Description: | Silver possible Ingot. Cast oval-ended lump the size and shape of a coffee bean, with a long (6.5mm) deep 93.3mm) slot in one side. The surface is black, either through corrosion or from a thick layer of paint or oil, though a scratch reveals dense white metal below. Similar objects have been reported from the vicinity (e.g. possible ingot NLM-930AB3), and a group were also severally reported at a metal detecting rally near Alford, Lincolnshire, in 2013. As well as ingots, it has also been suggested that these objects may be either primitive or ethnographic currency units. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1800.Length: 14.3mm, Width: 10.6mm, Thickness: 8.0mm, Weight: 5.46gms.
