Object type: COIN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Post-Medieval silver plated copper alloy contemporary forgery of a silver half crown of Charles I (1625-1649), Tower mint under Charles I, dating from 1641 onwards. The initial mark looks like interlocking Cs but may be a double struck triangle in circle mark, which dates from 1641-1643 and the obverse is similar to the Group IV half crowns with the Type 4 horseman with the foreshortened horse with the tail between the legs and broken sword in the kings hand, Spink 2779. A small hole has been punched through the coin 11 mm in from one edge so too far from the edge to be used as a pe…

Object type: SKILLET
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy skillet leg with a mounded bulbous transverse collar above a slightly pointed bifid foot designed to look like a hoof. The leg is sub-rectangular in plan and profile and plano-convex in section, with a flat back at 90 degrees to the base. One end is broken above the collar where it has been severed from the rest of the leg. There are patches of burnt organic material on the back and sides of the foot which would have adhered to the surface when the vessel was near the fire.
Height 37.1 mm, width 23.2 mm, thickness 13.3 mm, weight 40.15 g.

Object type: BUCKLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete cast copper alloy double loop spectacle buckle frame of Post-medieval date. The loops are bevelled on the inner edges and the reverse is flat, making them D-shaped in section. The pin bar is narrowed and bevelled and flush with the frame and the pin is missing. The corrosion on the surface of the frame has combined with the surrounding soil to produce a brown colour. A black coating along one edge suggests that the buckle frame was lacquered to protect it from corrosion. The frame is 31.8 mm long, 26.8 mm wide and 3.8 mm thick and weighs 4.35 g.

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cornwall
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete cast copper alloy annular ring brooch, circular in plan and lozenge-shaped in section with an undulating profile, with three recesses dividing four decorated sections. One of the recesses also has a recess on the back of the brooch, where the hinge of the pin was wrapped around the diameter of the ring. There is a slight groove on the opposite side of the brooch which might have acted as the pin rest, but it is probably just from wear. The pin is now missing. The surface of the brooch is corroded and pitted but there appears to be several stamped pellets and other patterns …
