A man hunting for fishing worms near his summer house in the Stockholm area has made an amazing discovery: a large hoard of silver coins and jewelry from the early Middle Ages. The hoard, weighing around six kilograms (13 pounds), consists of thousands of silver coins mixed with rings, pendants, and beads.
The finder immediately informed the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which began an archaeological excavation of the site. The hoard is described by experts as unusually large and well-preserved. The items were placed in a copper cauldron that has mostly decayed over the centuries.
“This is likely one of the largest silver hoards from the early Middle Ages ever found in Sweden,” Sofia Andersson, an antiquarian at the County Administrative Board, said in a statement. “We don’t know how many coins there are yet, but I think it could be as many as twenty thousand.”

No sterling silver or 90% or less.
I was reading about that. No junk coins or collectibles. No melt down. .999 only.
My board is nothing but green all the way across. I have several stocks up over 10% today. It’s crazy!

I have been buying silver for several months. I stopped about 2 weeks ago to see how it shakes out. I got around 100 ozs. I also got many silver proof sets.
I haven’t checked my stocks today. The stock market took a hit Friday when President Trump said he was going to raise the tariffs on China. Looks like it is bouncing back already.
