The sides widen and thicken slightly towards the back, from 5.4mm by 4.4mm to 7.9mm by 6.2mm. There is no crest.

Record ID: SUR-9162D1
Object type: EEL SPEAR
Broad period: MODERN
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.

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…
