    Mudlarking on the Thames is on my bucket-list. I am determined to go at least once before I die. So, so cool.

    A thousand thank-you's, Nicola, for interviewing, making the video on site, editing, etc. So glad you were there to share with the rest of us.
    Hearty thanks to all the mudlarks who shared and to the crew that put it all together -- especially Monika, Marie, and Jason. Kudos to ALL!

    I'm so sorry that I missed you on the Sunday Nicola, I was displaying my finds on the Saturday and was on the next table next door to Rob.
    It was lovely to see the Sunday displays on your video too I know that there was only a couple of display switches during the weekend.
    I think my onion bottle left some tiny iridescence glitter behind on my table but as I was saying to Monika it was nice to be amongst many mudlarking friends and like minded people catching up on the different and new finds from the Thames foreshore xx

    While watching a video about the excavations at Jamestown (the first English colony in the US) a man pulled out from a well a nearly intact Bartmann jug. The narrator didn't even say anything about this particular find. It turns out that they found many broken Bartmanns there in Jamestown. I thought you might enjoy knowing this. 😉
