White metal strainer fragment. A scrap of thin sheet metal with a curving edge along its longest side, torn elsewhere, bearing five concentric rings of tiny [diameter 0.4mm] holes. This might be from a strainer for wine or tea, and is quite possibly another example of Victorian silver, a material which often found its way onto the fields despite the intrinsic value of the metal. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900 Length: 23.4mm, Width: 13.2mm, Thickness: 0.5mm, Weight: 0.24gms

Lead alloy, leaf-shaped, possible pendant. Crafted from a sub-triangular 1.7mm thick sheet of lead-alloy contoured on its lower edge into leaf serrations matched by corresponding veins engraved on the surface. The apex of the upper body is pierced by an oval hole presumably for suspension. The reverse is undecorated. Locally made, it lacks features that are diagnostic in terms of date, but given its white-metal construction, and therefore original appearance, it perhaps mimics more elaborate silver examples such as SF-77C9E5 and LIN-59D105 which date to the late Medieval to early Post…

Modern white metal and layered chalcedony hinged bracelet. No assay marks so probably white metal rather than silver.
