I’ve no idea how this ended up in my recommendations and I've less idea why I started watching it, but boy I'm glad I did. So much fascinating stuff, real stuff that real people used. Some of the pottery was staggeringly interesting, and how does a bullet break into pieces but all the pieces remained in the same place. However it happened it was a big piece of lead to hit anyone with. An absolutely fascinating video, made all the more fascinating by an expert who seems to have a true empathy with those who went before.
You know when a passing interest turns into a passion when you start googling "Mudlark ,Nicola White , Thames Mud,Ceramic shards"and you see it as another branch of Archeology and History and your heart sings when UTube suggests Nicola might be of interest .....and it is .Thank you Nicola you're a delight
One of the things that I find most fascinating about your videos is the combination of random chance (in terms of what you will find) and the complete delight that you take in what you do. The mixture is delightful, and it appeals to my appreciation of history and everyday life. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us.
How cool that a spoon from my home town ended up in London! I currently live only one block away from where the Genesee Hospital School of Nursing had been located. I am also on track to becoming a nurse myself! I watch your videos to relax for a few minutes in between by crazy work and school schedule. Thank you for posting such fascinating finds!
Ha ha! I was just thinking - Nicola could make a random Thames necklace, adding found beads after each mud larking adventure, and then you said the same thing 😂❤ Each bead or couple of beads you add would be decided by the river, designed by river. You could get some plain beads and use them to space out each addition. That way you could see how many beads you had found on each mud lark. Ooooooo, I’m so envious, I have so many ideas for assembling finds. I just love watching your discoveries and hearing about any history you uncover in your research etc. ❤ I LOVE it, thanks for sharing your videos. So appreciated. 🙂🐿❤️🌈
Bottle digger tip- soak bottle with dish soap, pour a small amt. of dry rice inside half full of water/ plug bottle, and shake until clean inside. Rice won't hurt the bottle, and cleans a treat.
Your fascination with that spider really shows your amazing curiosity for even the smallest things. I love your videos, really relaxing and refreshing.
Keep feeding your crow and he may bring you some treasure. They can be quit friendly and protective once they have adopted you. Hove a wonderful and safe holiday season.
My jackdaws have so far, brought me; - a lot of little twigs, one at the time, always placed in the spot where the piece of bread was - a lot of feathers, same story, always one - a screw with two bolts on it - Half of a wallnut-shell - A plastic nerfgun-arrow - And yesterday (23-5-2020) a piece of folded aluminiumfoil :)
Hello Nicola, i love you, and your videos. Because of you i start to mudlarking in river Tejo (Lisbon). Soon i give pictures to what i found! Nice christmas to you and to your family!
I believe the heart-shaped fossil is a sea urchin! So cool! Thank you so much for your lovely videos, Nicola -- they have been a source of calm and distraction during these tricky times. Love from a Canadian healthcare worker.
WOW! I'm from Rochester, NY! Genesee Hospital was torn down in the 1990's, I think. I got stitched up there once. Huge mudlarking fan and your videos are my favorite. 🙂
Beautiful, Nicola. That bottle is exquisite, as is the pipe bowl. As for the pottery with ‘tr’ on it, I think you’ve found the coat of arms of the Triffids, judging by the foliage! Merry Christmas, and may your new year be filled with intact clay pipes of rare design.
.577-.450, For the Martini rifle of Zulu War fame. The case was for .577 Snider conversions, but necked down for a .450 bullet, of course if the bullet does measure larger than .450 in diameter, 11.5mm, then it may be for the Snider, .577 or just about 14.5mm diameter.... This is why I want to mail you the book by Ian Hogg about ammunition, once I get another copy. It is complicated...but the .577 Snider is 1860s-1870s and the .450 Martini round is 1870s-1880s... both used the same case, but different bullets. Compare it to your Snider round, i know you found one. You mention the "Christmas Shopping Madness".... I haven't left home since going grocery shopping Friday , an Amazon delivery truck wrecked in my yard that night, hit by another truck.... "Madness" is an understatement! Great video! :) And Merry Christmas everyone!
