Staff from the Lincoln City and County Museum will be identifying archaeological artefacts found by members of the public and answering any questions about them during a session each week.

The sessions, run by Lincolnshire County Council's education and cultural service, are held every Thursday at the museum, in Friars Lane, Lincoln.

Thomas Cadbury, part of the keeper of collections management, said: "We have always identified people's findings but we thought that it would be a good idea if we set aside a specific day for people to come in and see us.

"People are finding all manner of things as they walk through a field, in their garden, on the beach or with metal detectors.

"For us the real value is to see the broad range of things, to see the heritage of Lincoln and find things that ordinary people used to have."

People can bring in their finds to the museum curators between 9am and 5pm on Thursdays.

The service is free but curators are unable to give valuations.
