Archaeologists in Norway have discovered a Viking Age treasure that had remained “untouched” for more than 1,000 years.

The four silver bracelets had been buried nearly 8 inches (20 centimeters) in the ground on a mountainside in Årdal, a village in southwestern Norway, according to a translated statement from the University of Stavanger.

“This is definitely the biggest thing I have experienced in my career,” Volker Demuth, an archaeologist and project manager at the Archaeological Museum at the University of Stavanger, said in the statement.
