- When the tide is low on the Thames all sorts of treasures and fragments of history are revealed and are waiting to be discovered - all of them with fascinating stories. Last week I met up with Ted Sandling who is the Author of "A Mudlark's Treasures - London in Fragments". Over the course of a couple of hours we found some wonderful treasures including a vintage sardine tin. Now did you realise that a vintage sardine tin can actually be a very exciting find?! Well yes it can. It is just one of the wonderful objects that the low tide revealed for us.

#amudlarkstreasure. Well done episode.
I am always intrigued by the vast number of different items that can be found in the Thames mud!! So many treasures indeed. #AMudlarksTreasures
Great video as always, you both have voices (well, accents) that I can understand without problem, so count me in! #AMudlarksTreasures

Your friend Ted Sandling is a fine gentleman and a true treasure of knowledge and information . In an afternoon one can walk away with so much from searching and hanging out with him . I love people like that . They make learning such joy . #MudlarksTreasures
She spotted a coin he was standing on (LOL) this lady has some super-eye-sight
@@chadsimmons6347 Yes, she can spot Clay pipes at 50 paces.
What an interesting guest you had today. he's extremely knowledgeable. Loved this one.
Ted seems like a super interesting guy, crazy knowledgable, very eloquent and also... adept at parkour?! The kind of person to enjoy a cuppa with :) #AMudlarksTreasured
Not just one, but two wonderfully spoken mudlarks, sharing their knowledge with us. Thank you. I loved that Nicola pilfered all of Teds pipes. #AMudlarksTreasures.
The pipes ‘being looked after’ made me chuckle too Charlotte!!
Big fan of both of you guys. Proposed to my mudlarker girlfriend under Tower Bridge last month. She said yes. #AMudlarksTreasures
Hooray! Congratulations ❤️❤️
At the end of the video I was thinking, 'Why was this video so short today?'... and then I looked at the time stamp. Yes yes, here comes the cliché - Time flies when you're having fun. :-) #AMudlarksTreasures.
It looks like you had so much fun with Ted!! He actually explained so much with different finds! He is just lovely!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 1 year older than your 1944 coin, fairly house bound, I find the Mudlarking vids save my sanity, especially you and Simon. What an interesting knowledgeable young man #AMudlarksTreasures.
Teds voice is perfectly matched to his evocative book 👍
Yes, so very English.
An absolute pair of treasures Nicola and Ted!
A great TEDtalk with parkour.
And with his appearence :)
Ted is completely delightful! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and hope to see more of him, and his historical commentary. #AMudlarksTreasures
Your video was my first introduction to mudlarking, and I am hooked! Both you and Ted shared so much interesting information, which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I am going to watch your other videos right now! Thank you!!. #AMudlarksTreasures
So glad to see you out with Ted once again on the foreshore. He is so knowledgeable and still has a spark for the quirky things of life -- imagine a sardine tin having that much history and that he was excited to take it to his son. What a wonderful lark. #AMudlarksTreasures
"Still learning after all these years" What a great passtime! Good for the body, mind and soul! Thanks! #A Mudlark's Treasures
You never fail to share with us a delightful outing.
A new life goal...move to England from Massachusetts, get a permit, and spend my days mudlarking😁! The simple things in life💕 #AMudlarksTreasures
I would be surprised if you couldn't find some great mudlarking in MA
I know you have some great civil war Artifacts around there, do you have , what are they call, like mud flats around MA? With old antique bottles?
I'm from mass also.. this is very interesting...wanna try it here..
I so enjoy when you mudlark with Ted. He is so knowledgeable!#AMudlarksTreasures
I could sit and listen to this mans knowledgeable stories for hours #AMudlarksTreasures
every outing is an adventure. the thames has so much to give up. thank you for taking us along. love the history lessons.
#AMudlarksTreasures
I loved this episode. Ted's historical knowledge is astounding. His explanation of the pottery process was inspiring.
Thank you for all the adventures.
Dear Nicola, thanks for including special guests in your channel as you did today with Ted today. Your are an excellent host and a fine historian! Congrats to Ted on his new book: #AMudlarksTreasures
This was a very educational video. What a delight to watch & learn from both of you two experts at once! #amudlarkstreasures
I live in America on the west coast and I absolutely love your videos because there's so much more history over there. I love seeing everything you pull from the mud. Thank you for bringing all of us along with you on these fantastic muddy adventures :) #AMudlarksTreasures
You have as mutch history tressures in your country too......,but it is about wat you like to see, take time in your dessert for example and Explorer. You have native history old as the RockyMoutain!🇺🇲🏔⛰🌋🗻🗽🌁🗿⚱🏹🏺🌽🍅🥔(🍔🍟🍗🍟🥫)🕊Barbro 🇸🇪
@@barbroevanderlindquist4128 Oh I'm well aware of the ancient tools and treasures of the natives. I just prefer the treasures with words and numbers
@@barbroevanderlindquist4128 you took the words right out of my mouth 👄
So now I don't need to say it 😊
What a fun day for you both! I love hearing the exuberance in your voice when you make a find. I really enjoyed listening to Ted explain things. He’s a wealth of knowledge! As of course you are as well. Thanks for another great video! ❤️
#AMudlarksTreasure.
