Mudlarking with Nicola White - FIVE VERY OLD FACES FOUND IN THE MUD. WHAT ARE THEY?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Join me for a mudlark along the River Thames in London and see some of the objects which I found prior to the UK Lockdown. In this video I come across at least 5 very old faces which have been lost in the Thames mud for a very long time. The oldest has probably been face down in the mud for over 150 years. Can you see which other faces I find during this outing?!
During this video I mention a couple of websites:-
One is www.dawnmist.org and it is run by Heather Coleman. It is full of great info all about clay pipes.
Also I mention Germander Speedwell's site - and Germander has compiled a database featuring her fabulous pipe finds. Germanderspeedwell.org.uk
Thank you for watching.
Follow me on twitter and instagram for more finds @tidelineart
Take care and see you soon.

Sometimes I feel as if I'm stalking you. I'm an old man living alone on my boat and your generous spirit, joyful personality and English charm has captivated me. Thank you. Sending love.
love back to you! x

@@caliaslongson5097 C'mon, dirty old men need love too : )
@@MCASDI Indubitably, but you did not strike me as being a dirty old man only one that loves her English charm.
I Love following you in your nature walks. You make the articles you find come alive. You are so kind when you speak of finding something that was of purpose at one time and now you are enjoying it.
Thanks Anne
Nicola, thank you for saving the little kitten and giving her a proper little home. Sending you love and best wishes from the United States.
Thanks for taking us on your Lark! Your closeup pictures show so much great detail! Take care, Nicola🕊️✨✨
That knife was a vicious find 😯
Thanks, Nicola! Love all your finds and all your bird friends!! 💕💕
I always love the music, and how you share all your thoughts and the animal buddies all about you. Thx for bringing ALL of us along with you. It is so amazing all the things you find. Good eye! Stay well! God bless.
Thank you for this beautiful video.. I can't walk by myself...I need a walker... But you takes me always with you .. I am very thankful for this... 🌿☺️
Still in lockdown and so, so appreciate your wonderful videos. Thank you
Thank you - bon courage x
👏👏👏 I must tell you how much I appreciate the time and care you take in the video presentation aspect of your work. Very well done 👏👏👏 from Portland Oregon USA 🌲🇺🇸
Thank you so much for another wonderful video , the pipes as always are delightful but I have to say the pink piece of pottery with the little boy was my favourite this time ! Cheers Nicola
Thank you Nicola. You are truly an amazing lady. I so enjoy your adventures. Love from USA, South Carolina.
A real Sunday night treat. Thank you - cheered me up.
Good! mission accomplished then!
Thank you for continuing to brighten my weekend!!! 😘
So glad you're enjoying! x
Thanks Nicola, all battened down in Melbourne, Vic. Always good to wake up to your videos, (now I must have Breakky).
Great job !! Thanks again for the smiles via your plundering in the Thames 🌞🌈😷💫🤩🦉, stay safe and beautiful; keep smiling
It's good to see you again on the video nice day. Nice pipe and stay blessed.
Another great video 🤗 Thank you for sharing with us with.
I can't get over how great your eye sight is, you see things I can't see and I have 20/20 vision! That watch, badge and Lion tile was a great find. Don't forget spinach for the Swan, they love it and it's safe to feed 😋
I love the pottery. The birds and flowers at the end were sweet. Stay well.
Loved the knife! Looks collectible! Thanks Nic, you make a difference. Take care
Thank you. so do you x
Greetings from Melbourne Australia Nicola. Really enjoying your videos, can't wait to see what you find next
So nice to see your videos. That knife is a collector piece and gorgeous.
I just love watching your videos but I thought I had an eye for finding stuff my boy used to say I walk with one eye on the ground nut you seem to have a gift for seeing stuff that I can't even see mostly when you zoom in on find Keep up the fascinating work .
Thank you so much for your videos. I have learned a lot too, while I vicariously enjoy trudging through the mud with you, knowing there's sure to be a new clay pipe and treasure just under the next rock or clump of mud. It will be good when you can get back out on the river again and see what's happened since you've been inside.
Lots of love to you from PA, USA. Love watching your videos.
Thanks for the Video I watch them all after my night shift , sending love from Dorset , Hope you can get back out there soon , stay safe x
Great video, Nicola, you have a great week also. Love from Prince Edward Island Canada, be safe as well to you and your family.
Nicola, thank you so much for another wonderful mudlarking adventure! Sending love from the USA. Kelly/Indiana
Lovely little kitty addition for the Thames Toys Orphanage! x
Thank you for the video, can’t wait til you get to go out and hunt again.
Lots of love right back at you from the coast of Massachusetts, USA! It's lovely to loose myself on the foreshore of the Thames for a little while with Nicola once again. 🌞🕊️🦀🐦🦆🐈🐒
Isn't it amazing the artistic effort that went into those throw-away pipes!
Dear, how wonderful that you take us all with you to discover the areas around you! Enjoy the spring, seeing forward to follow you on the foreshore again soon.
I counted 7 faces; a watch face, Queen Victoria' face, a Turksh pipe face,a Lion's face, a little person's face on the red and white porcelain, Queen Elizabeth's face, and a kitten's face :)
3:22...A telephone face? 😉
yes I missed some didnt I!
