According to a report by Eleanor Cox of the British Museum, is the partner of a matching object found at the site in 1935, during an excavation led by Herbet Maryon.

In a twist of fate, two of the young boys who found the treasure - brothers Sebastian and Luca Alderson - are the great-great grandsons of Joseph William Alderson, who was part of the 1935 team. The other boys were Joseph and Aidan Bell, and all four were taking part in the Altogether Archaeology project for the North Pennines AONB.
