Copper alloy possible anti-aircraft shell fragment. A shard from the slightly everted rim of a cylindrical object vessel of estimated diameter 80mm with iron staining at the top; shattered at either side and along its lower edge. The pattern of catastrophic damage might point to a shard from an exploded anti-aircraft shell, which would be consistent with its suspected diameter. The iron staining may alternatively indicate this object had a place in an assembly of iron or steel parts intimately associated with or enclosed by a thick [5.5mm] copper alloy casing – a definition which…

White metal ingot. A cast oval fragment of dense bright white metal which has been tightly rolled, hammered to round-ended cylindrical form and subsequently indented. Similar objects have been submitted to the Treasure process in the past as potential silver ingots, though they have frequently been considered of recent date by early medieval period specialists based at the British Museum, either with or without the identification of the material by laboratory investigation. The mass of the object does not coincide closely with that of a series of weights – derived from the Scandi…

Lead alloy button copy. Cast plano-convex uniform button front bearing a Crown Imperial above a bugle with the number 20 between these features, and with a now-crescentic basal legend which probably extended round the button retaining the letters [--]TEERS [--]. This would seem to be the relict of the word Volunteers. There is no trace of a loop or its loss on a featureless smooth back. This is probably a casting taken from a 19th-century military uniform button. What is described above may suggest this to be from the periods of recruitment of volunteer or yeomanry regiments to defend …
