London Mudlarking near Execution Dock - Tudor & Medieval finds

[@johnorbea2049]

Dear BBC: give Nicola an 8-part series of hour-long episodes immediately - this is fascinating and she's as engaging as she is articulate! My new favourite KZbin channel!

[@ninamoores]

I second that!

[@hunterr.9594]

was a mid to late 19TH century button - a victorian picture button to be exact with an oriental bamboo design - Thank you for such amazing videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@celticc3003]

Nicola! I stumbled upon your channel and I’m absolutely fascinated! I live in North Carolina in the US. We are happy to find anything that’s even 100 years old 😆. These objects from the 16 and 1700’s are truly treasures! I am definitely hooked on your vids and I will be watching! Cheers from an American “cousin”! 😉🙂

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you. So glad you're enjoying ❤️

[@charlesperez9976]

Good heavens,for a moment my heart skipped a beat! I rushed over to my box of finds and gifts from you,I thought that the Bartman piece that you found was the one that you gave me!! But no,a different piece,and a piece that I am so very honored to have! Thank you,Nicola!🥰

[@banginghats2]

Being the first person to touch these things for hundreds of years, or even the first since the original owner, must be a real thrill.

[@tanithkershaw]

Brilliant, when I come home from Australia I'd love to go mudlarking, it looks addictive ! X

[@sunnydavidson297]

You can go to any coastal area and find things of interest. 🤗🇺🇲

[@brandyrose9997]

Rewatching this 'cause it's awesome 💗

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you. Not do what?!

[@jomcmahon8115]

If I had a magic wand I would spend the rest of my days mudlarking with Nicola and her fellows. I am binge watching all the past episodes. Thank you all!

[@lisawilson2912]

Sick in bed all week but working my way through all of your older videos. 😊

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

I hope you get better soon. Sending you lots of love. Enjoy the videos. xox

[@helleyjones6541]

What a wonderful way to find old treasures I come from New Zealand we don’t have the extent of history that you guys do. I love watching you and seeing the lovely things you find. I would love to come over to the UK and go mudlarking 💍

[@twitchbiddy6880]

I know just how you feel also being a NZer. You don't by any chance live in Ashburton do you?

[@mikemoore9757]

I find the chain mail most interesting. We don't see that in the US. I also like the "show and tell" meeting at the end of the day when you all get together over a beer and share your findings with the viewers. You're a great bunch of people!

[@TomTom-rh5gk]

This is great because you show the surrounding area and we can learn something about where you are.

[@YonderFanj]

Went back to an old episode and really enjoyed it!

[@marniedevereux7692]

My favourite mudlarking channel!

[@shawnablake5102]

Love it! Thank you for sharing the history!!!

[@mainlyfine]

I am new to your channel and absolutely addicted. I love the way you give your viewers the historical context to your finds.

[@dreamart3395]

Just discovered "you" and your KZbin videos ... I am hooked. Love love love the pipes you find. Keep up the mudlarking ... I'll be watching.

[@tandyjenkins5333]

Just found your videos and they are so much fun, I’ll have to watch all of them. I like that you give the history of the pieces you find.

[@legendinmysparetime985]

Easily one of my favorite KZbin Channels. Keep up the amazing work!

[@metaldetectingengland]

[@amc3]

Possibly my best 26 minutes in the last few months, fantastic finds from interesting and enthusiastic people, thanks Nicola for allowing us to be there.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

amc3 thank you. My pleasure!

[@maryhelen1011]

OMG, I loved this video so much! I can't think of a better way to spend a day than mudlarking with friends! Lots of love to all of you! Thank you for sharing your adventures and treasures!

[@MultiMisstink]

Glad I’ve found your channel, fascinating stuff xx

[@sarahjudd2795]

I am intrigued by all these little pipes you find.

[@yukonphibes2963]

I so love watching you all mudlarking around the Thames. I'm a historian & all the things you find just perk my interest every single time.The half brick, pins & later, the top of the Bellarmine jar I'd say were what was left of someone's dwelling & yard along the Thames after the fire of 1666, when the foreshore was farther out. I wouldn't be surprised if the pins were put in & buried in the very same jar that neck belonged to. The jar broke & after a while the Thames came in more & the pins got well,....pinned under some rock. Just a theory, but it thinly makes some sense of their relative locations where they were found.

[@pabloposadapernikoff8229]

Hello Nicole, it"s a pleasure to go virtually along the Thames with you ! The copper object with bamboo design cut out look very much like the cover of some incense burners I've seen in Asia

[@anjistone2946]

Mudlarking is invigorating. My new hobby and I absolutely love it! 😊💖

[@kevinclark8935]

I'm hooked! Found your interesting vids on here-and can't stop watching them. So much history there.Well done and thanks.

