Man From Denmark Found Stash of 1,500-Year-Old Gold Jewelry With His Newly Acquired Metal DetectorOle Ginnerup Schytz wanted to test his newly acquired metal detector. Fortunately, his old classmate owned some land, and Schyyz was given permission to test his new toy there. And so he did. But Schytz did not expect what happened next. After only a few hours of walking on the lot, the metal detector reacted to something, and that something turned out to be “one of the greatest gold treasures in Danish history.” Talk about beginner’s luck!The site was subsequently excavated by archaeologists from Vejlemuseerne, in collaboration with experts from the National Museum and with funding from the Agency for Culture and Palaces.Archaeologists now know that the treasure was buried in a longhouse in a village about 1,500 years ago. The studies, and the many samples and data collected, will provide invaluable knowledge about the connections and circumstances that led to the treasure being buried by an Iron Age chieftain.Learn more about this extraordinary archaeological find here.(All Images Credit: VeljeMuseerne)#Archaeology #Treasure #Gold #IronAge
