Mudlarking with Nicola White &

- Join me as I go to Keighley in Yorkshire to meet up with Tom Burleigh, an artist and Mudlark. Tom takes me to the River Aire where we search for treasures on the banks of the River. It is particularly muddy as it rains more and more throughout the day! We discover treasures from the past lost or discarded at the beginning of the 20th century. Tom also tells me about the legend of East Riddlesden Hall, and the reason why the River Aire is constantly trying to escape from it and its notorious17th century occupants. As usual, there are so many stories behind simple objects which the river throws out. We find bottles, pipes, stoppers, old toys, shoes and ornaments, and it's hard not to spend time imagining where they came from before they ended up in the mud of the Banks of the River Aire!
Tom Burleigh has a wonderful channel which you can find @tom_burleigh
You can follow me on twitter and instagram @tidelineart
Thank you for watching.

Looks like a vintage radio tuning capacitor at 20:36, I used to use them when constructing crystal radio sets in the 70's
Wow so near from where i was born...made me homesick...loved it nicola...thank you....xxxx
‘Riverbanksy’ - Love it!
Fascinating..! Thanks Nic... . . Tom the River Banksy is great.. Real peaceful style.. what a fun guy (fungi..) !
Thanks Sean! When are we going to do a detecting collaboration then!? X
@@nicolawhitemudlark Soon... sorry life has been a bit hectic. . x
What a great lark with Tom! We love the Elephant. It's funny that you, Tom and Alex and I all found something Elephant related in our videos this week! Gail and Alex xx
Hi Gail and Alex. Yes, Elephants galore. Hope to get up to see you both soon. Let me know what month is best to come and where is best to get a train to - if you would like to do a collab? xx
Elephants are good finds. In my culture, If you ever find one with the trunk up that's rare and means good luck.
Difference in pipes 👍 the elephelant led toys and cow headless horse. Thanks for sharing your video with us all ❤️. Your friend Shirley from new Bern, north Carolina USA ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😊
As I watch each episode, I follow where you are on Google Earth. It's a great way for this Oregonian to understand how the Thames weaves through London and environs. And now I know how the River Aire divides Keighley from Riddlesden, how it originates at Malham Tarn, and all about Riddlesden Hall and those awful Murgatroyds. I can't thank you enough!
Thank you!
The nursery rhyme is 'Ding Dong Bell'! Love your channel, thank you for your videos - they are keeping me company while I'm stuck at home x
Mudlarkers are such a lovely community.
Oh Yas!!! I do love it when you take us down the rivers❤❤❤❤❤
I was born 20 miles away. Love Tom, he's our river Womble.
Fabulous finds nicola well done and thank you🤩👍🤗🙏🙏
I bet some where there is a little critter that has a trophy wall of all the heads from the metal "toy" people. Delightful video.
Thanks Rebecca x
Yet another quality and informative video Nicola.I never tire from watching them.
Thank you! Thanks for watching x
Another amazing video from the Queen of mudlarking.
You live a remarkable life Nicola thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you. And my pleasure. x
What a pretty area! I love those birch trees. The sound of the river is lovely, lots of children’s things. Yes! Puff balls we called them!
There are Puff Balls & also Earth Balls very similar & bigger.
Some naughty children would step on them in the late summer, early fall....but not ME!
;)
Good morning Nicola... lovely video - as always! Not one of you videos has ever disappointed! Thank you ❤
Nicola I was excited to see that you were doing a "lark" with the mysterious Tom Burleigh. I subscribe to his channel as well, and very much enjoy them. I thought perhaps we would at last see him in the flesh...but you stayed true to his mystery and did not let us see him...oh well a great lark!!
Thanks Mark! Yes Tom remains a mystery
Few things give me greater pleasure than to hear the excitement in your voice when you find something cute 🤗
ha ha thanks!
“some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth.”
Great video adventure Nicola. I have watch many of Tom's video as well and love them as well. you video's help me get through these very cold snowy days. Looking forward to spring so I can get out and metal detect. Take care. Your Friend Steve Bonds from Bay City Michigan USA
That Elusive Tom Burleigh was all over RUclips today....but never seen...yes, River Banksy is a good name for him. What an enjoyable outing, albeit a very, very rainy one for you. Your treasures are always inspiring. And yes, those could have been gem puffballs that you spotted on the bank. Altogether an exciting visit to Yorkshire to not see Tom. ;-) Looking forward to seeing you visit the Northern Mudlarks, too. Your suggestion to visit their channel has made many viewers their subscribers as well. Thanks, Nicola.
