Potential Treasure find: Silver Thimble (2005 T553) The thimble is very hard to date, given that it is squashed out of shape, form being the most useful indicator of date. It might consequently be medieval or alternatively (and in my view more likely) 18th century. I therefore suggest that it should be regarded as undiagnostic and removed from the Treasure process.
