Thames Foreshore Finds TFF held a photograph
competition in September 2023 entitled,
RIVER THAMES: END OF SUMME
The competition was open to all members of the
group and it was sponsored by REGTON,
with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places.
Guidelines:
- Photos must show the River Thames.
- Entries deadline:
Sunday, 29th October (British Summer Time Ends).
- TFF Admin Team judged the photos and selected 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners.
- Award of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes took place on Sunday, 3rd December at the Old Thameside Inn, London.
We also had the pleasure to have
fellow mudlark Graham DuHeaume
joining us on the day.
Graham has been a Thames mudlark
since the 1970s.
His experience and knowledge with
knives and blades (and their marks)
found on the foreshore of the
River Thames throughout the years,
led him to publish the catalogue
"The Queenhithe Collection".
I took the oportunity to bring along
a few of my Thames finds
to show Graham.
Graham kindly offered to take
my finds for analysis and
cleaning for a better preservation.
Some of the ivory and bone handles,
and blades, have been identified as
late Medieval and post Medieval.
I'm pleased to say that,
since the production of this video,
Graham has been in touch,
and sent me a few photos.
He has even managed to join one
of the handles and blades.
And the year 2023 brought some TOP finds from some of our members.
Here are some of the best finds from our TOP contributors.
