Description: | A cast lead, or lead alloy, palm guard dating from c1700 to c1900. The palm guard is broadly oval in plan. The palm guard has broadly D-shaped cross-section with a convex front and a flatter reverse (palm side). There is a circular depression, 18mm in diameter, slightly offset from the centre of the front. The palm guard has a cream/brown surface, although the grey of the metal is visible where there has been some loss of patination. This find is similar to palm-guards illustrated in "Detector Finds 2", Bailey, 1993, p65. The length is 84mm and the width is 52mm.
