Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A silver button or pin head made of strands of silver wire in a basket weave pattern, forming a spherical knob. There are 5 or 6 strands of wire in each band. This object was found on a site which has produced many Early Medieval finds, but this object is more likely to be a Post Medieval to Modern small button or hatpin head. It can be compared to Portable Antiquities Scheme records: SF-ECD665, a finger ring, LANCUM-D87896, a fitting, and KENT-A512A4, a woven ferrule. This is probably Victorian. As it is likely not to be 300 years old, the object does not fall under the rules of t…

Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified object which is probably modern and made of a light white metal, probably aluminium. It is square in section, bent into a loop, and has nicks across the corners. This object was found on a site which has produced a lot of Early Medieval finds, and was originally mistaken for Viking hack silver, but the material is clearly not silver. It therefore does not fall under the 1996 Treasure Act.
