Mudlarking the River Medway in Kent
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.พ. 2021
- Join me and David Nolan as we explore an island in the River Medway and find out a little more about the activities that went on there during the 19th century.
This video was filmed in April 2020. This place is very dear to my heart and is a place full of history which I absolutely love. All objects found here will be offered to the Chatham Dockyard museum once the lockdown is over.
Thank you for watching. You can follow me on instagram and twitter @tidelineart and if you would like to buy me a virtual cup of earl grey tea (with lemon) then you can do so at my Kofi account- ko-fi.com/nicolawhitetidelineart - no seriously - all donations will go towards improving my equipment and towards my channel.
Thank you very much for your suggestions, comments and feedback. I appreciate each and every one of you.
I wish you all a wonderful week wherever you are and whenever you read this.
See you soon.
Nicola

There she goes! Pipe find! Am so glad I discovered you, you’ve made the past year a little more bearable, being able to escape for a while, and I know there are still many more I’ve still to see😁.....can’t see a pipe emoji! Those orphans, the monkey looked like road kill
Congratulations on the 100K, that is an amazing and big achievement on TH-cam or anywhere for that matter. Needless to say you are so warm and inviting while you teach us the history of the area on, in and around the Thames, nature and mudlarking. I have cherished every hour I have spent with you. You are not a character on a channel, you have become a precious friend that I strive and thrill to meet with each Sunday. Many prayers for you, health, safety, family and love. God Bless
Thank you! That is so lovely of you xxx
I definitely second that sentiment!💕🙏🏻
You reached 100,000 subs good for you Nicola love your channel
@@darrenbrisson4336 thank you Darren! 😘
@@nicolawhitemudlark you're very welcome Nicola love the art you make when you make us look at the mud I see stuff but you don't get it there's lots of metal I'd like to try magnet fishing just find a magnet off a old speaker and drag it behind you on a string or rope and every once in a while check it to see if you found anything good
100,000 subscribers? That's roughly one per pipe!
Another great video, thank you Nicola. Don’t mind long ones either! 💚 So glad you decided to take monkey with you. I was shouting “don’t leave monkey”! 😀
Oh, I was shouting leave the both of them, too far gone. My surprise on the monkey
ha ha Thanks Katy!! x
@@joannem3568 ha ha Thanks Joanne :) x
@@nicolawhitemudlark hi Nicole, on my bucket list is to come to the UK someday and mud lark the River Thames. 😎🇺🇲🇺🇲
Wonderful video as always. I love your shots of those stairs in the fort. And I'm glad the monkey and duck joined your orphanage!
Congratulations on the 100,000 Subscribers!!! That's a big deal!
Just imagine building that fort. Such planning and engineering. The lighting, the drawbridge counterweight, all the strange shaped rooms. Fascinating!
Oh, and congrats to you ,Nicola, it’s only cos you’re so damned interesting, well-spoken, caring and organised. And everything deserves to be investigated. We are all as eager to find out about it all as you are. Soon you’ll have a quarter of a mill! Well done , girl!
Thank you Yvonne, that's so kind of you xx
Greetings from a BALMY Clay County, Missouri !
CONGRATULATIONS on 100,000 subscribers to one of my FAVOURITE content creators and favourite mudlark !!
TA for letting me tag along ! ATB !! & HH !!! 5 thumbs UP !! i non c \m/
Love that sunny disposition to go with the lovely, sunny day! Another fine video, Nic. I do hope you'll consider a special upload sharing your TH-cam Silver Play award when it arrives. Congratulations!
A lovely video on a lovely sunny day. Thank you Nicola and David.
Another lovely video with pipe finds, nature and history. Thanks Nicola, that is why you have the 100K subs. Have an awesome day.
Thank you Debbie xx
Aww, how cute ! “... water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink “.
Whey Hey, you did it! 100,000 Subscribers! You create fantastic videos with so much information and history detection. Love them. My Sunday afternoon vewing. Thank you Nicola. 😊
Congratulations 🎉👏 on 100k subscribers! Thank you for once again an interesting historical tour. We also have an old fort on the coast of Oregon at the mouth of the Columbia River. There are also a couple across the Columbia in the state of Washington. These are now parks. Stay well, best wishes.
