Viking hoard found in Scotland

Post by Borgholio »

Remember someone found a hoard of Roman coins in England not too long ago? Someone just found a cache of Viking gold and silver in Scotland.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-29595359
A Viking treasure trove has been unearthed in a field in Dumfriesshire.

The haul is said to be worth a six figure sum, but has been described as priceless by academics studying Scotland's past.

Silver and gold ingots, brooches and armbands were found by a retired businessman from Ayrshire who was using a metal detector.

Experts are working to figure out what can be learned from the treasure trove, which will be put it on public display.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

I know, but I didn't catch it until the edit window closed. Now it's ironical. :wink:
