Thames Mudlarking Trip to 17th Century France and 19th Century Tobacco

[@cdd4248]

I am old enough to remember, "tis just a flesh wound"- Made me chuckle.

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Hahaha glad you liked it . I did wonder if anyone would get what I was referring to =o)

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks Kevin, I am always happy to see one of your videos . Lots of lovely finds including a clay pipe with decoration, oh my.!! Love the picture of penguin in freezer too!!

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Cheers a lot =o) That damn penguin keeps eating my Quorn Sausages :o) x

[@Julianne955]

The shaking hands pipe is quite unique, that mold (mould) had to be lined up perfectly, so glad you found it! Thank you again for another hunt on the foreshore, you do find the tiniest treasures! Have an amazing week!

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Thanks a lot Julianne =o) Hope you have a great week too

[@Pipskirolla]

The penguin 🐧lol - SUPER CUTE and very funny! 😂 Interesting finds, excellent video - lovely music choices too. Perfection.

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Thanks a lot . Glad you liked it . Cheers =o)

Thanks Kevin, I always enjoy watching your excursions on the Thames River! I believe the pipe you found is a Mason's pipe. They use the handshake as one of their emblems.

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Thanks . Glad you liked it =o) Yeah , my first thought was masonic . There's also other uses , such as New Year and was also common on gravestones

[@gtdias]

This is such a great video Kevin - first class production. Your camera work and sound quality is excellent (and I know how hard it is trying to walk in the dark with a camera.) Well done you! That Tudor rose piece and the absolutely wonderful clasped/shaking hands friendship pipe, are top finds.

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Thanks loads Susan =o) Sound needs work . But finally invested in an external mic =o) I just noticed you have a channel . And it's got Tracey Emin in it =o) x

'Tis but a scratch ...love any video with a Monty Python reference! Keep up the good work. Love and hugs from me in New Mexico USA

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Cheers =o) Love and hugs back to you in New Mexico

[@lisascenic]

A nice collection of tiny treasures! I always appreciate the detailed photos and explanatory text, as well as the political snark.

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Thanks a lot . Glad you liked it =o)

[@dthomp06]

First time I’ve seen that pipe bowl on any mudlarking channel. Good find!

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Cheers =o)

[@lovelyskull3483]

Thank you for this lovely video. You spot the tiniest things. I love every single pipe and button. Cheers and take care.

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Thanks a lot , Lovely Skull =o) Have fun

[@permiebird937]

Hurrah! You found a decorated pipe!

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Cheers . I should point out it's not my first =o) But prob' 98% of my pipes are plain =o)

[@mudlarkingmarionette]

Having a hearty laugh at your humour ; it's the best in town ; the kind I spit my tea out to minus the marmalade sandwich. Having just had a conversation about the etymology of the word fart ; life couldn't get funnier this evening. Great music as usual and was that a sunset or sunrise.

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

hahaha glad you liked it . Gonna have to head to Google now . . . Was a sunset =o)

[@tessacoulson6854]

Always enjoy your videos Kevin. Cant wait to get back on the Foreshore after a busy Summer.

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Cheers a lot . Good luck when you get back in the mud =o)

[@suzettecalleja3122]

Love your choice of music. The pipe with the hands was very nice. 😊

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Thanks a lot . Always good to get feedback on the music , as it's so subjective . Glad you liked it =o)

[@lirazel6414]

👋Hello Kevin! Nicola mentioned your channel and so here I am, a new sub fr. Yukon, Canada.
Your 3 hole button smoking a pipe made me smile :) and I liked watching this video, (night larks are my favourite) so I'll enjoy playing catch-up with your others. Cheers & Happy Mudlarking, Pat 🌞

[@FindsByPirjo]

I do need a lesson on making better videos! This one has a great quality and it's made with a smile. Well done Kevin! My guess is that the bead is Roman! I need to see a lace aiglet in order to find one myself, take it to the exhibition. Did you take the swimming dog with you? Cheers!

[@medwaymammalianmudlark]

Thanks a lot Pirjo . I'll have some aiglets at the exhibition . I can't believe you haven't found one yet . You've got a bone die , top of my Wishlist ! I never took the dog . Got there early and was sitting waiting for some foreshore , when the little fellow showed up to model for an intro =o) x

[@RunningGrass-we7tm]

What does 2 hands together mean? Is it still a buffalo pipe?

[@RunningGrass-we7tm]

Put a tiny bit of oil on mother of pearl or they dry out to powder
