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.
