After he was encouraged by his doctor to become more active earlier this year, Erlend Bore Purchased his first metal detector. The 51-year-old Norwegian man began his Journey on the Norwegian island of Rennesoy where he quickly stumbled across the bounty.
Initially, he thought he had dug up some old chocolate coins only to be very pleasantly surprised with his discovery.

| Two Small Forks. |
I don't know why these forks are so small, but they are. Can you tell which is the most valuable?

Below is the one-year chart of silver, which closed at about $24.69/oz.
The little sterling fork weights .517 oz. troy, so it is worth about 11.8 dollars according to my calculations.

Good hunting,
