Metal Detecting Tudor GOLD and Silver Hammered River Thames Mudlarking 1

A day of Mudlarking in London. Very productive day with some nice finds. No detector was used at all. I have made all of the finds eyes only :)

You welcome, thank you for viewing :)

[@HobbyCache]

Good vid and finds. Nice

[@BigfootDigger]

Very interesting hunt great that you found these by eye only well done... BigfootDigger

[@tozurc]

Sometimes I don't use my metal detector, I go by my eyes only and a small shovel, nice video dude!

[@Wotdermatter]

When growing up in Fulham, my friends and I would go swimming in the Thames (I know - YUCK) but we knew nothing of the dangers of bacteria, etc. We often found small objects and usually presented them to our school. No permits but we were aware of the tide problems. The biggest danger was when river vehicles went past because their wash could drag people away. I do appreciate these shows being uploaded. One comment - please get the spelling correct.

[@simonnomis561]

Enjoyed your video mate ...well done on the gold and hammy. i live near where you was searching and always been very interested in trying it myself but just never got around to it. looking forward to some more vids soon.

[@theonlyantony]

Great video. Lovely finds. Thanks for this, Adrian. Keep up the good work!

[@metaldetectingriverthames9479]

Thank you :)

[@shropshirehistory908]

+Metal Detecting River Thames am i right saying you need a permit for this, in some parts you cant metal detect and it is scrape or by eye only, some places by eye only, and there are certain rules depending on which part of the riverbank you want to go..

[@shropshirehistory908]

+G. Jones P.S..Plus you have to hand your finds into london museum for recording!

[@Automedon2]

+G. Jones I just went to the site where you can buy the permits. There are different permits determining the depth you are allowed to dig. The permit for digging over a meter requires that you have held the lesser permit for 2 years and have reported previous finds (the law)

[@shropshirehistory908]

+TheLeatherChannel Thanks for reply, I also checked it out this morning on the Port of London Authority website, i was right with what i said and alot of rules,yes by law you have to report your finds to London museum especially anything 300 years old or more...

[@racoonman100]

Nice mate I did see a do I on mud larking and very interesting it blows you can't detect I'm sure someone's come up with a sniper coil palm size and run up the arm he he. Joking congrats Paul

Awesome video👍

[@Ashman2489]

Lovely finds I'm down there tomorrow

[@judylutz1702]

Why have you stopped posting videos. I thought I had found a wonderful channel.

[@TheBeachBadger]

enjoyed that, look forward to more :) GL

[@metaldetectingriverthames9479]

Thanks for watching :) more to come soon

[@ashleynorth4352]

That was a Great vid keep it going no one would expect show souls on a river bed lol

[@ashleynorth4352]

Shoe soul u had some great finds congrats

[@FrisianLunatic]

Enjoyed your video a lot! Subscribed and looking forward to your new content

[@metaldetectingriverthames9479]

There is more to come soon :) thank you for sub :)

[@peteragius4986]

Good video, regarding your shoe/boot soles the one in the middle looks the oldest as it's not left or right. Before 1850 there was no left or right shoe/boots design. They were just in pairs. The middle sole is a standard shape for either foot. Cheers from Pete :-D

[@sarahstrong7174]

Peter Agius Gosh Ive found loads of shoe soles. Now looking at these I think some of them were really old but I didnt know at the time.

[@Aquakleenvideos]

Interesting video! I tried doing the Tyne a year or so ago but the mud was so thick there was danger Id have been trapped! Anyway I've subscribed!!

[@oliviakostromska7769]

Exited to see your future videos good luck

[@avalondreaming1433]

If I every get back to London, I'm going to spend about 3 days doing this!

[@jc-bk1zg]

well done mate you must have good eyesite for spotting

[@sabahl101]

Very cool

[@dannyp2058]

Interesting video, I'd like to see some more! That Georgian penny, are you sure it's not William 111 half penny or penny? Lovely hammered I must agree. Thank you for this video.

[@elfrank333]

england is just amazing !!!

[@svenmulder4140]

Maybe you already know, but the hammered is a Spanish colonial cob coin struck under Philip IV in 1662. It looks like it's worth 8 maravides and struck in Madrid. Often described as a pirate coin. Nice find!

