I've become a fan of mudlarking. I live on a river, the Mississippi. Sadly, there is no tide change. Thanks for sharing these vids, there is something entertaining to watch intelligent and talented women digging around in river sludge!! LOL
Same here. I found Nicola's channel and came over from there. Very interesting. I enjoyed your finds and the history of each piece. You have a great eye for such small finds.
Wow, you have a great eye ! I just found you and very glad I did..... What fun you must have, I envy you mudlarkers. We have no such a place in the US where I live. Indian artifacts and they are very hard to find. But when you do they are extra special. Have fun for me too !!!
Another Nicola subscriber checking in, glad to have found this great channel, so interesting keep the videos coming 👍👍👍 from Florida 🌞 {my parents were Brits 🇺🇸🇬🇧}..
Hello Marie-Louise, I saw you and Nicola larking on the foreshore and am glad to have a new RUclips Star to watch! Mudlarking facinates me ever since I stumbled into it seeing Nicola's videos. You're a facinating lovely artist and as interesting as Nicola is. I have liked, subscribed and rang the bell and look forward to watching your videos too now.
I too saw you on Nicola's channel and have now subscribed to yours. I look forward to many more larks with you in future. This had some very interesting finds.
Just a little tip. Invest in a utensil like a large toothbrush to brush the sand off of what you're trying to inspect. Makes things easier and you don't have to damage anything by rubbing it against your waiters. Great video! Subscribed :)
I very much enjoyed your collaboration with Nicola and hope you do more together in the future. Just a thought from me as a gem cutter /silversmith on the loose cut stone. If the facets are still sharp and defined then chances are it's not cut glass but something harder than glass, perhaps an actual gemstone. The river would have likely worn the facet corners down rather fast if it was glass. Subscribed and liked!
@@OLDFATHERTHAMES I do certainly admire being able to find them like that!! :) Garnets hold a special meaning to me as the first true gemstone I learned to work with long ago. I specialize in working with gem grade fossils but also work with gemstones from all over the world. I've even made jewelry from tumbled sea glass and pottery pieces for people. I'm sure you fully understand how those pieces can mean so very much to a person, because of the place or time that they found them etc. The true value of gems and jewelry is often measured with the heart and not necessarily in pounds. What do you like to do with your Garnets?
Just watched your collaboration with Nicola, Great lark from the pair of you, I just had to subscribe as you have a great knowledge and sense of humour
Lovely video. I've often been intrigued about the marks like that on spoon handles, regrettably not quite intrigued enough to research the;, I should have, that's a fascinating bit of history.
Hi Marie. Saw you for first time with Nicola White on her birthday. Lovely to see your video. Love the finds. We haven't found any musket balls yet but look forward to doing so. Mostly found pieces of pottery, pipe bowls and pipe stems. Started making bracelets with the stems. My partner also collects glass to make jewellery with. Will be watching your videos with interest. Will also follow you on Instagram thank you for showing us your finds.
the disk with counterstamps is probs a William 3rd sixpence that has been turned into a love token, certainly looks and sounds like silver when you dropped it
another good array of finds, I think your round blue/white delphware is a shaving brush bowl base. But Please carry a bar towel or similar to wipe your finds or you could be wiping off the designs. Nice finds Mac.
Hi Marie 👋🏻 Some nice finds you did 😊 I did like the pottery with white green-ish terracotta colors with very intresting pattern on it ,quite nice 👍🏻 Good mudlarking of you like always Thanks so very much 😃🤗 Greetings from Thor
Ah! Marie-Louise, you have a mild obsession which I relate to in finding wonderful bricks with stamped/embossed details on them, but my lovely partner does roll his eyes and sigh when I appear with any new ones... I tell him we shall have a very interesting paved area at the back of our house one day and when friends come over they'll be fascinated by all the different names on the bricks!!
