Mudlarking in Wapping

[@TheSimMan]

5:57 Anyone else gasp when it fell? 😬 Beautiful piece, the colours are amazing!

[@richardhemery6916]

Me!

[@historyhardy5529]

Such great finds . I agree with all the other comments that we enjoy the way you take us from the fragment to the cleaned piece and what a complete piece would have looked like. All that and a Georgian coin!!

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you, it was a special find.

[@christinesbetterknitting4533]

Congratulation on the coin find! Thank you for sharing your appreciation for the delicate painted and glazed shards which are now evocative and abstract.

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you.

[@lisafarr2317]

Awesome video. Loved all the bits u picked, the coin was a fantastic eye find.

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you.

[@snafufubar]

Great vid. Certainly helps me identify and date my finds.

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you.

[@f.k.burnham8491]

I really enjoyed this video. One thing I especially like is when you find a pottery shard, you show a picture of what the item would have looked intact. If you and Nicola at Tideline Art could get together and do a combined video it would be truly spectacular. Thanks for the video. I shall be awaiting the 2nd part eagerly

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you, I have never met her on the foreshore but I would like to do that.

[@Catmoore60]

I, too, really enjoy seeing the whole object that the pieces you find represent. It gives the pieces a life of their own, and helps their history come alive. Very nice job!

[@richardhemery6916]

@@Catmoore60 Thanks!

[@timkibben8004]

Thank you again, Richard! Always educational. I especially liked, after you found the shrapnel, your mini-tribute to the coast watchers and those who defended the Isles from the Hun. every time I see your videos, I look at my Thames Foreshore Permit and get excited about coming over. October can't come too soon!

[@richardhemery6916]

Thanks Tim, I still meet people with memories from those days. One of my volunteers today talked about the sound of a V1 going over our home town.

[@theresac.3216]

I don't recall ever seeing "Batavian Ware" before. How interesting!

[@richardhemery6916]

Thanks.

[@grittykitty8005]

Your knowledge of these tiny pieces of History is very impressive , Sir .

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you gritty kitty!

[@anonimus8375]

I love your videos. Your knowledge of pottery is very impressive.

[@richardhemery6916]

Thanks!

[@SocialStudiesMane]

What a mind pleasure to learn from your wealth of knowledge!

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you!

[@mirkatu3249]

Agreeing with the others: I so appreciate that you took the time to include photos of what your finds look like as an entire piece! Another great video, thank you!

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you so much.

[@limmoblack]

I think also, it would be good if you and Nicola done a video together. Also perhaps your moniker should be something like- Richard Hemery mudlark potter, or something like. Can't believe how quick that 19 minutes went

[@richardhemery6916]

Thanks, I'd like to do a combined video.

[@limmoblack]

@@richardhemery6916 I messaged Nicola, and yes she would be interested, and said she would contact you.

[@richardhemery6916]

@@limmoblack thanks, I look forward to it.

Geese are never friendly. take it from a Canadian...you can keep that one, we have millions. Lovely and informative video

[@richardhemery6916]

Ha ha, thanks, I decided not to take the geese home!

[@stevegreenwood7837]

Really enjoyed this so interesting fascinating too . thank you . Steve

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you Steve.

[@RunningGrass-we7tm]

Alot of fun watching your videos, and very educational

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you

[@smaxxxxxxx]

Always terrific. Those Egyptian geese were a bit feisty when I was there a few weeks ago.

[@richardhemery6916]

A bit noisy too!

[@YvonneO]

Hi Richard 👋 hope your doing well and that you are editing videos to air soon. Enjoyed this one and especially the extra photos and complete items. Learn a lot from your knowledge. Cheers from Michigan 🇺🇸😁

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you! We are all well, and I hope you are too, thanks for your kind comments.

Beautiful beautiful video👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏hello from Rome

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you, I loved Rome when I went, some interesting pottery in the flower beds in the parks!

[@conitorres9774]

Wonderful video and great fibds

[@richardhemery6916]

Thanks!

[@westcountrymudlarks]

Loved the video pottery still a maze for me but your book helps so much thank you

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you.

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

Great video some good finds

[@avrilwilkinson21]

A really interesting pottery video - thank you. But aren't you ever tempted to wear gloves when you mudlark? I noticed you'd got a cut finger at one point and the Thames water must have some nasties in it!

[@richardhemery6916]

You are so right, I only noticed the blood when I was videoing and I was annoyed with myself - Limes disease from rat wee and raw sewage all around!! I washed very thoroughly when I got home!

[@delukxy]

Enjoyed that but why not full screen? I know I'm not the only one who hates vertical phone shots but here it didn't intrude too much. Looking forward to part 2.

[@richardhemery6916]

Thank you, I don't know why I did it portrait, I should get use to holding it landscape - I'll try it on my next trip.

[@delukxy]

Thanks Richard. What about the visible screen size. It's just coming up as a pane in the middle of the screen with a huge black border. I watch on a 23" screen on my PC but anyone using a tablet, or worse, a phone, will lose a lot and maybe lose interest too.

[@richardhemery6916]

@@delukxy Yes, good point, I'm not sure how to fix that, I suppose video editing will help.

[@delukxy]

I think Nicola had the same problem a while back but she's sorted it now. It maybe the size selection when you upload to YT?

[@richardhemery6916]

@@delukxy yes, I will check that thanks.
