The objects (No. 1-6) represent a single find of prehistoric base metal. The find therefore qualifies as belonging to a grouping of at least two prehistoric base-metal objects and, therefore, as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act (1996) (Designation Order 2002). | 3 | Copper alloy | null | Returned to finder after being disclaimed as Treasure | Metal detector | 2014-03-01T00:00:00Z | 2014-03-30T23:00:00Z | 2014T364 | null | null | null | null | null | null | 6 | Erica Darch | Erica Darch | Eastern | Norfolk | South Norfolk | Runhall | TG0608 | Generated from computer mapping software | 52.630643 | 1.042511 | NMS-7517F1 | null | 59739_7517F1_BA_Hoard_1and4.jpg | Bronze Age axe head | Norfolk County Council | Attribution License | ||
