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 51-year-old Erlend Bore, referring to a fictional Norwegian pirate. “It was totally unreal.”
Go for it if you can afford it! It’s really expensive by Norwegian standards. We didn’t live at the park, sans the one night we were at the show, but at a friend who lives in the neighboring city.
ah that’s cool when you can call on a friend nearby… it sounds like a dangerously cheerful place, i gotta see it… i’ll start saving my pennies…
