Finds identification days

Have your treasure finds identified at Guildford Museum on the second Saturday of every month

PLEASE NOTE: There will be no Finds Identification session on Saturday 11 June 2011.

Finds identification sessions will be held on the second Saturday of each month from 11.00am to 1.00pm and visitors are encouraged to bring along items found locally, often while out walking, or while digging in the garden.

Finds Liaison Officer for the Portable Antiquities Scheme, David Williams, will be able to provide advice on the importance of the find, its conservation and storage and how it relates to the Treasure Act.

If you have come across an archaeological find whilst out walking or using a metal detector, bring your find along for assessment and find out more about it. Pottery, flints and metalwork are all welcome, however, we do not provide information on fossils. Could that piece of metal provide a clue to Guildford's past? Bring it along and find out.
