- Join me as I finally get to go out with the Hovercraft History Hunters (@hovercrafthistoryhunters on instagram) and the British Hovercraft company (@britishhovercraft on instagram) - and go hovering over mud and water, searching for history with some of the friendliest and best mud buddies I know, including muddy buddy @Si-finds Thames Mudlark
Im so happy to have been on this outing with @Si-finds Thames Mudlark (henceforth to be known as Simonus LuckintheMudicus) as he finds one of his best ever mudlarking finds.
Thanks to Benn of British Hovercraft Company for risking his life and letting me have a go at driving! And big thanks to Rob, who chauffered me around the mud all day long whilst I muddied up his hovercraft. You can find out more about the British Hovercraft Company on www.britishhovercraft.com and on insta @britishhovercraft
And thanks Kev and Jack for the great company.

Thank you for watching.
Nicola
I have to admit tears came to my eyes when Simon extracted that Roman pot. It's so beautiful well done Simon.❤🇮🇪
Me too, nice one Simon it’s stunning
i gasped when I saw the neck!
Finding that pot in tact was incredible
I’m so happy for Simonous! He was due. It took my breath away! I would have went yelling up and down the beach! Si is so humble! I think he was just stunned!!!
You just know the Time Teamers would be SO JEALOUS! 😉
The Queen in her floating chariot skims across the water and mud to awesome adventures!!!!
ha ha yes, it was rather awesome xx
And the 70s Love Boat kind of music is the perfect soundtrack. :)
Hovercrafts look like so much fun...
Simon's face when he realizes it's a whole Roman pot...Fantastic...Buried treasure...Great video, Nicola.....
Thank you! Yes, he deserved to find such a fabulous pot - our Simonus
Was the best watching him place his hands around it as he pulled it out. Stunning find ❤️
Astonishing perfection🤗😍
Simonius Larkius!
Fantastic find - two seperate Roman pots within meters ( I presume) from each other; what are the chances after 2000 years. They must be priceless.
I just got laid off from my 6 years job today, I’ve been crying and having a panic attack for 4 hours and this video couldn’t come at a better time to give me something else to think about.
I hope you find something new soon, onwards and upwards. Prayers and love sent
I am so sorry stay safe and healthy know your loved it will come right
Been there. It's quite overwhelming to seek work, as one must. Don't forget that the best position for you might take two steps to reach. The temporary position will teach something you need to know for the next, better step. Good luck!!
Im so sorry to hear that. I hope you feel a lot better soon. Sending you oodles of love. xxx
Sorry you're having a tough time. Your health is the most important thing. Look after your mental health before anything else. I hope things get better soon.
Oh, Nicola! I am so jealous! LOL What a trip. I so enjoyed your adventure, and with a Roman pot thrown in for good measure! Take care, and keep having fun! Love & Hugs from Nova Scotia!
I don't think I have ever had so much fun watching a video before! Nicola and Simon together are the best and put that with the excitement of the Hovercraft History Hunters - what could be better? You piloted that hovercraft like a pro and you definitely were Simon's good luck charm for sure! Some nice finds yourself and of course the Queen of Pipes couldn't come away without some great pipe fragments as well. Such fun and so interesting - really enjoyed it!
Thanks Robin!
Oh Si that beautiful full intact bottle. What a dream. Nic you are truly dedicated to your art. Sinking, never to be seen again, the rescue board, near at hand. But, Oh! turn over another item to look , even though your muddy doom calls.
ha ha yes Martha, when you put it like that :)
Wow! What a fun time on the Thames!!! Thanks sooo much for letting us tag along, loved your brick! Congratulations to Simon! Hope you get to go again soon 😄
There was nothing better than watching you drive the hovercraft! Your face had the nervous excitement of a child on Christmas morning! Loved it.
Ha ha thank you! It was so exciting x
Nicola happy you were a guest of the Hovercraft History Hunters (HHH) on this particular Hovercraft Adventure; you captured Simon's find beautifully!! You are a good friend! Many "majic moments" of filming & post production. Just Excellent!
Thank you! ♥️
@@nicolawhitemudlark You're welcome. Plus a "❤" back to you!
Not many things to smile about these days -- but I cannot help smiling ear-to-ear when I watch your videos (and enjoy my Scottish Breakfast tea with lots of milk and honey!) -- thank you!
An absolutely incredible day for everyone including us the viewers! I am so envious of your adventure today! Thank you so much for the opportunity to go along for the ride!
Thanks for coming along Mary!
The fact you are hanging out with the guys having a great time should inspire every woman to just be themselves. I applaud your genuine graciousness and lack of whining over the dirt. So fun.
