Most notably, a solid silver-coloured ornamental teapot was recovered. Most unusually, an antique solid sterling silver rabbit rattle with a mother of pearl handle was recovered, and on its own is thought to be worth a considerable amount of money.

Dc Stephen Cross said: "Some of these items clearly mean something to somebody, and we are particularly keen to trace the owners of the teapot and rattle, which could possibly be family heirlooms. If you recognise any of the items pictured or described, please get in contact with us."
