Danish archaeologists say they have found a well-preserved Viking shield that is more than 1,000 years old.

Archaeologist Kirsten Christensen says the wooden shield has a diameter of 32 inches. It was found Tuesday during excavations near Viking-age castles, some 60 miles west of Copenhagen.

That was Lief Erikson's shield but nobody wants to say so because they don't believe it. But you can tell by the tiny inscription in the lower right corner: "Kilroy Lief Erikson was here."