Thank you Karen. Old forts are just so interesting. xx
Good heavens, Nicola! I was riveted by the saga of the monkey: “did she take him home with her?” “What was his fate??” And every time you pondered the wisdom of taking him, my heart leapt! A real nail-biter, lol! 😂
Haha that's funny 😂
Hope we see his "after" photo.
Yes, I worried about leaving a child behind to fend for himself, poor monkey
Nicola, we rescued a dove who flew into a house where there was an estate auction. I heard a scream, I sprang into action when someone
freaked out over a bird flying into a house and landing behind a picture frame. I reached behind the frame and grabbed a baby dove; I held him
throughout the auction and took him home. Today. . . 2 years later, my "Malcolm" is still with me. He comes out of his fancy cage and sits on
the back of my recliner (which is protected) and he sits there while we watch TV. I admit, I overdo it when I kiss and hug him but he doesn't seem
to mind. He sings to us every morning. Just so you know there are those of us who love our wildlife and can make them a part of our human
family. God love you, Nicole, we love our wild little beings as much as you do.
Thank you - and oh your dove sounds adorable! How special. And what a lovely name :) xx
One of the highlights for me is seeing the broken china bits, I can imaging you creating a lovely mosaic. The large flowered blue and white piece is beautiful. Thank you for your videos, Nic. Congratulations on reaching your milestone of 100K, Blessings and love to you!
Thank you - and blessings back at you xx
I came to the comments to see this one. I love the blue and white pottery. It would be beautiful made into a piece of mosaic art.
The jellyfish surprised me. When we think of rivers here in Canada they’re almost always landlocked so freshwater.
Our rivers here, along the Gulf of Mexico, have sharks! Dolphins and stingrays too!
@@justdustino1371 that just boggles the mind of we landlocked landlubbers, lol. The most exotic thing I’ve seen is crayfish 😂
@@cyndicunanan400 Well, you just live inland. I have lived on the coast my whole life. Honestly, I would prefer to live in the mountains!
If I win the lottery or something, I am outta here! 😅🤣😅🤣😆
I lord ve near the beach in Florida- so jellyfish is the LAST thing I expected! I learn something new every time I watch these videos!
@@joypowers563 I remember the Great Pacific Jellyfish Invasion of 2000! Whoa.
Always an adventure to watch your videos with JoJo.my parrot.He loves to see and hear the birds , the music is good too.Little side trip to the fortress was educational. Glad it's warm for you, nice March I hope. Santa Ana winds blowing here, 50-70 mph just rattling windows and tossing the trees around...with the usual howling. Cold too...( I an In Orange county California.)
So lovely! Out of the park with deep beauty again!
Loved seeing that jelly fish and glad the orphans are taken care of
OMG...100,000 followers! Well done! And to think that I knew you when you only had 30,000!
Thank you for your support xx
Congratulations Nicola!!! You've kept me from going absolutely nuts for the last 2 years. Thanks and stay positive!!!!
I grew up in North Kent and have learnt more about it's history from you than I ever did living there. Thank you, your videos are so informative and I love following your finds and the research. Congratulations on reaching such a great number of subscribers. Really glad that you can now get the new camera too. Happy to have helped. :)
Thank you - North Kent is such a lovely place so full of history! As im sure you already know xx
I am so relieved you kept the monkey and the duck! I said to the video "NO! You can't promise to save them and then leave them behind!' LOL. So happy to follow you from the wilds of British Columbia.
David thank you for taking our beloved Nicola to her favorite island .
..love her for sharing her 1st love of mudlarking with us and because of that she teaches us about your country's grand history !
Aw we love listening to you and your mudlarking friends, Nicola !
Thanks Dale. xx much love from London
We who are part of the 100,000 subscribers are by far the lucky ones to have you show us this unusual and wonderful glimpse into your life and your Mudlarking. Your new post always brings me joy even on top of a mountain in Western North Carolina, USA. Be well, be safe, peace, lov ya'.
Thank you xx
Congratulations on 100K Subscribers!
Fine people like you, with such excellent programming make the Lockdown (almost) a pleasure!
Thanks Martin xx
How nice !! From beautiful birds in the water to one gorgeous bird mudlarking !!
What a lovely day you had. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you so much for a few minutes of peace and enjoyment in my life of grief. You keep me sane with your beautiful finds, scenery and wildlife. My husband used to love watching you as well but he passed away from Covid in November . Long may you continue and stay safe Nicola. Bless you.
