Morfa Dyffryn beach clean today. We couldn’t carry any more off at the end! #Wales #2minutebeachclean keepwalestidy.cymru

Fossilisation, year one…. #gannet

Butchered animal bone, clay pipes, buttons, glass and pottery, loads of post-medieval pottery; there’s even a sherd of a C.16/17 Bartmann jug, complete with a bearded grumpy face! And this is just day one of our big dig!

A delightful post-medieval pewter spoon out of the mud today… well done to finder Stevie Grieves 👏👏

Lions and tigers and bears (or pig)? 😉

Fresh out of trench one is this delightful Georgian fob seal complete with mermaid intaglio. She’s seemingly admiring her reflection in a hand mirror. If it’s a re-used intaglio depicting a siren, known as for luring travellers, which period would it date from? 🤔

Sunday matinee time.... There's loads more underwater archaeological/historical adventures over on my YouTube channel: youtube.com/@GaryBankhead
