When you picked up the second piece of wood I thought it looked like a raven's head. Just then the crow cawed and you asked if Mr. Crow agreed with you keeping it. LOL. I can see you creating something beautiful with it. Thanks for taking us along on the lark.
I'm a day behind in watching and responding, no thanks to a hurricane which passed over us here in Florida USA. A lovely video, Nicola, with some great pieces of history. I especially appreciate your affirmation at the end of this video and your recognition of Josh and Jordan's engagement. You are incredibly kind and thoughtful, which is why I so enjoy your videos each week.
The knife blades with the squared-off tips are probably sailors' knives - - it was customary to have the tips broken off, either in a vise or on the edge of an anvil, at the time that the sailor first came onboard. The broken tip served two purposes - - if dropped from aloft the knife would be less likely to injure someone, and the broken-off tip also made stabbings during fights less likely.
I so enjoyed this video. As always you do brilliant editing work. The swans movements & fitting music was really lovely too. Thank you for your always kind thoughts & advice. All the best to you & yours!
Just over three years ago I was fortunate to have your channel appear on my TH-cam feed. I believe I have missed none; you have shown me not only wonderful mudlarking finds, but happenings of which I would never be aware. If I may be so bold as to ask of you some coverage of the Totally Thames Festival, there is just no way I can be there. Thank you once again for using your talents in so many ways!
Nic, if I may call you Nic. Your videos are always GREAT! I don’t know what else to say but please keep up the excellent work and “we” will keep watching!
Hi, Wanted to tell you I just received 'MUDLARK'D and it will make a great conversation piece on my coffee table. I haven't had a single moment to really sit down and read it but cant wait. Thank you for the suggestion. Too bad he didn't sign this one but cherish it none the less.
Fabtastic video , you look absolutely stunning as well. Also i love when you have the swans dance in your videos. Someday i hope to see it in person! Cheers Nic! Going to bend some wire now! ❤️
I always enjoy coming along with you on your adventures! Being in the US, we just don’t have the items of great age like Europe! Love seeing the coins and other items that are so old! Speaking of old my hubby and I are celebrating our 50th anniversary this week! ❤️
One of my neighbours is a relative of Percy Shaw and part of the Reflecting Roadstuds family. The story goes that, before WW2, Percy's preferred 'watering hole' was called The Old Dolphin in Queensbury. It was about 3 mile journey from his home in Boothtown, Halifax. One night Percy was attempting to navigate his way home in his car from Queensbury. It's not uncommon for the weather to be exceedingly 'changeable' in Queensbury being one of the highest local communities in West Yorkshire. This particular night it was very foggy. Percy used to try follow any tramlines that were available. On this particular night he was approaching the junction between Queensbury Road and Windy Bank Lane at a place called Catherine Slack. It's here that he reputably saw his car headlights reflecting in the eyes of a cat. I'm told that the idea of using reflective glass set into a metal based in the road had already been patented some years earlier. Percy improved on this idea by making them self cleaning, the glass 'eyes' being installed in a rubberised mounting. However, the family say, Percy's great achievement was over the next few years turning this idea from a concept into a complete industrialised process with a marketable product being massed produced for its customers.
What a fabulous lot of curious and delightful finds from there in the mud! Thank you for taking us all along. It’s always so much fun to tag along with you as you slosh your way through the Thames mud looking for little discoveries. ❤
Hi Nicola. Saw your short on plastic pollution. At the Earthshot presentation in New York with Prince William, one of the people vying for a prize has a project for making water bottles etc out of seaweed. When it is degraded and decomposes, it adds natural nutrients to the environment. There were incredible, creative solutions being proposed. You might enjoy the presentation. Also,you tube has a program on large scale plastic clean-up on rivers before tge plastic reaches tge ocean
Thanks for sharing Nicola I love your videos. I would love to find a clay pipe bowl but unfortunately. there's none to be found there is a old fort but we aren't allowed to hunt the area for artifacts 👍❤️💯
You must be a water sign to love the waters around the world,their stories and treasures.Thank you always for your respectful ways with nature,history your wit and knowledge.Happy 🍁🍂 Autumn
Nicola, I really enjoy your videos and especially the efforts you make to research the history behind it all. I would like to think that all of us get a little more adventure and fun in our lives vicariously through you. I lark scrub/oak root burls. I have discovered that after a lot of peeling and cleaning they all have an amazing shape shifting ability. Our minds will see faces, animals and other things when gazing at all of their 100+ years of trying to stay alive. My TH-cam channel is just about “what’s next” and for the foreseeable future, Root Burls will be a featured clip on most of them.
Hi Nicola, I hope you had a great weekend and the weather was great for you!! I love seeing the swans. I love swans and seeing everything about them. Thank you so much for filming them!! The cricket pipe you found was such a great find. I would’ve done the Highland Fling if I found it!! Now as a tourist, if I didn’t know about having the permit for mud larking, would I be arrested if I was down on the shore just walking looking around and found a pipe and put it in my pocket? I love walking the shores here at our beaches in Vancouver Canada, but I look for shells and sea glass. Thank you for a lovely video and I have to mention that I love the colourful top you had on, it really suits you. Good for you taking a swim every morning, it sounds so great!! Have a great week!!😍😍🥰🥰💖💖
When I was a 19, I worked at a company in the New Forest Hampshire called Wellow Pottery and Block Company, where they were still making clay pipes. I'm almost 64 now. Also, I think it is common to find clay pipes in busy river ports we used to pick them out of the mud in Hythe just across the river Itchen from Southampton . I never really found much else there, as I remember. I would assume because Hythe was little more than a village back in the day. Possibly more could be found in certain areas on the Southampton side. Alas I now live way up north, so won't be looking anytime soon.
Nicola: “Oh my goodness! I see wonderful pipe over there.” Me: “Where? “ Nicola: (zooms in) “Now can you see?” Me: “Where?” Nicola: “See the design?” Me: “Where?” I’d make a lousy mudlarker
