A fragment of lozengiform sectioned gold wire. Date: Unknown Report to H. M. Coroner on find of potential find of Treasure from Osmington, Dorset. 2013 T 218 Description Coiled fragment of gold wire with quadrangular section. Diameter 13.69 x 12.57mm; Thickness 1.87mm; Weight 1.9g. Identification It is not impossible that this fragment is ancient; however there are no diagnostic features and thus it is not possible to assign to any cultural or chronological context.

A piece of gold wire made from four strands twisted. The wire was made from 4 smaller wires (diameter c. 2.4 mm) twisted together in a clockwise spiral giving an overall diameter for the twisted wire of 5 mm. The wire piece weighs 7.24g and is 20mm long (unstraightened). The fragment appears to have been cut from a larger piece of wire at one end, although the other end appears to be a break. Analysis shows these wires are made of over 80% gold.

County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
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.

A complete gold walking cane ferrule dating from the late 19th century.

Object type: VOTIVE MODEL

County: Nottinghamshire

A small, slender, sub-triangular piece of gold sheet, probably a Roman votive plaque. The two long converging sides appear to have complete edges; the pointed tip is bent; and the base appears to be a broken edge. Four parallel and equally-spaced crease lines running at right angles to the long axis indicate that the object was probably folded and compressed and has, perhaps, recently been 'unfolded'. Despite the surface irregularities caused by the folding and unfolding processes an incised/ repoussé design is visible. It comprises a central rib with angled veining on either si…

County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A small fragment of gold, dished and decorated on the outside of the curve, possibly broken from some kind of vessel. The decoration appears to be a plant design, of probable late medieval date. The inner side is undecorated. The exact character of the object is uncertain. There is no reason to doubt that this object meets the 10% threshold required by the Treasure Act, or that it is more than 300 years old. As such it therefore qualifies as Treasure under the terms of the Act.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation Find awaiting validation
A circular disc of gold, with a hand cut 'milled' edge and a piercing through the central flan. The milled edge stands proud of the flan, more so on one side than the other. It is unclear what this item was part of or what it was used for; it might be part of a composite necklace or it may be part of a mount, possibly from a knife handle. It is likely to date after 1716, and therefore falls outside of the remit of The Treasure Act 1996.

Treasure case 2006 T430 Description Fragment of gold strip, embossed with four horizontal lines. In one corner there is a piercing, probably deliberate.