[@143DREWID]

In the day I saw no people near you or far away. At night, in off weather, poor visibility, my curiosity would prevail. I would certainly utilize gear that if dropped, would not be missed. Get excavating !

[@lowcostadventures]

Awesome video glad to sub.

[@jennywalborn7769]

Where have you gone? Loved the two vids from 6 years ago, but would love to see more!

[@SobrietyandSolace]

I found other pieces to two of the same jars as you in the same location a few weeks ago

[@WHUFC71]

Are you Stavros? " ello everybody peeps"

[@oliviakostromska7769]

The best luck ever

[@poonelopetheduck]

Medieval gold my goodness

[@7dave2ful]

Quick stroll down by the foreshore By the barges near the cermorie Battersea railway bridge. Lots of washed out mud, not Sewage looking. Should hold Interesting stuff over the winter. Broken, pottery shards. Mixed bag of modern stuff. To much metal boat yard Fragments. Flat bottomed barge, very low In the water. If more hard Rain falls up river.

[@rocketaroo]

you do great vids, time to do more? :-)

[@jeffprozee2630]

that first coin u found is dutch indeed nice find

[@svenmulder4140]

Sorry Jeff, but the first coin is not Dutch but Spanish... See the exact details for this coin in my other posting

[@NoName-uh3lp]

So how do you preserve the leather? After being in the water for so long & drying out like that you figure the leather would deteriorate rather fast.

[@Taylor791000]

see you on the next one

[@7dave2ful]

Place of interest to go hunting. August-November 2014 has Been a busy month at the Chelsea Railway Bridge repainting team. By the heliport. The large flat bottomed barge. Scoops water under it helping To shift mud etc.... At low tide, quite a lot of Things are finding there way Onto the foreshore, by the Houseboats. Victorian, stoneware bottles. Some complete, others Not so. Good hunting in Battersea. Before The barge moves away.

[@rm1tate671]

see u on the next one

[@sarahstrong7174]

Im interested to know how you can tell its Tudor gold? Ive found little beads etc but wouldnt have any idea how old they are.

[@MrJonashjensen]

maybe the coin got lost in the big fire 1666

[@kevinprice918]

Hi Adrian, interesting stuff mate, do you have to report everything you find? great vids and keep them coming

[@metaldetectingriverthames9479]

Dear Kevin, yes I report everything which is older than 300 years to PAS (Portable Antiques Scheme) to get the find-spot recorded

[@djayjarvis]

@4.44 look above the gold piece

[@WalterRMattfeld]

Your first coin appears to be a bronze half penny of William III. His name in Latin was Gvllivmus, you can see the GVL on the coin. The reverse is a seated figure of Brittania. Below her would be the date (1600s?). The silver hammered coin looks like a sixpence, 1662, the arms look English though rather than Spanish?

[@zanneBC]

Sorry that you haven't posted more vids.

[@WalterRMattfeld]

I am wrong the coin is an 8 maravedi of Phillip 4 of Spain dated 1662.

[@LindaTCornwall]

Just so you know it's not a Tudor sole, they had straight shoes, meaning each shoe could fit left or right... it's a more modern shoe as there has only been a difference in the last hundred and fifty or something years. And before anyone says that's rubbish, go ask on the British museums website they'll tell you the same. Also I hope you had the permits for this, and that you also handed over your finds to the British museum? As by law you have to.. Could find out if you did or not as sadly it wouldn't play past half way for some reason. Shame as I was enjoying your enthusiasm :( Nice Video....

[@manofkentcatapultsgunsando5069]

Linda T You nerd. Who gives a shit if he had a permit or not

[@JohnSmith-ix5gx]

who are you ?😮 you think you're a copper

[@iLitAfuseiCantStop]

Linda T if there was playback trouble it’s on your end because the video is fine.

[@bradders3949]

correct left and right shoes only came into wear in the 1820s/30s before then they were the same either foot

[@7dave2ful]

When jusy strolling along the thames foreshore for Enjoyment. Do you find the sight of Modern Concrete Pacing Bricks and Block an eyesore? Unlike old Victorian Brick that get Rounded with the passage of time and Wave action. Senor Creteo, will stay the same for the next Century. Part of the thames foreshore, do now look A lot better. With the help of annaul clear ups by Thames 21 ect....

[@ex35240sx]

What do you mean by scrapping? You just use a metal take?

