Wrexham Heritage Society
Wrexham Heritage Society is blazing a trail for responsible metal detecting! Over recent years CPAT has built up a good relationship with the Society,
it’s committee being keen that all discoveries made by members be reported to archaeologists and properly recorded. Through liaison between Jeff Spencer
of CPAT, Peter Reavill of the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Wrexham Heritage Society President Charles Cater and other senior society members a system
to record the artefacts unearthed during metal detecting forays has been put in place.
With funding from the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) Jeff is able to attend club meetings once a quarter to record details of the
latest discoveries and to help identify the more troublesome artefacts! Attendance is always good with about 30 members at the October meeting. Back at the
CPAT offices information and photographs of the finds are uploaded to the
PAS online database.
Over the last couple of months invaluable assistance has come from Mr Rod Trevaskus, a volunteer member of staff who is taking high quality photographs
of the finds and helping with the time-consuming task of entering details onto the PAS online database. We are very grateful to Rod for his time and
enthusiasm.
