A copper alloy unidentified object of uncertain date, the condition of the metal making a Medieval to post medieval date most likely. It is a rod of copper alloy, circular in cross-section at one end, and lozenge shaped for two thirds of the length from the other end, which also tapers to a point. There is a wide notch across one corner of the lozenge near the tip. A short groove spiralling round the side of the object at the circular end may be damage. The circular end is flat, possibly with the traces of a recessed cross on the end face. The metal has a dark green patina wi…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead possible weight of unknown date, Roman to Post medieval, AD 43 - 1800. It is a neatly cast square plaque of lead, with one face concave, and also have a roughly triangular concavity in one corner, probably a casting flaw. The corner sare rounded and the other faces are plain. It has a cream coloured patina. It is 16.6mm long, 15.1mm wide and 10.1mm thick. 36.2g. The mass does not correspond obviously to the normal standard systems of weighing, so it is possibly this is a weight to add mass, like a paperweight, or it could be a form of ingot - a convenient way to store some spare lead.

Object type: INGOT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
Description: An incomplete gold ingot of unspecified date. It is 31.46mm long, 8.6mm wide and 5.95mm thick. It weighs 17.52g. The ingot is sub rectangular in section with the main upper and lower face being flat, but the sides are rounded, made up of 5-6 hammered facets of changing width. At either end there is an old coarse break. Discussion: Gold ingots are very difficult to date as many are not characteristic shapes. This one can be compared to IOW-937FD0 which is Treasure Case 2004 T4, and IOW-0C3A98. The finder notes that Roman coins, but also Medieval pottery was recovered fr…

An iron hook, possibly a fishing hook, of unknown date. It is made from a piece of circular sectioned iron, bent into a wide U shaped hook at one end, and a closed circular loop at the other, the whole having a S shape.
