A hoard of Medieval treasure, consisting of gold and silver jewelry and coins, was unearthed in the Netherlands.

Believe it or not, these extraordinarily rare pieces were not discovered by professionals, but by a historian and a metal detectorist.

This treasure of 1,000-year-old Viking silver was found at Täby, Viggbyholm, just outside of Stockholm. The set was discovered under a building’s former wooden floor, which could have been constructed around 400 AD. Found among other items, this unique treasure hoard consisted of arm rings, coins, and necklaces.

This treasure discovery was made by coincidence using a metal detector in Stjørdal, Norway. The whole trove, made up of silver fragments, consisted of 46 objects, including coins and jewelry. The treasure is dated to be from about 1,100 years ago.

An ornate gold necklace was discovered at a burial site in the U.K. It is said to be more than 1,300 years old, and has details that give more insight into the traditional designs and artistic craftsmanship during that Medieval time period.

This 1,600-year-old unique gold bead was discovered in Jerusalem. It is believed to have been made using an intricate 4,500-year-old production technique from ancient times, and is extremely rare as it is very unusual to find gold during these types of excavations.

Many carved gemstones, including amethyst, jasper, and carnelian, were found in the drain of a Roman bathhouse. They were likely to have fallen off wealthy bathers who attended the bathhouse more than 2,000 years ago. A total of 34 of these gemstones were found amongst other items like hairpins, beads, and coins.

In a southern Egyptian cemetery, a mummy of an ancient Egyptian teenager was found. It is believed that the mummy was buried about 2,300 years ago with a total of 49 amulets and jewels to guide him through the afterlife. However, computed tomography and 3D printing technology were utilized to take a closer look at the mummy’s jewels rather than disturb the remains.

An ancient tomb was discovered in Armenia and is believed to date from the late Bronze Age, around 1,300 B.C.E. The grave was filled with gold pendants and beads made of amber and carnelian. Amongst the cemetery with about 100 graves, this particular tomb contained the remains of a man and a woman who appeared to be buried at the same time, also wearing jewelry made of bronze and tin.

Jewelry, believed to be more than 3,300 years old, was discovered in an ancient burial ground on the eastern bank of the Nile River. The buried young woman was found with a beaded gold necklace and rings made of gold and soapstone.

Last, but not least, we have one of the oldest Neolithic pieces of jewelry, discovered in the grave of an eight-year-old girl. The piece found was a necklace consisting of 2,500 colorful elements: amber beads, a stone pendant, and an engraved mother-of-pearl ring. The necklace was found worn around the child’s neck, with which she was buried when she died at a very young age.
