Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy badge. Concavo-convex die-stamped badge in the form of a bird with forked tail in flight. The finder kindly suggests the species represented to be a swallow. This reporter considers it might rather be a bluebird; probably made as a trinket to promote Bluebird Toffee, made in the West Midlands 1898-1998, and now part of the Hull-based Needlers group. Now bent into a curl with only scars in the hollow back to indicate the former presence of pin gear, though a thin [diameter 0.7mm] drawn wire pin was loose in the bag. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-1960. Length (as found): …

Lead offcuts. Two tiny fragments of lead: one is a rectangular billet of cast sheet, of length 17.2mm and thickness 2.6mm, folded and patinated. The other comprises lead sheet or foil, of length 22.7mm, possibly layered, which appears to include finely defined straight edges, overlapping and interleaved in two or more layers, and lightly patinated.

Copper alloy possible surgical implement. A cast blade of elongated sub-triangular form, resembling one side of a pair of tweezers, thinned at its broader end and thickened as it narrows, terminating at a small sharp curved rhomboid point. The pointed end might have served as a scoop or pick, though it is now dangerously sharp for this to be attempted. The broader 'tweezer' blade may have had a counterpart, though again, how attached is now unclear. Traces of white metal plating appear on one side of the object. Now bent or curled and approaching an S shape in profile. Suggested date:…

Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy possible mount. A flat plate of fungiform or mushroom shape with a slightly engrailed base and a central fixing hole of diameter 2.4mm. The crisp edges may suggest the object was die-stamped, which would imply a relatively recent date. Staining around the hole may be from an iron fixing pin [otherwise lost]. The object may have had a mechanical rather than a decorative function, perhaps as a spacer plate. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1850.

Iron wedge. A wrought iron blade approaching hourglass form, with a broad curved cutting edge, a constriction a little above its midpoint where the profile is slightly thickened, and a flat narrower butt. One side of the blade is thicker towards the cutting edge, with a sharp stepped edge to the thickened part. The straight edge opposite the cutting edge is burred by recurrent impact from the use of the object. This appears to be a tool for cutting wood, possibly in thin slices as with the manufacture of roof shingles, whose manufacture would involve a blade and mallet. The finder kin…
