Finds eligible for recording
Prehistoric stone tools and weapons, metal artefacts that date before circa 1650, and coins up to 1662 are eligible for recording on the database. Nondescript and irregular fragments of metal and badly worn coins are exceptions to this general rule.

Later finds are restricted to the following categories, so as to exclude material that would add little or nothing to existing knowledge. This list will be periodically reviewed, and users may submit new categories for consideration.