Hello Ann. Im so glad you enjoy the videos. I am so sorry to hear about your husband. That must be so hard - that is so recent. Sending you much love, Nicola xx
When you said you were going to who island ,I expected you to introduce us to Roger Daltrey.😉😉
Or maybe a couple of old pinball machines?
now that would be fun!!
I wonder if Roger Daltrey 🤔 would like mudlarking?
I hear a good doctor is fromm there....
Congratulations 🥳 Nicola! You did it 100 k subscribers!!! So very happy for you!
A couple of years ago, in the middle of the night, I was looking at metal detecting video's on TH-cam because I thought that was something I might want to try, and lo and behold, I came across a video of you mudlarking. At first, because I am from Michigan in the states, I fell in love with your beautiful accent. You were all alone and it was so peaceful, just you and the sound of the river. You had only, at that time, found a couple things but the excitement in your voice when you would find something new just drew me in. The joy of each find was contagious and it was right then that I knew we'd be friends forever. I have watched every single video with wonder and delight. Thank you for the happiness you have brought to me, and many others. This summer I will be going mudlarking myself...not to London, but here in the states. Maybe I'll find some itty bitty heads (my favorites) and a bottle or two. Take care, my friend, always such fun tagging along with you on your adventures! Til next time, stay safe! ~Jen
Hi Jen. Oh what a lovely comment. Thank you. Im so glad you discovered the videos and the magical world of mudlarking. I am very happy you enjoy them. Sending you much love from London xx
I noticed a Whitaker's of Leeds brick ,or half of one. Another great video Nicola. Look forward to my Sundays .
Loved the jellyfish turning somersaults. And congratulations again on reaching 100,000 subscribers!
My dear Nicola,
Your videos are my Sunday treat. How lovely it would be if you branched off into nature photography. The English countryside is so gorgeous in any weather ❤️
Thank you so much Nicola. So wonderful to see your wonderful finds. And you go out in all weather's, that's how dedicated you are. It's a great escape for me to see your beautiful objects. 🐱🤗
12:48 and in the background as she inspects the plaque. Anyone else see the chubby smiling half face in the background? I know probably isn't one, but it was the first thing I saw.
Poor jellyfish, it has been well chewed upon. Congratulations on your 100,000 milestone. Well deserved recognition
yes, it was a little ragged wasnt it!! x And thank you!!
Nicola, I am excited to receive your videos every week. They are a joy and “pick me up”. As someone with about 80% UK heritage, all about 200 or more years ago, I love, love, love learning about the everyday life of my ancestors. Where they lived, what their lives were like- their dishes and pottery, their pipes, and bottles. You teach and help these people come to life and tell us their stories. You are warm and friendly and brave weather we in the southern and southwestern USA cannot even believe. All this for showing us another site, having experts come in and also share their knowledge, and taking us places we will never be able to go except through your adventures. Many thousands of subscribers consider ourselves a friend of yours. We could easily share a cup of Earl grey or a bottle of beer and feel right at home with you. You have earned your 100,000. May you continue to grow and expand dear friend.
K
Thanks Glenna, that's so lovely of you. Much love, Nicola xx
No garden designer could have done as good a job as nature with those ferns!
I am most amazed about the “New York” brick. That looks like a good story.
Wonderful trip and many treasures. Thank You so much and yes , the sun not only warms the body and mind but also the soul. Takes away the musty and dark days. Stay well.
@33:05 '...I don't want a beard obviously...' A genuine LOL moment. You bring this Aussie girl so much joy. My favorite part of your vids is when you let us spot the treasure for ourselves as you slowly pan in until we can finally see what your trained eye has spotted. Many congrats on your 100,000. It is well deserved. I look forward to saying the same when you reach 200,000
Thank you xx
It was nice to hear from Upwith, the Tideline Art lark. Gentlemen larks often sing loudly to divert the attention of predators away from lady larks and the nest. Baby larks are like Klingons: they only eat food that's moving.
With reference to the end credits: Roger Bacon, of Flight International, used to refer to ultralight pilots as "Temporary Members of Society."
Thanks Matthew xx
Jellyfish are wondrous lifeforms. Nice to see a swimming one instead of one on the beach.
