A Norwegian hobbyist with a metal detector discovered several gold pendants that dated back to the Nordic Iron Age. Experts called it the “find of the century.”
Bore, 51, decided to buy a metal detector. He figured trawling the beaches around his home for some of that history would keep him occupied.
Bore, a food safety quality manager, said he has a mind for details and was eager to throw himself into his new hobby after his doctor’s recommendation. He studied the laws governing hobbyist metal-detecting in Norway and made calls to archaeologists and town councils before testing the metal detector in his backyard. When he asked his wife for some gold and silver to practice with, she insisted on choosing the items.
Bore found a lookout on a rocky hill, and his detector reported a strong signal. When he found the items, he rushed back to the farmer’s house to share the news. Bore, the farmer and the farmer’s wife gathered the relics on a plate and took a photo, and Bore called a regional cultural heritage department. The line went quiet as Bore shared the image of his find.
“I felt, 1,500 years ago, somebody was here, and he was frightened to death because the end of the world was approaching, so to say,” Oehrl said. “And he had to hide his gold or even to sacrifice it to the gods.”
