Hunting for treasure at low tide
Joseph Fox photographed the mudlarkers who comb the shore of London's River Thames. Originally a term for the city's poor who scraped a meagre living by scavenging in the river's mud, it has been adopted by a new breed of treasure hunters, often armed with metal detectors.
These men and women show off their favourite finds, and discuss the joys of mudlarking..............

Re: Hunting for treasure at low tide
The amount they get charged for permission my, to some, appear expensive, but taken over a period
it is worth every penny. Some wonderful finds have come to light due to their dedication.

Not a mention in the article about permits or what they can/can`t do! Cue lots of folk turning up and the PLA getting very shirty.

I hope that you don't mind Phil, but I have copied this from the place you said it was ;
Anyone wishing to search the tidal Thames foreshore in any way for any reason must hold a current foreshore permit from the Port of London Authority.

They changed the permit rules a few months ago so even beachcoming is not possible without a licence, i think its a ploy to generate some revenue, and not really enforceable,

I don't do a lot to be honest but I remember getting a email pretty instantly from the crown estates with my permit. I know that thats not the case now so now what do we do?

You don't need a Crown Estate permit for the timebeing.
From the website; We are currently looking into the metal detecting registration process. As such, you are not required to obtain a permit but must read our terms and conditions (see link below) before conducting any metal detecting on Crown Estate foreshore.
