Spending 30 minutes or so with Nicola, and friends, with the Thames, with London -- a clay pipe here and there, a coin or two, some fascinating shards of pottery -- and more -- that's when I can relax and "Everything is right with the world." Thank you Nicola!
@@nicolawhitemudlark -- Great stories go along with your adventures, your friends, your discoveries as they happen and your research into your finds. *THAT'S* what makes you Queen of the Mudlarks! Or, as the ancient Romans would say, "Regina inventionis thesauri magni limus" :-)
Dear Niki, what a fun trip!, Just watched Si find a Roman bowl, & now that mourning ring Mike found, like you Brits say, I'm "Gob Smacked"!!!!! I'm enthralled with your history, & just to be able to find it lying around on Old Mother Thames, is fantastic!! Thank you, it's been fun, fun, fun¡!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicola I was thinking to myself, "she's going to pick up that plastic, I know she is..." and you did not disappoint as usual. 1962 was a great year, according to my Mom, my siblings didn't think so, another mouth to feed in the house. Another grand video, thank you for bringing us along on your adventures!
I literally laughed out loud when you found the Im Busy CD, with the song "Leave Me Alone" on it!! That was priceless! You reaction to it was priceless too! You are soooo sweet and kind and I think truly shocked over this message in the mud you found! ( : I loved it soooo much great finds Mike Cuff and everyone! Live when you team up with Mudlarking friends! ( :
I think that one person CAN make a difference. Finding and researching lost history and sharing with the world, being creative and charming and caring and at the same time cleaning up the environment! Nicola White IMO is one person that HAS made a difference! She went from searching for pop bottles for ice cream benefits as a child to Mudlarking Artiste extraordinaire!
@@kentuckylady2990 same here in Boulder Colorado . I had to put an effort into changing the bike routes I used for both getting to work and pleasure after there had been so much goose poop no matter how often it was cleaned up that I got splattered with some on my bike lol. Almost got me in the face!! I've held a serious grudge on them since...
@@nicolawhitemudlark We have a fair sized river going through my city and probably hundreds of ponds built all around the city in the past 30 years. We have several thousand Canada Geese here who are full-time residents. There are V's criss-crossing the city at all times of year.
Me too! My nine year old son has his goose journal here in Edmonton complete with feathers and down. We wondered where they'd gone🍁because you can't cancel thier flights 🌍
@@constancemiller3753 I always enjoy watching them, whether in the air or on the ground. Because of the pretty much ideal environment, they have lots of bugs and other goose forage in the summer, and after harvest, there's lots of field corn kernels and soybeans in the bare fields. It would not surprise me if they went as far as 50 miles outside Des Moines in all directions.
In a world that's been turned upside down, from a place overtaken by madness thank you for sharing some simple pleasures. It's just the respite I need now and then. Consider yourself hugged.
What a lark! My spirits rise when I see a new video by you! I really love looking at all your collections; particularly the rings and pipes. All the best from this ancient Yank! ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
I found the history of the mourning ring so fascinating! I think I might like a ring engraved with the year "2020 pandemic" or something like that to commemorate our global pandemic! Then when I get tired of the ring I can throw it into the Thames for a future mudlarker to find! Then the future mudlarker can tell the people about the ring coming from our era. Also enjoyed you tellng us where the word quarantine derives from! Have to mention I love your hair color..I see you've been over to your hairdresser to have your hair done! It looks gorgeous!
I am always amazed at your alacrity. Thank you for keeping on. Keeping on for those of us who live vicariously through your discoveries and your wonderful research.🌹❤️
Thanks for picking up that plastic. Birds can get it around their neck and then they can't feed anymore. I once found a dead seagull on the beach with those plastic rings around it's neck. Still makes me sad when I think about it.
Hello and greetings from Canada Nicola🙂 I have been watching you and Si for about 6 months now. I don't comment much, I wanted you to know that I love your videos, all your hard work to get them out in a timely fashion! Thank you so much!
I have to tell you Nicola, I came across your channel by chance, binge watched all your videos and then got more and more interested, found Si finds, Northern Mudlarks, Tom Burleigh, the Johnson's, Kit and caboodler's and more. I also discovered that what I had been doing for years actaully had a name- MUDLARKING. I watch all the mudlarkers and have found loads of bottles and artefacts - some of which I have sold n Etsy and Ebay which has now meant that I am gradually paying off my credit card!!! Thank you Nicola for leading me off on this path!!
Magnificent picture of the tall pointed building during day and just slides right into night shot. Love the blue light at the top of it. Very nicely done. Again enjoyed your video. Love all the stories from history. Nice seeing Si, Matt and Cuffs. Thank you . ARROW *🎱. 🇺🇸. ❤️
I cannot tell you how happy I was to find a new Sunday video because it was my 59th birthday. What better gift than a new video of yours sweet lady!! I never tire of searching the Thames with you Nicola!!!
Lovely, soft video this time - wonderful rings for so many different occasions ie: the mourning rings, such a poignant message 🖤 Thank you, Nic - love from Denmark 🌸💕
I can't stop watching your channel, the content is so fun, interesting people, areas, artifacts,and a history lesson, all in one. Loving it‼️ I never look around the beach for artifacts but now I will.
I look forward weekly to your show Nicola. Love the effort you put into learning the history of the objects you find and the backstory of those who produced them.
Always a treat to open RUclips and see a new video! Great views of the wildlife and cityscape. Thank you Nicola for giving us a bright spot in our week. ☀️
