Portable Antiquities is a brand that provides a range of products and services related to the discovery, reporting, and preservation of archaeological treasures. The brand operates under the framework of the Treasure Act 1996, which requires individuals in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland to report any finds of gold, silver, or groups of coins over 300 years old. Additionally, certain prehistoric base-metal assemblages and metallic objects over 200 years old that offer exceptional historical or cultural insight can also be classified as treasure.

Portable Antiquities offers guidance and information on what constitutes treasure, as well as resources for finders of potential treasure and their reporting obligations. The brand works closely with regional Finds Liaison Officers, who provide support and advice to individuals who come across potential treasure. Portable Antiquities also facilitates the valuation and reward process for declared treasure.

Although the brand does not operate in Scotland or the Isle of Man, it provides contact information for the respective authorities responsible for portable antiquities in those regions. With a commitment to preserving our cultural heritage, Portable Antiquities is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in archaeology and history
