Description: Roughly circular or slightly oval gold object, apparently made from a piece of flat sheet. An oval area in the centre has been raised, and this pierced in the centre by a small circular hole c. 1mm in diameter. The face with the raised centre has fine concentric lines scratched or engraved around the flange, and an edge which appears slightly thickened in places. The raised centre has broad lines scored across it, perhaps as a result of damage while in the soil. The other face does not appear to have any markings other than those caused by general wear and tear. The circu…

Description Small gold pellet. Diameter 8.2 x 7.5mm; Thickness 4.1mm; Weight 3.2g. Identification There are no diagnostic features, thus it is not possible to assign this piece to any cultural or chronological context. It cannot therefore be securely dated to pre-1713 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996. Gillian Varndell Curator, British Museum 24.07.2013

Description: Undated gold ring. Slightly irregular section, D-shaped externally with a median arris internally. The internal surface is irregular and not well finished / smoothed in some areas. Date: Undated. Dimensions: Internal diameter 16 - 17mm. External diameter 22 - 22.5mm. Width of band 4 - 4.5mm. Thickness of band 2.5 - 3mm. Weight 6.7g. Discussion: The lack of diagnostic features make this ring difficult to date. The irregular section of the band would be unusual for a post-medieval finger ring, the form and plainness would be unusual for a ring of Roman to Medieval dat…

A gold-alloy mount of uncertain date, c. AD 43-1900. The mount is a flat strip of sheet gold, alloyed with silver, rectangular in plan with a punched hold through the centre of one end. The corners at the opposite end are bent and have torn edges. The entire strip is distorted in shape. There is no decoration or defining feature on either face.

Workflow stage: Published
A short length of gold strip from an unidentified object of uncertain date. The strip is rectangular in section and has rounded ends. It is bent double and has some damage at the bend. The strip is undecorated. Due to a lack of archaeological context and diagnostic features it is not possible to assign this to any particular date or culture and is best regarded as an undiagnostic fragment. The strip can be compared to YORYM-90AE41 (2011 T743) and BUC-CC8463 (2010T510). Discussion: Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find, and despite it containing a minimum of 10% precious…

A gold-coloured ring with a cluster of spherical pellets decorating the bezel. The hoop is circular with eight facets, the soldered join of the hoop is visible beneath the pellets. The ring is undatable and the metal is possibly not gold. This object has been assessed by multiple British Museum curators (covering the periods of Roman, Byzantine, Early Medieval, Medieval and Post-Medieval) but it has not been possible to attribute a date for this ring.

A small droplet of gold, with some scratching and pitting on either surface. The droplet is roughly sub-rectangular with a D-shaped cross section. Although the item appears to be of gold, without contextual association it cannot be securely dated to a particular era and therefore does not qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the 1996 Act.

The find consists of a small gold ingot of rounded, sub-rectangular shape and roughly plan-convex section; length, 17mm; width, 11mm (max); weight, 8.76 grams. There is a slight, diagonal nick across the narrow end of a hammered, ovoid depression on top, but this appears to have been accidentally caused during working rather than deliberately cut to test the metal.

TREASURE ITEM 2012 T628: Fragment of a gold strip with the longest edge deliberately and neatly folded. The other edges are damaged and are most likely not deliberate. 8mm up from the longest edge is a line of small punched dots such that the folded edge appears on the same side from which the punching has been carried out. There is a small hole in the top right of the piece that is probably not deliberate. A similar gold strip was found in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire PAS ID YORYM-AECC98.

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…

Gold foil. A strip of fine beaten gold foil of thickness 0.18mm. The strip was apparently straight-edged and has been neatly folded at least nine times producing a neat and compact flattened roll. This material would appear to be prepared for craft use, as for the decoration by gilding of metalwork, rather than being bullion. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 100-1600.
