- Oh my goodness! This is the first one of these I have ever found! Something made me stop and pick up an odd shaped lump from the muddy Thames foreshore. I knew from the look and feel of it that there was something inside. My suspicions were soon confirmed! This is the first time I have found one of these and when I got it home I put it in a bucket of water to try to preserve it! During this outing I also find a lovely medallion but I cannot for the life of me see what is on it and so perhaps you can help me. There are also a few other things I could do with your help on.
If you would like to try mudlarking you need a permit from the Port of London Authority. Details here:-

Thank you for watching.

See you soon.

Nicola, I have to let you know you gave my mom so much comfort before she passed. She was always so against learning any type of technology, she would say, “there’s nothing on that cockamamie contraption that I need to see!” She was 85 years old when I showed her one of your videos of you finding a pipe, a porcelain doll head and a few buttons and she was fascinated. I gave her my old iPad and she learned to open TH-cam and search your videos. She talked and talked about what you collected and the beautiful scenery you would show. You gave her peace and I can’t thank you enough. ❤
Hi Vic, Thank you for sharing that. Im so very sorry for the loss of your Mum. Im happy that she enjoyed watching the mudlarking and that it gave her pleasure and comfort. When I hear something like that it makes me feel so fortunate to be able to share something I love with people like your Mum. Sending you and her much Love. Nicola xx
I've just been watching videos of my brother. He was the last of my family and he died far too young, 4 years ago (49 years old). A short time before he died he introduced me to Nicola's TH-cam channel and they are now both inextricably connected in my mind, which is how I ended up back here tonight, and how I saw your post. Beautiful people like Nicola make such a difference to this world.
Omg....this made me cry
@@LezMarwick hi Lez, I'm sorry for your loss. Sending much love your way ❤️
Peace be to you.
You are absolutely delightful. I love living vicariously through you.
How can videos based on the thrill of the hunt also be so peaceful and relaxed? That's an excellent trick! Best to you always
Good point!
Kit and Caboodlers videos are relaxing to view as well
So glad you find them relaxing xx
Nicola, I lost my big brother unexpectedly last week 4 days after surgery to amputate his foot. I have had trouble sleeping ever since returning from Georgia for his funeral. Listening to your calming voice on yet another great video actually relaxed me enough that I literally fell asleep typing my comment to you yesterday.
The cannon ball was a great find and I enjoyed seeing the cannons! Loved seeing sweet Grace again! She’s grown into such a stunning young lady!
Much love from DeeAnn 🇺🇸
16:22- Those are the metal bases from Loctal tubes for radios Dates from late 30's through the 1960's. often used in WW2 military radios. I have hundreds of the tubes for restoring old radios. Awesome find on the cannon ball. Very rare item here in the PNW of the U.S. On the cannonball, one can use a product called 'Rust Mort" or similar which will cause the rust to be chemically converted and will stop rust. If you can't find it there, try a panel beaters shop. They use it to stop rust on vehicles. IIRC, weigh the cannon ball. It's weight will indicate the size of cannon. Example: if it weighs 6 lbs. the cannon would have been a 6 pounder. My memory could be faulty on that info though.
Might they be bobbin casings from a sewing machine? Looks like the ones in my machines…
My favorite part of any of your videos is the excitement of watching you extract a pipe bowl. I loved that your beautiful daughter, Grace was in this video. Congratulations on being on the cover of #TheSearcher !
No one can do a pipe extraction like Nicola. I was living in Waco Texas, working as a butcher and met a lovely British lady. She loved the fact that I watched a lovely British lady mud laking 😊
Having your daughter participate in your video was my favorite part. Time doing things with your children, that you both enjoy, is the best time. #thesearcher.
The medal is Catholic. Its called the " Miraculous Medal"- has The Virgin Mary on one side, and the Cross on the obverse, with the M for Mary, below. These are surrounded by stars. It's a medal well known to Catholics. Love your channel! (The words on the medal say, " O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us, who have recourse to Thee.")
