A person using a metal detector.
Amazing what a metal detector can find.
  • Erlend Bore was told by his doctor that he needed to get outside more.
  • Bore bought a metal detector earlier this year as a hobby and stumbled across an archeological marvel. 
  • He discovered gold pearls, rings, and pendants. It's considered Norway's "gold find of the century."
