Mudlarking 87
Feb. 3rd, 2026 07:37 pmI can't believe I've been mudlarking on 87 days!
It was lunchtime and I arrived at the foreshore just before low tide. There were a group of people who walked up and underneath the wharf. I weren't sure if they were mudlarks, although at least one person was wearing gloves. The easiest way to spot other mudlarks is wellies.
Then after that there were a few tourists about. Much easier to spot, no wellies, no gloves, picking things up with their bare hands.
I stumbled across a very large but sadly no longer living crab.
Finds included a stripey stone, a piece of Metropolitan Slipware and a piece of a Bartmann jug.