Congratulations on being featured as the cover story on Searcher Magazine! Outstanding cannonball find! Silver bullet? Maybe it was used for protection from the Werewolves of London? Maybe the fate of the polish bottle was still in the Mudlarking gods' hands and that it was meant for a new mudlark who sorely wanted to find their first complete bottle. That or maybe it's meant for someone mudlarking in the next century? Treasures come and go but memories are forever. #thesearcher
Was anyone else expecting that ball to explode💣💥
I’m from Wisconsin,USA. We also have some great treasures here. Pre-historic, pre- American Indian etc. but I’ve only seen them in museums. I love going on your adventures of mudlarking on your own or with the other mudlarkers. The history is wonderful, the scenery stupendous, the squeals of delight make me happy. I feel like I’ve been there along with you. Would love to see more of your artwork. Thanks so much for introducing me to the world of mudlarking#thesearcher
Lovely to see the cannons n your daughter.Enjoyed this video.
I know it's not part of the mudlarking, I love all of that anyway, but I did love seeing your daughter feeding the squirrel, and then the bonus one with you at the end. I think they are lovely little creatures. #TheSearcher
As you were the first mudlarking channel I found a few years ago I have learned so much from you about so many different finds, met many others like yourself from your recommendations of channels, and learned that some finds can lead to quite an adventure and occasionally a long lost relative of the owner. Your videos are always a joy to watch, thank you.😊
I really like your editing, especially the intro to your video with scenes of the river and the birds as well as the music you've chosen. It must take a lot of hard work to put even a single video together with the care you obviously put in your content.
Thank you!
Hi Nicola. You and si are my favorite mudlarkers. I get so excited to see your finds. Uk has so much history. It's my dream to come there some day. Til then I'll enjoy mudlarking with you. ❤
The roundels are what appears to be the remains of small iron caster wheels - the holder and spining bearings having corroded away.
What a great video. I am so happy to see the trip to the cannons. More history and enjoyment and so happy to see Grace Thank You so much
Loved seeing how your whole family support you! Excellent camera work by Grace! #TheSearcher
Your video today has already given me a wonderful gift… my splitting headache began to dissipate upon your well wishes. So thank you very much!
I hope it goes completely! ❤️
Wonderful video as always Nicola, beautiful medallion, coin and pipe. Thanks to Grace for the lovely clips with squirrel and the cannon ball. I had so many squirrels fighting over sunflower seeds in my 18inch diameter glass sunflower that they broke it off the stand and shattered it on a brick on the garden edge. I will have to get in touch with my daughter to find out where she got it, my grandson likes to go around the garden and point out the things HE gave me. Thanks Nicola!
It's always a joy to watch you uncover the history along the beautiful Thames! My favorite of the finds this time was the little mystery medallion. #TheSeacher Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. ❤
I enjoyed the chalk drawing of the lady on the mossy wall and the swans swimming in line were so relaxing to watch. #thesearcher
It was lovely to see mum and daughter together ☺️ You are a force of nature, Nicola! Xoxoxo #TheSearcher
Always nice to see Miss Squirrel! And I appreciate all the history of each object. Thank you! #thesearcher
Growing up we lived in the country & roads were gravel & I spent hours digging through dirt & gravel finding Indian beads & arrowheads but ont time I hit pay dirt I found an 1876 dime, still my favorite find. I love your videos can't wait for the next one
What a smashing good time watching you chip away the rust concretion from the cannonball to reveal such a magnificent sphere of history! The squirrel, as well as the interloper visitor squirrel makes me so happy. Thank you for taking us along with your fabulous camerawoman on this lark with you. Always happy to see where you’ll take us next to discover more curiously fabulous finds! #thesearcher
I loved the little small round objects you found. It shows me that I need to keep my eyes keen for tiny treasures. Thank you. #the searcher
I have a gadget, looks like a blunt pen, it's an extendable magnet for fishing things like car keys from drains or small things in tight spaces, might be useful for you when picking up small metal bits ! I use it to fish sewing pins out of the cracks in the parquet floor !
