Well this week Im doing something different and I am not on the Thames! Join me as I head off to Folkestone to search for treasures on the beach. Treasure being anything exciting we can find in the mud and on the beach! I've been collecting glass at Folkestone for years but I have never searched for fossils there - so this was a real adventure for me, made all the more special as this time I was with my family (Angelo, Grace, Lauren and Faith). We had great fun getting totally absorbed in the search - finding fossils galore!
Whilst there I met a gentleman who gave me a very special gift of an Army Dog Tag. As many of my regular viewers will know, I do love searching for the history behind such objects and this one is marked with D. Kennett - and the service number 22817806.
After the search, Angelo and I ran into the freezing cold sea for a dip. I haven't been in the sea for an age and it was so invigorating!
I have had a lot of help with fossil ID by Sam who has an amazing instagram site all about fossils called @megasteg. It's well worth giving her a follow if you enjoy fossiling and also she is a Mudlark too. Sam suggested some good resources for Folkestone fossils.

We had some help from Alison who we met on the beach too. Thank you Alison! And we also enjoyed meeting @fifty_shades_of_shell so for all things shell, he is the man to follow.
