BERLIN — Hundreds of 1,000-year-old silver coins, rings, pearls and bracelets linked to the era of Danish King Harald Gormsson have been found on the eastern German island of Ruegen in the Baltic Sea.
A single silver coin was first found in January by two amateur archaeologists, one of them a 13-year-old boy, in a field near the village of Schaprode. The state archaeology office then became involved and the entire treasure was uncovered by experts over the weekend, the Mecklenburg-West Pomerania state archaeology office said Monday.
“It’s the biggest trove of such coins in the southeastern Baltic region,” the statement said.
The office said the two amateur archeologists were asked to keep quiet about their discovery to give professionals time to plan the dig and were then invited to participate in the recovery.
“This was the (biggest) discovery of my life,” hobby archaeologist Rene Schoen told the German news agency dpa.
Schoen said he and 13-year-old Luca Malaschnitschenko were using metal detectors on the field near Schaprode when Luca found a little piece that he initially thought was only aluminum garbage. But when they cleaned it, they understood it was more precious.
Archaeologists said about 100 of the silver coins are probably from the reign of Harald Gormsson, better known as “Harald Bluetooth,” who lived in the 10th century and introduced Christianity to Denmark.
He was one of the last Viking kings of what is now Denmark, northern Germany, southern Sweden and parts of Norway.
His nickname came from the fact he had a dead tooth that looked bluish, but it’s now best known for the wireless Bluetooth technology invented by Swedish telecom company Ericsson. The company named the technology, developed to wirelessly unite computers with cellular devices, after him for his ability to unite ancient Scandinavia.

Arqueólogos encontram tesouros de prata na ilha alemã do Báltico.
BERLIM (Reuters) - Centenas de moedas, anéis, pérolas e pulseiras de prata com 1.000 anos de idade, ligadas à era do rei dinamarquês Harald Gormsson, foram encontradas na ilha de Ruegen, no leste do Mar Báltico.
Uma única moeda de prata foi encontrada pela primeira vez em janeiro por dois arqueólogos amadores, um deles um menino de 13 anos, em um campo perto da vila de Schaprode. O departamento de arqueologia estadual então se envolveu e todo o tesouro foi descoberto por especialistas no fim de semana, informou o escritório de arqueologia estadual de Mecklenburg-West Pomerania na segunda-feira.
"É o maior tesouro de tais moedas na região do Báltico, no sudeste", disse o comunicado.
O escritório disse que os dois arqueólogos amadores foram solicitados a ficarem quietos sobre sua descoberta para dar tempo aos profissionais de planejar a escavação e foram convidados a participar da recuperação.
"Essa foi a (maior) descoberta da minha vida", disse o arqueólogo de passatempo Rene Schoen à agência de notícias alemã DPA.
Schoen disse que ele e Luca Malaschnitschenko, de 13 anos, estavam usando detectores de metal no campo perto de Schaprode, quando Luca encontrou um pedacinho que inicialmente achava ser apenas lixo de alumínio. Mas quando eles limparam, eles entenderam que era mais precioso.
Arqueólogos disseram que cerca de 100 moedas de prata são provavelmente do reinado de Harald Gormsson, mais conhecido como "Harald Bluetooth", que viveu no século 10 e introduziu o cristianismo na Dinamarca.
Ele foi um dos últimos reis Vikings do que hoje é a Dinamarca, o norte da Alemanha, o sul da Suécia e partes da Noruega.
Seu apelido veio do fato de que ele tinha um dente morto que parecia azulado, mas agora é mais conhecido pela tecnologia sem fio Bluetooth inventada pela empresa de telecomunicações sueca Ericsson. A empresa nomeou a tecnologia, desenvolvida para conectar sem fio computadores com dispositivos celulares, depois dele por sua capacidade de unir a antiga Escandinávia.
O logotipo da tecnologia traz as letras rúnicas para suas iniciais HB.

Archäologen finden Silberschatz auf der deutschen Ostseeinsel.
BERLIN - Hunderte von 1000-jährigen Silbermünzen, Ringen, Perlen und Armbändern im Zusammenhang mit der Ära des dänischen Königs Harald Gormsson wurden auf der ostdeutschen Insel Rügen in der Ostsee gefunden.Eine einzige Silbermünze wurde erstmals im Januar von zwei Amateur-Archäologen, einer davon ein 13-jähriger Junge, auf einem Feld in der Nähe des Dorfes Schaprode gefunden. Das staatliche Archäologiebüro wurde dann beteiligt und der gesamte Schatz wurde am Wochenende von Experten entdeckt, teilte das Landesarchäologieamt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am Montag mit."Es ist der größte Fund solcher Münzen im südöstlichen Ostseeraum", heißt es in der Erklärung.Das Büro sagte, dass die zwei Amateurarchäologen gebeten wurden, über ihre Entdeckung still zu bleiben, um Fachleuten Zeit zu geben, die Ausgrabung zu planen und wurden dann eingeladen, an der Wiederaufnahme teilzunehmen."Das war die (größte) Entdeckung meines Lebens", sagte Hobby-Archäologe Rene Schoen der deutschen Nachrichtenagentur dpa.Schoen sagte, er und der 13-jährige Luca Malaschnitschenko hätten Metalldetektoren auf dem Feld in der Nähe von Schaprode benutzt, als Luca ein kleines Stück fand, das er zunächst für Aluminiummüll hielt. Aber als sie es säuberten, verstanden sie, dass es wertvoller war.Archäologen sagen, dass etwa 100 der Silbermünzen wahrscheinlich aus der Regierungszeit von Harald Gormsson stammen, besser bekannt als "Harald Bluetooth", der im 10. Jahrhundert lebte und das Christentum in Dänemark einführte.Er war einer der letzten Wikinger-Könige von Dänemark, Norddeutschland, Südschweden und Teilen von Norwegen.Sein Spitzname kam von der Tatsache, dass er einen toten Zahn hatte, der bläulich aussah, aber er ist jetzt am bekanntesten für die drahtlose Bluetooth-Technologie, die vom schwedischen Telekommunikationsunternehmen Ericsson erfunden wurde. Die Firma nannte die Technologie, die entwickelt wurde, um Computer drahtlos mit zellularen Geräten zu vereinen, nach ihm für seine Fähigkeit, altes Skandinavien zu vereinigen.Das Technologielogo trägt die Runenbuchstaben für seine Initialen HB.
