I suspect it's more likely a little something for the missus than something dropped by a wandering evangelist. ;)
So, just checking. All this Viking raiding was more like a package tour business and the various hoards are just souvenirs and piles of foreign currency that have been mislaid?
Exactly. Those piles of Muslim and Frankish coins in hoards are actually local currency left over from such trips.

That's the trouble with foreign coins....so hard to change them back after a trip :)

You should see all the cute little donkeys with oranges they brought back from that Andalusian trip...

Well Jim, I feel that any laugh I might occasion would be but poor exchange for the many laughs your writing has given me.
