COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Danish museum officials say that an archaeological dig last year has revealed 365 items from the Viking era, including 60 rare coins.
Danish National Museum spokesman Jens Christian Moesgaard says the coins have a distinctive cross motif attributed to Norse King Harald Bluetooth, who is believed to have brought Christianity to Norway and Denmark.
Sixteen-year-old Michael Stokbro Larsen found the coins and other items with a metal detector in a field in northern Denmark.

WOW! I would love to have found those coins.
About 20 years ago, on a trip to Denmark we were visiting a castle near Copenhagen. I am an avid arrowhead collector and always watch the ground when I walk outdoors. We were strolling around the grounds of the castle and I found a flint tool, very much like the ones I have found in south Texas.

Still have it?
Yes I still have it....... someplace. That means it probably got mixed in with a box of south Texas arrowheads and flint tools. I still remember what it looked like and I will make an effort to find it.
Good. I’m interested.
I always wondered where all those lost jacket buttons ended up. Maybe someone will discover where all the orphan socks go—guess they’ll be harder to find since a metal detector is no good..........
