Hi All
A show I filmed with Nat Geo last spring is airing tomorrow night at 9 pm in the UK on Nat Geo HD
and should air on March 20th here in the US. The Show is:Thames Treasure Hunters, Lucky Muckers
This is not a reality show but one week filming on the Thames river with the Mudlarks a group of detectorists and diggers who hunt the shore of the river when the tide goes out. I was the first American filmed working with them.
The mudlarks report all finds to the museum of london. Increasing the historical knowledge of London.
Nat Geo did a great job of telling the story of some of our finds. Please check it out and let me and Nat Geo know what you think, so I can do more of these shows.

Anyone with friends in the UK please pass the word.

Thanks
Chicago Ron

I did a boat tour on the Thames about 5 years ago and all I could think about was the treasures hidden in the water. Looking foward to the show!That had to be a blast filming.

Unfortunately I can't watch the show. But I know the Internet site of the London Mudlarks (thamesandfield.com) which shows the impressive amount and quality of finds from the Thames foreshore.
