What a great lark with Tom! We love the Elephant. It's funny that you, Tom and Alex and I all found something Elephant related in our videos this week! Gail and Alex xx
Hi Gail and Alex. Yes, Elephants galore. Hope to get up to see you both soon. Let me know what month is best to come and where is best to get a train to - if you would like to do a collab? xx
As I watch each episode, I follow where you are on Google Earth. It's a great way for this Oregonian to understand how the Thames weaves through London and environs. And now I know how the River Aire divides Keighley from Riddlesden, how it originates at Malham Tarn, and all about Riddlesden Hall and those awful Murgatroyds. I can't thank you enough!
This is a wonderful video. The finds were so different from those on the Thames. Fascinating! Thank you for taking us along. I'm a new subscriber and Anglophile stuck in Chicago. I get such a vicarious thrill from your mudlarking. :)
That Elusive Tom Burleigh was all over UA-cam today....but never seen...yes, River Banksy is a good name for him. What an enjoyable outing, albeit a very, very rainy one for you. Your treasures are always inspiring. And yes, those could have been gem puffballs that you spotted on the bank. Altogether an exciting visit to Yorkshire to not see Tom. ;-) Looking forward to seeing you visit the Northern Mudlarks, too. Your suggestion to visit their channel has made many viewers their subscribers as well. Thanks, Nicola.
Great video adventure Nicola. I have watch many of Tom's video as well and love them as well. you video's help me get through these very cold snowy days. Looking forward to spring so I can get out and metal detect. Take care. Your Friend Steve Bonds from Bay City Michigan USA
Nicola, I watched Tom’s video earlier, you two are my hero’s and favorites. I would love to come mudlarking with you one day. It would be worth every -envy to fly across the pond. I do some mudlarking here, but never find the things that you two do.
So happy to see you mudlarking with Tom! I actually squealed with deight! I’ve been a huge fan of Toms since he started! Great finds on your adventure! Your eye for pipes is uncanny! They follow you everywhere! The mushrooms popping up were fabulous! The mass of tiny white ones around 22:50 made me think for sure a fairy would be captured on film! I hope you get a chance to collaborate with Tom again sometime!
I love it when great Mudlarker's come together and make videos where I can see each recorded perspective. I've been subscribed to Tom for several months now and I love his mellowness, and of course his talent. Thanks Nicola for doing the calibration with him, a wet but great time. Take care
I absolutely loved your shots of the mosses and toadstools! The ones that were hanging down from a bank like little lamps....gorgeous! I have always loved most. Thank you for a relaxing half hour.
You really seem to have taken your videos to another level. Most people don't realize what kind of editing it takes to make productions like this, but I appreciate all your hard work. Keep it up! Your channel is brilliant.
Nicola I was excited to see that you were doing a "lark" with the mysterious Tom Burleigh. I subscribe to his channel as well, and very much enjoy them. I thought perhaps we would at last see him in the flesh...but you stayed true to his mystery and did not let us see him...oh well a great lark!!
I’m still smiling thinking of you holding the tiny toy motorcycle and you say brrrrum brrrrum!! That was so cute, I don’t know why it makes me smile but it does!!! Cheers, Bobska
Nicola YOU are such a treasure and a sweet lady. I love watching you and literally am on the edge of my seat when you have a good find. Slim pickings though here in New Zealand 😪 tally ho and go forth clever lady 🤗
It's been a day of elephant finds for all my favorite UK mudlarks! I love the old dump videos the most as the variety of finds is so great! Thanks also for supporting each other in the mudlarking world! The friendships and camaraderie is lovely! Tom is the Banksy Mudlark for sure!
Waiting all day for this!! And for the first time in my life, I'm 1st to comment! Hooray!!! You certainly had an excellent lark w/ Tom. And such opposites in your reactions to your finds- but boy! What finds!! Thanks for taking us all along ; )
I think one of my favourite vlogs Nicola. What fun you had with Tom and I will definitely take a look at his channel. How funny that you had to buy new clothes to go home in! Loved the little mouse most xx
I'm a new sub and I really enjoy this.Im up in Boston we drag magnets we have found crazy things. Safes, knifes, guns,I'd really like to find the pipes . Your collection rocks.
