The discovery was made under a large tree in the center of the family's garden on an island off the southern coast of Norway.

“We congratulate the family who discovered the first Viking find on the island of Jomfruland,” the Cultural Heritage Council of Vestfold and Telemark County said in a statement on Facebook.

Experts knew there were settlements on the island dating back hundreds of years, but the evidence only went back to the Middle Ages.
