Oioi Richard! Thanks for another lovely adventure, it was so nice of you to offer us guidance and share your knowledge! Had so much fun and can’t wait for round 3 😎😎
I was hoping, Josie, that you, your dad and Richard all go to see the medieval chateau in Normandy and do a little mudlarking on their property! Maybe they can invite you all as “volunteers”. They have others come and stay onsite in exchange for little tasks. Perhaps anything you find there can go in their chateau for all who visits to see? :) Here is the link for that channel: ruclips.net/video/yqyVZ0Cz1bI/видео.html
Its truly incredible that opus signum was polished to a shine, all that hard work to ultimately no doubt be mistaken for brick rubble and tossed into a skip. The History we literally walk over every day only brought to our attention by people such as yourself, Thank you Richard, so glad to see you well and in such good form.
Hi Richard. It was so nice to see you with the Mudpies again! You impress us all, the amount of knowledge you tell us about pottery is absolutely amazing. Thank you!! All the best - Adam
Richard, as always, your expertise about pottery is so valued. All your finds become more fascinating because you can thoroughly describe what we're seeing and then, give an example. I am always amazed by what you find on the Thames foreshore -- you've got a great eye. You made Josie's dream find of pins and garnets happen and Andy got his Thames Roman find. Your dream find of the wig curler - gorgeous. Well done, all of you!
I love finding you on the foreshore, I'm 78 and too infirm to go wandering about, Over the years I have been an artist and spent some years making pots and hand painting items of ceramics, your level of information I find mesmerising. Thank you.
Thanks Richard. Like the ride out on the train. Also nice to meet more mudlarking friends. Beautiful finds. Great lessons learned. That Roman floor! I’d love that in my kitchen.
Awesome video! I love how the Mudlarking family collaborates with each other! The Mudpies started me on this journey of the UK history! Thank you guys you bring me lots of joy with your ventures again thank you!💕💕WV🇺🇸
Oh my word! I have been enjoying your sense of humor so much! The dressed up lady and then....your muddy wellies! Sir, you shine bright in Mudpies wear! Goodness knows you sure earned the right to wear that shirt proudly. If ever I get to the Thames Foreshore my bucket list find would be a piece of tin glaze, it seems so delicate and yet survives the tides of the Thames. Great video, always enjoy seeing you back in your "natural element" 😉 Have a fantastic week Sir! I can't wait to see you and the Mudpies back together again!
Hi Richard.our house was built post war,but using pre war materials--- somewhere in the 1940’s.our roof was completed with rosemary tiles.I understand that the tile maker’s daughter was called --- yes, you’ve guessed it ______ Rosemary.!!! Greetings from Wolverhampton in The West Midlands.xxx
So great to have you back on the foreshore. Missed your excellent finds with knowledgeable descriptions. Looking forward to many more. Cheers from B.C. Canada
Unfortunately my mobility isn't very good now so I love to hear about the treasures and histories of your finds. I love The Mudpies and Si-Finds and Nicola. Xx
It was nice of you to invite the Mudpies to the Thames today and to show them what types of items they can find there. It is certainly different than their usual stomping grounds. I have your boos and enjoy it for reference.
Really enjoyed watching your collaborations with the Mudpies! So glad they gave you one of their cool t-shirts after your last muddy quest to find Roman pottery! ⚱️
Hello Richard!! So good to see you again, and the Foreshore!! Thank you again for taking the time to film, edit, and share another great video. That Roman conglomerate flooring was interesting. I believe I've seen it before but thought it was more modern concrete! My Foreshore Permit is good through December (and I'm definitely getting another!) so I'm planning another visit the last weekend of October. The tides at Queenhythe look good and the PLA has no covid restrictions. I can't wait!! Take care and I hope you and your family are all well. Warm Regards
I am so glad I stumbled across some of your older videos from someone else's channel a couple of weeks ago. The attention to detail is equaled to the find and both are really enjoyable. I would have loved to spent time with you and the Mudpies lol Yall are on opposite ends of the spectrum and the mix would be so exciting. I greatly loved the ride in on the rail, that is so amazing. Here in the USA we are not that privileged to but then again I could just be glamorizing my thrill of train rides on old black and white movies. Again thank you for filling my time with quality. God Bless
Loving your work Richard, bought your book twice, different editions, you are helping me so much, as I have collected a lot of pottery from the Thames foreshore and so want to eduacte myself as I am obsessed with London history, having been born just behind the Millenium wheel and growing up in the great city, many thanks, Peter Singh
Re: The rough piece of Roman flooring. The image you showed of the polished floor was very like the flooring that was ubiquitous in schools, hospitals, malls, etc., here, with small pieces of stone embedded in a sort of cement laid within metal grids, and highly polished. Hard-wearing flooring to handle a LOT of traffic over decades.
I love your video. Subscribed. I sure do love the knowledge you bring to the shards of pottery you find. I could listen to you all day. Have enjoyed your collaborations with other mudlarks too. Thank you.
It's so good that you broadened the Mudpies' horizons by taking them to the Thames Richard. I'm wondering how the barbotine slip was applied to Roman colour coated ware. Looking at it, I'm reminded of cake decorating where the decoration is piped on using a bag with a nozzle. That chunk of opus signinum was fascinating too. I remember my grandfather laying and polishing terrazzo in Greece back in the 1960s. Opus signinum looks very similar. Cheers.
Good to see you back on the Thames Richard! I like to play a game when I watch your videos where I name the finds before you do. Thanks to your brilliant book, I'm getting rather good at it! Hopefully I'll be down on the Thames finding some for myself soon 🙂
Saw you mudlarking with Nicola White tonight. I am in the US state of Florida. Would love to be able to participate. Learning so much from you guys. Thank you.
When I was a child Richard I collected a tin box full of ‘bun pennies’ which I was told (probably by my parents) were named such due to the head of Victoria wearing her hair in a bun. To my dismay the whole lot was lost as I grew up! Just out of interest do you think Richard they would be worth much today?
Hi, it depends on condition. If; like most, they were very worn, they will be worth only a few pounds for a whole tin full. It's still a shame you lost them.
We are all well, I haven't been to London for a while, so I haven't anything new to post at the moment, sorry! I am trying to use my spare time to finish writing a new book. I hope you and your family are well!
@@richardhemery6916 Thanks. I just imported to Las Vegas about 100 sherds that were collected by a metal detectorist around Oxford =/- 20 miles. Roman, medieval, more. 20£. Jackpot.
Oioi Richard! Thanks for another lovely adventure, it was so nice of you to offer us guidance and share your knowledge! Had so much fun and can’t wait for round 3 😎😎
I have an idea...
I love that you’ve dubbed him an honorary Mudpie! :) My favorite mudlarkers and my favorite pottery expert in the same video! Please more. ;D

