Finding the Past e-mail

This website shows a sample of metal detecting finds made by myself, Dr Patrick Brown, on farms near Ross-on-Wye.

For each farm I detect I run a private website showing the historic finds. I also self record these finds on the British Museum's Portable Antiquities Scheme database. After recording I share the finds with the landowner.
