Gold circular band: this band is formed of hammered gold with a rough concave interior, suggesting that it was intended as a mount of some kind, rather than a finger ring. In the absence of any context or distinguishing stylistic features, this item is undatable.

Treasure case 2006 T430
Description
Fragment of gold strip, embossed with four horizontal lines. In one corner there is a piercing, probably deliberate. The long edges have been folded back such that the folded edge appears on the ‘reverse’ side, from which the embossing has been carried out.
Maximum length 30mm; maximum width 17mm; thickness less than 0.5mm; weight 1.21 grams.
Identification
In all likelihood the piece is more than 300 years old. However it is not possible to assign this fragment to a firm cultural or chronological context.
Consequently, in terms o…

A gold object, probably a distorted finger ring of uncertain date.
Curator's report: A strip of bright yellow pitted gold that has been bent six times forming three rough (un-unintended) loops. The edges of some sections appear to have been worked, being slightly rounded.

A gold finger ring of uncertain date. It has a plain circular band that is sub-circular in section with a flat inner edge.

Iron Age coins have been recovered from the same area, and it has been suggested that this piece of gold may have been connected with Iron Age gold working, such as coin production or recycling. However, a similar piece (2004 T408) was determined to be undiagnostic and undatable following metal analysis. As such, although the object has over 10% precious metal content by weight, the undiagnostic nature of the artefact means that it cannot be definitively dated pre1710 and as such…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Published
A thin gold ring shaped object, with ornate spiralled design and oval lilac stone setting. Dark areas indicate that this object could consist of gold leaf over another material. This may not have originally been a finger-ring; the material is extremely thin, too thin to conceivably be used to construct a finger-ring.
It is indicated that the item has been straightened and glued, making identification difficult. The object is not in its original state and so identification in the current condition could be misleading and therefore there is no evidence to date to pre 1711.

A gold fragment is of octagonal section. Each face has an irregular oval panel (16.2mm x 4.3mm, 13.5mm x 4.4mm), which has been formed by hammering the strip. Further hammering on each end of the panels, has resulted in the thinning of the strip and has also caused the strip to widen at these points. The strip may have been deliberately thinned at the ends to facilitate cutting. The thicker of the two ends (2.7mm) displays a number of chop or cut marks on each face, indicating that the strip was deliberately cut at this position.…

Very small, flat, fragment of gold with evidence of hammering, possibly relating to scrapping. Too little survives to be able to make even a tentative identification and its exact age is thus unknown although it is likely to be over 300 years old.
I can confirm that this find contains a minimum of 10 per cent gold. Consequently, it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of both age and precious metal content.

Undated fragment of twisted gold wire, 30mm long,(50mm if unbent) and 3mm in diameter. The object is in good condition with a gold patina and weighs 6.16 grams. The object is circular in section and is twisted to form a rope effect. It has been bent over one third along its length, one end has snapped whilst the other end has been chopped. Analysis carried out at the British Museum by Antony Simpson shows that the object is 82-87% gold, 12-14% silver with the remainder being copper.

A folded fragment of sheet gold strip with a narrower strip threaded through and wrapped. Maximum length 13mm; width of wider strip 6mm; thickness 3mm as folded; width of narrow strip 2.5mm; weight 1.43 grams. Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface indicated a gold content for both of 86-89%, a silver content of 8-10% and at least 1% copper. Though the analysis does not rule out an ancient date, the piece is an undiagnostic fragment which cannot be assigned to a cultural or chronological context. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it can not be securely date…

Description: A small gold fragment now roughly rectangular in shape. Two of the opposing edges of the fragment are incomplete due to old breaks and the other two are complete but folded backwards to lie flat against the back face. The front face of the fragment is decorated with three central grooves and either side of these, along the folded edges of the fragment; there are lines are incised zigzags
Discussion: No published parallel could be found for this fragment but it is most likely to be more than 300 years old and could conceivably be Roman to medieval in date.

TREASURE CASE 2005 T420 Description A narrow rectangular strip of gold, plain except for a very light ridge running along the centre of one face. Either end has a perforation slightly offset from the centre-line and about 1 mm in diameter. One end has a second, smaller perforation alongside the first. The strip is somewhat buckled all along its length and has also been pinched from side to side at two points close to the ends. Two creases are roughly equi-distant from the ends and are 34 mm apart - exactly half the full length; they suggest that the object was originally wrapped aroun…

Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: West Sussex
Workflow stage: Published
A gold ring of uncertain date. The ring has been badly damaged by the plough and as a result has been pulled out of shape. The ring is complete and still roughly circular (maximum diameter 23.09mm) and the gold is very thin (only 1.03mm thick). The maximum width of the hoop is about 4.7mm. There is no decoration on the ring, and it does not look worn; it may have been a decorative binding ring, for example from a walking stick, instead of a finger-ring.

A finger ring examined under the Treasure Act by the British Museum. Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated an approximate gold content for the ring of 50% and silver content of approximately 47%; it weighs 4.78 grams. The ring has a flat, ovoid bezel drawn out at the shoulders into two narrow, wiry strips tapering to points, which were originally wound together to form the hoop, but are now separated; diameter of bezel, 20 mm (max). The decoration of the bezel appears to have been cast (rather than punched as would be usual on Viking-period rings) and consis…

?BA gold finger-ring. The ring is plain though decorated with a pinched midrib running around its circumference. The midrib is beaten flat in some places, and in others has formed a break. The surface is not smooth although the quality of the metal is very good. Diam 20mm. Thickness less than 0.5mm. Width of band 7-8mm. Weighs 2.08g. The ring was squashed when found, and was taken to a jeweller who is responsible for its present circular shape. The jeweller perfomed the acid test and determined the ring is 24ct.

Circular, biconvex, hollow artefact with applied wire and pellets decoration with 19 concentric drop shapes applied around the outer edge. Two twisted wires applied around the outer edge, a fine one close to the front and a coarser one behind.

Record ID: ESS-549A63
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Essex
Workflow stage: Published
Description: Undiagnostic gold fragment. A piece of thick wire, or rod, of circular section except where chopped at each end. The cutting has given the edges a wedge-like profile.
Dimensions:
Weight: 1.6g
Length: 30.04mm
Diameter: 2.42mm
Discussion: The object has been examined by Ben Roberts, Curator of European Bronze Age at the British Museum, who determined that the fragment is undiagnostic in nature.
Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it cannot be securely dated to pre-1711 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

An irregular folded and possibly melted fragment of yellow coloured metal, most probably gold, possibly once being a hammered gold coin. The metal is a mid-yellow gold colour. Another interpretation could possibly be metalworking residue. Due to the nature of the find it is undiagnostic and un-datable, but most likely to be medieval or later.
Due to the undiagnostic nature of this find and uncertainty over dating it would not qualify as potential treasure under the 1996 Treasure Act. As such a record of the find has been made here on the PAS database in case of other finds in the …
