Mudlarking on the River Thames London - Hitler Youth Belt Buckle

- Join me as I mudlark along the River Thames London. This video consists of a variety of mudlarking finds from some recent outings, including one find which I was really not expecting. This find is a Hitler Youth Belt Buckle.
One of the things I love about mudlarking - is that you simply don't know what the Thames is going to throw out next. Each tide is different.
One of the finds on this video shocked me but motivated me to find out as much as I could about it. My research often takes me to places that I had not intended to go! Certainly if I had not found this particular object in the Thames, I would never have learned what I did.
I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for watching.
You need a permit to mudlark on the Thames foreshore. You can find all the information on the website of the Port of London Authority.
When I lark at night I use an Olight headlamp and torch. I highly recommend them. You can find their info here:-

As an American Im incredibly jealous of all of the old artifacts and history just laying around in your rivers. Love the videos and your attitude towards the past, best wishes
The way from clay pipes to a HJ buckle to Hans and Sophie Scholl is quiet a ride. I am from Ulm where the two where born and are still honored as heroes and i am very touched by this video and your work.
Just a little more information you may like to know about your Hitler Youth Buckle. The Hitler Youth came over to Britain on so called "Cycling Tours" just before the war, where they gathered intelligence on towns, cities and installations, they also use to wear uniform on some of these tours so it is quite possible the buckle was lost by one of these "cyclists"
Loved the history lesson. I will show this in my class when I discuss resistance in Germany in WWII. I'm a history teacher in Texas and I really enjoy watching every single video you post. Perhaps someday I will come and mudlark in London. Thank you again Nicola.
Wow! This started with a nice lady digging up clay pipes in the tide zone and ended up a powerful history lesson. Well done Nicola. More of this please.
I really love how loving you are with all of God's creatures. It doesn't matter if it's a tiny crab, a wasp, an elver, or a crow. You treat all of them with love and respect. Thank you.
My mother used to give me and my sister a dose of Virol during the winter months back in the late '50's! It was lovely stuff, sticky and malty!
Interesting progression of childhood. The Irish toy soldier, Hitler Youth buckle, and the McDonald's Happy Meal "Anxiety Toy." We can take this summation in a million directions.
I had never heard of The White Rose Movement until you enlightened us. How moving and heartbreaking. Brave youth resisting the evil of the Nazis. Bless them❤️
Oh, Nicola...you are quite amazing...yeah, you find some cool stuff, but the true joy is in the way your curiosity takes you (and us out here) down the rabbit hole and digs way deeper than the Thames Port Authority allows on the foreshore. I follow some metal-detector guys and they find some interesting things, but there is never the research (or at least not shared in their videos) that goes to the lengths you do. "Treasure" can be way more than a piece of jewelry or gold coin...there is some sort of story with everything you find. Your videos are always a pleasure for many reasons, and this is one of them. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for this romantic ballad, on Thames.. the sound of wawes.. important for me..and great finds..so long,friends.!!👍🇬🇧... 🇫🇷🧚
Brilliant video! I love that you added the story of Hans & Sophie, Scholl. I would have never known their story and her speech resonates with me & what we all, worldwide are going through. Thank you so much!!
I never thought I would find beauty in a bunch of garbage but every since I have been watching your videos I am now seeing beauty in all your finds. It feels kinda strange to me. I also find your videos very relaxing and soothing. I am really impressed with the pottery fragments, little pieces of broken pottery. I never before seen beauty in something so, shall I say broken. I would like to purchase one of your pieces of art made from the colored glass and pottery that you find, if at all possible. Thank you for opening my eyes to a world of beauty that I have missed. I don't even know how to explain this. I have never been into art or anything like it, I started watching these videos thinking I would just see someone finding some cool things but I have found so much more. Thanks
You are so lucky to live in a country with 1000's of years of history and lots of stuff thrown into the rivers and oceans!
My old boss had been in the Hitler Jugend - he could field strip a machine gun blindfold by the time he was 10. It put him off for life, and he came to England and married a Quaker woman! lol
Thank you for sharing, I knew the Hans & Sofie story, but was unexpectedly moved by you, telling it again. Poor, brave young people. If more people could be as brave as they were.
Bread for the crow?......your epic! He surely thanks you on a chilly morning!
I was always extremely fascinated by the stories of the holocaust when I was a teenager (in a large part because of the tragedy that so many people suffered so greatly and that there were still people at the time that I was learning about this history, that tried to claim that it never happened, right down to my own step father sadly) so this story that you shared was so interesting and educating, and honestly heart warming, knowing that no matter what there will always be people to stand up for what is right, no matter the age or consequence. Thank you so much for all the research that you do to help share the stories and history of the things you discover, it's what makes me love your channel so much ❤❤
Do not the advertisers realise that the annoyance of their adverts breaking up good films means that watchers react by not buying their products?
Thank you especially for your beefy roundups with the background and digressions. Lovely to see the items cleaned up and to learn more about them.
