Woman Just Stumbled Across TWO Extraordinary Archaeological Finds At Once

Archaeologists in Denmark struck silver not once but twice late last year, when a metal detectorist happened upon two troves of Viking treasure seemingly buried just 100 feet (30m) apart. Probably buried beneath now long-gone buildings and since dispersed by farm machinery, the two hoards were found in a field on the Jutland peninsula and could have been buried by the same person but split up for safekeeping. Totaling 300 pieces of silver, the haul includes around 50 coins from Germanic and Arabic countries, plus parts of a large, elaborate silver brooch. The brooch would not have been worn by locals at the time, so was probably seized in a raid and cut into tradeable pieces.