Thanks for another good video, enjoying the editing. I’m convinced the BBC needs to give you your own show. Have a holly jolly Christmas from Michigan!
The beads are wonderful - especially the heart-shaped one - really hope that you do make a necklace from your collection of beads. The fossil is so unique and looks like a mushroom. So many nice little Christmas presents offered to you by the Thames. Happy Holidays and may the new year bring you many more amazing finds!
Merry Christmas And Happy New Year!!!.when you found the bullet there's a coin under the cable and a fancy white heart there too!!, thanks for story's!!!
Merry Christmas Nicola. Thank you for lovely contribution to my life. I love your vids and look forward to each new one. I live in Australia and am envious how you can find such old relics with such ease. Hope you have a great New Year. P.S. I could listen to your gentle voice for hours.
I lived in London in the late 90's and would have been mud larking every day if I was up on the history of the Thames. Love your finds and art you create with the bits and pieces. please keep making these videos!!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours! The crow is a sacred animal to Cherokee and Native American Indians. Wise, mischievous and jovial, a true wise bird . You have a great protector there in friend crow. Love the tall blue glass bottle too. Very pretty. And the spider is keeping your windows clean of flying insects. Love his cross design on his back.
It’s so relaxing and educational watching your videos. I recently stumbled across you and have now added mudlarking on the Thames to my bucket list. It’s just so fascinating all that history at your feet. It’s still Christmas here but Boxing Day for you so I wish you a happy Boxing Day and hope you had a good Christmas
thanhs, this is what youtube is for , lovely vodeos . im a metal detectorist in germany, i know its not allowed on the thames but you do your hobby for the love of the history and not for profit, great.
Nicola, Thank you for all you do and all the hard work you put into it,From going out in the London weather to the editorial and amazing finds, all fantastic. I wish you an your loved one and everyone that follows you a Happy and Very Merry Christmas.
Yay, another lark before Christmas! Such a beautiful pipe, a wonderful find! I, also, love that you threw the love token back into the river, what a lovely heart you have! I hope you and those you cherish have a very Merry Christmas, my friend! Hugs all the way from Michigan!! ~Jen
Your videos are so soothing. I wish we could touch the items we find and see a brief history on them. Merry Christmas and may you find an intact onion jar next year! ( or the Holy Grail, your choice. 😊 )
Lovely finds and very interesting mudlark - thanks for letting us tag along - indeed lovely to escape the commercial madness of the Festive Season!! Peace, Health & Happiness & countless happy mudlarks throughout the New Year, Nicola, Merry Christmas! 🕸🥂☃🐾✨🎅
As always a lovely video 😀 Thanks so much for sharing. Enjoy the Christmas festivities and be well, stay safe and have a nice relaxing break. Looking forward to your next video. Dave👍
I would like to say something,after watching yet another enchanting video. So,you film yourself showing all of these marvels. And your fingernails are beautifully painted all glittery,which is lovely. BUT. Beware the glitter. Glitter is literally ready made microplastic. It ends up in the waterways that we cherish so much. The fish ingest,the waterfowl ingest,and eventually,we ingest. Your hands are a thing of beauty,because they are the hands of an ARTIST. They need no embellishment. They are beautiful the way they are. They speak to us,the observers of art,the sharing of an experience. 🥰
I appreciate your videos so much because you include lovely shots of the area you are in, and vignettes of history of the pieces you find, I find myself quite relaxed after watching one. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I want to thank you for your videos. I'm an American and my teaching work has taken made from Germany to Singapore and Mexico City to Quebec. However, I never got to the British Isles. Watching your videos I feel as though I'm getting a very personal look at part of London.
