- Join me as I search the Thames foreshore for objects that people have lost or left behind. Even a button or a bottle stopper has a story to tell and I love to bring these lost and found objects into the limelight. Im always delighted to receive information about my finds so put a comment in the comments section if you think you know something about any of the items in this video.
You can follow me on twitter and instagram @tidelineart
You do need a permit to search the Thames foreshore in any way. You can find out details of how to apply for one here:-

Thank you for watching.

Amazing that you reunited that luggage tag you found with the WW1 veteran 💜
I always appreciate the extent to which she follows a thread. I’m sure the originators of her efforts appreciate being sought out and remembered.
Well the apple didn't fall far from the tree--I can see where you get your keen interest in the research. Your mother is a delight and I hope we do see more of her.

I swear, watching these pipe extractions never gets old. They're such beautiful objects.
Thanks Lana! x
As a foreigner I do appreciate your perfect diction, I can understand each word clearly because your english is very "pure" and your mother has exactly the same perfect diction. So, many thanks Nicola!
( I have to say that I have some problems with the accent of some your friends.😊)
thank you!
Depends where in the UK you are raised/live, usually determines how you speak and how much regional accent/slang is used in your speech.
Fascinating, particularly when you consider that only a short time mudlarking enables one to uncover such windows into the past! By all means, hire your Mum as a researcher.
If I had met your mom on the street, I would have thought I knew her. You have the same lovely twinkle in your eyes. Honored to meet her! Thanks to you both.
thank you
What a lovely lady your mum is Nicola and doesn’t she sound like you, hope you and your family have a fantastic year xx
thank you
I've heard say, "No one is truly gone as long as someone remembers them". Your passion on the Thames has brought back so many "Forgotten Persons". Best wishes to all in 2020. Tom USA
Thanks Tom
I love the mud Christmas present analogy! I often feel that exact way when I'm working with Amber. You never know what beauty it hides until it's exposed. I knew you were standing next to Frederick Jury's resting spot the moment it showed on screen. That was a great larking adventure and I thank you for both that, and for keeping his memory alive. Loved seeing your Mum!! She did a wonderful job! All the best to you both!
thank you!
Lovely Sunday afternoon treat. I do enjoy the follow-ups, they add so much to the finds. Your mum did a great job as your assistant and I hope we get see and hear more from her in the coming months - lovely lady, hold her close.
Thank you so much! It was a privilege to work alongside Nicola as her Research Assistant and I wait for the next piece of work ...
Thank you! I most certainly will x
This was lovely. Your mother did a great job. Cudos to her!
Thank you so much for letting us share your Mum. Always see n learn so much. I so enjoy just looking and saying “what’s that by your foot “ as if you can hear me . Lol. JB Salem , Oregon.
I LOVE the opening scenic shots from the water. People who've traveled thousands of miles rarely see that view - thank you for it!
Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed this DVD.
I caught that also -- cute!
ha ha, you noticed :)
@@aengusmacnaughton1375 ha ha yes, very cute x
@@nicolawhitemudlark Your mum is very sweet Nicola.
She seems much like my mom. Sharp and clever, can use modern tech, but obviously didn't grow up with all the current technology. I have great respect for our mums, who work hard to get the most out of these new resources!
Good one. Nice to see your mum is helping you out with valuable research. thanks.
Blessings to you and your Mum , it was lovely to meet her !
Amazing how so much is known about these humble pipemakers.
Nicola, the closed captions on your vids always show [applause] for the wave sounds, so next time you mudlark know that the Thames is applauding you all the way!
aha that's funny. Thank you for letting me know. x
Warm greetings from "tiny" New Hampshire, USA. From the perspective of a high school History teacher, I'm fascinated (and appreciative!) for the opportunity to see the world from the perspectives of countless others who came before. Thanks so much for your thoughtful, informative and amazing videos!
Thank you Daniel!
It’s so lovely to see you spending time with your Mum she looks so proud of you priceless
Your mum seems like a joy ... Looking forward to your 2020 adventures ... Love your vids
thank you
Great video, and lovely to have your Mums narrative. Looking forward to your next adventure out into the mud !
Love Sundays it’s Nicola day ..☺️👍
Happy New Year Nicola. Your Mum is so sweet, you look just like her. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
Oh, I would give anything to “unwrap” those Christmas presents! I can only imagine how exciting it is to pull treasures out of the mud. ❤️ Your mom is sweet.
