QUIRKY WORLD ... Vikings coin it but are 1,000 years too late for treasure

WALES: Viking coins from 1,000 years ago have been officially declared as treasure.

The hoard, which dates back to the 10th and 11th centuries, was found in Llandwrog, north Wales, by a local man using a metal detector. Experts believe the hoard was deliberately buried in the ground between 1020 and 1030 in a bid to store the silver.
