Searching a drained river bed - (Hundreds of Clay Tobacco Pipes!)

[@Sifinds]

Great video Nic. Brings back wonderful memories! Can’t wait to do it again!

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks Si. Yes, that was such a great day. It made me realise how lucky we were to have that opportunity to search a drained river. So many treasures. And looking forward to seeing what you've managed to do with the lamp! See ya soon Mud Buddy x

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Simon! How's it going on restoring/upcycling that brass lamp?

[@imcavdb5465]

Si-finds Thames Mudlark Me neither 😃 that was a superb location. Londen is cluttered with small streams that want to be explored. 😉

[@martinedehoef8594]

The lamp is a fantastic find

[@suzymarshall4898]

You guys are so awesome!!! Giving each other your finds knowing the other would really treasure them. Fabulous partnership and fun finds!!!!

[@kathysenn7664]

a lead seal-- give the lady a "hand"! I love your sense of humor.. and your hat!! I recognized Thomas right off- 20 odd years of working in childcare, he is easily spotted! =P =) I am grateful for the internet and your individual and joint jaunts! It's a virtual I Spy game, and I find myself saying out loud, "look there, what is it- pick it up so we can see it" namely what looked like a small cauldron or bean pot or maybe a chamber pot (or none of the above :) ) next to the lamp!! Thank you for taking us along!! I appreciate it!! I can't wait for the video compilation of mini mudlarks!! I'm sure it will be delightful-my thanks to the contributors and you Nicola for showing off their finds!

[@kbrown5523]

Your videos have so many ingredients that I love. History, nature, art, music, they have no artifice and are so real and raw and at the same time beautiful and wonderfully produced. Thank you Nicola.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Wow, thank you. You have made my day with that beautiful comment. I really appreciate it, and you! xox

[@Kazza_8240]

Your comment was beautifully and wonderfully produced 💛

[@kathyr507]

Nicola, I’m not sure if you realize how wonderful your videos, and Si’s videos really are! You both are my escape from craziness. I cannot tell you both how much you have meant to me and so many - I’m sure! Thank you so very much!

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks Kathy. So glad you enjoy them 😘❤️

[@MrMikeyt65]

I'm going to have to echo what Kathy just said Nicola. I'm a pipe smoker,just ordered my first clay pipe.i have really enjoyed watching your videos. Hi to Si finds as well. Name is Michael. Cheers!

[@maarinabudd]

That Ship's Lamp is going to look stunning when it is restored by Simon -and it will have some of the original glass too! Fantastic! 😍 x

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Hello! ❤️

[@mmme9671]

I love your videos Nicola, so beautiful and relaxing. Great to see you and Si meet up in each others' videos, always entertaining. Still makes me smile to think back at your joke re Si whistling and you popping up confused, too funny! Thanks for the laugh, awesome. Loved the pipes and lamp!!!

[@jmfowkes466]

You and Si are the TREASURES!!!

[@juanitaskelton448]

The clusters of pipes from the kiln. Wow! So many pipe fragments..oh history in pipes! The seal...wha? So much stuff...the lamp...wow...omg...this was another fun journey...amazing! So exciting! Go team!

[@Beth_D]

You two really are king and queen of the mudlarks! This was a masterclass in mudlarking, presenting, researching, editing... the works! Well done Nic ❤️

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks Beth. You just made my evening. xox

[@annemongillo5785]

Nicola, this video was just amazingly great and the historical information and creative, artistic presentation just made it a work of art. Thank you! Also, that hat is gorgeous!

[@ilonamollema6467]

For me, the lamp was the find of the day. What a beautiful piece of history. Glad that you found the red and blue glass domes for inside the lamp. I know for sure that Simon will upcycle the lamp to an amazing piece of art. Can't wait to see what he's done with it.

[@Adam-Gates-Mudlark]

The pipe’s were epic. I can’t wait to see Simon’s up-cycle of the Lamp. Thank you Nicola. Stay safe

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks Adam! I cant wait either. I know he'll do a fab job!

[@Wreckdiver59]

[@NorthernMudlarks]

What a fantastic opportunity to search the river while it was drained. You found some really interesting stuff too. Absolutely love the ships lantern and, of course, all the pipes! xx

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thanks Gail and Alex. It was a lot of fun paddling around in that river. If only we could drain the Thames for a day! I once dreamed that it was drained and I went out on it with my vacuum cleaner :) Looking forward to meeting you both xx

[@NorthernMudlarks]

@@nicolawhitemudlark lol, I can just see you sucking up all the goodies! Yeah, we can't wait to meet up too - is so frustrating being locked away - maybe sometime this year xx

[@superbellabeau]

A pipe dream day for you Nicola! So many amazing finds! You couldn't have found a better place to explore than the remnants of a pipe factory! 😊❤

[@TheTfortwo]

In one word in what you do Nic, you are FANTASTIC xx

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you!❤️

[@DiggingCanuck]

The lamp was stunning. Love the little seal 😃

[@carenann918]

What a treat on a Sunday morning (West Coast USA) to lie in a bit, cuddle the cat (who also loves the birds in the video) and watch another great Mudlarking video. Thanks so much! can't wait to run over to Si-Finds to see the brass lamp all cleaned up.

