I retrieved this old wine bottle buried In the Thames mud recently. It hadn't seen the light of day for at least a good century ( I think it's early 1900s). Several hours after I cleaned it a beautiful rainbow hue appeared, making it even more special #mudlarking #mudlark

I was due to visit the USA the following week & took the note & ashes in a new bottle with me so that Lorraine's Dad got to travel further than expected. The day I emailed Lorraine to tell her, also happened to be exactly a year to the day that her Dad had died #messageinabottle

Update on this gold ring found in the Thames. It almost certainly was created for Edward Garrett, buried 9 June in London & who left money to his family to create gold rings in his memory. Son of Sir George Garrett, 17th C politician & member of the Worshipful Company of Drapers

A solid gold memento mori ring, 1664, found last night on the banks of the Thames by friend & mudlark Mike (cuffs) Walker. Some examples still retain black & white enamelling on skull, or red for the eyes. Stunning & rare. Treasure & will be reported #mudlarking @ThamesDiscovery

I've now officially found my longest ever clay pipe in the Thames mud! All 34cm of it. It's in 2 pieces but it stuck together perfectly. Repaired pipe pic to come later #mudlarking #mudlark #claypipe

When I first found this piece of lead near Woolwich on a very low tide it was rolled up. When I unfolded it, it revealed a name in retrograde on one side. On researching the name an intriguing story also unfolded! See thread to find out more #mudlarking #mudlark
