Portable objects are covered by various protection measures. The Treasure Act 1996 (applies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland) which came into effect in September 1997 defines 4 categories of treasure. A revised [code of practice|http://www.culture.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/C1027393-6D96-4B2A-86EF-DC1021117190/0/Treasure_Act_P0164.pdf] was issued in 2002. Objects covered by the Act must be reported to local coroners, and to encourage the reporting of objects classed as treasure, the market value of the find is paid to finders or landowners. Finders of metal objects not considered treasure and other archaeological objects from non-scheduled sites are encouraged to report their finds under a voluntary scheme, the Portable Antiquities Scheme. This has established a national network of Finds Liaision Officers (FLOs) in England and Wales, based in museums or HERs ([www.finds.org.uk|www.finds.org.uk]). FLOs provide a point of contact for finders in each area, as well as liaising with metal detectorists and HERs. Objects that are fixed to listed buildings are also protected under the legislation for listed buildings. English Heritage has publshed guidance on portable antiquities in relation to its own sites, funded projects and scheduled monuments Our Portable Past (English Heritage 2006).
