Mudlarking the River Thames - My Best Ever Mudlarking Finds so far this year (June 2021)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2021
- I recently had the best ever mudlarking outing on a particularly low tide on the River Thames in London. From the moment I walked down onto the foreshore I spotted a special something staring up at me through the mud! And then it just went on from there. Coins, the LONGEST pipe ever and a really curious little token which I had great fun researching.
I hope you enjoy accompanying me virtually on this special mudlarking outing!
If you are tempted to try mudlarking, then you do need a permit from the Port of London Authority. You can find out all the info on their website here:-

Thank you for watching. If you'd like to find out what some of my all time mudlarking finds are so far, then take a look at this video here : th-cam.com/video/ZBXYR9pStF0/w-d-xo.html
Maybe you'd be a bit grumpy if you'd been lying on your back in the mud staring at the sky for 300 years! 😉 Excellent video as usual.
@@davidprovan2250 How true! 😂🤣
@@davidprovan2250 ha ha yes good point. And what a very different world he has emerged into from the last one he saw
@@nicolawhitemudlark I'm sure they will all cheer up soon in the warm and dry!
Nicola I wanted to bring your attention to a "Roman" find that you missed in your video - I have taken a screenshot and highlighted it ibb.co/pK10x6m hopefully you can go back and recover it since it is near that big chain and should be easy to find again.
Feet Up,Eating A Cornish Pasty. And Watching You Exploring The Thames. Brilliant !!!!!!!!
so glad you're enjoying Roger xx
11:59 Picture an excited Mudlark 300 years from now "Oooh it's a shopping trolley! If we wipe off the handle we can tell which supermarket it came from!" Awesome video as always Nicola, that intact clay pipe was really special.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Nicole found Amelia Earheart’s plane some day.
absolutely!
She just might!
Ageed
Longest pipe I have ever seen!
He is grumpy because the wine/beer is inside he is on the outside. When the wine is gone it's a witches bottle. Poor man I'm happy you brought him home. Great finds thanks Nicola
Thank you x
Still miss the old country .....being an english lad!...from Cheltenham ..Left in 1968 when i was 14... Live in Adelaide South Australia now...I alway's love this and keep coming back. Thank's Nicola...⭐🦘🦘⭐
Thanks Gerry!
Trust me mate, you're much better off in Australia, England is not the same as it was ! I wish I'd moved Australia or Canada when I was younger. All the best. 🏴
@@lesallison9047 Thank's mate!.....I went back in 1990... was good to catch up with family still there!...but it was nice to come back! Cheer's Les take care 👍🦘🦘👍
@@gerryricketts2542 Cheers Grerry 🍻 have a good one. 👍
The best part of Sunday❤️
Happy Father’s Day to all who are celebrating ✨
We had a garage sale and had stacked a bunch of boxes full of broken glass and ceramic objects. An artist came by and took them off our hands. To us, it was trash; to her, it was treasure!
That's often the way it is! Well done for giving it away
All hail Nicola, queen of mudlarks and pipe extractor extraordinaire. 😍 You are much loved🤘and appreciated🥰
Awwww, the swans and their cygnets. So beautiful
Great finds Nicola 😊 !!! Nice clay pipes especially the very long one & I loved your friend's tiny clay pipe !!! Nice coins. Love the Bertmann bottle neck with the grumpy man's face !!! When you put him with the other 3 grumpy men faces I said "they are the Bertmann Brothers" !!! That was so sweet & darling at the end of your video of you holding that beautiful baby duck & was able to find it's mom & I absolutely loved that you named him Elvis !!! Elvis has been my favorite singer since I was a little girl around 8 years old !!! Really enjoyed your video Nicola !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙂
I once worked at a bank with a change counter and one of my duties was to tend to it by taking out full bags of coins and removing (and appropriating, because no one said I couldn’t) objects that weren’t modern American currency from a catch at the bottom. I found wonderful things in there, including an American Civil War-era two penny piece counterstamped with the name T. L. Fletcher. It’s one of the neatest things in my collection and this video reminded me that I have it!
I love watching your videos my wife and I live in Santa Cruz California and my daughter is in the United States Air Force stationed in Mildenhall England. Your videos give us a great connection to our daughter she was just in London last weekend. Thank you
Thanks Jack. Im so glad you enjoy the videos. I hope your daughter enjoyed her visit to London x
@@nicolawhitemudlark she loved it ! She wants to go back on here next leave. My wife and I cant wait to visit soon !
Nicola…thank you for being on TH-cam. I don’t sleep well, so I watch you usually late at night when the house is quiet. I appreciate having you to be with me.
