Collection of artifacts is prohibited on the Virginia barrier islands. However, if you find an artifact, please take a picture and GPS coordinates on your phone if you are able. Artifact pictures and coordinates should be emailed to Mike Clem, the Eastern Regional Archaeologist for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (email: mike.clem@dhr.virginia.gov).