I’d never heard of mudlarking before until I found your channel. So fascinating!
He is so knowledgeable and finds the most amazing treasures. He brings the past to life. His voice is also very soothing and mesmerizing. I remember the video where he read to us!#AMudlarksTreasures
The yellow "Roblox" toy is called a "gogo" and they were collectable figures from the mid 2000's. I collected them myself as a kid! #AMudlarksTreasures
First many blessings upon you Nicola, the love and support I received was amazing, thank you all, what a busy mudlark, who knew all that stuff would still be here. Awesome Nic. #A mud larks treasure. 🇨🇦🐘🍁💕
Hi Marion. Im so glad you got some support there. Lots of love to you. xxxx
Enjoyed your video with Ted, he's funny, as well as intelligent, congrats to him on his book. The finds were fascinating, I couldn't get over the wig curlers, something you wouldn't think of, yet it makes sense. The story on the pegs for use in making pottery, plus all the other finds made it a good day. Thanks Nicola, a good one.
Rain, hail or shine I loved searching for seaglass and other treasures when living in Japan. I was planning to celebrate my 70th birthday by visiting the UK for several months of mudlarking. May never get there now, so thank you for your wonderful videos that transport me into your world.
Nice outing with Ted there, and without masks.
Dear Nicola,
I love this fascinating video. You and Ted were amazing. You really have me a tutorial on the sardine can. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful video. Thank you.
Poppet
Thank you! xxx
What a treasure you and Ted are together, and some serious “luck in the muck”. Ted imparted such golden nuggets of knowledge. I always look forward to your next video #AMUdlarksTreasures.
"...exciting backflip type thing down these stairs." ...Pan to mud pit at the bottom of the stairs. That just made me laugh out loud 😂
#AMudlarksTreasures
Another great video Nicola, kept us entertained on this very wet Sunday afternoon, thanks for all your videos over the last year, it's helped bring the great outdoors inside.
Great to see people with so much passion and knowledge passing it on in book form #AMudlarksTreasures
what a treat to hear two articulate and knowlegable people presenting a progrmme.
Mudlark treasures had never been boring. I do wish that I had a place to go and discover history pass. One can learn so very very much from you and your friends. My father smoked a pipe and everytime I went to the pipe store I always would hope that he would enjoy it as much as I did picking it out. Thank you for bring back memories. Mary D Missouri USA 🇺🇲
Wouldn't miss your Sunday videos for anything # A mudlarks treasures
What a delightful episode to have someone as knowledgeable and entertaining as you Nicola, # AMudlarks Treasures. Thank you Lyndon.
The ship in the intro with the British and Canadian flags is pretty cool.
HMS Belfast
Good eye John! I missed that. Sheila, Edmonton, CAN.
I must be obsessed!!!......Husband “Are you still watching those mud videos”.
A treasure trove on the foreshore. #AMudlarksTreasures
ha ha! Brilliant Angela xx
I love when Ted is on the channel. He is so knowledgeable and I could listen to his stories for hours! I think the bottle neck with cork was my favourite this time, but the biscuitware was fascinating too. I would love a copy of #AMudlarksTreasures
Mudlarks Treasures! God bless, Stevie
What a wonderful video today. I just love your work Nicola and Ted was an extra bonus for information of your wonderful country.
How nice.. #AMudlarksTreasures! I seem to have a weird obsession with mud, as I'd love to try mudlarking, and wadlopen.... Hrmmm!
So love living vicariously through you here in the United States! #AMudlark'sTreasures 🥰
What interesting finds and companion! Great to learn about the time when this country was just becoming industrialised.
My Husband purchased Ted Sandlings first version of “ London in Fragments “ for my Birthday !!!!! Love the book !!!! Thanks Nicola and Ted for a wonderful Mudlark !!!!!!!
