Mudlarking Puns

Here is a page of puns about Mudlarking. 


Page is probably over-egging it. Several might be a better description.


Imagine, if you will, finding these puns buried beneath the mud at low tide. There's one over there next to the seagull. And there's another one sticking out behind those old bottles.
