Hi ! Nicola , I'm way over my " Three Score Years plus Ten " and agree with you . Seeing true beauty is a gift not usually a trait of the extremely wealthy . Love your show . You make me feel happy and calm . Thank you . @@nicolawhitemudlark
Hi, Nicola. Susan here. The other statue on the shield is from Rotterdam, and is called The Destroyed City. It was commissioned in 1950 to commemorate the German bombing of Rotterdam in 1940. It was unveiled in 1953. It is a picture of grief. It is worth an in depth read. Haven't found the 1961 connection yet. (Btw, my mom went to school with Leonard Cohen in Montreal - she said he was quite the ladies man even then!).
The connection is the sporting event held every year between students of Rotterdam and Antwerpen, called "Studenten ontmoeting" (Student Meeting) The pin is a keepsake from the event of 1961. It features both cities most prolific statues.
Hi Nicola! I haven’t written in a long time (years!) but I have been loyal all this time. I am disabled, so watching your show makes me feel like I’ve got a friend. I hope you have no cause to stop for a long time. I love the little ceramic birdies you found in this one. Just gorgeous! Thank you for the time you spend with us.
What an incredible sound the beach makes as the waves pass over the glass and ceramic. It’s like nothing I’ve ever heard. The kind of place a beach comer could loose themselves! Thanks for sharing.
Comfy chair, cup of tea, mudlarking with Nicola. One of my favourite ways to spend relaxing time. I love your videos... like I've said before, it's almost as good as being able to be with you, and as I get more disabled, your videos really help me to cope. Bless you, and thank you again.❤😊
You have added a new song to my Spotify treasure chest, Anthem. It's totally new to me, and I love it. You bring out the beauty hidden in every little piece you find. ❤
How fitting that you found many birds, we always love how you feature the birds of the Thames when you film. The bathing beauty looks like she could match the umbrella that Mudbagger found, she seems to have a hole in her hand for it!
The "1961 Rotterdam Antwerpen" pin is a keepsake pin of a sporting event in that year. Rotterdam and Antwerpen are called the sister cities, and every year students from both cities competed with eachother, sometimes in Rotterdam, sometimes in Antwerp, in all sorts of sports. It was called "Studenten Ontmoeting" (Student Meeting) The first one was held in 1937. The event is discontinued now, but they were held again in 2005 and 2007.
Aard and his whistling and humming is so nice. His melodies coupled with your voice and excitement after your discoveries make me happy. Thank you, Nicola. Thank you Aard!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Your adventures never cease to entertain. I adore the birds, and thank you for emphasizing that things don’t have to be perfect to be valued.
It's always a joy to see you and your mudlarking treasures. Now you have given another treasure to watch..The Mudbagger is a fascinating and wonderful addition to the beautiful UA-cam collection. Thank you for all the positivity and beauty you bring.
Aad's videos are very pleasurable to watch. I'm so glad that you and Si introduced him to us last year!! I'm so surprised that you found 2 pretty ceramic birds there. The 2 little shields and so many other wonderful birds!!
Nicola, I wanted to thank you for the sweet glass fish postcard that came along with my new tideline art shopping bag. Adding to the comments by those of us who can't mulark, your videos give us a chance to experience mudlarking and your fascinating finds. Your oppenness and graciousness encourage us to share. Thanks for both your finds and views of the life on the river. Thanks again and all my best to you!
Well he is a joy. He’s whistling and kind calm nature comes through the video. Your finds were special today. I’ve never seen you find a pipe anything like the one today. It was beautiful. Such intricate detail. ❤
The compact polished up with a lovely design! That beach! God only knows what treasures it hides. It would be such fun to hunt. I also loved the pipe! ❤
Dear Nicola White, you have no idea how much joy you bring me with your videos. I feel like I'm there mudlurking with you. Each little thing you spot on the shore makes my heart beat faster! Thank you so much and keep it up! Greentings from Montevideo, South America.
Yes, and that is what we need to remember in life that the people we like, love, and hold dear to our hearts are not perfect but they are all just the same as beautiful. None of us are perfect and need to see the beautiful qualities in one another. Blessings to all. Cheers. 😊
That brass lion you found, is a Belgian military sign, you get it when you come into the army as a novice and you still have to prove your self worthy. Long long time ago😂 I got mine when there was still conscription, so I had to serve for a year, and the first 3 month you were trained you got that sign on your beret. The nick name for that in dutch was "pisser"
A big and loud SHOUT OUT for Mud bagger . ❤❤❤❤ I have been watching his videos for a long time and really enjoy his SHORTS and his collection. Really enjoyed watching the beautiful video. Wow, the powder container is so cool Two little birds sitting on the tree top ...a song by Nite Cole With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥️
It's 3:00am and I couldn't sleep. I came back to your channel after being away for a bit. Today you have found so many treasures, what a great day and you have a lovely friend, such a good companion for your hunt. Good to see you.
Glad you had a lovely time away with family. You both found some absolutely beautiful treasures as always. Aad is so kind, and he's great to watch as well. Thank you so much Nicola xx Teresa 🇦🇺
Aad is so generous, sharing his finds and his mudlarking locations with you. You both had a good haul that day but when you and Aad collaborate, you usually do! Thanks, as ever, for your interesting and informative vlogs.
A lovely video as always, Nicola - thank you! Really enjoyed watching you and Aard find such wonderful treasures. Especially loved the little birds; so precious beautiful even in their brokenness!!❤❤