Hi Maria, I'm so glad you enjoy them. Sending you love. Nicola ❤️
I COULD LISTEN TO THIS LADYS VOICE ALL NIGHT RELAXING. PLUS GREAT HISTORY KNOWLEDGE AND FINDS, LOTS OF SMOKER'S ABOUT PIPES.,
I am so jealous that Bartman face is my dream find ❤️🇨🇦and that long pipe you are blessed girl ,
Good morning. ☕
My wife & I really enjoy you channel. We watch you in the morning over coffee. You make our morning a little bit more special.
Thank you & God bless. 💞
Hi Stanley, Im so glad that you both enjoy the channel. Sending you both much love from London xx
Nic, you are living art. Full of grace,beauty and most importantly wisdom.
Thank you for doing these great Videos for us.
Thanks John. That is so very kind of you xx
The way you talk sometimes, especially at the start of this one, really reminded me of the type of random programmes my teacher would put on in infant school when they rolled the TV in for TV time. What fun and carefree times 🙂
Haha I remember those well. I hope that's a compliment 😀
@@nicolawhitemudlark Certainly a compliment, I very much enjoyed this one! Thank you 🙏🏼
Nothing like Nicola's excitement about a long pipe!
Ahh, perfect Sunday with Nicola!
Absolutely nothing on TV beats this. How.lovely is this! Discovering historical items off the thames. The history Channel wishes they could be this original. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you ❤️
If you get London Live channel on your Freeview then this channel is on TV.
Wonderful to see! I think the Pears Soap coin is my favourite item 😊
Your have me inspired to take a trip from Las Vegas to London just to mudlark! My ex bf lives in Croydon. We're still great friends and when I told him about you and wish I'd known about mudlarking when I used to visit him 20 yrs ago, he knew who you were because he goes to hear your son's band quite a bit! Small world!
Another tummy full of historical data. Thanks a million Nicola. Keep up the good work.
So glad the duckling was reunited with its mum. Great work, and some great finds on the foreshore too! Loved it!
Hi Nicola , still find it amazing that something as fragile as a pipe can lay in the mud and clutter of the Thames and stay intact,another amazing video 🌹❤️
me too! incredible really when you think about all the mudlarks that have walked over that pipe!
❤ Thank you Nicola, love treasure hunting and watching you mudlark is so appealing to my Treasure Hunting spirit, someday I would love to mudlark the Thames, your great!!! Thank you for creating this content
Hi Nicola, always happy to see you. Wow, what a long stemmed pipe. Surprise! Enjoyed watching ! Keep up these wonderful videos. Take care, Joyce🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱. ❤️.
Every time you shake things in the water to clean it off, I start shaking my phone… as though that’s going to help get it cleaner!! Lol!
Aw, thank you Nicola for going out of your way to reunite that baby ducking with its mom. Your history finds are always amazing but there is nothing more precious than someone making a positive difference in the world they live in here and now. We need more people like you!
Thanks Robin xx
That pipe laid in the mud unbroken for almost 300 years! Amazing.
My favorite is the Bartmann face! So much personality 😊
Wow some incredible finds. I can’t believe those pipes, they are so long!! It’s so fascinating how they’ve survived intact all those years. Thank you for another amazing video 👍
The long straw kept coming :) wow
I still use pears soap.. so much history just waiting to be uncovered...hi Nicola all the way from Trinidad
Nicola you started agin with some lovely music and the swans and cygnets and others well watched. A wide variety of objects for you and us to enjoy, another Sunday evening watching you getting muddy and me staying in the dry Ha Ha.🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️🧴
Im in the states and adore your channel. Followed for years now. Thank you Nic!.
Thank you ❤️
I really appreciate the history lessons with mudlarking.
A Sunday afternoon w. Nic!
- beautiful swans ☀️🦢 and a lost/found duckling! 🦆
Thát, was (still) some pipe!! 😲😉
Love an eclectic clean-up 🥰
Hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
Thank you so much for saving that little duckling.
Wow!!! What terrific day you had...that pipe and the Bartman Man, too...just amazing! Congratulations, and I love that you helped little Elvis find his mother:)
I have a Harper’s Magazine from 1884 with Pears soap advertisements in it. That’s so cool that you found a token!
