Every year many thousands of archaeological objects are discovered, many of these by metal detector users, but also by people whilst out walking, gardening or going about their daily work.
There will also be displays of finds made by local metal detectorists who will be pleased to tell you about their finds and how they work alongside The Portable Antiquities Scheme.
