Lead alloy coin. A probably modern forgery of a late Iron Age coin whose details would appear to be drawn from the uninscribed gold coinages of the Corieltauvi. It does not resemble the silver units of that tribe. Some examples have been found with a coating of gold paint, perhaps here lost to erosion in a coastal find-spot. The distribution of these objects appears to be skewed towards sites frequented by metal detectorists, and these may represent the ‘salting’ of sites by rival collectors, whether in jest or malice. A ‘mint’ in the Grimsby area is suspected. …

Lead alloy possible coin forgery. A flat pellet of solidified and inflexible lead melt, flat on one side but with a concave oval impression suggesting a grid-like pattern; patinated. This might be a fragment of debris from the casting of lead which has come into contact with textile while still fluid, which could only be dated to between the Roman and Post-Medieval periods. However, the northern part of Lincolnshire has also seen the frequent discovery of modern lead alloy forgeries intended to resemble Iron Age and Early Medieval coins. These have been produced in various ways,…
