Thanks for this thread. What is the art work on the coins?

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.

It seems like a lot of treasure has been found recently in Great Britan....

Vikings - great fighters.....poor money managers. Probably could’ve conquered the world if they’d only opened The First Bank of Lars.

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.

“uncovered a 1,000-year-old casket containing 200 pieces of silver jewellery, coins, hacksilver and ingots”

What is the time limit on when it ceases to be grave robbing?
