Dozens of Ancient Silver Coins Discovered in Viking ‘Wallet’ on Isle of Man
Breitbart News | October 3, 2024 | Olivia Rondeau
A 1,000-year-old Viking “wallet” containing dozens of silver coins was recently discovered by British historians on the Isle of Man, officials announced Monday.
… around 36 whole and fragmented coins …
What is even more interesting is that the coins were minted under multiple different Irish and English rulers, with the majority from the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066 AD), as well as English kings Aethelred II (978-1016 AD) and Canute (1016-1035 AD).
They found scrapbooking stuff in his wallet also. Most people dont realize the Vikings were craftspeople, farmers, seafarers, merchants, and warriors.
I heard they did the first ever Craft Swap with the French for some French Ticklers.
A 10%-off coupon from Bjorn’s House of Eels…
A ticket from Repairs by Olaf, with a notation, “One helmet, two horns – Fix dent from mace blow, and polish”, with a one week promise for delivery…
He never picked up the helmet, though, and 51 historians called the helmet Russian disinformation.
I hope whoever fou d the wallet made an attempt to return it to its rightful owner.
I hate my keyboard.

What’s In Njørl’s Wallet?
One unused condom.
In light of Gene’s comment above, I will say, yes, it does appear to be a French tickler.
“Shoot a fella could have a pretty good time in Valhalla with that.”
Unused? That’s no Viking that I know…
Do the ones you know carry used condoms? Ew.
What’s In Njørl’s Wallet?
A short political tract written by Eric the Red’s child.
“Using farting oarsmen instead of wind power? How DARE you?”
Yes, it was a Leif-let.
1 Concealed axe carry permit
1 slim profile muti-tool with a nearly useless compass that his kids gave him for Father’s Day
1 nearly finished punch card for a free tankard of mead at Sven Svensson’s Sursild shack.
A MapQuest printout of directions to the next village to pillage.
What’s In Njørl’s Wallet?
Keith Richard’s phone number.
He also had a picture of himself and Madonna. On the back, in her handwriting, were the words “Like the very first time”.
