Mudlarking 90
Feb. 10th, 2026 07:35 pmThere were a few other mudlarks on the foreshore at low tide, and I was late, so felt like I'd missed all the good things.
But! I did solve the mystery of my previous find, which people had guessed was grapeshot or milling balls or sheep poo! It's kind of concretey, and the concrete must have broken away, leaving just the balls.
There were crab legs on the shore which made me sad.
I found a few tiny pieces of Westerwald.

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