What a wonderful journey with great treasures! I think the unusual pipe is a mummy pipe. Probably from one of the pyramids in Egypt no doubt. And how tricky when you picked up the bottle with a pipe beside it. I was screaming, the pipe Nic the pipe!!! Of course you didn't miss it else you'd not be the Pipe Queen. And exciting moment indeed! What beautiful country. Our Mother Earth is truly beautiful everywhere, at least where industry hasn't destroyed it. The music beautiful and very fitting as usual. Quite an adventure. One could spend many days there exploring our past and those things once Loved and cherished. That is the best treasure and it certainly isn't about its value on the market. To hold history in your hand and imagine the people who owned these things and each life and how it was lived. This is the true gift. Thank You Most Kindly Nicola and Tom. I am tuning into Tom's channel right after this message. Love, Light, Peace with Loved things found that make imagination! DaveyJO in Pa.
I love Tom, his a lovely soul. I was hoping to see his face, but alas, no! His very mysterious. I understand it though and I'm just starting up my channel and I don't think I'll have my face in the vids either. Not to start with anyway. Looks like you guys had fun and some incredible finds, well worth the train ride, damn.. Those pipes 😲😲😲😲😲😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
A lovely adventure on a 'not so lovely' weather day. Such a true smorgasbord of finds along the River Aire ... Tom is a most kind and knowledgeable man and certainly has some great stories and areas to find grand treasures. Thanks for taking us along Nicola....Cheers 🍷🍷👍😎
"Heavens to Murgatroyd is a cry of surprise. The American exclamation Heavens to Murgatroyd was made popular by Snagglepuss, a cartoon pink mountain lion created by Hanna-Barbera in 1959. Snagglepuss’ voice was patterned on the voice of actor Bert Lahr. Heavens to Murgatroyd carries no further meaning than similar expressions such as Heavens to Betsy and Holy Cow." In any case, it's a small world after all. Cheers.
I remember my Grandma says "For heavens to murgatroyd" when I was growing up. I say it now to see what the younger generation says because most have never heard it before.
What a wonderful day on a river that moves away from profane people! You truly earned your treasures with the steep, slippery banks with their long wet grass! Loved the different fungi, especially the last growing on the bank, looking just like hundreds of white umbrellas, curved handles included! It amazes me that you continue to unearth such unusual pipes and sweet faced dolls. Great mudlark!
Tom's crested Tank and Machine Gunner are almost certainly made by WH Goss a well known potter from Stoke-on-Trent, who happens to be my many times Great Uncle! If they were turned over, you would see the Goshawk symbol. In good condition, very collectible and valuable!
@@nicolawhitemudlark Thank You for answering. Sounds interestingly good, like a plan if you shall. I've recently started metal detecting and magnet fishing (hope spring will come soon;)and would like to go live mudlarking if I weren't here surrounded by thousand of lakes on a mainland :) Keep the good content coming Nicola. Greetings, you have a subscriber from Finland. M.S.
When you find things, you often say "I wonder who used this last." I often imagine a flood of British cursing after something was fumbled into the Thames.
‘Riverbanksy’ - Love it!
Fascinating..! Thanks Nic... . . Tom the River Banksy is great.. Real peaceful style.. what a fun guy (fungi..) !
Thanks Sean! When are we going to do a detecting collaboration then!? X
@@nicolawhitemudlark Soon... sorry life has been a bit hectic. . x
Looks like a vintage radio tuning capacitor at 20:36, I used to use them when constructing crystal radio sets in the 70's
Wow so near from where i was born...made me homesick...loved it nicola...thank you....xxxx
What a great lark with Tom! We love the Elephant. It's funny that you, Tom and Alex and I all found something Elephant related in our videos this week! Gail and Alex xx
Hi Gail and Alex. Yes, Elephants galore. Hope to get up to see you both soon. Let me know what month is best to come and where is best to get a train to - if you would like to do a collab? xx
Elephants are good finds. In my culture, If you ever find one with the trunk up that's rare and means good luck.
