A 17th Century Bearded Wild Man in the Mud - Mudlarking the River Thames with Nicola White
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Join me for a lark on the Thames foreshore and discover a variety of finds from 17th century modern day. 17th Century stoneware to 21st century plastic.
At the moment there is no mudlarking permitted on the Thames foreshore. The footage in this video was taken prior to the lockdown. I've been enjoying reliving it as I edit this video.
The Thames is like a giant liquid storybook and it holds within so many stories, both ancient and modern. On this video we find a beautiful chunk of 17th century pottery, some 19th century clay pipes and some mysterious items that I would like know more about. We also leave the swans behind for some parakeets living in a tree in my garden!
If you are interested in trying out mudlarking then you need a permit from the Port of London Authority. You can find all the details here:-

Thank you for watching.
You can follow me on twitter and instagram @tidelineart for more finds and updates.
Take care. Stay Safe.

Hi All! Please be reassured that the I Am Brett comment is an old joke. I've known what it is for a long while now but I'm glad it has put a smile on faces. Thanks for your super comments and feedback on the video. I have had a lot of comments helping me with "I am Brett". If you would like to see when I first found the infamous "I am Brett" - then here is the link to the video. However, it comes with a terrible finger nail warning. You have been warned. Love Nicola x

I LOVE it that the parakeets are there! I had no idea they could exist in the wild in the UK 😊 I wonder if someone had a couple of them and just let them go. How fab that they're doing well 😊
I know the cousin I am Brett Ms V Espa
@@howbizarre1081 Hahaha. Good one! :-D
Thank you Nicola love going on these adventures with you! I'm in New Zealand, it was so lovely to see the coin, a sixpence, and it has our native bird the Tui or also named Parson bird due to the ruff of white feathers under its chin, a beautiful bird with delightful song., do look it up. Sixpences were in circulation until 1967 when we changed to decimal currency. ❤️
I can understand the confusion. I once found a a name plate that said " I am Borghini", but I couldn't find any Borghinis in the phone book, so I couldn't return it.
I could listen to Nicola narrate the construction of a shelf and be happy.
A winters day ,a warm fire, feet up,a glass of port and listening to Nicola reciting the telephone directory....Nirvana
chris quinlan Lol, sounds great to me!
I agree
Have you not seen her other channel? 'Making robust furniture from pallet wood' ?
william avery 😂 😂 😂
The tiny little frog reminds me of chocolate frogs one could by when I was a kid. They were filled with sweet mint cream and were delicious.Love your videos
The Frog looks like a Carnival Medal.
I adore ringnecks, they are lovely! They love peanuts and sunflower seeds! I have and have raised several parrots, but none were ringnecks..and hehehehe look at those sweeties nesting!! They very likely have babies in there or eggs, and the male is feeding the female so she can continue to sit on the eggs, or babies
Enjoyed the parakeets - I was so surprised to see them when I was in London last August on a trip with my daughter. Thanks for posting your videos - I constantly enjoy the content from Georgia U.S.A.
They all look quite grumpy. . . My favorite dwarf-thank you Disney.
Am I allowed to suggest further RUclips stuff to viewers? One way I've been coping with lockdown is by watching old 80s series like, The Witches And The Grinnygog and The Snow Spider, Tripods...all available on RUclips. Along with Mudlarking videos!
Do you think that the bellimine face was was made in a mold with the jug , or pressed on to wet clay?
Maybe the jug was made on a wheel. I think that the face was made by coils. The coils perhaps were laid on the jug then squished down with a stick. If that makes sense.
That order sounds like the thing peter flintstone was a member of.
Your nature photography is just about as fascinating as your mudlarking photography Nicola and i enjoy them a lot especially with well chosen musical background. Thanks so much for both; from an admirer in Montreal Canada
Thank you Claire x
We're all locked down in Canada too. I've never watched so many you tube videos in my life..lol I'm glad to have found yours, they are so interesting.
Thanks Gillian. Glad you're enjoying them. x
Yes, they are a joy. And so many people commenting about what things are and the stories they tell.
Nature, the true beauty of the world. Not riches and fame, just what nature gives us.
absolutely Anne
The parakeets are romancing and your lovely hollow tree has become a perfect home to raise a family, enjoy, they are very entertaining,
The coin could be a coin that was cut in half so each loved one has their own half until they are reunited. Ok hopeless romantic! Lol
Carol Milburn I was thinking the same thing. Hope someone’s heart didn’t get broken then they threw it in the river.
