The hoard was acquired by the Museum! Latest news was from Dec. 2020. Congrats!
Excellent news! I just now ran across this video and was anxious when I saw that the deadline had past. Glad that people were able to help make this possible.
Each object is priceless and belongs conserved in a museum
If someone would like to purchase a replica of one of the brooches, check out Raymond's Quiet Press. Beautiful stuff. Thank you for this video. It's pretty amazing to have someone show these priceless items off.
Lovely work indeed.
Thanks for that info🙏
I would love to see this collection one day - from America
Thanks I never heard of this
2:00 "ears are ringing with the sound" Okey. That is the 4 Directions, By blowing its showing witch direction it shall be used in. just a little clue for you 😂
Wow… it is 2022… scary Moment… Did the hoard had been aquired? I hope it really was!
This is amazing! Gib
who gets the hoard otherwise? Isn't it declared as treasure?
If the issue is anything like the Staffordshire hoard issue, then it comes down to having the finances to purchase the hoard for a museum to avoid it being broken up and sold to private collectors. ua-cam.com/video/jmnkbLXpFuM/v-deo.html
The hoard linked to above was able to be saved and is shared between two museums. The research is monumental to our understanding of the Saxon period in Britain and all that knowledge would have been lost if the funding to purchase it whole had not been provided, largely by public donations. This is a link to more information, including the discovery, of this incredible hoard. The best documentary on the discovery keeps getting taken down but this one is good. ua-cam.com/video/6ofCNSfF3vM/v-deo.html
@@billie-jobenway8658 Wouldn't it make sense to alter the treasure trove law so that buyers have to allow some study of certain objects before they can physically claim them?
@@Catubrannos That would be great. Or that museums have the first shot at purchasing items at least. Personally, I don't like the idea of historically significant artifacts going to private collectors at all, but that's just me.
I think they should be in the hands of experts to study and conserve properly. Besides, artifacts like these, in my opinion, should belong to the public in general, available to go on display when stable enough to be.
I don't understand why would it be lost!??
Are the scratched symbols in the first image Cistercian numbers? Possibly 43 0 3?
?
@@sobraine123 Presumably you are asking a question: could you be a little more specific?
I initially thought they might be Ogham, but I can see how they might be Cistercian, too. Would love to know.
@@DavyBrando Have you never heard of Wikipedia?
these are simply Runes/Runic symbols

@@peterdonaldhume you are funny trying to sound "Authorative" and then cite wiki ? Littleman its time to pay attention to your video games and let the adults do the research.
anglo saxons...maybe..what about the danes...
save the hoard from what?
Queen Elizabeth the second
Some one that want to take it out of the country
They have it at the museum now
Equally up there with staffordshire hoard, i might have to jump on a ferry cross the stream and visit the museum in near future.
Does it belong to me? :)
Probably not.
It is a viking hoard that belongs to Norway. It's our heritage, and we want it now!
That’s what I was also thinking does it go to all us Galloway’s.
Torbjørn Lund belongs to Norway? How is that even a thing?
@@cannednolan8194 It's not a thing.
why wasn't it just donated? I mean...who 'owned' it? glad it was sensibly acquired by the museum.
It's generally owned equally by the land owner and the person who found it. The government seizes the items, determines a value for them, and will sell them, giving the money to the finder/land owner. Kind of hard to expect people who don't have an extra shilling in their pocket to just donate something of this value. Certain museums will have first shot of purchasing it (usually local or county), and every effort is made to find a buyer from within the country so the treasures don't wind up in some private collection in Chicago.
YOU DID,T SAY WHY ITS UNDER THREAT ?
It's for sale, as are all hoards, but the National Museums Scotland has first shot at purchasing it. If they can't raise the money, someone else gets the opportunity to buy it. And often that is an "out-of-country" buyer.
if, like in Ireland, the vikings raided religious communities.... where are all the crosses, shrines and coins. what I've seen so far consists of serpent jewelry and armlets.
which religion did they really raid?
could they have been commisioned by Rome?
This was in Galloway where Norse and Norse-Irish settled so it could have been their own stuff they were wanting to hide from rival groups.
@@Catubrannos Or narrative is inaccurate. History isn't written by the dead - eventually yes.
It does belong in the museum it does not need to go into private collection whatsoever it belongs to the people of where it was found. The Vikings stoled at fair and square! Lol