Mudlarkers are such a lovely community.
I was born 20 miles away. Love Tom, he's our river Womble.
Oh Yas!!! I do love it when you take us down the rivers❤❤❤❤❤
As I watch each episode, I follow where you are on Google Earth. It's a great way for this Oregonian to understand how the Thames weaves through London and environs. And now I know how the River Aire divides Keighley from Riddlesden, how it originates at Malham Tarn, and all about Riddlesden Hall and those awful Murgatroyds. I can't thank you enough!
Thank you!
I bet some where there is a little critter that has a trophy wall of all the heads from the metal "toy" people. Delightful video.
Thanks Rebecca x
What a pretty area! I love those birch trees. The sound of the river is lovely, lots of children’s things. Yes! Puff balls we called them!
There are Puff Balls & also Earth Balls very similar & bigger.
Some naughty children would step on them in the late summer, early fall....but not ME!
;)
Fabulous finds nicola well done and thank you🤩👍🤗🙏🙏
Another amazing video from the Queen of mudlarking.
Good morning Nicola... lovely video - as always! Not one of you videos has ever disappointed! Thank you ❤
This is a wonderful video. The finds were so different from those on the Thames. Fascinating! Thank you for taking us along. I'm a new subscriber and Anglophile stuck in Chicago. I get such a vicarious thrill from your mudlarking. :)
Thank you very much Leslie Anne. Glad you are enjoying x
Yet another quality and informative video Nicola.I never tire from watching them.
Thank you! Thanks for watching x

The nursery rhyme is 'Ding Dong Bell'! Love your channel, thank you for your videos - they are keeping me company while I'm stuck at home x
Hello! I watched the video earler with Tom B. It was great!
Most delightful Nicola! Thank you for sharing with us...
I swear I could smell the river and the mud while watching this one! Loved it!
...and the mushrooms and rain...
Or my god you are up in my part of the world ,Well done Nicola you are brilliant xxxxx
I watched Tom's video,it was so nice of him to leave the pipe for you.I hope you join him again,the area's he goes to are so peaceful.
Great video adventure Nicola. I have watch many of Tom's video as well and love them as well. you video's help me get through these very cold snowy days. Looking forward to spring so I can get out and metal detect. Take care. Your Friend Steve Bonds from Bay City Michigan USA
My two favorite mud larkers....magical
agreed
Another wonderful day of finds!!! Thank you!
Tom sounds like a fun-guy 🍄 I bet you didn’t have mush-room left in your bag 💼
Reclaiming memories one item at a time. Thanks for sharing.
Nicola, I watched Tom’s video earlier, you two are my hero’s and favorites. I would love to come mudlarking with you one day. It would be worth every -envy to fly across the pond. I do some mudlarking here, but never find the things that you two do.
I guess you could go to the country and dig out an old dump. In North Idaho there is a free pile where people sort out the treasures.
what a change for you nicola, down at the river bank love the the days search
So happy to see you mudlarking with Tom! I actually squealed with deight! I’ve been a huge fan of Toms since he started!
Great finds on your adventure! Your eye for pipes is uncanny! They follow you everywhere!
The mushrooms popping up were fabulous! The mass of tiny white ones around 22:50 made me think for sure a fairy would be captured on film!
I hope you get a chance to collaborate with Tom again sometime!
Thanks Terese x
She is the “Pipe Whisperer”!
Great show you old Mucker You! Thanks for the memories!
I enjoyed the story of the river turning.
You live a remarkable life Nicola thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you. And my pleasure. x
Screaming at the screen a tiny bit was hoping to see what Tom looks like after all this time lol great collaboration
I am having so much fun with you this evening! Thanks for the adventure Friend🤗
I love Tom’s videos. You are so lucky that you got to meet him in person. Too bad you couldn’t talk him in to being on camera.
