The part they don't tell you is that the guy doesn't get to keep it. It gets confiscated and he will get a finders fee which will be a tiny fraction of what its worth. Personally, i wouldn't have said anything about it.
@@mnoell35yes he should've, I'll never forget seeing a doc about treasure hunters at sea where they found tons of gold and silver coinage. This was after a decade plus of hammering down the location and soon as they went public they lost it all. The country of origin even after centuries claimed ownership. Couldn't believe the treasure hunters got shafted so hard. U hear about it all the time with stuff like this too. This old dude is definitely bouta get shafted too
I would love to read the law that states something buried in the ground, going back a thousand years is owned by a party. Step forward and state your ownership😂
@@joshlewis575hilarious to hear someone claiming to own the sea and everything in it. I could see this happening in the U.S. we are on stolen land, obviously, but bet if something was found that was 500 years old the state would claim it, it's mine! No dude, that's chief sitting bull's great great great great great grandpappys treasure
*government They will claim it's their property and give you a fraction of its worth before forcibly taking it. You're better selling it on the free market anonymously.
@@jameshill8493sure we can. If the government wants it let them go out and find it themselves. It’s absolute horse crap that the government (any government) can give itself the right and power to seize a persons property because they (the government) have an interest in it.
@@jameshill8493yeah I'm sure what looks to be a old families savings are gonna just shed so much light on the people of the era. There's 10s of billions in "masters" art hanging in rich peoples homes. How come that's a thing? Doubt Johnny law is going to bezos and confiscating his Picassos or Rembrandts.
Whatever it is, it has great historical value because most likely 99.99% of all such artifacts & treasures have been lost over time. Time is the great destroyer of things! Men have given her a helping hand in doing it too!
I read about this. Norwegian law says the man who found it will be giving, (for the lack of a better term,) money for finding it and the land owner will be giving money as well.
@Johnwillbegone and if you find something like this you'll never get to get what it's worth. You'd be lucky if the museum that'll house it will offer 1/10th of it's value.
@@Johnwillbegonelol you can't just buy one and hope to find treasure. It takes a long time to even figure out how to use em properly. I haven't even begun to know how to use mine 😂 I found tons of old bottles/containers from over 100 yrs ago in this spot in the woods though, so I bought one to see if I can find anything cool. It's for the fun/thrill. Finding something legit will be a bonus
Been reading many stories lately about people just buying metal detectors and then shortly after they are going somewhere and stop to relieve themselves. Lo and behold while they are stopped they decide to try out the metal detector and find a huge hoard of gold, silver and priceless artifacts. On several occasions it turns out that they have been raiding places at night finding things but not reporting them as required. After a few years and enough treasure they report their find from the side of the road, and don't have to split it with the owners of property they found it on. Not saying that's what happened here, but sounds fishy to me.
It's not much of a treasure of he got nothing for it 😂😆. Did he just give it to them, or did they steal it from him and claim it needed to be done because it didn't originally belong to him? Knowing the world we live in, it wouldn't surprise me if that is what happened.
The part they don't tell you is that the guy doesn't get to keep it. It gets confiscated and he will get a finders fee which will be a tiny fraction of what its worth. Personally, i wouldn't have said anything about it.
So he should have went black market instead?
@@mnoell35black market is just a slur for a free market where the government doesn’t get to take a cut of what they have nothing to do with.

In Phildelphia, it's worth fifty bucks.....

That's amazing! Good for him!
Man finds priceless treasure and promptly has the government come in and say thats of historical importance and confiscates it.
Because it is of historical importance. We can’t let people just do what they want with priceless artifacts all Willy nilly
@@jameshill8493 Finders keepers loosers weepers.
@@jameshill8493Why not? Lol. It’s junk that’s been sitting in the ground for decades or centuries.

