This man found a treasure but realized it very late

A man found a treasure, but in 1964.
Today it no longer belongs to him.
It is the story of Norwegian Jan Gunnar Fugelsnes who was just a child at the time.
The treasure fell into his hands by pure chance, while he was playing with his brother among the ruins of the old floor of the local church.
In the holes the two brothers found coins, needles and a stone.
After almost 60 years Jan Gunnar Fugelsnes has found the yellow Kodak slide case in which he had placed the found objects.
The innocent game of two children has become a forgotten theft of historic goods.
Once the lost treasure was discovered, the man presented himself to the county municipality of Møre og Romsdal and handed over the stolen goods from 60 years ago.
Deep and heartfelt thanks came from the municipality officials and the archaeologists who analyzed the objects.
They discovered that the coins are ancient, date back to the Middle Ages and now exist in very few pieces.
A heartfelt thank you, but no profit.
In fact, the discovery of coins and other objects does not guarantee any ownership.
According to a local law, all finds before 1605 are state property.

A surprise that also involved archaeologists in the area, called to examine the treasure brought by man.
This had in fact brought back some coins, specifically 14 silver coins, three needles and an amber pearl.
How did they get into the hands of Jan Gunnar Fugelsnes? As children he and his brother played near the county church.
It was an old structure, but certainly not of medieval origin like the objects found.
The brothers, who were looking for objects under the church, stumbled upon some pits dug in the floor.
Jan Gunnar Fugelsnes says that they used to pretend to be treasure hunters and the environment of the church was very evocative in this sense.
However, the two did not know that they had placed their hands in a tomb that day.
In fact, the objects seem to be common in the clothing of the deceased, such as the amber pearl which could belong to a prayer crown intended for priests and deacons.
Access to that area of the church was opened to them by Nazi soldiers.
Two decades earlier they had dug and hidden or deposited ammunition in that area.
The two brothers found these objects while playing and, naively, kept them until they forgot them at home.
Sixty years later, Jan Gunnar Fugelsnes rediscovered them a second time.

Carl-Fredrik Wahr-Hansen Vemmestad was therefore able to verify the originality of the pieces and date them.
To everyone's surprise, some of the coins even date back to the 13th century, or around 1280 AD.
At the time King Mark VI ruled over Norway.
Of the 14 silver coins discovered, however, not all are so ancient, some date back to 1450 AD, a period in which King Christian I was the ruler.
The discovery therefore suggests a tomb closer to the second period discovered, with some old coins included in the humble funeral kit.
The same goes for the needles and the amber pearl.
Coins are the real treasure, especially because their discovery is quite rare.
In all of Norway there are just a handful of them.
