- During an expedition last year, I was so happy to come across several artefacts in the mud that have been there for thousands of years. The people who made them are long gone but their incredible craftsmanship is here for us to see today. They have been subjected to thousands upon thousands of tides and all the elements - but here they are and as you will see, the detail on them is marvellous. Thank you to to David Nolan for talking about the forts Darnet and Hoo, and to Geoff Watkins for the incredible drone footage.
Thank you for watching.

One day my dumbass brother in law found part of a Roman Centurian bronze helmet on the beach and was mad with joy, telling us that he was going to contact the local museum. When he showed it to me I noticed 'Made in Birmingham' embossed on it ! It was a broken metal float ! He didn't talk to us for two days.
When I was about 9 I used to go fishing at Walton Canal in Wakefield, there was a hole high up in the cut which was a section that was broken through a section of rock, I had a tobacco tin with with bits and pieces of fishing tackle in. Roll on 60 years and my wife and I were picking blackberries, I don't know why but I remembered the hiding place, climbed up put my hand into the hole, and pulled out the tin, the bits, and pieces of fishing tackle was still there, I put them back in the hole for another 60 years.
My wife and I have been geocaching for 12 years (the hobby takes us to so many interesting places we would never have known about otherwise). When we saw the cache, she did some investigative work through the geocaching website and messaged the geocachers (by their cache names listed on the paper log) to let them know. She sent them the link to this video so they can see that they are "famous" now. LOL! We really enjoy watching your videos. So very interesting!!! Thank you, from Connecticut USA!
Please 🙏 don’t leave me ❤❤❤
I see you went down the medieval bestiary rabbit hole as well 😊
I’ve been struggling with my health lately and I watch your videos while I go about my daily tasks. They make me feel like I’m not so alone, I know it sounds stupid but I answer your questions and chat along as if we’re in the same room. And I hope things do turn out fine soon x
On our side of the puddle, your pelican is the state flag of Louisiana.
Hi Nicola. Till recently, it was thought that rabbits were introduced in the UK by the Normans around 1200, for fur and meat. Hence the Romans here would not have seen any rabbits, just hares. However, some now suggest the Romans may have brought in a few bunnies, so who knows? And in any event, I guess the Samian Ware was imported, so that blows my theory! In any event, I don't think you will find Samian Ware with rabbit designs, just hares. Greetings from Medway.
Great finds Nicola, and a lot of history on your adventures with David? What a lovely place to visit ❤️👍
Being from a country that's only a couple hundred years old,,,,,I am ENTIRELY jealous of those that get to walk the Thames every day!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I like how you reveal found items cleaned up immediately after discovering them.
99.9% of your subscribers will never have the pleasure of visiting forts Darnet and Hoo. Thank you for taking us with you! The drone footage WAS incredible; thanks Geoff! Happy Spring is on the way, too! As always, love and hugs from me in New Mexico USA.
The N.E.R. were the "North Eastern Railway" company, who operated between 1854 and 1923. They were eventually merged into the "London and North Eastern Railway" in 1923.
Not much better for Sunday night viewing than virtual Mudlarking with Nicola and friends 😍
Many years ago, in the days before pigeon ring databases, I found a pigeon ring. It was still attached to a very much alive, but traumatised bird. Unfortunately, the said bird had been brought into my house by my cat via the catflap during the day whilst we were out at work and had taken refuge at the back of the cabinet containing a collection of LP records. During it's time hiding there it had left a mess as only pigeons can, as you can imagine.
Oh my word!!! Samian everywhere!!! I would lose my mind… Living in Florida, we never find ancient things like that!! Living vicariously through you!!!
I so much enjoy you taking me along on your outings. It is so pleasant to see the water, wildlife, scenery, and boats, and I don't get any mud on me! LOL. Best of all are the finds and history you share. I found you thanks to COVID shutdown, and have followed faithfully ever since. Some good came along with the bad, and isn't that typical of life?
❤I absolutely love how you always include the lil critters and such! That's just one of the things that makes you so endearing to everyone! Thank you so much for bringing us along on your lovely adventures! Sending so much love and gratitude from East Tennessee 🧡😊!
My wife and I have been geocaching since about 2008. It has taken us to places we would never known existed, otherwise. The cache you found has a 35mm film canister. They were used in the early 2000s far more than now. Many caches are very difficult to figure out but when you do, it's "happy dance" time. Cheers from Sonoma!
You've found your first Geocache. Congratulations 🎊
