A Modern silver pendant probably dating to the 20th century. The pendant is a crescent-shaped strip of silver with a lozenge cross-section and a strip is attached for suspension. The strip has reel decoration. Silver pellets decorate the suspension loop and the body, arranged in rows with one on each end of the crescent. The overall shape of the pendant is distorted.<\/p>\n
Tested strongly positive when spot-tested in Museum of London conservation labs.<\/p>\n

A Post Medieval - Modern wood and copper alloy ramrod for a muzzle-loading weapon (1760 - 1880). The shaft is made from wood and tapers from 12.08mm to 8.50mm.

The finder's research notes: if this ramrod is military it will predate 1760, steel replaced wood 1760, if sporting weapon the date will continue to c.1880 (the finder believes this to be the most likely option).