I wondered if it was left with a child, so they could be identified when they were older?
Love the sound that clay pipes make when they bang together have you ever thought about making them into a wind chime not the valuable ones of course or maybe there too fragile love your videos 😍
Looks like the New Zealand coin may have been shared by two kiwis at one time.
Nicky L...yes, I was thinking that afterward. My great auntie, Joan had been engaged to a New Zealand serviceman and she died right at the end of the war. She was stationed down south (UK) and was a driver for the officers. She was only 21.
Beautiful birds 🥰 here in Australia we call them Indian Ringnecks they come in a lot of different colours :) they’re not in the wild here that I’ve seen but lots of people breed them for pets :) green is the original wild colour-my daughter has a blue one called Banjo he talks so well!! Bloody noisy tho 🤦♀️
Thanks Nicola. Lol. I remember when you found, I am Brett. Lambretta. So funny. Oh my goodness, parrots being subtropical and tropical, I would have never imagined them living wild in London! A sweet breeding pair taking care of each other and looking quite well. Amazing .💙
I suspect that the 6 pence from New Zealand was cut in half by two people who loved each other
and had to be separated by a journey, each keeping one half. xx
This Is What We Need To Combat Corona Virus Blues. !!!!!! Keep Them Coming Angel. Hugs x
Thanks Roger x
Regarding Freddo: now we know where J.K. Rowlings got her inspiration for one of Hogwart's favorite confection.
It looks like the male is regurgitating food for the female to bring back to the next. It may be that the eggs hatched and she is bringing back food for the hatched birds. Isn't is lovely to see the loyalty of birds who mate for life and how they take care of their young. Keep well yourself, Nicola. Jane, Philadelphia
yes i don't think they have hatched yet, but I am keeping a watchful eye to see when they do
Good day Nicola. I really enjoyed the opening scenes. If anyone has an interest, there is an old episode of Time Team where they recreate an ancient copper knot ring. I'm glad that you have a backlog of videos, we may be in lockdown for awhile. Stay safe!
@@tabbycat2691 ditto👍!! I've been watching reruns during self isolation.
@@juliet5114 same here.
I saw that Time Team also. They were copying an actual ring found in a dog. Nicola take it to a museum. You may have found the real thing. A Roman ring.
A dig not a dog.
@@tabbycat2691 Hey! That's great! Thanks!
Lambretta is a scooter. I'm sure someone's told you by now!
She knows! It was a joke! When she initially found it, she thought it said "I am Brett" but then soon laughed and realised it was "Lambretta".
Wow -- I would have thought that the London winters were a little too harsh for parakeets -- but they do add a bit of color to the foliage and birdsong.
Those parakeets are gorgeous! Perhaps since she’s sitting on the eggs, she can’t forage for food, so Dad feeds her. Watch for the babies! Loved the video and I see you are possibly working on more fish. Yay!
Nicola's parakeet footage brings to mind the work of Sir David Attenborough. I do believe that the bird on the right was indeed sharing his regurgitation, a common behaviour between bonded birds. Charming, right?
Now we need to see the baby birds when they start to fly out of the hole in the tree and please show your garden in next video
Oh I know Kenny. I am going to have to camp out next to the tree!
It's fascinating that some species of tropical parrots can not only survive, but thrive in our northern cities.
There is a beautiful film " The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill", about San Francisco's feral parrots, and a homeless musician who loved and protected them.
The cut coin might have been a good luck piece for lovers as each person got a half coin to carry. Maybe someone thought it wasn't so lucky and the romance was ended,lol
It dates from 1937-1946, WWII era. Perhaps a British girl and a NZ soldier...
Often used as a MIZPAH June x
@@JuneAngelPews Yes, I couldn't remember the name of those 2-part pendants. Thanks
Barbara Collins...the name of the two part pendant? Ownership?? Oh, Ive become cynical since I hit my mid forties!😊
I remember a Tommy Steele musical called, "Half a sixpence"
Happy Easter Nicola, to you and your family, be safe and I enjoy all the videos and the parakeets. Neil from Prince Edward Island Canada.
Nicola,it look's like you have a little bit of everything in your workshop,you bring a ray of sunshine in these dark time's,I thank you kind Lady,stay safe.
