\n Detector and <\/span>
amateur <\/span>
discoveries <\/span> <\/h2>\n

The current temporary exhibition focuses on the collaboration between Museum S\u00f8nderjylland and amateur archaeologists.<\/p>\n

In recent years, interest in metal detecting has grown significantly, and so has the number of finds that serve as puzzle pieces in our shared history.<\/p>\n

In the exhibition, you will meet five passionate detectorists who share their thoughts, experiences, and the motivation behind their hobby. Through their stories and selected finds, you will gain a fascinating insight into their work and the world of metal detecting.<\/p>\n

You can also try using a pin-pointer, metal detector, yourself. A sandbox has been set up in the exhibition, where you might uncover rusty or remarkable finds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
