A complete lead token dating to the Post Medieval period (c. AD 1500-1800). The token has 'IB' inscribed on one face, though this would be read as 'JB' at the time.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron unidentified object of uncertain date, AD 43 - 1950. It is probably made of wrought iron as it has the appearance of grain, like wood does. It is a bar which is circular in section at one end, but which quickly flattens out to a thinner rectangular cross-section. At the other end, one side curves inwards producing a knife like shape with a flat back and a pointed tip. This object is not identified as a knife however, because the curved edge is as uniformally thick (about 3.5mm) as the straight back, so there is no cutting edge, though the whole object does taper towards the cu…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead probable musket ball of Post-Medieval date, about AD 1600 - 1800. The casting seam and the remains of a casting sprue can be seen; it has been trimmed with nippers, leaving two facets. The two opposing faces furthest away from the casting seam have a circular groove on each. These seem to be integral mouldings. There are also radiating cracks in the patina.