Most delightful Nicola! Thank you for sharing with us...
This is a wonderful video. The finds were so different from those on the Thames. Fascinating! Thank you for taking us along. I'm a new subscriber and Anglophile stuck in Chicago. I get such a vicarious thrill from your mudlarking. :)
Thank you very much Leslie Anne. Glad you are enjoying x
Giddy with green envy I am. I would be loading up bucket loads and paying premium shipping costs to get all those wonderful finds back to Minnesota. So it’s just as well that I live vicariously through you. Thank you so much for sharing all your fun and excitement! ❤️
Lol. But it’s hauling it through customs and trying to explain poison bottles and lead. ❤️❤️
I swear I could smell the river and the mud while watching this one! Loved it!
...and the mushrooms and rain...
Thank for sharing, Nic. I've subscribed to Tom's channel.
Thank you Tobias! X
15 minutes in~ tell me you pitched a tent and stayed longer. The animals with fantastic details alone are a wonder! Cheers to your 'Riverbank Banksy'!
I am having so much fun with you this evening! Thanks for the adventure Friend🤗
Screaming at the screen a tiny bit was hoping to see what Tom looks like after all this time lol great collaboration
Hi Nicola, how much better could it get? My two favourite mud larkers together, wow how lucky are we....A big thank you for such wonder videos on both channels xxx
Thank you Kyla! x
So happy to see you mudlarking with Tom! I actually squealed with deight! I’ve been a huge fan of Toms since he started!
Great finds on your adventure! Your eye for pipes is uncanny! They follow you everywhere!
The mushrooms popping up were fabulous! The mass of tiny white ones around 22:50 made me think for sure a fairy would be captured on film!
I hope you get a chance to collaborate with Tom again sometime!
Thanks Terese x
She is the “Pipe Whisperer”!
What a wonderful journey with great treasures! I think the unusual pipe is a mummy pipe. Probably from one of the pyramids in Egypt no doubt. And how tricky when you picked up the bottle with a pipe beside it. I was screaming, the pipe Nic the pipe!!! Of course you didn't miss it else you'd not be the Pipe Queen. And exciting moment indeed! What beautiful country. Our Mother Earth is truly beautiful everywhere, at least where industry hasn't destroyed it. The music beautiful and very fitting as usual. Quite an adventure. One could spend many days there exploring our past and those things once Loved and cherished. That is the best treasure and it certainly isn't about its value on the market. To hold history in your hand and imagine the people who owned these things and each life and how it was lived. This is the true gift. Thank You Most Kindly Nicola and Tom. I am tuning into Tom's channel right after this message. Love, Light, Peace with Loved things found that make imagination! DaveyJO in Pa.
Thank you DaveyJO xx
Nicola, I watched Tom’s video earlier, you two are my hero’s and favorites. I would love to come mudlarking with you one day. It would be worth every -envy to fly across the pond. I do some mudlarking here, but never find the things that you two do.
I guess you could go to the country and dig out an old dump. In North Idaho there is a free pile where people sort out the treasures.
What an awesome episode! 😊
I loved the elephants & lemonade bottles. 🦋
I love it when great Mudlarker's come together and make videos where I can see each recorded perspective. I've been subscribed to Tom for several months now and I love his mellowness, and of course his talent. Thanks Nicola for doing the calibration with him, a wet but great time. Take care
Oh the Mushrooms!!! Oysters. We love them. We hunt wild mushrooms. Great Video best of both worlds.
Thank you 💞
My two favorite mud larkers....magical
agreed
A very lovely video. Your finds are smashing! Tom is another of my favorites...very calming to hear him and watch his videos. The "maggot" looking pipe reminded me more of a mummy wrap, or a cast for a broken arm....😮 strange little thing. The flowers were gorgeous on the way in and the little mushroom community was enchanting. Thank you for sharing. Just fabulous!!! 💕💚💙💜💕
Thank you Karen x
I love Tom’s videos. You are so lucky that you got to meet him in person. Too bad you couldn’t talk him in to being on camera.
I’m still smiling thinking of you holding the tiny toy motorcycle and you say
brrrrum brrrrum!! That was so cute, I don’t know why it makes me smile but it does!!!
