An amorphous glob of gold, that survives as evidence of gold working of an uncertain date. Description: The gold is very pure, with a slightly pitted surface of a solidified fluid. One end of the glob is larger and heavier with a long neck to a small round terminal. Discussion: The high purity, pitted surface and solidified fluid form confirms that this gold has been (re)worked rather than being an example of a naturally occurring nugget of gold ore. As the gold is undiagnostic and cannot be proven to be more than 300 years old, the object does not qualify as Treasure.

Copper alloy metalworking debris. Three fragments of solidified copper alloy waste, of lengths 30mm, 26mm and 15mm, with vesicular zones and trapped darker material, perhaps ash, slag or fuel residue. These fragments all seem lighter than the solidified melt thought to be associated with episodes of casting or recycling, and may point to an episode of primary manufacture. Suggested date: Unknown, Late Bronze Age to Medieval, 1000BC-AD1500 Combined Weight: 46.94gms

Copper alloy possible metalworking debris. A thick round lump of solidified copper alloy melt with uneven surfaces on both its sides. Though appearing to be of a regular hexagonal form in plan view, the section makes it seem unlikely that this is merely a corroded or part-melted button.

A piece of lead alloy metal working debris, or a fragment of an unidentified object of an uncertain date, Roman to Post Medieval period AD 43-1800. The object is irregular shaped; tri-lobate at one end, tapering to a rounded point at the other, with a further lobe extending on each side. One face is smoother than the other, but both are irregular. Dimensions; length 24.1mm, width 17.4mm, thickness 3.3mm and weight 4.9g.

A collection of 13 pieces of metal working debris of an uncertain exact date, but probably dating to the Medieval to Post Medieval period (c. AD 1300-1700). The objects are of irregular size and appear to be copper alloy and lead alloy in constituency. Fragments of casting waste are difficult to date. Scientific analysis of the elemental composition of the copper alloy would allow a more accurate date to be suggested. The suggested date given above is in keeping with objects found in the same locale dating to within this time period.

Lead metalworking debris. A fragment of cast lead sheet with a smooth upper surface, and a rougher lower surface bearing a ring of diameter 38.6mm in low relief; the roughly textured underside may suggest the lead has set on an indented sand bed.

Copper alloy metalworking debris. Five fragments of dense grey bubbled and rough-textured non-ferrous [tested with magnet] metalworking slag with an uneven upper and lower surfaces which include angular or crystalline structures, sparse white inclusions, flow-lines, and uneven textures from cooling. Most of the fragment have at least one recently exposed fracture surface, and some or all may originally have been joined as waste from a single metalworking operation. Accompanying finds suggest an Iron Age or Roman date. Suggested date: Late Iron Age to Roman, 100BC-AD410. Weight: c…

Copper alloy metalworking debris. A small fragment of spilled copper alloy melt, probably waste from an episode of casting or recycling. Presented together with other unburnt socketed axe fragments, ingots and metalworking debris. If from the same find-spot, these might comprise scrap from a metalworkers hoard, and as such would constitute Treasure under the 1996 Act. However, it is uncertain whether their presentation together signals their identical find-spot, or an origin from among less interesting objects and scrap from a wider area.

Copper alloy metalworking debris. An unusually large lump of spilled solidified copper alloy melt; given the high melting point of the material this object is unlikely to have been formed by accident. It is accompanied by a part-melted object [of width 20mm] resembling part of a button from a Roman button and loop fastener [c.AD 50-150]. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Early Medieval, 43-850.
