Have you got finds or archaeological objects you've found metal detecting, mudlarking or just out and about?
Want them identified and/or recorded to help build a bigger, better understanding of our past? The Finds Officer will be at Dover Museum on Friday 11 April.
Pre-booking essential – please book your appointment here
Please note:
- There is a limit of 10 finds (not including treasure).
- All finds MUST be bagged separately with findspots (NGR or What3Words) included.
- Lead can only be taken in if bagged separately.
- The session is run by Kent County Council’s Finds Liaison Officer, not by the museum.
The Portable Antiquities Scheme is run by the British Museum and Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales to encourage the recording of archaeological objects found by members of the public in England and Wales. Every year many thousands of archaeological objects are discovered, many of these by metal detector users, but also by people whilst out walking, gardening or going about their daily work. Finds recorded with the Scheme help advance knowledge of the history and archaeology of England and Wales.
