The hoard of Viking silver coins and artefacts will now stay in south Cumbria
A museum has raised almost £50,000 to
keep a hoard of Viking treasure in Cumbria, where it was found.
A metal detector enthusiast found the 92 silver coins and ingots near
Stainton, Dalton, in 2010.
Barrow Dock Museum launched an appeal to buy the treasure and it has now hit
its target.
The hoard was officially declared treasure, giving museums the rights to buy
the haul. Museum curator Sabine Skae said she was "over the moon".
