Whenever I find something in the mud I wonder who dropped it or discarded it years ago. Holding something in your hand that was last held in the 17th century is always a real thrill. During this outing with my friend Kevin @medwaymammalianmudlark I was fortunate enough to find some real treasures. I had a lot of fun researching them and was very happy to discover that one of the smaller finds is a trader's token. One of the coins has baffled me and I would welcome your help in identifying it!
If you wish to try mudlarking you do need a permit from the Port of London Authority. Keep an eye on their website to see when permits will be issued again:-