Wow, what are the odds he found treasure right after buying a metal detector.
0:1
When it's meant to be . . .
How incredibly wonderful!
It’s not just treasure, it’s Viking treasure!!!
Plundered treasure you mean
If it's more than 1500 years old then it's not viking
Vendel period, or Merovingian age, older than vikings
Whatever it is, it has great historical value because most likely 99.99% of all such artifacts & treasures have been lost over time. Time is the great destroyer of things! Men have given her a helping hand in doing it too!
its the vikings forefathers it is kinda viking@@igormac9431
Wow!! How exciting for him!! ❤

Far below its value I'm sure
😢😢😢
Those look like some heavy coins, that plus the historical value. Bet he barely gets 2 coins worth of the full find
Dang, we ate all the ones we found since we thought they were chocolate!
Your supposed to take the foil off first. 😂
I remember those! 😋
Well metal detectors are going to get more expensive..now that I want one lol.. Congrats to the guy who found this trove.
Don’t do it lol it will just waste your time and money
@@casedistortedbeen there done that. I in a million find anything of value. Dig garbage after garbage.

What's on the coins? Looks mythological
When you discover gold it all belongs to the Government .
Some Vikings private stash. I wonder how deep it was.
How much was he paid for his discovery?
We don’t know details of treasure or the value or where it was found. Bummer incomplete story. Very cool that he found!
Oh great, now a ton more people will buy metal detectors
Super awesome but I would not have said a word about any of this
... I'd just start wearing cool viking pendants and stuff daily
Same
😂
Bloody cursed
Yeah just wear it that would be hilarious 😂
@@evonne315 I'd be like the viking mr T... I pity the fool that don't bring me my mead!
Plot twist: he owns stock in a metal detector manufacturer.
@@CommercialVehicle it’s a joke, not a d. Don’t take it so hard.
Treasure was located yet now?
Talk about beginners luck 😳
*How much was it worth?*
Amazing, Great Discovery.👍

Whats the images depicting on the pendant they showed? Looks wild.
A Norwegian man found it, but where did he find it?
Nebraska
@Jawn.. Actually, it was Kansas right at the Nebraska/Kansas state line.
OMG 🤣🤣🤣
@@PSCA1988 excuse my error
And my friend buys lottery tickets every day instead of one of these. I just shake my head.
If I were to find a treasure out there such as this one, I’m not telling a soul lol
I’m surprised the state hasn’t seized it yet
Amazon just sold out of metal detectors. 😂😂
Viking plunder from their raids across the seas.
FASCINATING!!! I LOVE T💞🤗💞🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏🙏🙏
Let me guess, the government confiscated it all, and didnt even buy him a coffee
But does he have to pay taxes on it?
What's the tax on 0? That will be called "of historical importance " and he'll lose it all.
Before we congratulate him, Does anybody knows how much does all of his findings worth?
IT'S THE RARE SCARAB BEETLE 🪲🐞
Hopefully he got his money’s worth for it
Wonder how much its worth?
Ima git me a tector!!!
Did I miss something?? WHERE?? Why are people saying it’s Viking? Did they say that somewhere?
Let me guess. He found it in Europe. The land that claims all treasures and gives you a pat on the back... lucky sure. That all he got was luck.
I bet metal detectors are already sold out on Amazon…………
I've also found treasure, just not near as much 🤣
Yeah, I found old bottle caps
It looks Celtic, the depictions are like that of a celtic stater not so much Viking
Resembles a gold coin and beads that are tied in a Thali . It's a wedding custom of the Tamils in India!
I would’ve just worn it to work the next day
I understood every word after I took the speed reading course
Terrible report
Should have kept his mouth shut because the government is going to take every last piece of it from him.
Finders keepers right
Old coins? Depiction sym
He'll need a new hobby now though... you can't go back to finding rusty nails and soda tabs after that.
Lol i would have keep it meself
They would probably make more selling it if they melted it down and went to a bullion dealer. Sadly policy and regulation destroy so much.
ffs its not a news paper, if i want to read about a story i get the paper not watch tv ffs
It's not much of a treasure of he got nothing for it 😂😆. Did he just give it to them, or did they steal it from him and claim it needed to be done because it didn't originally belong to him? Knowing the world we live in, it wouldn't surprise me if that is what happened.
Of course he gave it to him. It was that or prison.
