- Hello Mudlarking Friends! Welcome back to the foreshore with me, Old Father Thames. The weather is changeable, but the finds are forthcoming, and we certainly run through the years. From medieval, Georgian, Victorian to Modern, with a dash of WWII thrown in, we're seriously time travelling - tide travelling - today!
Huge thanks to Richard Hemery for his help with some of the trickier pottery ID's, and to Ale Pogo Pessimo for the excellent knowledge on the 18th Century pewter and bone button.

I'll probably never get to visit England and mudlark the Thames river... so your channel and Nicola White give me vicarious experience... thank you for making these videos. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Dean, they are both good at showing us the many moods of the Thames River 😊 & the beauty & history of bits & pieces. Like you my country is young in one way, ancient another without a long written history of its original peoples. 🇦🇺🇺🇲🇬🇧
Hey Dean! I hope you can make it one day, but for now let us take you there! Glad you're enjoying them. Many more adventures to come. 🌊 ⚓️
Hey! Thanks for the lovely comments. The 'many moods of the river' is right! It's a moveable feast. 🌊 ⚓️
It's a pleasure to see you out on the Thames. So interesting and always a joy.
Hey Sue! Got another bumper video coming up! All the best 🌊 ⚓️
love watching your videos such great finds would love to mudlark the thames again
I hope you are able to!
Always enjoy walking the foreshore with you and hearing all the historical bits. Thank you for taking us with you. Follower in New Mexico USA.
Hey Carol in New Mexico! Waving at you from across the pond! Thank you for watching and I'm so glad you enjoy it. 🌊 ⚓️
Thank you for this lovely video.
You are a hardy soul to go out in all weather's! Thanks Marie. QUESTION: does the Thames gilding stay, or does the brass return to dull?
Hey Annette! You can't separate a mudlark from her mud, even in the worst weather! The brass returns to dull after a while, also you can polish pins, I guess? 🌊 ⚓️
Those small pieces of pottery are so pretty. Now I have a new item on my bucket list, the quilted pin! Thanks for showing the world famous foreshore which I miss so much. Hugs xx
They certainly are cute! The quilted pin! Hah! You will have many many items on your bucket list, I imagine. The foreshore sends its love! 🌊 ⚓️

Brilliant video, a nice variant of finds, just question dud you study pottery at college or are you sellf taught, as you have a really good knowledge of pottery
Hi Kim, I'm self taught, but rely heavily on the books of Jacqueline Pearce and the on-tap help from the one and only, Richard Hemery! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thank you. 🌊 ⚓️
I missed your live show 😱. Hopefully I’ll catch the next one. Love those pieces of pottery. History in your hands. Amazing that identification can be made from such a small piece. 🦋
Hey Sis! Indeed, history in our hands! It's so special. Huge stories come from little sherds. 🌊 ⚓️
Thanks for another delightful vicarious mudlarking adventure!
Hey Lisa, always happy to have you along!
Best historical placement of objects found. Appreciate all the hard work and research.
Please keep finding!
Hey John! Thank you so much, that's very much appreciated. HNY!
I caught the last 10 minutes of the live, missed you somehow. Did you miss your premier? Are you OKAY?
Yep I'm v well Debbie, thank you! I mentioned that I wouldn't be in that live chat as Jason Sandy, another mudlark, had his book launch the same day. It's all go this month! 🌊 ⚓️
Hello 👋 from New York USA the blue and white pottery pieces that you found are beautiful I make jewelry out of the broken decorative Pottery pieces I find at the dumps I dig I make necklaces earrings brooches rings I make sea life sceneries And landscape sceneries out of the broken pottery driftwood and metal I find at the dumps and on the ocean shore Thank you for bringing me along with you I can't wait to see what you find next😊
Hey Tarra! Long time! Thanks for following my adventures, love to see you tuning it. Got lots of new finds to share with you all. Lovely to hear about the jewellery and driftwood art. Gorgeous stuff! 🌊 ⚓️
Hi! I've not watched you before. I'm amazed at how a small nugget of history can be identified, especially the patterns of the tiny pieces of blue and white. Thank you so much. 🤗
Hi Anne! Thank you so much for tuning in, I've got lots more coming up. Glad you like the little blue and white. 🌊 ⚓️