Hi, Nicola! Here in Brazil, Saint George is called, by african religion, as the orisa (sounds like orisha in english, I think) Ogun, a god that help people to solve demands. Kisses... love your videos.
Interesting to think that pipes were disposable. Maybe they were sold with tobacco already stuffed inside covered with foil. Just a thought when you said that they are like modern cigarettes.
That's not a standard issue British Coin of any denomination. It looks like a private trade or commemorative token. I've never seen on like it. I am eager to see what your research can tell us about it.
Loved seeing your live stream with Si. This was also another fantastic video. My new thing to do is metal detecting and beachcombing being inspired by you, Si and other metal detectorist you tubers! I love it! Still a beginner and learning but i'm hooked. Thank you Nicola and Si❤
Can’t believe you went to dig with bottle Ned ! Hopefully you got to do some other hunting while you were in the US , lol , he has a “unique” sense of humor,,,
Me ,too, I would love to wear something with your logo on it, or even drink from a Tideline mug! I so look forward to your videos, and am touched by how kind you are to your fellow human beings. You are a wonderful woman!
I love swans, they are the most beautiful birds ever. I like seagulls too, what happened to the gull you found with Simon today? Well my pipe finds are not many, like one with the stem. I will send you a pic, which Email should I send it? I'm counting days to be in London again!
Awesome findings.....the cricket 🏏 pipe is wonderful. Lovely token information 👌. Congratulations to Mr. J ❤ Mr J .Enjoy . especially on Hill station roads , the cats eyes 👀 are seen . We don't find such ckay pipes here in India. But I love to watch n gather knowledge. 😊 Enjoy With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥️
Hello from America Nicola! A short time ago I was busy in my kitchen with the tv tuned into the NBC network in New York. My ears perked up when I heard one of the commentators mention “mud larking”. Next thing I know there you were on my tv screen. It was such a nice surprise to see a familiar face! I hope you enjoyed your time here and had fun being on tv. 😊
Good to see the dog likes his hat. I remember how he first looked. Bringing him home was the best thing you could do for it. What looked aggressive when you found it looks lovely and happy.
Loved the video, wish I could find a clay pipe here in La Coruña, I know they found some near the Hercules Light house, but all the beaches around here are cleaned practically every day, and I find it difficult to find much but I still keep trying, any small find makes my day😊, so grateful for having found all of you mudlarkers, you appeared on my screen just when I needed it most. 😘
Thank you so much for what you do for us! As much as I love the hunt and finds along the river I really love the shots of the birds that you come across. Being a shut in I appreciate seeing the birds.
I love the little hat on the African wooden dog. That dog is still rather creepy in my opinion, and wearing tiny headgear makes him a bit less intimidating. 😀
Thank you so much for our shoutout on your amazing page and the warm wishes regarding our engagement! It means so much to both of us! We absolutely love watching your videos and are so blessed to have love flooding in from around the world! Will keep you posted on wedding details as they unfold! 💙❤️ -Jordan&Josh
@jordandouglas5953 Congratulations to you guys on your engagement. How wonderful of Nicola to share your happy news with all of us. Best of luck to you both!
Ahh... a classic! Just you, the river, wildlife and finds. It was videos like this that were so sustaining during the isolation of the pandemic when a look outside one's own situation was so exciting. I will always be grateful to you for those. Did you know that one of the delights of the close-ups when you find something... is looking all around the find you are spot-lighting to see if you have missed something else? That gives one the sense of participating on the lark. But it is very rare when you miss. Anyhow, thank you. Swimming... hmmm... I'm only a mile from Walden Pond... hmmm...
Just imagine how many clay pipes that are still waiting to be found .. its absolutely mesmerising .. thank you Nicola for another wonderful video with full of history 🥰
Good on you for starting to swim. My husband, dog, and I like to hike trails around our area, Pennsylvania, and discover wildlife and old homesteads. Of coarse our history is very young compared to the Themes.
I loved that you’re asking other Thames pipe people to send pictures of how they stand up their pipes! As for what I celebrated lately, my hubby and I took a car trip in June ‘23, half way across the US to meet the newest member of our family! His name is Edmund, he’ll be two years old this coming January! He is our very first Great Grandson. Need I tell you how precious he is, and clever, and much like a tiny grownup? Best news yet, he’s going to become a Big Brother in the coming year! If I could, I’d be doing a very happy Happy Dance!🎉🎉🎉
Hi Nicola, good finds in this episode, don't know if you are having problems with people leaving comments, this is my third attempt! strange....Anyway love from Norfolk.
The spines on the "cricket pipe-bowl" would seem to mimic the seams on a cricket ball. What an excellent design. Thank you for getting wet and muddy on our behalf.
I was admiring all of your finds, and you brought up the cats eye road reflector. Here in the states we used them for a while, but then they realized the snow plows in the wintertime were ripping them out of the road ways when they had to plow snow off the roads. Maybe that is how the one you found ended up in the Thames river. Stay safe take care.😊
I believe the knife you found is a surgical scalpel, with a #15 blade equivalent to be precise. They are disposable now but it's fascinating to see what they looked like back when disposable didn't used to be so. I'd love to see what the hypodermic syringes and scalpels and old surgical instruments looked like, be they medical or dental (which is my expertise.) How brilliant! I would sure like to know if I'm correct in my assessment. What a fun find. Thanks Nicola. Cheers from Idaho.
Your pipe collection is very impressive. I'd love to see them. I'd also love to see all the other numerous things in your collection. It's not unlike going through a personal museum.
When you picked up the second piece of wood I thought it looked like a raven's head. Just then the crow cawed and you asked if Mr. Crow agreed with you keeping it. LOL. I can see you creating something beautiful with it. Thanks for taking us along on the lark.
Always enjoy the Sunday mornings on the Thames, thank you.
I'm a day behind in watching and responding, no thanks to a hurricane which passed over us here in Florida USA. A lovely video, Nicola, with some great pieces of history.