Merry Christmas Nicola. Blessings from above to you. Love your videos and the ancient history you guys have. Actually a little envious. My folks came from Holland after the war. Lots of historical items found in Holland too ....thanks
So happy to get a Christmas gift of a mudlark with you Nichola! The basket weave pipe is my absolute favorite! It's just stunning workmanship! Merry Christmas to you and a very happy new year!
Your videos are so relaxing but exciting at the same time. I hope the crow brings you gifts. They are quite smart and attracted to shiny objects, so please keep feeding him. Merry Christmas!
Your videos have such a peaceful feeling, so enjoyable. Love the basket weave bowl. How nice throwing the tag back in the Thames. Merry Christmas Nicola.
Nicola, Bother Crow must be your spirit animal, where I come from Bother Crow is the most powerful of the totem animals, wise above all others. You have been blessed with a great protector.
Nicola that red bead you found could be from fishing tackle, they use a lot of multi faceted red needs in the industry. I really liked it when you changed to Pink Wellies, I have watched other mudlarker videos and way off in the background I could see an indistinct figure, with pink boots on. Your look is famous. Love your show beautiful Mudlarker, keep bringing up the history!!
Blessings of the Christmas season to you Nicola. Thank you so much for today's video. I enjoy them all so much & to be greeted with your Christmas wishes is extra special. I've also enjoyed getting to see you with Si-Finds. I finally subscribed to his channel & enjoy his well done videos.
Great video as always. Excellent history of the treasures discovered. I reviewed many of the comments and always find a knowledgeable following. Thanks for sharing your hard work and knowledge.
The cartridge is a .577 for the Snider Enfield rifle, the first successful metalic cartridge used by the British, it came after the P53 Enfield muzzle loader and was replaced by the 577/450 Martini Henry. Your cartridge would date to the 1870's or there about.
WRXS She has a .577 Snider round she found, this one looks like the .450 for the Martini. Her Snider round is almost strait walled, this one has a more pronounced neck. They both used the same case...the .450 was necked down.
@@colarisaka Dustin thank you for the comment, as a collector and a reloader for the Snider and the Martini Henry I can assure you this is a .577 Snider cartridge, when new or resized the Snider case has a taper at the case mouth, also the projectile in Nicola"s hand is much larger than a .45 cal Martin Henry projectile.
WRXS It may be, but I know the Snider case was necked down for the .450 Martini bullet.... scale is difficult to comprehend when seeing anything in a video. I think it's a .450 Martini round, I could be wrong... You think its a .577 Snider round, you could be wrong! It doesn't matter.... But! I want to send Nicola a copy of the "Illustrated Ammunition" book, I'm watching a copy on eBay... maybe you could send her a 1000ths/MM pocket micrometer .... that'll keep us bullet nuts from ending up in pistol duels at 30 paces! :D Merry Christmas friend. (its a .577-.450!) :)
If you look closely at the pottery fragment it says TRA. Maybe that will help with identifying it. I watched this with my kitten and he kept hitting the screen and pausing the video when the flying seagulls were on. We both loved the video and wish you a Merry and Furry Christmas! ☃🐈💝
Thank you so much for the lovely videos, Nicola! Always enjoy watching your discoveries. Would love to see a time lapse showing one of your clay pipes fading from the black to that ivory color once out of the Thames - it’s hard for me to picture that drastic change happening all on its own! Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year!
USA HERE: Nicola, again a very nice video which excites me and also calms me at the same time. Merry Christmas and may your New Year be a peaceful and beautiful year. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
I agree with Genesee Hospital. I worked their and we had a display of historic items in lobby. Sadly the hospital has been closed for a long time now. I live in Rochester New York and was fascinated with the connection this is my 5th video watched have been total Geeki ! Thank You. Hope you continue putting out content . went to your art studio link no items .
I so respect the fact you return things that are meant to be returned to the river for whoever it was meant for.
I’ve no idea how this ended up in my recommendations and I've less idea why I started watching it, but boy I'm glad I did.