Cheers, Bobska
Hello! I watched the video earler with Tom B. It was great!
Another wonderful day of finds!!! Thank you!
I watched Tom's video,it was so nice of him to leave the pipe for you.I hope you join him again,the area's he goes to are so peaceful.
What a air of excitement you bring to the search Nickola!
Thanks Mark. Yes, constantly excited! x
I absolutely loved your shots of the mosses and toadstools! The ones that were hanging down from a bank like little lamps....gorgeous! I have always loved most. Thank you for a relaxing half hour.
Reclaiming memories one item at a time. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Love the shot of the mushrooms at 22:35. 😘
This is my relaxation video for when I'm lost and just want to see some nice things.
I'm not creepy I'm a open book.
I like that you make knowledge and open up to see the world in my country. Thank you.🇹🇭🙏
Thank you Sarun x
I enjoyed the story of the river turning.
Just finished Toms video and had to watch yours right away!
Nicola YOU are such a treasure and a sweet lady. I love watching you and literally am on the edge of my seat when you have a good find. Slim pickings though here in New Zealand 😪 tally ho and go forth clever lady 🤗
Thank you Dorinda x
Nicola, you produce some damn fine videos, great work, thank you!
Thank you very much!
My very favorite Nicola, I love elephants, have lots of them. I think you could find a pipe in the dark. Lovely way to spend time.😍
Almost halfway in, by far my fave finds of yours ✌💘👍
Hello Nicola. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Wasn't Tom amazing.
Great show you old Mucker You! Thanks for the memories!
Waiting all day for this!! And for the first time in my life, I'm 1st to comment! Hooray!!! You certainly had an excellent lark w/ Tom. And such opposites in your reactions to your finds- but boy! What finds!! Thanks for taking us all along ; )
Or my god you are up in my part of the world ,Well done Nicola you are brilliant xxxxx
That was so neat! Such a huge difference in the style of pipes there
A perfect river elephant! Great finds, how fun to enter Toms world.
It's been a day of elephant finds for all my favorite UK mudlarks! I love the old dump videos the most as the variety of finds is so great! Thanks also for supporting each other in the mudlarking world! The friendships and camaraderie is lovely! Tom is the Banksy Mudlark for sure!
Thanks Theresa x
Goodness Nicola can it get much better? Have just watch both videos... I adore Toms work and make no secret how much I adore his voice... what a fantastic collaboration! The stuff of dreams for all of us, your fans... I Love the elephant, and all the other treasures you found! Thanks as ever for taking us along 🤗
Thank you . xx
The thing Tom found that he thought was the clockwork from a music box is a Variable Capacitor. It was probably part of a radio set.
Radio tuner.
You really seem to have taken your videos to another level. Most people don't realize what kind of editing it takes to make productions like this, but I appreciate all your hard work. Keep it up! Your channel is brilliant.
Tom sounds like a fun-guy 🍄 I bet you didn’t have mush-room left in your bag 💼
What!? My two favourite mudlarkers together? I love it.
Tom's WWI pottery tank was quite a find! Really some great bottles too-the bottle dump is a rich place!
Im so excited watching this, such beautiful pipes.. and the toys..ahhh I'm green
Tom has been making the rounds. Larking with the Northern Mudlarks also.
I love how you get so excited when you find a pipe!!! Thank you for sharing the history.
I'm a new sub and I really enjoy this.Im up in Boston we drag magnets we have found crazy things. Safes, knifes, guns,I'd really like to find the pipes . Your collection rocks.
Hey neighbor.. I'm from Worcester... Nicola is awesome to watch and Tom too, they are unbelievable! Enjoy watching them👍🌞✌️
Another great video thanks I really enjoy watching your video's
thanks Randall x
"Heavens to Murgatroyd is a cry of surprise. The American exclamation Heavens to Murgatroyd was made popular by Snagglepuss, a cartoon pink mountain lion created by Hanna-Barbera in 1959. Snagglepuss’ voice was patterned on the voice of actor Bert Lahr. Heavens to Murgatroyd carries no further meaning than similar expressions such as Heavens to Betsy and Holy Cow."
In any case, it's a small world after all. Cheers.
thank you
I remember my Grandma says "For heavens to murgatroyd" when I was growing up. I say it now to see what the younger generation says because most have never heard it before.
It’s such a magnificent area to mudlark... hope you go back. And so many finds.
I shall return!
I love the mouse and elephant!