The face of a hungry swan, lol.
...and a robin's face.
Enjoyed the video immensely, take care too and be safe!😃
Thank you Nicola for another fascinating mudlarking film and your keeping us entertained while we stay at home.
Thank you very much for posting this vid, mudlarking must be a lovely peaceful way to relax. I am so grateful for your vids.
I hope we all can stay safe and stay healthy! 💕
Thank you Catalina. love to you from London x
Thank you again Nicola. This is nice to watch and informative. Takes my mind off of the troubles of today.
Video interesting as it always is,
A Nicola video.....all is well in the world for half an hour . Thank you x
just seeing a vid uploaded from you makes me happy.
Thanks Antonia! x
The background music is always so beautiful 💜💜💜
Fantastic finds Nicola. Amazing 💧💦💧💦💧💦💧💦💧💦💧💦❤️
I love the pipes, coins, pottery, relics - but I've come to truly admire your rescue of dirty, maimed, plush animal orphans. It reveals how tender hearted you are! Giving them a second life seems to thrill you as much as finding a gemstone ring 💍!
Thanks Linda. :) x
Hi Nic,
I believe that is a telephone dial, very lovely find ❤
In these strange times we are having it's always nice to watch a video from you mudlarks. You and Simon always share a video each week even though your in lockdown and it's always awesome 😊.
So thank you
Deb
The trims button back is the retaining piece for buttons with matching fabric to the garment. The fabric is held in place with teeth around the perimeter and the back pushed on to hold it in place. The loop to sew the button on is part of the front piece. Think I still have some in my button box dating from 1970/80. Best wishes from North Wales 🏴
Thank you so much☮️🇨🇦
I had to laugh at the first comment, all of us enjoy your wonderful videos. Love 💘 from Michigan USA.
Thank you sweetheart for rescuing the pretty kitty. You did exactly what I would in the circumstances!!
I’m not sure what I’d rather do - dig about on the foreshore or poke around your studio. Equally fascinating. Thanks for continuing to help us through our quarantine. ❤️
Well done Nicola . You should get a special dispensation to go mudlarking in these times ; keeping the front line troops entertained. Very essential worker ....
A much anticipated and enjoyed video, Nicola. Looking forward to next week's fascinating discoveries, Stay safe, stay healthy. Hugs from Canada.
I daydream about having mudventures with you!
In the meantime,I write tiny Nicola stories,I hope you enjoy them,I write them with love and admiration!
🥰
Hello & THANKS for another interesting video.
BTW: The first item you found is not a "tiny buckle".
It's an "adjusting tab" from a hold-up strap of a 1950s or 1960s garter-belt//suspender-belt for "stockings".
Kind regards, Ben
You always have very interesting and well produced videos. It's clear you love what you do!
Beautiful as ever x oh I wish you had your own TV series xx
Thanks Sue!
Hope you don’t mind. Ran across a spiritual uplifting thread on a sleep music video where there were hundreds of people who were in dire states and in need of a little lift. I sent them your way because you always lift my spirits. I hope they all find your channel and get their spirits lifted every Sunday
Just found mudlarking videos myself, and it is just soooo relaxing!!! 😃
Thank you Im glad you find it relaxing. I find mudlarking very relaxing and so hopefully that comes across through the videos xx
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art it is relaxing but what I was referring to was the spiritual uplifting aspect of watching your videos. Can’t really quantify it but I always feel uplifted after watching them. I think maybe you are just a good person and it just sorta comes across...
@@rollonbc Thank you. That is a lovely thing to say and I really appreciate it. I needed to hear that this evening
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art Oh, it does!! Thank you for making them. They are magical! 😃
Always look forward to your wonderful treasure hunts. Thanks. Looks like a Royal Navel beret badge.
Thanks Nicola, lovely video as usual. Nice to see the two Brent Geese with the Swans.
You are the sweetest thank you
You take care sending the love right around to you. You always cheer up my day. Thanks much.
Thank you for sharing another adventure
Nice finds!
Wishing you, family and friends the best during these odd times. God Bless 🙂
Nice start Nicola bit of music and birds, I love wild birds so I love these shots you do. I think it was a dial from a phone but since it was metal it may have been military or maybe a stick telephone or copy of one, another object for your collages maybe? You collection of pipes is growing exponentially, ( good word for a Sunday!!!) Lets hope this damn virus goes away, so that you can get back to doing what you love Mudlarking, see you on the next one.
Thank you John!
Hi Nicola, beautiful full moon. The bird flying out of the hole in the wall was unexpected. Very cool shot. That knife looked expensive and a possible antique. Perhaps a hunters knife from the man of the manor house from long ago. My imagination is running wild. I love history and I love your videos. Thank you, carry on. Joyce from U.S.A.🇺🇸🙋♀️. ARROW *🎱
Nice video, Nicola. Perfect timing for you catching the pigeon coming out of the hole!
ha ha thanks. It took a bit of standing around :) x
I hope you and yours are faring well in London. Give my best to all.