Oh WOW my favorite pipe whisperer! That is an amazing pipe! And Bartman. Love your adventures. Here in Florida, USA
So many lovelies. Some never before known to us all these years on. It must be so exciting to wonder what the Old Father has in store, what he's willing to share! But not too much because he wants you back and again!❤
If Nicola finds the crown jewels next it will pale in comparison to that pipe with the very long stem which caused her to lapse into raptures of pure pipe ecstasy . To us her fans we know the feeling it happens when Nicola posts a new vlog. Another fun filled blog with a record length pipe then Nicola looking very summery as she sends greetings to young Archie another fan in Singapore" .Hi Archie History is fun no matter where you are.is the Tiger Balm gardens still there? Thanks Nicola so good to see you ,take care Cheers from Canada XX
Thanks Ralph xx
First, thanks so much for all the lovely footage of water babies, Adorable. What wonderful finds, I love the long pipe but the Bartman face is my favorite, Thanks Nicola.
Thanks Debbie I also love that bartmann face x
Nicole you have the best eyes it amazes me that you can find coins you collect. I loved the long pipe! Thank you for sharing.
Carol
I really absolutely loved the way you put in the after pic of the coins while the video played with the coins being found. Like a before and after cleaned up but together in the frame when you find it. I know it takes a lot to edit but I believe that would make your videos stand out from the rest. What A beautiful find, that pipe!!!!! Never seen one that intact before!!!!! Thank you for videoing these for us!!!!!! I want a metal detector so bad!!!! One day!!!!
I am so pleased for you for your pipe find- I found myself holding my breath as you pulled it out- whispering don’t break, don’t break. So happy for you
Ref. Counter-stamped coins: My brother served in Northern Ireland during the 1970’s and when home on leave he would bring back coins which had been stamped with the initials of the various paramilitary organisations. The squaddies would collect them as souvenirs.
So interesting. I wonder if a soldier made mine
Oh my goodness that was the most fantastic pipe find !!!
Another great video. I couldn’t believe it when the pipe kept going. Thank you!
me neither!!
I loved history in school. I love your stories and the way you tell them.
Great ending to this video!!! 👏🏻❤️ Thanks Nicola!
That pipe was epic and I love the Bartman pieces. I love the history behind it all! Thanks for taking me along. Love from Tennessee USA
Chuckle! There are just so Many things peeking out of the lovely Thames mud!
i love how the face seems to come to life as it is uncovered in the mud - imagine if the Bartmann could speak - what would he say ?
Oh my, what a lovely long pipe! The Bellarmine/Bartmann face/bottle neck is a beautiful find Nicola and well done for reuniting Elvis the duckling with it's mother too xx
That pipe extraction was crazy! It's been a while since you've had a big one like that !!
You're right!!
Good day...!. hi from the Puget Sound.
I’ve been spending the week on the beach myself in one of the first settlements in the Pacific Northwest but I’ve only found fresh air and sunshine
Hiya Nicola,
Great work with Elvis the not so ugly duckling. I would think we would have a sour expression too if we were full of beer or wine, but enjoyed not one drop!
I love your fish-art, very brave of you, brave? Well, it takes a lot of bottle!!! Boom-Boom!
It's wonderful that you don't stop with the finding but look for the history behind the find too.
Stay safe, Steve...
Thanks Steve xx
How amazing that there’s treasure just all around🥰
Ahhh! Those soothing tones of Nicola!
I love pears soap, beautiful find. The pipe was awesome Nic, enjoy your week and yes the sun is shining today.🇨🇦🐘🍁❤
Thanks Marion. Hope you're doing well. love Nicola x
That was definitely a hold you breath moment as you extracted the pipe. Congratulations !
Always look forward to Sunday afternoon when I can sit down and watch you and Simon. Wonderful finds.
I'm surprised TH-cam didn't censor what's written on your counter stamped coin 😲Great video,cheers Nicola🍻
And now it will
If that was written long ago people's spelling wasn't that great. You could look at it as, count, not what your suggesting.
I don't get it, all it said was Pears soap??
@@suzettecalleja3122 apparently it was from WW2 and was stamped with abbreviation of C Unit 1914.
Thank you for the swans and the cygnets, beautiful video. Looks like a lovely day. What an amazing pipe.
That piece of Bellamine was stunning!
Fantastic video as always! That pipe!! Wow! Amazing find!! Also along with pears soap and a queen Victoria coin.
You made me laugh when you said ‘If I break this pipe I will never make a video again!’
Look forward to seeing next week’s finds x
You always have a good eye for a picture 😉👌
Happy for your long stemmed pipe find! I didn’t know they came that long.
They came longer
Her sheer joy was so great!
Look up Churchwarden pipe!
yes indeed! they even come longer!
@@nicolawhitemudlark lol I'm watching you and si find a pipe bowl as you replied
What a beautiful day made even more better with that AMAZING pipe. Just fabulous ❤️😉😁
Just found this channel last night. I'm absolutely amazed! I've combed beaches forever, all over the U.S and never found anything but shells! I'm addicted now after seeing the chain mall, here in the united states' I don't think we even have dirt that old- fascinating!😀
Welcome Michelle!
