Treasure Trove Finds Day – East Lothian

Found an object? Not sure if it’s an old button or a Roman coin? The Treasure Trove Unit can help!

The Treasure Trove Unit from National Museums Scotland will be at the John Gray Centre identifying any and all finds you have discovered. Whether you have been metal detecting, having a house clear out, or stumbled across something you think might be important while out for a walk, this is your chance to get it formally identified by a member of the Treasure Trove Unit.

Please book a 15 minute timeslot, pack your treasure carefully and head to Haddington.

If possible bring along a completed Finds Reporting Form to tell them more about your object. They can help you fill these forms out on the day if required.

There is no charge for attendance at the Finds Day.

They can’t wait to see what you bring in.

While Dig It! takes every opportunity to ensure that this information is accurate, we advise that you contact the event organiser before attending the event to avoid disappointment. As “39% of transport emissions come from cars” according to Net Zero Nation, Dig It! also encourages you to walk, wheel, cycle or use public transport to arrive at this event if possible.