9:32 the square pipestem is typical for a type of tobacco pipe called a 'Bulldog'. It's a straight pipe with a diamond shaped stem.
Congratulations on you 100K. Here in Georgia, USA we are expecting 4 days of rain so I will be looking forward to your next outing even more that usual. Have a great week. Thanks again for sharing you mudlarking with us.
We all live out our own Mudlarking adventures vicariously through you, Congratulations Nicola. Who would guess so many people would be so interested in Mudlarking? I am in San Diego California.
Thank you Lydia. I know! whoever would have thought :) x
Thank you for taking us with you. It's refreshing to see some abandoned architecture that hasn't been spoiled with graffiti! Love the pipes, especially the one with the wear & tear of being used, it must have been truly loved.
Thank you
Hi Nicola ! I live in Medway , not far from the forts , I am a new follower to your mudlarking , and I am hooked !!!! It is fascinating to watch the gems you find with David . The history is amazing . I’m so excited to see what you find on your adventures as you continue xx
Thank you Sally! So glad you enjoy the adventures. The Medway is such a beautiful River!
What a beautiful winery those buildings would make.
The Chatham pipe, looks like a lamb with pennant. Great vid, loved listening to the birds. Thank you.
Congratulations on 100k subscribers!
Congratulations for hitting the 100K milestone. Love your videos!
Aw, really enjoyed that mudlark and the interesting information in the roundup! We too are experiencing some lovely sunny weather up here in Scotland - so nice after this long winter especially with lockdown. Congratulations once again for reaching 100k subscribers - so well deserved! xx
Thank you Gail and Alex. That's so kind of you. Thank you for the shoutout. Hopefully we can meet up soon! Love Nicola xx
Congrats Nicola on 100,000 subscribers! Well done and well earned!
Thank you x
Great video. So glad you kept the monkey and washed him and he’s all safe now on your orphan shelf. Well done Nicola ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t believe how many pipes you find. I’m from Canada and I am just gobsmacked at the amount of stuff laying around on your shores.
Gosh I would so love to live on that island in the fort... and love your orphans rescues : )
You always show Beautiful Wildlife with perfectly matching music and Kind Thanks to You and David for another fort tour, which I always find fascinating! The birds songs are always fine music in the winter but with tomorrow being March 1st, it's a few days less than three weeks until Spring Equnoux! Always have a sacred fire for the Equinox and Solstice and some friends to celebrate the change of seasons. Thanks so Kindly Nicole and another 100,000 soon, it is well deserved! Now with Si Finds and Nic's adventures, my Sunday is now complete! Love, Peace and Joy of Spirit! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
thank you DaveyJo. love from me here in London xx
What a glorious day you and David had. Hold on Nicola (& me) April is less than a month away!! Wishing us all a glorious Spring. So happy to see *both* 🦆and🐒!!
❤Dudley
Thank you! x
Very nice video.I love your orphans.It is a sad commentary about all the trash in our modern world.Thankyou for brightening my day Nickola.Love from Iowa U. S.
The trip to Hoo Fort was so interesting. Your videos are very peace inducing and relaxing. Thanks for taking us along. Oh yes, I'm so glad that you kept the monkey.
You so deserve every single subscriber plus many, many more. You have grown into such a great channel. You manage to make every one of your videos fun and interesting. So with that I wish to thank you for the hard work, giving us the most amazing videos.
Thank you ❤️
These videos are so relaxing and cosy.
I'm so glad you enjoy them! Thank you ❤️
As a doll and stuffed animal restorer, I love that you saved two, especially the monkey. Washed But still damp, if you use a hair blow dryer to fluff them, they drop many years. I tried it on me, but I still look seventy 😏.
Awesome Nic, the eyes on the island look so very sad, I loved the cutty pipe seems more substantial than usual, keep up the great work girl.🇨🇦🐘🍁⚘
Nicola you brighten my every Sunday, Congratulations on your milestone. I just love all the history you wade in every week. Peace!
Thank you John x
You are very lucky, if i lived there i would never be a way from that place, i grew up exploring bottle dumps here in Lancashire as a kid, but we have nothing like this here. real treasure hunters paradise.
