2008 T663 Post-Medieval silver artefact British Museum Report: Silver artefact, cast, baluster shaped, with two terminals. On the back remains of two projecting knops at either end, perhaps originally for a brooch fitting, now missing. On the back also a maker's mark perhaps GM and a hallmark resembling a lion passant.

Therefore, in all probability, this item is not Treasure as stipulated by the Treasure Act 19…
