Description: | A cast copper alloy fragment from a much larger object. The object is largely unidentifiable. The fragment is formed from a plate of copper alloy which now survives as a sub-rectangular shape with an irregular projecting extending upwards. The main part of the plate has two raised ribs, running parallel to each other. In between these ribs there are three surviving bosses. Each boss has been formed from a series of concentric circles, with a round knop on each pinnacle. The irregular projection also has a boss on it. The metal has been badly water washed and has therefore lost the original surface and corroded, forming some holes in the plate. The metal is a mid reddish-green colour. The object was pulled up by fisherman in circa 1992 off the coast. It could therefore be off a wreck of the Resolution a 70 gun man-o-war, sunk in a storm in 1703, near to the findspot.
