 NEXT CLUB NIGHT: JUNE 21st FOR MORE INFORMATION ON WHERE WE MEET CLICK HERE web counter Behind The Scenes on Mudmen Here's a hilarious out-take that didn't make it into the final show. No idea why although I have to say this clip takes 'toilet humour' to an entirely new level. Thames and Field are a community of friends who Mudlark on the famous muddy Thames foreshore for our liquid past. Searching by eye, scraping or detecting, these websites are dedicated to our passion for finding evidence of our past history.
All of the artifacts you will see on these pages have been found by club members and almost all have been found by “eyes only” which involves no digging at all thus avoiding any damage to the foreshore. We are eco friendly finders of London’s liquid history and a mega friendly club too.  Thames and Field are one of the most prolific recorders of finds in the country for P.A.S. - The Portable Antiquities Scheme. These are recorded at each monthly meeting by Kate Sumnall our finds liason officer from The Museum Of London. Remember... don’t stash it... P.A.S. it! Your find is worthless without provenance so record it.   Our club is a place where novices Mudlarks and experts can get together and learn about this fascinating hobby. Even newbies will have a story to tell and are always welcome to come and join us. Especially after they have paid their club funds. We’ll be like best buds then.

MUD MEN Season 3 Production pics         -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Woolwich John's incredible Richard III Boar Mount  PAS reported in December last year Found on the Thames foreshore was this copper-alloy mount in the form of a boar, which was reported to the local Finds Liaison Officer. The mount shows the boar chained, collared and wearing a crown, and it has a crescent (presumably heraldic) above one of its legs. Michael Lewis, Deputy Head of PAS and Treasure said: "Badges in the form of a boar were ordered for use at Richard III's coronation (in July 1485) and also for the investiture of his son, Edward, as Prince of Wales (in September). However, it is not certain what the mount from London came from, maybe a piece of furniture or was used to decorate an item of leather once owned by a supporter of Richard III, or possibly even the king himself" You can see the full PAS record of it here         Steff's Bellarmine Top marks to Steffano. What a great job you did putting this back together and for the in focus pic too. The cartouche looks like it has an English lion and a crown. Bit more research needed on this one. Is this English made or perhaps made for the English market? Circa 1550-1650. Superb effort. Well done mate...  MUD MEN IN POLAND

A little bit of artistic license used here I feel as the foreshore seems to have completely disappeared. Still quite a mad visual. I reckon I'd be straight up to Mud God's elusive canon spot. Then again saying that I bet we still wouldn't find it!!
