Rare Danish gold treasure! 🇩🇰 #metaldetecting
Detectorist near Randers found a unique 1711 1 Skilling Danske struck in #gold.
Until now this type was only known in #silver.
A real #numismatic gem!

@Sagnamadr Temple rings of this type are quite common in Cossack hoards. They were most likely made in the Cossack era, but clearly modeled after Kyivan Rus jewelry styles.
Insane Cossack-era treasure from Ukraine! 🇺🇦 #metaldetecting
A sealed jug contained #silver rings, jewelry, and even a well-preserved leather belt.
The sealed pot kept everything in amazing condition. Real time capsule 💍⚔️🇺🇦
@summerchildish This is not my find. I saw it in one of the Ukrainian metal detecting groups.
Unfortunately I don’t know what happened to this hoard later.
But knowing the situation in Ukraine, it most likely ended up in a private collection.
Scythian zoo from Moldova 🇲🇩 🐺🐎🐍 #metaldetecting
Beautiful collection of zoomorphic horse harness plaques dug by a detectorist.
Pure #Scythian animal-style art at its finest.
Small but very nice #silver hoard from Ukraine! 🇺🇦#metaldetecting
Detectorist found a stash of 17th-century silver #coins in the forest, including a cool Moscowian Efimok - counterstamped taler.
Pleasant forest find 💰
A Lithuanian farmer discovered a church bell buried for 82 years while working his field.
Cast in 1908, locals buried it in 1942 to protect it from Soviet forces who melted church bells into weapons. It came out of the ground perfectly preserved.
Not #metaldetecting and not #treasurehunting… but still a real treasure 🔥
Jackson Pollock’s ‘Number 7A, 1948’ just sold at Christie’s for a insane $181 million.
Sometimes the biggest treasures aren’t in the ground at all 🎨💰

UK 🇬🇧 detectorist Mike Thomas found this solid Roman #gold bracelet!
Most likely not just jewelry, but a Roman military award -- armilla. These were given to soldiers for bravery.
Around 2 oz of gold. Serious #metaldetecting#find.
