I had the foreshore to myself at Blackfriars, but the tide was coming in.

I found a sherd that said “Hooper” on it. Possibly from “Hooper Struve” that made stoneware ginger beer bottles, late Victorian.

I found a sherd that has a speckled appearance, which looks like there are tinier sherds on the sherd.

But the most exciting thing I found that day - a piece of uranium glass! It glows when a UV light is shone on it!

Mudlarking finds - 37

Uranium glass

(You need a permit to search or mudlark on the Thames foreshore.)
