Unburied treasure: a viking hoard found by a Scottish detectorist and its 'bizarre' link to South Australia | Adelaide | The Guardian https://share.google/ogDOw83gk0yfKxflm
Cor blimey cobba.....
Treasure looted by Vikings from the monastery on Kangaroo Island no less.
Given their mining industry etc the idea of Australians producing decent metal detectors is hardly a shock ;)
Ouch... ;D
Us Aussies are trained to sniff out precious metals from birth.
I would compare us to pigs who sniff out truffles, but truffles are worth more than gold, so the pigs are more skilled.
::)
Has anyone from the current US administration suggested employing Aussies to sniff out rare earths? ???
Too late. I've already dug them up and put them in my sock draw.

Which explains why they're now rare.
Big sock drawer?
Very big.
What an interesting house you have Steve. Museum display cabinets and the Elgin Marbles in the lounge, giant sock draw full of mineral wealth elsewhere.
Par for the course, down under.
Something has to fund my wargaming.
Got the Bayeux Tapestry in my lounge room as well, or should I call it the Temple of Jupiter Maximus? It's a big house.
However, starting to downsize, just like Diocletian!

You know what they say about big sock drawers...
Big socks
And what do big socks say? Big feet!
First Vikings in Australia, now Bigfoot.
