Date of Discovery: 27th March 2011
Circumstances of discovery: Whilst searching with a metal detector at a metal detecting rally

Although the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal, it cannot be securely dated to pre 1711 and as such falls outside the stipulations of the Treasure Act, and as such it is recommended that this is 'Not Treasure'.
