Even though DNA studies disprove the Khazars-are-Askenazi-Jews Theory, FR will play host to endless propagation of this intriguing myth.

Buried treasure was believed to be guarded by dragons in the days of old, but nowadays Sweden's law on historical monuments sets strict penalties for anyone searching for treasure with metal detectors, or failing to report any buried gold, silver or copper to the police or local museums.
Two words: Black Market
Two more words: Melting Pot
That's where these laws send most stuff when found by someone with any IQ.
Anyone discovering and dutifully reporting treasure gets a reward in line with the value of the find. Engstrom is still waiting for his, as archaeologists have studied only a fraction of the Spillings hoard, named after his farm.
Since 1999, because, since you can't legally sell it, it's all worth exactly nothing.

Note: this topic is from . Re-ping. Thanks vannrox.
One of the most important coins in the hoard, dating from AD 830 to 840, sheds light on a place far away: Its markings show its provenance is the kingdom of the Khazars, a realm in southern Russia between the Black and Caspian seas.
