Mudlarking - 32

[squirmelia]

The tide was already coming in and I had decided I am going to try to collect less and not pick up all the pottery sherds.

People asked if there were steps further on and I told them there were but the tide was coming in so they might not be able to get to them.

I found another square black tile, like the ones I already have.

I found a pipe bowl with a maker’s initials on - AC, my father’s initials. One day I’ll find a pipe bowl with my initials!

My shoes got messy. I am not sure what I stood in but that and the rain and the incoming tide and my ankles hurting meant I didn't stay long on the foreshore that evening.

I did pick up a piece of rather damaged combware and a few other sherds though.

Sometimes I pick up something I want to research but not keep, and then return it later. I find the object is more useful than photos. And you can always put stuff back.

True! I did take the teeth back.
