I 1892 blev der ved Horne, nord for Varde, fundet to dragtspænder og en armring af guld. Alle fundene er dateret til vikingetiden og specielt de cirkulære spænder er noget af det fedeste der nogensinde er fundet.

#Viking silver broad-band armring from Blackerne, D&G, SW Scotland.
Possibly a Southern Scandinavian 'prototype' version that was developed into the larger Hiberno-Scandinavian type seen in the Galloway Hoard.
Deposited c. AD 900, it was found with an amber bead in a (cairn) cist burial.

A broad-band silver armring with stamped decoration from the Galloway Hoard, deposited c. AD 900.
Likely beaten out of silver ingots, they were produced, seemingly, in Hiberno-Scandinavian / Great Army contexts c. 870x930, following a 'prototype' form developed in Danish southern Scandinavia.
