Under the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) in Britain, a Finds Liaison Officer (FLO) is a professional who works within the scheme to record and identify archaeological objects found by the public. FLOs act as a crucial link between metal detectorists, the general public, and archaeologists, facilitating the recording of finds and providing advice on their handling and preservation.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the FLO's role:

• Identification and Recording:
  FLOs are trained to identify and record archaeological finds, ensuring that valuable information about the object's history, function, and location is preserved.
• Advice and Support:
  They offer guidance to finders on issues like proper storage, conservation, and understanding the Treasure Act, which governs the reporting of certain finds.
• Liaison and Outreach:
  FLOs build strong relationships with local metal detecting societies and other groups, promoting public awareness of the PAS and encouraging participation in the recording of finds.
• Data Management:
  They contribute to the PAS database, which is a national repository of archaeological finds, allowing researchers to analyze the data and gain a broader understanding of the past.

In essence, the FLO serves as a bridge between the public's discoveries and the archaeological community, contributing to the preservation and understanding of Britain's heritage.

We need something like that here. IMO

95f in Laughlin NV today. Going to try hunting the river today. That water is brutally cold!

High of 82 here and most creeks are spring fed so water is always cold.
Good luck out there

Got out to the school I always metal detect. Found a lot of change and odds and ends. Best I did for the day was a weird looking silver ring that has diamond chips in it. Found a random 10 Euro cent and a 1953 wheat cent. Not such a bad day.
