People have told me this and similar sentiments when they see all the stuff I've dragged home halfway around the world. They might be right ( doubtful ), but I did manage to find a clay marble on my foreshore quest today! So, if they are correct, I'm one marble saner tonight!!
I did quite well snagging a bag full of pipes and pipe bowls, and securing the longest stemmed pipe to date!
and a few other odds and ends of interest. I think they are from drinking tankards and from skillets
Picked up a bit of Willow ware, good sized and will fit nicely into an upcoming mosaic
Off course no trip is complete without a picture of a bone or something grisly, here is a long ago butchered jawbone of something rather large!
I guess I will have to go back again to find the rest of the marbles I've been told I've lost!

Did you take the jaw bone home? - max
ReplyDeleteHi Tim,
ReplyDeleteWe met by the Thames on Nov. 5. My husband and I had fun! I had a great time! I found some bones too. Ribs and a large femur head! Lots of pipe stems, and bowls. Two of the bowls are complete with about two inches of stem. I think the best piece is the blue glass bottle bottom. Packed with hardened sediment and chips of pottery in the sediment! I had a great time even in the cold rainy morning! -- Michelle
The coarse earthenware longish things are probably pipkin handles, I've included a link to an early blog post on these
