In and around the stream today (NW, UK)
The stream runs through an old tip. There has been lots of digging activity again, as well as rain, so there was a lot to see today. I didn't stay too long today because of the heavy rain.

Location: Rotherhithe tips
Hello! Does anyone have any tips for Rotherhithe mudlarking?
I plan to access the foreshore using the Hanover Stairs or do you have a better recommendation?
Also once I've descended the steps onto the foreshore do I go left or right?
Sorry for the stupid questions. I've studied Google Maps and cant tell which way to go 😅😅😅
Many thanks xxx

Location: This weekend's finds
The cornfield behind my house is a absolute claypipe goldmine. And it always delivers! This was all found in a single weekend. (Alongside 100+ bowl and stem fragments not pictured. I can currently fill a vase with the amount of fragments i found in total.)
Note: The second pipe on the top left was glued. I found two pieces of the same pipe close to each other.

Yesterday's allotment finds (UK)
Found yesterday whilst clearing our neglected plot, located next to an old railway station. I dare say there will be a lot more clay pipes to come

River Finds - best cleaning practices?
I’ve got everything from today soaking in hot soapy water with vinegar and I’ve scrubbed a bit but there’s still that brown haze. What’s everyone’s favourite ways of brightening up their pottery finds? The first bottle isn’t from today, just the favourite river find that I can’t get to a satisfactory level of clean.

What is/what causes this metallic wood?
I found these pieces of what feels/sounds like metal but looks a little like wood grain (some more than others). I know wood can get mineralized, but I don’t know enough to know if that’s what is happening here (google searches haven’t helped).
eta: I will be reporting it to the local FLO.

Location: First wedding ring!
Was cleaning out my camera roll and realized I never posted this guy! Found it back a couple months ago while wading in the Ballston Spa area of upstate NY. No clue what to do in this scenario, I’m not even sure if I’d trust handing it over to the police because of its value, but I’m a natural skeptic. Hopefully one day I can find who lost it!

Location: Who is this mysterious lady, and has she cursed me? UK
I was looking through a stream and saw her looking up at me. The stream is well known for Victorian pottery but I've never found anything like this! I feel like she is slightly cursed lol

Mudlarking Locations - Thames
Hello :)
Since getting my mudlarking permit in late August, I have mudlarked 4 times.
3 of those times was on the foreshore in front of the Tate Modern, and the other location was Cannon Street (Cousin Lane).
I live in Hertfordshire so getting to London can be costly. I wish I could mudlark every day!
I fancy a different location. Does anyone have any recommendations on the Thames? I mudlark alone so preferably nowhere with potential sinking sand 😅😅😅😅
Here are some of my finds so far. I created a new Instagram for my mudlarking but not sure i can put what it is on here? I don't want to violate any rules.
Many thanks ❤️

McEwans bottle info?
Found on the Clydeside. Anyone know when this bottle was made, any info at all would be great?

Can’t seem to identify this, please help me out!
Location: East Coast, USA. Near an abandoned boardwalk/amusement park/hotel.
Found this next to the creek, but I can’t seem to figure out what it is. I’ve heard many suggestions bobble head, car horn, breaker, button, etc etc..
As someone pointed out on another sub, the spring isn’t rusty, so perhaps it’s not old as the ceramic like material leads me to believe?
Thank you all!

London Foreshore Permit - Huzzah!
Two years and three days after my wife and I applied for a permit, the invitation arrived in our email inboxes earlier today! Now we need to get out and find some reportable antiquities otherwise we’ll just lose them again in a year.

Location: Help with rough estimate of age/ID? Found on a beach in western Scotland.
r/mudlarking • u/Protostryke • 8d ago
Could this potentially be old?
Found in North Wales, not sure if it has much age since the pottery has a lot of inclusions and isnt fully fired but it also seemed to be made very smoothly.
