Finds Day with the Portable Antiquities Scheme at Clitheroe Castle

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.  The 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: https://finds.org.uk/counties/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 the events pages for future dates and times.