Thank you Nancy x
I haven't joined you in your Mudlarking adventures for about a week and I must say I have missed you. Ii's never mundane even if it's a button and your infectious excitement for every button, bullet and pipe brings a moment of joy. Thank you for taking us along on your Thames adventures.
The pipes are my favorite, followed by the vulcanite stoppers...and then anything with text on it😊. Mudlarking the Thames is on my bucket list. Happy New Year from Michigan ✌🏼😎
I've only just come across this video, six months later. Another terrific half hour of interest and entertainment, thank you. At the time it was made we had no warning of the events which have occurred since. Do hope you and your Mum have kept well.
New Year greetings from the U.S.🎉🎊🍾. Fantastic vlog 👍👏.
Loved having your Mom on, she's a real gem 💎😊.
Your Mother is so pleasing to listen too. And she is a good researcher to uncover all that info.
Lovely. And you are blessed to still have mum so healthy and vibrant. Happy New Year to you both and those you love.
A trip to the Thames with a most enjoyable guide! What splendid way to spend sunday morning!
It is almost unbelievable that such a wealth of historic items are still available, simply for the taking if you have the energy and interest required to seek them. The video was, as usual, well done and completely enjoyable. Thank You Nicola!
Thank you Steve
Such a lovely video, Nicola. You're mother was wonderful. Full of charm and grace and well spoken. I loved to listen to her. Thank you for sharing your time with us. I lost my mom 7 years ago and this just warmed my heart and lifted me up today. 💜💛💙💚💓
Well done Nicole how lovely to have your mother with you I wish my mother was with me but she passed away at 1986 Best wishes from a Londoner
Hi nicola and mum, I'd just like to drop a line or two to say how much I always look forward to uploading a new vlog. I and so many more of your viewers enjoy you taking us on a journey researching pipes buttons and the likes.
I get joy listening to you enthuse about things washed up on the foreshore.
You're a breath of fresh air Nicola.
Your mum, son and all of your family must be so proud of you.
Keep up the good work.
Wishing you and all your family a happy new year, good health, joy, wealth in 2020, and also hope it brings a wealth of new discoveries for you and your delightful mum to research.
Sending you love, joy and hugs a plenty

Yea! What a treat today of a cool new video, but also 2 in 1! Thanks nic! Special thanks to your wonderful mum too. What a sweetheart she is, and interesting to listen to aswell. She
Needs her own channel because I would sign up for it, whatever content she chose.
Thank you Ash! Xx
Oh , your mom is an absolute gem ❤️ she just brings tears to my eyes lol
Buttons and pipe videos are always great fun for me! It’s always exciting to unwrap the muddy pipes!
How nice your mother helping you with your video so sweet! 🐱😍🐺
Your mum is lovely and such help with research. Love how you trace down those who you uncover in the mud
Your mum is delightful! ❤
Ms. Nic, never apologise for finding buttons and pipes, we're just as excited as you are!!
Nicola, I will probably never go mud-larking. but I really love watching your videos. They are so well made and relaxing with that "Never no what you might turn up next factor". I hear youngsters nowadays say there is nothing to do or I'm bored. If its not a computer game or a face book page the majority show little interest in anything else. I was fortunate enough to have parents that bought me up to appreciate the great outdoors and all it has to offer, from nature, history, foraging and so much more. If there is such a thing could the Mudlark community come together and advertise this fantastic hobby to the younger generation? Sorry its an o.a.p. rambling!
Hi Nicola! I am an antique dealer from Massachusetts USA and I find your videos fascinating! Keep up the great work!!!
I like the idea of the Thames being an all year long mud-wrapped Christmas present for you and your Mudlarking friends.
thanks! x
What a lovely bounty of stories, experiences, and memories!
I’m now officially addicted to your channel... As a child my sister and I would mudlark along the banks of the river Tweed, one summer finding so much lead that my father sold it to the battery recycling man at the family garage: Tweedside Motors. We felt quite rich after that. Again to my question: why so much unfired ammunition? Butterfingers?
Thank you! glad you are enjoying. There is a lot of military history to be found in the Thames! im not sure why so much unfired though.
I can tell you that misfiring was a very common incident with any model of older military machinery, from Lee Enfield rifles to shelling equip. once they heated up they often started to misfire
I’ve wondered that very question myself. Thanks for asking.
