  • Is there enough information on this find for us to find out exactly who owned it? My favourite kind of mudlarking find is one which I can link back to a person or a place. This find has a name on it!! And it also has some other info. The challenge is on to find out who it belonged to. Can you help?!
    In April I was lucky enough to search a beautiful secret location near Holland with my mud buddies ‪@Sifinds‬ and ‪@MudBagger406406406‬ . We had a wonderful time and found some beautiful treasures.
    If you know anything about any of these finds, please let me know!
    Thank you for watching.
    Nicola White

    The winged wheel is from the national railway co. of Belgium. That design was used from 1835 to 1870. The little lion was also from Belgium. The mystery wallet medal is a Beggars Badge originally created in 1566 by Protestant Dutch who wore it as a patriotic medal. King Phillip of Spain was on one side and two hands clasped inside the opening of a begger's bag on the other. The inscription was " In all fidelity to the King, even to carrying a beggar's sack"

      As Nicola mentions, many different entities have used, and indeed many still do use, the winged wheel and crown as their identity. The national Danish railways DSB is one, and some of their old designs resemble this one as well.

      @VenusDeMilitant Год назад +3

      @@dorric123 Very true but the angle of the wings and details of the crown (also looking at the amount of french wordage on the beach they appear to be on the Belgiun coast) make them each a bit different.

    That cobalt blue bottle looks like the bottles that held *_Evening in Paris Parfume_* that my mother wore around 1953. It had a delightful scent and when my mother and my dad were going out on a date, she would splash a bit around her neck and her earlobes. Now, being a logical little child, I assumed that anything that smelled that heavenly...that good, *_MUST_* also taste good. Like I said...logical
    One day, when my mother was busy and otherwise occupied, I crawled into the bathroom. Putting my vast amount of knowledge that I had amassed over 18 months, I saw a way up that great pinnacle of the bathroom counter. *THERE* ahead, was the treasure that beckoned me on. My quest was now at hand!
    My first swallow from that gorgeous blue bottle was a disappointment and burned my throat as I swallowed it. I just needed to drink a bit more...maybe?
    After downing a complete bottle of "Evening in Paris", I guess the scent wafted through our little home to the nostrils of my mother. Panicked calls to my doctor with assurances that I may be quite drunk for a bit (about 190 proof parfume) there shouldn't be any long-term effects.
    Short term effects...? Well, that's another matter, altogether. For about 7 days after my gastronomic expedition, my nappies had the smell of "Evening in Paris", along with semi-digested strained peas, and carrots and milk. I guess my mother had her reasons...but, she never replaced that bottle of parfume, and would become nauseous whenever she smelled it.
    Logical? Yes. Smart? Not really...

    Hi Nicola. I've actually sailed on the Uganda. Before the Falklands War she had been used for many years as an educational cruise ship. It gave a lot of school children the chance to see a little bit of the world by cruising aboard her. I went with my school, in 1981 I think, on a cruise around the mediterranean visiting the sites, I saw many Roman and Greek ruins and cities, visited the holy land and Jerusalem plus many more stop offs. I also think it was mid cruise when the Falklands War was declared and the kids who were aboard her at the time had to be flown home early. She was a lovely old ship

    Hi Nicola! The interesting pendant is from the Liberaal Vlaams StudentenVerbond (Liberal Flemish Students Association), an organization for Dutch speaking students in Belgium. The Liberal Archive in Ghent has an identical one in their collections. The "IVSQVES A PORTER LA BESACE" design goes much further back in history to the Dutch Revolt during the Eighty Years' War where it appeared in identical form on Geuzen or Sea Beggars' medals in 16th century.
    The winged wheel button resembles the logo of the the Danish state railway (DSB), but several other railways in Europe have also used very similar logos.
    Thanks as always for your wonderful videos.

    Hi Nicola. I have been following you for about 18 months. This particular post is particularly poignant for me. In 1982 I was serving with the Royal Navy in the south Atlantic. The ship I was on was hit and sunk on May 25th. I was wounded and spent some time on the SS Uganda as a patient before going to Montevideo and then home. I am still in touch with nurses and crew from then. Many thanks. Nick

    This is what i found about the pendant. It's called a Beggers badge DATE 1566 ORIGIN Europe, Netherlands Some are made of Gold. A small group of curious medals, collectively known as "Beggars' Badges" are amongst history's truly notable emblems of the never-ending quest for religious and political liberty. Created between 1566 and 1580 by Protestant Dutch patriots, Beggar's Badges became widely worn patriotic symbols in their protracted war for freedom from Spain. Bearing a portrait of King Philip of Spain on the obverse and two hands clasped inside the opening of a beggar's bag on the reverse, this well executed badge also carries the inscription "In all fidelity to the King, even to carrying the beggar's sack."

