A Norwegian man needed a hobby. His new metal detector found a showy 1,500-year-old gold necklace..

Under Norwegian law, objects from before 1537, and coins older than 1650, are considered state property and must be handed in.

This will be taken by the government and he will get NOTHING.

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.