[@mrtrollytroll4650]

wow a button

[@danieleccleston6730]

Surely using a pin pointer still class's as metal detecting??

[@bobv8219]

Ok I'm to join you let's crack this concrete slab . Hello mate from San Francisco

[@iLitAfuseiCantStop]

Those are not Tudor/Medieval shoe soles as left & right shoes (& the soles) were identical. They’re definitely modern.

[@Treasuretom]

The gold object looks like a little Pomander to me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomander

[@GPCTM]

how do you manage to get a license?

[@jamieleemyvlogsmorgan8917]

Do u need pomission to this

[@greyferguson9319]

Oh no, another lost soul !

[@morrisdancer11]

Please stop saying "see you in the next one" Just join them together. I really am jealous of your access to the river bank. I'm from Lancashire but have lived in Australia for over 40 years. These images and "treasures" are so stirring for me. I would love to spend a day with you It's so English, my heritage. I'm still a Lancashire Lass at heart. Love you. Vera.

[@phyllisjorgenson8997]

Your "lace things" are called aglets.

[@paintedpony6394]

Is there a reason you stopped posting???

[@HappyQuailsFarm]

How do you in good concience remove treasure from a world heritage site where you have been informed that you are not allowed dig or detect?

[@stephensaunders1845]

He didn't dig or detect. He made it very clear he knew what the rules were, and that the finds would be reported to the authorities.

[@bignedkelly9121]

love video , pls don't say see you in the next one just go to the next clip...

[@boyd501s]

lol see you in the next one.. thought it was just me

[@bettyboop65340]

get a garret pinpointer

[@IamHedgehog]

good video hope you do more like this

[@RunningGrass-we7tm]

Why did u stop? Did u die? We enjoyed your video

[@marcblack1]

My question to all of you UK/British folks, is why the hell can't you also clean up your river Thames as you go along looking for your little trinkets???

[@sarahstrong7174]

marc black I think they do remove some things, needles or blades etc. Are you willing to provide a truck so they can remove the rest?

[@zernadarkwolf]

Why cant you dig? Seems like a really odd rule.

[@spencerwilton8876]

It's a world heritage site! Like the pyramids or the Taj Mahal. Would you go there and start digging? Moron.

[@zernadarkwolf]

+Spencer Wilton wow, real nice of you to call me a moron for simply asking a question.....

[@zernadarkwolf]

+Spencer Wilton which btw, to an average persons eye who does not live in England, it looks nothing like the pyramids or such sites, it looks simply like a river bank.

[@regfox2000]

Shaking stevens🤦‍♂️sorry mate but its making me feel sick..

[@markyrotten189]

Don't clean a coin ! Removing surface dirt is ok but NEVER clean them.

[@geraldineficarelli8626]

That..."see you in the next one" every minute is a bit anoying ! Thought I would just let you know

[@0777cnut]

Are you in prison ?

[@ex35240sx]

I'm from just outside of Boston and I think its fair to say American architecture is rubbish..... The UK/ england/London its all so beautiful compaed to our ugly sky scrapers ND ugly buildings

[@ROOKTABULA]

"See you on the next one." No you won't. Shaking camera eyestrain.

[@KoATheToddster]

Good video but why advertise exactly where on the Thames you are? That is a Mudlarks worst nightmare! You advertise your exact location, then the next thing you know, it's swamped with foreigners who are detecting illegally and don't even have a permit. I'm not saying don't do videos, just don't show the world where you are exactly. Just Thames is good enough. That's why Mud Men is no longer being made. The PLA put a stop to it due to advertising the locations and illegal detecting.

[@metaldetectingriverthames9479]

Hi, it is very hard to find bits in the Thames especially eyes only, but i will ta your comment on board for the next video :)

[@sandsifter149]

Fucking dig it man..dig it..!! No one will know you have dug it...Go on...do it.

[@takunna7074]

scraping is a good way to fuck up something precious. invest in a fucking metal detector and stop fucking shit up.

[@spencerwilton8876]

Watch the full video. He is a detectorist, but this area is a world heritage site and metal detectors are banned.

[@chasleask8533]

Takunna ooooh!! You rude man!!

[@owendowie726]

wtf 2016 camera shit

[@mikedamskey8705]

You need some help with your camera work. Other than that cool video. WAY TO SHAKEY YOU WILL MAKE PEOPLE SICK.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
