The Lost Treasure of Ivar Bloodaxe - Can YOU Find It?

Legend has it that the fierce Viking warrior, Ivar Bloodaxe, pillaged and plundered his way through the local villages 1100 years ago, amassing a small fortune in ill-gotten gains. But his reign of terror was cut short when he was driven off by a Saxon army, leaving his loot hidden in an unmarked location. Decades later, when the Staffordshire Hoard was unearthed, archaeologists were surprised to find an odd-looking map among the treasures. Could it be a clue to Ivar's lost stash?
