   Finding the past

   Few hobbies combine collecting Roman artifacts, finding medieval coins, and discovering bodies. But that’s exactly what the very British hobby of mudlarking does.

    Mudlarking is a pastime that has made a comeback in the last few years in London. It involves going to the River Thames at low tide and digging in the mud for valuable objects. A person who goes mudlarking is called a mudlark.

    Mudlarking has its origins in 18th-century London. But in those days, it wasn’t a hobby at all. It was actually a way for many children – and those too old to be employed – to survive. This was at a time when there were hardly any bridges crossing the river, so most people caught boats across. Getting on and off the boats, people dropped things. These things were then found by mudlarks, the poorest level of society, who sold them to earn money, which would hopefully be just enough for a meal.

   Steve Brooker is a modern-day mudlark and has had this unusual hobby for 30 years. He’s found everything from glass bottles and clay pots to coins dating from Roman times right up to the present day. He says he has found many extraordinary things, but finding a human skeleton was particularly terrifying. He later found out the bones were 300 years old, but even so, it’s an experience he is happy he hasn’t repeated.

   Steve often goes to the river near where he lives, but on the day I met him, he accompanied me in my boat to the east of the city. Steve was excited because he hadn’t had a boat for a few years, and this meant he could reach an area where he hadn’t been for some time. “Getting caught out by the tide is a real danger,” Steve explains. He advises us, as he does with anyone he guides on the river, to watch for the water level and always have an escape route. We appear to be safe and our boat is our way on and off the Blackwall foreshore.

   Apart from a permit, the only tools required for mudlarking are a bucket and something to dig with. At 78°F, we are lucky with the weather, but even on rainy days one can find enthusiastic mudlarks by the water’s edge. “Every day, as the water level rises and falls it moves objects in the mud,” explains Steve. “So it’s possible to find really good things any time of the year.” Steve quickly fills his bucket with coins, Victorian pipes, old keys, and even a jar that he says came from an old food factory that used to be nearby. He knows exactly where to look and hardly has to dig at all. After an hour, his top object is a metal toy from the 1800s.

   Much of what he finds goes to local museums. “That’s what anyone who goes mudlarking usually does,” says Steve. Steve explains why the river mud holds such treasure. “It is anaerobic, which means it doesn’t hold air. Therefore, anything in it stays in great condition,” he says. “Once they are opened up to the air, however, their condition starts to break down, so mudlarking is all about keeping things that would otherwise fall to pieces.”