Teds parkour would come in handy for accessing the hard to reach mudlarking spots, great finds cheers🍻
I really like to see a new video. It is really kind of you supporting my addiction of watching you sifting through ancient rubbish in the Thames. #AMudlarksTreasures
Hi Nicola it was wonderful to see you out and about with Ted again doing what you both love. You both talk so eloquently and passionately from the teeny tiniest pins to broken pottery to your beloved clay pipes. I'm astounded by all you can find out from tiny fragments and buttons pipes and pins i can hardly wait 7 days until your next post #AMudlarksTreasure
I love how knowledgable Ted is about things!
Amazon just delivered this book...actually it's for my sister who helped me find this hobby. We always puttered along shorelines and rescued things ,but never knew it had a name! Great book! Very well written and so informative! My sis will get it soon as I finish reading it! Well done you two! #AMudlarksTreasures.....for me!
#AMudlarksTreasures
Exciting finds between you and Ted Sandling! It would be fun to watch Ted Sandling leap and tumble through and around London!
#AMudlarksTreasures.
What a great day of treasures. What a nice man Ted to pass on the books. #AMudlarksTreasures
Love, love watching mudlarking on the Thames.
Loved this one Nicola! Always nice to have someone else along to talk with and we learn so much. Super! #AMudlarksTreasures
Ted has a wealth of knowledge , very enjoyable to watch the both of you together in this video..
#AMudlarksTreasures
Dear Nicola, 24 hours ago I knew nothing of mudlarking, but now thanks to you and the other fabulous British mudlarkers on RUclips, I'm absolutely nutty for it now! Thank you XOXO 😊💓
These videos are like a little holiday, so great. The stories and the history is always fun
Oh the treasures you find. Would so love to do that someday. #AMudlarksTreasures
The sardine can is so fun, thinking of who ate them. Also the pins intrigue me. #AMudlarksTreasures
Lovely to see Ted back on the foreshore with you. He is one of the friendliest and most approachable persons I met in the mudlark community and learnt a lot from his book and beautiful London fragments. Really enjoyed this video. Can't wait for the audiobook!
Great mudlarking day.
Ted is so knowledgeable
#Mudlark treasures is a wonderful name for finding pieces of history and telling their stories.
Nicola, thank you for all you hard work, artistry, craftsmanship, creativity and dedication to exploration.
Oh my goodness, I was in laughter for a good 5 minutes when you said you leave the mud in the pipe uncase there is tobacco at the bottom and that people think you're wanting to smoke it, Hahaha that's the best thing I've heard all weekend!!! Amazing finds today Nicola & Ted, Happy Hunting! :-) #AMudlarksTreasures
ha ha!! xx
#mudlarks treasures. You won another academy award Nicola.
If I were to fulfil a dream........ to be mudlarking along the river Thames....... being gifted by the tide and mud of little treasures of times gone by. Squealing with excitement and gratitude as my eyes catch sight of an ancient delight. And then falling upon two priceless treasures full of stories and knowledge, gentle ways, warmth and smiles. That would be yourself Nicola and of course Ted........ What a wonderful dream come true that would be🙏🏻 #AMudlarksTreasures My Sunday’s wouldn’t be the same without you... Thank you 😊
Ah Thanks Kerry! x
This program is Fantastic for us History nuts 🌰! It’s very Appreciated you & all your friends searching! Thank you all. That book this gentleman put together is fantastic! Gods Blessings & keep on searching, 🕊 🇺🇸🇬🇧
I love listening to you and Ted imparting your knowledge about all your finds in this video. Fascinating stuff. #AMudlarksTreasures
I shall get it on audible, but would love to have a copy too. #AMudlarksTreasure
What an exceptional episode! Roman tesserae, 17th century hair roller, 1920's Bakelite bangle, Delftware firing items, 19th century sardine can, and of course.. pipes spanning centuries. Oh! and parkour??!! Amazing day with an amazing friend. And Ted's nice too : ) #AMudlarksTreasures
A delightful adventure with your Mudlarking friend. I loved the history he shared with you. Both of you have an addicting enthusiasm for your hobby.
Your friend is quite a gentleman from the higher ranks of society. I am such a Hiilljack compared to him. What can I say? Some of us are rough around the edges...Pass the pickled pigs' feet. Yee-haw!!! Thanks, Lady White!
Congratulations on the new edition, Ted! #AMudlarksTreasures
I always find your videos so interesting and relaxing, hopefully when I am back home in London over the summer I can give mudlarking a go. Also Ted's book looks great! #AMudlarksTreasures
Ted's speech is as lyrical as his writing. I highly recommend his book, 'London in Fragments', for all who are as passionate about London's history as he and Nicola.
Nicola, your videos are always a treat but this one especially so when it is a double act of you with Ted Sandling! I could listen to him all day. You spoil us! I didn't want it to end so paused halfway through to go out and do chores, knowing I had more of the treat to enjoy on my return. Thank you both so much. x #AMudlarksTreasures.