I set aside time every Sunday to watch your latest video. It brings me joy every week. I sit in my little Texas house and see you uncover objects from the past and recognize that I’m unlikely to ever find anything that predates 1830 in my town! My favorite find today was the bottle. If only you had been able to slip a note in before it continued its journey. #thesearcher
Myself and Esme as always loved this video 😊, our favourite part was the part when you went to the old dock yard and showed the canons with your daughter.
Awesome 😊. #thesearcher xxx
That looks like a Miraculous Medal. If I remember my mum's, it think it starts with O Mary conceived without sin... I can't remember the rest. Maybe the find foreshadows that you'll miraculously discover an intact onion bottle or Roman pot soon!
The Miraculous Medal has a cross the the letter “M” on it. Nicola’s has two crosses.
I agree
It is a Miraculous Medal. The reverse has a cross with a horizontal base intertwined in the "M". You have a great eye!
@@woohoo5473 One of "two crosses" is part of an M
Love watching your "journey of discovery!" #THE SEARCHER!
It isn't a mudlark without a pipe! True words Nicola! I loved seeing the pipe restore itself to original. Quite amazing. So exciting to see you in a magazine! #thesearcher ❤️😊
I like that you involved your daughter in your searching. I liked when you cracked open that Cannonball one-handed.
# the searcher.
I think my most favorite part of this video was seeing the cannons and watching you and your family enjoy a trip out together. Congratulations on being on #TheSearcher!
I loved seeing you get to spend some time exploring history with your daughter Grace, it’s so nice to get family time doing something you love. Also that hungry baby crow at the beginning was very cute. #thesearcher
What an altogether enjoyable video, Nicola! It was lovely seeing Grace again after quite some time, in addition to your squirrel friends. I guess it's ok the tide washed the furniture polish bottle away as long as it didn't take you with it! Please stay safe out there......#TheSearcher
Thx steve xx
Loved that piano cleaner bottle and the visit with the canons down the street. That squirrel at the end made me snort laugh!! #thesearcher
Thanks! Mudluring Queen⚘⚘⚘you do amazing videos❤. Hope you have a wonderful week👑👋
Thank you very much. That's so kind of you ❤️
Nicola, I have to thank you. I have really been struggling lately and watching you has significantly helped to calm and quiet my mind, even just for a little while. you have been a beacon of light through my tough time. ❤️
me too
In response to your question, that medal you found is a Miraculous Medal. The writing on it says," O Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to Thee. The two Hearts❤️ on the back are the Sacred & The Immaculate Hearts.
❤HUGS❤
Leannemarie5522 you need a big long HUG from someone special to you. And words of support and love. You may not feel like it too much right now but you have the world by the oysters. Don’t ask me what that means. You will figure it out. You are right though, Nicola knows how to bring peace in my soul.
I enjoy it when you show us parts of the history of your finds, like seeing the cannons. I also enjoy the wildlife you show interspersed in your videos, it's always so lovely, even the cawing of the baby crow, begging for food from its parent. I would love to have one of the copies of the magazine you're in, it would be fun to read. #THE SEARCHER
I loved the lovely pipe. All of your videos amazing. Your daughter is gorgeous as is her mother. Thank you so much. #THESEARCHER
Absolute classic Nicola White mudlark: just you, beautiful wildlife, and the fun of the hunt. Loved it.❤
Thank you xx 😘
# the searcher
Hello I really enjoy when you find pipe bowls. Hearing the excitement in your voice every time you come a pond one makes my day. And that last one you got that was almost 2 foot long, first the thing is just unbelievable that it lasted that long with that tiny thin mouthpiece. I swear you were actually glowing you were so excited. I really enjoy watching you get all excited over pipes.
Thank you
Kathy
I always love your editing and your wonderful historical finds. Born and raised a Texan but 90% of my DNA comes from the British Isles so I always believe the items you find could be from my ancestors. #THESEARCHER
There are many of us Texans with Irish/English/Scottish lineage!
I really enjoyed the cannonball. And the queue of birds in the water! And congratulations on your cover and story in #thesearcher!
