Old viking granny dropped her purse on the way to the store.

I’ve horde that that’s one of the bigger hoards to ever escape the attention of a horde.

I’m guessing Viking grannies didn’t carry purses, just a spear and shield.

Just wait until one of these old hoards are found by a guy with a metal detector on the beach near Hamilton.

Yeah, the entire Viking economy went down the toilet when they went off the plundering gold standard.

This kind of money is usually lost at one kind of place...a hoard house.
To: SunkenCiv
What’s with the green coins? Are they copper?
Not much chance I will find a viking horde here in Ohio, but there is always Tecumseh’s gold. Its supposed to be around Dayton somewhere.

Ah, real money.
Thousands of years later, these coins are still valuable. Imagine what a horde of dollars will be worth when some archaeologist digs some up a few hundred years from now.
