With my girlfriend today search for just about anything in a stream near the Ohio river when she just casually pulls this up. I haven’t even found a whole ceramic never mind a ring!! So grateful she had the opportunity to find this though and maybe she will pass the luck to me
Secateurs for scale! Found while gardening at a client’s Georgian house. Lots of interesting finds here — pottery, pipes, glass — but this one has me stumped. It’s heavy, looks and feels like stone. There is a folly in the garden made from medieval stonework, could it be something to do with that? Or some weird natural splat?
This was found in the silt of a river bed, close to the estuary into the Forth River. It's about 5.5/6inches long. Could anyone shine some light on it's possible purpose or age? The area has had a lot of ship and fishing traffic for a few hundred years, so wondered if it's something to do with sailing?
I hope this is alright to post. If not, sorry mods, please delete!
I recently came across a mudlarker and artist, who makes jewellery with some of her finds. I bought a necklace with a piece of 18th century bone toothbrush on it! I don't personally know this person and I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but I thought I'd share her site, in case anyone is interested :D
More interesting finds from a pond I’m digging on my farm. Everything came from a shell/sand layer between 5’ and 12’ deep. We’re about 10 miles from the coast. I’m not a shell guy but I just think it’s amazing that these shells are so well preserved after so long.
I don't even do this as a hobby (well not on purpose) but I do a lot of digging, and I usually find pieces of ceramic and glass. The ceramic is always white. WHY??? I would think maybe because those two materials don't decay in soil so a kind of “survivorship bias” but why is there SO MANY OF THEM? Did people used to mix glass and ceramic into soil for good luck or something? Do I live on the former site of a fine china and glass factory??
Saw this beauty sticking out the bank while doing some fishing in Wilmington, NC. How about this error bottle. It says wilmington, W.VA.
Today happens to be America day, but I live in Canada so I didn't really care, anyways I was sifting through dirt in the backyard and found this American one cent coin. So I thought that was a pretty cool coincidence so I put it here. I had to turn up the brightness on the camera because the coin was practically black. This picture was taken in full sunlight. Crazy how coins can go from shiny silver to… this. I tried to take some of the black off with vinegar and baking soda, but it just turned purple.
Glorious day. Any info on the figure or any other pieces appreciated greatly. I have a vague idea of the history of some. Any knowledge or ideas are welcomed with appreciation ❤️
I love the water and what she offers.
I would love to see what the whole piece is supposed to look like
