The rum tax, which was found just two months ago, is also relevant in this context. It consists of six intact gold arm rings from the Viking Age with a total weight of 762.5 grams. Where the silver treasures from Rebild especially reflect silver as payment metal by weight, the Rold treasure points to its massive gold on elite, status and power.

"We have an area that repeatedly delivers spectacular finds from the Viking Age. The new silver treasure shows that the Rebild area was not a peripheral region, but part of the major economic and cultural connections..."

Does this man get paid for any of this find or does a museum collect it and that’s that?

Stardew valley ass discovery

Imagine carrying a purse with your valuables where just the content weighs around 18.5 kg + the weight of the clay container around it... Dude must have been really ripped.

This is cool, a small Thor's hammer, and to wear a bracelet and touch the items that someone so long ago made and valued. Imagine the story, could have been from violence, ill gains and hidden there or hidden by the owners for safety?

The hoard includes silver bars, bracelets, 47 whole coins and fragments, a small Thor's hammer and various cut silver objects that had originally been deposited inside a clay vessel, the museum statement says. According to the museum, the hoard of almost 18.5kg of silver is three times larger than the largest Viking Age silver hoard found to date, the so-called Terslev Hoard of approximately 6.5kg.
