Having done some time as a production engineer, it does my heart good to see "Thames" fish going back into production! The amber glass insulator may have a radio application: not just from the material but also because the diameter of the rings changes. I won't comment on the precise location where this might have been made, but there is a story involving secrets and a factory where it might or might not have come from: Ashe Lincoln, a barrister and also a commander in the RNVR, spent most of WWII variously defusing German and Japanese secret weapons in order to study them and devise counter-measures, or picking up enough widely-scattered bits of secret weapons for the same purpose. He got through the whole war without being widely-scattered himself. His memoir "Secret Naval Investigator" describes his efforts to reverse engineer what turned out to be an acoustic homing torpedo. This had electronic rather than electro-mechancial parts including amplifiers and filters made using "valves" (Vacuum-tubes if you are American.) He eventually collected enough bits to make a whole one, but he needed the right make and model of (intact and working!) valves to make his replica guidance system work well enough to know how to jam it. Obviously, they weren't British or American valves -and they weren't German, either! They were made by a factory in the Low Countries, forced to produce high-tech parts for the occupiers. Commander Lincoln sent MI6 a messages saying that he'd done all he could, without the specific valves. A few nights later, two RAF officers knocked on his door, put him in their car and drove him to a hotel room somewhere in North London, without telling him where he was and who he was to meet. A pleasant, older man with a "low countries" accent entered the room and shook his hand. This was the managing director of the factory making high-tech electronic components for German secret weapons, who made a list of the valves that Commander Lincoln needed. Then the RAF officers hustled the Managing Director away so they could return him to his factory in occupied Europe before anyone knew he had gone anywhere. A week later a courier delivered a small suitcase, containing all the valves and other components that Commander Lincoln wanted, allowing him to work out what part of a ship's complex noise signature the torpedoes homed on. A "screamer" box was mass produced and fitted to many ships, not all of which were sensibly used but when they were, they substantially reduced the risk of being sunk.

Please don’t see this as telling you what to do, I can only speak from my own experience, but what I have found, and it’s taken a long time to realise it, is that you need to look after yourself first. It’s counterintuitive, and sounds selfish, but it’s not. Be kind to yourself, and you’ll be in a stronger position to give help to others. I’ve found all sorts of material on KZbin that has helped considerably, especially when trying to relax and sleep. The answer really is within. I do wish you well. X

Hello from the USA. I am continually amazed at the shear volume of items laying about on the river Thames as well as various other shores. The value of some of them take my breath away. The unbelievable length of history these places have seen and collected is astounding as is the realization that even if all the items laying on the surface were collected the very next tide or storm surge would bring even more to light! I don’t think you could ever run out of things to find.

It’s a wonderful travel investment to purchase a permit from the Port Authority there and fly over to mudlark the Thames. I was giddy as a schoolgirl at the layers of history.

[@paulkinzer7661]

Oh, boy, there were so many things that fascinated me this week! First, the lovely orange glass you found at about 5:58, as you said, is industrial: it is an insulator for electric power lines, and they are collectable over here in the USA. We don't have Roman coins and pottery, but we do have old glass insulators that were used on lines across thousands of miles of prairie, forest, farmland, and desert. When old lines were abandoned, they were typically just left to fall into ruin. You can still find lone poles with cross beams rotting alone in the middle of nowhere. Second, when you showed us the silver bit that you thought might be a cigarette holder, my first thought was that it may have been the handle to a razor. I recall my father having something similar, which he got in the 1940s or 50s. There's more, but I'll finish by saying that, truly, one of the things that helps with MY anxiety is watching you and Si. I have several KZbin creators that I follow, but you two are the ones I most look forward to seeing each time I get a notification. You are good, curious, caring people, who share such fascinating stories, with empathy and considerate connection across centuries, but also between living people. I find that your videos do two seemingly opposed things for me: you provide an escape from the world while simultaneously connecting me to it. Thanks so much!

[@chrisberry9017]

Perfectly said! Nicola’s empathy with her finds and the folk they connect to is palpable, and her genuine care for her viewers certainly comes across. A lady who goes the extra mile!

That brass thing at 23:53 looks like a holy water container to me you could put up on your wall and fill with holy water from the church to bless whatever you needed to bless. My very catholic grandma had one that looked similar. And as you also found the Lourdes commemorative coin, this could be very well one of these. It would be attached to a nice piece of wood with that screw thing on the back and that wood thing plus the container would hang on your wall.

The Crown with the loop on the back probably had a backing plate, you push the loop through a hole in clothing or a hat and then put the plate with a hole in it on the inside of the clothing, then a pin like a split pin goes through the loop to fix it in place.

The RED Glass Fish is an incredible work of art fashioned from recycled glass. At the end of a long day I clear my head by viewing a Nicola White mudlark video. I love the shore birds and the Crows. I have a mobility handicap and due for surgery scheduled i a few weeks. I hope I can get to the beach, a few hours drive away and do some Beach Sand Larking in a month or two. In the mean time I can recuperate from surgery by enjoying Nicola's videos and envisioning that I too am strolling along the Thames fore shore finding little treasures here and there.

My guess for the silver 'bugle' shaped piece is that it's part of a horsehair tassel from a sporran. The horse hair is glued to a little wooden peg and inserted into the silver fitting. Just a guess, of course. My guess for the half round piece is a drawer pull. Turn it upside down.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who is apparently mud blind. 🤣🤣 I always see lots of other things that I want her to look at. 😁😉
