A complete lead post-medieval token/counter. It is a sub-circular shape and both faces are stamped with multiple, irregularly placed, crude W-shapes. Interestingly a similar token in copper-alloy, also bearing multiple W-shapes, had been recorded with the PAS from north-west England: LVPL-2A807A. The style of lettering suggests a post-medieval date, but the function of these objects remains unclear. Diameter: 33.51mm, thickness: 2.87mm, weight: 20.27g

Two lead post-medieval or modern whistles. Both are of simple cylindrical construction and one is largely incomplete, split lengthways. The complete example has a circular hole running through the centre and a sub-triangular notch cut into one face behind one end. Simple whistles like these are common finds and were usually crudely made on a small scale so are difficult to date, but are usally fairly modern. 1.

Object type: AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a copper-alloy possible Bronze Age axe. It is trapezoidal in shape, rectangular in cross-section and wedge-shaped in profile - tapering towards one end, which remains relatively sharp. There is a rough break across the opposite end and also probably along one side which is straighter than the other, perhaps indicating a deliberate cut. The surface is heavily corroded and these breaks are very well worn. Because of the damage and corrosion it is uncertain whether this is definitely a Bronze Age axe and if so what type of axe this may be. It should be noted, however, …

A complete lead alloy post-medieval miniature plate. The plate has a flat base and wide rim - c.6mm wide.