Thanks, Adam!
Richard where have you been? We’ve missed your expertise with pottery. Great video.
Thanks Karen, getting back to London now the pandemic is easing.

Love the for sure so many centuries. Thank you for the pictures of the whole article.
Looked like ther was a compleet wiggcurler on the shor just when you shown the broken one!🕊
Awesome video! I love how the Mudlarking family collaborates with each other! The Mudpies started me on this journey of the UK history! Thank you guys you bring me lots of joy with your ventures again thank you!💕💕WV🇺🇸
If it wasn't for your explanation I'd have dismissed the Roman flooring as modern junk! Fascinating! Thank you.
This was absolutely a joy to watch
As always I enjoy your knowledge of pottery you generously share with us. Thank you

Thank you so glad to see your hunting the shore.
Thank you Richard. Very enjoyable.
It looked like
a great time with good finds. You earned that Mudpies shirt as you were baptized in mud!

Really enjoyed this video, the foreshore is never boring, always more to learn.
What a great day at the Thames you all had! Interesting finds - thanks for telling us about them! Gail & Alex xx

Thanks for sharing. Always fun to tag along with you. Cheers from Canada.
I love that y'all get together for mudlarking.
👍
Richard,
It's always a pleasure watching you decipher the sherds; it looks so easy
until one encounters them in situ:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Nice to see you, Richard! Hi from Ottawa!🙋

Great video. Thanks!
I anticipate your next foray to the foreshore Richard, glad your back and I love how you pronounce "porcelain" 🤓cheers from a Michigan fan☺️

Hello from Melbourne. So great to see you back on the Thames and what an amazing haul. Love the Roman hunting jug the best. Top job 👍👍
Thank you

Oh… Duhhh… Terrazzo floors, which is, I expect exactly what the piece you showed would have been from.
Wonderful!
Brilliant to see you back. I found exactly the same neck of a bartman, eyebrows only 🤣
One better than the Mudpies, no face at all on theirs!
omg! Welcome back Richard I have missed your larking around!. Really enjoyed your upload stay safe and hope to see more of your uploads.
I love your video. Subscribed. I sure do love the knowledge you bring to the shards of pottery you find. I could listen to you all day. Have enjoyed your collaborations with other mudlarks too. Thank you.

Welcome back Richard!
I enjoyed seeing the trip into London on the train. Boy you sure know your history!
Thank you!

Wonderful Beth, you'll be helping me out with identifications soon.
Fascinating!
The girl mudpie is channeling George Michael i see 👀🤪👩🎤
Good video
Saw you mudlarking with Nicola White tonight. I am in the US state of Florida. Would love to be able to participate. Learning so much from you guys. Thank you.
Thank you!
Enjoyed everything,do you plan a another mud pie adventure for Roman?
Yes, I have a few ideas for new searches.
the Romans let nothing go to waste!
Great video. I think you must be particularly great at jigsaws, just a guess..
Actually yes!

@@richardhemery6916 Thanks for reply Richard and yes, such a shame as I remember some were almost mint condition! Wonder where they are now?!?
Welcome back Richard,
do you think the polished Roman concrete floor would have been sealed, if so, what with?
l don’t think they would have any sealing apart from the polishing.
Hi Richard I live in Vietnam and I enjoy doing mudlarking here. But im not sure how to tell the age of pottery. Can you maybe advice me a little?
I believe he has written a small book on pottery.
Richard, surely a new video due. What are you up to?
Hi, no mudlarking at present as I am working on a book and saving money by not renewing my mudlark licence.
Hello Mr. Hemery! We haven't seen a video in a while and hope you and your family are healthy and doing well. 🙂
We are all well, I haven't been to London for a while, so I haven't anything new to post at the moment, sorry! I am trying to use my spare time to finish writing a new book. I hope you and your family are well!
@@richardhemery6916 I'm so glad, and we are all good as well, thank you! 🙂
Is modern terrazzo the descendant of opus signinum?
Yes, exactly the same principle.
hope they let you go richard lol :d gl
Help, I've tried to find your Thames pottery book without success. Can you, or anyone, help me locate a copy? Thanks.
If you search Richard Hemery on Ebay or Identifying the Pottery of the Thames Foreshore on Etsy you can download the PDF, thanks, Richard
@@richardhemery6916 Thanks. I just imported to Las Vegas about 100 sherds that were collected by a metal detectorist around Oxford =/- 20 miles. Roman, medieval, more. 20£. Jackpot.
Still a big fan!