Oh my goodness!!! I was living vicariously watching you all in the hovercraft. Such fun! What a great group of guys with whom to go mudlarkiing. That Roman pot! WOW! 😘👍👍👍
I love how happy y'all are for each other when one of you makes an amazing find. Warms the cockles!
Nicola you have come such a long way since your first tentative videos! This is sublime. I'm so glad I found your channel when I did and happy to keep coming back for more clay pipes, bottles and coins, whatever the tide decides to wash up or reveal. Keep up the good work. and thank you.
Thank you Caren!
Fabulous fabulous fun!! What an adventure and stunning finds!! Simon's find made my heart skip a beat!! Your film making is excellent...so much better. and much more exciting than any drama on Netflix!! Thanks for sharing the joy!! Have a great week ahead!! 🤗❤
Ah thanks Debs. What a lovely thing to say. Im so happy you enjoyed it. xx
Thank you very much for taking me out to this extreme mudlarking adventure! Greetings from Germany, Susanne
Oh Nic!! What an amazing adventure filled with epic finds and as always ... thank you for taking me along! ❤️
Thanks for coming Thea xx
Wow! A film jam packed with amazing finds, grand scenery and hovercrafts :) Si's Roman vessel is stunning, great to see it being found after the pics on instagram, loved the inkwell just eroding out of the banks too! You'll have us collecting more bricks now - they make great dividers in the garden ;)
Thank you x and yes! collect more bricks
I recently discovered your channel, Nicola, I hope one day I can overcome my anxiety and venture out to Mudlark. Your videos couldn't have come at a better time for me. My lovely mum passed away in July, she was my best friend and absolutely adored History just as much as I do. I know she'd find your videos equally as fascinating. Thank you very much for sharing your discoveries with us all x
Hi Hayley. Im so sorry about the loss of your Mum. That is so difficult and Im glad that the videos can take you away for a while. I also hope you can overcome your anxiety and venture out to mudlark. I find that mudlarking actually helps anxiety as I am very much in the moment when I am searching. Almost like meditation. Sending you lots of love xox
Anxiety is simply a bad habit of thought (I tell you as someone who lost years of my life to it- such a waste 😖)
Don’t let it steal one more moment of your LIFE- if you truly want to be rid of it- understand that the ONLY thing you truly have control is what you allow to go on in your mind.
You ALWAYS have the option to change the focus and stop
The looping that ramps it all up.
Check out Marissa Peer and Abraham Hicks on YT- get your life back
Great trip Nicola!!😀 Thanks for taking us with you! You did great driving the hovercraft as well! You must find a first century pottery too!!!😊☺️♥️
Beautiful hovercraft sequence! Nicola.
Thank you! It was such a lot of fun putting this video together.
I agree, had me thinking of a Charlies Angels sequence. Looked like a very memorable experience.
Loved Si -“Best ever find!! ( So far)”great video, great fun. Nic, the continuous smile while you were driving is priceless!
One of the best vids I've watched in a while, watched it with a smile and a few laughs too, especially Si's pot switch. Really got the sense of a great day out with some lovely finds in the mix.
This was the BEST video! Wow! You looked free as a bird and soooooooo pretty with the wind blowing your hair and the giant smile on your face!
It was fun!! ❤️
Hello from Washington State!!! I love what you do! I’ve been watching for some time now. Today’s video was a real trip for us!
We are right there with you on the hovercraft and what fun!! I’ll make this short but you’ve opened my eyes to so many wonderful things!!
Thank you so much!
With love
Bye for now
Kathy
Wow! This video had it all! What an adventure! Thoroughly enjoyed watching, and some fab finds to boot..
That looked soooo much fun, great bunch to be out with too.
You go girl !!!! Such fun. And treasures abound. Simons face is priceless. What a find. And a fun day by all. So glad you went !!! Thanks for sharing.
Really super video!!! Simon's pot is a true treasure! Loved your finds as well. It's amazing that you found the ink bottle way out their. I especially loved the little bit of pipe with what looks like a bird on it. Thanks for sharing:)
Thank you Kathi. I loved that too!
Could the pipe be depicting "A bird in the hand..."?
What an amazing video of the hovercraft! I've never really seen them before! And what finds whole Roman jugs! Absolutely amazing, I can't even imagine finding something like that and actually holding it in my hands after all that time!💝💝
I graduated from the University of Colorado, whose mascot is the buffalo, 40 years ago. So it occurred to me that, while I'm not royal, I'm definitely an antediluvian buffalo! Thanks for the videos, I love to watch them.
