Working With Finds Liaison Officers
📝
Recording Your Finds
FLOs record finds to the PAS database — free, voluntary, and a vital part of the historical record.
🥇
The Treasure Act
Gold, silver and prehistoric base-metal hoards must be reported. Your FLO guides you through the legal process.
🤝
On Your Side
FLOs are not there to confiscate finds — building a good relationship helps the hobby and British heritage.
