A gold disc, probably part of a late Post Medieval or Modern collar stud or similar dress fitting, dating from AD 1850 - 2000. It is a shallowly domed disc with no decoration.

A complete Iron Age coin.

A complete, but folded, sheet gold basket-shaped ornament of Bronze Age date (2500-2200 BC). The object is composed of a single, oval sheet of gold, rolled into a cylinder. There is an integral, flat, sub-rectangular tang projecting from the centre of one long edge which appears to be truncated. In use, the object would have been a tube, but this example has been further folded. Both ends have been folded towards the middle, and the tube has been flattened, making the ornament now sub-rectangular. There is a crease visible about 2mm from the edge of the sheet all the way round, like a …

A complete gold signet (or seal) finger-ring of Post-Medieval date (AD 1500-1700).

A probably Late Bronze Age (1100-750 BC) solid gold ring of hexagonal cross-section, with flat upper and lower faces, and the internal and external faces to either side being angled.

It is 28.4mm external diameter, 20.5mm internal diameter, 4mm thick and weighs 13.2g. The internal angle makes it unlikely that this ring was worn as a finger ring. It is likely to have been a linking component of a composite object or suite of fit…
