Rare & Mysterious objects found in the River. Magnet Fishing with the
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- In February of 2024 I went magnet fishing with the @PeakyDippers and @Sifinds in the historical town of Windsor, and my first experience at it was SO SO fun and VERY exciting. I must have had beginner's luck as I pulled out what turned out to be one of the rarest of its kind, according to the magnet fishing expert Glen of @PeakyDippers. Also, in this video I see an extremely mysterious find which one of the dippers, Marie, discovered on her magnet! We are really not sure what it is all about so maybe one of you can help! I wasn't sure what to expect at all when I threw the magnet in the river, but by the end of the day I was hooked. Find out what we found in the river here in this video- and let me know what your favourite find is.
Please note that magnet fishing is not allowed in the tidal Thames. The area where we were is the non tidal Thames. All historical artefacts are reported to the museum. All scrap is tidied away by a scrap merchant and there are procedures to follow if you find ordnance.
Thank you to Glen, Marie, Mike, Kirsty, Alison and Rusty for a fabulous day.
The Peaky Dippers support the Acorns Charity www.acorns.org.uk. See link below for the toy drive mentioned in the video:-

Thank you for watching!
Love Nicola
Can you get it up? 😆 Nice one Nicola!
Best laugh on the YT today! Too funny!
You guys could hardly stop sniggering 😂
Could have congratulated him when he duid
Your heavy item appears to be a vintage farm tractor weight. Made of cast iron, several of these are hung on a rack, usually at the front of the tractor, to add weight and stability. One of my old tractors uses weights that are very similar to the one you found.
Thank you
Did you keep it? It would make a wonderful doorstop. 🙂🐈🐈⬛💖🌈
Very clever, Mick. I was going to say some kind of counter weight for a door or window but a tractor weight seems quite likely.
Agree. This identification, if correct, is commonly called a suitcase tractor weight.
You're always so kind and asking how we are doing. How are YOU, Nicola? You bring so much joy to us, I hope you feel the love we're sending back. Great video, thank you for all these adventures you take us on. Have a wonderful and joy filled week!
Thank you!❤
What a lovely group of people! I had heard of magnet fishing but had never realised the range of finds. Boat plaques are a new thing to me, really interesting.
Hi Nicola, I went through a difficult time recently when my son was ill and needed hospitalization. I found your videos so calming and they helped me take my mind off my problems. My son is fine now after surgery. Thank you for your lovely videos. I will be visiting London in May and will keep an eye out for you by the Thames,
I'm so glad your son is better. I hope you have a lovely visit ❤
So soulful. Awesome, exciting, and tranquil all at the same time. Very uplifting editing. Such inviting presentations with wonderfully warm people.
thank you xx
Looking forward to the follow up on Si's magnet!
That key was great! The boat plaques were interesting too!
You have the best friends! Thanks.
Thanks Nicola great finds and fun watching ❤
What a lovely bunch the Dippers are. Thank you for another great video
"Looks like a dinosaur. " I like Si, he is imaginative. 😊❤
Thanks as always for a lark with a difference Nicola. Very enjoyable and interesting finds. Im so glad you had a brilliant day with new friends. They seem a lovely bunch of people. Awe and Si too. Hes a treasure for sure. 😊xx
You’re always a great person and you truly cheer me up! I’m 77 years old and I’m limited in activity because of falling down injuries and subsequent surgeries. I’m adapting and the pains are lesser than in the beginnings. I’m frustrated that I can’t do the ordinary things like just walking and moving about. I look forward to seeing your beautiful and fun channel. Blessings for you and yours…❤🦢❤🦢❤🦢❤
Hi Mary! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. Thinking of you and sending you much love and hugs ❤❤
I've been suffering for many years now reduced to being in a wheelchair it's so frustrating 😫 my latest illness after facing death in January 23 from dka diabetic ketoacidosis and being diagnosed with diabetes t1. I can't get control of my blood glucose levels it's very scary. I've been binge watching your videos trying to take my mind off everything so thankyou hun xx
I got a chance to visit some relatives in England about a year ago and was inspired by this channel to do a little mudlarking myself. My family there knew a local spot that was an old bottle dump and I brought home a few great intact ones. Thanks for the inspo!
