A gold object, probably a distorted finger ring of uncertain date.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/p>\n\n
Curator's report: A strip of bright yellow pitted gold that has been bent six times forming three rough (un-unintended) loops. The edges of some sections appear to have been worked, being slightly rounded.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/p>\n\n
Discussion: This strip of gold is long enough to have fitted round a small finger but there are no diagnostic features that could provide a date.<\/p>
\n<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/p>\n\n
Conclusion: Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it can not be securely dated to pre-1708 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996<\/p>
