Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface of a a decorated metal strip for Melling, Merseyside indicated a silver content of approximately 95%, the rest being copper with no trace elements detected. The strip weighs 4.52 grams.

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 hoards in Lancashire and Cheshire, as well as more widely in Viking contexts in Britain and Ireland, and Melling lies in an area of Viking settlement, so the discovery of such an object in the area is not in itself unlikely.
However, there are a number of discrepancies which suggest that the object is either a modern imitation of a Viking artefact, or that it is a modern object of some other function with only a coincidental resemblance to an object of the Viking Age. In terms of its appearance, the width is rather less than most rings of this type, and although other examples of comparable width are recorded, they are thicker. The design is also extremely shallow in comparison with typical punch-marked designs of the type that this resembles. The physical appearance is therefore marginal for identification as a genuine object, although the possibility that it is a very crude and atypical example of the type cannot be completely ruled out.
However, the questionable appearance of the object must be seen in conjunction with its metal content. As indicated in the accompanying report, XRF analysis of the surface reveals a content of 95 % silver and 5% copper, with no trace elements of gold or lead. While not completely unknown in pre-modern silver, the absence of trace elements in a genuine object of the period would be extremely unusual, with less than 1% of analysed silver objects of the period lacking any trace elements.
The evidence of the metal analysis is overwhelmingly in favour of the object being of modern manufacture, and the fact that the appearance is only marginal tends to confirm this. On balance, it therefore appears probably that the object is less than 300 years, and therefore does not constitute treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996).