Amazing....Left England in 1968, we are in Australia now! ...Enjoyed this video very much!..Thankyou Nicola ..
Nicola, I see you had your twin with you. How absolutely darling that your brought your mum in with you. What a wonderful way to start the New Year. Thank you for sharing these precious moments with your mother. We look so forward to your new adventures and finds. Your mud sister, Margaret, God Bless you.
Mums are such great helps, don't you think! Such a great time to spend with family. Hope you have a fantastic year.
As always, what a lovely video. So special to see your mum involved too. An absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you.
At about 1pm today, one of these videos was recommended to me.. 8 hours later and I’m hooked! Very therapeutic.
That's great Chloe! Welcome to the muddy world of mudlarking x
It's amazing that time and time again the river Thames gives up its secrets to you Nicola. Some great finds in this video.
Your mum did a wonderful job with both he research and the presentation!
Your mum is wonderful! What a lady!
Recent subscriber to your channel. Love your vids. What we find in the states is rarely going to be more than 200 years old. I'm in North Carolina, and fortunate enough to live near a river crossing that was used from colonial times up to the early 20th century. So far my finds have been horseshoes and musket balls. lol
great finds though! My friend Simon found a saxon horseshoe last year! x
Your Mom is lovely. And thank you both for the well wishes for 2020. May you also have a marvelous and blessed 2020
thank you!
The most fun is the research and finding a connection ,luv it
You brought Mr. Jury back to life, his spirit must be overjoyed! Thank you for another beautiful video Nicola. We can see though your mother where you get your love for history.
Thank you Chris
Nicola, you Mom is as Beautiful as you are.The he look upon your face as she spoke was the look of a small child listening to her Mother reading a Book of Fairy Tales.
Full of Fascination, Wonder, and Love. ❤😍
Another Very Good Video, keep up the Good Work!
May the New Year bring you both many new Adventures!
I can’t tell you how much I look forward to each and every one of your videos. Your finds are amazing and your enthusiasm and research make them even more incredible. Thank you!!!!!!
You’ve been upstaged by your mum - what an excellent researcher! Love the pipes, lenses, and tag!
Well your mom is just delightful! Her research and presentation was thorough and enjoyable, thank you!
Oh no, not another p.....Oh ! it's a whole batsman in action and his stumps ( or is it wicket ) .... a whole load of lovely little objects ...as well as bringing Fred and the independent pipe makers of Plumstead back to life for us .....wonderful !
Thank you!
Your Mum is lovely! 😊Thank you so much for the wonderful video and for all the research that is done! It's so great that you show the history & take the time to share it with us! ...take really good care!
It's far for a boring finding trip... most of us can't get enough of the pipe unwrapping PLUS I love the wooden frame and the little dish and the snake
Was nice to meet your mother and I am glad you had great holidays. All your videos are little happy breaks for me xoxo
I love mudlarking vicariously thru you. Thank you.
Oh Nicola, what a beautiful Mum you have. You are so like her in many ways, she's just gorgeus like you. Xx Now every time l see those great little buttons, l can see myself sewing a cream ladies blouse/shirt in a modern design and placing the better buttons, all polished and sprayed on this blouse, (to prevent tarnishing). Wouldn't that be something just great, perhaps buttons from the textile industry or the like and another type of metal button encased in 9ct gold for a pendant. Anyway, hope you had a lovely Christmas with Mum (Anita) last year. Love and kisses to you both and thanks so, so much for the video. Xx
Thank you Janice x
Your mum is lovely, thank you for having her come aboard for this video, she's a treasure.
That was sooo interesting! Thank you for sharing Nicola and your mum.
Fascinating information on the Pipe maker. Some lovely Christmas presents wrapped in mud! It was great to see your mom involved in research.
Thanks for sharing and happy Mudlarking! ~ Gypsy
Thank you, another wonderful video of you. I‘m fascinated by the interesting things you can find on the banks of the Thames and always particularly pleased when you find these fascinating pipes. Your joy at every find is contagious💫👍☘️🤩
Happy New Year to you and your Mum. Wishing you a new year filled with joy luck an happiness
NIcola, Happy New Year to you and your Mum.
Your videos are such an uplift to me and this one, the first of the new year, is excellent.
As I approach my 8th decade of life, I never cease to enjoy these moments which ,
in their small way,encompass all our lives past and present.
