Finds Day with the Portable Antiquities Scheme at the museum
Have you found something that might be archaeological? Why not bring it along and find out more.
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.” You can explore finds recorded in Lancashire here: Lancashire Artefacts and Coins
Can’t make it this time? Don’t worry—the Finds Liaison Officers will be returning throughout the year. Keep an eye on our events pages for future dates and times.
