A forgotten Brass Tag takes me back to a Significant Historical Event. Mudlarking the Thames

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you for watching this video. Please do comment below if you have any information at all about any of the finds in it! Im always delighted to hear your thoughts, opinions and ideas. If you would like to know what the song is at the end of the video it is "A Burden & A Blessing by Eden Maze". If you would like to adopt a Thames orphan then you can find them on my kofi site ko-fi.com/nicolawhitetidelineart/shop Have an excellent day/morning/afternoon/evening. Nicola

[@philhawley1219]

The bullet (cartridge) is .577 by.450 Martini brass foil case . Rather rare ,I have only ever seen them in the Middle East.

Will the bunny be up for adoption? I would love to bring him to Canada.

[@ezcapee]

when I thought Nicola is adorable I saw Kevin, such a genuine guy. When he said he is quite nervous speaking on camera I really felt the need to support him and give him confidence, and when he gifted you the toy he literally won my heart haha

He's a great guy! ❤️

Hello from Australia Nicola I just want to tell how much I enjoy watching your channel. when I see your finds I can get quite excited especially if its a pipe I hold my breath willing it to have a lovely long stem. I also love it when you find parts of a bottle and it turns out to be something great like an onion bottle. I watched the video you did on the Firth of Forth and was thrilled with one of your finds as it was made in my home town Bo'ness that one I guessed before you. i would love to go mud-larking with you but I will never see Britain again as I am 83 years old.keep posting Nicola you give me so much pleasure.

Nice treasures Nicola !!! Love the pipe with the rose 🌹 & leaves 🌿 on it & the pipe stem with a little hand holding a rifle !!! Love the idea of adopting the toys 🧸 out to a new home !!! Your little squirrel friend is so cute & he was going to come in to get more peanuts 🥜🥜🥜 !!! ❤️🙂

[@samir-hasanagic8981]

Few excellent and interesting finds there, Nicola. The bullet appears to be either earlier Snider Enfield rifle bullet or later Martini Henry model that replaced it from early 1870s. Both types of rifles (577”) were used by the British colonial militia. Possibly Boer War era. Very rare find.

[@michellesoto1787]

Okay I’ll be home i

[@justdustino1371]

It was a bottle necked case design so it was likely the .577-.450 for the Martini. The Martini was .450 caliber but they'd necked down the .577 Snider case for a .45 caliber bullet for the Martini so they called it the ".577-.450"......lots of archaic cartridge designations in the early days of self primed, metallic cartridges.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks Samir

[@samir-hasanagic8981]

@@nicolawhitemudlark No worries. Awesome finds.

[@Crustymarine]

Well done. I figured it was 1874ish Martini Henry cartridge.

[@davidprovan2250]

Hi Nicola, the wooden tool is a 'London Pattern' screwdriver. As a tool they have never been bettered, I have several! Take care.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

brilliant. thanks David

[@tracyriordan7011]

Nice, David! ( :

[@tracyriordan7011]

@@nicolawhitemudlark yay, you got the tool back together again too! So cool! I still think it looks amazing! ( :

[@martinjcamp]

These Screwdrivers were most recently made by Joseph Marples into the 1970's or so; now discontinued. The design was especially used by Cabinetmakers and other Woodworkers, the narrow-width blades would allow the tool to reach deeply into counter-bored holes.

[@deathtrance217]

The squirrel is a nice addition to you videos. I love how you take the time to help out all the different wildlife. Those peanuts and breadcrumbs create long lasting friendships. Especially with the crows on the foreshore. You never know, maybe they'll return the favor with treasure one day. Love your channel.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you!

[@christinahall2587]

Kevin going through all his pockets... 21:24- 21:47..... reminded me of Lieutenant Columbo looking for a vital piece of evidence ! Cute toy 24:26 ! How sweet of him to rescue it for you ❣️.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

ha ha yes, I had to speed up the footage as it really was a very long search!