I think of Jon Donnes, "No Man is an Island , entire of itself"
If not physically ,at least mentally with the help of people like you, I can still marvel at the
complexity and simplicity of our existences.
Cheers,
Frederick "Rik" Spector
Thanks Rik. You've put that into words very nicely and Im delighted that you enjoy the videos. x
Nothing wrong with a 'Pipey-buttony video' . Its all fascinating and thought provoking . Love it all :-)
Nicola never apologize for finding the things you love!
Thank you!
I started watching a few days ago and have since devoured a bunch of episodes. I find them intensely interesting . Just wanted to let you know that you've reached the frozen wastes of Edmonton, Canada with your delightful program.
Cheers.
Thank you Richard!
You are an absolute joy to watch and listen to Nicola, makes my Sunday.🇨🇦🐘
Thanks Marion!
Love seeing u and ur mom together. Thanks for the thorough history. I enjoy it!!
I get more excited over the clay pipes than anything else extremely valuable! Not sure why!
Join the club! Me too 😁
I adore your videos! Just found you a couple of days ago and am hooked. I'm sending you good vibes to find a complete onion jar from Texas! I was there in 2012 and had a marvelous time. Good hunting in 2020
Thank you Kathy! x
I do not know why I was suggested this video by TH-cam today, but I can’t stop watching! This is amazing!! Is it really that easy to find things at low tide? Heck, I would very happily give up a day on a trip to London, just to do this! This is so cool!
Very interesting, it has to be a good feeling to have history come to life through an object that both you and the historical person have held in your hand.
yes it is George. Thank you!
You had a lot of cool stuff. I like the Prince of Wales pipe.
I also loved the Christmas theme with the snowflakes & angels. 🦋
Thank you for the follow up on the tag that belonged to Frederick Jury. How interesting that you have discovered where he is buried. Your mum is sweet. As always it is wonderful to spend part of my Sunday with you mudlarking.
Thank you James x
You are so like your mother 💁🏻♀️ (a compliment)
Excellent research by mum and yourself.
I would love to be finding the awesome little treasures and their stories.
Thank you both 🤗🇦🇺
I LOVE all your buttons and pipes and pottery bits, but I love to think of the history and people connected to them. The Frederick Jury video is one of my favourites along with the historic re-enactment of the trial that your daughter did. HAPPY 2020, dear Nicola and Anita! :-)
Thank you! I'll see if I can persuade Grace to do some more acting 😘
Oh! Yes! I think you should start an annual tradition amongst your fellow mudlarks of getting together & exchanging gifts of items you’ve found. Everybody bring a find it a sealed container of mud!
How wonderful to see your Mum Nicola!! She's sweet and reminds me of my Mum, who passed a few years ago!
They say the Apple 🍎 doesn’t fall far from the tree 🌳. It’s nice to share time with your mum. You two are very similar. All the best forshore 😁🇦🇺
Love watching your videos, each is such a treat. Thank you so much for giving renewed life to treasures of the past. You have a gift for telling their stories. To be sure the greatest treasure in this video is your mother. How I long for mine. ❤️
I don't know anyone else would be so excited by a gift wrapped in mud. They are so very interesting even to me here in the USA.
You can never have too many white clay tobacco pipes! Your Mum did any excellent job - definitely hire her full time. Happy New Year
My favorite mud-wrapped Christmas present has to be Nicola White out on the foreshore and Mum Anita by her side during the wrap-up. Thanks once more for a thoroughly interesting adventure. So looking forward to what 2020 will bring!
Thanks Steve! You're a star!
Only came across your videos recently, slowly going through them from the start (after watching many of your recent ones first), I love all the history behind the items you find - well done Mum! - I'm from the UK but now live in Cyprus. If only we all knew what 2020 had in store for us! Right on to the next video.....thanks for sharing your larking with us all xx
Your mother is delightful! ❤️
Brilliant stuff, the story behind things is fantastic. Good research Anita! I'd love all my presents wrapped up in Thames mud! Still working on getting my permit and up to London (health permitting) I even have a printer's letterpress tray ready for finds! Always inspired by you Nic. Happy finding for 2020. 😊
Thank you Alex. That's great that you have a letterpress waiting! x
Great pieces of social history being unearthed by you. Wonderful stuff. It does,as you rightly say,bring these people back to life.
Nicola, another wonderful Video and the bonus of meeting and listening to your lovely mother. Happy New Year
Thank you Dean!