Yep--- also the broad & broken design was the classic *rope cutter,* and the broke-off end could also serve as a *pry or driver.* Good show ! ~
Hi I am from Oregon. I am sitting watching your show with my mudlarking friend Laura Lattig! Love your show Peace! Janlee Smith
Thank you Janlee and big hello to Laura! Love to you both ❤️ xx
The Thames, the birds and Nicola. Nothing is better then the pleasure of watching this.
Thank you ❤
I so enjoyed this video. As always you do brilliant editing work. The swans movements & fitting music was really lovely too.

wow how interesting! Thank you for sharing this
Another soothing vlog Nicola, thank you!
😮love the music and pictures of the swans and other birds ❤x
What a fabulous lot of curious and delightful finds from there in the mud! Thank you for taking us all along. It’s always so much fun to tag along with you as you slosh your way through the Thames mud looking for little discoveries. ❤
the cricket bat pipe has a pattern on the seam old cricket balls were stitched in same design I think
lovely show thanks
Hi Nicola, always love seeing you and your wonderful videos. Awesome finds and I do love those swans. Thank you, Joyce America ❤️🇺🇸🙏
🙋♀️❤ Enjoy your swims. It's my favorite thing to do!

Awesome video..and you- always so caring and lovely!

Love from Loch Lomondside x
"Cat's eyes" - What an interesting name!
Guy's little wire pipe stand is ingenious. :-)
Just find it totally awesome and amazing you are still finding pipes and pipe stems on the foreshore 👍🏻 💞👊
My favorites, the pipes! Thank you!
always fun to mudlark w/u
Hi Nicola, I hope you had a great weekend and the weather was great for you!!
I love seeing the swans. I love swans and seeing everything about them. Thank you so much for filming them!!