Nicola, I always enjoy all your videos. Wish Canada was as old as the U.K. It was so nice to meet your daughter too. Congrats on being on the cover of the Searcher. #thesearcher
Congratulations on being recognized by The Searcher!!!!! My favorite part of the video is watching your joy at whatever you find -- each thing is a treasure on its own. Thank you for another great adventure. #TheSearcher
That bottle was really interesting, sorry that you lost it #THESEARCHER Thank you so much for sharing your finds with us and letting us know more about them!
It's got the be the pipe transformation for me. I love how you nearly always find pipes and seeing them transform over night. Watching from New Zealand :) #thesearcher
Congrats on being on the cover of #thesearcher magazine... I enjoyed when you went on the field trip to the cannons. I wish I lived closer to be able to go mudlarking.... it looks like so much fun!
Congrats on the cannon ball and other treasures. Cool coin too. Take care and thank you for sharing 🙏👍❤️
So much fun Nicola. I just love your adventures :)
Congratulations on the Searcher layout! And I must agree, you are a welcome catharsis is these unsettling times. A gentle reminder that however mucky things may become, the everlasting miracle of nature's surrounds and other marvelous treasures are retrievable with attention... and patience... and a willingness to discover 😊 Thank you, for all you share
Thank you Lisa and yes so true about nature
@@nicolawhitemudlark I look so forward to your river intros
I've been taken mudlarking on the Thames several times this year. It takes some time to get your eye in, and I found my first pipe bowl on my last visit. I love the way you recreate the experience - the anticipation when you spot something and how it reveals itself as you prise it from the mud. #thesearcher
Excellent! I absolutely love your videos, the squirrels too!
Mesmerized by your finds!!
Wishing our Rivers & Lakes had this much History in America 🇺🇸
Love 💘 to see what you find
History is the MOST thing that teaches us... Things Live on...
#thesearcher
CONGRATULATIONS on Searcher Magazine cover Nic. so deserved. Nice meeting your daughter and squirrel 🐿️ in the video too. Be well and stay safe from The Velvet Lounge Life 💜
Our favourite part of the video was seeing more of Nicola’s ever-helpful family, and bringing the finds to life with the sightseeing! #thesearcher
Nicola, as always I enjoyed your video very much. The nature shots are lovely. #thesearcher
Loved that the river reclaimed the bottle, it was obviously important to it. # the Searcher
Your videos are so interesting! Love the treasures you find and hearing your research results. It’s also great you repurpose. The cannon ball was so special, and my imagination has been going wild with different scenarios of how it ended up in the river! Thanks for taking us on your adventures. #thesearcher
Love the bottles,coin and relics. That cannonball takes the cake however Nicola 👋👍
Congratulations on being featured in the magazine! Love your eagle/bird pendant. I have been looking on line for something similar but smaller. My brother passed away unexpectedly last week after having surgery and his hobby was nature photography and he loved taking pictures of birds especially bigger birds in flight so I have been looking for a silver bird charm. Great finds. Sorry you lost the bottle. #thesearcher
The medal looks like a miraculous medal.
#Searcher, Enjoyed all of your & Simon's videos throughout the Covid pandemic. I am still a huge fan. I loved your pipe bowls but am especially attracted to the old coinage found on the Thames. Good luck in your search, Nicola. Bless you. Congrats on Searchers.
Congratulations on getting featured in the magazine. I honestly like all of your digging and your finds. You found 2 identical small items with holes in them I was quite curious what they were you placed them on a rock side by side.
@dan miller slight dusting of snow. Temp is 34°
Loved all the great finds in this video. I'm a real history buff. Amazing that you continue to find pipes. Watching about 1 1/2 years now. #Thesearcher
What a great find that cannon ball was! Very interesting video as always. 👍😊
Thank you ❤️
That's a really cool stopper. You can tell that it was hand blown by the bubbles in the glass. You've found some interesting things. I'll bet some are worth money.
