A hammered gold sheet of uncertain date. The sheet has a maximum length of 51.4mm, width of 39.3mm, 0.7mm thick and weighs 14.76g. The sheet is lacking any diagnostic features so the use and date cannot be determined. Small percussion marks on the surface indicate the sheet was intentionally flattened before being deposited, discarded, or lost. Due to the uncertainty of the date, the object is not considered Treasure under the Treasure Act 1996.

An amorphous glob of gold, that survives as evidence of gold working of an uncertain date. Description: The gold is very pure, with a slightly pitted surface of a solidified fluid. One end of the glob is larger and heavier with a long neck to a small round terminal. Discussion: The high purity, pitted surface and solidified fluid form confirms that this gold has been (re)worked rather than being an example of a naturally occurring nugget of gold ore. As the gold is undiagnostic and cannot be proven to be more than 300 years old, the object does not qualify as Treasure.

Description: Length of thick gold wire of circular cross-section, with a fresh granular break at one end and roughly rounded at the other (possibly an old break). It is curved along its length, forming about half of a circle about 35mm in diameter. The outer surface of the curve is smooth but the inner has slight longitudinal facets, as if hammered to shape.  It is slightly crushed and bent at the rounded end, and the damage has caused cracking to the metal here. Dimensions: Unbent length 50mm, bent into half-circle measuring 32.1 x 37.9mm. Diameter of rod 4.1…

County: Wiltshire

A gold object of uncertain date, 13mm in length, comprised of two circular gold wire rings which were originally interlinked and which have been partially melted and fused together by exposure to fire or heat. The internal diameter of the rings is around 8.5mm and they are around 1mm thick with circular cross section. There are breaks in the rings which appear to be from heat damage rather than from the process of manufacture. Possibly a jewellery component, but of uncertain date. Lengh: 13mm; Width: 11.4mm; Weight 1.10g.

A fragment of twisted gold wire of uncertain date and function, most likely part of an earring or other item of jewellery. The wire originally had a square cross section and has been twisted along most of its length and bent into an S-shape. There is a short section of around 10mm on the outside of the larger bend which appears not to have been twisted; this may be an original feature relating to the function of the object, perhaps suggestive of a suspension loop.

An undiagnostic gold fragment of uncertain date. The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan and rectangular in section both sides appear to have been hammered/worked. The short ends both appear to have been cut. No decoration is present on either the obverse or the reverse of the sheet. Length 22.2 mm, width 7.5 mm, thickness 1.2 mm and weight: 2.29 g. This find has since been assessed by a relevant specialist. In their opinion the object is undiagnostic and cannot be securely dated to pre-1720, and therefore it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

A fragmented of gold ingot of uncertain date Description: Hammered gold bar, of rectangular section, tapering slightly towards rounded ends. Accretion of (?)ferrous metal towards one end on one face. There are no obvious test marks. Dimensions: 24 x 6 x 4mm, 5.92g Discussion: Ingots are extremely difficult to date with any certainty unless they are found in association with other objects, or unless they have features which point firmly to association with a particular period. Although there is often an assumption that ingots are likely to be of Viking origin, as they function…

A gold ingot of uncertain date, probably Bronze Age - Medieval, 2000 BC- AD 1100. The object is a sub-cylindrical bar of unshaped gold, tapering slightly in width. One terminal has a rounded 'break' while the other is simply a rounded off point. The gold has some pitting on the outside surface but otherwise no identifiable markings to indicate its age. Dimensions: Length: 44.39 mm Width: 8.48 mm Thickness: 7.63 mm Weight: 22.15 g Discussion: The dating of gold ingots is difficult. There is a complete example with similar faceting DENO-938F3D, that was put through the Treasu…

Treasure Case : 2017 T771 Description: A small, possibly complete gold-alloy ingot of uncertain date. The ingot is a flattened irregular semi-oval, sub-rectangular in cross-section. It is possible that the piece was hammered to flatten it out. The surfaces are plain though some scratches are present. No obvious nick marks or cutting can be seen on any surface and the form of the ingot is not diagnostic to any particular period. Dimensions: Length: 15.3mm; Width: 10.9mm; Thickness: 3.3mm; Weight: 5.37g. Conclusion: Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find, it canno…

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Nottinghamshire

Description: The object found is a small piece of a gold metal bar or rod 14.5mm long with a rectangular cross section 5mm wide and 2mm deep. There is evidence that the bar fragment has been cut from a large bar at both ends. The fragment weighs 3.0g. Discussion: There is no evidence to give any indication of how old the gold bar fragment is from either the object itself or other finds found with it. Nor is there any evidence for what the bar was original for or from. However, the shape of the object would not suggest this is an Iron Age gold ingot etc. when compared with other go…

A complete but damaged gold finger ring of uncertain date. The ring has an oval hoop and a flattened sub-rectangular bezel which has been damaged. The ring is undecorated. There is no inscription and no maker's marks or stamps. Dimensions: 21mm in diameter, 3mm in width, 3.2g. An image of the finger ring has been assessed by the British Museum and due to its undiagnostic nature it can not be proven that the object is more than 300years old. As such it cannot be declared Treasure.

Description: A small undecorated gold finger ring. The band is rectangular in cross section, with a slightly circumferentially concave exterior surface. There are no maker's or hall marks. Dimensions: 17.33 mm x 1.07 mm Weight: 1.85 g Date: Unknown Discussion: It is difficult to parallel such a plain object, and in the absence of any maker's or hall marks the ring cannot be definitively dated to pre-1718. Thus whilst the ring does appear to comprise of more than 10% precious metal, it cannot be said with certainty that it was 300 years old at the time of finding and theref…

An incomplete gold disc, possibly a disc brooch or mount. This fragment weighs 3.33g but includes the weight of some adhering mud. No full diameter survives, however the radius measures 17.4mm which would suggest a diameter of 34.8mm if this was indeed a circular artefact. The edge is serrated, each projection having a width of c.1.6mm, some segments seem to be missing and others reduced in length or bent over suggesting partial damage to the edge. At the base of these a strand of wire forms a border on the upper surface. The wire has a width of 0.8mm. It is uncertain due to the adher…

Description: Roughly rectangular flat gold bar, tapered and cut at both ends. This has apparently been hammered at both ends, as it has tapered vertically towards both ends, while also expanding sideways. This may be a result of the cutting process, as a slight lip at each end suggests that the bar was cut most of the way through with an implement that was not particularly sharp, and then snapped off. Dimensions: 15.5mm (l) x 6 (8)mm (w) x 3mm (th). Weight: 3.89g Discussion: The original form of the bar is consistent with Anglo-Saxon ingots of the 7th century, including th…