A perfect river elephant! Great finds, how fun to enter Toms world.
I love it when great Mudlarker's come together and make videos where I can see each recorded perspective. I've been subscribed to Tom for several months now and I love his mellowness, and of course his talent. Thanks Nicola for doing the calibration with him, a wet but great time. Take care
Wonderful day out and some very nice finds for you. Thank you for giving us a glimpse.
15 minutes in~ tell me you pitched a tent and stayed longer. The animals with fantastic details alone are a wonder! Cheers to your 'Riverbank Banksy'!
Thank for sharing, Nic. I've subscribed to Tom's channel.
Thank you Tobias! X
I absolutely loved your shots of the mosses and toadstools! The ones that were hanging down from a bank like little lamps....gorgeous! I have always loved most. Thank you for a relaxing half hour.
What!? My two favourite mudlarkers together? I love it.
“some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth.”
You really seem to have taken your videos to another level. Most people don't realize what kind of editing it takes to make productions like this, but I appreciate all your hard work. Keep it up! Your channel is brilliant.
Hello Nicola. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Wasn't Tom amazing.
I love how you get so excited when you find a pipe!!! Thank you for sharing the history.
Great video! Love the shot of the mushrooms at 22:35. 😘
This is my relaxation video for when I'm lost and just want to see some nice things.
I'm not creepy I'm a open book.
What an awesome episode! 😊
I loved the elephants & lemonade bottles. 🦋
My very favorite Nicola, I love elephants, have lots of them. I think you could find a pipe in the dark. Lovely way to spend time.😍
Im so excited watching this, such beautiful pipes.. and the toys..ahhh I'm green
Tom has been making the rounds. Larking with the Northern Mudlarks also.
Fantastic. Great finds the Yorkshire digger would be proud of those bottle stoppers.
Nicola I was excited to see that you were doing a "lark" with the mysterious Tom Burleigh. I subscribe to his channel as well, and very much enjoy them. I thought perhaps we would at last see him in the flesh...but you stayed true to his mystery and did not let us see him...oh well a great lark!!
Thanks Mark! Yes Tom remains a mystery
What a air of excitement you bring to the search Nickola!
Thanks Mark. Yes, constantly excited! x
That was so neat! Such a huge difference in the style of pipes there
I’m still smiling thinking of you holding the tiny toy motorcycle and you say
brrrrum brrrrum!! That was so cute, I don’t know why it makes me smile but it does!!!
Cheers, Bobska
Nicola YOU are such a treasure and a sweet lady. I love watching you and literally am on the edge of my seat when you have a good find. Slim pickings though here in New Zealand 😪 tally ho and go forth clever lady 🤗
Thank you Dorinda x
Loved your Tales of the river banksi Nicola.Such fun.x
Tom's WWI pottery tank was quite a find! Really some great bottles too-the bottle dump is a rich place!
Lovely lady, and I so enjoy watching your channel. The story about the town and river was so interesting! Thank you.
It's been a day of elephant finds for all my favorite UK mudlarks! I love the old dump videos the most as the variety of finds is so great! Thanks also for supporting each other in the mudlarking world! The friendships and camaraderie is lovely! Tom is the Banksy Mudlark for sure!
Thanks Theresa x
Few things give me greater pleasure than to hear the excitement in your voice when you find something cute 🤗
ha ha thanks!
Waiting all day for this!! And for the first time in my life, I'm 1st to comment! Hooray!!! You certainly had an excellent lark w/ Tom. And such opposites in your reactions to your finds- but boy! What finds!! Thanks for taking us all along ; )
Just finished Toms video and had to watch yours right away!
The thing Tom found that he thought was the clockwork from a music box is a Variable Capacitor. It was probably part of a radio set.
Radio tuner.
Well done Nicola....Great finds!!!
