Gail & Alex Mudlarking Jewelry

“This is a mudlarking mother + daughter team. They go treasure hunting for these small items and turn them into jewelry. A mudlark is someone who scavengesthe banks and shores of rivers for items of value, a term used especially to describe those who scavenged this way in London during the late 18th and 19th centuries.[1] The practice of searching the banks of rivers for items continues in the modern era, with newer technology such as metal detectors sometimes being employed to search for metal valuables that may have washed ashore.”
