Boy unearths treasure of the Danish king Bluetooth in Germany

Discovery by a 13-year-old and an amateur archaeologist leads to hoard linked to king who brought Christianity to Denmark

A 13-year-old boy and an amateur archaeologist have unearthed a "significant" trove in Germany which may have belonged to the Danish king Harald Bluetooth who brought Christianity to Denmark.

Reni(C) Schin and his student Luca Malaschnitschenko were looking for treasure using metal detectors in January on northern Ri1/4gen island when they chanced upon what they initially thought was a worthless piece of aluminium.