[@Victorialands]

Really enjoyed listening to the history and watching the 3 of you search out your finds. I just love it when you find boots! Treasures, all of them.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you x

[@brandyrose9997]

"A million squillion years." Bless you, Simon.

[@theresac.3216]

Great video! Love all the great camera views, the music, the history, the comradery and the treasures found! How fun! ♡

[@kennbiggs9311]

I have viewed your videos for a couple of years now and have always enjoyed them. I love history and you just don’t see the items you find in London in Indiana, USA. Very interesting always! I also like the new formats you’ve been using to present the Mudlarking adventure and explanation of the treasures you find! Thanks Nicola, and friends!

[@itrack4u]

Excellent mudlarking. I very much enjoyed the music. Thank you.

[@evergreen8965]

Stephen was hilarious! A nice addition.

[@sebastianverney7851]

this is marvellous and the high quality of the video makes all the difference. millions of years of history picked up on the banks of the thames. perhaps we should send the elgin marbles back to greece, thanks very much for the loan, and start looking in our own backyard

[@seanlohan4713]

I only came across your channel recently and I'm enjoying all the finds along with you and your Mud-larkers. Their always interesting when you look in to the history of an item. Cheers!

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks Sean I'm glad you're enjoying them

[@SuperGinkgo]

Medieval/Early tudor bricks are often called "Clamps" named after the process of making them I believe. They are smaller than a modern industial age brick and worth reclaiming as quite sought after for repairs/alterations to listed buildings. Love the channel, subbed.

[@leeannmiddleton8719]

Awesome video collaboration Nicola!!! Some beautiful finds.

[@Tob2n]

Another pleasant video to watch. Well done to Simon, Stephen, Jonathan and to you. ( and keep making the most of this good weather ).

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you Tobias!

[@willbejamming1532]

Very watchable, this was, complete with inundation excitement, moments of hanging suspense and a compelling soundtrack. Noose work.

[@robertballard8833]

You are so fortunate to have such a large area available, all year long to search. my little site only erodes occasionally. i can find things once ever couple of days in summer.

[@repetemyname842]

What a great trove of treasures the 3 of you found, with beers at the finish. Im jealous!

[@tnbigdave4563]

Great video,Nicola,really enjoyed watching and waiting for Stephen to get stuck in the mud. Liked that forgive to forget shirt, how true,so simple but so difficult for most,glhh

[@territheoldneedleshop996]

Such a wonderful way to start the day! Great finds!

[@chefboy2160]

Wow such great fun you have and thanks for bringing us along and sharing the adventure......

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks for watching!

[@kellymontgomery1293]

this was almost as fun as going along!

[@trwhitford65]

A Mudlarking T-Shirt is a great idea. Nice video and I really like the use of the drone.

[@GeraldineJayne]

Loved this!! Great to see Stephan mudlarking for the first time!!

[@cogidubnus1953]

What a cracking film...two of my favourite KZbinrs (Nicola and Stephen) plus someone new to me, who I think I'm going to like too (Simon)...thanks so much Dave

[@clive.r1414]

A well earned pint at the end! Thank you for sharing your interesting and educational adventures. Well done to all!

[@kmaterne]

New to your channel and I’m utterly fascinated by what you guys find on the Thames. The episode with the Neolithic deer antler hoe was remarkable. I’m a rock hound and I love imagining what things were previously used for.

[@kingkong9542]

The 5c square coin is from the Dutch Antilles, still in use in Curacao. Untill 2010 "dushi" Bonaire did accept the Guilder, but now has the US dollar.

[@michazeegers]

1923 5 cent Dutch.Not Antilles (did not exist yet).They did reuse the same design later on.

[@gaylenealis7268]

I never knew there were square coins!

[@michazeegers]

@@gaylenealis7268 there are square coins all over the world (just Google it and you will see).There are coins in many different shapes not just round (triangular,octagonal,etc.).

[@sunnydavidson297]

Utterly fantastic! Years ago I was on a crop circle tour in England, in a formation. My guide handed me a flint she'd found on the ground. I will have to locate it in my still packed boxes from moving.

[@margiismith8413]

Terrific adventure, three very amazing people together in one spot, well The Man with the Hat is now officially a mudlarker too, interesting finds, cheers for sharing, 💐👍🏻👏👏👏👏🎁💖💖🇦🇺

[@donaburns7912]

I enjoy both watching and listening to your videos. That you behave with kindness to those around you ensures my regular return.

[@benjilee5279]

Love seeing Simon in your videos!

[@bridgettejones3292]

Just started watching your videos (from USA). It is amazing to me how many old pipes y'all find!

[@tractorguymark7726]

Wonderful video once again. Really enjoy the history. Thank you for sharing the experience.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks Mark!

[@sylvianedubray8011]

What i like in your video is the story (or history) behind each find. Thanks a lot and take care. 😊👍👍👍

[@judylutz1702]

Great video! One of my favorites, with 3 of my favorite tubers!