I suppose it depends on where you look or what you find interesting. I've lived all over Canada and several parts throughout the United States and have gone digging around rivers and shorelines and have found some pretty interesting things. Coins from prior to the creation of the United States, pottery with decorative motifs that likely date to pre-European settlement, Red Jasper and Turquoise that too probably dates prior to European settlement of North America. I was also with a friend in New Mexico about a decade ago and he found Spanish sword tip that likely belonged to conquistadors from expeditions to the area by Chamuscado or Rodríguez from 1581-1582.
Hello from a chilly New Zealand.
Sweet finds Nicola.
Didn't realize the pipes were so long!
I've only found a handful in 40 + years over here.
The glass fish you are creating, are truly amazing !
Well done you!!!
Thanks for the adventure.
From the land of the Kiwis.
That was a fab video Nicola...and so happy Elvis and Mother were reunited!!
Pears Soap is my favourite and totally agree, the smell is gorgeously cleansing. Just adore Your Channel , a heartfelt thankyou Nicola for taking us through lockdown and everything You do !!!, Would love to join you one day on the glorious River Thames for a Mud Lark ,Lots of Love Juliet xoxoxo
I so enjoy watching you mudlarking. I live in Western Colorado, we are currently enduring forest fires. Every night I go to bed smelling campfire in the middle of the suburban sprawl. Please wish for us to have some soaking rain we are in the midst of drought. Thank you so much for showing us the foreshore.
Hello! so sorry to hear that. I do hope you have lots of rain soon. stay safe xx
Beautiful Pipes! wow amazing the old coins still can be found after all these years! Wonderful finds and history! love the baby Geese!
Thank you Debra. x
Very good video full of interesting information. The extra long Tobacco pipe was such a great find! Very suspenseful really! Love all the old coins as well! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us! Best of luck on the next from us!!
Thank you very much! ❤️
Wonderful to watch a professional video and read intelligent comments on youtube. Rare finds indeed!
Thank you so much for showing us your amazing finds!! 👍🙏🙏🙏
What a wonderful video from beautiful swans to all the fantastic finds!
So fun to learn about the Pears soap token. Before I was married, my bathroom in my parents house was decorated in pears soap ads. I miss that bathroom.
You videos are just like anti stress for , I imagine I am mudlarking too, tranquillity ahh,so tired I am. Thanks!
I love the coins.old tokens. Yes!
Nicola, princess of the Thames!👍
What a morning of finds.... I do have favorites. The Pears' Soap token has an excellent story but the 1862 Exhibition pipe seduces me with the notion of World Expedition souvenirs! The River Thames was generous... but also, to a most gracious guest❤! 😊Dudley
Thrilled to be so early to view this video! Excellent finds! I cherish your beautiful shadow box art piece I was fortunate enough to receive almost a year ago. ATB.
Thanks so much Erin xx
Don’t even joke about not making anymore videos. I would be very upset as yours are the best.
Oh man, the giant pipe was awesome.
Bet you were chuffed. The bartman was exciting as well. Enjoyed your “live” last week.
I think that pulling a long pipe like that out of the mud must be a glorious experience. :-) Love the history behind the Pears Soap coin, thanks for researching it. Love the collabs, so glad you are able to get out to enjoy them.
Hi NICOLA. Another wonderful video.So good to have you back. Lovely finds beatifuly researched. Loved the pipe.Cant wait for your vids with other mudlarks. Stay safe.
Crabby wildman! What a find! I thought your torso/horse was a camel when you showed it! Lol! How lucky to find all your treasures....those pipes! Keep mucking!
Omg! When you pulled that pipe out with the long stem, I think I was just as excited as you!
I gasped as you pulled that pipe. I gasped again when you showed us that second (your only other) counter stamped coin. 😂 Always such a pleasure watching your adventures. ❤️
Excellent finds, that long stemmed pipe is a real beauty!
I'm always happy when you find something exciting to show us!
Haven't commented in a while, but I always enjoy your posts, Nicola. How astounding that such a fragile, long pipe lasted, intact, in the foreshore mud, for centuries. So glad you liberated him from his precarious location. I had goosebumps, as you kept pulling and the pipe just kept going. FAB ! Also, your old, bearded man bottle neck. Thanks for letting us search the Thames shoreline with you. Fascinating.
Thank you ❤️😘
What a treasure that whole pipe was !
Thank you Nicola for another wonderful video. Take care.
Thanks Janet ❤️
