Viking Silver Declared Treasure


"A Viking silver ingot dating back 1,000 years which was discovered using a metal detector in the Isle of Man has been declared treasure trove.

An inquest ruled that the 20g ingot, found by John Crowe in October 2009 in a field in Andreas, is the property of the Queen, the Lord of Mann.

Mr Crowe, who may receive a reward, reported his find to the Manx Museum."
