As mentioned in a previous post I found what I think is a fragment of Bronze age copper bullion ingot. Found on the club dig a couple of weeks ago. Done a fair bit of research on the internet and have seen a few similar fragments on the UKDFD and PAS sites. Have sent some photos to the local FLO and wait for a reply. Thought I would post some pictures. I have given it a bit of a scratch in one area and it is  copper underneath all the weathering.

Update- FLO has just  e mailed me and would like to take the lump for testing and possible dating of the metal. Will let you know the results.

It looks like the bottom of a bronze age furnace as we have found similar pieces here ...the smooth part is piece lying against bottom of furnace hole ...
