Lead and iron fishing lure. Plano-convex casting representing a beetle with eyes, wing case and abdomen modelled, and with the bent stub of an iron hook or pin embedded in its flat underside on the centre line, a little towards the tail. The form of the object enabled it to spin as it was drawn through water, and the low relief detail on the convex face was intended to set up vibrations to entice fish such as salmon or pike - its 'realistic' appearance would be of more significance to the fisherman than to his prey. If successful, the object would function as a gorge, to stick crosswa…

Broad period: MODERN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast lead-alloy weight, probably home-made/unofficial, dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1600-1800. The reverse is plain and shows that the weight was roughly cast whilst the obverse displays lettering withing two concentric circles. It is mirror-writing and it is not possible to make out the writing in the outer circle. However, the central writing reads '[1/2]lb'. It is very similar to two lead weights recorded under LANCUM-1440E4 and LANCUM-0FA5A3. The artefact is incomplete due to old breaks. Dimensions: Diameter: 36.05mm, thickness: 3…

Object type: FINGER RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Published
An incomplete, broken and mis-shapen silver finger ring of very modern date (1910-1945 AD) relating directly to the Second World War. The ring fragment comprises the bezel and both shoulders; the hoop is lost, and the fragment is distorted by being squashed. The hoop was D-shaped in cross-section, flaring at the shoulders to form an oval decorated bezel. The bezel is inlaid with an enamelled design consisting of a centrally positioned cross pattee, the interior of which is recessed and filled with black enamel. The cross is enclosed within an oval border, and the spaces between the…

Object type: COIN
Broad period: MODERN
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Published
A copper alloy (bronze) farthing of George V. The coin has been pierced to form a pendant for suspension, possibly on a necklace or more likely on a fob watch. Further, the coin has been deliberately drilled, cut and filed to create a profile of the king. This work is very fine and the filing is extraordinarily neat, following the profile of the face and back of the head as well as the internal line which divides the inscription from the field. This design completely ignores the reverse of Britannia seated. The date of the coin (191[?]) and the wear suggests that it had been in circul…

Object type: RING
Broad period: MODERN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Three iron rings of probably Post-Medieval to Modern date, with a combined total weight of 16.39g. They are circular in form and oval shaped in section, each of them with an oval shaped casting sprue at the cente of the outer edge. These rings are likely to date to the later Post-Medieval to Modern periods (c.17th-19th centuries AD if not later), although given the findspot an earlier date range cannot be ruled out entirely. All three rings have worn surfaces and measure: 1) 19.05mm in diameter, 4.98mm in thickness, and 5.75g in weight. 2) 18.47mm in diameter, 4.87mm in thickne…

Record ID: LIN-6A3A70
Object type: POWDER FLASK
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A half-rounded lead vessel, probably a post-medieval powder flask. The flask has lip which steps out from the vessel wall. This object was found along with six lead bullets (LIN-6A7411) and a metal badge that probably refers to the regiment (LIN-6ACA37). The finder suggests that this site was a rifle range for the Loyal Lincolnshire Yeomanry (1794-1828). Peter Hart kindly suggests that this could be a liner for a cartridge box. The cartridges would be paper wrapped in a cylindrical form and contain the powder change and the bullet.

County: Surrey
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A largely complete wrought iron eel spear. The spear has five barbed blades of which the outer pair are integral with the socketed handle. The remaining three blades are separate pieces which are riveted to the curve which forms the outer blades. A separate curving flat iron bar is rivetted across all five blades to bind them together. Remains of a wooden handle survive and this is held on to the socket by a nut and bolt. The upper part of the handle socket is broken and missing. The spear is likely to be later 19th century in date.

Broad period: MODERN
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Hollow-cast silver spherical spacer bead, or possible pinhead, of relatively modern (later Victorian) date (1850 - 1920). The bead is irregular due to crushing and damage in the plough soil. Two small holes are present; one at either end (internal diameter 1.7mm), presumable to allow the bead to be threaded on a wire. The bead is decorated with a series of wire filigree / cast cells on its body which are inlaid with coloured glass, paste and / or enamel. The overall design is complicated and irregular due to damage. It seems to be based upon a series of repeating patterns arranged in …
