Record history where you find it
A location, a photograph and a note can make a real difference. Take Fornspor into the field.

An object is more than its appearance
A findspot connects an object with its landscape and other evidence. Without a record, important context can be lost.
Fornspor is FORN’s recording app. It brings together finds, photographs and locations, with an overview of detecting trips.
Start with these steps
- Take clear photographs of the object and its context.
- Record the location, date and your observations.
- Separate observations from tentative interpretations.
- Contact the National Museum about possible antiquities.
A Fornspor record does not replace reporting a find to the National Museum. Avoid publishing precise locations when doing so could put heritage at risk.