Hello Nicola. Since finding your channel I have been trying to watch all your videos. I find all your finds just so interesting and wonderful. It makes me want to go looking for my own treasures. You and every mudlark I’ve seen you with are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us all. Take care from the USA. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I watch Aard all of the time! Love his channel and the content. I love hearing the glass when he walks and the waves crashing onto the glass. I like all of your metal finds, and the birds. You did great while you were with Aard. I’m glad you are safely back home. Have a fantastic week Nicola ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Such wonderful treasures! The pipe is magnificent, as is the beautiful compact! You never cease to surprise me with how trained your eye has become!! You are able to see such treasures that anyone else would just walk on by. I enjoyed another adventure with you and, as always, blessings to you, my friend, and all of those you cherish! ~Jen
What a fun day out mudlarking with your friend Aard. The birds remind me of blue birds of happiness which was a type of jewellery for kids when I was young. Ofcourse there was a pipe and it was fantastic! Thanks Nicola for taking us along to the secret beach. 😊
How exciting, I'd love to go "treasure hunting" there! I live in the south in the US & long ago, people would have an area where they'd toss their "trash"(empty bottles, broken dishes, etc). Before my sister started building her home, she had a part of her land cleared & they found one of those "trash" areas. We had a blast digging for treasures! We even found Civil War items and empty perfume bottles from Paris. The inner archaeologist in me loved every minute! lol
oh you are with mudbagger! That is great and look right off you are finding treasures!! Those are the Bluebirds of happiness and they have come your way!! lol I can't believe how the broken treasures abound there!! Thanks for another very entertaining beach walk
Thank you Nicola. It must be difficult to leave that location with Mudbagger as there are so many amazing finds. I often wonder if mudlarkers walk around all the time looking downwards, always searching for treasure. I find myself doing it even while walking my dog and I have found a few things. However I have seen many beautiful sights that I would have missed like patterns in the footsteps in snow and autumn leaves piled up randomly as if carefully placed. Well I rambled on enough but once again thank you.
Oh I tend to look down a lot! It's a habit. I was looking up a lot recently in Guernsey at night though as I was trying to see some shooting stars! 🌟 ❤
Ive been missing your videos over the last few weeks. Too busy and too tired. But tonite I ive so enjoyed watching you and Mr. Aard mudlarking. The sound of the water making the pebbles and tile bits sing and seeing the small treasures made me happy❤
Bonjour Nicola ! I didn’t watch this video before but was so pleased to do it today... (as always) So interesting to learn about Antwerpen history, love the 2 birds. Thank you so much for taking us with you. Hello from Paris France 😊
Lovely to see you with Aad on his treasure beach. Thank you for the Antwerpen facts, I've been there and didn't know that. I love that song and many more from Leonard Cohen. Have a good time Nicola!
I'm going through some trying times lately, these videos always put a smile on my face. Haven't thought about marbles in a long time, brings me back to playing in the school yard. Thanks, from New England.
Aad is such a friendly and generous person. I found his channel through you initially, and I got to meet him in person this summer on a trip to Europe. In fact, the nice time he gives you fish glass, there will be a red and orange piece in there from me, too. 😁
Hi, i'm from belgium. Congratulations for your explanation of the story of the origin of the name Antwerpen. Very well told, i couldn't have done it better. Keep up the good work. It's always a pleasure to watch your content.
Such a beautiful song about birds & light. You absolutely are a gift to this world. The wise one's say our innocence & wonder is more important than our intelligence & you show us time & again that to be true.❤❤
Hi Nicola. I'm so glad that I discovered your channel today. I was transfixed watching you looking for interesting finds with your friend Ard (I hope I got his name right). Mudlarking is right up my alley. Lucky you! If I were anywhere nearby, I'd be searching the riversides, too, and certainly come to the festival. I found a lovely arrowhead on our gravel driveway when I was 5 years old in the state of New Jersey. Your finds were fabulous, each one a real treasure. Thanks for bringing us along!! Susan in S. California.
What a lovely day with Aad! I also love your addition of the lyrics from 'Anthem' and the special meaning. Recent;y, our family was in Valencia, Spain. Everywhere for sale were these ceramic swallows, or "Golondrinas". We purchased several as gifts. We were told these golondrinas are an important symbol of family, love and fidelity. They exactly resemble the two you found with Aad.
What a great outing with you and Aad. So many fantastic finds.❤ Thanks again for sharing. And yes the 1961 pin, my birthyear😊, has the Rotterdam statue on it. ❤
I've mudlarked without knowing. I'm just amazed that you walk around with the camera and you're finding some things that are so small and you know what they are! Incredible! What kind of place is this that has so many teeny tiny treasures!!??!!
You have to be kidding when you call the cheap broken bird beautiful or stunning.
Only a privileged few (many of the viewers of my videos by the way) are able to see the beauty in broken things.
Hi ! Nicola , I'm way over my " Three Score Years plus Ten " and agree with you . Seeing true beauty is a gift not usually a trait of the extremely wealthy . Love your show . You make me feel happy and calm . Thank you . @@nicolawhitemudlark
Does he know what mudlarking IS?
I think it's beautiful ❤
you have rudeness and ignorance for breakfast every morning, innit ?

