Amateur metal detectorists uncover rare Viking coin hoard in Denmark.
A group of amateur archaeologists on a metal-detector holiday in Denmark discovered a Viking silver hoard of over 300 items, including coins, silver balls, and a ring pin. The find dates back to the 900s and is linked to King Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson, who united Denmark and Norway. The hoard will be displayed at the Nordjyske Museer in Aalborg before going to the National History Museum in Copenhagen. Archaeologists will investigate the site further, hoping to find the remains of a large Viking hall.