As much as I love your commentary your appreciation of the sounds and views of the places and creatures you adventure around adds a level of immersion that sets your videos apart and makes them quite special. Thanks so much for your efforts and congrats on reaching 100k (no surprise to me as the content is absolutely marvelous!)!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your lovely comment xx
Congratulations Nicola on your 100K. You surely deserve it with all your hard work bringing us your amazing finds and the history you give behind them! Love you Mucho Grande!!
😘✌❤
Thank you Anna Marie xx
I've been watching clips about factory workers and the pleasure boat works disaster came to mind that you shared.The impact on the town must have been enormous losing so many people.The ripple effect unbelievable.
So peacefully during this hunt I am surprised that I can't hear noise pollution which is a good thing. Tranquility adds to concentration. Gives me better understanding of your tiny island. The roundup also helps with my understanding.
Congrats on 100k subs -well deserved. Your videos are always wonderful to watch.
Thank you Geoff x
"Beady eye"???? Never! Bright, sparking and wonderful -- but never "beady"!!!!! Can't wait for warmer, sunny weather!!!!
Lovely video Nicola, congratulations on 100k subscribers! I do enjoy your Medway visits as they bring back happy memories of Chatham and Rochester for me. Also the footage of the jellyfish was superb! Many thanks 😊 x
I love the history lesson from David. I'm glad you included it in the video! Cool spot. In an age where everything old and cool is ripped down and new built. Its nice to see some places left alone
It warms my heart you rescued the “orphans” of the Thames🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️
Always!
Great finds Nicola. Looks lovely travelling around the water. You should name each bear you find lol. Congrats on 100k
Good idea! x
Late to watch today. I went on my own beach walk. It wasn't quite a quiet as yours and there were no pipes or forts, but plenty of wildlife and perfect weather as well. I'm glad the monkey survived. He's lucky you found him.
Congratulations on 100,000 viewers. I'm sure that number will only go higher.👍
I like the way u put your items in a picture close up when u find something.
Congratulations on 100K subscribers! I watch both you and Si-finds, as does one of my daughters. A year ago I didn’t know what a mudlarker was, knew nothing about the Thames, and didn’t realize a river had tides! I’m in Nebraska (almost the exact center of the US), and your world is as foreign to me as mine would be to you. Keep on making your videos, and we’ll keep watching!
I think I'd drag home at least 1/2 of all the beautiful pottery and interesting bricks I found. Better bring a wheelbarrow! LOL. A lovely video. Thanks, Nicola.
Well done Nicola 👍🍀💯
I guess people dumped everything in the Thames over the centuries but it makes for interesting artifacts of everyday life back in history! Love to watch you mudlarking and the snippets of history and very interesting like archeology!
Beautiful day! Beautiful company! Beautiful finds! Beautiful celebration for our Beautiful Nicola!! And the monkey survives!!! I can’t pick a favorite find, they’re all really cool.
Take Care. Congratulations again on your well deserved 100K subs ☀️🍀😘🥰🕊🤍
Ya Beauty 👍
Hurray! The Mud Monkey lives! ❤️👏
Congratulations on 100K, it is an important achievement. I enjoy seeing the Thames again after so many years away.
What a beautiful day for mudlarking! I love the way you pick up all the orphans and take them home for a second life. The disco dance was so funny. The building looks like there's less plant life at the moment. Such a great fort! All that sunshine really makes for a positive outlook. Be well!
Thank you
love that you brought the monkey and the duck and didn't leave 'em there. Love your channel. I watch it all the time and I envy ya'lls history over there. I live in the states and we don't have as much history here
Thank you Julie xx
So glad you kept both duck and the monkey.
We had no doubt that you were going to hit 100000 subscribers. We always look forward to your videos
Congrats on the 100thousand subs nic well done you deserve it.
The broken pipe bowl is a Royal Marines one. It has the remains of a globe and royal on it. Very envious too with of the piece of china with the letters RM on it. Congrats on reaching 100,000 subscribers.
Thank you!
Lovely listening to the birds 😊👍 a nice calm day
Wow what an incredible place to explore
Ps. Congrats Nicola. Well done. 🇨🇦🐘⚘🍁
Nicola White and the Raiders of the Lost Pipes! What a great movie that would be! Love your amazing pipe finds today and the lucky toys that will live a happy life in your shelf! 😊❤
Thank you x
Hello Nicola,
I wish i could be there. Its a amazing nature.
Thank you for the film.
