A Very Rare Find of a Lifetime found in the Thames Mud fills me with JOY! - Mudlarking the Thames
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 เม.ย. 2022
- One dark and rainy morning on the Thames in February I found one of my best ever mudlarking finds which filled me with absolute joy!! I had set my alarm to get up for the low tide but the weather was horrendously rainy, cold and wet. I very nearly stayed tucked up in bed. I then got stuck in traffic and almost turned around to go home. Im SO glad I did get up and that I didn't turn around and go home as I would not have found this beautiful treasure!!
Thank you to Alessio (@london-madlark on instagram) for filming the delight. Thank you to Phil (@phillygumbo on instagram) for helping with the ID.
If you would like to try mudlarking on the Thames you do need a permit from the Port of London Authority so you can check out their website for the details:-

Thank you so much everyone for your comments! I plan to answer them as soon as I can. Much love, Nicola xx
We also watched a video where you found a piece of metal and you said it looks like a man shrugging his shoulders ,me and dad think it could be a gentleman's monocle frame.
I love your Raven pendant. Where can I get one? It looks exactly like an image from the internet that I used in a stone carving.
Imagine the drunken person holding that bottle in one hand, with their thumb in the punt, as they drank from it, eventually finishing it, and chucking it into the river.
@@meinkamph5327 Your name alone, creeps me out.
Oh Nichola, I’m so happy for you, well done. You deserve every delicious moment of finding your onion bottle, made my day!
The chances of a glass bottle surviving intact for 30 years in a river is probably fairly low... for a bottle to survive 300 years in one is rather incredible! Brilliant find!
Yes! Exactly. - nicely stated
The river is kind of like a giant rock tumbler, it amazes me that any bottle would survive long.
I’ve just found a part of one today embedded in the hill in Scarborough!!
It wasn’t intact it was broken

If you think about it, for that bottle to be tossed into the river, then buried by the mud over hundreds of years, then the mud receding and washed away enough to be able to see it to be excavated roughly 400 yrs later has to be an absolutely amazing experience!! Congrats, and love ya from California!
yes! such an amazing experience Bob! It really is. I wonder how many more are lingering in the mud waiting to be found. thank you for watching x
@@nicolawhitemudlark Watching archeology shows like Time Team, they always say you have to dig deeper to find more ancient artifacts. Imagine the treasures the river could give up if only you could dig! Onion bottles and pipes galore! 😉
What a truly magnificent find Nicola.
I am a Londoner also, but now live in Hampshire and have been a Metal Detectorist for the past 40 odd years, I have also done the Thames Foreshore a few times also, but when I lived near London. Whether Mudlarking or Detecting the Fields, I still get an enormous thrill out of it and, I have also had some truly amazing finds over the years. I am now retired, but suffer from bad arthritis and struggle to get out and about these days, but I do still try lol.
I love yours and Si's finds and your Videos, so please keep them coming love ❤️
The wood wheel thing is called a 'sheave' and is part of a ships 'block' used on sailing vessels. It is most likely made from 'lignum vitae' which is the hardest of all woods.
Yes.
I found it interesting and a little funny that I, as a horseman in the middle of Montana would immediately know how exciting the onion bottle find was. Without you and Si I wouldn't have known how rare or unique a find it was. An across the pond high five to you on that find! Good to see both the squirrel girl and the squirrel 😊 and as always, the best to you both.
TH-cam sort of pulls us all together sometimes. Hey from Alberta 🇨🇦
@@kerrypitt9789 Heya! 🙂 Nice to see a neighbor from the north here!
Me too!! A fellow American loving Nicola and Si!
@@Montana_horseman i
Agreed. Montana born, Ohio raised, living in S.Korea and enjoying the thrill of the finder more than the find of a distant river in Great Britain... Great stuff~~
I was screaming "No way" "no way" as soon as you pulled that onion bottle out the mud, I was so excited for you. One Amazing Incredible Unbelievable find, just stunning
Me too!!!! I am still still grinning from ear to ear!!!!!!!
ik ben erg blij voor je, wat een geweldige vondst.
je bent een uniek en gezegend mens.
Bedankt.
Amazing incredible unbelivable? Ok relax lady
I really like your presentation style. You’re very professional. When you pick up an object and then you go back into your video and you insert photo of the cleaned object, that’s terrific! And then following up in your studio and telling us more about the objects and showing them clean and giving us a bit of your history and research… Just lovely. #tidelineart
Thank you
I just discovered you today, and I must say I am enjoying your finds very much. I've retired from 40-plus years in law enforcement and moved to one of the premier historical cities in the USA, Charleston, South Carolina. What I most enjoy when watching you, is that you always have an epilog detailing the items and tying them into history. I will enjoy many hours of watching you staring at the mud. Be safe.
