Copper alloy nut crackers fragment, as kindly identified by Peter Reavill with reference to Georgian objects featured in 'Gary's odds and sods sheet'. Cast D section hook tapering to a rounded point.

A pair of small V shaped notches at the broken expanded end appear more likely to be decorative features…

Copper alloy gilt coin. Plated South Ferriby uninscribed stater of the Corieltauvi, ABC no. 1743, Van Arsdell 811-2; Haselgrove Period 2 Phase 6, issue of 50-20 BC.