"Well its true I was initially drawn to the pipe, but then I noticed a monkey...." A wonderful opening line for a story!
D'Ann Sherstone 🤣🤣
FUDDLEYP JONES LOL!!!!!
Monkey looks like it is from kids game barrel of monkies circa 1960's
The New Zealand coin is a sixpence stay safe from New Zealand 😀😀👍👍👍❤❤
With a Tui as the bird
@@bfk1970 Not a tui, a huia.
What a darling little frog . I wouldn't mind having him hanging on my shirt today . thanks for the amazing history on the Bellarmine jug . It's repurpose factors were superb for it's time . Your studio is absolutely fabulous !
I could spend happy hours looking round your studio, it’s magical. Love the swan comments at the end.
Thanks Kerry! Yes, they would not be amused if they could see me hanging out with the parakeets
Thank you for sharing Nicola, I think the frog brooch is art deco from machining on the top bar, and the style of it. 1930s, 40s maybe. I love collection of bearded man jugs. The parakeets are so pretty, how beautiful. Great video !
Nic, I think you should sell a t-shirt to promote your channel that says;
"I am Brett" and underneath that a
Lambretta photo and then below that
Tideline Art / Nicola White
yes, I am thinking of doing something - like a postcard, with I am Brett on it! :)
@@nicolawhitemudlark
Oh, a postcard! That sounds great!
I'd totally frame it and hang it on my craft wall if I could snag one! LOL!
I'd definitely wear that t-shirt.
I'd love to see one of her beautiful fish art pieces printed on a t-shirt. Those fish would look pretty smart on a shirt!
Winter Beach yes I think that would look awesome, a blue sea glass fish.
just to say thank you for your respnse sorry for the bad grammar shame on me a level english whent out of the window xxx
as a metal detectorist from the north east of england, I turn odd interesting piece now and again, its great to find bits from the past , wondering who dropped them and why they were there, every piece with their own story, love your video clips, great to see,
Now all you need is a Bagpuss toy who makes all your finds come to life..... :)
I think Of motorcycles, therefore I am Bretta!🤓
thanx for all the enjoyment and calmness you bring to this rather mad situation we are all in thanx again xxx stay safe and well
Thank you, Nicola for continuing to post and continuing to present intriguing finds.
Lambretta: an Italian built motor scooter made famous by the film "Quadraphenia'.
A cheap means of transport shipped all over the world!
An original 1960s one is worth quite a bit now. 😊
@@tonycox5625 yes, you are quite correct. Spot on.
Tony Sargent you all really have to watch the other video!
The Lambretta 'incident' is going to run and run! :-P
yep. It will. I might make I am Brett postcards
@@nicolawhitemudlark It looks like Brett, but it's from a Labretta scooter. www.classic-trader.com/uk/motorcycle/listing/innocenti/lambretta-150-ld/1957/149556
@@vanaals exactly what I was thinking.
@@vanaals She knows this! That was the joke.
@@SluttChops My apologies. I wasn't in on the joke.
Yes they have found some Bellarmine Jars over on this side of the Atlantic also, at an archeological dig site at one of the first settlements in the New World. Lord Baltimore was sent to settle Ferryland on Newfoundland's Avalon peninsula around 1620. I find the artifacts fascinating. It is amazing how far they have come in the dig. There is another fairly sizable dig site in the province where they sent a man surname Guy, name either John or William to settle "Cupper's Cove", now called Cupid, in 1608. They have a wonderful interpretation centre at that one as well.
It's too bad about the toy soldier; perhaps instead of discarding him you could decorate a small box and have your very own 'Tomb of the unknown Soldier' I know you find a few of them every now and then.
All that aside, thank you for making these videos. They're great entertainment in these days of 'isolation'......
Love your videos! When lockdown is over, I can imagine all you mud lovers running to the Thames hahha! Keep safe!
When you was talking about that lead soldier being too far gone , you sounded like my doctor when he exams me. I'm shocked at your daily death toll in UK please be careful. We feel for you. We are in lock down sorta. Beaches and pubs are closed borders also. I believe you can now see BLUE sky. Would you have picked up that frog if it was a real one?
Sounds like my doctor, he said you've lived most of your life.🤔
With a name like Hard Yakima, I just knew you were a fellow Aussie, even before I read the bit about the beaches and pubs!! 🤣
* Yakima, not Yakima 😞
YAKKA
I'm so jealous of you! Here in the U.S. all I find that's older than 1800 is petrified buffalo chips!
