Viking Runestone Shard
A Canadian soldier took this piece of a Scandinavian artifact from Nazis who had previously looted it from a Norwegian site in 1945. The shard bears faint runes and once marked a chieftain’s grave before war disrupted its history. Its archaeological significance transcends its size. Private collectors have reportedly offered over $100,000 for similar pieces, placing its likely value between $30,000 and $80,000.