[@ryanshorts339]

Great finds as always. My best guess for the rifle cartridge is a .577 caliber (predecessor to the British .303) used by the Martini Henry rifle (Given its size, shape of the casing and shape of the round). This would put its age around 1870-1890, and had it not made its way into the Thames it probably would have gone to Africa to be used in the Boer or Zulu Wars

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you Ryan!

[@SeadartVSG]

@@nicolawhitemudlark You probably know, but if you want to identify a firearm cartridge the characters for caliber and sometimes manufacturer are pressed into the brass on the bottom of the cartridge, and you can often clean it up with just a metal or glass fiber brush. So tantalizing you showed that for just a brief second but corrosion needed to be cleaned away. Greatly enjoying your finds.

[@BigLisaFan]

Agreed, 577/450 Martini Henry.

[@TrevorTrottier]

Thought the same thing looked Boer war era

[@clockwork9827]

would the cartridge have been snapped to render it useless, or ? to retrieve the gunpowder - if it is powder in the cartridge

[@clockwork9827]

how satisfying it is to see those little artistic touches on the pipes - i can imagine the pipemaker sitting at their workbench, and thinking: how shall i amaze my piping public today ? a little hand, a porpoise - i thought it was a snail !

[@officeguy3]

Came across your videos recently and I have to say they are fantastic. As a numismatic I'm excited when you find a coin(s) in your hunt for treasure. Also the history you tell with your finds. Especially the military items, as my mother served in the WAAF at Bomber Command in London at the beginning of WWII, before going to Bletchley Park. Thank you.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you. Im so glad you enjoy them x

[@diverdannavyvet9672]

Cool finds Nicola! I think you'll find the cable associated brass plate is a length or distance marker. Knot = 1 nautical mile or 2000 yards. I believe the 'yds' refers to yards. Please let me know when you get a chance to check it out at the museum.

[@7wingsaseagles89]

I did some calculations on the length of the cable it would have been 18,659 meters. Four core would mean it would have four conductors. I'm not sure but perhaps maybe this cable was particular for Island or between to Bay shorelines telegraph communications. When they first started to install submarine cables they did not like to do splices underwater.

[@ratdetecting4780]

4 cores are thickness of rope

Love the new opening, the music and great shots of the Thames. Thank you for another "classic" mudlark, with interesting history followup. Let's all hope there are many more peaceful excursions ahead, emphasis on peaceful.

[@justdustino1371]

That cartridge looked like .577-.450 Martini, Zulu War era. My paternal grandfather was born in 1893. He was in his 50s when my dad was born. He joined the Navy in 1911 and was on the battleship USS Florida when we occupied Vera Cruz, Mexico in 1914. He and other sailors were given rifles and fought in the streets to secure the city... I like that tag! I think the Atlantic cable was completed in 1857 and President Buchanan and Queen Victoria sent greetings to each other. Awesome, good video Nicola.👍 Edit: I finally remembered the name, John Mercer Brooke! He was an American Naval Office, Scientist, Inventor and Professor who was involved in the Atlantic Cable Project too! A series of Confederate cannon we're designed by him too, when he was chief of the Selma Naval Ordnance Works.....

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks. Such great info as usual Dustin. xx

[@costrio]

I was wondering if perhaps pipe stems being accidentally broken in a person's pocket might have been a fairly common reason for tossing them away. They do look fragile, IMO.

[@gibbersking6575]

Hey, that's a likely scenario.

[@tracyriordan7011]

Good point! I never thought of that, but it makes a lot of sense! ( :

[@patchthesinclair5896]

I used to smoke Irish made clay pipes in the 1970 and 80s they were easily broken but cheap as chips. I would splice a broken one with insulating tape and a match stick to get me through the day!

Always lovely to find new mudlark friends. I remember the people that I met on the foreshore when I was there…such a connection with people. One woman who has been larking for a good while in Wapping walked along with me, made sure I had a permit, verified that my tesserae were Victorian and and not Roman and showed me her finds from the day. I asked if she was happy with what she’d found and she said “Oh the foreshore never disappoints.” I just thought that was a lovely thing.
