The hoard of Viking silver
coins and artefacts is valued at £49,500
A fundraising appeal is under way to
keep a Viking treasure find within South Cumbria.
The Furness Hoard of Viking Treasure was found a year ago at an undisclosed
site by a metal detector enthusiast.
Campaigners need to raise £50,000 to buy and put it on display at the Dock
Museum in Barrow.
The Furness Maritime Trust, a charity that supports the museum, has offered
£19,000, meaning fundraisers need to raise £31,000.
The hoard includes 92 silver coins, ingots and part of a bracelet
