About this Event
Have you found something that may be archaeological? You may be a metal detectorist, fieldwalker or mudlark, or just someone digging in the garden. We can examine your finds, as long as they are portable (something you can carry) and have been found, rather than purchased.
Appointments are 20 minutes and we can:
- Take in objects for identifying and recording
- In some cases, 'spot-record' a maximum of 5 items
- Return objects that we have borrowed
- Provide information on recording with the Portable Antiquities Scheme
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.
For accessibility information, please contact Blackburn Central Library via their webpage.
