squirmeliaSunset was before low tide, so this was a short trip to the foreshore on a Saturday evening.
I found another vulcanite bottle stopper. This one says “F. Daniells Addlestone” on it. F. Daniells manufactured aerated mineral water in Addlestone from 1895 to 1909 so the bottle stopper is likely from then.
I found a piece of a jam jar that says “W.P. Hartley” and it's got a little bit of the lighthouse logo. I wonder what flavour of jam it contained.
I found a handle from something, a knife perhaps.
It was getting dark and I decided it was time to stop mudlarking as I wasn't able to see much. I instead turned on my UV torch and swept across the foreshore with the purple light. I did find a few tiny pieces of uranium glass that glowed brightly. It may be “custard glass” as without UV it looks kind of white. I am not going to lick it to see if it tastes like custard.
(You need a permit to search or mudlark on the Thames foreshore.)
