Viking Treasure!

MARSTA, Sweden, April 4 (UPI) -- Swedish archaeologists said they have uncovered a horde of Viking-era silver coins near Arlanda airport in the country's Uppland region.

450 silver coins, some from Baghdad and Damascus, proving that the Vikings really did get around in those days.

Unfortunately, laws in Europe mostly are written so that any such horde becomes the property of the state, instead of the finder.
