I hereby claim said horde in the name of my Viking Kitty ancestors!
TOL will be sending the Chimera along to collect it shortly I’m sure...

a lot of notable hordes in englaland in the last couple of years. The anglo-saxon booty hoard was just stunning.
To: SunkenCiv
It seems like a lot of treasure has been found recently in Great Britan....
To: SunkenCiv
Vikings - great fighters.....poor money managers. Probably could’ve conquered the world if they’d only opened The First Bank of Lars.

Here you are, Normie my friend!
Your pack animal for the day. You provide the trappings.
I made him small enough that he can't actually eat you.
You're welcome.

Beautiful workmanship. Whoever left this in the ground must have been slaughtered - along with all his or her family. Their bones are gone ... but this remains, to be found a millennia later.
To: blueunicorn6
They were largely haard money men.

It could have been buried for temporary hiding; it could have been booty taken during some days-long skimirshing; maybe it’s grave goods; it could even have been in a dwelling which was torched, and the ashpile never got inspected for loot.
