Even though we are all aware that It is necessary that we exercise to be healthy, for the vast majority of us it is hard work, since you have to find a certain motivation and pleasure to do it.
That is the case of a man originally from Norway, who is very fond of Archeology and taking this into account, He decided to buy a metal detector so that he could go for a walk every day and exercise.
The person in question, named Erlend Bore, According to some specialists, he managed to make “the great gold discovery of the century,” after On one of his walks, his artifact found some treasures from past centuries.
Bore, who initially thought they were toy or chocolate coins, He found 9 gold medallions and pearls, which made up a necklace, as well as 3 gold rings.
The man indicated that, as a child, he dreamed of becoming an archaeologist; However, he could not fulfill it. Today, at 50 years old, the doctors recommended that he go for a walk every day, which he does not like. So to motivate himself, he decided to acquire the metal detector and thus search for treasures during his walks.
A few days ago, while walking up a hill, he started to feel very tired, so he thought about returning home when suddenly the detector started beeping.
Immediately, Bore contacted the archaeological services, who after inspecting the area, found 100 grams of jewelry dating back to 500 AD.
“Given the location of the discovery and the lessons drawn from equivalent discoveries, these are undoubtedly precious hidden objects or an offering to the gods in a turbulent period,” explained Hakon Reiersen, director of the archaeological museum at the University of Stavanger.
Erlend will be given a financial reward for his discovery, although no further details were given about the amount of money he will receive.
