Searching for treasure in the mud on the banks of the river Thames, or mudlarking as it's known, dates back generations. Now specially licenced mudlarks comb the foreshore looking for clues to the city's past. You'll meet Tom Coghlan who discovered something truly remarkable, now on display at a new exhibition at London Museum focusing on mudlarking.
Also on the podcast, archaeologist Dr Helen Geake and co-host Martyn Williams speak to Time Team's creator Tim Taylor who's been awarded an MBE in the King's birthday honours.
Community archaeology project 1722 Waggonway gears up for another dig to understand the country's first wooden railway.
