Just Find a exceptional Viking brooch in silver.
Really a big shock to dig it up..
a fairly equal in silver is only found one time before, in Sweden / Birka during excavation of a tomb in the early 1900s

That would be considered Treasure in the UK!

I'm voting banner on condition & rarity, not seen this type of equal-armed Brooch before!

That's very cool! I recently found out that I have some Viking origins (through DNA testing). I'd love to find something like that... but unfortunately I don't think many Vikings landed in Colorado. Haha.

Wonderful digs mate. I have to admit my envy for your hunting that historic soil. Love the old coins and relics popped out of the ground in your video. I am happy as heck to get an Indian Head penny here in the states. Not sure how I'd react to recovering Viking silver?!?:censored: Amazing recovery. Banner find I'd say. Well done.

Thanks for all the congratulations and banner nominations.
Have got checked around a bit in the Nordic region. There are two known Brooch of this type, besides Birka Sveigen have found one in Denmark. So this will be no 3 and the first of its kind in Norway.
And this is the only found with a metal detector.