Thank you and welcome
You live in a BEAUTIFUL state - lots of good exploring on your beaches too!
I find it absolutely amazing that you can walk down to the river and casually find artifacts that connects you to the history of your country that not only spans decades but centuries.
Here in Canada we have rocks, rocks everywhere, we are one giant rock with a bit of green growing on it.
If you every get tired of finding timeless treasures and want a rock, not just any rock, but a Canadian rock, let me know I'll send you one maybe two - we have a few.
Canada ROCKS!!!
Can you send me a rock?
Swap you for a Michigan rock or a pocket full of sand
Every place has history. Canada has millenia of indigenous history.
@@lazydaisy649 I’ll send you the whole country, shipping is most definitely extra.
Please never apologize for having such joy filling every cubby in your being...
I was in tears of happiness for you... Congrats to you and the need for you to seek treasures and take us with you..
Much love and friendship
#TIDELINEART
Congrats on the onion bottle! Loving what you do! A word on the uranium glass... It may be the remains of a deck prism, used in the 19th C. A hole was notched in the deck and prisms were placed in to allow light to the lower deck. BTW - I'm a contributor to the Treasurenet 'What is it?' forum. We are arguably the finest collection of minds from around the world identifying mystery objects on the internet. You won't find a nicer group, that's for sure. Please join us or post up your unidentifiable bits so we may give you help.
Fascinating that there is a group examining mysterious objects...I love it. Thank you your thoughts on the glass- interesting.
Thank you. I shall do that!
If you know your Elizabethan history, you will recognise that as a 'SPLAT' of purest green, created by that great alchemist Sir Percy Percy in an attempt to bail out his friend Lord Blackadder when he was bankrupted by the Bank of the Black Monks, lol.
That makes a lot of sense! It was bug me. Thanks 🙏
Nicola this has been a week of weeks. You are my favorite mudlarker, you have been for years and every time you go out I am cheering for you. When I saw the base of that bottle I was holding my breath and yelling and turning purple! I am so happy for you and the excitement in your voice was beautiful!
Now I said "Week of Weeks," I follow an Australian Gold Hunter who is a single woman braving the Australian outback hunting for gold with her metal detector. She usually finds a few grams a day and is mobile with no home, just a 4x4 and a tent camp. She is brave like you.
So her last three shows she came upon a good reef find that required a couple of friends to come and jackhammer it out. She found 5.4 ounces! Worth over 23000 AUD! She has a very nice trailer to live in while she mines.
The two women I admire so much have found success in the same week. If anyone deserves a gesture from the universe it is the both of you. Blessings to you!!!❤️❤️
Thank you Kerry! xx
You were the first mud larker I started watching pre -pandemic. I now also watch Si and The Northern Mudlarks and many others. I also got a beginner metal detector for my 74th birthday so thanks for the inspiration. Your were rewarded by the river for searching in the rain. Epic find of the onion bottle.
Other great channels are kit and caboodlers (mom and daughter) as well as Mudpies (dad and daughter).
Yes, I watch those as well. Thanks
Me too. Nicola you helped me get thru the worst of the pandemic.
Is Nicola that old?😁 In the late18th century there were already mudlarks who searched along the Thames in London
To me thinking that those onion bottles have been floating and bobbing and sinking and moving for over 300 years is just mind blowing. If only they could talk eh!
That is a find to truly get excited about! I am always amazed at your eagle eye to spot things. That is clearly years of practice. It is incredible that a bottle can survive centuries to end up in your hands, to then be beautifully captured on our technology and beamed across the globe. You are right, whoever threw that bottle away could never have imagined - your excitement and a global audience. It is magical!
I very much enjoy history and digging for gold and relics, but i must say YOU are the most interesting part of the show...great enthusiasm!
Susan from Shelburne here. The wonderful thing about joy is that it is contagious! I got so excited my whole family came over to watch the extraction! And, as an aside, I get great joy from the sound of raindrops hitting the water, and the sight of the various birds who join you on the foreshore. Thank you for including that in your videos. #Tidelineart
Congratulations! It still amazes me how those bottles can remain intact 300 years later! Especially with all the rocks it was surrounded by. I just cannot comprehend how that thing is still intact!
