Lead tokens had a wide variety of potential uses such as tallies, gaming pieces, tickets, weights, etc. and are believed to have been locally produced; they are therefore difficult to date precisely.
The Powell classification system, in which there are over 30 categories, attempts to classify these leaden tokens according to the designs featured on each face, but it does not assign any chronology. Under the Powell classification this is likely to be Class 3: segments.Powell Class 33636150017004WILTSSWM 61482023-05-29T10:35:51Z2023-12-28T14:41:07Z4.12PAS647471F700127118.31.4125142141427439254414243925WiltshireWiltshireSalisburySU133251.08717029-1.81576919bands.shops.handy10WILT-4720DALead Alloy11095Struck or hammeredCompletePOST MEDIEVALx41047POST MEDIEVALx41047x41047Metal detectorReturned to finder1114539_658e984bc8c2d.jpg1254834images/sophaw123/South WestCertain12023-12-29T09:58:37.858ZSuffolk1CountyStruck or hammeredPOST MEDIEVAL1CertainMetal detectorIMG_4179.jpg159341157381PMDistrictCertain467WILT1569216.651539Restricted Accessx410472.04Babergh11095Token penny2018-06-02T10:59:09ZReturned to finderEasternCirca

A post medieval pewter whistle, probably for hawking or hunting, dating to c AD 1700-1900. The whistle is complete. It is in the form of the head and neck of a bird of prey (possibly an eagle). The whistle is hollow. The upper and lower beaks meet in a point at the tip and behind this there is a circular hole between the beaks to allow the whistle to be suspended. Behind the beak, the brow rises up over hooded circular eyes on each side. The brow then continues back with a raised section which surrounds the whole of the head and is intended to represent feathers. Behind the head the whistle continues in a straight line with a semi-circular slot for the sound and a slanting end which is filled with a separate solid piece which blocks the hole except for a narrow slot at the top. The stopper creates a concave profile at the slanting end of the whistle.

A post medieval thimble probably English type dating to the period c AD 1730-1800. It is not clear what metal the thimble is made from it has been suggested that the timble is silver, the fact that the thimble has been cast and the visible corrosion suggests that this example is produced from pewter or lead alloy.
The thimble is 20.46mm in height. The bottom of the ring is decorated with incised vertical lines with two transverse incised lines above around the thimble. The main part of the ring has fine holes dimpling the surface, with diagonal lines criss-crossing the thimble which tends to obscure the holes. The top of the thimble has four rows of holes which give the impression of a central rose with a pellet in the centre. There is a hole perforating the top of the thimble. The interior is undecorated. the thimble has been slightly squashed. The thimble appears to have been well used.

The seal comprises four discs in two conjoined pairs joined in the centre with a rectangular tab. The seal is bent in the centre at the tab so the pairs of discs are back to back. One of the discs is stamped with the bust of probably George I.