Is it just me or could Ted Sandling be Prince Charles impersonator? Especially the way he speaks! Charming. Loved the video and finds today! #AMudlarksTreasures
He looked like a younger version of Prince Charles for sure.
@@marthagraves811 Agree!
#AMudlarksTreasures, be more then happy to bye one but winning a sinead one would be lovely, the story about the ten men making pins was brilliant.
I am an armchair watcher as I have parkinson disease, so I look, forward to you programme and pretty exctied when you find something. I have been watching you and Ted Sanding very interesting. Cheers from Ruth Whanganui New Zealand.
Thank you Ruth! ❤️
Thank you for sharing the facinating history of London almost washed away.
We thoroughly enjoyed that! Ted’s story telling skills are fantastic. Relaxing as always, fab editing + juicy pipes. Loved it! Xx
Josie + Andy
#AMudlarksTreasures
Thanks Josie and Andy! xx
Fantastic video. Ted proved to be a fabulous mudlarking guest. Loved your reading of the letter in French. This is why so many love your channel. #AMudlarksTreasures.
Thank you Rebecca! xx
it's wonderful that a person at his level of knowledge is so willing to share it with others. as a Yank from the States, I am fascinated by the history of Londinium, and am grateful for people like Ted. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to discover my own piece of treasure from the Thames.
#AMudlarksTreasures
Ted is so knowledgeable about the background of the artifacts that the Thames uncovers. I could listen to him all day describing his finds and the history behind them. I would love to own a copy of his book. #AMudlarksTreasures
I would be thrilled to hunt for treasures! #AMudlarksTreasures
I've recently found my own treasure. It's this channel! You help me to sleep every evening. It's calming and gentle for me and perfect for my “hamster wheel” brain. Thank you for your content. #AMudlarksTreasures
Hello! I'm so glad you're enjoying. Xx
Just saw this episode even though it is two years old. It was so informative! I so appreciate your work, Nicola! I learn so much! Thank you.
Absolutely enjoyed this episode as well as all of your prior onea. I am with you in spirit. I can only imagine how exciting the water feels gushing through your boots as you spot another yet exciting piece of history. Thanks for bringing it to us.
You make my weeks! Thank you!! #AMudlarksTreasures
#A Mudlark’s Treasures. Thanks to both of you for a wonderful Sunday afternoon (viewing) lark. Be well.
I know that this would be definitely be my hobby if I lived in London! Not much like it available in Australia, I am afraid, but I do fondly recall coming across and old midden with my siblings when I was about 8 years old. It was in a back paddock on a farm near ours and it was filled with old bottles and a broken soup tureen, parts of a broken old fashioned pram, and lots of other stuff that might have been up to 100 years old. Mum was livid when we decided to cart a whole stack of rubbish back onto our farm!!. I would love to go on a mudlarking ramble anywhere in the UK. Tidal rivers are fascinating in themselves. Love this channel,- and the beautiful French read aloud too! Did you learn the language at school or live in France for a while, Nicola?
So glad Ted found a sardine can! Would love to see his son’s reaction when he sees it!!
#A Mudlark’s Treasure
What an interesting man Ted is. Who would think that a rusty sardine tin could tell us so much? You really have found a kindred spirit. A book written by him would be easy reading and informative.
A mudlarks treasures book , an excellent book to try and win, please.
Make sure you ad add the hashtag #AMudlarksTreasures to your comment to enter the competition Bill!
Great prize fingers crossed Mudlark’s Treasures #Mudlark’s Treasures 👍
Bill
Wow, your French speaking is amazing! Nice and very interesting video, as always. #AMudlarksTreasures
Thank you! x
It's always so amazing to see the great variety of historical treasures along the Thames River. Nicola White, You are my Favourite! Ted you too have such keen eyes finding treasure on the foreshore! So jealous of you guys there! Your videos make me want to visit England on a learning permit to mudlark there. A former USAF Military man stationed there years ago (1990) at RAF Chicksands. So many fond memories of friends made, places travelled, Historical sights visited, there's so much History there... everywhere you go! Keep on Mudlarking! #AMudlarksTreasures.
Oh our wonderful pipe whisperer! So many interesting finds this day. Thank you so much for sharing!
I would love a copy of Ted’s book!! #AMudlarksTreasures
You read French beautifully - not that I'd expect anything less! #AMudlarksTreasures
#"A Mudlark's Treasures - London in Fragments". Looks like a splendid book to learn about the things that show up when people go looking for treasures from history.
Truly delightful to hear you two share about such a range of history and interesting facts on different objects.