......which means.... drumrolllllll.....that there are many more to be found
@@elsajones6325 is actually incredibly rare to find them unbroken. This is the first whole one she has ever found and she's been mudlarking a long time. Simon at Si Finds has only ever found one, and he's been mudlarking a very long time as well.
@@micah06v8 I have hope that before too long, there'll be a sizable collection. The picking is tedious and the area of search too massive to get too much done in a hurry. I think I could spend all day in an area four square yards. One pair of eyes and hands can only do so much. ...here I am, in the desert, in 105* heat cheering her along
Designed to fall to the deck of a wooden ship, and hopefully not break.
They don't make them like they used to
Every time I drop by to see what you are doing, it's like spending a little time with an old friend. I'm not sure how you can talk to a camera and get that feel but you do and you do it well.
What a lovely testimonial you wrote for her! Her videos are truly a joy!
In the painting "A Midnight Modern Conversation" attributed to Hogarth, they appear to be using onion bottles.
Wow now that’s your reward for the bad weather and dedication to getting out there and sharing your adventures, so well deserved - shared on my little Facebook page, from Jackie 🤩🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Always, always, ALWAYS…enjoy your vids, and it is a joy being a part of your joy!
I COMPLETELY understand your joy and wonder; I think just like that….who last touched this and I’m the first one to handle it for centuries!
Empathetic cheers….and what’s the chance of you being out there in the challenging weather….at that particular spot and just having such a limited portion of it catching your eye! Blessings!
The bottle had been waiting all that time for you to find. What an incredible discovery and it has my imagination racing as to what the person looked like who tossed it and what was happening in their life that day in time so long ago?
Do you know why I enjoy your channel so much, Nicola? Because it teaches me humility. I'm something of a know-it-all who often likes to show people the error of their ways. Your channel has given me a whole new perspective and knowlege about things I knew prescious little about before. Programmes like the Antiques Road Show feed my ego because I usually get my estimates right, but with your videos it's a hit and miss. Thank you for doing what you do and keeping me on edge!
Thank you! There's so much I don't know. That's the magic of mudlarking ❤️
As a long time follower, one of the most appreciated aspects of being an avid
fan, is when you put a find in its historical context. Fascinating!
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
Nicola, your absolute joy "floated" all the way to me here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Thank you for teaching all of so much each week! #TIDELINEART
I’m in A2 too!
You said rain gear and I heard Reindeer ! I laughed and had to play it back, imagine that mudlarking with Reindeers !
Your "donut" is in fact a "Sheave" from a "Block" used on shipboard. Blocks were used for mechanical advantage in hoisting things like sails, small boats, cargo, etc. Part of a Block and Tackle system. The more sheaves in your block the greater the mechanical advantage.
If you read the Diary of Samuel Pepys mens wigs became popular in the mid 1660's and are well documented in his volumes. In his time wigs were sent out to be cleaned and rolled. It wasn't done at home yet. Pepys is a very valuable resource for history if that era. He knew all the imporent people from Charles II on down!
Being bead collector I have run into Uranium glass beads from the 19th century. They are pretty scarce these days but a few are still out there.
Nicola your excitement was absolutely so palpable that I actually squealed with delight myself when I saw that bottle come out of the mud unbroken. What an amazing find!!!! No one deserves it more than you my friend I’ve yet to meet!! Love from DeeAnn 🇺🇸
My face hurts from constantly smiling at your joy of finding the onion bottle, Nicola🤗 What a great day that was for you.
There's a gold prospector's saying: 'Once on the gold, stay on the gold!' Having been a gold prospector for a good 5 years I know this to be true, so I suggest you keep to this patch of the Thames because great finds can still be found. That wonderful old bottle of 4:34 is a great example, good reason to have GPS on your camera or a hand-held so you can return. Comments help build your channel, too! I'm cheering you on! My very best wishes to you Nicola, ~Wendi UK 🌻
Thank you Wendi!
My my!As an antique bottle collector,this literally made my heart skip a beat! What a beauty!
Thankyou & Cheers!
No exaggeration on the excitement....I share it... What a treat that you bring us along. THANK YOU!!!
Just watching your excitement when you realised that it was a rare onion bottle was very contagiousat least to me.
I would say this was for certain a real Mudlarking memory ,well done Nicola.
Another exciting vlog to welcome Spring, Here's to a fruitful one for you .I so look foward to "Larking with you Nicola.
Take care.
