5 days agoViking gold bangle hoard found in Denmark
Six Viking Age gold bracelets were found in northeastern Jutland, Denmark, dating to ca. 900–1000 A.D., making a rare elite hoard.
A French homeowner has unearthed a staggering 700,000 ($800,000) fortune in gold bars and coins while excavating for a new swimming pool in his garden, local officials have confirmed. The unnamed individual stumbled upon the valuable hoard at his property in Neuville-sur-Saone, a town near Lyon, back in May. He promptly reported the discovery to the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs.
