- **Event Name**: Metal detecting in the Upper Wreake by Phil Harding
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 15 May, 2019 at 06:30 pm – Wed, 15 May, 2019 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Phil has been metal detecting in Leicestershire for almost 30 years, working the fields alone and supporting formal archaeological investigations.  He has recorded 2,700 objects on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database, with the greatest possible detail captured for everything.  In this talk examples will be given of spatial and temporal analysis to demonstrate the insights that thorough recording of finds can bring.  These include evidence for shifting settlement patterns, changing activity over time, and some special objects with their own story to tell. 

Phil’s background is in Biology and he retired from the Environment Agency 2 years ago after 40 years as a professional scientist.  However, over the years metal detecting has drawn him into a deep fascination and involvement with Archaeology.

All are welcome; the price for non members is £2.00 (pay on door).