Interesting video Nicola, thanks for showing your ring collection. Jewellery is something I never seem to find and it was a real pleasure to see yours x
I just LOVE your history lessons!!! Getting to England was always on my bucket list,and during the pandemic, I discovered that I am 60% English,and the rest is Irish and Scottish,and here I am in the States !!!!! So please keep up the lessons,and I'll be glued!!! Please tell all the Larkers that I said Hi!!! Thanks for all your hard work! Sincerely,Tinker White
Up to now, I've been impressed with your pipe finds, but those rings trump the pipes! The fake diamond is beautiful. The one with five stones looks like the style of rings in our family. Apparently a sea captain in the family came back with a pouch of rubies. Lots of them turned out to be garnets. They still made beautiful rings. Love the stories ❤️
Hello Nicola, I just Sunday's when I get to watch your video's. The Canadian tourists can quite gentle creatures, but they can be nasty when guarding their young. Love the shots of the city also makes me want to come home, I used to live there when I was younger in Weymouth. Looking forward to another Sunday when you do it all over again, Take care and have a great week, Neil.
I, too think that the figure represents a manticore, although it could be a representation of Geryon, as seen in the Cadiz Memorial in Westminster: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A1diz_Memorial
Simply continue to thoroughly enjoy your efforts, finds, video, artwork and your personality! You’re always a treasure to watch! Thank you, from the states!
Greetings from Clay County, Missouri, USA! 40 days, hmmmmm Learn something new everyday, .................. IF I'm humble enough Thanks again! Luv the nature shots, especially the seal. 10 thumbs up! \m/ later
Thank you for your generous gift Lisa thats so kind of you. I'm glad you're enjoying the video. I hope your knee surgery goes well. Enjoy those mudlarking books! Sending you best wishes from London ❤️ xxx
I love that you take time to appreciate the wildlife. I grew up near the Thames in the 50' 60' and 70's and have to wonder how many hundreds of years it has been since the river is as clean as it is today. Nice to think some things are getting better over the years :-)
Love your video Nic ❤👍 And love the geese at the beginning of your video. You always capture the wildlife around the Thames in your videos and I love it, so cool ❤😊 thanks for sharing 👍
Hi Nicola, boy you got my heart racing when l saw all those rings, naturally, being a jeweller l was all a gog. You could do a talk at whatever jewellery schools there are in London, and have all the students excited and enthused. Thanks for showing them to us. Good work.
I’ve seen you with Si lots of times, didn’t know you had your own channel, so now I subscribe to you as well. First of all I love your pink boots. Loved your ring collection. I live in the US and used to go to the river with a friend, we didn’t have as many treasures to find, he was into bottles, I would look for heart shaped rocks, really thin rocks. It was so fun searching, that’s why I love your videos so much, the thrill of the search.
Now you know how I feel when you find all of those treasures on the foreshore . I try not to be envious , but you find some real treasure yourself . , and I just love your studio .
You are so lucky living where humans have been manufacturing artifacts for a couple thousand years. I live on the West Coast of the US. YOU, find a Roman coin, or a 15th century artifact and say: (me trying, but failing miserably to imitate a British accent) “Oh that’s quite nice isn’t it?” And go on about your day. ME, I find a 1955 Penny with my metal detector and scream: “Woo Hoo!” Do a 10 minute victory dance and show everyone I can see, whether or not they care; (I get some pretty strange looks and the odd occasion where the police are called).
Nicky L - Yes, you are right, there ARE some interesting sites I can search, my best find ever is a Spanish 4 Reale piece (silver coin) from an old trading post dated 1732. I theorize it was dropped in the late 18th century (out in the desert). I have also found a Native American stone bowl, which a university investigated and said it could be anywhere from 800 to 2,000 years old, so there IS stuff to find. But compared to this river, they are few and far between. Nicole walks 100 yards and finds artifacts from 50 to 2,000 years old, I AM JEALOUS!!!!!
So your stunt person climbed the ladder 10:30in and you filmed it? Then you waved from the top? 10:55in Now that gets my seal of approval! Phantom comic book hero also wore a skull ring, similar to yours. 26:13in The Merlion with Trident. P.Busy Low. Leave me alone I'm Busy, seems to watch Tv and ignore his kid, before goin into the bathroom to sing in the mirror. Anybody who has 2 phones is usually a Doctor. P.Busy maybe a Doctor of Music [?] Nice job Nicola, Thanks m8!
Love the videos Nicola! Look forward to watching next week from Hospital for knee surgery. Just got 2 books on mudlarking to read too! Wish to come to the Thames someday!
Thanks for another terrific video Nicola. It was quite a thrill to come across this one the same day that it was posted - and it already has more than 13000 views! Love the new jersey as well!
ok I had to put down my peanut butter n honey sandwich. pause the video. wash my hands so I could tell you my grand father died on May 25, 1973. at first the solemn music you chose made me sad but now it's perfect for this video. thanks for yet another pleasurable half hour. : - )
I'm currently reading a biography and the woman had 3 of 4 sons die. She had mourning jewelry made with jet. She mentioned how the weight helped her feel grounded.
I actually love some of the colors on the pipes as soon as you dig them up. Too bad you can't fire one before it turns white. That long one was really pretty!
A friend and I enjoy a pipe of good tobacco together every time we meet up as a little kind of ritual we've been doing for some years now, ever since we spent 2 full seasons together in total solitude on a mountain tending to a large property. We both developed a fascination for the old clay pipes as well and found on Etsy there are alot of folks who carry on the tradition of making them in that very style. Take a peek, they're also very cheap even foe the long or detailed ones. And you're also supporting a small business and keeping a tradition alive.