Haha that's hilarious x
A: "It's a knot ring."
B: "It's not a ring?"
A: "No, a knot ring."
B: "Your grammar."
not at all!
Eyes wide open, like a kid. Ooooh, what a little fairy land you have created out of found things. The way your collection started, would be an interesting story. Delightful visit to your treasure boxes. Thank you 🌞
Not bothered by the gulls because frankly, they gotta eat their dinner too!
quite right Colleen! x
I am here in Florida in isolation, binge watching your videos since I’m behind and cleaning up some of my beach treasures, shells and fossils while I do. I also like the nature you film. Of course here in Florida we now have all kinds of wild colonies of parrots & parakeets. I’m surprised you have them there as well. It has been interesting, all my photography friends are discovering the interesting things we have in our back yards to point our cameras at. :)
The seagulls at the end are doing their job in the circle of life.
The New Zealand coin looks like it’s been cut in half for a couple. Maybe later she threw hers into the mud dramatically 🤔
The knot ring you found made me think of a Roman era ring that was featured on Time Team once. They had a silversmith recreate it to show how it would have been made.
Please make a video of you making a sea glass fish.
What kind of glue do you use and do you coat the glass pieces with anything?
Imagine my disappointment at seeing the title and after watching the video that I noticed that I was not in the video at all. LOL.
ah sorry! what a tease that was x
When I watch your videos I am so homesick for England! My Ancestry is here! I have been to England 4 times and never want to go back to the USA when I am there! Someday, I will live there! Beautiful bit of the parakeets!
Thank you ,
Cindy
Nicola, I drove a Lambretta Motor scooter while in Italy back in the mid 1950's .
you must have been ultra cool! x
@@nicolawhitemudlark Not really Nicola, US Marines were not allowed to rent vehicles while on liberty and maybe I got caught!!!!!!!!!!!
I only watched this hoping to see Nicola in those tight shorts as advertised in the preview image. Denied. Lol.
Hi, the cut coin could be a magicians coin, used to give the impression of a coin being bitten in two.
The monkey might be from the game "barrel of monkeys".
Love all your finds, however I always love your pipes, especially when you extract them and they are whole.Thank you for this lovely video. The parakeets are just the finishing touch of your video. Happy Easter patricia
Thanks Patricia! x
What a fantastic room!
my favourite room ever
The Man with the Hat would be able to resize your ring, or of course, most jewellers.
Ouch!!
So why are you out during lockdown,,,,,,,,,just kidding! Consider it an April fools! Another great video with wildlife, great music and parakeets as well! What could be better, other than getting out again. Some Lovely pipes as usual! I wonder what the Thames will reveal when you return? Thank You Kindly Nicola! My weekend is complete with a Tideline art vid! I wish you a Great Garden, Love, Light, Peace, Health and all the Best to You and your Family! DaveyJO in Pa.
Ha ha thank you! You had me there for a minute! X
There is not "i am bretta" there is Lambretta that is a motorcycle italian.
You know,I enjoy looking back on your videos,to have a new perspective on things,now that I have experienced this.
It marvels me,because I know exactly where you are in this video,I was there,and I just hang on to the memory,the moment,a moment of happiness that cannot be described!
I'm so glad you had a wonderful time Charles. You'll have to come back of course xx
Those look like the Quaker parrots or parakeets flocks we have here in Austin Texas. Yes, they are also an invasive species here too, but less than in London. I say less because there had been parrots/parakeets native in the area before humans ruined the area for the natives.
Absolutely wonderful Nicola, stay safe, much love.🇨🇦😘🐘
thank you Marion. you too
Nicola you just make everyone's day. We need your terrific videos more than ever. Thank you x
I'm going through a backlog of footage too. Thanks.
Nicola, thank you for your very educational videos. I am in San Francisco, and thanks to you, I am learning about my British ancestry. Please tell me how on earth you can spot such tiny and obscured items?
It's practice! I love San Francisco and usually go once a year
As always love your videos. I can hardly wait for this virus to be vanquished and new mudlarking videos to come out. Stay safe over there. Staying safe as possible here in the States (Florida). 😘
Thank you. You too ❤️
Love your show and good to see you kept the NZ coin I'm down here in NZ my family came from Ireland to Cornwall then here to NZ and I hope to make a visit to England before my time is up..
