You will be contacted by either a local Finds Liaison Officer or museum curator to talk about how and where you made the find. You’ll be given a receipt.
The Finds Liaison Officer or museum curator will then write a report on the find. Museums can express an interest in it if it might be treasure.
The coroner will then hold an inquest. You may be invited to the inquest, along with the site occupier and landowner of where the treasure was found, and given the opportunity to ask questions.
