Archaeologists in Norway have uncovered a Viking Age hoard containing 2,970 silver coins minted in England, Germany, Denmark and Norway. It is the largest Viking coin hoard ever discovered in Norway — and archaeologists aren't done digging yet.
Two metal detectorists found the first 19 coins April 10 on a farm near the village of Rena in eastern Norway, according to a translated statement from Norway's Directorate for Cultural Heritage. The detectorists alerted local archaeologists, who joined the search the following day.
