Mudlarking along the River Thames London
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Join NIcola White for a mudlark along the banks of the River Thames in London. This time we are exploring Battersea and then an afternoon outing to Cliffe, Kent reveals a few unexpected interesting little pieces of history.
The Higham / Cliffe walk in Kent is one of my favourites and the details are here:

And you can read my blog about vulcanite bottle stoppers, a relatively common find on the Thames foreshore, but fascinating nevertheless:-

And of course, if you're curious to see some of the things I made with Thames finds, you can see them at:-

or, at my website www.tidelineart.com
Enjoy. I welcome feedback or emails or further info on any finds! Email me at Nicola.white@tidelineart.com
Thanks. Enjoy! Nicola
I am so utterly jealous - it must be amazing to live in a country with such history! I’m a Canuck, so there’s not truly anything like this here. If I ever visit my lovely friends over in England, this will definitely be something I will be doing! Love the videos!! ❤️
It amazes me how many pipe bowls you find!
why is there so many in that river area ?
Sherlock Holmes lived near there.
ahh good answer :}
Pipes were sold with tobacco in the bowl. When you finished the tobacco you threw out the pipe.
Its always funny in a good way how you say hello to all you encounter in the thames..like mr crabs..
I thought I was the only nut to walk along rivers and pick up "junk".. love your video , so interesting, I can't believe the age of some of your treasures, mine are not nearly that old. I'm in the U.S. and grew up along boundry waters.. always looking for a "dump" pile and river glass... so much fun. Thanks for sharing your talent and wonderful expertise.
I love this channel so much. It is so very relaxing. I would give anything to go mudlarking on the Thames. Thanks for the videos!
Watch your videos all the time. Love the history that the Thames gives up! Greetings from the US, state of Minnesota
Mary Pass greetings to you too! 😊

