The Thames is an amazing archaeological site, much of it accessible to the public. An area of the foreshore by Tower Hill, not usually accessible, was open to the public last weekend during the hours the tide permitted. (Thanks to the
Thames Discovery Organisation)
Keen archaeologists donned wellingtons and with buckets of
enthusiasm dug the muddy foreshore in search of treasure.
A couple of people were lucky. One woman found a 3rd century Roman coin. This man found a ring, part of a Roman Brooch and a coin.

Go to London now! There is a gold rush!
Is it finders keepers? All fits in with a book I'm reading - 'The House by the Thames' by Gillian Tindall.
Had it been in Sweden you wouldn't be able to keep it, but I think the law is different in the UK. Nice find it is.
Genuinely sounds like fun!
What did you find?
What a find! Amazing.
What an amazing experience, I would love to be able to do that!
Sounds fun - how exciting to actually find some buried treasure.
qui in italia qualsiasi ritrovamento archeologico è dello stato non può essere trattenuto. come funziona in inghilterra? ciao elisabetta
This is soo fantastic! What a great time. I would love to do something like that. Very, very, cool.
I bet that what you find in St. Katharine's Dock would be quite an amazing discovery with all those boats and stuff...
one day I should try and go there looking!
