The Virginia Brooch, a treasure found in Co Cavan, Ireland

In this week's Cache Walk we are visiting the town of Virginia, Co Cavan for find a geocache that tells us about a silver brooch found in the turf at the edge of Lough Ramor. It's an ancient brooch with a Viking influence.

Thank you for including the craftsman’s work, very interesting. Never knew that there was a Virginia in Ireland too 😄 I’ve really enjoyed your Ireland walks!

The craftsman piece was fascinating. That wasn't his first broach.
Thanks for sharing the day with us.

Thanks glad you liked it. I had no idea a blacksmith could do such fine work. Beautiful.

Beautiful brooch. It is nice you showed the forging of a similar piece 👍🏼

[@GeoRick]

The blacksmith very kindly gave permission to use his footage. Love watching that clip too.

Awesome brooch footage. I would love to have those skills and his job. We found those two caches last year and loved sitting down by the lakeside. Fabulous altogether.
