Three members of the Central Jutland Detector Society discovered a cache of 700-year-old coins in a field near the excavation of an Iron Age building. The poor quality and low silver content of the coins are thought to reflect the civil war in Denmark at the time. "The treasure comes from an unstable period, and it is conceivable that the owner wanted to hide them away until better and more stable times. For some unknown reason, he never returned to collect his coins," Viborg Museum curator Mikkel Kjeldsen told The Local, Denmark. The coins will be cleaned and displayed at Viborg Museum.

There was an account of a fellow cutting into the cellar wall in an old house in a small French town and hundreds of coins started falling out from the 1300s—1400s.

If you can recall that do you know any details?

How did they get there? I swear I buried them on Oak Island!

A horde of 700 year-old coins...

Oh for heaven's sake, have these writers never heard of a thesaurus? For example:

A horde of our politicians have whored themselves to acquire and hoard their stolen taxpayer booty.

To make matters worse, the Black Death came to Denmark during this period.
