A mudlark has described his incredible array of finds along the tidal edges of the River Thames, including Roman hair pins, ancient coins and even dead bodies.
Mudlarking, where people comb through the centuries of objects large and small that have been discarded or washed up on the river’s banks looking for historical treasure, is rapidly growing in popularity.
Architect and expert mudlark Jason Sandy says he fell in love with mudlarking after watching a TV documentary and finding his first clay pipe in the riverside mud the next morning.
