Awesome loot found.. Just had to share it. There is also much more text in the link, that copy pasted was just a small part of it.


A huge hoard of Iron Age gold artefacts has been uncovered by an amateur metal detectorist in Denmark.
The "enormous" find consists of almost one kilogram of gold buried 1,500 years ago, according to a press release from the Vejlemuseerne museum, which will exhibit the hoard.
Described by the museum as "one of the largest, richest and most beautiful gold treasures in Danish history so far," the hoard was discovered in Vindelev, near the central Danish town of Jelling, by a rookie detectorist called Ole Ginnerup Schytz.


Some experts have suggested the gold was buried to save it during a time of war, but Mr Ravn said the combination of objects suggests it was more likely to have been an offering.
The hoard contains saucer-sized decorated medallions called bracteates, as well as Roman coins that had been fashioned into jewellery.
One of the bracteates is decorated with a male head and a number of runes, as well as a horse and a bird.
A runic inscription on the horse reads "the high one," according to preliminary research, which could refer to the chieftain or the god Odin.
