A young girl in Denmark was using a metal detector in a cornfield when she found not one, but two, hoards of Viking treasure believed to be over 1,000 years old.

Her findings included around 300 Danish, Arab, and Germanic coins and jewelry that archeologists believe to be from either Scotland or Ireland.

The buried treasure is dated to be from 980-990 A.D. Some of the coins depict a cross, which are believed to be from the time of King Harald Bluetooth who is credited with bringing Christianity to Denmark. The coins were found near the site of Bluetooth's Fyrkat castle.

The artifacts will be put on display at the North Jutland Museum. Museum Director Lars Christian Norbach said of the find, "A hoard like this is very rare."

The young girl who found the coins will receive an unspecified financial compensation, and whatever it is, I'm sure it will be more than she anticipated finding when she took her metal detector out to the cornfield that day!
