In March 1889 the Free Library Committee of South Shields exhibited at a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle, "the base, 110 mm in diameter, with portions of the sides, of a bronze skillet of the Roman period, found on the Herd Sands, South Shields. The bottom is ornamented by several concentric rings...". It was found in the same spot as an inscribed patera (HER no. 911).
