Post Medieval silver sixpence of William III, probably 1st bust (1696). It has been folded into an S shape in profile. It is likely another coin was bent with it at the same time to form a matching 'token'. Coins folded in this fashion are often called 'love tokens' but they are probably more likely to be tokens of transactions, partculary deals done between illiterate people or those who did not have recourse to pen and paper, a sort of laymans indentured document. Dates to 1696 AD, and the folding is 18th or 19th century. The diameter is 23mm, and the weight 5.6g. O…

Post Medieval to Modern silver eyelet in the form of a six-petalled flower. It is domed in profile. On the rear there is a stubby projection with a broken tab attached to it. The form of this tab and the uniform finish of the outer face indicate that the eyelet is the product of fairly recent manufacture. It is quite worn and the projection and tab may be part of a repair. Suggested date range c1850 to c1910 AD, but it could be more recent. Length 10mm, width 11mm, weight 0.9g.

Early to late Post Medieval silver bell. It is similar to those described as being used as hawking bells and dress accessories, but is probably too big to have served the former purpose well. Now squashed, it was constructed of sheet silver with an added suspension loop, now broken. A moulded 'sun burst' pattern radiates diagonally from around the suspension loop. A copper alloy swivel (LANCUM-D6B0CE) was found close by and the two objects may be associated. Suggested dates c1500 to c1900 AD. The dating of both bell and swivel are problematic as they appear to have been produced in a …