Very pleased you are all enjoying 'Caribbean weather! on your mudlarking trip. Good to see you all together. Some fascinsting finds, although that chain-mail looks painstaking to make...Grwat days on the water

[@SiLLy_onion_123]

Nice Dutch Duit!!! Got many of those ones here. 😄 But really cool that you found one there. 👍🏻

[@stevedarcy9542]

Great video as always Nicola. Some really interesting finds . Stephen with his pipe. You with the part bottle with a face and simon with his coin weight. Fantastic weather great company and treasure for all brilliant video ( PS) you should look at selling merchandise maybe a Mudlark with Nicole top. Thanks for sharing.

[@sharonlewis5225]

love the bamboo thingy. would love some of the rocks I see on your journeys.

[@justanotherfreakinchannel9069]

Nice finds, but my favorite is definitely the silver 1727 Zeelandia 2 Stuiver coin!! Keep the videos coming, GL&HH!!!

[@justanotherfreakinchannel9069]

Zeelandia is the Netherlands, by the way, so with the 1923 5c that makes 2 coins from the Netherlands!!

[@Katseye102]

Mudlarking with friends! Makes it more fun finding "bits & bobs" I think! Great video! Always love seeing The Man with a Hat too! What fun! ❤️❤️❤️

[@PompeyChris71]

Be a good idea to take a magnet and pick up loads of pins at once, lol.

[@philjones6054]

I've just stumbled across these fascinating programmes by Nicola White, and have subscribed immediately. Thoroughly looking forward to watching all your other programmes, and indeed to all future ones. Thank you so much.

Great. Thank you Phil. New one out soon. Nicola

[@dannywilliams5192]

[@Dutchy1980]

At 9:10 its an old dutch coin, From the time our provinces had their own coinage. Zeelandia, is from zeeland, 17th century?

[@bertptrs]

funny, the next coin is Dutch as well, but it says 1923.

[@aztib]

Correct it is a 17th century coin from Holland from the V.O.C so very very nice find. And the other one the square one is a silver 5 cents also from that time good find

[@zombieguy16]

@@aztib Zeelandia is from Zeeland province, V.O.C. had their own coinage. Also, the square one is a nickel 5 cents from 1923, not silver unfortunately.

[@jacq135]

@@zombieguy16 you are absolutely correct 👍👍

Text with the weapon of Zeeland is most probably "Luctor et emergo" : "I struggled to emerge" To this day the official motto of the province of Zeeland !

Looks like a nice anchor fluke sticking up in the water at 26.11 behind the Tudor brick discussion. Good searching.. thanks

At 3:36 I saw an Anchor Fluke sticking above the water! A rather nice Anchor too. I like the pottery with the Kiwi best. An interesting video while among friends. Thanks! By the way, your Gold piece is GOLD!

Thanks Jim. Yes, you are right. there is a large anchor there. Stephen wanted to drag it home!

[@tammyscally4712]

This was my first time watching i found it very interesting. Love the bits if history you add. Great job from N.W. Indiana USA.

[@MrChrissy1r]

@ 3:58 my eye was drawn to the rather large anchor arm poking out of the water.. I was curious about the prospect of Whitby as I used to go there often for the jazz nights. I often wondered if the tide ever went low enough, to be able to mud-lark... As far as I recall, the Pub had several names, The Prospect of Whitby, Wapping Wally, and Wally on the wall, were some of them,, not sure if there were any more, I was given to believe it is the oldest riverside pub! On a few occasions coach loads of tourists would turn up there..

[@robertbennett6898]

I so wish I was back in England. Great video as always.

[@evverrette1]

I'm so happy you pointed out the gallows at Wapping. I've read that the word 'whopper' for when you catch a large fish came from the corpses of executed people dropped into the Thames at Wapping and I guess fisherman would get one on their hook sometimes. So when someone got a large fish they'd say they got a Wapper.

[@LJinx3]

Si talking about a tudor brick when there is a great big anchor just hanging on offshore behind him, lol.

[@kimjameson7979]

What fun and a pint well deserved. If you have "Shoe Goo" in U.K., you might consider keeping a tube in your backpack for on the spot Wellie repairs when needed. Thanks to you all and all the best.

Hi Captain Nicola and your great crew , lovely river finds & well deserved drinks in hot Caribbean weather . bye

[@shawpaperiekas600]

I grew up in a house that used to have a pharmacy in the basement in the 1800s. So we’d find old medicine bottles from time to time when we’d be digging/playing around in the back yard. And we found a whole wagon wheel once too. Like, horse and buggy type wheel. I was in elementary school but I used to love finding stuff like that. A peek into history!

[@georgealderson4424]

Glad you did not find a horse skeleton to go with the buggy!

[@cjhobbyfly8597]

Wow that Zeelandia coin is amazing... 1790's Dutch (Colonies, maybe Guyana?)