Hi Mark, you have the same name as my brother.
He's Mark Andrews as well.
Your so lucky to live near there.Here in Maine,USA we don’t find anything old on the beaches. Love all the old clay pipes

You have fine and Fowl (😁) weather! Love watching you!!!
You read my mind with that plastic! THANKS for picking it up, Nicola! Also, the ring with the face is Shirdi Sai Baba.
Thank you! 😘
I love how random bits of broken pottery can reveal little surprises! They are so beautiful in their own unique way 💖☺️

I cannot believe how many clay pipes you find! You have a great eye for spotting cool stuff in that muck!
Nicola you never disappoint with your videos I don’t watch much tv now I only watch mudlark thank you so much
ah glad you enjoy them Susan x
Fascinating I learn something new each time I watch your postings.
Thanks Paul
Great as per usual Nicola, looking forward to your walk through the park one day ..... to rake me back xx
This segment is pure soul treat 💜 Thank you kindly for the educational journey ! Love the very end of the video 😂🥰
Thank you!
I love the CD find! You're definitely busy Nicola! Jewellery would be a great find but you can't go past your amazing pipes! 😊💖
I do find it fascinating when you catch sight of a seal in such an urban area. Very special.❤️
Thanks for picking up that plastic. Birds can get it around their neck and then they can't feed anymore. I once found a dead seagull on the beach with those plastic rings around it's neck. Still makes me sad when I think about it.
yes, it's very sad indeed
Thank you for posting Nicola. I had never heard of mourning rings before!
It's beautiful to see London with blue skies -- I think that when I was there in the mid-1970's there was a law against blue skies! Cheers!

Another awesome video, thank you Nicola. Wow some incredible finds!! The ring Mike found is amazing, especially to have all that information on it 😊
I look forward weekly to your show Nicola. Love the effort you put into learning the history of the objects you find and the backstory of those who produced them.
Sounds like a lucky day! A Ring... and a very lovely button, a pipe or two and some geese to share your day with.
Those geese were in my back yard on Tuesday with about 100 others. I always look forward to seeing you Nicola. Stay safe.
I honestly would watch multiple videos of you panning over your find trays narrating little stories 😊
OK! noted. Will do some similar
Always a treat to open RUclips and see a new video! Great views of the wildlife and cityscape. Thank you Nicola for giving us a bright spot in our week. ☀️
Hi Nichola, always great to watch your videos, loved the night shots of London, such a magic city. X
Thanks Susan! X
so pleased you picked up the plastic ! you are turning me into a mud larker!
Oh How I love Sunday, Nicola another awesome video, nice seeing Simon and Matt, meeting Mike , keep them coming my love and stay safe ❤️🇨🇦

The Shard is quite beautiful lit up! It must be especially magical, being on the shore at night!

Apparently a sea captain in the family came back with a pouch of rubies. Lots of them turned out to be garnets. They still made beautiful rings. Love the stories ❤️
Pat Sutherland Garnets were once, and in my opinion still should be, more valued than rubies
Loved the opening with the parade of your homies!
Thank you! yup, my home geese :)

Another lovely offering Nicola. Keep em coming. X. Iain Leeds Yorkshire.
Great video, Nicola. Stunning videography!
Thank you!
I'm amazed........ You've got such a good eye for spotting things. I would never had seen the corner of that plaque you pulled out of the mud. :)
Love the idea of the mourning ring
The button: a dragon holding a trident?
You do know many if us anxiously await our sunday morning dose of your video?
Or Sunday evening if you're here in the UK! 🇬🇧
Is it meant to be a Sea 'Lion'?
I think its a sea horse holding a trident.
@@Beth_D An Essential part of my (and probably quite a lot of people's) Plans for the day😄

Excellent as always Nicola, did you see Si's lovely Roman pot, smashing. Keep looking. Stay safe. 🇨🇦🐘😘
Heh. Maybe don't use the word, "smashing," next to "pot".

We both developed a fascination for the old clay pipes as well and found on Etsy there are alot of folks who carry on the tradition of making them in that very style. Take a peek, they're also very cheap even foe the long or detailed ones. And you're also supporting a small business and keeping a tradition alive.
