True, if this never made it, it was time to put up the XP & call it a wrap.

Perhaps it was wraped in a cloth or leather bag, which has since rotted away.

SS

That thought has struck my mind too. Especially considering the way the items were laying in the hole.
As if they had been laying like in a smal bag. :icon_thumright:

Dane, I commend you for such a great find and also for calling an archeologist. Where I live (Tennessee) I would never call an archeologist. I hope that you guys have a better relationship with them than we do here in the states. We are mostly looked upon as looters and robbers. Tennessee digger

I can guarantee you of that, TD !!
We are seen as "bussiness partners". We do the hard work finding all the things, which they haven´t got the time nor the money for.
But we follow certain rules. All finds older than 1536 are delivered to the museum. All finds are registered by GPS.
We get a finders fee for our finds. (Selling finds older than 1536 is not allowed, they have to be delivered to the National Museum).
And we even are called in "as specialists" if the archaeologist are doing excavations, they know that we do that much better than they can do it !! :hello2:

Exactly, I like to think of myself as a specialist, never an expert...

I like the process you have but agree with TN digger. We are never called on to assist. Government Historians think they know it all..... Again, Well done!! :icon_thumleft:

A big congrats on the awesome Viking finds! I can't help but think there is an iron pot full of silver in the hole. HH and let us know what else you find, Mike

Looks like they were in a bag of some sort going on the diagram. I think perhaps some heavier items have sunk into the soil, well I hope so!
