I will put labels on for the instagram version of this video, so if you would like to see labels, check it out there!

I will update the comments here as I get more detail on what the treasures are. I know there is some pieces of tin glazed earthenware 17th to 18th century, some post medieval red ware, clay pipes. What treasures can you spot? Please tell me in the comments below.

I am doing a MA in medieval history and part of my project is exploring the London landscape. Mudlarking is a great way to explore London's history.

I hope you enjoy the images of these finds.
