Just an idea when you find an ink pot that's broken in half refurbish it like you did with the key and picture/wall hook, you find boards and wood on your journeys. A half ink pot on a board/wood piece with ink pen in it by the telephone or writing table...when Nicola picked up the ink pot and it was broke in half instantly I thought of that. Nice finds btw ☺

I've only just been linked to this so can I just say, as a Guildford resident, thank you so much for visiting and documenting our riverbed! Not sure if it's been noted but the river was low at this time due to the (dramatic!) failure of a weir, and this drained the river to some extent for quite a way upstream. I dug out some good finds a little way upriver at St Catherine's - mainly pottery and coins - but regrettably didn't get the chance to investigate this part of the river while it was still low. The river level is now back up to normal as a temporary weir structure has been installed, but there's a chance it may be drained again in the future when a permanent weir/bridge is finally built over the site of the collapse. Maybe there'll be chance for a second round! Either way, very grateful for the work you've done here in detailing some of the local pipe-making history. My only regret is that you took so many finds away - here's hoping there's some left for us local mudlarks if the opportunity should ever come up ;)

Holy cow! What a haul!

I'm thinking Nicola could make some very nice like pendants or brooches with the little pictures on sides of the bowls. Maybe beaded necklaces with the broken stems. Maybe earrings too?
