Description: | A small copper alloy ingot of indeterminable age. The ingot is sub-rectangular in plan and section with irregular edges. It appears to have been cut lengthways and fine striations are present on all surfaces.The brassy colour of the ingot coupled with the black corrosion material in the cracks and striations suggests an alloy of copper. However, due to the undiagnostic nature of the find, it cannot be securely dated as being over 300 years old and as such would falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996 if made of a precious metal.The ingot is 30.5mm long, 12.5mm wide, 5.4mm thick and weighs 10.7g.
