He went for a walk and discovered some gold bracelets. Over three-quarters of a kilo of Viking gold

On a country lane near the Danish town of Rold, a local resident spotted something glinting. He discovered two gold bracelets that were partially protruding from the ground. He reported the find, and a subsequent metal-detector survey uncovered a further four gold bracelets. They are among the largest Viking gold finds in Denmark. They have now been put on public display.

Silver Hoard: Metal detectorists have found the largest Viking hoard in Norway. More coins are still being discovered

In the spring, two friends using metal detectors discovered 19 silver coins in eastern Norway. They reported the find and, together with archaeologists, spent several weeks excavating thousands more coins. The hoard gradually grew to become Norway’s largest Viking-era coin hoard.

We’ve launched a new full-text search engine called Manticore on Lovci Pokladů, which searches virtually the entire website. Give it a go and let us know if it fails to find something, if the results don’t make sense, or if there’s anything else about it that annoys you.

Extraordinary find using a metal detector 2026/11 – Gryf

A griffin really isn’t something you come across every day on LP, and it’s a truly extraordinary find. This one was taken to the museum just a few days after it was found, and in the article you can read an interview with the lucky finder.

The Minelab Vanquish 360 for 5,590 Kč. This is what your first metal detector should look like

Minelab has significantly reduced the price of the Vanquish 360 model. It is now available for 5,590 Kč including VAT, which is approximately 23 per cent cheaper. This change has been necessitated by the fact that the Vanquish 340 is gradually being phased out (we’ve stocked up in advance and still have around 50 units in stock), and there would otherwise be a sudden gap in this price segment. So, until comes up with a simple single-frequency detector, everyone has the chance to get a Vanquish 360 at a great price. Minelab