“He was quite the woman’s man…,” That put a big smile on my face. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much Susan!
Artist was Ossip Zadkine a Belarus-French artist. So we never forget.
yes made by Zadkine.

What an incredible sound the beach makes as the waves pass over the glass and ceramic. It’s like nothing I’ve ever heard. The kind of place a beach comer could loose themselves! Thanks for sharing.
The water makes music over the glass n ceramics...like tidal chimes.
Glue the bad side of your bird to a mirror and he will look like a complete bird in flight.
That would be interesting - and amusing!
Old Mudbagger is a legend. You two are so good to each other. Makes me smile. His channel is very relaxing too. 😊
Comfy chair, cup of tea, mudlarking with Nicola. One of my favourite ways to spend relaxing time. I love your videos... like I've said before, it's almost as good as being able to be with you, and as I get more disabled, your videos really help me to cope. Bless you, and thank you again.❤😊
Your story @29:50 with the broken birds and Leonard Cohen lyrics... beautiful. Thank you, Nicola.
Sweet!
Yes it was, I will try to remember it.
You have added a new song to my Spotify treasure chest, Anthem. It's totally new to me, and I love it. You bring out the beauty hidden in every little piece you find. ❤
Have you heard the lyrics and seen the video to this song of his? Amazing.
ua-cam.com/video/NGorjBVag0I/v-deo.htmlsi=DXtcreOKJJCAf53A
How fitting that you found many birds, we always love how you feature the birds of the Thames when you film. The bathing beauty looks like she could match the umbrella that Mudbagger found, she seems to have a hole in her hand for it!
I came to look for this comment. My thoughts exactly!👍🏻
Thank you for sharing the Leonard Cohen lyrics and the perfection in brokenness! Brilliant eisode.
Perfect :)

mudbagger seems a nice bloke, and Nicola can see through rocks.
From an American point of view, hearing you say "little bird" is just wonderful. Love the videos.
Aard and his whistling and humming is so nice. His melodies coupled with your voice and excitement after your discoveries make me happy. Thank you, Nicola. Thank you Aard!
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Your adventures never cease to entertain. I adore the birds, and thank you for emphasizing that things don’t have to be perfect to be valued.
My mother often said "perfection is boring".
It's always a joy to see you and your mudlarking treasures. Now you have given another treasure to watch..The Mudbagger is a fascinating and wonderful addition to the beautiful UA-cam collection. Thank you for all the positivity and beauty you bring.
I'm always impressed by how much treasure there's at Mudbaggers' sites! What a feast!
So sweet!
My two favorite mudlarkers together again. What a nice treat.
I've missed you and our weekly adventures. So glad to see you out and about finding new treasures.
My husband missedher for sure😂
The creativity on these clay pipes always amazes me.
Awsome
Aad's videos are very pleasurable to watch. I'm so glad that you and Si introduced him to us last year!!

Well he is a joy. He’s whistling and kind calm nature comes through the video.
Your finds were special today. I’ve never seen you find a pipe anything like the one today. It was beautiful. Such intricate detail. ❤
“A little man and a headless wife!” LOL! Thank you for sharing the quote from Leonard Cohen.

You lucky thing Nicola. The compact is fabulous 👌

If I go to London,where to I go & what tools should I bring? This is so fun!