Cheers from me and Canada X
That onion bottle was such a rewarding find for braving the inclement weather. To watch you extracting it and seeing your joy just made this video. Great stuff Nicola. Sue and Ian, Australia
That onion jar was the bees knees Nicola, what a smashing find on a miserable wet cold day. Xxx
Another great vlog to lift our spirits in these strange times. You capture the atmosphere of the cold, wet Thames perfectly in the video. Congrats on the brilliant onion bottle. You deserve it! Thanks for sharing such joy with everyone who can't be down there. #tidelineart
Feather Edge Slipware- I think, it's so long since I have worked with Post Medieval Ceramics. Wonderful, and insightful commentary on your finds. Thank you. Continue your excellent work mudlarking
The best part of this, and all your videos, Nicola, is your excitement at finding the treasures. Your finding of the onion bottle, your excitement, and your joy are contagious. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I look forward to what the Thames washes up for you next time...
Hi 👋
A couple of years ago at an event in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, I came across a mudlarker who had turned a few finds into jewelry. I was transfixed and bought a few pieces. My favorite is a pair of earrings made4 with clay pipe stems. I then did a lot of research on mudlarking. So I am thrilled to find your channel. #tidelineart
Northern mudlarks and Kit and Caboodlers are mother and daughter duos,they are excellent for making things with their finds ,also Tom Burleigh for a gentle river lark(mostly)
Congrats on the Onion bottle! Love the history that you go into with each find, and am super jelly of all of your finds lol. A little tip on the coins, as Ive learned recently. Try and refrain from removing any patina til its dried and then apply slight film of oil to reveal details. Thanks again for the content!!
Seeing your in-the-moment joy at finding that onion bottle made me smile so hard, it almost hurt! I work with children, and it reminded me of when they get excited by learning something new and surprising to them. As we get older, I think many of us lose that kind of capacity for enthusiastic thrill. Keeping it; making a conscious effort to find a way to keep that capacity, can keep us young! #tidelineart.
And Mr Squirrel looked a bit put off by his body double, but curious at the same time.
5:46, "Sorry for the exaggeration..."?????
It is rare today to hear people speak with appreciation, enthusiasm, Joy. Never apologize for Happiness. You bring so much to others. We are grateful to share with you. Never stop.
Thank you ❤️
That cd was the best thing you've probably ever found and the hour delay sign I am very interested it and its not for use in the kitchen. I wish you well and I wish for the well being and safety of the English population, sometimes I worry or at least I started worrying ever since I found this channel. May the mud be soft and easy to dig..
Absolute corker of a find, Nic! Very, very well done. xx
Amazing! I am a bottle hunter in the western United States. We have never found anything like this. The oldest specimen we have come across would be late 1800s. Would love to see these in person. Very nice Nicola. Please do not stop posting. Love your videos.
I live in an old town near the railroad. My house is one of the oldest (1836) in town. A couple guys that have a club asked to dig up old out house areas on my place. Because the railroad was so close they found bottles from up and down the east coast, some REALLY old. Some of those old outhouse pits were 15'-20' deep and were used as trash bins. It is a place to look if you did not know about them.
Oh it's taken me nearly a week to feel up to watching a TH-cam video, and what a delightful joy your upload is - as always! Thanks for lifting a low heart - for the hundredth time! 🥰 Loads of love to you Nicola - what a beautiful and well deserved gift the Thames has presented you with 🍾. Have a fab week xx
I love the newest one. It is rather blobby out of shape and not beautifully blown. That is what makes it the cutest of the two
Such incredible joy and excitement in today's video, Nicola! I must say, your happiness is contagious. Congratulations on the onion bottle and thanks for brightening my day in the process. As ever, thank you for the back stories on your finds and the pleasure your mudlarking brings to so many of us. I feel like that Victorian coin (~02:25)...in that I've seen better days! #tidelineart
I am so glad Alessio was there to be your cameraman. Being able to see your beautiful face alight with excitement filled my week with joy. I'm so pleased for you!!
I enjoyed Your #tidelineart haste & excitement to get home to clean up your precious find the baby Onion/ Mallet, 1720ish bottle & learn more about it.
Nic. I am so proud and elated for you, you are the nicest person on TH-cam, If anyone deserves a complete onion bottle you do.. that is one of my top 10 videos that you’ve posted.. keep up the great finds!!! But save me a few pipe stems.. when I come to see you .. Soon 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Beautiful bottles! Having had childhood experience of glass being blown by hand I can see the early skills developing between the two!
Thank you for yet another journey in your Tardis 😁
What a fantastic picture of Georgian times! I appreciate the time it takes to put something like this historic melange together. Congrats, great find!
