Finally, after numerous trips to the foreshore I found the elusive lead seals that others find often. I spent the whole low tide looking for pipes and china and glass, and when the tide had come up to where it was time to leave, I puttered around the last remaining shore looking at a muddy section of shore. And, just like that, my eye spotted these three little lead seals all within about a foot of each other. Only one is in decent shape, but one more thing now I can take off my list of wants.
I found the usual assortment of pipes, some of the older smaller bowl size. One in particular had a makers mark on the bowl, as set of double RR's and another a design of some sort.
I found a couple of clay hair spools, used to curl wig hair, actually just half of them. I guess they were early version of today's hair rollers.
Pictured is a few pieces of my favorite china fragments I scooped up. A nice bird fragment, two Asian faces, an Asian boat, and some colorful other pieces. One looks a lot like pearl ware with a yellow colorization.
and lastly I picked up another piece that I believe goes along with a shard I pictured last week. I'm still unsure as to what type of vessel it comes from. ( update..a marmalade jar )
Not a bad return to the foreshore. The tides weren't the best, the weather however stayed dry despite a definite cooling trend. The birds don't seem to mind, and they keep me company!
