    At 18:55 when Nicola asks her what it feels like to find that...what would overwhelm me is the continuity across centuries. It's like, brushing fingers with the past. Some ancient had it in a pouch or purse type of bag. Civilizations have come and gone, but that is a whisper touch. What a wonderful experience. Thank you for sharing with us.
    Adding an edit because I meant to say that you look very lovely today. When we are with people who lift us up we all glow together.

  • @crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230
    @crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 Місяць тому +3

    I am so thrilled for your friend Kristina. Wonder! Coin! Wowzer! To hold something that old in your hand has got to be an amazing feeling. It could have been used to buy a family a loaf of bread, a chunk of cheese, or their taxes. Just knowing the age and how long it has been in the mud since being in another human hand again. I metal detect and bottle dig, but here in America, we are so young that we can never hope to find something that old. I did find a silver 1 Spanish Reale coin a couple of years ago, but the oldest we can hope for, typically, is 1600 to 1700s with coins. For bottles, I want to uncover an intact onion bottle. I have come across pieces, but never a whole one. I fell in love with the shape of case gin bottles after I found my first one 20 years ago, but none since then. I ended up buying 3 of them at an auction dirt cheap. Two are dark olive green, and the other is so dark it is almost black. I have many other antique bottles that if not on display all year round, come out when flowers are in abundance in the warmer weather. They get a few pretty flowers each and set upon my window sills in the sun. I never get tired of their beauty. I love researching my finds, and can't help but wonder about the people who last handled them. Especially personal items like jewelry. I love your videos Nicola!

    Oh Nicola! I’m only halfway through the video but I just felt I need to write this comment. Thank you for including Kristina! I’m your longtime fan and I’ve done some mudlarking on our beach and bottle digging on a local Victorian dump site because you inspired me to do it. But I was a fan of history since childhood and got really interested in English history since I moved here almost 15 years ago. But every time I say so people look at me strangely maybe because I’m happy to dig in the mud and soil for a bit of social history or maybe because I’m foreign. So it is so nice to see a fellow foreigner with the same interest being included and welcomed by you!

    Really stunning finds. I'm not sure I could have spotted the dog skull, and definitely not that lovely Roman coin. What a great series of stories about mudlarking. Fascinating to see the pipe mold, too bad they are so rare now. Great character Mr Gardiner is. Thanks Nic

    Missed your mudlarking on the Thames while you were across the pond although your adventures while there were and the lovely people you introduced was a very good watch, so happy your back ❤
