Back to the river this morning, star find of the day was this domino/gaming token. Fashioned from the thinnest sliver of bone, difficult to age, perhaps a hundred years old or even more. Might have been lost from a local gambling den but today it’s coming home with me #mudlark

Here it is, front and back. Tossed about in the Thames for at least a century, possibly more, the bone carved by the steadiest of hands.

Also, lovely to meet @__ChrisMorris__ today & indict him into the ways of the Thames Foreshore. His first find of the day was this glass 18th C trade bead that hides a dark history. If you’d like to start mudlarking, like Chris, you must have a permit from the @LondonPortAuth

‘Indict?’ D’oh! I meant ‘induct.’ For the love of God when will twitter introduce an edit button *face palm*
