White metal ingot. A cast oval fragment of dense bright white metal which has been tightly rolled, hammered to round-ended cylindrical form and subsequently indented. Similar objects have been submitted to the Treasure process in the past as potential silver ingots, though they have frequently been considered of recent date by early medieval period specialists based at the British Museum, either with or without the identification of the material by laboratory investigation. The mass of the object does not coincide closely with that of a series of weights – derived from the Scandi…

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
White metal unidentified object fragments. Fifty-three scraps of a solidified melted alloy rendered amorphous by intense heat, possibly aluminium. Accompanied by hollow struts of similar material. Though the material is similar to that encountered on aircraft crash sites, its restricted distribution might rather suggest machinery involved in a bonfire in this case. The coincidental occurrence of other metalworking debris in the same area is unexplained. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-2000 Weight: c.450gms

White metal unidentified object fragment. A small concavo-convex billet of white metal with a curving surface which appears beaten on its convex surface and appearing gouged or distorted on its concave underside. Though the outer surface appears similar to the end of an early medieval ingot, the underside appears to indicate catastrophic damage arising from mechanical action or failure, and at all events is not what would be expected of the manual subdivision of a small ingot. Nor does the current mass relate to systems of measurement thought to have been observed in early medieval tim…

White metal unidentified object. Solid cast cylindrical rod, apparently crimped at one end, broken at the other and pitted overall; burning may have resulted in this oddly turd-like appearance.

The obverse is decorated with a faint reichsadler (spread eagle holding swastika) and the legend reads: [...]es Reich. The reverse contains a numeral 1 and the legend reads: Reichspfennig. Although of recent date, its interest may reside in its loss by a German Prisoner of War, either encamped or labouring nearby. Measurements: 15.8mm diameter, thickness 1.4mm, weight 0.7 grams. Die axis 12 o'clock.

White metal unidentified object. A broken and abraded spherical object, with no trace of the mould line to be expected of a lead shot, and probably of a harder metal. Broken raggedly with loss of perhaps one third of its fabric. This object was tested with a magnet and this did not indicate a ferrous metal. In appearance this resembles an extremely distressed ball bearing, and the surface damage and breakage may both arise from its involvement in catastrophic mechanical failure.

White metal unidentified object. A neatly cast rectangular billet of hard dense metal with crisp arises between its flat faces and retaining a grey tint overall. Objects resembling this often appear along modern roadsides where they have presumably dropped off motor vehicles, though this reporter is entirely unclear as to their automotive use, and would welcome elucidation by a garage mechanic or motor enthusiast. The finder reports that recent scratches revealing a bright silvery surface were inflicted during her preliminary investigation of the object. Suggested date: Modern, 1980-20…
