A Guide to Mudlarking on the River Thames: Hunting for Treasure

Vaxby, Emmylou: - Emmylou Vaxby is a mudlark from London who scavenges the River Thames' foreshore for treasures! She started mudlarking in East London during the pandemic and hasn't stopped since. In her free time she creates mini sculptures from her finds and teaches other people how to mudlark through her short courses. Emmylou has also founded Wapping's Plastic Free Community through Surfers Against Sewage's programme. She cares for two tortoises at home and enjoys practising the harp and oboe, fossil hunting in Folkestone, and playing field hockey at her local club!
