“Nine gold pendants, with rare horse symbols, ten gold beads, and three gold rings...”
Still needs a Partridge in a Pear Tree to complete the set. ;)

So as a blob of gold it’s probably worth 10’s of thousands of dollars to the finder but as a priceless artifact it’s worth zero.

As a child, Erlend Bore wanted to be an archaeologist. So when his physiotherapist told him he must move more instead of sitting on the couch, he bought a metal detector and searched for archaeological objects, just as a hobby.
In line with Norwegian law, both Bore and the landowner will receive a reward although the sum has not yet been determined.

‘The Detectorists’ is one of my favorite series. I love each one of the quirky gold hounds. :)

You know what, maybe I ought to invest in a metal detector. Never know what I could dig up.

This time in history is known as the Migration Period, and later the Merovingian Age which starts around 550... This was also a time of crisis, with failing crops, worsening climate and plagues, according to Reiersen.