Thank you. So glad you enjoy them. x
That seemed like it was great fun. So finding the Roman pot was fantastic. I am glad you got
to have that experience. Thanks for sharing it with us.🌹❤️
Wow what a nice invitation,I'm sure the bacon sandwiches were terrific but so is the pleasure of your company!
ah thanks. I hope they thought so! x
Huge congratulations on the finds of a lifetime!! I so enjoyed watching you having such fun with the hovercraft! This makes the top 5 posts easily! Thank you for sharing the adventure 👏🏻❤️
Thank you Nancy! X
What a great video, Nic! Seeing you maneuver that hovercraft, you are indeed "The Wild Woman of the Waters"! Some great finds, as always, but the highlight for me was watching your excitement and sheer joy out on the water. Thanks for the ride, Nic!
Thank you for showing us around again! Loved this video!
Thank you 💓
Since the pandemic began, yourself and Simon unknowingly become close friends (and entertainment) with me as I work from home. Really enjoyed this video specifically. Thanks for sharing what you do and look for me purchasing from your shop soon!
Thanks David! I'll have to out something in my shop! Soon hopefully x
Wonderful adventure!! Thanks for taking us along!! Great finds, looked like great fun!!💕😺😺😺
Wow what an amazing find for Si, loved how Nic was still picking up pottery when she was stuck in the mud. Great video!!!!!!
I know! picking up pottery till the very end :)
What a fabulous day with what are obviously some awesome guys!!! You all really need to wear hip waders out in that mud ☺ 🐌🏺Thank you for taking us on your adventure!
Thanks for watching x
I’m so jealous you can go out and have that much fun! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Absolutely Epic Nic! Epicness! Fabulous video... thanks for sharing! ~ Gypsy
Thanks Gypsy xx
Hey Nicola! I’m so excited to see. So much history in your country... we are still a very young territory compared to the UK 🇬🇧...be safe.
Thanks Mike, you too
Love Nicola's posts.
Aw Nic you missed a pipe bowl while you where stuck in the muck @20:53 🤣🤣 hovercrafting looked so much fun! Great video 😊
What a great group, lucky you, Nicola.
Wonderful that Si found an intact Roman pottery, so happy for him. That’s a great name you gave him. Good driving for a first timer. Your pipe end appears to have a bird on it. The brick is something that Mr Johnson would probably enjoy. Great video
Oh wow Nicola I am sooooo jealous! What a lucky lady you are. Thank you for sharing.
yes very lucky Jan x
Nicola -- that lovely pipe-crook you found might be from a pub called "A Bird in the Hand" or at least is illustrating that moral adage. It is very stunning!
I absolutely loved this video! My husband caught me “ talking” to the screen when I got so excited with Simons find! You are a brave women to drive that hovercraft!
Cindy🌸🌸🌸
Hi interesting video, super find for Si Fi!, very much the James Bond girl in the video impressive handling of the hovercraft 😁. Looking forward to your next video take care xx.
Thank you Mike and Brenda x
Really enjoyed my time in London today. I am happy that you finally brought a brick home with you. That would be my go to treasure if I were fortunate enough to live in London. Thank you Nicola, my friend for sharing your adventure with me. With love and appreciation for what you do.
I have so eagerly awaited this video and you did not disappoint Nicola!! I could almost feel the wind in MY hair as you flew across the water when you were driving the hovercraft! That looked like such amazing fun!! So glad you got to experience that as well as being there when Simon found that magnificent treasure! What a great day, mud covered and all!!
Love from DeeAnn in GA, USA 🇺🇸
Thank you DeeAnn, ove back to you x
You all had a great time today! Nicola I was envious of your hovercraft drive! And, Si congratulations on your Roman find!
You looked like a pro at driving the hovercraft! It looked like fun. Great finds you found. The ink well is really nice and cool history behind the brick.
I was glad to watch this amazing find...good for you!
3:51 - ‘I love my brick!’ 💖 🧱 (Father Jack Hackett - Father Ted Christmas Special)
Was thinking the same, hahaha x
Nicola, you looked like you thoroughly enjoyed your self well-done. Life is all about having fun and doing what you love most best mudlarker in the world you get that reward foreshore boo boom😅
Holy mackerel, Nicola 😱.... your so brave driving the hover craft!!! You definitely looked like you were having the time of your life out there with the boys😁🤭👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!!!
Loved the historical information in the round up about your brick. Your so right...🤷🏼♀️ you never know what fascinating story lies behind a find until you start digging.
And there you were, also... wearing my favorite blouse of yours. It looks fabulous on you🙌🏻👍🏻!!!
Wishing you blessings and peace for the coming week.🕉️☮️🙋🏼♀️.
