Record ID: SUR-75E460
Object type: WIRE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: 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.

The ferrule is sub-rectangular and appears to taper in slightly towards the base.
The ferrule would have originally been tubular; however, it has been compressed, and is now almost flat. Th…

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: 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
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.
