It's not the largest find in Denmark, but certainly the 4th-6th century gold items (including gold Roman medallions) would make it one of the oldest.

The oldest reference found to Odin on gold jewellery.

In Denmark, a young girl with a metal detector has uncovered rare Viking coins.

Pieces of jewellery originating from Scotland or Ireland were also found.(Supplied: North Jutland Museum)

"The silver coins were found about eight kilometres from the Fyrkat Viking ring fort near the town of Hobro.

From their inscriptions, they are believed to date back to the 980s.

The trove includes Danish, Arab and Germanic coins as well as pieces of jewellery originating from Scotland or Ireland, according to archaeologists."
