I stuck close to home yesterday and wanted to do a little mudlarking, or the Treasure Coast version, which I call sandlarking.
You can find some interesting things just mucking around. Whatever you call it, you can occasionally find some good stuff without a detector. Most of the time it isn't real good - maybe just interesting. If you are a detectorists, mudlarking can provide some clues to potentially good metal detecting sites. And if you are interested in local history, you might be interested in the items that tell you about the what people were doing in the area years ago. I often find something that I consider useful, whether it is a brick, piece of lumber, lost hat or PVC pipe.
Here are some of the items I found yesterday.

| Miscellaneous Items From a Short Sandlarking Venture Yesterday. |
At the top is an item marked Cory. I didn't know what it was, so took it home and researched it. I found out it is a vintage vacuum filter part from a coffee machine. Not very interesting, but learned some trivia. They list similar ones online for $10 to $15. Seems it would be mid century.
I often pick up copper scrap. Copper prices are good, recently hitting as much as $4.50 a pound.
The Coca Cola bottle is a Fort Pierce bottle, but a very common one.
Then there is the unremarkable stopper top bottle and the copper item which seems to have a thunderbird like pattern. Have no more info on that one.
The piece of stoneware is marked Western Stoneware.
In 1906 the Western Stoneware Co. was formed by the merging of seven different stoneware and pottery companies, these companies were now known as Western Stoneware Co. Plants One Through Seven. This new company kept the same style of maple leaf logo that the Monmouth Pottery Company had used previously.
I've found some nice stoneware items in the past and saw some other pieces yesterday, but nothing very good.
It was the first time I did any sandlarking for probably a couple of months. I'll be doing more of that in the future. There have been some nice finds, but not yesterday.
