Circumstances of discovery: Whilst searching with a metal detector Description: Silver hollow cast sphere from a huntsman's whistle. The pea is now missing. Decoration is applied on both sides in the form of a quatrefoil motif with a plain cross running through the centre. Discussion: This fragment was found within very close proximity to the Silver Huntman's whistle found in October 2002 (see 2005 T22; TAR 2995 - 2006), and as such is most likely to be part of the same artefact. Due to its age and precious metal content, this item would qualify as treasure under the Trea…

The wire, which is circular in section, measures c.0.5mm; ten of these wires are combined to form a larger 'thread' measuring c.5mm. The thread has then been woven together to form a basket weave pattern.

A cast copper alloy weight dating from the post medieval or modern period. It weighs 12.34 grams or 0.43 ounces, suggesting that this was probably a half ounce weight. It has a lip running around the outside edge of one face; at the centre of this face is a pair of concentric circles.

A lead alloy weight. The weight is D-shaped in horizontal profile; one of the sides is flat and the other curves in an arc. The weight tapers vertically to an apex. There is an integral circular hole towards the top of the weight for attachment. As weights such as this one have been in common use since the Roman period, they can be difficult to date if not found within an archaeological context.
