At first, the Norwegian man thought his metal detector reacted to chocolate money buried in the soil. It turned out to be nine pendants, three rings and 10 gold pearls in what was described as the country’s gold find of the century.
The rare find was made this summer by 51-year-old Erlend Bore on the southern island of Rennesoey, near the city of Stavanger. Bore had bought his first metal detector earlier this year to have a hobby after his doctor ordered him to get out instead of sitting on the couch.
“At first I thought it was chocolate coins or Captain Sabertooth coins,” said 51-year-old Erlend Bore, referring to a fictional Norwegian pirate. “It was totally unreal.”
I know what your thinking, but just stop. This won’t happen to you. You’ll just get all sore and sweaty from walking around. Maybe even sunburned. Return to the couch like the good lord intended.
This, but with “you’re” used correctly.
I went metal detecting in my back yard once. I found a rusty spoon and a 12" length of pipe!
I also went on an old farm and found half an ox shoe. Neat!
I didn’t know they made shoes for half-oxes.
Thats just two less shoes than for a complete ox.
It’s more likely two fewer.
Technically fewer shoes are also less shoes (at leastif I translate to my language lol)
No, shoes are countable, so it’s “fewer.”
I don’t want to get off the couch either, but I’m sure he was thinking the same thing.
