The Raasiku silver hoard at Linnakse
Somebody in the Viking Age buried a fortune at Linnakse village in Anija parish and never came back for it. An archaeology enthusiast found the hoard in 2010. He did the right thing. He left the treasure in the ground and reported it to the National Heritage Board. Archaeologists lifted 1,329 silver coins and nine silver objects. The find became known as the Raasiku treasure. In 2011 the finder received a reward of 99,063 euros, the largest finder's fee reported in Estonia. The silver was lifted by archaeologists, not by the finder. Who hid it, and why, the coins cannot tell.

Keegi viikingiajal mattis Anija vallas Linnakse külas maa sisse varanduse ega tulnud seda kunagi tagasi võtma. Arheoloogiahuviline leidis aarde 2010. aastal. Ta talitas õigesti. Ta jättis aarde maasse ja teatas leiust Muinsuskaitseametile. Arheoloogid võtsid välja 1329 hõbemünti ja üheksa hõbeeset. Leid sai tuntuks Raasiku aardena. 2011. aastal sai leidja 99 063 eurot leiutasu, mis on Eestis teadaolevalt suurim. Hõbeda võtsid maast välja arheoloogid, mitte leidja. Kes selle peitis ja miks, seda mündid ei räägi.