Thank you Juliet! Xx
One of the best videos that you have ever shared -loved every minute of it,
thank you for sharing! 😍 x
Wow, thanks Marina. That means a lot coming from you. So happy you enjoyed it. I had the greatest time making it. xx
I'm so happy Simon, finding an old Roman pot in such great shape is the find of a lifetime , and a treasure !! Let us know how much that pot is worth , awesome for his collection...

I really enjoyed the video. Way to go Simon and your lovely find. Looking forward to your next adventure Nic.
Thank you Phyllis x
What an amazing day out , such brilliant finds . You won't forget that trip in a hurry !
Absolutely lovely!!!!! What a great adventure you had and all the big moments of the day. Thank you for sharing!!
I wondered why so many people passed up on the bricks. I've always thought a cute wall made out of all those ancient bricks or even a barbecue made out of them would be really an eye catcher.
When I see a brick close to home I bring one back. Landscapermade a tiny walk out(3x3 feet) in my yard. Sadly he put the makers marks down!
suedefringe he probably didn't want someone twisting an ankle if the makers mark was in the frog of the brick ( the indent). I put some in my paving but the writing was on a flat face and they seem to capture a bit of interest from visitors 👍😀
@@drunkdunc8738 yeah mine weren't deeply indented. I just don't think he liked the look lol 😆
@@suedefringe OH NO!😭😭
My garden is edged with the bricks I salvaged from the Capitol Records Factory, West Side Theatre and ,sadly ,my beautiful nearby Grammar School. I love the connection.
I wish that I could thumbs up at least twice, if not more. I always enjoy watching you finds, but this trip WOW! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Lynda! xx
Great vid as always nic. Your adventures are such a blessing to watch
Glad you enjoyed it Ash xx
Great video Nic.The look of pure joy on your face when you were driving the hovercraft was priceless.It really made me smile.What an amazing find for Si,so happy to witness such a special day for such a special mudlover.Thanks for taking us along for the ride.x
Thanks for coming x
Omg . Dear Nicola,
So good this hovercraft adventure.
So many fun🤪🥰.
Thank you for this film.
I love it.
Jette
Ps: i love your stories too.. thank you
Thank Jette x
You're so lucky you get to ride with Benn , He is awfully cute . Great work driving the Hoover Craft , Nicola .
Wow! What a great outing! I swear you were wearing a grin from ear to ear when you were driving the hovercraft!
it was such fun Karen! x
Great vid!! Such fun watching y’all fly over the water/ mud!!! And very happy you got out of the muck unscathed!!! Great finds as well!! Si’s pot was amazing!!! Y’all find such great stuff!!! Would love to do the mud thing.. however physical limitations get in the way...I’m afraid my cane would get stuck and I would parish in a sea of muck!!! But maybe with a valuable pot in my cold hands, shouting ,”I’ve found it!!! Give it to Nic and Si!!!”.LoL😻
😍 another great video Nicola! I so much wish I could have gone with you and the young men on that fantastic Adventure🙋🏼💜🇺🇸
it was fab Lorraine. You would love it!
What a fantastic video! You drove the hovercraft like a pro! 😄 I’d love to have a go at that one day. So happy for Si finding the Roman pot, special that you got to share the moment together, it’s a beauty. Have a great week xx
Hello everyone all my favorite people on a mystery adventure woot woot! wow 🤩 fantastic finds
What a wonderful outing Nicola. You looked like you were having the time of your life. Loved all your finds, especially that stunning brick. For that to have survived in such pristine condition, is nigh short of a miracle. Beautiful. Would love to see where you display that. I can tell from your face, that driving that Hovercraft was one of the most exciting things you have ever done. Well done. Thanks for taking us along for the ride Nicola and can't wait for your next video. Now have to wait for Simonus The Luck in the Muckus to post his pot that he found. :)
Thank you for loving my brick! :) x
Simon....WOW! Another Roman Pot! Amazing! I see a complete Bartman in your future! 🦋
Fun fun fun!! You were a joy to watch driving that hovercraft! And Si!!! That pot!!! So happy for him. Thanks for an exciting video!!
Nicola, you looked like you had so much fun driving the hovercraft! Is there a new purchase in your future? :-)
I think bacon sandwiches for passage is a better deal💰💰💰
Why buy when your friends have one and enjoy your company on their adventures? (And they probably are very costly things too).
Concern and giggles from Si, bless!
The Love Boat kinda music is perfect for your epic piloting scene! A great moment in a great video! Well done!
O.M.G. ! To finde a complete Roman pot...Nicola, your shows are always so interesting and always expose hidden history. Lovely lady. keep up the great videos. We do so much enjoy your work. Have a happy day!
