- Out on the river at this months low tide looking for artefacts on London's Thames in Wapping near the site of Execution Dock. See real mudlarking and the famous tide along the historic docks of London. This is where pirates were executed, their bodies locked in a cage that submerged with every tide.
I can see I will not get tired of watching your videos. I love the little bits of history you throw in there while strolling around town or on the Thames. Thanks for sharing.
Chill Bill, I love to watch your videos, but, I have a request. Please slow the camera down when you move it. I get dizzy from some of your quick moves, especially when you're panning around. So, Chill Bill, I'm asking you to chill, Bill. Thanks!
Trying to do this..... you may notice it in later video.
Bill/Thanks, I didn't like to say any thing but I was getting the same thing as Laurene.
edit I see I have paused at 3.57 for that reason.
I was just about to say the same thing , I do not think they realize that some one els is watching ?
Yes! Please! We're missing what you're showing us.
It makes me feel cross-eyed. Otherwise good. Just slow it down a bit please.
I'm willing to bet all you mud larkers over there have at least 100 of those old antique clay pipes each...and those things are simply amazing my friend! Great hunts as always ..I love to watch the mudlark videos best of all i believe...i really like them more than the old coins people find because its amazing to think of the rough old peoples who smoked out of those old pipes, plus all the other neat stuff yall find..HH and great videos ChillBill!!
What a marvelous resource. You are all so lucky.
Thanks so much for sharing your videos they are very interesting Bill.
Our swimming spot, close to an old tourist attraction fort used to yield pockets full of clay pipe remnants and musket balls. The soldiers of the 19th century used to fire their guns over the water. Old coins only rarely. Of course we were of an age where the only thing a penny was good for was a penny's worth of candy! We used to scan the water 5 feet deep or so and you could always get buttons, musket balls, clay pipes. Can't do it now, of course. You'd get arrested. Back in 1960 nobody cared much. I think my brother and his friends used to sell them to the fort...so much per pound of musket balls.
Always looking for a something lol neat video with a few funny jokes mixed in. Thank you, subbed 👍🏼
Great vid, thanks for sharing
That is a fun video. wish I could have dug some and drank some too. :) Loved the alley bit.
+chris fry I will be doing more this year. Glad you liked it.
How did you get LICENCE from the London Museum for Thames Mudlarking. I thought they only issue about 7 or 8 per year?
Get one at PLA.co.uk
My deus xp would do well in that iron.
Nice video .
Dig the eroded spot and let stuff drop out ill bet you find some rather nice bits n bobs my friend..
Or bring a clam rake with you and do some raking on the shore.
Hello from the States. Great video. I hit subscribe.
+trreb1 thanks a lot.
Enjoyed that thanks for sharing
+Diggin With Dash happy new year!
I cringed at 10:14. Hypo needles all too common nowadays. Safe digging to you, sir. Great video.
I really want to go back to the UK I loved it so much
Does some restriction prevent you from turning soil over with a shovel? I would love to do this some time.
+Satellite Weavers there is a depth restriction but you can go a spade depth in all but the most restricted areas like the roman foreshore. People do that. Patches of artifacts are everywhere though and you can scrape the surface every few feet with a chance of finding stuff and as time is limited by the tide that's what I generally do.
Great video!
+cojo metal detecting thanks!
wats the price of scrap steel there per kilo?
The amount of nails ive seen, if collected would be worth something as scrap metal :O)
The camerawork is too fast! Take your time…it’s making me dizzy 🤢
If I was younger I would be down there every night collecting rocks and bricks to build myself a house with. :)
Maybe you should collect the metal scraps and make a sculpture.
Do you need a license to do that in England? I would love to do that when I come over to visit. Please let me know. Thank you! Great video.
+Steve Bonds i have one. I doubt 1% of the few people walking on the fireshore do..
My wife and I want to come over to England from USA for our Anniversary and I think I would love to do this. I am also into metal detecting. Do you know how I would or who I would contact to get a license say for a week?
port of London pla.co.uk I think...its #75 for 2-3 years but I think they do 1 day licenses too, but you'll have to check.
Thanks for the information Bill. Hope you find some good stuff.
If there is pipes there you know that Nicola must not have been there yet....
Cool video. Your camera work makes me nauseous though.
I think my technique has improved a little since then.
Can you imagine how interesting the shore might be if nobody took things of interest home but left them for the next person to enjoy,take away the plastic and rubbish but leave the history where it belongs.
Was that a coin between your fingers
Nice vdeo...!
+Mieczyslaw Skowronski thanks
I hawe a tecincal question, in UK, can i keep things like old pipes, etc or is it controlled by law what i can pick up or not? (like where i live)
+Sheep_Ewe you have to report it on the Thames but you can pick up anything. No one want you to report an iron nail though. :)
Chill Bill
Thank you!
I found some Brittish pipes in Sweden in an old ship chanel on an island nereby here some years ago, one of them had a dragonhead on it, i guess it´s ment to be the whale from The Bible. (i also found one part in the earth when i was i kid) i think they all where imported from UK back in time.
