Geocache Description:

This geocache contains a log book, pencil, my contact and geocaching info. All types of metal and plastic coins, gold and colored rings make up the Hoard.

You will be looking for a lock-n-lock container with a canvas bag inside. The canvas bag is closed with a brass Viking Cloak Pin. This pin is not a trading item and please replace it as found. All the coins, rings, pathtags and TBs inside the canvas bag are trading items.

A Viking silver hoard (or Viking hoard) is a cache of (mostly) silver coins, ingots, personal ornaments and fragmented metal left in buried deposits throughout the Viking empire between about AD 800 and 1150. There are hundreds of these stashes which have been found cached in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and northern Europe. They are still found today; the most recent was the Harrogate hoard discovered in Yorkshire in July 2007.
