Old Timey toothbrush from late 1890s-early 1900s!

Why the need for so many bristles though?

sites in somerset (and tips)?

just had a disastrous first lark at severn beach, bristol. two hours and nothing but thick mud and rocks, even though other people have found pottery etc. there and it’s a known site. do we just need to train our eyes? any tips appreciated. also recommendations for other gems in the somerset/dorset area.

Good news! My 3D mapping and find-logging app (CoilTrail) is now unlocked globally 🚀

Hey r/mudlarking! 👋

​A user in my previous thread suggested I make a new post to update everyone, so here it is!

​A while ago, I shared a project I've been working on—an Android app called CoilTrail, designed to help track routes, log finds, and use 3D LiDAR/hillshade maps to spot old riverbeds and structures.

​At the time, it was limited to just a few countries. But after a lot of coding behind the scenes, I’m super excited to announce that CoilTrail is now officially unlocked GLOBALLY! 🌍🔓

​What this means for you:

-​Global 3D Hillshade & Satellite Maps: A new slider lets you adjust the 3D terrain opacity anywhere in the world to spot interesting geographical features. (Note: I am currently working hard on integrating ultra-high-res local government topographical data for individual countries, but this global 3D base layer is live and works perfectly everywhere right now!).

-​100% Private & No Login Required: All your routes and finds are saved locally on your phone's memory. You don't need to create an account, and your secret spots stay strictly yours.

-​Log Your Finds: Pinpoint exactly where you found an item on the riverbank, add photos, depth, and target IDs.

​Track Your Routes: Never lose a good spot or forget which part of the foreshore you've already covered.

​A quick note on pricing for full transparency: The core features of the app (like standard maps, logging your finds, tracking routes, and local storage) are completely free. The special high-res/premium map layers are part of a Pro subscription. As an independent solo developer, this subscription helps me cover API/server costs and funds the future development of the app so I can keep adding more cool features and specialized maps for the community. I hope you guys understand! (There's also a 7-day free trial so you can test it out first!)

​The update is live right now on Google Play. I'm building this for you guys, so if you take it out on your next mudlarking trip, I would absolutely love to hear your feedback!

​Happy hunting! ⛏️

mudlark.london App now testing - free!

I’m very pleased to say that the mudlark.london App is now open for final testing, and would like to invite my fellow mudlarks to sign up for free! Currently open to London permit holders only.

Anyone who signs up during this phase will receive free use of the app for the remainder of their current permit year, along with a mudlark.london email address for as long as they would like to keep using it.

The app has been designed to support mudlarking life in a straightforward way by recording finds in the field from your phone or tablet (or later in the comfort of home!), keeping a catalogue of finds (with public and private versions), showing off creations if you hold a creative permit, writing blog posts about visits to the foreshore, exhibitions and whatever else you get up to, and using the diary tool to build a narrative of your year, either for the public or a more detailed version that could be useful for renewal.

It also includes a public homepage for each member, a directory, Shops & Socials links, and a community area where users can share finds, compare notes, and help shape the platform as it develops. Oh, and I've got the seven-day tide tables on there too, and other useful information.

I'll answer any questions below, but if you want to talk to me in person I'm at Greenwich Market on Wednesdays and Fridays. :-)
