Norwegian Man Buys Metal Detector, Discovers 'Gold Find Of The Century' Dating to The Migration Age

Erlend Bore found nine pendants, three rings and 10 gold pearls on a southern Norwegian island in what was described as the gold find of the century.

Buried around 500 A.D. when Norway was ruled by rival kings and the Roman Empire had not long collapsed, the museum’s experts believe the intricate craftmanship shown in the gold suggests the jewelry was made in a nearby workshop controlled by political and religious elites that may have held sway over much of southern Norway.

The motifs on the jewelry are unusual and have excited archaeologists. The 1,000 bracteates found in Scandinavia typically show the Norse god Odin healing the sick horse of his son, Balder — but the new pieces show just a horse, an image with important cultural symbolism in pre-Christian Norway.

"... the horse symbol represented illness and distress, but at the same time hope for healing and new life."