Simple all day pices that carrying lot of interesting history.
Cool!
Nice old bricks too
Couldn't finish the video, the wind noise made my ears hurt tremendously.
at 6:39 to the bottom right of the bottle top is that the handle of a pistol?!
+Imogen Burnett could be... its hard to tell..
you have to go back and investigate!
good video bill, but lets face it your no Nicola LOL Diction is good ,but no lilt to your voice like my girlfriend Nicola. You get good finds though. You still have your Gold French 40 franc?
I'm no Nicola.... glad you noticed.
there is a coin right there for you picked up that pipe
yup missed it!
Are you not concerned about the large quantities of sewage water on your hands ?
There is no sewage going into the Thames these days. They have Salmon in the Thames its so clean.
Chill Bill
Enjoyed the video! Saw this article recently www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/mar/22/thames-water-hit-with-record-fine-for-huge-sewage-leaks
NOTHING BUT CRAP TODAY MATE !!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why there are so many pipes. Did the early English through their pipes in the river after they smoked them.
Its a mystery but the favoured theory is they came pre-loaded with Tobacco and were used one-time. Not sure I buy it.
It doesn't sound right to me either. I didn't think we became a throw away society until the modern age
I’d definitely be down there with you in the mud, but I would be (kind of in the back of my mind) concerned about toxicity of the sediments. I understand that the Thames was once so polluted that it was totally anoxic, as recently as 1957. It has rebounded wonderfully, but pollutants persist in the muck.
Nice day out Bill, you ought to get a little rake for hunting out there it will save your back!
I appreciate your enthusiasm and experience. Fascinating finds and observations along the way. Thank you, Bill.
Love the history lessons included in your video
Your wife must love you bringing home broken pieces of blue ware.
DIITTO, LAURENE.............MAKES ME DIZY TOOILL CHECK BACK AGAIN TO SEE IF HE HAS SLOWED DOWN
The evidence of so many generations before you. I've got to travel to the UK some day it very much interests me.
just be carefull of the chavs lol
What Douglas said :D
It ain’t what it used to be
I LIKE TO DO A BIT OF MUD,LARKING I HAVE FOUND COD BOTTLES, W-BISCOMBE GINGER BEERS, A FEW COINS, CLAY PIPES YE OLDE POISON BOTTLES , ANYWAY. FELLOW LARKERS BE CARFULL OF WHEAL"S DISEASE, AND OTHER NASTY"S FROM (RATS PEE ) ANYWAY I HAVEN'T FOUND MUCH GOLD ( 2 EARRINGS ) ( NO MATCH )
Can't watch anymore. Feel so sick the speed you are panning the camera round. That's the first thing you learn when doing moving images!
giant scrapyard magnet attached to a tug hauling a barge, can anyone loan me about 600k haha
please could you slow down the camera when you move it. you found nails but could not see what you were looking at.
Interesting video although your camera work left me dizzy and almost sick to my stomach. Stop moving it around so quickly. Whew!
Nice vid Chill Bill! Creepy to think of the drama there at execution dock. Happy Hunting!
If you keep moving the video back and forth that quick ,i ll get sea sick ,.
Dont move your camera so fast, it's nauseating to the viewer, like motion sickness.
Imagine all the antique coins you missed because they were under a superficial rock and you didn’t bring a metal detector
Great Excursion Bill! It's on my bucket list to go there mudlarking someday. My gr,gr,gr,gr. Grandparents left Allendale, Northumberland England and came to the United States in 1850
Wish we had the history You have in London. Thanks for sharing the adventure. Cheers.
I hate to think what standing in that spot 2-300 years ago would be like. Thugs used to throw their unconscious victims into the Thames, but they usually had time to revive and walk off it before they sank.
+IronheadOfScroteus standing there at low tide you can get a good idea of what it was like, but without the smell which I think would have been pretty strong.
Oh, Geesh! Please pan slowly. I have motion sickness now.
Must you move your camera so fast. I would have enjoyed it more if you hadn't.😐
Why are there so many old pipe stems & bowls there ? I know pipe smoking was much more fashionable in those days, but strange, I've never seen or heard of another place with so many in a given area.
+Texas Turner its a guess because no one can be sure, but:
a) if you snapped the pipe stem too short and they are easy to break, it made for a hot smoke so they pitched the pipe.
b) they were cheap so people treated them carelessly.
c) The Thames had massive traffic so huge amounts of stuff fell in.
d) Pipes are light and bright white so are easy to spot surface finds.
Appreciate but camera darts around too fast, hard to watch
Your camera aim is on your hand more than object pointing at
Man I am enjoying your videos but ffs slow down when moving you camera it makes one dizzy
I would have definitely been reaching In those bars to slowly drag everything out if there's anything good then I bet it's caught up in there with all the stones
This is funny to me because it's a tradition on my mums side every time we go to the beach to look for glass and blue ware. And my grandmother lived just off the Thames. I wonder if she did this too and that's why.