Thanks Cary xx
That must have been a thrill to drive one of those! And Si's pot....Wow!!!
it really was!
Hi Mudlover Excellent find love it beautiful mudlarking enjoyed it thank u mudlover 👣💯👌
I mean, hovercraft.. ING, mudlarking and Si's discovery....Queen Nic and her brick...
What an awesome day.. ❤️
"Queen Nic and her brick" LOL! Perfect.
Superb video Nicola Music good while you were hurtling over the water and mud you had such a good time and the whole video was fun for me as I felt I was in the hovercraft with you!!! The Roman pot that Simon found, and the digging of it out and his expression as he found more and more of it intact was priceless, He`s so chuffed, as are you. Big change from your usual videos but that doesn`t take anything away from what you show us. Till the next time Nicola and thank you.
Thank you John!
I’ve been waiting for this one! WhooHoo! Just the greatest! 😊❤️
Thanks Tony! Enjoy xx
Mudlarking on a Hover craft that's like dreams coming true! What absolute 💯% FUN! And a Roman jug to boot! The other finds are just as exciting as well! I'm so glad I saw this video! Thank you for sharing that adventure!
I was metal detecting on the mainland and saw these 3 hovercraft take off (do hovercraft take off?!) yesterday, Saturday 19th Sept. little did I know who was on board.
They were very noisy!
Probably not all of them as this was filmed awhile back. But maybe some of them.
Jeriann Roberts I’m sure it was Saturday just gone as I was there!!
Si made the find of a lifetime, and you were there! Awesome, Nic! And you made some great finds as well, I love the pen rest inkwell! Glad you had so much fun!😊💖
Nic and Si, such great friends. Wish I had mates like that.
Thanks Nicola. Old Scotland Yard had cells done in that type of enameled brick. It came in colors as well and was quite gorgeous and shined like fine tile work. Take care. Have a great week.🙂💜
Thank you x
Nicola's Hovercraft History Adventure 4:00
Opening sequence: quiet music with hints of adventure. Voice over- Sir David Attenbourough... As Nicola embarks on her great adventure, the sky is azure with a frosting of cirrus clouds, a light breeze hints at the excitement and wonder just beyond the horizon. What will she find today? 16th Century clay pipes? Rare bottles? Dare she hopes: Roman pottery?

Opening sequence: heavy metal music, fast clips, dizzying camera angles. Voice Over- Ozzy Osborne: GET SOME LUCK IN THE MUCK!
lol. Thanks for taking us along on the Epic Journey! You take me places I will never see.
ha ha exactly. Isn't it funny how different people can interpret experiences!
Simon you must have developed a real eye for Roman pots.
Awesome introduction, thanks
Cool video! What that must have been. Mask free, away from London and all that chaos. Fun and freeing and great finds😁😎👌
"a bird in the hand is worth two in the pipe bowl", Shakey'speare
exactly what I was thinking. reading the other comments to see if anyone else was.
I always enjoy your mudlarking adventures, as well as the bit of history afterwards. Great work, Simonus LuckintheMudicus!
Amazing what treasures technology can help us find.
😃 Hovercraft mudlarking, WOW! Looks like you had quite the adventure, too! I liked the pottery pieces you found, and boy did Simon get the prize with his Roman jug! But you managed to get in some hovercraft fun, scooting around! 😃 I'd have loved that. 😊
This was a wonderful vid for me, today. I got sick this morning and was trying to be quiet and still but keep my spirits up. Your vid was perfect while having lunch. Thank you for posting it, I really loved your hovercraft adventure! 💕 Blessings! 😏
Thank you Catalina and I hope you feel better soon xx
@@nicolawhitemudlark Thanks! I was feeling much better after lunch. 😁
For a moment I thought i was watching an episode of Charlie’s Angels. Great stuff!
Lovely video once more and some incredible finds. Look forward to next weeks thrilling episode.
Regards,
Rod K
the music 🎶 makes it !
Thank you. Im glad you mentioned Charlie's Angels as that is exactly what I was trying to put across :) x
@@clockwork9827 Thank you! I love choosing the music as it is so important x
It was a terrific part of the video, just made me chuckle as it was so much like a scene from that sort of series. It's great when you add little moments of fun and liightheartedness into your videos. Always a joy to watch each Sunday.
All the best to you and have a great week,
.
Rod
@@nicolawhitemudlark well it worked nic coz when my family were watching it together both my folks said it was like Charles angels x
Looks like fun being out on the hovercraft. Simon found a nice whole vase there, awesome! How fun to drive the hovercraft, well done Nicola. Really looks like you all had a fun time.
