A group of amateur archaeologists in Denmark, called “Team Rainbow Power”, found the largest hoard of ancient Viking gold treasure using metal detectors while searching a field in the city of Vejen in Jutland.

The seven necklaces, six of which are gold and one of which is silver, date back to 900, according to the National Museum of Denmark. Weighing in at around 900g, they are the largest Viking gold hoard ever discovered in Denmark.

Marie Aagaard Larsen, one of the archaeologists, said she found the first necklace after searching the field for about 10 minutes. Larsen, her husband Christian Nedergaard Dreioee and close friend Noergaard Pedersen then discovered more gold necklaces.

After collecting these artifacts, they asked expert Lars Grundvad at the Sønderskov Museum to help them appraise them. Grundvad said that two of the seven necklaces were made in the Jelling style associated with the nobility in Viking society.

Peter Pentz, a Viking expert at the National Museum of Denmark, said the necklaces may have been gifts from Viking kings to loyal subjects or allies. They may have been buried as part of a ritual or buried by someone for safekeeping.
