Treasure case: 2016 T1011 A brooch with a pin on reverse in an Anglo-Saxon style, possibly of gold plate or similar. Dimensions: Length: 46mm Weigh:25mm Thickness: 3-9mm Weight: 10.82g Discussion: After discussions with the curators at the British Museum, the brooch is likely a copy of an early medieval Celtic-style penannular brooch, and could even date to the 20th century. Conclusion: Due to the find most likely dating to the 20th century, it is less than 300 years old and therefore falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996. …

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MODERN
County: Sefton
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Description: The object is a strip of silver with a pattern of what appear to be stamped lines on one side, cut at both ends and bent. There are no visible test marks, and no trace of solder or other fastening. Dimensions: 8mm wide, and 1mm thick. Weight 4.52g Discussion: The object has some similarities with so-called broad-band arm-rings of the late 9th and 10th centuries, produced in Viking contexts around the Irish Sea. Such pieces were commonly cut-up as 'hack-silver', valued by weight within a bullion economy. Finds of arm-rings of this type are recorded from Viking hoar…

Description: A silver twisted wire ring. Dimensions: Length: 18 mm Width: 17 mm Thickness: 3 mm Weight: 0.8 g Discussion: The option of this being an Early Medieval find was discarded on the basis of construction as it is made from a strip rather than a rod and also due to the format of the terminals. Also on the basis of construction (made of a strip of twisted silver with a twisted wire) the option of it being of Medieval date was put aside. On further inspection the item was found to probably be an element from a more elaborate piece of jewellery dating to…