That pipe looks like a wichitty grub.😀
I think one of my favourite vlogs Nicola. What fun you had with Tom and I will definitely take a look at his channel. How funny that you had to buy new clothes to go home in! Loved the little mouse most xx

Hey neighbor.. I'm from Worcester... Nicola is awesome to watch and Tom too, they are unbelievable! Enjoy watching them👍🌞✌️
love your video very lovely and charming voice I could listen to you all day😊
I love the mouse and elephant!
The mouse looks like one of those Wade Whimsey figurines. I used to collect those from Red Rose tea.
What a wonderful journey with great treasures! I think the unusual pipe is a mummy pipe. Probably from one of the pyramids in Egypt no doubt.

Loved the change of scenery. Great video. I watched both yours and Toms. I love finding things too. Such fun.🇺🇸❤
The little girl doll is called a "Frozen Charlotte" doll.
The Vintage Fix thanks for the info! I’ve found some interesting articles about them!!
What a great lark! Beautiful variety of pipe designs. I love that elephant and cow.
The mushrooms at 22:45 look like fairy bells.
A lovely adventure on a 'not so lovely' weather day. Such a true smorgasbord of finds along the River Aire ... Tom is a most kind and knowledgeable man and certainly has some great stories and areas to find grand treasures. Thanks for taking us along Nicola....Cheers 🍷🍷👍😎

It’s such a magnificent area to mudlark... hope you go back. And so many finds.
I shall return!
The Northern Mudlarks just dropped a video with Tom. You all need to get together!
Diane Jobe , I do wish Nicola world do that. I know it would make Alex a very happy girl.
Thank you for your wonderful videos and for including scenes of nature. The mushrooms were so interesting!
PS if the Michelin Man did pipes he’d have made that weirdly one
Ha...my thought exactly!! Or a mummy!!
What a wonderful day on a river that moves away from profane people! You truly earned your treasures with the steep, slippery banks with their long wet grass!

Thanks Linda x
My, you are late ! I was almost desperate as I always wait for your video to end my Sunday...
yes Im sorry! I got the timing wrong!
Great finds! Love the history. Thank you for sharing ❤️. Tom's videos are calming while he finds the coolest stuff.. glad you had such a good time.
Tom's crested Tank and Machine Gunner are almost certainly made by WH Goss a well known potter from Stoke-on-Trent, who happens to be my many times Great Uncle!
If they were turned over, you would see the Goshawk symbol. In good condition, very collectible and valuable!
Wow. Thanks Derek! X
I just love your videos and history you relay. Thank you!!
"Who pushed her in. Little Jonny Thin.
Almost halfway in, by far my fave finds of yours ✌💘👍
A question to Nicola: How massive is "the storage" of your all findings and could we get overview of it sometimes?
Well yes, I have a lot to store. Yes, I shall do an overview - hopefully this year! x
@@nicolawhitemudlark Thank You for answering. Sounds interestingly good, like a plan if you shall.
I've recently started metal detecting and magnet fishing (hope spring will come soon;)and would like to go live mudlarking if I weren't here surrounded by thousand of lakes on a mainland :)
Keep the good content coming Nicola.
Greetings, you have a subscriber from Finland.
M.S.
Really excited, especially about the dolls and the blue bottle!
When you find things, you often say "I wonder who used this last." I often imagine a flood of British cursing after something was fumbled into the Thames.
Bloody hell! That's the third morphine bottle I dropped in the damn Thames this week!
@@Surveyed 🤣😂
This was really fun. Love your bits of lire and history. I also really enjoy watching Tom lark around with his voice I could listen to forever.
That teeny tiny mouse won my heart!
Jo Faye Walker - I agree. He’s gorgeous!
Yes, I think that was my favourite find!
River Banksy ... love it
25:04 A yarn-bombed pipe, (albeit in clay), lol. No? Or maybe a slinky pipe?
I reckon that was what it was...a yarney bombing, eh?
I like that you make knowledge and open up to see the world in my country. Thank you.🇹🇭🙏
Thank you Sarun x
