Silver with a lead filled back. Hence Treasure plus artifact over 300 year old !
Treasure is— (a)any object at least 300 years old when found which— (i)is not a coin but has metallic content of which at least 10 per cent by weight is precious metal; |

Hard to imagine someone wearing that sort of outfit gallivanting round the Warkworth area!

Warkworth in that era was the main seat of the dukes of Northumberland ,they would have posers there on a saturday night flouncing from the Bull to the Sun then to the Masons for a lock in!

They would be more than flouncing when the rough boys tipped in from Ambel

If you read the header ,you will see what is happening to the Item, after just on 12 months I had the BM result , no valuation as it was not required by any Museum so was with agreement of finder returned to the land owner! for display in their Antiquities collection , as finder the monetary value of the item was secondary !
