This may be news to some, but this was found in 1999. Made the news then, too. I found out from my brother-in-law, who was living in Greenland at the time.

From the article:

A previous landowner who visited the excavation commented that he had found metal wires around the find-spot several years earlier, but thinking that they were only steel wire, he had thrown them away.

Ouch... Throwing away silver...
