    It was such a treat to meet Graham through this well produced video and admire his collections. His love of mudlarking and history preservation is palpable in the many displays he’s so thoughtfully and beautifully displayed to share with others to admire. I feel honored to learn about Graham and all of you are lucky to have his friendship.

    I started metal detecting in the mid 80's and it was seeing photos of the finds of mudlarks and people mudlarking in the magazine Treasure Hunting that really inspired me to go out and look for traces of our past. I went on to work on archaeological excavations and then on to do a degree in archaeology and pursued it for many years as a career. It was seeing the finds of Graham and the others that inspired a life long love of the past. Thank you.

    What an incredible man, and a spectacular collection! The 70s & 80s were clearly halcyon days for amateur archaeology & metal detecting. I remember in the 90s, reading in the hobby mags stories by Gordon Bailey & "Roman Ron", where it was still possible to wander onto any East Anglian field, gain permission and be tripping over pottery sherds, worked flints, Roman tiles & centuries-old nails.

    I Love talking and listening to that generation! They are like walking time machines! Movies and documentaries are cool to learn History! Reading books you get to use your imagination. But these people make history come alive! Especially if they are closer to a hundred years old they can take you back in time because they walked it,held it, and most importantly lived it!

His award of Freedom to the city (sorry, I can't remember the rest) is so precious & something he will never forget !!! I'm thinking that in a way it's similar to like what people are awarded in the USA where they get the Key 🗝️ to the city or town for something great that they did or something else !!! He looked very happy & honored to get that & he definitely deserved to be awarded with that !!! I enjoyed watching your video about Graham so very much & he's a sweet darling man !!! Thanks for sharing this Nicola !!! Much love to you from the USA !!! ❤️🙂

I love the brass handle at the end. But I enjoyed all the stories he told. Graham is such a humble and sweet man. A true gentleman with an amazing collection 🙂 Kasia wow the kiln stand parts are amazing. Great finds too.🙂nz*
    PS: Nicola I was watching TV last night in New Zealand & a program was on... 'Walking the River Thames with Tony Robinson' .... and who appeared with Tony.. YOU Nicola White down on the Thames shoreline. 🙂 So I have no idea when that was filmed.. but there you were on my TV screen wearing your famous mudlaking striped top 🙂

    Black and white photos have a dimension of shade that is lost when shot in color. I like black and white photos .Every once in a while a motion picture is filmed in black and white like Schindler's List. A Hard Day's Night is enhanced by being filmed in black and white. Always nice to see a young man's face in the 70's and now the face of a distinguished older gentleman in 2024.

    Wow! That was just wonderful to see how just a handful of you Mudlarks have come along! From digging 6ft holes sixty, seventy years ago, to many, many groups and clubs and associations, all around the country! It was so strange to hear that they could dig deep holes way back then, but as the hobby expanded to many, they had to reduce the diggings to much less, like 3 ft for fully fledged and permit carrying mudlarks, to just scraping the surface for others. But what a wealth of historical artefacts have been gathered by so many people over the decades! It’s truly gobsmacking! I love it! And so nice of EVERONE to share the news and images of their unique finds…..just wonderful! Thanks, Nicola, for sharing this all with us, world wide!

    Amazing! Graham is a national treasure! He has discovered and cataloged more British history than anyone I've seen. I'm American but British by ancestry, and I truly appreciate his work.
