A "stunning" collection of 1,000-year-old gold and silver Viking jewellery has been discovered on the Isle of Man by a metal detectorist.


Retired police officer Kath Giles made the find on farm land in the north of the island.


The hoard includes a gold arm ring and a "massive" silver brooch dating back to 950 AD.

It seems they were thrilled by the find. Boy I sure would be if I found that bracelet.
 

Awesome that that small collection of gold and silver, says a lot about who these jewelry items were "borrowed" from...!