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

thanks Caren. Hopefully we will see what Si did with the lamp within a couple of weeks xx

[@Carolbearce]

That lamp is awesome and I know Simon will make it look beautiful.

[@282828lisa]

Well finding all those pipes and the lantern was just wonderful! Some very good hunting!

[@22marketst]

What I enjoy MOST about you Nicola and Sci-Finds is how much delight you add to each other's experiences when discovering 'stuff' and the very generous way you share things - a GREAT exemplar for everyone not to mention the amazing artefacts you locate !

[@louisaziz1235]

You two never ceases to amaze me. What wonderful finds. Here is a little tip for the next time you are in that location... If you begin your larking adventure at the downstream end of the section of the river, as you search and cloud-up the water the current will carry that clouded water away and leave you with clear water to continue teasure hunting.

[@jojocm1463]

Born and bred in Guildford it’s an absolute pleasure to see you and Si explore the River Wey! As a teen my friends and I used to rent row boats for a couple of hours a time and explore as far as we could... I used to wonder what was below and now I know! Thank you for the video!

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it

[@bettyclarke5150]

Wow what a treasure trove of pipes. I can't wait to see what Simon does with the lamp.

[@tinarobertsstudios]

The artifacts are cool but you bring them back to life with your research and story telling! Thank you!

[@progqueen5952]

I am new to Si’s channel and have been binge watching. I just subbed to your channel and even though I love Si’s channel so much, it is wonderful to have a feminine take on things! I love how you explain everything! I am a 61 year old grama from Illinois. I love relics! Greetings and much luv from Illinois!

[@roberttownsend8244]

Hi Nic !! Brilliant Visio with you and Si and also Jules!!! I wanted to tell you about the Seal made of lead that you found. I had one when I was a little chap! It was originally covered in seal fur and they we're sold in children's museums!! Being in the USA I think mine was bought at the N.Y. natural history museum!! Of course as a child I managed to pull the fur Off of it!!!

[@denisefallin8042]

Always enjoy your videos so much! U are always dressed so cute-I loved your hat. (and of course ALL the great finds...lol)

[@bathshuaspooner8553]

What kind of twisted soul downvotes these lovely videos? Nicola has become my Sunday night habit

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

ah Thanks! :) xx

[@kayesdigginit1519]

Wonderful pipe and pipe stem finds, beautiful designs!! The lamp that you found is gong to be beautiful when Simon brings it back to life 😃 The placards, the toy cars and that lead seal are very cool finds. Your tide line and foreshore hunts are a dream for those of us in the US 💖 So many amazing relics make their reappearances due to yours, Simons and others efforts. I really appreciate your searches and videos very very much!! ☺

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you Kaye. Really appreciate your comments and so glad you enjoy - much love from London xx

Great video…you and Si have so much fun in the MUCK !!! And I love the pottery pieces at the end…..especially the ones with the dulled edges…..that have been rolled around so long….

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you. Really glad you're enjoying the videos ❤️

[@SaltwaterSean]

That clay pipe is awesome. What a find.

[@elizabethhendershott5465]

I never heard of mud Larkin until I stumbled across your videos, now I watch so many you opened my world I’m home one even before COVID. Because I have a little angel who severely disabled on a ventilator. Hope and praying she makes through this virus. So you’re videos really help. Thank you

[@lindaodellvermont]

The brass lamp is a wonderful find, and the glass lenses are the cherry on top! The seal is elegant in its simplicity, and I know you love your little metal plaques. I think I had nearly as much fun watching as you did discovering your treasures.

[@bigsmoke8955]

Oh my God! are you so nice I love you, you respect the sea and him all ... I love all the videos and by the way, I love this great lamp and I need it

Rarely does a chance of mudlarking a drained river arise, dream material! I can't believe you and Si found the glass bits to go with that amazing brass lamp, expert mudlarking at it's best. Thank you.

[@grandee4383]

Hi Nicola. So happy to have this wonderful video to brighten my day. My recovery is still going well! I’m out of my pretty pink cast, in an ugly black brace, and have started physical therapy. I must tell you that the little seal you found brought back memories of the video you have of your precious pup meeting the seal 🦭 down on the foreshore. For that reason, the lil 🦭 is my favorite find of this video. I truly loved the pipe that was encased in the clay from the kiln. I’m happy you will be able to donate so much to help document the history of that pipe maker. You continue to produce such quality videos and I thank you for your hard work. Take good care my friend!! Love from DeeAnn in Georgia 🇺🇸

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Thank you DeeAnn. yes, I still remember that seal encounter with much fondness. Much love to you from me xxx

[@dudley8671]

The River Wey doesn't possess the majesty of the Thames foreshore, *but spellbinding* to watch all those pipes & other finds pulled from it's drained river bed. I would share Si-finds doggedness (a nod to lovely Poppy😉) to find those missing lamp pieces. Simon is a good friend, just as you are to him. Wonderful to watch. Kindly🧡Dudley

Thanks Dudley. xx

[@dudley8671]

[@Dieubussy]

I have an explanation for the pipes embedded in mortar. In Gustave Flaubert's last novel "Bouvard et Pécuchet" his heroes build a door in the wall of their garden, surrounded by old pipes likewise embedded in mortar. It could be a forgotten fad of the times (first half of XIXth century). Thanks for the videos allways lively and informative.
