A small droplet of gold, with some scratching and pitting on either surface. The droplet is roughly sub-rectangular with a D-shaped cross section. Although the item appears to be of gold, without contextual association it cannot be securely dated to a particular era and therefore does not qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the 1996 Act.
