Classed as a Viking hoard but seems to be English that was stolen by the Vikings. Keep an eye out on tonights news and/or teletext.

You forgot the Vibrating probe with searchlight, and the stainless steel digging tool made by XYZ, that was rushed to the scene by dealer ABC after an inferior make broke Back to top UK Brian Joined: 08 May 2007 Posts: 431 Location: Wales Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2007 8:49 am    Post subject: Hoard Ziggie wins the prize.
