Copper alloy possible ingot. A small cylindrical pellet, dark in its tint and like a guinea-pig turd in its size and form, with a U-shaped cut-out. Base metal possible ingots of this form have been suggested [by this reporter and few others!] to represent some aspect of a possibly Early Medieval system of bullion exchange, but none of the examples recorded to date have such a cut-out. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Medieval, 43-1500 Length: 15.5mm, Diameter: 7.8mm, Weight: 2.69gms

Copper alloy unidentified object fragment. Cast flat-sided object fragment with a curved or ogival edge on one side, all other edges broken. One side bears a sunken circle with a slightly more recessed inner order and a central hole, with a plain oval shape moulded in low relief and juxtaposed with the edge of the circle. The reverse bears a circular probably stamped panel apparently containing faint traces of an interlaced motif; the hole noted above lies off-centre but within the area of the stamped panel. The moulded parts might suggest a Roman date, though the interlace should be l…

An incomplete copper alloy figurine of unknown date. The figurine is zoomorphic, appearing to be the hindquarters of some unknown animal. The main body is relatively flat, having a rectangular cross-section. Just before the break, it is 4.14mm wide and 10.75mm thick, increasing in width to 4.43mm and decreasing in thickness to 9.55mm before the hindquarters proper. The legs are roughly triangular in shape and are flat against one another at different angles. There are no proper feet, just flattened bottoms of the legs. The tail is stubbed, likely due to have being cast that way. …

Lead alloy possible coin forgery. A flat pellet of solidified and inflexible lead melt, flat on one side but with a concave oval impression suggesting a grid-like pattern; patinated. This might be a fragment of debris from the casting of lead which has come into contact with textile while still fluid, which could only be dated to between the Roman and Post-Medieval periods. However, the northern part of Lincolnshire has also seen the frequent discovery of modern lead alloy forgeries intended to resemble Iron Age and Early Medieval coins. These have been produced in various ways,…

Small fragment of an unidentified object of uncertain but probably Roman to early-medieval date, made of sheet copper-alloy and decorated on one face with stamped or punched ring-and-dot motifs. It is roughly trapezoidal, with two long tapering edges, a straight edge joining these at the narrow end and an irregularly-shaped edge, which is more clearly an old break, at the wide end. It has become slightly bent along a transverse line near the middle, and a strip of surface metal has been lost along that line on both faces. The ring-and-dots seem to be randomly placed, although th…
