A complete medieval to Post medieval cast copper-alloy open thimble or sewing ring, dating to c AD1450 - 1600. The pits are hand drilled, and arranged irregularly in four concentric circles, with some misplaced. There is a narrow plain border at the base and a narrower one at the top.
It is 10.72mm in height, 19.15mm in diameter at the base. tapering to 17.07mm at the top. It weighs 5.41g.
Holmes (1988) notes the lack of evidence for open topped thimbles in Britain prior to c. 1450, and illustrates a similar example, dating to c. 1500 (fig. 4).

An incomplete and corroded Medieval circular unifaced coin-weight for a ryal (rose noble), c. 1464-c. 1471. Withers and Withers 1995: 36, 68.
The weight has a raised border at the front. The front is stamped with a crown at the 12 o'clock position and a rose at the 6 o'clock position. The rear is heavily grooved or filed with a bevelled border.
This coin weight has a dark green patina.
Diameter: 15.7mm; thickness: 2.7mm. Weight: 2.03g. (31.6 grains).
This is a British coin weight for a ryal (rose noble), falling below the standard 120 grains for this type. The condition of the weight probably accounts for the disrepancy.

An incomplete medieval copper alloy brooch dating to cAD1150 - 1250 . The object consists of a circular frame, now slightly distorted, with a thin rectangular cross section and two notches, on opposing sides of the frame. On a line perpendicular to these, two hooked projections expand outwards from the frame, both with a zoomorphic terminal.
Dimensions: 33.84mm in length, 19.63mm in width, and weighs 2.34g.
A similar artefact with a circular frame and opposing hooked extensions is illustrated in Saunders, 2012, Salisbury and South Wiltshire Medieval Catalogue, Volume 4, figure 13, number 8 and is attributed to the early to mid-thirteenth century. More complete examples, such as SWYOR-1CB26C, would suggest that the notches originally held a separately made copper alloy bar, and that the object functioned as a buckle, rather than brooch, although given its small size a functional use seems doubtful.

A Medieval copper alloy mount, probably dating to c. AD 1150-1450. The mount comprises of a central circular boss with a convex front and concave reverse. The front of the boss is decorated with a series of transverse ridges, each scored perpendicularly creating a corded appearance. Expanding from either logitudinal end of the boss is a perforated circular lug, each holding a separately made copper alloy rivet in situ.
The bar mount is 19.11mm in length, 10.57mm in width and weighs 1.99g.
Two mounts of very comparable form can be seen illustrated by Egan & Pritchard (1991: 214, nos. 1160 & 1161), both were found in contexts dating to the late 14th century, although mounts of this form appear to have been popular throughout the medieval period.

An copper alloy double looped buckle, probably of late Medieval date, c. AD 1350-1500. The surviving fragment comprises of a single rectangualr loop with the central bar, the second loop is truncated by a break and although sub-rectangular, it has been deformed by the break and it is not clear if the two loops were symmetrical. The bar has a central constriction to hold a lost pin.
It is 25mm in length (and would have been c28mm originally), 25.10mm in width and weghs 5.95g.
Cf. although not all necessarily of the same form, Egan & Pritchard (1991: 101-103) publish buckles with similar constrictions paired with rectangular frames, nos. 465, 470, 467 and 472. A late medieval date range is therefore suggested.

A complete medieval cast copper alloy single looped buckle, dating to c. AD1250 - 1400. The frame is D-shaped in plan, the outer edge expanding to a point with a slight notch to form the pin rest. The bar is flanked by knops. A simple copper alloy sheet pin survives in situ, with the sheet rolled to form the point.
It is 18.18mm in length, 23.55mm in width and weighs 3.69g.
cf. Meols type 3, for which no dated comparanda was known (Griffiths, Philpott and Egan 2007), based on its general form a 13th-14th century date range can be suggested.

A fragment of a Medieval to post-Medieval copper-alloy purse bar (c. 1450-c. 1550). Williams 2018 Class A1.
This fragment comprises of one incomplete arm only. The arm, circular in cross-section, projects from the jaws of an incomplete zoomorphic moulding. Double-stranded niello-inlaid cross-hatched decoration survives on both sides as well as the top. The narrowed end of the bar with its knop for securing the bar to the frame is missing due to a break. An incomplete sub-rectangular attachment plate projecting from the arm is parallel to the length of the arm. The attachment arm has two perforations which are incomplete.
This purse bar is worn and reddish brown with traces of a green patina.
Length: 62.5mm; width: 11.0mm; thickness: 6.7mm. Weight: 16.87g.
Purse bars with niello inlaid decoration and zoomorphic mouldings at the bases of arms are classified by Ward-Perkins (1940: 164, fig. 50) as Type A1.

A complete copper alloy Medieval decorated finger ring, probably c. 1400 - 1500 AD. The ring is composed of two elements, with the inner section having an applied outer ring with what appear to be talismanic, devotional, or Christian symbols/verse on six separate panels. Three of the panels are crafted as if an open book, the remainder are simple plaques with a curvilinear 'banner' on which there are black letter style inscriptions. The inscriptions are very indistinct and seemingly just random letters. There is some remnant evidence, that the ring was gilded. A similar ring in gold is at - LANCUM-469077

An early post-medieval French Shield jetton.
Description: The obverse of the jetton shows a shield of France with three fleurs de lis, surmounted by a crown. There is an illegible legend around the margin. The reverse shows an imperial orb surmounted by a cross within an ornamental tressure that has three main arches. Again, there is an illegible legend around the margin. The jetton is very corroded and there is some damage around a ragged hole that may have, at some point, have been a piercing.
Measurements: Diameter 27.88mm: Weight 1.51g.
Discussion: These jetton types are classed as anonymous Nuremberg stock jettons with the large orb indicating an early date of AD 1500-1525. Examples can be found in Mitchiner pages 355-358.

A post-medieval, cast copper-alloy nail.
Description: The nail has a square-section tapered shank and a round head. The lower half of the shank retains the remains of the timber object that it was hammered into. The wood fibres are clearly defined but stained green by the copper in the nail.
Measurements: Length 28.02mm: Width/Diameter (head) 9.65mm: Thickness (shank) 4.33mm: Weight 3.15gms
Discussion: Copper-alloy nails would be used in locations like flour mills where it was imperative to avoid striking sparks. Suggested date post-medieval, AD 1650-1850.
