This gold ring is formed of three interlinking hoops, the centre one flat on both sides, the two outer hoops flat on one side only; the hoops interlink at the front forming a decorative bezel. Although examples are known, puzzle rings are not common before 1700; in this case, there is no evidence to date this ring pre 1705. J Rudoe British Museum 26/01/2006

A complete Silver gilt finger ring of early Modern dating (early 19th Century). Formed of a broad silver hoop, partly gilded; three horizontal bands with punched decoration applied in clumps. In the absence of anything comparable in the collections of the British Museum it is difficult to date this ring with any accuracy but it is unlikely to be earlier than the 19th century.

An incomplete silver pin, with a hollow-stamped bird finial, of 19th Century dating. A pin with a hollow-stamped bird finial, in two pieces (the bird is separate); there is nothing comparable in the British Museum collections, but this object is certainly not earlier than the 19th century. As the pin is certainly not earlier than 19th Century, and as it is a single find, it falls outside of the requirements of the Treasure Act 1996 and should not be considered to be Treasure.

DIMS Treasure case 2008 T659: Silver ornamental ring A thin silver band, set with three transparent white stones, either rock-crystal, or more likely glass, in plain collet setting.

As the find can not be securely dated to pre-1708 it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
