Treasure case 2007 T575. A small spherical droplet of gold, measuring 5.5mm in diameter and weighing 4 grams. The surface is smooth and only slightly pitted. There is no decoration though some evidence for small hammer marks on the rod. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it can not be securely dated to pre-1707 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.

A gold object, probably a distorted finger ring of uncertain date. Curator's report: A strip of bright yellow pitted gold that has been bent six times forming three rough (un-unintended) loops. The edges of some sections appear to have been worked, being slightly rounded. Discussion: This strip of gold is long enough to have fitted round a small finger but there are no diagnostic features that could provide a date. Conclusion: Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it can not be securely dated to pre-1708 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996 …

Circular domed object made from gold, consisting of a circular back sheet, an incomplete filigree collar, and a domed upper sheet. The back sheet is 13.0mm in diameter and was probably originally flat; it is now very slightly concave, around a flat rim underneath the narrow flange running around the domed upper sheet. There are several small indentations, as if the back sheet has been poked repeatedly by a sharp point. There is one tiny circular hole close to the edge and, directly opposite and close to the edge, a tear perhaps through a second hole. The surviving hole is c. 0.6mm in …

  • Thumbnail image of LEIC-9F1BF3

Record ID: LEIC-9F1BF3
Object type: RING
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Leicestershire
Workflow stage: Published Find published
A thin gold ring shaped object, with ornate spiralled design and oval lilac stone setting. Dark areas indicate that this object could consist of gold leaf over another material. This may not have originally been a finger-ring; the material is extremely thin, too thin to conceivably be used to construct a finger-ring. It is indicated that the item has been straightened and glued, making identification difficult. The object is not in its original state and so identification in the current condition could be misleading and therefore there is no evidence to date to pre 1711.

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published Find published
Treasure Case 2012 T338: Gold Droplet from Brailes, Warwickshire. Casting waste, comprising a complete amorphous droplet of gold or gold alloy. The droplet measures 14.77mm long, 8.37mm wide and 6.71mm thick, weighing 5.1g. Iron Age coins have been recovered from the same farm (Treasure Case 2012 T726), and it has been suggested that gold such as this 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.

Gold pendant, circular with two suspension loops at top.

The edges similarly keyed for enamel with scrolling foliage. The back is decorated with enamel white, green, black and red with a design of a bird in foliage. This pendant has been reassigned to me by the medieval and the modern curators in this Department. I cannot place it in my curatorial area and would suggest that it is either orien…

Description: The find consists of a tiny, irregular, flat fragment of molten gold; width, 6mm; weight 0.3 grams. The fragment is undiagnostic and undatable, so does not qualify as Treasure under the stipulated criteria of the Treasure Act.

County: Buckinghamshire

Short length of gold strip, probably deliberately broken.In the absence of archaeological context it is not possible to assign this to any particular date or culture and is best regarded as an undiagnostic fragment. It is noted that two Middle Bronze Age ribbon torcs were found two fields away (2009 T435). The widths recorded for them are less in both cases. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it cannot be securely dated to pre-1710 and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996 Gillian Varndell
