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.”
Tror staten skal bare ta myntene, men artikkelen sier at han skal få belønning
I know what your thinking, but just stop. This won’t happen to you. You’ll just get all sore and sweaty from walking around. Maybe even sunburned. Return to the couch like the good lord intended.
I went metal detecting in my back yard once. I found a rusty spoon and a 12" length of pipe!
I also went on an old farm and found half an ox shoe. Neat!
I didn’t know they made shoes for half-oxes.
Thats just two less shoes than for a complete ox.
It’s more likely two fewer.
Technically fewer shoes are also less shoes (at leastif I translate to my language lol)
No, shoes are countable, so it’s “fewer.”
I don’t want to get off the couch either, but I’m sure he was thinking the same thing.

Huh. I knew gold is one of the few metals that you can find in pure elemental form in the Earth’s crust, but I had no idea it was already forged into pendants and jewelry and stuff! Geology really is fascinating.
Captain Sabertooth coins,” said 51-year-old Erlend Bore, referring to a fictional Norwegian pirate.
what’s up Norsemen, who’s this Captain Sabertooth, and why don’t i know him… i didn’t know i needed a fictional Norwegian pirate until today, but now i need one very much, thanks, that sounds brilliant…
Captain Sabertooth is a dangerous man.
It says so, in his song.
It’s a childrens story character. Kids in Norway are crazy about him. He is one of the main themes in the zoo/amusement park in Kristiansand. They have a midnight theatre (23:00-00:30) with ridiculously high production value. Went there this summer with my four year old twins who had an absolute blast of a time.
10 gold pearls
So do you put gold in an oyster or what?
Back to the couch?
idk if i missed it, but no mention of the time period of the relics?
“Date from around 500 A.D. experts say”
Hmm, guess we’ll never know
Hmm, kanskje æ også sku ha gjort det…
Yes, yes, I agree. Du lukter dritgodt and all that.
I agree; shallow and pedantic.
