There is a small solid shaft,12mm long, protruding from the object on the same axis as the ridge which has a small triangular protrusion near to the base. Below this is a curving sheet of silver which may have formed the hollow shaft? Below this is half of an oval shaped hole.

Post Medieval copper alloy hawking whistle, 72mm long, 38mm wide and 12mm thick with a weight of 45.28g.
The object is sub triangular in form and rectangular in cross section and consists of three sections. Firstly is a circular cross sectioned hollow whistle with a semi-circular air hole in its upper surface. On the opposite to the hole is a rectangular cross sectioned shaft which is broken off and the break has the traces of part of a centrally placed circular hole. Projecting forward from this is a curved, circular cross sectioned 'Corvid' like zoomorphic head. Where it joins the whistle there is a curved 'peak' projecting upwards with an incised line running down the middle of the rectangular shaft below. In front of the 'peak' is a round incised eye which sits behind two chevron shaped ledges. From here projects a curved, pointed beak with a curved incised line de-marking each half. The object has the same form, but not the decoration of LVPL-8E9B4F which has been dated to 1700-1900AD.

The object is in fair condition with a silver patina and weighs 2.7grams. The object is a Tudor period whistle which is formed of a circular hollow, made up of two pieces of metal with a joining ridge running around it. There is a small void along the upper part of this ridge. The whistle has a circular sectioned shaft which has two bands of raised metal, one centrally and one forming the mouthpiece at the end. This is decorated below by a circular sectioned wire which is turned on itself at each end, forming a scroll. The outer end of this is joined, perhaps to form a suspension loop.
This is a silver post-medieval bosun's whistle, used for giving orders and signalling at sea and as a badge of status. Similar whistles are in the collections of the NMM (PT 0457) and MOL (six examples in pewter and tin but not in silver, found on the Thames foreshore).
The ones mentioned above are generally dated to the 16th Century, see TAR 2002 no. 125, but this one may be slightly later, possibly 16th-17th Century. As such, due to its age and precious metal content, this object qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