Poor baby wants food Awwww so sweet 👍👍
Loved this Nicola 😀 Wonderful to see the foreshore, even if it’s just on a video. I’m a newbie but really miss it and keep having dreams where I’m unearthing huge pipes and all sorts of other treasures! 😄 I’m sure you can’t wait to get back down there when things are safe again. Interesting finds, the dial surely must be from a telephone...🤔 xx
thank you for your amazing videos, regards jakob
Love the videos, seeing the swans, birds and what you find. To steal a line of another great finder of stuff: Do ya see it ? Have a great summer and find some more goodies(
Very soothing
All the dolls look so happy to have been rescued by you Nicola! I love the turk pipe. We're allowed to walk on the beach etc now. Hopefully you can get back to it soon.😊💗
Thank you! xo
Thanks For Sending These Brilliant Video's
You Help Keep Us Sane During These Troubled Times. Hugs From Nottingham XXX
Thanks Roger! x
@@nicolawhitemudlark 😊😊😊😊😊😊
The brass item could possibly be a key hole cover.
🇬🇧 Copper disk could be off one of the old stand up phones which had a hook up hearing piece.
Stay well!🤗
My Love right back at ya!
thank you
Lovely finds Nicola love the blue lion , glad you save the soft toys too, what happened to that stunning knife you found ? Thanks again for making lockdown a pleasure on sundays xx
That was nice. No stripes!?😁Bet the swans miss you too💧 great finds, love the childs cup. God bless from Michigan ✨🧡
Spanky O. Also from Michigan!! Grand Blanc to be exact!
Another Michigander over here on the west coast.
Nicola i'd be keeping all coins in a jar...then take them to charity box...just a thought....
Loved all your little faces...😃...
Lovely finds Nicola. I bet you can't wait till you have sand and rocks beneath your feet and mud oozing through your fingers. Much love to you Nicola, take care and stay safe.
Earl says he really likes the cat and wants to find his own one in the Thames :)
Hi from us once again! Some normality in a frightening time watching you. I think that disc with trims on could possibly be to trim a circular wick on a oil lamp. Looking forward to your next video. Take great care Brenda and Mike xx.
I can't begin understand why you can't mudlark. Being out in the fresh air, getting some sunlight if you're lucky is very good for one's health, and it's very easy to keep your distance there. Restrictions are not that severe in Germany. While you can't mudlark, could you show us more of your art? I always enjoy it.
Waw, a nice shot of the pigeon from the tube.
But you also know the swan too well.
Certainly true, here in the Netherlands too, weapons, safes and so on are dumped in the water.
Still a sweet hug after washing.
About that knife, it looks to be dressed in silver and being a costly knife otherwise, it'd be worth having it back to resell or to scrap the silver. In most of the US if you turn in a thing and the owner isn't found one can claim it after a waiting period. Provided it's a legal item, of course. That knife is money.
Same in the UK I once handed in £4.00 then got it back after 3 months
I had kept the knife,but maybe that,s a man thing
Gerbrand Riekert Nope, I keep all knifes I find , unless the owner ask me if I have found the lost item, for most folks at the lake knows if you lost something ask Mz pat.
Thank u Nicola! What u bring to us is very enjoyable. Cant wait til all this virus stuff goes away so we can get back to "normal" or make a new one! Blessings to u and keep safe
Thanks Leah x
Brass badge is a Victorian Royal Navy Petty Officers Cap Badge 👍😊
Lovely video! When you said cap badge I thought you said CAT badge so I was desperately trying to work out the cat shape 🤦♀️ I like the lions!
I had to watch this in 2 parts because of internet, so I didn’t see the kitten’s transformation until just now! The robin singing at the end of the video was beautiful.
I wonder if the day will come, when not one more thing will fit in that Studio.
In a video released last week, Nicola says she has another room.
Hi Nicola, greetings from shielded in Portsmouth the “Trims” is one of those buttons that you put fabric over the front and press it into the back that you have there. They are still in manufacture I believe.
Alternate answer - They are used as a backing disc on the opposite side of a piece of cloth. The loop on the button goes through a small hole in the garment and then through the disc. You then put a P clip or split pin through the loop to hold it on. Used on overalls that are frequently washed. Buttons are taken off first.
ah thank you for that info!
Amazing finds.
Just love the potter shards etc. wouldn't it it be amazing if both the lion masks came from the same dish but it certainly looks that way thanks for a great video
Circular brass item could be a peephole cover. A neighbor had one very like this years ago.
I have a true story about the ship half penny. When I was 7-8 I went to The Salvation Army Sunday school, every year at September we had to save ship halfpenny,s , could only save them. So when the time came to hand them in in our boxes, the Sunday school teacher said that they were going overseas for the poor, that's why they had to be ship halfpenny,s. You can share this story if you like too. Had a great time with you again, stay safe love from corby. Jules UK.
Thank you Jules. I absolutely love that story! And I believe I will share it! Precious. Thank you x
Hope you're able to get back to larking soon! Love the Turk's head pipes.
me tooooo Charlie! I hope. Im missing it! x
That was an excellent video presentation..Much love and hugs back at ya..
"Any idea" on when you'll be allowed back on the River Thames? ....fresh air is good for the soul~!
