Trove of Viking Artifacts Discovered on Isle of Man

A hoard of Viking Age artifacts that was discovered on the Isle of Man has officially been declared a national treasure. This latest Viking treasure hoard was buried around 950 AD and discovered in November 2020 by metal detectorist Kath Giles. Comprising three valuable items of jewelry: a gold arm-ring, a silver armband and a massive silver brooch, all three will soon join the spectacular Viking display at the Manx Museum. Named after the diligent finder who followed all national treasure protocols and delivered this magnificent micro-hoard to the nation, the exhibition will be called “the Giles Hoard.”
