I went searching for pottery shards on the Thames foreshore with Emma Bridgewater today. She turned out to be my lucky talisman! A 17th century Bellarmine bottle neck turns (half) it’s face to the light for the first time in 400 years. Perhaps I’ll find his beard when I go back next time. #mudlarking #mudlark #larking | London Mudlark: Lara Maiklem Mudlarking

Released from its muddy cocoon after almost 400 years. This Clay pipe was made at a time of civil war, puritans and new worlds, before the great fire swept through and destroyed the city. #mudlarking #mudlark #Larking | London Mudlark: Lara Maiklem Mudlarking

Handmade boxwood comb, c.16th century, beautifully preserved by the mud and found on the Thames foreshore last week. I’ll take my time drying it out and it should dry beautifully. #mudlarking #larking #mudlark | London Mudlark: Lara Maiklem Mudlarking

The river sorts by size and shape, and I found so many copper alloy, handmade pins in one spot this weekend. Likely to be 16th or 17th century, possibly earlier. #mudlarking #mudlarkingfinds #mudlark | London Mudlark: Lara Maiklem Mudlarking

I try to be kind to the foreshore. I don’t dig or scrape in search of objects, but sometimes I find things that are just emerging. If they are easy to lift free, like this comb which would have started to disintegrate if it had been left much longer, I might scrape around them carefully. #Mudlark #mudlarking #Larking | London Mudlark: Lara Maiklem Mudlarking

One of my favourite parts of hidden London, this mosaic runs beside Queenhithe Dock along the river path. It tells the story of the dock and the river from the city’s foundation by the Romans to the modern day. Look out for the pottery shards along the top that were collected from the foreshore nearby and correspond to the timeline of the mosaic. #Mudlark #mudlarking #Larking | London Mudlark: Lara Maiklem Mudlarking

SPOT THE FIND… See a pin, pick it up. It really is this easy to find handmade pins on the foreshore, all you’ve got to do is 👀 They date from around 1400-1800 and there are so many because in the past people were pinned into their clothes. They were used for making clothes and lace, babies were pinned into their swaddling and at the end of life corpses were pinned into their shrouds. Pin making was a huge industry and they were lost in vast quantities. Each one is handmade and they survive beca

Bert inspected his ancestor's handiwork (pawdiwork?) yesterday and, as you can hear, he was really rather impressed. Animal prints across roof and floor tiles, some of which date back to medieval and Roman times, are always a delight to find on the foreshore. #Mudlarking #Mudlark #LondonMudlark | London Mudlark: Lara Maiklem Mudlarking
