Description: | Iron and copper alloy possible pin fragment. Iron probably round section shank and an expanded head which includes decayed copper alloy in a greater mass of ferrous corrosion. The tendency of iron to expand as it rusts has concealed, and possibly even exploded, the object. It is suggested this may be the upper part of an iron or steel shank with a decoratively sheathed head; the poor state of the ferrous components may argue it is of some age. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Length: 24.1mm, Diameter: 17.1mm, Weight: 9.57gms.
