Spent 1 hour on the Thames Foreshore. Only used my eyes & a flat stone to scrap in the mud. This is only my 2nd proper search & I got a broken hammered  Great feeling to find it with eyes only & bumps the total up a bit this year. Lots of Elizabeth I period hand made pins  (including my largest one found) An 1837 'To Hanover' medallion of Victoria.  Lots of typing blocks. And a small piece of Gold.... |

I have no idea, other than a piece of jewelry. If you look how many pins I found in a small area & times that by 10, thats how many iron nail were about (piles of them everywhere). Maybe you can see why a stone would be better than a detector in this case. |

You can only dig 3.5" on riverbanks? The fields aren't the same?  That is one thing I am thankful for in America...we can dig however deep we want. Keep the passion high! Kirk |

Kirk This By-Law only exist on the River Thames (I believe), it because of the amount of wealth that can be found. The interest in money & the longest standing club (mudlarks) with routes in the Victorian period, means its well protected. They have a close relationship with the British Museum & many of the clubs finds are some of the best in their display. So the Govt protects their rights to dig. Its a closed shop & no-one can enter the club without years of waiting. |

trust you to get a hammered in that situation  I know, I shocked myself. I had heard they come off the top but thought you would need hours & hours of searching. I get it in my second hunt!  |
