Interesting! If I'm reading the maps correctly that area experienced some massive foods in the 12th and 13th centuries. Maybe the treasure was deposited by one of them?

I heard an interview with the historian who found these artefacts yesterday. Apparently there was a lot of quarrel that Friesland had with the state government down in Holland which resulted in many small scale battles and fights over the years. Since there weren’t banks at the time people that wanted to secure their stuff from being raided would bury it.
