Jodi @squirmelia.bsky.social · 23/08/2026A pleasant walk along the Thames from Rainham to Purfleet. Concrete barges, marshes, Dracula, and warnings blasted out telling me I was trespassing. 250
Jodi @squirmelia.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I found my first real coin while mudlarking today at Folly House beach! It was a 1p! I was excited anyway. Previously I had only found the wrapper of a chocolate coin. 070
Jodi @squirmelia.bsky.social · 15/08/2026A fun day out with @subbrit.bsky.social! Dodged dragon's teeth, wandered through the woods, walked along a railway track and into the Golgotha tunnel. Visited a signal box, Elvington Heritage Centre and the Kent Mining Museum. 041
Jodi @squirmelia.bsky.social · 20/11/2025It's Thursday night and I'm dancing around the moon at the Museum of London Docklands, but I'm thinking about 25 years ago when on a Thursday night, I would have been dancing at the Dungeon. 050
Jodi @squirmelia.bsky.social · 16/11/2025I played London tourist and jumped aboard the HMS Belfast. A vat of fake peas, many dials, ladders to climb. 070

Jodi @squirmelia.bsky.social · 04/10/2025Three eyes I recently found on the Thames foreshore: 1. An eye from a bearded man on a Bartmann jug (16th or 17th century stoneware) 2. A pink eye, probably from a toy. 3. A mysterious blue eye, which could be a stone. #mudlarking 050
Jodi @squirmelia.bsky.social · 02/10/2025A mysterious metal object I found on the Thames foreshore, with "N P Brown" and "Prime" written on one side and "51" on the other. A token of some kind? What do people think? #mudlarking 030
