A Fantastic Find just as the Tide came in. I had to rush to save it before it disappeared Forever!

The River Thames gives the best ever birthday presents! Join me as I unwrap Thames treasures covered in mud! My favourite kind of gift. It was only when I was leaving the foreshore and the tide was sweeping in that I found my favourite present of the day! I could hardly believe it when I got it home to have a closer look.
Thank you for watching this birthday outing on the Thames. If you have any stories associated with the finds, or any IDs then do get in touch.
If you are tempted to try mudlarking you do need a permit from the Port of London Authority www.pla.co.uk/Environment/Tha...
You can follow me on twitter, instagram and facebook @tidelineart
See you soon.
Love Nicola xx

Well said, Nancy!

I agree wholeheartedly, the adventure and excitement of the finding captures the mind, heart and soul. Take heart because these finds are real welcomed distraction, but the uncertainty of our current times will pass. May you find peace where you focus your thoughts and attention.

Nicola, your videos are terrific. I love learning about the history of the objects you find My father was an avid historian. We traveled along the east coast of the US to learn about the Revolutionary War and the Civil War when I was a kid. If you ever return to the NY/NJ area, it would be my honor to invite you for lunch or dinner. Continued success in your mudlarking adventures.

One hundred thousand Happy returns Nicola. One year younger again, not that age matter's when we all get to those middle years of our lives. Life is for living, we only get the one, so live it. Your finds wre interesting on this show. I have an estuary neaar me which certainly has medieval history through to today. There may be even earlier things to find as the Romans used the river, but even more exciting! there may be artifacts dating to 500 years before Stone Henge as our neolithic ancesters travelled up and down the coast. Happy Birthday Nicola. ( PS. I am feeling all inspired now, thanks to you and your friends. Wellies/chest waders are out now in preparation for the sping high and low tides next year.)

[@TheNordicharps]

Hi Nic, happy birthday to you ❤ For once I do actually know something about something, namely the fork. I inherited a set of fish-serving cutlery (utensils?) which consisted of a large fish knife for dividing the whole fish from the spine, a fork like yours and a spoon, all with curvy edges and decorated. They were obviously prized as they were kept in a beautiful case lined with blue velvet. I am guessing that they were Edwardian or late Victorian. Have a lovely rest of your birthday, and thank you for spending some of it with us xx

I too inherited a similar set from great grandmother so I also knew what someone was used for!

Happy Birthday !! Since the Mississippi River, in the US, has dropped to record levels from the drought, "mudlarking" along the Mississippi waterfront is starting a new craze !!

Again - I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
