Objects belonging to this hoard

Two silver ingots
The ingots are all roughly hemispherical in shape, suggesting that they had been formed by pouring molten metal into a sandy hollow. The analyses strongly suggest that the metal was either obtained from, or intended for, Durotrigan staters.

Copper ingot
