A bronze socketed axe, 78 metres long, of middle or late Bronze Age date was found by a resident of Crawcrook in Ryton. It was inspected at the Museum of Antiquities in Newcastle.

Four Roman coins were reported to Tyne and Wear Museums in July 1994. These four, along with a fifth already reported were reputedly found "within a pouch which subsequently disintegrated". Coin 1 - on the obverse face (front) is a bust facing right. On th ereverse (back) is the legend, G]LOR[IA EXERCITVS] .TRP, along with two standing soldiers flanking a single standard. This was mlinted in Trier (now Germany) in the period 335-341 A.D. This is a bronze coin in good condition. Coin 2 - on the obverse face is the legend, ]CONSTANTIUS AVG[, and a bust facing right. On the reverse is thelegend, [GLORIA EXERCITVS], and two standing soldiers flanking single standard. This bronze coin was minted in the period 335-341 A.D.

In November 1996 two members of the pubic from St George's Estate, Harraton, Washington brought an unusual Romano-British brooch to Arbeia Roman Fort for identification. The brooch is a chatelaine brooch, which originally would have had a small toilet set, consisting of tweezers, nail cleaner and ear scoop, suspended from it. These are now missing. The main part of the brooch, decorated with enamel of three colours, is in good condition. Brooches of this type date to the 2nd century A.D. They are extremely rare, just 15 other examples being known, only one of which was found in the North. Two from East Anglia closely resemble the Harraton brooch.

In June 2000, a stone head was found in a garden at Cyprus Gardens, Low Fell, Gateshead. It was inspected at the Museum of Antiquities, Newcastel upon Tyne and by Hedley Swain at the Museum of London. The head does not have classic Celtic or medieval characteristics so could be from any period, although it does have minor similarities with other examples which have been termed Celtic, including one from West Denton near Newcastle. The Celtic head it resembles most is one from Netherby in Cumbria held in Carlisle Museum. Hedley Swain suggested that, although crude, the Low Fell head probably dates to the first millennium BC or first half of the first millennium AD.

A silver, long cross, clipped penny of Edward I or II (1302/1327) was found in a garden in Front Street in 1985. On the obverse side (front) is EDWAR DIVS HYB, on the reverse is CIVITAS LANTOR.

A lead spindle whorl was found in August 1995 at a depth of 2 feet in a garden in Front Street, Tynemouth. It was decorated with a moulded fishnet and round knob design.

A circular stone-lined well about 30 inches in diameter was emptied to water level at 9 feet 6 inches in August 1995. It was located partly under the kitchen wall at the back of No. 23 Front Street, Tynemouth, and contained medieval potsherds and 19th century willow pattern pottery in a rich loamy soil.

Two Weardale gritstone discs were found on the south side of the River Wear in 1995. One was 17.5 inches in diameter and 3.75 inches thick and was roughly tooled. The other was 18 inches in diameter and 4 inches thick with very rough cross tooling and a secondary hourglass hole pierced towards the edge as though its secondary use was as a weight. Both appear to be base quern stones of medieval date. They remained in the finder’s possession at Shiney Row {1}.

A bridge, possibly called Deanbridge carried a lane across Mill Dam. There are frequent accounts of 17th century repairs to this bridge. A wooden bridge crossing the Mill Dam is described by Hodgson as barely wide enough for one vehicle to cross. This bridge divided the town into the over and under dammers, "Fishergate" and "Panngate", emphasising the focus of fishing at one end of the town and salt making at the other. A bridge is shown on Richardson's map of 1768 and on Fryer's map of 1772. The bridge may have been preceded by or coexisited with a ford over the Mill Dam (HER ref. 1902).

A medieval brewery may have been located in the vicinity of a well known as Beer Brewer's Well at Waterloo Vale in the Mill Dam area. The well is marked on Richardson's plan. It was rediscovered during the rebuilding of the Mechanics' Arms Inn, circa 1900.
