An object, possibly a finger ring made from two strands of twisted silver wire of uncertain date. Two strands of silver filigree twisted together to form a hoop; one end has started to unravel.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Greater London Authority
Workflow stage: Published
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 …

An undiagnostic fragment of gold of uncertain date. This object was originally hollow and probably cylindrical but has since become crushed flat, it was probably originally a bead. The edges were probably slightly angled inwards. There is no decoration and the style of the object is undiagnostic. Although the object is more than 10% gold it cannot be positively identified as greater than 300 years old, therefore it does not fall under the Treasure Act 1996. Dimensions: length: 9.55mm; width: 9.87mm; thickness: 1.50mm; weight: 0.35g.

Gold pin of unknown date; the pin is slightly bent. The shank is circular in cross-section at the tip, the shank of the pin has a more flattened cross-section. The diameter of the shank gradually declines, towards the point. The head of the pin is roughly square, formed by a flattening of the shank, with a concave impression on one face. This object has been examined, at the British Museum, by the Prehistoric, Roman, Iron Age, Medieval and Post-Medieval curators. It is the consensus that this object cannot be securely dated to a specific period. Due to the undiagnostic nature of th…

A bone point which may date to the Iron Age (700BC - 100AD) or the late Early Medieval - Medieval (AD850-1300) but is essentially undateable. This bone point has been crudely worked on the long bone of an animal; one end has been roughly shaped to form a point. There is some evidence of wear on the point. There is no evidence of wear where the point would be held which is unusual unless it was used as a burnisher. The opposite end to the point is broken.

A cast copper alloy ring with iron core of uncertain date, probably Iron Age - Post Medieval. This ring has a circular cross-section with a solid iron core and a copper alloy outer layer. This outer layer is missing along a section of the ring revealing the iron core.

A white metal finger ring. The shape of the finger-ring is distorted, presumably as the result of agricultural activity while it was in the ground. The band of this finger ring has a rectangular cross-section. It is constructed from one length of silver wire which is bent round to form the band and then the ends overlap and curl around the band forming two slip knots. Dimensions: length: 23.21mm; width: 21.21mm; thickness of band: 1.76mm; weight: 2.70g.

Two gold interlinked bands, possibly earrings, of uncertain date. Curator's report: Two thin gold interlinked bands, rectangular in cross-section, tapering towards hook and eye terminals. Possibly earrings. Discussion: Whilst it is possibly older than 300 years and could therefore qualify as Treasure under the Treasure Act (1996), it is not diagnostic enough to assign to a particular type and period Dimensions: Diameters 7.5 and 9.0mm; Weight: 0.89g. Metal content: The object is made up of 84 - 87 % gold, 10-13 % silver, and 1% copper. Kate Sumnall
