Silver possible ingot. Cast oval-ended lump the size and shape of a coffee bean, with a long (6.5mm) deep 93.3mm) slot in one side. The surface is black, either through corrosion or from a thick layer of paint or oil, though a scratch reveals dense white metal below. Similar objects have been reported from the vicinity (e.g. possible ingot NLM-930AB3), and a group were also severally reported at a metal detecting rally near Alford, Lincolnshire, in 2013. As well as ingots, it has also been suggested that these objects may be either primitive or ethnographic currency units. Suggested d…

Record ID: CAM-7B1C64
Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A delicate copper-alloy ring which may or maynot have been used as a finger-ring. The date of this artefact is uncertain but it must be noted that it was found in the same field as a Roman coin (CAM-CC89C2). Both the coin and this ring were separately found encased in a lump of corrosion (See CAM-CC89C2) and it is uncertain whether a small amount of the original surface of this ring became detatched when removed from the corrosion lump as happened with the coin. This ring weighs 0.57g, has an external diameter of 20.1mm and seems to probably have a 'D' shaped cross-section unless t…
