Yes, Terese Refsgaard may have found some buried treasure from long ago, but scientists, researches, and historians find it to be much more important than that. To them, Refsgaard helped contribute to understanding ancient people and ancient cultures. She helped provide answers to who was communicating with who and why some people did what they did.
Her discovery gave the scholars one of the missing pieces that were once lost but have now given us a deeper understanding of a part of the past. Many questions were answered all thanks to Refsgaard and her metal detector.
Reflecting On Her Story
If Terese Refsgaard’s discovery of some gold pieces on the small island of Hjarnø had such an incredible impact on the way we view history, it puts into perspective how little we actually know. Also, since she found her treasure in a place where no one else was looking, maybe we need to reconsider where we think clues to the past are always located.
We may think we know a lot about the past, but in reality, we probably know much less than we think, but it’s up to researchers and enthusiasts like Refsgaard to help us learn more.
She’s Excited To Share Her Findings
In early 2019, a new exhibit opened in Denmark titled, “Guld & Koas”. Refsgaard’s gold discoveries were featured in the exhibit, and she was elated to be able to display her findings for all to enjoy. Translated into English, Refsgaard posted, “There have been the sweetest and brightest archaeologists from the start to the end.”