You mudlarkers are doing a good job in helping to clear up the seashores - dual purpose!
A big and loud SHOUT OUT for Mud bagger .

I have been watching his videos for a long time and really enjoy his SHORTS and his collection.
Really enjoyed watching the beautiful video. Wow, the powder container is so cool

That was a fun lark! Thanks for sharing the story about Antwerp.
After all the years that people have been uncovering little bits of history,you are able to find quite alot every time you go to the shore.
Love the compact you found very pretty design 🎉❤ I am from Mesa, Az very hot this summer 111 these days. This is the first time I have seen you... 😂😊
That's the sort of place you could sit down and loose yourself with whats in reach. Thanks for letting us see what you are doing. 😍
What an enjoyable treat - thanks for sharing Aad's secret beach! Great finds❤
You always find treasures because you are just the nicest person!!!

Great array of unique treasures Nicola,a very special day with your kind and humble friend.❤✌️
Glad you had a lovely time in Guernsey. Sounds like such an idyllic place. I always enjoy your rambles with Aad. Cheers!

Bonjour Nicola ! I didn’t watch this video before but was so pleased to do it today... (as always) So interesting to learn about Antwerpen history, love the 2 birds. Thank you so much for taking us with you. Hello from Paris France 😊
The fun is in the hunt! Once again, Nicola, thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and for doing the research on these items.
Lovely lady that was a great video thank you so much for sharing 😊 💜
Beautiful finds and interesting history story !!! Thank you !!!❤️🦘
Lovely to see you with Aad on his treasure beach. Thank you for the Antwerpen facts, I've been there and didn't know that. I love that song and many more from Leonard Cohen. Have a good time Nicola!
I comment as I watch this time,dear Nicola!
That chunk of uranium glass,it almost glows in the daylight,wow!
Oh, Nicola, that compact was just gorgeous!!! I love when you take us on larking adventures with you!!!❤❤❤
I'm going through some trying times lately, these videos always put a smile on my face. Haven't thought about marbles in a long time, brings me back to playing in the school yard. Thanks, from New England.
So happy this popped up in my feed...what a delightful lady! Made my morning here in WA state..thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Aad is such a friendly and generous person. I found his channel through you initially, and I got to meet him in person this summer on a trip to Europe. In fact, the nice time he gives you fish glass, there will be a red and orange piece in there from me, too. 😁
I love the BATHING BEAUTY! After hearing your bird story, I love them also... 😃 ❤ 😃
Beautiful,thought provoking lyrics that you shared Thank you
Hi, i'm from belgium. Congratulations for your explanation of the story of the origin of the name Antwerpen. Very well told, i couldn't have done it better. Keep up the good work. It's always a pleasure to watch your content.
I love the mudbaggers videos. Very calming. Enjoyed the video nic.
Thanks so much Nicola and Aad, extremely interesting video!
The compacts and the pipe are amazing. Great to see you again with Mud bagger he is so generous.
The birds and the song are wonderful. Great finds! Thank you for sharing. ❤
Such a beautiful song about birds & light.
You absolutely are a gift to this world.
The wise one's say our innocence & wonder is more important than our intelligence & you show us time & again that to be true.❤❤
My favorite find were the birds, lovely. But so many interesting finds on this outing.. 🥰👍👍
Hi Nicola. I'm so glad that I discovered your channel today. I was transfixed watching you looking for interesting finds with your friend Ard (I hope I got his name right).
Mudlarking is right up my alley. Lucky you! If I were anywhere nearby, I'd be searching the riversides, too, and certainly come to the festival.
I found a lovely arrowhead on our gravel driveway when I was 5 years old in the state of New Jersey. Your finds were fabulous, each one a real treasure. Thanks for bringing us along!!
Susan in S. California.
What a lovely day with Aad! I also love your addition of the lyrics from 'Anthem' and the special meaning. Recent;y, our family was in Valencia, Spain. Everywhere for sale were these ceramic swallows, or "Golondrinas". We purchased several as gifts. We were told these golondrinas are an important symbol of family, love and fidelity. They exactly resemble the two you found with Aad.
What a great outing with you and Aad. So many fantastic finds.❤ Thanks again for sharing. And yes the 1961 pin, my birthyear😊, has the Rotterdam statue on it. ❤

“Oh darn. Can’t believe that I _have_ to go to the beach a few extra days.”
I’d like to have this problem. Glad you had a nice time!
Thanks for making my day! Can’t wait to get back home for a visit!
Welcome back! Have missed you! Again, lovely finds! Love the birds and your memory of Lenard C9hen's poem to go with!
