Norwegian family finds Viking-era relics while looking for earring
By George WrightBBC News
A family in Norway were searching for a Lost Gold earring in their garden when they decided to get their metal detector out.
They did not find the earring but did stumble upon Something Else : artefacts dating back More Than 1,000 years.
The Aasvik family dug up a bowl-shaped buckle and another item that appear to be part of a Viking-era burial.
Experts believe the artefacts were used in the ninth-century burial of A Woman on the Small Island of Jomfruland.
The Discovery was made under a large tree in the centre of The Family 's garden on The Island , off Norway's South Coast .
" We congratulate The Family who found The First safe Viking-time find at Jomfruland, " the Cultural Heritage of Vestfold and Telemark County Council wrote in a Facebook post.
Experts knew there had been settlements on The Island dating back hundreds of years, but evidence only went back to the Middle Ages .
One expert concluded that the buckle dates from between 780 and 850.
Officials praised the Aasvik family for immediately telling authorities about the rare discovery.
