12 Six Stuivers and 3 fragments

19 bottle base fragments, 2 brick fragments & 1 purple glass base

1: Radio component - Heavily eroded. Rectangular aluminium faceplate hold as large (29 mm diameter) chisel grip turning dial and metal node with two screws. Behind the faceplate, inside a heavily eroded aluminium box is a large amount of electrical wiring. Two black metal plates hold six metal screws, each of which is then attached to two strands of electrical wire which are all bundled inside the box. The plates sit atop two circular mechanism which correspond to to the turning dial and node on the faceplate. At the base of the aluminium box are two large circular and hexagonal couplings, one of which has a small amount of twisted electrical cable attached. The artefact shows interesting preferential erosion in which the aluminium acts as a sacrificial metal.
2: Metal plate - small, broken section of black metal plate. It has two small holes next to each other, but they appear to be caused by erosion rather than designed as screw holes. Unclear where the plate fits into primary artefact.
3: Metal plate - Triangular shard of aluminium plate. Heavily erode, clearly from aluminium box.
4: Electrical wire - shot length of electrical wire from inside aluminium box, bent back on itself
5: Screw - Small screw with a hexagonal head, and two washers attached halfway down it’s length.
