Lead alloy coin. An unusual variant of sceat; perhaps associated with the manufacture and distribution of fake Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon coins. These are thought to be made in the Grimsby area and are distributed in areas frequented by metal-detector users across northern parts of Lincolnshire. A circular flan of diameter 10.6mm, from its reverse cast onto a smooth flat surface, appears to have been struck by a smaller die with a protruding outer edge, forming a uniface 'coin' of diameter 8.6mm standing proud of the flan.

A rectangular impression in the lower end of the pommel measures 7.7mm by 4.7mm, where the tang of a blade was lodged; a similar rebate, partly burred over, lies adjacent, so pommel and hilt were presumably adjusted at some time. Though lead is apt to function as a counterweight, finishing is crude with prominent mould lines. The weapon whence this derives may have been of low or 'ammunition' quality.

Lead Alloy toy gun fragment, as identified by the finder. Cast fragment from the decorated barrel of a toy gun, with curvilinear scrolls above a billeted zone which may represent a spring; a finished edge here may indicate an edge of a slot for a trigger mechanism. The decoration may be a popular interpretation of a Mexican style, as figured in Western movies at the cinema in the first half of the 20th century. It probably pre-dates or post-dates wartime and post-war austerity (circa 1940-1950) when metals were reserved for essential purposes, and pre-dates more rigorous control of th…

Lead alloy dental cast. A casting taken from an impression of an adult's teeth and palate. The front teeth were clearly in an advanced state of decay and many teeth had been lost.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Lead Alloy and Iron. Oval buckle with bevelled frame retaining corroded traces of an iron or steel on its central bar. In profile the buckle curves back from the central bar, which may suggest a function as a shoe buckle. It is uncertain whether the central mass of corrosion may indicate a central bar strengthened with iron, an iron pin, or both. Suggested date: Late Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1400-1650. Length: 30.5mm, Height: 24.1mm, Thickness (frame): 1.8mm, Weight: 7.00gms

Lead Alloy. Button. Cast plano-convex discoid button with integrally cast loop, now bent back behind the button. A series of slight impressions on the convex display face which hint at a rhomboid arrangement may either be decoration, or perhaps derive from a fabric covering of which no other trace remains.

Lead alloy Mount. Cast circular mount with a border of large pellets around a lightly scalloped edge; a central roundel formed of further pellets surrounds a ragged central aperture of diameter 8mm. Two robust integral pins appear on the reverse, where the outer border detail appears in reverse. The object is bent as if roughly and partially folded. A further element found on a different occasion at the same place is credibly suggested by the finder to form a central boss for the mount, and may indeed have been dislodged by the folding of the larger fragment. This latter element is …

: Lead alloy, painted Toy Sheep. Hollow cast model of a seated sheep, probably at 1:54 or a slightly larger scale. Hollow cast farm animals were produced in England before the First World War and remained popular thereafter until plastic toys displaced metal.

Lead alloy Toy gun. Cast barrel with slot and rebate for a trigger mechanism, and with a plug at one end bearing a circular moulded aperture of 4mm diameter; a rod probably passed through the aperture as part of a plunger mechanism or one using a fixed spring.

Lead alloy pilgrim badge fragment. Cast discoid badge with openwork border comprising a cabled circumference separated from the central plate by a series of pellets of which three remain. A mould line runs across the back. The central plate depicts the bearded face of Christ in low relief, as this image was captured on the cloth with which Veronica, a woman of Jerusalem, wiped His face as He carried the Cross to Calvary. This relic, known as the Vernicle in England, was paraded in Rome from 1208 annually, and from the 14th century was exhibited there weekly. By 1450 its cult was very …

Probably Lead alloy Possible mount fragment. Cast rectangular plate with crude interlace limited by a border running parallel to the opposite edge; interlace may continue beyond this internal border, though the rest of the object is lost. The finder suggests an identification as a brooch, and the decoration does indeed resemble that of cheap lead alloy metalwork for the less discerning Viking Age patron. However, such brooch forms tend to the curvilinear rather than rectilinear, while the construction is rather crude and massy for an earlier Anglo-Saxon brooch. An alternative identi…

Lead alloy Spangle. Cast ampulla shaped spangle, with two apertures of diameter 1.8mm at the top. Rather than the cross-hatched design which is common on such objects, this bears a cross pommee over a dot and two semicircles within a linear and then a beaded frame. A central dot and outer rim in relief appear crisply on the back. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1300. Height: 13.5mm, Width/Diameter: 9.5mm, Thickness: 1.1mm, Weight: 0.57gms.

Lead and iron fishing lure. Plano-convex casting representing a beetle with eyes, wing case and abdomen modelled, and with the bent stub of an iron hook or pin embedded in its flat underside on the centre line, a little towards the tail. The form of the object enabled it to spin as it was drawn through water, and the low relief detail on the convex face was intended to set up vibrations to entice fish such as salmon or pike - its 'realistic' appearance would be of more significance to the fisherman than to his prey. If successful, the object would function as a gorge, to stick crosswa…
