Workflow stage: Published
A post-medieval or modern lead seal. The seal is circular and has a rectangular hole running from side to side through which a cord would have been threaded. Lettering is visible around the perimeter on both sides. Paul Cannon has kindly identified this is a Danish State seed control seal. Around the Danish crown was originally the inscription STATSFRØKONTROLLEN. The other face would originally have read KØBENHAVN.V. Both faces are now extremely difficult to read.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified object which is probably modern and made of a light white metal, probably aluminium. It is square in section, bent into a loop, and has nicks across the corners. This object was found on a site which has produced a lot of Early Medieval finds, and was originally mistaken for Viking hack silver, but the material is clearly not silver. It therefore does not fall under the 1996 Treasure Act.
