TREASURE CASE : 2017 T535 Description: A complete silver disc of uncertain date. The disc is flat and circular with irregular edges and is undecorated. Dimensions: Diameter: 14.2mm; Thickness: 0.9mm; Weight: 1.1g. Discussion: While the object itself is undiagnostic it was found in an area displaying predominantly Early-Medieval material. This makes a similar date for the current piece possible but not definite. It is likely to have formed a decorative element of a larger object. Conclusion: In terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies…

TREASURE CASE : 2017 T400 The coins (catalogued by Eleanor Ghey) A total of 188 copper alloy coins and two metal objects were submitted for examination as potential Treasure. The two metal objects reported with the coins are thought to be modern gun shot and not associated with the hoard. Most of the coins were legible but had unfortunately been coated in oil which had bound to adhering soil, and some coins were therefore been sent for cleaning in the British Museum's Department of Conservation to allow them to be fully identified, and to separate six coins that were stuck toget…

Treasure Case : 2016 T728. I have examined a fused group of coins reported found at Calton Huswaithe, North Yorkshire. The group appears to consist of eight silver pennies and the weight, 12.7g, would appear to support this suggested number. Only one of the coins has a face that is clear, as the coin on the other end of the pile seems to have become pitted and illegible. The visible side shows the reverse of a penny of the mint of London from the coinage struck under Edward I-III, c. 1279-1333. The standard of the silver coinage at this time was over 90% fine metal. Since these …
