What a dumb ass. When you stumble on something like this you STFU and dig all night. LOL! At least that’s what somebody told me.

Gold never tarnishes and sparkles after 1000 years. GREAT stuff.
God is REALLY amazing, isn't He?

A rare piece of Viking gold dating back more than a thousand years was discovered by an amateur with a metal detector in Northern Ireland, ...It is one of only a few nuggets known from Ireland, experts said. I am sort of not getting how it can be viking gold, and yet - from Ireland. Do they mean the Vikings owned it, but it was produced in Ireland?
However, it is a great find - beautiful and pure, incorruptible gold, untouched by time.
Gold had a strong presence in Irish culture and mythology, and to be a goldsmith was a very honoured profession.

Yep good advice, especially in socialist countries like England, Scotland, and Ireland which will have the tax man on your like Obama on a free trip.
I also think they may also have have antiquity laws which require surrender of things found like this. Anyone here an expert on these matters?

Now this is what I consider a treasure trove -- 18 ct. gold, made by Tiffany in 1905, at the Milwaukee Art Museum
To: Oratam
My first thought as well.

I heard a story about a guy in the foothills of the Sierras who was using a backhoe to dig out a foundation for his new house.
Found 3 ozs of gold nuggets!
Dug up the whole 5 acres more and didn’t find a single gram more!
Sometimes, the gods smile on you.
Most of the time, it’s just a tease...

Sierras? Hell, that’s where I am. Guess I know what I’m doing the rest of the afternoon now. LOL! Of course it’s a little warm so I may wait until after the sun goes down some.

Dangit! Is nothing safe anymore?
You bury something once, and you expect it to *stay* buried.....I mean, I know nothing about this.
