I'm **soooo** envious of mudlarkers on the Thames! Being in a really young country (New Zealand) we could **never** find the really cool old things that are found along the Thames!
@@stephanieyee9784 - Yep! I was talking to an awesome guy at work - he has a PhD from Oxford - and he went to a high school that was founded just under *400* years ago! A *400 year-old high school!* Wow! That's the kind of ancient history that I love about the UK (and their *geology* has it as well - Cambrian, Silurian and so on....).
It's just astonishing the amount of history that's held on the shores of the Thames. You could discover an item lost just days old or you could find something that dates back to the time of the Roman empire. That's just amazing beyond words to me. Thank you very much for sharing the experience and a congratulations to all on the wonderful finds!
Incredibly amazing! I love love love when you show all of your finds and then tell us all about it! I’m always rooting for you to get something amazing!
I am so impressed by all your finds, especially the ancient Roman coin. Such a fantastic hobby! Decades ago my father found some small shards of un-glazed Indian pottery at an eroded spot on the ground just after a rain storm. Judging by the local history the pottery shards could have been from as recent as 1750, but more probably were from before that time. Those were very rare finds. I can barely comprehend the volume and variety of things you find along your river and the rich heritage those things represent. I remain in awe of your home. Your knotted piece looks like the button version of the metal cuff links I wear with my dress shirts.
oh believe me, I imagine that all the time. I once dreamed that the Thames was completely drained of water, and I went out with my hoover! really. no joke.
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art, That reminds me of the book, "The Five Chinese Brothers" when the one brother drained the ocean of all its water. 😀
Nicola ink well bottles that fantastic intact rose farthing really cool and Roman coin too! Really great finds all of you and friends did good!! So kayaking sounds fun looking forward that for sure another great video!!!
Such great finds by such great people. Thx so much I know I so enjoy every single video and I very seldom leave my own house let alone my own Country. So THANK-YOU for allowing me to go with you. You all Rock.❣❣❣
The Dog Theme continues! What a great bunch of treasure you guys came up with and good background info on mudlarking in general. Speaking for myself, living in the States I sure do find your history an amazing subject and I love seeing all these reclaimed artifacts you guys get to scrounge around for, makes me jealous. Keep it up.
Hmmm....."Mudlarking" is a new concept/past time for THIS cousin from 'across the pond'. I don't have the words to express how thrilled I'd be to find even ONE clay pipe carried by our ancestors. These videos are absolutely fascinating.
Excellent discoveries for all. I do find it fascinating that many histories are unraveled on one of your adventures. Thanks for sharing this special educational adventure. See you again soon.
Nicola, another wonderful "mudlarking" adventure. I looked up the small piece that Simon found with the name H.G. Avery on it.....he is noted for contributing to some advances in corset designs. This was in 1870 in Hackney.
I just found an inkwell on the coast here in maine 1890's carter's 44 ;) I'm a kindred mud covered woman across the seas, love your videos and I must say I'm quite jealous of the opportunity you have at your fingertips!
Hi Nicola, I'm a digger of bottles, and in my experience your pork pie and small glass inks usually date from between 1890s and around 1915👍 nice finds.
Absolutely fascinating video Nicole enjoyed every second of it I am amazed at what you find from Roman to the 21st century it’s mind blowing love the idea of kayaking up the Thames look forward to your next maybe on a kayak. Thanks for sharing
I just wanted to add,how intresting it is that each individual seems to have an eye for spotting kinds of things... EYE SPYE !!! Thank you this was great!!
Congrats to all of you-fantastic finds! The ancient Roman stuff is fascinating. And of course I love the ink pots. The porkpie and sheared top styles were popular on this side of the Atlantic as well. Cheers!
Beautiful weather you are having right now. Matt and Simon appear to be very knowledgeable about Thames artifacts. Fortunate running into London kayak tours. Super nice men. Sounds like the perfect opportunity for another multi part series. Thank you for sharing!
I think all of those finds are fascinating and most particularly the Roman coins. I have a friend who is a retired teacher and he used to take classes to the site of The Battle of Waterloo. On one of his visits, it was raining heavily and he spotted something round sticking out of the ground. It turned out to be a musket ball. Sounds simple but it fired my imagination.
