Lead and iron fishing lure. Plano-convex casting representing a beetle with eyes, wing case and abdomen modelled, and with the bent stub of an iron hook or pin embedded in its flat underside on the centre line, a little towards the tail. The form of the object enabled it to spin as it was drawn through water, and the low relief detail on the convex face was intended to set up vibrations to entice fish such as salmon or pike - its 'realistic' appearance would be of more significance to the fisherman than to his prey. If successful, the object would function as a gorge, to stick crosswa…

A Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface circular token. The token has a raised cross design, with a single raised pellet in each angle,possibly intended to imitate a Medieval long cross penny. The reverse is blank.

Until recently cross and pellet designs were thought to be contemporary with similar Medieval coin designs; however publication of moulds and double faced tokens which combine Post Medieval initial style designs with cross and pellets suggest they conti…

An incomplete cast lead-alloy weight, probably home-made/unofficial, dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1600-1800.

A complete circular biconical cast lead-alloy weight, possibly a spindle whorl dating from the later medieval or early post-medieval period, i.e. AD1200-1600. The lead weight is flat biconical in cross-section with a rounded base and top. It is decorated with an erratic criss-cross pattern on both sides. The edges on both sides are decorated with large circular pellets giving the rim a bulgy look. This, however, may have improved the spinning motion of the spindle whorl, similar to modern spinning tops which have a thickened or bulging edge. Lead weights like these are common finds…

Cast lead-alloy weight, probably a Roman or medieval steelyard weight dating from c. 1st-16th century AD. The weight is made from lead-alloy and is onion-shaped with no further marks on the surface. There are remains of an iron hook at the top which is now corroded away and missing. Steelyards weights such as this were in common use in agricultural areas, but they were not official weights seeing that they were not marked in any way. Official weights would be clearly marked with an indication of the weight and the assayer's mark.
