Since it started in September 1997, 13 years ago, the Portable Antiquities Scheme has generated 383668 records containing information on 544432 objects discovered by members of the public, most of them through artefact hunting and collecting with metal detectors. In that period 17068 people have been “involved”, that is 1288 people a year. There are now 1171 user accounts made by members of the public who have reported finds to the Scheme. Real "bang for buck".
