(FOXNEWS) – Around 300 pieces of silver from two Viking treasures,
with approximately 50 whole coins, were found last fall in a Danish
field at Bramslev.
The coins were located around fives miles away from the Viking
castle Fyrkat, and date back to more than a thousand years ago.
The treasures were found less than 164 feet apart, containing
the coins and cut-up silver jewelry.
North Jutland Museums said in a statement that the treasures
probably served as a means of payment by weight.
The rare trove was reportedly unearthed by a young girl with
a metal detector.