That's great Kevin,! I grew up in Cornwall. I love it there. I hear NZ is beautiful.i would love to visit it one day.
You are going to have a better museum collection than Australia's National Museum in Canberra where I live.
That was a good one Nicola I am back to work its nice to see and hear about these people who had made things to inspire yet your hunting their inspiration's to inspire our curiosity with your inspirational mind Thank's!!!; )
hello Nicola and studio friends. i like all these massed collections you have all in the white box studio. the parakeets are lovely bright green, you can just make them out in the foliage. here is a vid, a mini-hijack, of an osprey & young - something to look at - and their nest buddies
ruclips.net/video/9KwZTJuGTZM/видео.html
thanks for making another of your great video tours . look forward soon to more outdoors
Thank you!
Very cool video! Quite a nice pair of amorous parakeets! I love seeing you make those pulls on the pipes you find. Very interesting.
I so enjoy watching you and your friends mudlarking, makes me want to go out and dig around my property, which I will as soon as the weather gets warmer here. Stay safe all of you and hopefully you will be able to get and mudlark again.
Looks like my friday is going to be a mudllarking day...to binge watch these videos !
Enjoy Betty!

Been binge watching for a few days such amazing finds I would have done great in school if the teachers were interesting and interested in what they where teaching lol cheers to you ...
Scotti from canada
Thank you x
Lol!! Oh Nicola, it would take much more than the gulls getting their dinner to put me off mine! But thanks for caring!
glad to hear it Pete! x
I just want to find one clay pipe when I come to the U.K.
i just have to say i love every video sofar 9 left till the first one, love the way you show nature the things you find a heck i keep it short i am just hooked thank you and your fellow mudlarkers
Thank you Michel! I'm so glad you're enjoying them. Some of the very early ones might not be as good!! I learned (and am still learning) as I go along. Thank you for the lovely comment ❤️
Love your videos...really look forward to them...a lovely escape from reality at the mo x stay safe ♥️
Thanks Ellen!
The monkey with the skull and crossbones reminds me,in the current situation,of the little outbreak monkey from the movie! Course I have a morbid Sense of humor!
No need to apologise for the gulls! They're just doing their job.
Here in Missouri we're in the second week of statewide "Stay At Home" order. Pretty damn useless,but at least they're trying. Don't know if lockdown will work here in the states. Looking for the authorities to start cracking down on the stay at home stuff. Left purposefully vague on what are "necessary" trips to town etc. Only things mentioned by name were doctor, pharmacy,and groceries. Left them a lot leeway for when they want to get Draconian!
Stay safe,and healthy! Love your videos,you have a refreshing,soothing manner,and the occasional naughty(innocent?) Sense of humor. Loved it when you and the Ladies Who Lark got the girly giggles talking about that knob!!
Ahhh a NZ sixpence, I feel all nostalgic for home country now..... And it's split in half just like NZ is today.
The Bird depicted was a huia, now extinct. Some of my ancestors had a huia Feather which would have been kept in a special carved box. They would wear them in their hair on auspicious occasions .The back of the kings head looks like George VI so it could be from 1937 to 1952.Here is a link to my 3 times great grandfather, Tawhiao showing him with his Huia feather. teara.govt.nz/en/artwork/7966/king-tawhiao
Thank you very much indeed. I will so enjoy looking at this.
There is a 75 year old Amphibious Order of Frogs. This could be theirs.
Thank you!
It’s the Royal Antediluvian Order of the Frogs!
Love it!
Can't wait to see the parakeet hatchlings! Great video, Nic! I think my favorite thing are the Bellarmine jugs, so it was fun to see your new find along with your collection. I also noticed the badge was Lambretta, although I don't know why I'd know that lol. Happy Easter!
Hi Nicola, I reckon that sixpence was found by two Scotsmen at the same time
David Connelly 😂
Thank you again Nicola such a wonder video - Blessed Easter to you too and be safe
Thank you!
We have our own version of the Wildman across the big pond , he's called Sasquatch and many claim to see them still . Stay Safe .
Thank you sharing your video with us. Keep up the good mud locking. Your friend Shirley from new Bern, north Carolina USA ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😊
That NZ sixpence was in circulation from 1937-46. That is George VI and the tail of an extinct Huia bird on the reverse. So it fits perfectly as a WW2 keepsake.
28:33 Eggs are safe, time for a date night to keep the relationship fresh. lol