Yes, there is something about actually finding something that motivates you to learn about it. I would not really have been so interested in Lord Rodney if Matt had not found that cufflink. It is history you can touch.
Im in NYC in the states and I find your channel very interesting! I am a metal detectorist and I had to subscibe, please keep up the good work and ill continue visiting!! :)
What a lot of nice treasures to find. Looks like you all had a wonderful day mudlarking. As usual Nicola a great video. Please be safe kayaking on the Thames. 😊
I know I will lovely...ur box hit the mail today...I tried last week but I have been so ill..doc says 6-12 months but I say NOOOO I say 20 more yrs....but I love the fact ur my friend and I'm very happy w my life....email me when u get ur box...snail mail what about two weeks??? hugs and cheers my friend for life.....cammie
Thank YOU! It was great fun and very informative. I've now learned about Constantius II and Lord Rodney which quite frankly I would not have done if it was not for this outing :)
Well that was fun. Thanks for sharing! I love how you bring in the history on some of your finds. That’s half the fun. I use to do this sort of thing in S Ontario, Canada when I was a teen. Did a lot of bottle hunting in old dumps, as well. Brings back a lot of fond memories!
Well done you found good stuff indeed. That cartridge was a blank Crimped on the end as it was. Couldn't see if it was American 30/06 or British 303. 303 's are a rimmed cartridge and 30/05 has an extractor groove.
.303 grenade launching blank, or training blank... :) Nice video! They must've exported a lot of those stoneware ink bottles, I have one just like the first he found but reddish-brown in color.
So fun to see what each of you rescued from the Thames ! Such beautiful, interesting things! Oh, and I wonder just WHO was the last person to use or touch those things!!! So fun to just “think” of that! Another great video !! Thanks for taking us along !!
Great finds guys! I'll have to remember the kayak company but those are tandems. Hope they have single cockpits to rent too! Kayaking is a must do wherever I go 🛶
Hello Nicola, I love kayaking! It is so relaxing and I love seeing all the wildlife along the shoreline. I hope you do give it a go and allow us to come along.
Gosh I knew I had left my glass ink pot somewhere 😂 I think the metal knots at the begining are a button too. It looks like a metal version of a silk knotted button. My mum has a cardigan with knot buttons that look awefully like but larger Thank you so much everyone. Lovely finds, lovely video 😊
Hi Nicola, I love your videos. I so wish I still lived in London and could get the chance of getting a license for mudlarking. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but you so missed the chance of the ‘my dogs got no nose’ joke in this video.
The little hg Avery clasp looks like what we used to use to hold up stockings. Some times used to hold the ends of kotex pads. Never saw them in medal. The coiled metal wire IS a button.
The dog looks like one of those extinct/discontinued dogs the name starts with a T that I saw on a video by Joolz Guides of London. He also had a show on mud larking 😊
Your videos just appeared in my feed....which is weird, as I've never heard of mudlarking!! Except for the name of the bird, which I assume the name for this comes from? After watching for a little while, I found myself strangely fascinated by it all! You are finding so much stuff!! and objects from so long ago.....17th century for God's sake! Right on the rivers' edge....amazing. And also Roman objects! And I find your voice strangely soothing to listen too....which makes these videos also very relaxing to watch. I think I'm hooked! Hi from Melbourne, Australia.
Love your videos.. Simon say Ferrous That is Iron ..Non ferrous eg that is copper aluminium etc..It doesn't matter ,but just imagine what is under the mud in the River Nile It blows my mind .If it was dredged all those coins and gold and History ..Amazing..
Thanks for this Nicola. The crimped .303 round reminded me of a round I found. Turned out to be a .303 that had been converted to a shot gun shell. Apparently it is the smallest shotgun round produced, but that's not to say that's what yours is. I handed mine in as it was live.
At first, I thought you found my badge, "committed." :) and, fro's are back :) and, of all people to bump into :)
I'm **soooo** envious of mudlarkers on the Thames!
Being in a really young country (New Zealand) we could **never** find the really cool old things that are found along the Thames!
Same here, even here in Sydney there's not much to find of historical value.

