This week we returned to the Thames Estuary. We went looking for tiny metal treasures and found some unexpected but amazing things (well to us haha) We found objects that tell tales of Kings and Queens. Join us mudlarking some amazing history!
We also craft some things with the items we found. One of which is the start of a new huge project :)
We have started a patreon page for anyone wishing to support us.
We also have a Ko-fi account, so if you wanted to support us by buying us a metaphorical cup of coffee it would be greatly appreciated xx

the essence of quietude in these frightened times. i find great solace in your work, enough to cause me quote Leonard Cohen: Suzanne takes your hand as she leads you to the river she is wearing rags and feathers from salvation army counters and the sun pours down like honey on our Lady of the Harbor she shows you where to look amid the garbage and the flowers there are heroes in the seaweed they are children of the morning they are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever while Suzanne holds the mirror...... (i hope i got that right......and thanks. i like judy collins rendition)

"Seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go Everything changes for the strangers on the shore" By American singer James Taylor, it's the chorus to his song, "Yellow and Rose". I have taken the words literally because they explain, so well, the things we find on the shore. The song is actually about the British convicts who were sent Botany Bay.

Lovely finds today, Ladies. That bead is beautiful and definitely my favourite find from today. Fabulous start to the K&C chess set. Could you use vulcanised bottle stoppers as pawns, maybe with a frozen charlotte or mini dolls head on top. Very enjoyable video with lots to keep me entertained on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks you.

@benknrobbers 2 жыл бұрын

on the corset thing. Modern military body armor properly worn, fits like a corset. The chest piece weighs so much that the only way to wear it without being completely miserable is to button it on and have someone else cinch it till it squeezes on your ribs. This takes some of the weight off of your shoulders, which otherwise hurt from having 15+kg of gear hanging off of them. being body armor there is zero stretch, so it's a balancing act between spreading weight, and still being able to breathe.

Garter belt held up stockings. I could use a lucky Pixie. The wide "Buckle" could have been from some sort of strap to be tightened over cargo. Trucks have modern straps of that sort. They may have had them on wagons.

Wonderful watching! Wonderful finds. Awesome dolls. Have you ever thought of making shadow boxes with wood and nails found whilst larking? You could make a different theme's for each box. Make different shapes and sizes, depending on what your displaying! Could even fancy a box up to display larger broken pieces of china with beautiful pictures. Just my thoughts! You could do ceramics on the boxes with broken pieces, tiles or stock down pretty paper to cover the top and each shelve!

I'm not an expert but I think the changes in tides and storms (amongst other things, I'm sure) erode certain areas and then drop all of the bits that weigh the same in the same place. Tom Burleigh mentioned he has observed this phenomena too.