You have spread your joy to the USA and the state of Indiana .I have dug many privies " out houses " in search of old bottles & relics . I can't imagine finding the bottle you found . I never understood the tides and would love to learn . So #Tidelineart in hopes to read & study the book . Thank you Nico !
Wouldnt it be so cool to get an aerial map of the shore where you mudlark and plot where you find pipes, mugs, bottles, and other datable stuff on the map? You might even be able to corroborate the finds with historic maps… maybe not… anyway, Im from upstate NY and I love watching your adventures! It looks like so much fun because you have soooo many more historic years in your mud than we do in the states! I am a junk hound, a rock hound , and an adventure hound so living vicariously through you is so much fun! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Wonderful find on that miserable day. You so deserved to find that bottle after your painstaking efforts to piece together the other one ❤️
Félicitations pour cette magnifique trouvaille 😉👍
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. Camille Pissarro
You are as AMAZING as your finds on the Thames Nicola. i absolutely love your presentation style.
Thank you!
Nicole! Such a charming video, thank you. The history lesson was so informative and really rounds out (like an onion bottle) your finds. I very much admire your humble, grateful and gracious demeanor as well. Cheers!
Lovely to see someone take so much joy in discovery of a much coveted object! Well deserved congratulations to you! Wonderful to see your smiling face. Thank you for sharing ❤️
With all the depressing news of late it's so uplifting to see this great find and your bubbly excitement. Cheers from Sydney, Australia.
I believe what you, and others of your ilk, do is so important to future humanity in view of climate change and rising sea levels.
Thank you TH-cam random algorithms! What a delight to find you, I look forward to more . Stay safe and well Nicola ❣️
Thank you and welcome!
Mr squirrel even looked surprised when he saw the onion bottle through the window 🐿 great finds ,cheers Nicola 🍻
I love going along with you on your adventures! You are a woman after my own heart! Here in the states we don’t call it mudlarking! More like beach combing. Whatever you call it I’m always looking down when walking along a river or beach. Your onion bottle find was very exciting I’m so happy for you!
I also LOVE gazing at all the stuff in the background, I assume they are all items gifted to you from the Thames over time. Stay safe out there. I am 71. As a kid I remember my older Pennsylvania relatives saying how, when they stopped their car to rest and walk around in New Mexico, they walked into some land next to the road and found lots of small Native American arrowheads just visible all over the ground. They picked them up and brought them home. What a treasure. I also recall seeing some Civil War bullets in one compartment of my grandfather's roll top desk. He said that in the 1930s he had attended some sort of event in Gettysburg. It rained hard that night. The next morning he walked into a recently plowed field and found those bullets. There are folks in the US who travel around to Civil War sites and just off of the battlefields, which are battlefield parks and can't be excavated in, they will know where the armies camped and will dig up very impressive items, from dropped bullets (never fired), to buttons, canteens, buckles, harness bits, even cannon balls. I would have loved to do that as a younger person since I so love history. Our parents took us to Civil War battlefields during the centennials back in 1965, and I enjoyed going through the visitor centers with their displays of uniforms, swords, guns, and other items. That really makes history come alive for kids and adults. On youtube you can find videos of battlefield interpreters taking groups of people around our US battlefields to help them understand how the armies clashed and where. Great history, great lore. I am sure the Thames holds similar exciting secrets. Finding things like these relics enable you to be a small part of history and to understand it and appreciate it.
I have a Dutch onion bottle that was dredged from a river in Guyana in the 1970s. It's a transitional onion, dating between 1680-1720 and it's in perfect shape. To watch you pull up these earlier onion and mallet bottles out of the mud is making me jealous. Here in the U.S., the 17th and early 18th century bottles are usually found in very small numbers and almost exclusively at archaeological sites, going directly to museums after discovery. Same goes for the white slipware pipes from the 1600s and 1700s. It's a miracle that you pull those out of the mud in excellent condition. The ones with the smaller, acorn-shaped bowls are all 17th century. We only find the Victorian period pipes in dumps here, which are more ornate, but quite common. Keep up the great work!
Simply amazing that those bottles survive, I love it.
I'm so happy for you that you found an intact onion bottle! Great finds today! Much love from Louisiana ❤️❤️
Great fun! I love the tribute at the end. My husband says THI was the name of a company that was involved in tags for fish (to be counted as they passed through the fish ladders here in Washington State). He doesn't know if they did bird bands. And now, the company has sold is is called Innovasea. Not sure if it helps, but it's fun to research stuff!