Amazing stuff using magnets Nicola. Never seen anything like this before, but really great to watch. They're a nice bunch of people you were with on this day. Many thanks for the presentation.
Keep talking, guys! I found you both years ago when you were guests with Digging Science. I learn and am amazed repeatedly by your finds, knowledge, and humor. I'm 74 and find your adventures highly entertaining.😊
Thank you for introducing the Peaky Dippers. I am now a follower.
hooray!
Hello, Nicola! That was a fun magnet 🧲 fishing episode! It is a very sad time for me, I lost my mom in January & now my Dad’s is dying, But during difficult times like this, I find your videos to be so calming & comforting! Thank you very much 🙂💖
❤
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom, and your Dad. Sending you much love and hugs. And I'm so glad you enjoy the videos ❤
@@nicolawhitemudlark thank you so very much 💖💖💖
Some good finds there , I was amazed at the speed of the tide in some of those shots .
The pert buttox was a great thing ,great laugh, thanks as usual, the peakys seem like a great bunch ,let's not forget Simon your 8n safe hands there hes like good strong cup of tea ha ha enjoyed the show as usual, thanks
It’s wonderful that you not only find treasures but you also are helping clean up the River. Good work!
Nice to see you today. You have the nicest friends. Enjoy
That fist bump left hanging had me on the edge of my seat haha
What a wonderful group! Nicola, always finding the rarest lol😂
Could that metal pipe be a type of mold? That would be very exciting if it was! More like possibly a display in a pipe making store. Cool none the less! ❤️❤️
Sooooooo Brilliant Nicola 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 great hook up with the Peaky Dippers 💥💥💥💥 love all your Larking👌
Thanks Greg! xox
I watched Peaky Dippers and saw you casting your magnet 🙂 now I’ll see it from your perspective 👍 just the greatest 🙂♥️
See you later Tony! x
The Peaky Dippers are a lot of fun. A very interesting video. I’m sure Marie’s key was the key to the castle😂
Nice to see the Peaky Dippers again great bunch of people xxx
I came across your videos about a month ago and have been thoroughly enjoying each and every one. I just watched one from a couple years ago where you gave away one of your green glass fish and the woman that won lives here in the Midwest of the United States and her sentiments were the same as mine, that you've inspired her to try her hand at mud larking. Unfortunately, I live in the Finger Lakes of NY, so the tides don't go out, but I do occasionally search the shorelines, one time finding a silver and turquoise ring.
I love your back stories on the history of the objects you find. I've borrowed my dad's metal detector a couple of times and I once found a coin from the mid 19th century on the property we used to live on. I checked a giant antique map of the area that was in our local inn and saw the name of the gentleman that lived there many years ago. It was nice to make some kind of connection between the coin and its possible history.
I also commend you and your fellow mud larkers for being such good stewards of the earth, not only finding your treasures, but also removing the plastics and other detritus from the Thames, creating art from pieces and shards, and sharing them with the world. I am a big believer in making new from old and not constantly buying new.
Bravo!! 👏👏
Thank you ❤️
What a fun outing at an interesting location.
I found Windsor Castle fascinating when I visited, highly recommended. I didn't have time to explore the town though.
The swan paddling fast in the swift water was great.
Thanks Nicola! 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
Here's a hypothetical metal clay pipe suggestion.
A fisherman/sailor wearing heavy gloves in inclement weather might accidentally crush his clay pipe in the gusty winds or work environment.
So, to fix the problem, he wanted a solid pipe and if it gets the bowl hot, maybe all the better?
I love this!
It could also act as a hand warmer too then maybe!?
Nicola, what an amazing group they are
I love si-finds
Why do your coins stick to magnets, where ours in the USA do not? Your a wonderful, full of life gal, Take care from Wyoming.
People do a lot of that here in the U.S., especially in rural areas of the country. They have found many guns, car parts and old (mid-19th century) coins and bullets from the Civil War. I've not tried it, but it looks like fun. Thanks again for another fun outing with your new friends. Cheers, Nicola.
Love to see everyone laughing & having a great time!!
I've watched your magnet fishing get togethers for a long time now. I have seizures which restricts my outings, but how I would love to do what you do. thank you for cheering up my day. And good luck to you always. xx
That heavy piece looks a lot like a puzzle piece. Loved the video.
