Oh man, if I had a nickel for every time some old farmer asked me if I was looking for runestones when out surveying in central Minnesota. I tell myself they’re just joking around, but there are a lot of true believers around here, so you never know.

Minnesotan here, Dad’s family were Swedish farmers. Yep, they’d tell ya how 'dem Vikins was here a way before Columbus or any a 'dem guys.
I had never heard of this before! Very thorough read, thank you for sharing.