My jackdaws have so far, brought me;
- a lot of little twigs, one at the time, always placed in the spot where the piece of bread was
- a lot of feathers, same story, always one
- a screw with two bolts on it
- Half of a wallnut-shell
- A plastic nerfgun-arrow
- And yesterday (23-5-2020) a piece of folded aluminiumfoil
:)
Thanks for brightening my day. You may not realize how therapeutic spending time with your videos can be for someone.

Nice thought about returning the "tag" to the Thames from "Terry" Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Loved looking at the beautiful spider web! I love all your videos and how you include the beautiful nature around you, like your friend the crow💕

You beat me to it!
I am behind you in this identification.
Beat me to it! My friend hand loads this cartridge for a Martini rifle he restored. An interesting bit of history to find!
travis cochran I've seen surplus Martinis rebarreled for .303, .416 Rigby, .45-70, .30-06, .50-90 and .45-110! Very versatile action!
Not a .45" boxer round, see my response a few posts above.
Thanks for another good video, enjoying the editing. I’m convinced the BBC needs to give you your own show. Have a holly jolly Christmas from Michigan!
Don't do it..BBC will ruin it.
What is your shop on Etsy called. I would like to purchase something. Like your fish!
Right?! ( :
Much more pleasant being with you Nicola!

So many nice little Christmas presents offered to you by the Thames. Happy Holidays and may the new year bring you many more amazing finds!
Merry Christmas Nicola thanks for the lovely walks and for including the Christmas spider!
Alanna Penner the Christmas spider is certainly a wonderful surprise! Very good luck I hear.

“Huge spider web with a BIG spider...” Hee hee hee that was funny looking at this from my house here in Australia....big spider......
I get so much happiness from your vids. My sis digs in banks and mud for Antiquities too. I have turned her on to your Channel.
Merry Christmas Nicola. Blessings from above to you. Love your videos and the ancient history you guys have. Actually a little envious. My folks came from Holland after the war. Lots of historical items found in Holland too ....thanks

Merry Christmas Nicola! Thank you for making these lovely videos during 2018.
Just watching - I am living in Poland - good job done by Nicola.
Your videos have such a peaceful feeling, so enjoyable. Love the basket weave bowl. How nice throwing the tag back in the Thames. Merry Christmas Nicola.

Merry Christmas Nicola, another great adventure mudlarking, fascinating finds👍🏻👏👏🎄🎁🎁🎁💐🇦🇺👍🏻👏💐💐
Merry Christmas Nicola! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
It's super cool to see you return some things to the river.
Nicola that red bead you found could be from fishing tackle, they use a lot of multi faceted red needs in the industry.
I really liked it when you changed to Pink Wellies, I have watched other mudlarker videos and way off in the background I could see an indistinct figure, with pink boots on. Your look is famous. Love your show beautiful Mudlarker, keep bringing up the history!!
So impressed with the efforts put in to identifying the spoon! I love your larks.
Merry Christmas, Nicola! That basket weave pipe was one of my favorites you've found. Hope the new year is just as wonderful as this one.

Ok I'm am totally addicted to this channel and want to do this when I visit London again! Greetings from the states!
i enjoy all your videos, they are very teaching, and of course its always a pleasure to look at a beautiful woman like you, a true queen
Hi Nicola..Thanks for sharing your video's,looking forward to next year's..Happy Christmas..

Blessings of the Christmas season to you Nicola.
Thank you so much for today's video. I enjoy them all so much & to be greeted with your Christmas wishes is extra special.
I've also enjoyed getting to see you with Si-Finds. I finally subscribed to his channel & enjoy his well done videos.
Having looked on ancestry there was a Terry passed away march 1996
Could be a pet.
Great video. Love the history behind the spoon. Jason
Great finds as always. The basket weave pipe bowl is lovely. x

merry Christmas and a happy new year to you Nicola and all the Mudlarks and mudlark fans
That was lovely Nicola. Merry Christmas!
I love your channel with the history lessons

I live in Rochester New York and was fascinated with the connection this is my 5th video watched have been total Geeki ! Thank You. Hope you continue putting out content . went to your art studio link no items .