Oh no the wink has completely gone! 😲
It'll be back! Haha! I am trying to reach a happy medium with the wink fans and the non-wink fans. Hehe. 🌊 ⚓️
Love the scientific dates & descriptions you give. The shots of artifacts in their entirety are so wonderful to see. After watching your videos I can actually identify things I see you and other larks find before you say it! Wish I could walk the Thames. So much history! Thanks for all the little adventures. Best regards from IL, USA
Hey Mera! Thanks for watching, such kind comments. I'm glad the complete pieces give you a good reference. It's so important to see these items in context, when possible. Thanks for coming along on our little adventures! Best to you and Illinois! 🌊 ⚓️
Wyprawa 👍 wszystkiego po trochu .
Pozdrawiam serdecznie 🇵🇱
Zawsze dobrze jest zachować różnorodność - zawsze jest tak wiele do znalezienia i zbadania! 🌊 ⚓️
Thanks p! Happy holidays! 🌞🎅🏻🎄🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎄
And to you, hope you had a lovely one!
I apologize for the complete oversight in not subscribing to your channel sooner! Especially as you mention me three times in this video alone! I've just done the complete video while on the exercise bike and loved it.
Richardé! Hello! No worries at all. Glad to have you here and I hope you didn't topple off the exercise bike whilst watching!
Living in the United States I find every tiny bit you find that has age amazing. For me to find something equivalent it would have to be from the early inhabitants, such as the Taos people. I’m coming to London (TLW) in May of 2023 and am so exited to see the buildings and architecture of Shakespeare’s time. History enthralls me and I have family that traveled from London to the US in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. To be able to identify the time from which those shards came from is so wonderful. Enjoyed your post.
Hi Cerwelt! Thank you for your kind comments. We certainly are very lucky here to have such rich - and ancient - history. You will have a fabulous time in London. Make sure you spend lots of time in the old city. There's so much to see!
I stole a fork from Trafalgar Tavern…
Hmm Deja Vu.
Well nevermind the steal,I repurposed the fork to use as an eyebrow scratcher.
You know,when you get that persistent eyebrow itch,and when you go to scratch it,it’s always just out of reach?
My unpatented stolen fork gets the job done.
Caution:
Do not operate stolen Trafalgar Tavern eyebrow scratcher whilst driving a car or helicopter,lest you plan on sporting a pirate look,eye patch,and all the accessories needed.
Hah! I'm sure the owner who is one of your national brothers will forgive you for the theft and praise your ingenuity in the new eyebrow scratcher! 🌊 ⚓️
I really enjoyed watching you again. I am from the USA but I love watching all of the history come out of the Thames. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures
So glad you enjoyed watching! More videos out this weekend!
The Thames is the most mucky river in Europe don't you wear gloves.
Hi Angel! I don't wear gloves, although a lot of mudlarks, you will have noticed, do. I am careful about what I touch, and if I have any wounds etc. It is true that the river carries many nasty bugs and illnesses, so we must be careful. I do that at my own risk...and if you think about it, the river is used by a number of people in a number of ways, not least canoeing, kayaking and rowing, who also, in the majority (from what I've seen) do not wear gloves. Definitely up to the individual, though! 🌊 ⚓️
Just discovered your channel and can’t wait to see what else you find! Love the history!!
Hi! Thanks so much for the sub. I've had a bit of a break, but more full length videos to come!
Great Job. Greetings from Poland & Germany
Hi Poland and Germany, and greetings to you too, Mario! 🌊 ⚓️
Hello from Ontario Canada
Hey Diane! Hello and HNY to you and Canada too!
Hi OFT, did they dump a lot of rumble along the Thames after the blitz during clean-up, and do you know if recycled any of the bricks. Love from South Oz ❤️ xx
Hey Stephen, yes indeed! There are huge swathes of post-war rubble clearance. I recycle the bricks, but I'm not sure if the bricks were officially recycled by any organisations in any way. Interesting question, I will investigate! 🌊 ⚓️
