Workflow stage: Published
Hollow sheet metal bracelet, penannular in shape, with spherical terminals. Due to the weight of the bracelet it is highly unlikely that the material of this find is gold. The date is uncertain but it is not Ancient, post-dating 1707. As the find dates later than 1707, and does not contain the minimum of 10% precious metal necessary to qualify as Treasure, it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