In the future you could carry around some water so you can easily wash off the dirt of some of those items! Might be a little bit of a time saver when it comes to wiping off that sand Love the video, I’m a new subscriber 😊
Great fun 😁I just started mud-lurking in New Zealand because the grass is so dry here this time of year, so the mud flats here we come , new sub here 👌😁
Great video, I watch Nicola's videos too and want to get a permit for myself so I can explore the foreshore. Are there any good books or resources about the history of Mudlarking that you know of?
I have seen the bits about all the pins in the sand, and understand they were the zippers of their day, but why do you suppose they were discarded in the Thames? Flushed down Tudor Toilets? Tossed out of bins when the pin craze was over? Was there no place to have them melted or recycled? Probably not something they even thought of.
Hello from California! I have two unrelated questions. Did you notice that the paint manufacturing company sold sheep marking paint? I find the practice of using this product absolutely ingenious. Also, what do you clean your metal with? I like how you reveal detail without losing the overall patina. And yes, I’m watching your videos in chronological order. I’m a mud-lurker.
Hi Lisa! Casting my mind back, I don’t think I did notice that about the sheep marking paint. I will have another look. That’s quite a specific area and I’m there for it 😂 I clean my metal objects both with electrolysis and the old spit in tinfoil method (for real - check it out). Haha good for you, mud-lurker, I love that! 🌊⚓️
The stamped brass plate bearing "TWB Co.Ltd", represent's "Taylor Welded Blanks Co,Ltd". You may well find that the No.13, embossed on this brass plate, is the gauge of the welded metal plates applicable. 13 standing for either 13 swg or bsg, i.e. 13 standard wire gauge or 13 British standard gauge. Either or, the plates, housed inside the crate, that this embossed plate was attached to, had a thickness of about one tenth of an inch.
Thanks Bovril! I did find this company when researching, but didn't think too much about them because they were formed in the 1990s. However, what didn't occur to me at the time was that they could, of course, have been going before that, with a variation on the name. Thanks for the abbreviation info, that's always so helpful as it could relate to a number of brass plaques we find on the Thames. Very best wishes. OFT
Have you ever left something behind and later regretted it? Have you ever gone back to try and find it again? It would drive me nuts leaving things behind.
Saw you on Nic’s channel. She’s wonderful. I’m subscribed to your channel now as well. Loved your content, very well done. Check out Northern Mudlarks. They also have some very interesting videos I think you will like. Take good care.
Good for you for leaving the pipe. I once asked Nicola White if she ever left broken pipes or pipes she already has for others to find and she was appalled at the very concept.
You. Ant find paint like they use to make. Of course it was more toxic but you would not have to paint your house every other year. Great finds. I find that mudlarking is as diverse as the choices people chose to collect. Thank you for sharing. Oh and leaving the pipe behind for someone else. A very kind act of sharing. 😍
twb co. ltd is acctually just the tag itself maybe the number 13 could tell you more obout the product it was attached to. sorry thats all i found myself.twb co ltd is the tag company
Enjoyed this vid, thanks to Nicola for showing us your link.

Hey A B! Yes, you're right. It would be a time saver! Thanks for the sub ⚓

Fantastic eye for a find and great video 👍👍
Thanks, man! Appreciate it.

Hey Leah, I know, I know, I'm replying a whole year later. Better late than never, though, eh? How are the mud-flats going? You finding anything? ⚓
loved the video some very good fines keep up the good work
Great video, I think the delftware is a ointment pot and very nice to.
hetrodoxly 1 Aha! Yes, great suggestion, could be. I shall have a bit of a research. Thanks for your kind comment.
your AOFB was started in 1924 and i am proud owner of a membership booklet
Fun finds!
Could TWB stand for Thames water board possibly? Your videos are always enjoyable to watch and that camera error artwork is a definite masterpiece 😂
Hi Richard, that's a very good thought. I will look into that. Haha glad you appreciated the eRrOr notice haha 🌊 ⚓
Great video👍👌🤝

Very interesting finds and narrative but the sound quality is painful. Please don't clean off coins on your nylon pants...
