statutory finder's reward: bro found the viking 401k and they gave him a gift card
Metal Detector Guy Finds Record Viking Hoard, Will Be Paid Way Less Than You Think
A metal detectorist in Norway (the discovery was announced this week) unearthed a Viking Age hoard that archaeologists are calling the largest of its kind ever found in the country — silver coins, jewellery and hacked-up bullion buried roughly a thousand years ago. The finder, who was sweeping a field with permission from the landowner, has handed the entire haul to the national heritage authorities, who will assess it and pay a statutory finder's reward instead of market value.
