Discover a treasure in Sweden

In the upper week of November, archaeologists announced that they had found more than 1,000 silver coins in a Viking treasure. This treasure, randomly discovered on Sweden's Gotland Peninsula, is said to have been buried around the 10th century.

Not only the ancient silver coins, archaeologists also found many silver bracelets weighing about 7 pounds, local museum official Majvor Ostergren told the Swedish news agency TT.

Edvin Sandborg, 20, and his brother Arvid, 17, found the treasure in mid-October, when they helped a neighbor do some garden work. Edvin Sandborg told TT: 'Also coincidentally, I suddenly found a silver coin dating back to about 1,100 years'.

The Sandborg brothers found more than 100 coins and decided to contact the local museum, and the institute sent a team of archaeologists to the scene to study. Although it is not clear, the Swedish government promised to give a bonus to the Sandborg brothers.

Dozens of silver treasures have been discovered in Gotland, the largest peninsula in the Baltic Sea, where the old heard was once an important trade center for the Vikings.

The largest treasure ever found on this peninsula is about 143 pounds of silver and 44 pounds of copper. In the picture are some silver coins found by the brothers Arvid and Edvin Sandborg on the Gotland Peninsula (Sweden) on 30/0/006.