Hi, Nicola! A very different, but interesting video. I missed your squirrel, though 🙂Hope all is well with you and yours. Runt and Pandora send purrs and nuzzles!
Thx Dave. Hugs to you all xx
Hi Nicola great show as always love all the boat tags! Please take care and stay safe!
Awesome findings and lovely video with the lovely team and Simon. 😢 sorry for Simon n his magnet 🧲 😢
With love from SAM
Guwahati, Assam , India 🇮🇳 ♥️
What a fun video! Thanks Nicola 🙂
Thank you Nicola for the fun and interesting video. It’s always good to watch your adventures and I’ve learned a lot over the years. Have a great week!
Looks like tremendous fun! Bullets and biscuit tins and boat plaques! Well done!
You are all such a hoot & so kind. I am subscribing to your channel.
Thank you Nicola - I just subscribed to Peaky Dippers and really love their channel - lots of fun, great drone shots and good history lessons.
That 10 pound fine in 1911 would be almost 1,000 pounds today! WOW!
What fun to discover all that metal. The excitement in the air was all around. The amount of metal removed was incredible. I hope the scrap man donates to the charity. Thanks
that was fun Nicola... Nice bunch.
hope your well Nicola
Thanks Nicola, that looked like great fun. The PeakyDippers looked like a great bunch of people! I hope you have an awesome week, sending love back at you!
the metal tobacco pipe probably wasn't from a statue statues are usually bronze
and a magnet wouldn't stick to that..
but who knows maybe a commercial-sign above the door of a tobacco shop...
( and just maybe if they also found an empty can of spinach ?? 💪🤓 )
Nicola you looked like you were having such a good time!! Nice group of folks. The finds were amazing! It never ceases to amaze me when you pull history up from the water!! The Thames doesn’t disappoint! So sorry Si lost his magnet! Love that all the coins go to charity. Keep filming my friend I’ve yet to meet!! Can’t wait for the next one!! Much love from DeeAnn🇺🇸
What a wonderful tie-up video Nicola. Yourself, Si & the PD's. I'll give them a sub for sure. Take care, cheers, John.
Thank you John
I really enjoyed this video Nicola thank you sharing.
Thx Jimmy!
Your welcome@@nicolawhitemudlark
I like the idea that the metal pipe came off a statue. Makes since. Enjoyed this video. Looks like a lot of fun.
Thanks to Nikola I am now your sub!!! I had a great time watching from the Sunshine State Florida! 🇺🇸
Those were great finds, you had a blast great video
Hi Nicola, That was a great magnet fishing
Magnet fishing is very interesting and does a community clean up of the river and you make friends. Fantastic.
😍 That look like a wonderful day Cheers to the Peaky Dippers (& you & Si ) 🥰
£10 from 1911 is about £1476.18 today
Oh my goodness
I always enjoy your super videos! ❤😊
The Peaky Dippers crew look like great folks -- like you, uncovering history along the Thames (and other bodies of water). They have a lot of fun and good humor (some corny jokes!) -- and they get a lot of upper-body workout time magnet fishing!!! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Very snowy weekend here. 40cm of snow so far and still snowing. Crazy weather. So watching you has been pure joy. Thank you Peaky Dippers, Simon and Nicola. I was thinking that maybe the metal pipe fell of a statue.
Thank you ❤
Hi Nicola. It was lovely to watch you all enjoying a day of magnet fishing in Windsor - one of my favourite places in the UK. I have visited the castle multiple times over the years because of it's incredibly ruch history, beautiful setting, scale and grandeur. In fact, I recall paying it a farewell visit in 2018 mere days before emigrating from my hometown of Crystal Palace ,London, to Thailand. Huge mistake but we live and we learn, I suppose. Thanks for the great videos you and Simon make, both collaboratively and individually. For me they are a living link back to happier times.
🙋♀️❤️. What fun! And good for the environment! You always find the nicest, most interesting people!
Hi Nicola, nice to see you looking well and hope that long continues. A recent post on one of my local facebook pages mentions that the castle was nearly built in Staines, but they went for Windsor in the end. Things could have been very different. If Peaky Dippers are looking for a new venue, Staines has a bridge, Walton on Thames has a footbridge next to the road bridge, Shepperton, Sunbury & Halliford all have a lot of history and all with the Thames flowing through them. We are not tidal either (I think that makes a difference with licences etc)
Thank you Tracy!