A great adventure of mudlarking. Very unique pipe bowls today! Thank you for sharing!!
TAKE IT! It's embossed plus you missed at least 2 marbles! I know, you can't see everything all the time. Got me all excited tho! My life for a Mudlarking of the Thames!😂
Darla Wolz ha ha! I did take it you'll be pleased to know
yes pleased! MORE, MORE!!
I love the fragment that has "sisters...together" on it. I lost my sister a year ago this month, and that fragment touched my heart. Well done, Nicola!
Storm Tater would you like to have it as a gift?
Are you kidding?! I would love to have it. I'm speechless.
Storm Tater drop me your address to nicola.white@tidelineart.com
Ms.Nicola you are a reall sweetheart giving that to this lady that lost her sister .God Bless you both .
That's a sign from ur sister .
Great finds you are enjoying mudlarking, as we enjoy watching your adventures Thank You!
Simply amazing finds! I love the pipe with the lion & the unicorn! Thank you for sharing! ~ Gypsy
I just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying your videos lately. It's amazing what you can find in the world if you just take a moment to look around.
Excellent adventures in mudlarking for you this round! Love the small "crystal ball". It makes me think of a remembrall from the Harry Potter books.
Ive watched quite a few Mudlarking you tube videos but my favorite is Nicoles. Tonight ive been watching all of them one after the other. I find her so soothing and lovely. I wish I could be there!!
Great video and amazing finds. You speak so eloquently. Thanks for letting us try to pick out the item before you show it up close - it's a fun challenge. You sure gave goid eyes.
I love your videos. You have a very similar sensibility as I do and the things you find interesting and weird and beautiful are exactly the same things as me. I love your dry wry wit and you just have such a calming and charming way about you. Thank you for sharing your Thames adventures and for taking the same joy in “a good pipe extraction” as I would. Cheers, Michele
Michele Brunskill thanks Michelle xx
Michele Brunskill thanks Michelle xx
Just discovered your videos today and it so much fun to watch. I love a nice walk, but have never found treasure like you do! (Well except for funny rocks and the occasion arrow head.)
it is amazing how many of those pipes have lasted in the shape they are in. great video.
hi ..i am from Canada!....i have been to your beautiful country and would love to return one day. i would like to express my fondness of your channel. All the treasures and your wonderful personality really brings light into my life. Thank you and please continue reaching for the stars!..best regards,Kerri-Ann
I can see as well lots of nice jasper and crystals
Thank you for another excellent trip along the river.
fell onto your channel by error today, how interesting and relaxing. subscribed. thanks.
Carla Garrett hi Carla, thank you, and I'm glad you chanced on the channel by error!
Love those pipe bowls, the ones I find are all smashed to bits by the plough and wow you've got sharp eyes, thanks for sharing 👍
I know that I could never be aloud to do what your doing as bad as I would like to so I'll just watch you do it, your finds are great
wonderful mudlarking adventure & beautifully produced.
The "No crabs..." was so funny! Great video.
Whoah.
Just had the most disoriented experience.
I worked today,and absolutely exhausted,I started watching Si-Find’s latest video(9/11/22), but fell asleep sitting up.
Woke up and this Tideline video was playing,and it was Mr Crabs.
I would remember Mr. Crabs,he was totally unfamiliar.
I was confused,having fogging woken up!
Turns out,my phone automatically started playing this video while I was dozing,and it’s gotta be one of the few vids of yours that I haven’t seen,from 5 years ago.
Now that I am awake proper,I’ll zip back to the beginning,and view it,then finish watching Si’s video too.
Hope you are doing well.
Difficult week for your nation among nations.❤️
"slightly wobbly legs"!! Awesome :-)
I saw someone over on Twitter with this quote "Brothers & sisters, hand in hand, our lips together move; Then smile upon this little band, and join our hearts in love" but I can't verify the accuracy.
Greg Webster yes i put it on twitter to find out the quote in its entirety
And now I need to follow you there :)
Absolutely fascinating video; thank you so much for making/posting it. "No crabs were harmed during the making of this film." HAHAHAHAHA! Brilliant. I really enjoyed your cormorant as well. My dear late mother spent the last 8 years of her life in a nursing home, which overlooked the harbor here in my home town. Due to a brain injury from a horrendous car crash, her memory wasn't all that great. When I visited her she would point to a passing cormorant and ask: "What is the name of those... those... black flappers?" Every time I see a cormorant now, I think of my dear mom and think "black flapper". Thank you.
That was a great adventure of mudlarking. Thank you so much for sharing, it was fabulous. I love your sense of humor as well. I feel like I'm on the adventure with you and learn so much from your videos.
Linda Meeks thanks Linda x
it is so cool to see what you look for and find in your country! thank you
Really enjoy your videos.
Never know what will turn up in a river with so much history like the Thames.
so much history ... I would love to go there and see .... thank you so much for sharing
Outstanding discoveries. You are truly dedicated and persistent. Love the history shared on the items found. Best of luck with future explorations.
The live round is a 9mm and the fish is a Bream nice hunt ATB Paul
Paul BC,Detecting thank you
Didn't know the fish but knew the ammo 👌
In the excitement I felt on your new video notification last night, I realized you truly are becoming a favorite creator, one of the few I watch as soon as notified. Chill Bill may have better hair of course, but even so, I look forward to more of your creative mind and no one can do a pipe extraction like you Nicola. Hope to see more soon!
scott lund thank you Scott! I feel very proud indeed now :) x
scott lund ps yes shame about my hair though! Must find out where Bill gets his done!!
Nice spot! So pretty that pipe bowl! The next pipe bowl was wow! Lol...the knighted penguin! Pipes galore!
I like the art you create with your finds. I live near a river called Pend Orielle in Washington State USA. The finds aren't quite so old unless you find arrowheads but people would dump trash in the river too. I have found interesting things and am trying to create something with them instead of just leaving them in a box.
Cindy Hofer yes get creative! Show me what you make!
Once again Nicola a great vid. Thank you.
I'm a new subbie from new York and I also do river shore mudlarking . never found such beautiful items as you do. I love the pottery pieces that you find. thank you for sharing .
Christina Travis my pleasure! Thanks for your comments
I found my first 1700 pipe . It has no stem and it's broken in half. But it does have the butt end and it has a mark on it . I can't make it out . I will look it up. I'm so happy I found one on the shore of the Hudson River of new York 👍☺. Thank you for sharing . I'm so excited .
New York? Try dead horse bay Christina.
Taikuu for taking us with you and showing us lots of treasure's. Till next time..
Norway knighted a penguin "Brigadier Nils Olav", he is the mascot to the royal kings guard
