but have only found one small ?flint tool? Should I hand this over to the Portable Antiquities Scheme?
Well, given my nagging at detectorists, I'm supposed to say yes!
But the reality is hardly any members of the general public do - about one in 60K a year - which makes it a ludicrously expensive public service or a ludicrously expensive public service to a hobby that's not allowed elsewhere, take your choice ;)
You could probably self-identify it by interrogating their database and take it to them if it seemed rare.
