Did you know that thousands of archaeological objects are discovered every year by people going about their daily lives? Have you found something that might be archaeological? Whether you’re a metal detectorist, fieldwalker, mudlark, or simply someone digging in the garden—why not bring it along to the Finds Liaison Officers from Portable Antiquities Lancashire and Cumbria to discover more. Our brilliant Finds Liaison Officers can help identify and record your discoveries.No booking required.
The British Museum’s Portable Antiquities Scheme records archaeological objects found by the public to help “advance knowledge of the history and archaeology of England and Wales.”
