First time on the Thames foreshore - lots of clay pipes
After getting my permit from the PLA last week and checking tide times, today was my first adventure out on to the foreshore. I was there fairly early, just myself and one other person, but it got pretty busy.
I had my permit checked twice by two different groups with PLA lanyards on, to be fair the second group said that I didn’t need to show my permit if I had already been checked but I showed them anyway. It took two years to get it, I’m showing it off to everyone!
Lots of finds today; plenty of pottery, clay pipe stems and bowls, lots of tiles, many many nails, bits of glass, so many bones and teeth, and I found a coin! It was a pound coin, but I can still proudly brag that I found a coin on my first adventure. I left the bones and teeth behind.
The geese were extremely nosy and were peering over my shoulder at every opportunity. A great day out!
