A complete cast copper alloy stamped domed thimble, c. 1350-1450 AD. The thimble was fashioned from a copper alloy sheet and hand punched with holes which spiral from the top; there is a circular 'tonsure' at the top of thimble's dome from this process. A small plain band is visible at the base. The thimble has been crushed slightly, possibly due to damage during deposition. The thimble measures 14.44 mm high, with a base measuring 17.29 mm by 13.61 mm, 0.70 mm thick sheet and weighs 1.94 grams. Cf. Holmes, Fig. 1a from 'Sewing Thimbles', Datasheet 9, Finds Research Group 700-1700.

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy uniface token dating to the Post Medieval period, c. 1550-1800 AD. Powell Type 2. The token is decorated on one side with the letter 'H'. The reverse face is flat and undecorated. It measures 19.61 mm in diameter, 1.86 mm thick and weighs 3.4 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely, however tokens with initials or letters are given a general date of c. 1550-1800.

It measures 14.87 mm in diameter, 1.54 mm thick and weighs 1.7 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely and tokens with simple designs could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date (1250-…

An incomplete cast copper alloy Post Medieval buckle, c. 1620-1680 AD. The remains of the buckle consists of a double loop trapezoidal buckle frame.
