I found this while working today, from Associated Press Photo:



Caption: A handful of Arabic 10th century silver coins found by brothers Arvid and Edvin Sandborg on the Swedish island of Gotland Oct. 30, 2006. The 1,100 coins, along with several silver bracelets, formed a three kilo (6.6 lbs) Viking treasure trove that the brothers found buried on a neighbor's property last week.

and another image, similar caption:

or he left money behind in payment for something he bought.

Hmmm, what'd he buy? That's quite a stash!

maybe a house with a small farm for Herger to use and Ahmed to go back to once he had finished his poem and made sure it was passed around.

Ooo, good one! Someone should write that. ;)
