Description: | TREASURE CASE 2010 T151 Post Medieval Cuff LinkDate of Discovery: Early October 2009 Circumstances of discovery: Whilst searching with a metal detector. Description: Post Medieval damaged silver octagonal disc from a cufflink. The disc has a stamped right facing bust of Queen Anne (1702-1714) between the initials AR. The reverse of the disc has a silver loop attached by solder. In its current condition, it measures 12.54mm by 11.39mm, is 3.01mm deep and weighs 0.57 grams. Discussion: The dates for Queen Anne (1702-1714) neatly straddle the 'over 300 years old' criteria of the Treasure Act (1996). Given this particular cufflink could date up to 1714, it is statistically more probable it is older than 300 years old, however the cufflink cannot be conclusively dated as 300 or more years old and as such it probably does not qualify under the stipulations of the Treasure Act (1996).