Oh my goodness, I'm completely smitten! I'd love to spend days doing this- thank you for showing this.

Welcome to UK
Lovely how you make everyone else, the finds, shore, and river, the stars of your videos.
I think I am up to 5 times so far the amount of times I have said aloud, "TROWEL! There's a trowel... oh, right..." while watching your videos.
4:00 I think that is called a love knot.
Incredibly amazing! I love love love when you show all of your finds and then tell us all about it! I’m always rooting for you to get something amazing!

I can always safely hit the thumbs up as soon as i have pressed play. every time
Thank you!
Sitting here glued to the screen the whole time. Thank you.
Ah, thank you. another one arriving this pm if all goes well!
Can you imagine the history that is held in the middle of the river.
oh believe me, I imagine that all the time. I once dreamed that the Thames was completely drained of water, and I went out with my hoover! really. no joke.
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art,
That reminds me of the book, "The Five Chinese Brothers" when the one brother drained the ocean of all its water. 😀
@@nicolawhitemudlark someone call in the scooba gear, we're going mudlarking: underwater edition!
Not necessarily because the Thames voluminous daily flow will grind stuff down.
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art That’s a wish of mine! What a wonderful dream!
You and Simon always find beautiful relics, I love your videos. Thank you
Recovering from surgery and very entertained by your adventures. Thanks for the welcome distraction. Tonina in South Dakota.
Nicola - your videos are utterly fascinating. Hundreds & hundreds of years of history is in that river.
Thank you Nicola! your interview technique is first class.You seem to make people at ease as soon as you meet them! well done great vid again.
thank you very much Nigel!
Nicola ink well bottles that fantastic intact rose farthing really cool and Roman coin too! Really great finds all of you and friends did good!! So kayaking sounds fun looking forward that for sure another great video!!!
Thanks Richard. Yes ,that was a plentiful day!

The kayak guys were really cute! I loved all the inkwells. It was fun to see what different people found and what their eyes are trained to lock onto.

Mudlarking videos are great for ding Euro treasures even better

I love your films Nicola, its so restful listening to the river lapping in the background and the swans and boats. Thanks
Amazing what has been found on the shores of the Thames, mind boggling.

Thanks Steve. Yes, I feel a kayak trip coming on for sure!
I really love that I found you!! I really like the pottery with pictures in them..It gives me crafting ideas.. !! Inspiration !!!!

Great job Nicola! Thanks for bringing us along!

Another great video of Thames mudlarking Nicola a good haul as well, so interesting the history behind the objects you find.
Another very informative video Nicola with interesting finds. Thank you!

How could these two guys not agree to not have the likes of you along Nicola?😄😊😇
So fun to see what each of you rescued from the Thames ! Such beautiful, interesting things! Oh, and I wonder just WHO was the last person to use or touch those things!!! So fun to just “think” of that! Another great video !! Thanks for taking us along !!
Great video and superb finds,thanks Nicola
And, since Nicola is too nice to mention it- if you let the ads run to the end she'll get ad revenue from RUclips.
A small price to pay, I'd say.
Nah I have ad block.
Well worth it. This show is excellent.
Just another great video and nice finds. We want more !
Thanks Roland
Lol she didn't catch the joke about Charles being called Carol at weekends. Interesting videos - from a Brit now living in Ottawa, Canada.
I was under the impression that the older the pipe the smaller the bowl? Damn that looks like fun and fires the imagination!
excellent as always Nicola
I look forward to your videos. They are fabulous.
Ian Blay thank you so much! 😊 That's made my evening x
Awesome! How lucky you are to have the Thames and it's history.
Love this woman it so interesting to watch.
Hola Nicola , un vídeo estupendo y con mucha información ,me encanta ,gracias. Hasta el próximo.
Thanks Claudia!
I really enjoy and appreciate your videos thank you.
find of the day for me was the glass ink bottle.. Well done Nicola !
Lovely,time to put the kettle on and chill👍
Hope you enjoyed your tea and video time.
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art It was lovely thanks for a fantastic video again👍
Great finds guys! I'll have to remember the kayak company but those are tandems. Hope they have single cockpits to rent too! Kayaking is a must do wherever I go 🛶

Great video! Cool finds! Happy Hunting!
ANOTHER GOOD HUNT NICOLA. LOTS OF GREAT FINDS.
.303 blank round as indicated by the crimped end.
Unfired! Could still fire. Be careful.
S
could be for grenade launching.
exactly
You guys are so cool I use to dig out privies to find ink wells and old bottles when I was younger keep finding the good stuff
You Brits are so lucky! We have nothing this cool in the US!

Hi Karlene, thank you, and glad you're enjoying the videos 😊. I'm just on my way to the river now x
Fascinating that roman coin.
I know. I just can't believe how long it has been in the River!
I bet the Roman who dropped it by mistake never would have thought how long it would be there too...
i love the contrast with the drone between the old stuff we may not regonize but we came a long way
Love your videos.. Simon say Ferrous That is Iron ..Non ferrous eg that is copper aluminium etc..It doesn't matter ,but just imagine what is under the mud in the River Nile It blows my mind .If it was dredged all those coins and gold and History ..Amazing..
Looks like everyone found some great stuff!

great hunt and video nicola,, looks like its warmed up some since your last video
Yes, it's absolutely scorching at the moment!
Thanks Nicola, most engaging vids please send us more,!
Thanks Chris! I fully intend to. 😊
Simon is gorgeous! I love him 😍
gripplehound me too it would be nice to stay in a travel lodge with him
@@jimmytwo3998 creepy
Bexta shut it filth
You're so lucky to have such history to discover. The most I could find along the river here in Canada is a plastic bottle.
Amazing finds with fascinating history attached. Thanks so much for sharing! Happy mud larking! ~ Gypsy
Great video nicola.some nice finds😀
