Mudlarking in London with Jason Sandy
Join mudlark Jason Sandy @jasonmudlark on a beachcombing trip to some of his favorite spots on the River Thames, where he finds treasures buried for centuries in the London mud. He also shares some of his favorite pieces in his extensive collection of finds from prehistory through modern times.
You can watch Mudlarking in London with Jason Sandy and replay the live chat with Jason and everyone who watched the premiere on YouTube.
After watching this video you are going to feel like you have just come back from a trip with Jason to his favorite spots on the Thames Foreshore — minus the mud! This is a video event that beachcombers will not want to miss. Jason brings you along for the moments when he digs up some truly spectacular finds.

Good afternoon,
I just discovered your video and I enjoyed it!
I spotted a colourful bead in your display (oval in shape and with stripes) and I was wondering if this was a ‘slave bead’.