A good video is always a pleasure to watch with great pleasure!
I'm happy for you, my friend. Good luck to you
I hope you see this Bill, I am saving up money to come to England and see you guys in action. I love all of you. Y'all are so much fun to watch.
I think this is where a scene from eastern promises was shot
Wow poop. Thank God they don't any more. Lol
geez bill slow down those pans...i threw up.
I think I would gather all the nails and Iron scrap to sell.yeah buddy
I know it's not up to you but I think it would be better and easier if you didn't just leave the trash and keep looking because if you get rid of it you can see what might be under it. Plus just knowing that the shore is cleaner would be nice to most people. But I'm not judging you to each their own
Not only that but London Burned several times in Black death times and WWII. Lots of London flowed to the river with fire hose and rains. Bless your hobby.
"If you had fallen out of fashion..."
*giggle*
Thanks for the ultra close-ups. Didn't mind we didn't find much. I felt like I was right there.
Always good to see you. Thanks.
ace vidio ,,,,as usual,,,,and a great adventure you had ,,,,,,we found gold and silver this week in a ploughed field,,,,,was an ace day out ,,,i did a gold dance lol see my moves in our vid ,,,,good luck in your hunting we enjoy your adventures ,,,cheers
You move camera way too fast sometimes , although I find your videos interesting
Very young children in the 18th and 19th century did that for money . Same place as you sitting. I thought it was called mud locking but dont quote me. The kids where very poor did that to eat they didnt get much searching the poo Rivers because there where older men searching sewers before it went to the rivers.
Still happens in india
@@ChillBill1 lots more in unknown places one man's trash another's treasure
I was in the very same spot last Saturday. Nice video
Its a great stretch to hunt.
great video, I would love to come to London to do that. We do the same thing here in the Us, although the things we find are ice age bone and Indian artifacts. Check out the Kyle Thiemann channel if you are interested in this. I will be starting a TH-cam channel sometime in the near future that Wii deal with things such as this, as well as things like meteorite hunting in the desert southwest US. I really enjoyed this video!
Bill: oh look a rock probably from the 1700’s....ima keep that lmao
I don’t know any tales of colonists being sent against their will to America. Perhaps Canada or Australia is what you mean?
Condemned convicts were also transported to American plantations.
The state of Georgia was a penal colony originally
If only they would speak English. But very interesting artifacts - wish we had more history here in the US
Use a magnet in those nails and other ferrous items
Trouble is I cant keep them near any of my computing devices....
@@ChillBill1 imagine the finds utilizing magnet fishing. I do understand about the magnets.
Lovely used needle at 10:14 😷😷💉💉
like finding a needle in a haystack
At least you found the pub!
Blueware is chinese,sold everywhere by The Englishes ,could be also a mock made in england ,impossible to confound
He goes around happily collecting trash, brings some to wifey, and shows where people were exiled and offed. WTPh
y don't u use a small hand rake
I’m looking at the rocks, shells and pottery. Lol
I wish there was a place in the states where you could look for old pipe stems and bowls...awesome video Bill....
Excellent video. I think you should hide at least a tiny metal detector in your sleeve. Maybe camouflaged as something else. Or just change the order, go into the pub first and slide down the ladder with the Deus later ;).
+MetalDetecting24 detecting is allowed. Its absolutely OK. You do however need a very small detector head to nip in and out of all the iron.
+Chill Bill - Thank you for the answer. I think you mentioned in your previous videos, that digging is not allowed anymore. I connected it with metal detecting, or maybe misunderstood something. But you are right. It would be a very difficult task. I've been hunting river banks this year and one of my viewers suggested to remove some of the small iron objects with a magnet. This may be a good idea, but I think, in your specific case the nails are not only at the surface, but at every level. Maybe you will find a solution.
You can dig a couple of inches and if you get a special permit you can go deeper. In practice, a detector is a good 3rd eye for finding surface finds.
+Chill Bill you need a licence to detect full stop.
+Chill Bill if you want to dig/scrape on the thames you need a licence from the Port of London authority. Its the standard licence. Without the licence you can only look at the surface by eye.
Three pubs claim to be at the site of Execution Dock. No-one knows exactly where it was.
My 6th great grandfather was sent to America. I need to recheck the court documents to find the name of the judge
5.23 the brick with the h in the centre , as children in belfast growing up we used to melt lead and pure into these bricks making lead bars , as if they where gold bars , the h would have been seen in the bar .
Nice one!
Im with the rest of them... ZOOM OUT and slow down please. Nearly got motion sickness on this one.
Great video
You missed a ring, at 5:35
I agree with the last comment, can you slow down between each find, thanks Bill
Chill Bill just found you from Nicole's channel!♥♥
You are moving around to quick and most of the time its blurry I feel like I have to where a seat belt lol but please so down it is interesting cheers
