Meet with your local Finds Liaison Officer to discuss identifying and recording your finds.
This is a drop-in event, but we ask that you book a ticket, to help us prepare.
If you are unable to book a ticket, you are still welcome to attend - we will prioritise ticket holders, but we fit other people in whereever possible.
Please use the form that appears after booking to let us know of any finds you wish to collect. If anything changes, please contact us by email at least a week before the event.
If you are collecting finds, you must bring either the pink slip we gave you when we took them in, or official photo ID. We will not return finds without seeing one of these. If you do not have either, please contact us at least a week before the event so we can discuss a solution.
You can find out more about the Portable Antiquities Scheme at finds.org.uk.
