Description: | Cylindrical copper alloy ingot with circular cross-section. The object gently tapers from a wider end terminating in a flat angled surface to a rounded, slightly narrower, opposite end. On the wider end there is a small area of abrasion where material was removed for testing by a jeweller before the object was submitted as Treasure. The surface of the object is pitted and slightly worn.X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface identified the metal as an alloy of copper with a few percent of zinc, lead, and tin. There was no detectable precious metal content.The object does not contain precious metal, therefore it falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act (1996).