    Hey Nicola ✨️
    I always like the inclusion of wildlife in your videos, especially those that visit your home. Many years ago I had just finished the school run and upon getting home we duscovered a fox and her 6 cubs sun bathing on our back lawn. I had discovered freshly dug soil behind my shed and knew it wasn't a tunnel from the 'great escape'....we went into the garden and the cubs ran down the fox hole....the mum got up stretched and went to the hole, called to them and walked towards us (about 5 feet away), layed back down and the cubs followed.....I said to my very young children that they now trust us, so always remember that, but respect them and keep a safe distance if they come out. During their stay and until they left, they never messed in the garden. I still have the pics I took.
    I now live in a rural village and I cannot get the wild birds to feed from my feeder 🤦, neighbours have same problem...pour the seed on the lawn and down they come.
    Finds like the miniature heron are meant for you.
    Stay Safe Always 🦋🌻🕊☯️☮️🧡🫶

    This beach is amazing! While you were picking things out, I kept looking around the screen and wondering what's that? That's typical, but today it was what's that, and that and that and that? So many little bits!
    Also, on the memory game: I worked with kids for more than 30 years and we would often play a variation: we'd gather in a circle around a group of disparate little objects and take some time to try to remember them. Than a volunteer would leave the room and the rest of us would choose one thing to remove. Then we would call the child back in to see if they could pick out what was missing. It always amazed me who the kids were who were either terrible at it, or those who would know what was gone as soon as they came to the circle. We'd even make the game harder -- add more objects, re-arrange them once the whiz kid left the room -- and some would still just glance and know. Others who were good would need to take some time and then figure it out. I think these kids would make fantastic mudlarkers. And I feel like you and Si would probably do well at our game! (by the way, I was one of the terrible players; the kids would get such a kick out of me struggling while they all knew the answer.)
    And, Mrs. Fox! One of my other favorite RUclips channels is Wildlife Aid. They just posted a video yesterday about a fox getting its head stuck in a bottle. I haven't watched it yet, but my first thought on seeing the thumbnail was, 'Is that fox a mudlarker?'
    Finally, Nic, your videos do so much to make my week better, especially when the week has been emotionally challenging. This week was an especially grueling one, but letting myself sink into the gentle, generous flow of your kindness was so sweet and calming. Thanks so much!

    ​​edit, Hello from West Coast California, From Wikipedia:
    “A two-winged wheel on a Deutsche Bahn (German railways) building in Dresden. A winged wheel is a symbol used historically on monuments by the Ancient Greeks and Romans and more recently as a heraldic charge. The symbol was associated with the Ancient Greek god Hermes and as a representation of the chariot (or velocipede) of Triptolemus. In heraldry the symbol has been used to represent transport, speed and progress. A three-winged wheel was chosen as the logo of the British Cyclists' Touring Club and at one point was considered "cycling’s most famous symbol". A two-winged version formed the logo of the London General Omnibus Company and, after a merger, formed the basis of the modern London Underground roundel.” Maybe it’s a bus or underground uniform button.

    Hello Nicola. Was introduced to your channel by Paul from ‘Well, I Never’ today. Clicked on your link he had included today & I’m so glad I did. You have a new subscriber & I have a lovely new channel to watch! I’ve always had a knack for finding little lost things & love what you do. Thank you for taking me along.❤

    Nicola I love your intro, always a moment of peace. The knot looks familiar, it's a Winged wheel. But no further information was found. Beautiful funds again, even in the Fabs.
    I love the fox

    'My' little garden squirrel actually knocks on the back door if I haven't put nuts out for her 😍. I thought she had disappeared to l but spotted that she's been stashing some of the nuts I've been leaving as well as feasting on the last of the cherries from my tree - so much fun having wildlife visitors ❤

    The shoe reminded me of a non-fiction book by Jack London, The People of the Abyss. He spent several weeks about 1903 living with the homeless in London. One thing that struck him was that the London poor were literally a head shorter than members of the upper class. (Eating enough, especially eating enough protein, makes children grow. Jack London was a strapping 5'11".)

    I enjoy your videos so much!If you ever wanted to have a separate channel of the different birds that you see,I would happily watch that,too! The little bottle with the adorable tiny flowers in it,at the end,was so sweet! I look in the rest of the frame when you find things,and think of what I would pick up.Lots of times,I lean towards the rocks,as I am principally a rockhound.It would be delightful to be able to hound the foreshores,as you do.Did you end up keeping the fragment of pottery with the nymph on it?That was pretty cool! My husband and I live near old bottle dumps in a historic gold mining town in California.We used to find old pipes and all of the same things that you scout for.We were into old bottles then.We still have some,but his back,and my knees have made us choose other forms of entertainment.Thank you for sharing your adventures.It is fun to see what the British Isles has.

    Your female fox may be eating for her family. As for the parakeet I think it is a small parrot of some kind.
    All I get are wild turkeys, red and black squirrels and chipmunks. I forgot to mention a family of raccoons.
    Can’t complain can I.
    Your finds were so beautiful.
    The blue bottle with flowers in it is charming.
    Did you keep the blue paper weight?
    Some short videos would be nice.
    Till next time, bye from Ontario 🇨🇦Canada.

    You had some amazing finds as always. I do love seeing all the wildlife that visits you. I have my own ‘zoo’ that visits every afternoon. I have 16 different species of birds that come for a feed and some of which I’m able to hand feed! I actually hand raised a currawong that I released in my backyard and he comes every day and even still gives me kisses. I love seeing him out living his best ‘wild’ life.

    Well, you had an for the key, and you got an eye for the key, that worked out nicely! What a muddy, messy, magical place the Thames must be, if only there was a place like that, nearby to me, Id be hunting all day as much as I could, if I lived near the Thames I definitely would!... Australia, 235 years of colonization doesn't make for ancient historical finds, just on rare occasions, but not by me!... Im a bit worried about your squirrel, do you think mother fox might be the reason?... Thank you Nicola, for a wonderful outing! Cheers!

    I have to wonder Nicola, if they ever dredge parts of the Thames what would they find? You find cool items on top, but beneath is 1000’s of years of history. Wild animals know a good heart when they sense it, so they must think you’re a pretty cool chick. 😊
