Description: | Possibly Silver possible Metalworking Debris. Sausage shaped fragment of solidified melt of a dense white metal with black surface. The blackened appearance of the surface resembles that of a small possible ingot previously reported by this finder from nearby (NLM-930AB3), and of several similar objects noted at a detecting rally at Alford, Lincolnshire. In this case there is again nothing to suggest a date for this activity, nor to suggest the shaping of this fragment, nor even to disprove its accidental formation, as in a bonfire - recent silver items have been encountered nearby. The mass approaches four Scandinavian Viking Age units for the measurement of bullion (of 4.07gms); however, there is no sign of hammering or other shaping of this object. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1800.Length: 38.8mm, Weight: 15.79gms.
