Take part in a family-friendly Archaeology Day at the National Museum of Rural Life.

Meet the team from Treasure Trove Scotland and find out all about their work to investigate and assess new archaeological discoveries.

Learn about some of the latest finds in Scotland, then try your hand at metal detecting with our hands-on family activity. Can you find the hidden treasure?

If you have found a real object that you think could be of archaeological significance, you can also book a free appointment to have your item assessed by the Treasure Trove experts.