Ola Myhre and he lives in Edinburgh zoo :D
Ola Myhre iiiii
I love to wake up and with a cup of tea or coffee, sit on my patio and watch you and Si- finds. Always so excited to see what you find!!😁💟
Such beautiful pipes and pottery, I have noticed the agate and some Jasper stones around you as you pick up the objects. Some would make some great pendant jewelery. You are so lucky! Beautiful finds!
A very old pipe bowl indeed! Love to think of who might have smoked that pipe back when it was new.
Not very many people thank like u I wonder the same thing I alwasy Wonder WATS ther storrey
Would love to find one with a long enough stem to smoke a bowl of cherry blende in it!
@@mikehoward8201 The stem often is a friction fit piece of hard rubber. Easier to clean.
I really enjoyed your video...mudlarking looks like so much fun.
Love your art!! What fun finds. Can’t wait to see your finished works😁
This was so fun!!!
Alas the poor bream...a freshwater species possibly straying too close to salty Battersea. Yum, yum thought Mr Crabs.
Wonderful video Nicola...perfect with tea and crumpets.
Along with you're wonderful accent. I love the excitement you show with each exotic new find. I sometimes find clay pipe fragments while looking in plowed fields for arrowheads. I have kept every piece I have found for over 40 years and the equal about twice the amount of full pipes you found in one outing. and I only find fragments. very exciting to see. Keep up the good work. Jim.
Jim Andrews thanks Jim!
Sorry if someone else let you know that the plural of deer is.....wait for it, deer. Many moons ago my father corrected me on this as we drove past a deer farm in the upper Hunter Valley in NSW. Australia. They have very high fences to keep the deer inside. Thank you for your videos, I’m loving them and I’m very envious. I wish I was there too. I’ve been trying to find out if a visitor to London is able to apply for a permit. I have not seen anything referring to non residents, and I have seen the different kinds of permits etc. if you happen to have any idea about this, I’d be very grateful. I’m going to keep on searching online so please don’t go out of your way. Anyway , once again, thanks so so much for your wonderful videos and the information you seek out. I just love finding out the stories behind the finds. Take care and stay happy. All my best xox secret squirrel aka eve xox
Always look forward to what you will find next time!
Great finds girl. Sorry we never saw you descending and ascending that ladder. Plenty of fossils in that grey rock at Battersea. wormy type things. You left a copper coney thingy near that second button you retrieved. You missed a few thins. You had you pipe bowl eyes on I take it. No rude words on that penny either. You could make a bob or two selling one of those sea urchin fossils you know. That was indeed a rose farthing by the way. That olde ship looked like a good fixer up project. You had great fun I assume. Lucky sod.
Another superb video showing more superb finds. The torpedo bottle was an interesting find. Its hard to imagine Schweppes lemonade factory being off Oxford Street ! Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to your next video already.
the unicorn/lion pipe is soooo cool. I enjoyed your video. thank you
Pipes pipes and more lovely pipes 😀 thank you for sharing 😀
Yet another great video. Thanks, Nicola!
Your Thames glass fish are wonderful. Youre very talented.
The clear glass ball is a net edge float. These were tied all around the edges of fishing nets to float them across the water so they would not sink. Hand-blown. A lovely treasure!
Love the pipe finds in the pretty, crunchy rocks
Alwyas nice to spent some time whith you along the Thames... Bravo for the work on the video !
you must have great eyes to be able to see those pipes among all of the rocks and other stuff around. l really injoy your videos
william pasche thank you
Thanks for sharing, love your videos. Bradley from West Michigan, USA😇👍
That at the end is just to cool love em !
nice video,great hunt so many nice finds
It,s amazing of all the pipes you find very lovely designs and workmenship . and the history behind all the items found if only they could talk !
Always amazed by what you find. You are the clay pipe whisperer. Cheers from across the pond!
very good finds Nicola, love the pipes !
Amazing finds, I absolutely love clay pipes. I metal detect and I'm also an artist and you channel really has great historical information and I love your artistry and style. Thanks so much. Well done.
John Ballard thanks john. Do you have a website?
I *love* your videos! Coming from a very young country (New Zealand), we would never find the things that are found in the UK (where you can dig up a car-park and discover the bones of a king! Not that that is mudlarking but anyway......).
It's amazing to see people poking around their back yards in the UK and going "ho hum - another bit of Roman pottery........" I'm very envious......... :)
This was a lovely video and reminded me that under our feet the beautiful 'rubbish' of the past is right there in plain sight if you have eyes to see... Mud is so much better at retaining than sand! Thanks
Great video and you are brave going down the ladder and up it for that matter.
YAY, YOU KEPT IT! NICE HALL! I too dig treasure and really like the blue&white patterns and the Cobalt bottles.
I have created table top art like tiled tops, out of all the little pieces with color or pattern on it. I've no pics as this was before cell phones with cameras.
I've even lost some of the tops. I can't wait for your next video! CHEERS!
MISS DARLA K. from
Red Bluff CA.
Northern California!
The pipe bowls are just fantastic , you are so very lucky to be able to do the mudlarking !!!!!
Woo hoo! Another upload from the lovely Nicola. It's so interesting the history you can find, the deer piece was very nice.
The fish is a freshwater Bream Nicola. A nice one too.
*was ;)
Nice video and a haul to be envied. The fish is a freshwater one, a bream. Thanks.
very interesting walk, thanks for sharing it
I would have bucket full rocks f I was there, love videos and all your pipes. Happy Mudlarking for the new year.
What a amazes me is how many pipes still have their lovely stems on them. Love yours videos and the wonderful things you manage to unearth, looking forward to more! k
Thank you for sharing this video with us. Unfortunately too short once again. Beautiful finds, I would love finding one pipe along the shore, that is a unique experience. Next time I am visiting London I will ask for a permission to practice mudlarking and as a novice I would need advice from person like you. All the best, looking forward to your next video. Regards from Finland
The river of pipes 🙈😄🇬🇧 love the video 👍🏼🤗 Wish you a lovely day🤗

Well, now I want to go mudlarking on the Thames in London!! That is going in my bucket list ❣️
very interesting finds
I love your pictures and your humor quite interesting find.
Ton of excellent finds! My favorites had to be the beautiful pottery.
I just discovered a video that I missed...this one. Thank you for taking us on today’s mud lark. I love your videos and I especially like the fact that I feel as if I can smell the salt air and that I am right there with you. That’s wonderful considering that as of April 15, 2018 we here in Newfoundland are still buried in snow so I love these little outings and I live vicariously through you. :) Thanks again Nicola.
