http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-29582866 A haul of Viking treasure has been unearthed from a field in south west Scotland by an amateur using a metal detector. Derek McLennan, a retired businessman from Ayrshire, made the find in Dumfriesshire in September. In total, more than 100 items were recovered, including armbands, a cross and brooches. Experts have said the discovery is one of the most important Viking hoards ever found in Scotland. The items are believed to be worth a six-figure sum. Mr McLennan last year uncovered Scotland's biggest haul of medieval silver coins. Wow, Mr McLennan is obviously good at this! I wonder how much money he'll make from this and any other future finds? |