The blade you found reminds me of the blade you would shave with.
Thank you for sharing Guy's design, and theinteresting info on the token

The wooden knot looks like a crows face. You should make Driftwood birds to go with your glass fish.
Congratulations to the happy couple.
Thank you Nicola!!!
Hair color is stunning on you!
What do you do with all the coins you find? Love your vlogs they are so professional xxx
Oh, you put a little hat on the African statue! How perfect!
Good luck to you Nicola, from Istanbul 🙂
Cricket 🏏 the stumps are the 3 upright posts, which support the 2 bales on top collectively known as the wicket.
The crow liked the knot as it looked like a crows head.
You are such a charming communicator
Thank you ❤
That pipe also has one Wicked Cricket Wicket..
That piece of wood you picked up, looked like a bird head...
Nicola: “Oh my goodness! I see wonderful pipe over there.” Me: “Where? “ Nicola: (zooms in) “Now can you see?” Me: “Where?” Nicola: “See the design?” Me: “Where?” I’d make a lousy mudlarker
Hi, Nicola! Here in Brazil, Saint George is called, by african religion, as the orisa (sounds like orisha in english, I think) Ogun, a god that help people to solve demands. Kisses... love your videos.
Thank you ❤
As a bottle digger and researcher, those glass stoppers came from Worcestershire sauce bottles - in South Africa anyway!
I wonder what the mudlarkers of the 1800's found on the Thames foreshore.
Interesting to think that pipes were disposable. Maybe they were sold with tobacco already stuffed inside covered with foil. Just a thought when you said that they are like modern cigarettes.
You found my knife! My initials are HT😂
That's not a standard issue British Coin of any denomination. It looks like a private trade or commemorative token. I've never seen on like it. I am eager to see what your research can tell us about it.
It's a Hanover token celebrating victorias crowning date should be 1838 or 1839...
What, its sleeting there? I read they are predicting a major heat wave! ? Be safe🙂
@ 7:05 it looks like the head of a crow. 😳😊
Je regarde vos vidéos depuis QQ temps je suis étonner par le nombre de pipes retrouvez
Est ce qu'elles étaient jetables😮????
Oui!
Could that knife be a razor?
The knife you found looks a lot like the blade of a straight razor that a barber would use to shave men’s faces.
@Face_Meat
My first thought too. My late husband made his wood-carving knives out of that kind of shaving blades.
Loved seeing your live stream with Si. This was also another fantastic video. My new thing to do is metal detecting and beachcombing being inspired by you, Si and other metal detectorist you tubers! I love it! Still a beginner and learning but i'm hooked. Thank you Nicola and Si❤
Can’t believe you went to dig with bottle Ned ! Hopefully you got to do some other hunting while you were in the US , lol , he has a “unique” sense of humor,,,
Bottle Ned actually had a clean video for a change 👍❤️👏
@@marykaystreasures Lol , yep , he was definitely biting his tongue 🤣
Right!?
ha ha x@@marykaystreasures
Thanks again for sharing your adventures on the foreshore. Much appreciated.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
The knot of wood looks like a birds head with an eye and beak❤
Me ,too, I would love to wear something with your logo on it, or even drink from a Tideline mug! I so look forward to your videos, and am touched by how kind you are to your fellow human beings. You are a wonderful woman!
That's very kind thank you :) xox
Love your enthusiasm and empathy for the personal stories of your finds ❤ You are a special person ❤
I love swans, they are the most beautiful birds ever. I like seagulls too, what happened to the gull you found with Simon today? Well my pipe finds are not many, like one with the stem. I will send you a pic, which Email should I send it? I'm counting days to be in London again!
Hi Pirjo, Simon took Guy the gull to the wildlife centre so we'll know more soon hopefully. Pls send to nicola.white@tidelineart.com
Hugs, nicola xx
Awesome findings.....the cricket 🏏 pipe is wonderful. Lovely token information 👌. Congratulations to Mr. J ❤ Mr J .Enjoy . especially on Hill station roads , the cats eyes 👀 are seen .
We don't find such ckay pipes here in India. But I love to watch n gather knowledge.

Hello from America Nicola! A short time ago I was busy in my kitchen with the tv tuned into the NBC network in New York. My ears perked up when I heard one of the commentators mention “mud larking”. Next thing I know there you were on my tv screen. It was such a nice surprise to see a familiar face! I hope you enjoyed your time here and had fun being on tv. 😊
That's a simple yet brilliant method of displaying pipes! Congratulations Jordan and Josh!!!
Thank you!

Hi Nicola, good finds in this episode, don't know if you are having problems with people leaving comments, this is my third attempt! strange....Anyway love from Norfolk.
I adore Sundays...a double showing of Nic & Simon!!
What a wonderful day on the foreshore, thanks for bringing us along, Nic 💜
hello from Denmark 🌸
Thank you for watcing! xo
Oh have to add , I love the cricket pipes ,

Your pipe collection is very impressive. I'd love to see them. I'd also love to see all the other numerous things in your collection. It's not unlike going through a personal museum.