The mouse looks like one of those Wade Whimsey figurines. I used to collect those from Red Rose tea.
Loved the change of scenery. Great video. I watched both yours and Toms. I love finding things too. Such fun.🇺🇸❤
The little girl doll is called a "Frozen Charlotte" doll.
The Vintage Fix thanks for the info! I’ve found some interesting articles about them!!
what a change for you nicola, down at the river bank love the the days search
I love Tom, his a lovely soul. I was hoping to see his face, but alas, no! His very mysterious. I understand it though and I'm just starting up my channel and I don't think I'll have my face in the vids either. Not to start with anyway. Looks like you guys had fun and some incredible finds, well worth the train ride, damn.. Those pipes 😲😲😲😲😲😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love both elephants...such wondrous animals. And I think pipe spotting must be the most addictive hobby, as you just never know what some imaginative pipe maker will have created...from grubs to ladies on the toilet...amazing. Thank you and Tom for sharing this terrific collaboration!
My, you are late ! I was almost desperate as I always wait for your video to end my Sunday...
yes Im sorry! I got the timing wrong!
What a wonderful day on a river that moves away from profane people! You truly earned your treasures with the steep, slippery banks with their long wet grass! Loved the different fungi, especially the last growing on the bank, looking just like hundreds of white umbrellas, curved handles included! It amazes me that you continue to unearth such unusual pipes and sweet faced dolls. Great mudlark!
Thanks Linda x
The mushrooms at 22:45 look like fairy bells.
Loved all your finds...especially the little girl with her finger in her mouth! The toilet was priceless!! 🚽
A question to Nicola: How massive is "the storage" of your all findings and could we get overview of it sometimes?
Well yes, I have a lot to store. Yes, I shall do an overview - hopefully this year! x
@@nicolawhitemudlark Thank You for answering. Sounds interestingly good, like a plan if you shall.
I've recently started metal detecting and magnet fishing (hope spring will come soon;)and would like to go live mudlarking if I weren't here surrounded by thousand of lakes on a mainland :)
Keep the good content coming Nicola.
Greetings, you have a subscriber from Finland.
M.S.
I think one of my favourite vlogs Nicola. What fun you had with Tom and I will definitely take a look at his channel. How funny that you had to buy new clothes to go home in! Loved the little mouse most xx
Tom's crested Tank and Machine Gunner are almost certainly made by WH Goss a well known potter from Stoke-on-Trent, who happens to be my many times Great Uncle!
If they were turned over, you would see the Goshawk symbol. In good condition, very collectible and valuable!
Wow. Thanks Derek! X
love your video very lovely and charming voice I could listen to you all day😊
The Northern Mudlarks just dropped a video with Tom. You all need to get together!
Diane Jobe , I do wish Nicola world do that. I know it would make Alex a very happy girl.
Loved your Tales of the river banksi Nicola.Such fun.x
When you find things, you often say "I wonder who used this last." I often imagine a flood of British cursing after something was fumbled into the Thames.
Bloody hell! That's the third morphine bottle I dropped in the damn Thames this week!
@@Surveyed 🤣😂
A lovely adventure on a 'not so lovely' weather day. Such a true smorgasbord of finds along the River Aire ... Tom is a most kind and knowledgeable man and certainly has some great stories and areas to find grand treasures. Thanks for taking us along Nicola....Cheers 🍷🍷👍😎
PS if the Michelin Man did pipes he’d have made that weirdly one
Ha...my thought exactly!! Or a mummy!!
That was a great video Nicola. What a shame it was so wet, though it didn't dampen your enthusiasm, which is very addictive. That dump was incredibly productive, and the elephants stole the show. Great little anecdote about the river trying to escape the foul-mouthed Murgatroyds up in the big house! So glad you enjoyed your time in Yorkshire.
Thank you Padraic x
That teeny tiny mouse won my heart!
Jo Faye Walker - I agree. He’s gorgeous!
Yes, I think that was my favourite find!
Fantastic. Great finds the Yorkshire digger would be proud of those bottle stoppers.
"Who pushed her in. Little Jonny Thin.
Oh my goodness...that was incredible! So many amazing finds! Every thing you found was incredibly amazing! I agree about the maggot looking pipe. That’s exactly what popped in my mind when you found it. Lol Thanks for sharing your adventure! Happy Larking! ~ Gypsy
Thanks Gypsy! Xx
