Ved et grustak på Gimse i Melhus kommune ble det gjort et rikt gravfunn i 1945. NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet ble varslet og det viser seg at i en haug på ca. 20 meter og en høyde på ca. 1,5 meter, lå det som skulle vise seg å være fire mannsringer fra yngre romertid (200 - 400 år e. Kr.). Tre av ringene var i gull og en ring var i sølvblandet gull. Ringene hadde en vekt fra 9,4 til 1,3 gram. Haugen de var funnet i viser seg å være en gravhaug. Trolig ble en kvinne gravlagt her i den slutten av 300-tallet. Funn av gull omkring Melhus er ikke unikt, og senest 7. september 2014 ble det funnet enda en gullring på nabogården. Arkeologiprofessor Lars Stenvik ved museet, ser disse funnene i sammenheng med den store produksjon av jern i utmark og fjellområder rundt Melhus. Gaula var farbar opp til Gimse, og mye av jernet kunne skipes ut nettopp her. Elva skapte dermed et knutepunkt for handel og transport noe som gjorde til at store verdier kunne skapes og mektige høvdinger kunne slå seg opp. Det var neppe tilfeldig at Einar Tambarskjelve (ca. 980 – 1050), en av trøndernes rikeste og mektigste høvdinger, og svigersønn til Håkon Jarl, bodde nettopp her noen hundre år senere. In a gravel deposit at Gimse in Melhus municipality, it was made a rich gold discovery in 1945. NTNU University Museum was notified and in an almost 20 meter longand 1,5 meters tall mound they found 4 rings for men from early Roman Iron Age (200 – 400 years A.D.) . Three of the rings was made of gold, while one ring was a mix of silver and gold. The rings weighed from 9,4 to 1,3 grams. The mound they were discovered in appears to be a burial mound. Presumably a woman was buried there in the end of the 300s. Finding gold in the vicinity of Melhus Municipality is not unique and as recent as 7th of September, 2014 it was found a golden ring on the neighboring farm. Lars Steinvik, Professor of Archeology at the NTNU University Museum, connects the findings to a large production of iron in the mountain areas and the outfields surrounding Melhus. The river, Gaula was passable up to Gimse, and much of the iron could be shipped out exactly here. The river thus enabled an assemblage point between production and transportation, which made it possible for large values to be created. Powerful chiefs emerged in this area, and it is unlikely a coincidence that one of the most rich and powerful chiefs in Trøndelag, Einar Tambarskjelve (ca 980 – 1050), son-in-law of Håkon Jarl, lived precisely here a couple of hundred years later.
