Who says the treasures do not exist? Here is another one uncovered.

David and Andrew Whelan, father and son, unearthed the Viking hoard, which dates back to the 10th Century, in Harrogate. The intact treasure was transferred to the British Museum to be examined by experts, who said the discovery was "phenomenal".

It was declared as a treasure at a court hearing in Harrogate on Thursday. North Yorkshire coroner Geoff Fell said: "I'm delighted that such an important Viking hoard has been discovered in North Yorkshire. We are extremely proud of our Viking heritage in this area."
