  • Join me as I mudlark along the River Thames in London searching for pieces of London's history washed out by the tide.
    Please note that you need a permit to mudlark on the River Thames. You can find out all of relevant information on the Port of London Authority website
    www.pla.co.uk/Environment/Tha...
    you can follow me on twitter and instagram

    thank you for watching.

      Hi Nicola I am an Italian subscriber and I was wondering if it is possible for a tourist to mudlark in the uk, I know you've recently had some regulation change regarding mudlarking but I cannot find a very solid answer

      @@MrSwosh89 Hi you need to get a Foreshore Permit from The Port of London Authority. The permit is for 3 years. This current cycle started in January 2019 and ends in December 2021. It costs £80. You can also apply for a day permit which costs £35. However you need to pre-order at least 6 weeks in advance just to be safe. Here is the link: www.pla.co.uk/Environment/Thames-foreshore-access-including-metal-detecting-searching-and-digging. Happy Larking!

    I was talking to my parents about how i'd been watching your mudlarking finds. Especially the clay pipes . Only to find out that my late granddad was, for a short time, a member of the Royal Antediluvian Order Of Buffaloes. I would never have known that had i not stumbled across your channel. So thank you for the entertainment and the little piece of history linked to my own .

    I think that the copper nail was used to fasten copper sheeting onto the hulls of wooden ships. The copper prevented barnacles from growing on the hull, and discouraged worms. It might be very old.

Today was the first day that I watched any of your videos and I was pleasantly surprised. I WANT MORE!!! Here in the USA, we really don’t find treasures like what you find because we are a young country, I’m certain I will be watching your videos as quickly as you load them.

    The shell fuse is the part that screws into the bottom of the shell and contains the primer. Many times they were packed separately. Has the makers mark, mfg date of 1937, and the code / part number. Maybe from an anti aircraft shell. The pistol cartridge is nice, I believe from the webley .455 service pistol. And, by the way, I love all the pipe finds.
