Record ID: HESH-F449A5
Object type: COIN
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Shropshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A heavily eroded and corroded silver coin like disc of uncertain date - the find is thicker than a milled coin and looks as if it has been struck rather than milled. It is also thicker than conventional medieval and post medieval struck / hammered coins (based on its relevant size). Therefore, it is possibly a debased Roman coin of some sort. It has been found close to an area of Roman denarii

Object type: BRACELET
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete silver bracelet formed from a single twisted wire, rectangular in section. The object is broadly circular in plan, although slightly misshapen.
