Modern gold finger ring, with openwork lozenge bezel set with a small stone. The circular band is plain and undecorated. The inside of the band has the hallmark 750 in lozenge / (five pointed star)18 AR in rectangle / CD in oval Both the 750 and 18 relate to the purity, which in this case is 18 carat gold. As the 750 is not accompanied by a crown, it makes the hallmark continental rather than British. No exact match for the hallmark could be found; the star is used by several countries on the continent, including Norway and Spain. The AR and CD could represent the assay office, o…

An irregular droplet of gold, measuring 13.57mm by 11.89mm by 6.85mm. Weight 6.83 grams. Date: Unknown Iron Age coins have been recovered from the same area, and it has been suggested that this piece of gold may have been connected with Iron Age gold working, such as coin production or recycling. However, a similar piece (2004 T408) was determined to be undiagnostic and undatable following metal analysis. As such, although the object has over 10% precious metal content by weight, the undiagnostic nature of the artefact means that it cannot be definitively dated pre1710 and as such…
