The Origins of Mudlarks
Mudlarks have a long and storied history, dating back to the 19th century in the United Kingdom. The term mudlark originally referred to a person who rummaged through the Thames River in search of valuable items such as coins, jewelry, and other treasures.
The Golden Age of Mudlarking
The late 19th and early 20th centuries are often referred to as the Golden Age of mudlarking. During this time, the Thames River was filled with treasures from the Roman Empire, the Viking invasions, and other historical events.
