The Vikings knew their precious metals..Absolutely. And their ships, and their women, and their weapons...seems to me the Vikings were simply awesome.

And they were here way before Columbus, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe.

I was born near the site of the Kensington Runestone. Always wanted to wield a sword or eat meat straight off a leg of goat, for some reason.. Hhhmmm.
They were an adventurous bunch, to say the least.

I swear this is true; if I had found this, you would never have read about it. I would very slowly sell of those precious family heirlooms my great grandfather bought at very high prices.

Why is it that the only “treasure” I find in my backyard is dog turds?
To: dware
Yup, that’s where my ancestors said they buried the family fortune, not far from a small castle, because there were no banks available. If they show me the pieces, I am sure I can identify them.