I have always loved your ability to capture birds in their elements. flying, swimming, fishing, bellowing, etc. They are a trademark of your videos to me. You must love them as so many of us do. Thank you Nicola! #TheSearcher
❤
Hello 👋 from New York USA Thank you for Bringing me Along with you I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊
Loved the time-line on the pipe. Thank you! Must say the acrobatic squirrel was very good for a laugh out loud. #thesearcher.
Nicola what a treat to meet your daughter and Mr. Squirrel also. The Thames never disappoints, but this time the bottle was not meant to be kept. If anyone will find it again, it will be you. Thanks for showing us extra history this time and congrats on making the cover of the magazine. You deserve it. #thesearcher
Just found your page a few days ago. Now I'm binging every video I can find. So many beautiful treasures! Can't get enough of your finds. =)
Watching you always, love it when you pull clay pipes from the mud, the excitement and anticipation in your voice makes it so entertaining, and it’s great when you manage to find information linked to your finds in the round up. Please keep those videos coming! #the searcher
Very fascinating finds and hello 😺 kitty...always enjoy your videos.
I love everything that you find and the back stories surrounding it; the squirrel, but perhaps the King George coin is my favorite #TheSearcher
What I enjoyed the most was that it looks like George III have sunglasses after you polished the coin.😎 #THESEARCHER
I really enjoy your channel and all your snippets of info . Thanks so much 🙏
Brilliant being in the SEARCHER Mag!!!!!! I loved seeing the Cannon Ball 🔥🔥 #thesearcher congrats 😎😎🇬🇧🇺🇸
That cannon ball was an awesome find. Well done Nicola! # The Searcher
Cheers! I always enjoy the videos as well , when I worked along the water we would use brass washers stamped to indicate underwater pipes or cables and we would put them on docks . thank you
An enjoyable lark, once again, Nicola! You may find useful the downloadable black and white photo scales that can be laminated and placed under or alongside your finds for scale. There are several sizes that can give a good sense of scale, either while mudlarking in the field or in the studio. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful videos!
I really enjoy seeing the history you dig up over across the pond. #TheSearcher
I love seeing everything you find. The cannon ball definitely makes one wonder where it came from. #thesearcher
Just watching you find the the things you do it awesome , You are " The Searcher" Hello from just outside Halifax , Nova Scotia , Canada !!!
Hello Wayne!
I love all of the interesting information you give with your finds. And the shots of nature, with the birds squeaking in the background. Thanks for taking on these trips with you!
I always enjoy when you find those crazy large British coppers.thanks for sharing. #theseacher
Nice cup of coffee and spending a half hour with you is truly a great way to start off my day off work. 6 days a week till January, ugh. Being Santa’s helper makes the holiday season a little rough. Ty for the moments.
I especially liked it when you found that cannonball ! # the searcher
#TheSearcher I love the story of the Glass bottle, a find from the past. and then minutes later reclaimed by the murky waters of the Thames. It was not yet ready to be displayed with Nicola's other treasures from the past. Lovely show with great explanation.
Those little round things with the stem and all the holes I believe, is a sewing machine bobbin that’s what it looks like to me anyway. I’m loving your shelves, Tonia.
Cannon ball and your ducks in a row... nice day. It's amazing how things are still intact after sloshing around for decades.
I really liked the cool coin the pipe and the ordinary old washer for some reason! #thesearcher, that is very exciting good for you Nicola!
We love your excitement and research, and in this one the excellent shot of the four swans swimming! #searcher #Thesearcher
Love this video my favourite bit was you introducing your daughter, maybe future mudlark, also Hello Kitty she was so cute. #the searcher. ❤️❤️
What a fantastic bottle- I've never seen the piano polish before!
Seeing the mud and crust breaking off of the cannon ball is very satisfying. It leaves a partial perfectly formed encasement. #thesearcher 🤞🤞the searcher gets to be sent to Nova Scotia!!
Great video.. you have two beautiful kids…wow. My favorite is the African carving with the nails in the back that you went back for. It is really cool. I always learn something and you deserve the magazine….Covergirl!
