Our second Finds Programme took place in June and July 2025 at Fort Nelson, Royal Armouries, with veterans from the local Hampshire community.
Over the course of five weeks, our veteran beneficiaries learned key post-excavation skills while handling a variety of unique archaeological objects from the Waterloo collection, including cannonballs, musket parts, coins and even a navy button!
By the end of the programme, the Hampshire group had combined their archaeological knowledge with their military experience to uncover fascinating new insights about the objects in our collection.