I love digging for treasures on the river bank at low tide. Years ago when the refuse tips were unregulated my friends and I would go tip raking. I found some fantastic items. One day I found a human skull which I believe came from a hospital or doctor's practice. I took it home and emersed it in bleach, it came up a treat. I wanted to put it in my bedroom but my mother wasn't having it, so I put it in the outside toilet. The problem then was that when I had to use the toilet the skull seemed to watch me and this rather spooked me. The skull was quickly returned to the same tip and can now rest in peace. It didn't stop me tip racking and I found many fantastic finds. Sadly those days are gone as the councils are very strict now.
What a stunning find!!!
Congratulations Nicola!!!!
When you were digging out the Onion bottle I remembered you digging out all the pieces of the first onion bottle and gluing it all together. I was so hoping that you had all the pieces and was thrilled when you showed it whole, you can imagine me watching this video, I was preying that it came out whole and it did. I’m so happy for you 😊🎉 #Tidelineart
Beautiful bottle and what a moment of discovery to capture on camera. I must confess, having watched too many videos by the Mudpies, I shouted "Onion it!" at my laptop screen :-)
Thanks for the visit to your darkened loo . . .
Congratulations on your second Onion bottle find. Is it possible that the bigger wooden pulley with the filled center hole is a Tompion, or cannon plug? They are a wooden plug placed in the muzzle of a cannon to protect the contents from rain and seawater, allowing the cannon to remain loaded when not in use. Just a thought considering there were many cannon and gun sizes. Again congratulations and we enjoy your videos.
Oh my goodness!! Such a incredible find Nicola. Well done & congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
You may remember me. This is David from Minnesota, USA. Congrats on your special find! I didn't know those type of bottles were so rare and valuable. Way to go. The good Lord saved it for you.
When I was a kid I watched Mr Rogers neighborhood here in the States. He was calming and relaxing. You are like the Fred Rogers of Mud Larking. Very calming and a break from the stress of the world.
I’m so happy for your discovery. I especially liked that you created a homey scenario with the bottle, pipe, turtle bone and wig curler. Who knew mud larking could tell such a quaint little story.
Keep doing you ❤️
I do my own version of mudlarking along the St. Lawrence River in Northern New York, and I love to watch your adventures!
Amazing find.
Great OLD big bottle and I especially love the "One Hour Delay" sign.
Nicola, my favorite thing about this video HAS TO BE your excitement over finding your onion bottle! A joyous thrill I have no doubt!! Congratulations!
#Tidelineart
I'm new to this.... I find it so interesting. Love how you show us and give some history afterwards. Thank you! Best wishes from Pennsylvania U.S.A.
I loved the new onion bottle! I especially enjoyed the way you tied all of the Georgian items together and wove a picture of life in that time period. Thank you Nicola! #tidelineart
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
It was a pleasure to share in your "Onion bottle joy". Watching from New Zealand! The history just in the mud covered flotsam and jetson is astounding! #tidelineart
Sometimes there just aren't the words...but nobody deserves it more...thank you for sharing this with us!
Dear Nic, Your gentle kindness, and enthusiasm helps restore one's hope for humanity. It is something the world could use much more of. Also, the way you put your finds into historical perspective is really quite interesting and entertaining. Thank you, and all the best. #Tidelineart
Congratulations on an amazing and beautiful find!! I'm so happy for you!!
I so enjoyed seeing your sheer joy at this amazing find! Thank you for sharing your immense joy in finding that beautiful glass bottle from centuries ago!
Your excitement over the onion bottle was my favorite part of the video. When you pulled it out of the mud and I saw what it was, I squealed and startled my dog! 😄 #tidelineart
A stunning find Nicola, congratulations😀
Absolutely thrilled for you Nic, beautiful find. Good luck x
Nicola…I wanted to know what part of a good find is the most satisfying? The history?, the last person to hold it?, the thrill of the chase? Love the channel and your work, plus you are dare I say it, cute.
I can just imagine Nicola running down the shore with her lovely onion bottle yelling! 😂❤️
I’m excited for you.
What a well deserved find Nicola!!! 💜
So many congratulations! It's a beauty of a find, indeed!
I am learning so much on your channel. I have never hear or seen of an onion bottle. Beautiful! Loved that you were able to find a fellow mudlarks to film you.i work with children and the enthusiasm they have at a great find is a once in a lifetime find kind of feeling every time. Never loose that feeling, Ms Nicola. Keep sharing your beautiful find with us and teaching us about the treasures you find. Hugs