Your coin wants to stay with it’s buddy ! Funny how that pesky coin keeps jumping back to the magnet ! Wonderful video ! Wonderful people enjoying each others company ❤ LOVE ❤from ARIZONA USA 🇺🇸 TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU ! 🙀👵🏻😱🖖🏼👽🐲🌵🌻
Nicola, I love your channel. As a resident of the US (down in Louisiana, between Baton Rouge and New Orleans) you're helping me learn about your beautiful city and the Thames. Thanks for posting such interesting bits of history.
What a great time with friends!❤
I call them CHEEKY DIPPERS 😂 thanks Simon and guys/gals for getting the trash out of the river. Also, I'm so glad you got your boat plaque Nic - and it was the oldest!
Great video very interesting Nicola
A white rainbow! Lovely.
bullets have lead, best to get them out of the river. Sadfly magnet fishing doesn't remove even 1% of the lead that is there in the depths, because lead is non-ferrous and is not attracted to a magnet. Some of the finds, like the rail track and the bell weight, have significantly more than scrap value. They're just hard enough to handle that they are commonly scrapped. I wish I was there to magnet fish, mudlark, and pick the old dumps. I love picking, but I'm in the USA, so no one can throw me in the Thames for pride of place lol
I'm going to try this when it warms up...😀 This was a BLAST to watch. THANK you, guys ! 😘😘😘
As always great video, from across the pond in Roanoak, Va.
maybe the pipe was used by someone working in hot area's like boiler rooms etc, so the pipe wont crack with heat?
Wow,a ten pound fine in 1911 is the equivalent to 1500 pound in today's money!
Absolutely love these videos, really help to wind down.
I just subscribed to the Peaky Dippers page! Thank you for introducing them to me.
Love the video. Love all the people in the video ❤❤. So sweet.
Bring a packet of cheap baby wipes to wipe things down, when you can’t get to the water to rinse things off.. love all of your videos.. this was fascinating ! Magnet fishing!
I'm not well at the moment. Your videos are so relaxing, theyre an absolute tonic when i need to sit and take a break. I'd never heard if mudlarking before and you all seem like such a lovely group of people. Do you still make glass fish?
Thank you Alice. I'll be making some fish later this year xx
thanks - crap day and you made me feel better!
❤ have a good week xx
Betcha never thought that a old cowboy from North Dakota, America would find your video? Fascinating to watch you folks. I think we do a bit of magnet fishing over here in the colonies! God bless you.
You have such a fun outing. You have me wanting to move to London. So much history in older countries🎉
My weekend is not going well this week my mum was taken into hospital on Thursday she's got a chest infection and is on a antibiotic drip she was diagnosed with mixed dementia last year and her memory is fading fast so I've decided that I will give up full time work to help my wife and the carers look after her she's the only parent I have left my father passed away when I was 18 years old back in 1998
Hi. I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm really thinking about you all and sending you much love ❤️
Sorry to hear about your mom,prayers for your family!🙏🏻
Hi Nicola, I just discovered your show and subscribed to it! I'm in the United States, you have a very interesting show, what you do is very impressive. I hope to see a lot more. I'm a retired Law Enforcement Officer here, and know what the FIND possibilities are for you! Good luck.
Thank you Tim!
Wow, that must be one strong magnet you have. So exciting all the items they and you brought up.
Great to see you and Si out trying your hand at magnet fishing. Some great boat plaque finds. There had to be a pipe! Great Monday morning viewing Nicola! 😊❤
This looks super fun! Great location too!
That boat plaque is older than the Titanic
Oh my goodness so it is!!
I bet that metal pipe came off a statue!
Oooo, good guess! I never even considered that idea.
Really cool adventure! I may need to purchase a magnet!😂 ❤🇺🇸
We used to go magnet fishing in the canals withmy children when they were small 😊
Wow, all my favorite RUclipsrs! Wonderful finds! What a great video, congrats Nicola!
The scenery is always beautiful. And to get the birds and sounds of water life is top notch. But besides your wonderful finds, i love your history lessons.
Peaky Dippers are there with you. They are one if the favorite teams of mine. Northants is another one. Cant firget Rustynuts either.
Glad you enjoyed it x
