A member suggested this might be a better place for more to enjoy this. I was unsure where to post this initially.
Excerpts from article:
"There's material from Ireland, from Scandinavia, from various places in central Europe and perhaps ranging over a couple of centuries." With the few items the men had already found, it was time to do a full-on excavation.
Among the relics were gold and silver ingots, arm bands, and brooches. But there was one object in particular that caught the attention of McLennan and his two friends. Among the treasures was an early medieval Christian cross.
I must be honest I am totally envious!

Nothing Like This Hoard Has Ever Been Found In Scotland
The head of the National Museum of Scotland's Treasure Trove Unit, Stuart Campbell, discussed the importance of the fund with BBC. During his interview with the network, Campbell said, "Nothing like this has been found in Scotland before in terms of the range of material this hoard represents."There's material from Ireland, from Scandinavia, from various places in central Europe and perhaps ranging over a couple of centuries." With the few items the men had already found, it was time to do a full-on excavation.
There Was A Trove Of Viking Relics Under His Feet
McLennan had actually stumbled upon a trove of Viking relics, objects that have been lost and buried for over 1,000 years! With the number of items he pulled from the earth, it might be the largest find ever.Among the relics were gold and silver ingots, arm bands, and brooches. But there was one object in particular that caught the attention of McLennan and his two friends. Among the treasures was an early medieval Christian cross.
