At first, the Norwegian man thought his metal detector reacted to chocolate money buried in the soil. It turned out to be nine pendants, three rings and 10 gold pearls in what was described as the country’s gold find of the century.
The rare find was made this summer by 51-year-old Erlend Bore on the southern island of Rennesoey, near the city of Stavanger. Bore had bought his first metal detector earlier this year to have a hobby after his doctor ordered him to get out instead of sitting on the couch.
“At first I thought it was chocolate coins or Captain Sabertooth coins,” said Bore, referring to a fictional Norwegian pirate. “It was totally unreal.”
Under no circumstances would I go public with such a discovery let alone inform any government of my findings. Why the fuck would anyone obey such a law?
Is just want the gold value for it. It goes in a museum with your name on it as the discoverer forever. That’s pretty cool.
