Silver possible watch winder. A composite object with three linked and formerly adjustable components linked by tiny [diameter] 4.2mm] ball joints. A central round-section bar has a medial collar flanked by waisted shanks, each expanded at its outer end. The ends each receive - whether as separate or integrally cast elements is uncertain - a spherical component with a slot occupied by a thin hinged lug whose surface matches that of the spheres. At one end, this would permit the movement of a plain hollow tube of internal diameter 1.5mm and with wall of 0.7mm thickness. At the other en…

Description: Two fragments of an apparently silver mount, probably from a vessel. The mount is made from thin silver sheet, and consists of a long corrugated band with a scalloped lower edge. Four pendant scallop shapes survive, two still attached to the band; each one has a punched aperture of diameter 1.4mm, probably for attachment to the edge of the vessel. The larger fragment retains part of the straight band which is decorated with five parallel ridges apparently pressed from the back and with hollow reverses; the central ridge is broader than the rest. One end of this band …

Treasure referece 2018 T367: silver possible vessel mount fragment. A curving fragment possibly from the rim of a vessel or a vessel mount of estimated rim diameter 70mm; this might be apt to decorate the mouth of a drinking horn. The rim is flat-topped, and there is an apparently internal rim along the base of the fragment, where it appears to have been neatly cut. Both ends of the object are torn, probably in the course of the translation of the object to bullion. The object has no dating evidence itself, but is from a known Early-Medieval productive site and is probably evidenc…

Tightly folded up silver band, now in two pieces. The larger part of the band is tapering towards one end, although the tip of that end broke off in antiquity. The other, wider end is where the smaller, separate part of the band snapped off recently. The larger part of the band is decorated with punched dots framing the edges and running in an arching pattern across the band. Two faint, incised lines are inscribed into the dotted arches. The use of the band is unclear. Its original length as well as thinness make it unlikely to have been a finger ring or similar. …

Silver and copper alloy unidentified object. A disc of cast silver sheet of thickness 0.2-0.6mm and diameter [originally probably greater than] 15mm and in its form resembling a worn coin flan, which is firmly attached to the end of a square section copper alloy bar of scantling 4.6mm by 4mm;the bar is broken at the edge of the silver disc. This might be from a brooch or other fitting which used a coin flan for decorative effect, though no parallels for this form are known to this reporter. Suggested date: Unknown, Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1280-1800. Diameter: 15mm, Weight: 1.63gms

Silver unidentified object fragments. Two fragments of beaten silver sheet of thickness 0.2mm with a plain zone at one end and a stamped or pressed pattern of close-set parallel wavy lines occupying the larger extent of the surface on one side only; both fragments have straight cut edges, indicating some deliberation in their reduction to this sorry state. The regularity of the textured surface may suggest machine manufacture or finishing. Two fragments became three in the course of their recording. Suggested date: Post-Medieval,1800-1900. Length (largest piece): 23.2mm, Weight: 0.43gms

Silver unidentified object. A small, probably cast, flat-sided annular object, resembling a cog with a series of twelve rounded 'teeth' interrupted by a short [3mm] straight bar. This might have been taken to indicate the loss of another tooth or two were the central aperture not also slightly expanded towards the bar, which is its only departure from an otherwise circular form. The finder kindly reports that his own tests [of an unspecified nature] suggest the object to be silver gilt. The fine modelling might point to a mechanical function, but the gilding carries across the 'teeth'…

Silver unidentified object. Fragment of a cast round section rod with two or more circumferentially incised bands of width 0.5mm which may retain inlay traces. Both ends are indented by up to 0.7mm, and there is a deep gouge in one side. The black surface and density may suggest this to be a fragment from a bead-like object made of silver, though the object lacks a stringing hole. The decorative inlay of silver objects is characteristic of the Middle Saxon period, though the condition of this fragment vitiates further comment. Suggested date: possibly Early Medieval, 700-850.

Silver unidentified object. A fragment of dense dark tarnished metal, apparently melted with a cavity on one side; a scratch shows bright white metal. This is probably an object which has been melted, perhaps accidentally in a bonfire. The recovery of discarded objects and fragments of silver, particularly those ascribed a 19th-century date, is surprisingly common given the intrinsic value of the material. Further comparisons may be made with those small dark pellet-shaped objects of base or white metals identified [by this reporter] as possible ingots. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1900…

Silver unidentified object fragment. A pair of thin [0.3mm and 0.04mm] circular fragments of silver sheet or foil, pressed together - whether they are also soldered together is both unknown and un-investigated. The thicker fragment is plain save for a stamped rectangular panel bearing the numerals 80 in modern style. The thinner fragment is smaller, and has a serrated edge and a surface which appears stippled. The thin or very thin sheet is typical of Victorian silver scrap, and this is a further example of the peculiarly frequent deposition of silver as fragmentary items discarded wi…

Treasure reference 2018 T382: Silver unidentified object fragment. Cast fragment from an openwork object in the form of a tendril with a pair of lightly veined heart-shaped leaves, broken at both ends. Low relief detail is carried onto either side of the object, making a function as a mount less likely than would otherwise be the case. An early medieval date should be considered, as the object comes from a group including quantities of dismantled Middle Saxon metalwork. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 750-850. In view of the suspected age and material, the object is to be submitted to …

Probably copper alloy toilet spoon. Cast double ended implement with a barley-sugar twist to the mid-part of its square-section stem. At one end a narrow [10.7mm] thin concavo-convex leaf-shaped bowl is set at the end of a flattened part of the stem. At the other end it is flattened and expanded to form a thin flat spatula. Now bent into an angular loop. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410. The object was initially identified as being made of silver. However, during recording, examination of magnified views suggested the object was plated with, rather than being made of, silver or oth…

Silver thimble fragment. Probably machined thimble with a foot ring with a plain zone above and closely spaced oval pits in diagonal lines ascending leftwards, probably occupying two thirds of the wall. A set of worn hallmarks in the plain zone includes an anchor denoting the Birmingham assay office but the year stamp is illegible.
