A 17th Century Bearded Wild Man in the Mud - Mudlarking the River Thames with Nicola White
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Join me for a lark on the Thames foreshore and discover a variety of finds from 17th century modern day. 17th Century stoneware to 21st century plastic.
At the moment there is no mudlarking permitted on the Thames foreshore. The footage in this video was taken prior to the lockdown. I've been enjoying reliving it as I edit this video.
The Thames is like a giant liquid storybook and it holds within so many stories, both ancient and modern. On this video we find a beautiful chunk of 17th century pottery, some 19th century clay pipes and some mysterious items that I would like know more about. We also leave the swans behind for some parakeets living in a tree in my garden!
If you are interested in trying out mudlarking then you need a permit from the Port of London Authority. You can find all the details here:-

Thank you for watching.
You can follow me on twitter and instagram @tidelineart for more finds and updates.
Take care. Stay Safe.

Hi All! Please be reassured that the I Am Brett comment is an old joke. I've known what it is for a long while now but I'm glad it has put a smile on faces. Thanks for your super comments and feedback on the video. I have had a lot of comments helping me with "I am Brett". If you would like to see when I first found the infamous "I am Brett" - then here is the link to the video. However, it comes with a terrible finger nail warning. You have been warned. Love Nicola x

I LOVE it that the parakeets are there! I had no idea they could exist in the wild in the UK 😊 I wonder if someone had a couple of them and just let them go. How fab that they're doing well 😊
I know the cousin I am Brett Ms V Espa
@@howbizarre1081 Hahaha. Good one! :-D
Thank you Nicola love going on these adventures with you! I'm in New Zealand, it was so lovely to see the coin, a sixpence, and it has our native bird the Tui or also named Parson bird due to the ruff of white feathers under its chin, a beautiful bird with delightful song., do look it up. Sixpences were in circulation until 1967 when we changed to decimal currency. ❤️
I can understand the confusion. I once found a a name plate that said " I am Borghini", but I couldn't find any Borghinis in the phone book, so I couldn't return it.
Good day Nicola. I really enjoyed the opening scenes. If anyone has an interest, there is an old episode of Time Team where they recreate an ancient copper knot ring. I'm glad that you have a backlog of videos, we may be in lockdown for awhile. Stay safe!
@@tabbycat2691 ditto👍!! I've been watching reruns during self isolation.
@@juliet5114 same here.
I saw that Time Team also. They were copying an actual ring found in a dog. Nicola take it to a museum. You may have found the real thing. A Roman ring.
A dig not a dog.
@@tabbycat2691 Hey! That's great! Thanks!
You know,I enjoy looking back on your videos,to have a new perspective on things,now that I have experienced this.
It marvels me,because I know exactly where you are in this video,I was there,and I just hang on to the memory,the moment,a moment of happiness that cannot be described!
I'm so glad you had a wonderful time Charles. You'll have to come back of course xx
This Is What We Need To Combat Corona Virus Blues. !!!!!! Keep Them Coming Angel. Hugs x
Thanks Roger x
At 15.20,you show a Bartman piece that I now own,because you gave it to me.
My gratitude is never ending,Nicola.
I thank you,so dearly!
Thank you for sharing Nicola, I think the frog brooch is art deco from machining on the top bar, and the style of it. 1930s, 40s maybe. I love collection of bearded man jugs. The parakeets are so pretty, how beautiful. Great video !
Hello Ms Nicola1 Thank you for another lovely outing ! When lead toys are found it takes me back to my very distant childhood days in the 1950 s when a friends Dad used to cast them in several moulds from scrap lead ! We loved them ! Bless you ,take care !!
What a darling little frog . I wouldn't mind having him hanging on my shirt today . thanks for the amazing history on the Bellarmine jug . It's repurpose factors were superb for it's time . Your studio is absolutely fabulous !
I am here in Florida in isolation, binge watching your videos since I’m behind and cleaning up some of my beach treasures, shells and fossils while I do. I also like the nature you film. Of course here in Florida we now have all kinds of wild colonies of parrots & parakeets. I’m surprised you have them there as well. It has been interesting, all my photography friends are discovering the interesting things we have in our back yards to point our cameras at. :)
"Well its true I was initially drawn to the pipe, but then I noticed a monkey...." A wonderful opening line for a story!
D'Ann Sherstone 🤣🤣
FUDDLEYP JONES LOL!!!!!
Monkey looks like it is from kids game barrel of monkies circa 1960's
Thanks for putting the parakeets on, they are so beautiful. I was amazed when I first saw them on a London trip
The tiny little frog reminds me of chocolate frogs one could by when I was a kid. They were filled with sweet mint cream and were delicious.Love your videos
I could listen to Nicola narrate the construction of a shelf and be happy.
A winters day ,a warm fire, feet up,a glass of port and listening to Nicola reciting the telephone directory....Nirvana
chris quinlan Lol, sounds great to me!
I agree
Have you not seen her other channel? 'Making robust furniture from pallet wood' ?
william avery 😂 😂 😂
Now we need to see the baby birds when they start to fly out of the hole in the tree and please show your garden in next video
Oh I know Kenny. I am going to have to camp out next to the tree!
It's fascinating that some species of tropical parrots can not only survive, but thrive in our northern cities.
There is a beautiful film " The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill", about San Francisco's feral parrots, and a homeless musician who loved and protected them.
i just have to say i love every video sofar 9 left till the first one, love the way you show nature the things you find a heck i keep it short i am just hooked thank you and your fellow mudlarkers
Thank you Michel! I'm so glad you're enjoying them. Some of the very early ones might not be as good!! I learned (and am still learning) as I go along. Thank you for the lovely comment ❤️
As always thanks for an enjoyable episode to watch. Stay well Nicola and everyone else.
Thanks James x
Sweet little parakeets! Thanks for sharing! 💗💗💗🐰🐰🐰✝️✝️✝️
I adore ringnecks, they are lovely! They love peanuts and sunflower seeds! I have and have raised several parrots, but none were ringnecks..and hehehehe look at those sweeties nesting!! They very likely have babies in there or eggs, and the male is feeding the female so she can continue to sit on the eggs, or babies
Your parakeet pair are delightful! Thank you for a restful video, Nicola, and for showing us your finds! Happy Easter, my friend!😊💖
Thank you Nicola, a joy to watch☮️🇨🇦
Thank you for the adventures. Stay safe and I love your history in England
Am I allowed to suggest further UA-cam stuff to viewers? One way I've been coping with lockdown is by watching old 80s series like, The Witches And The Grinnygog and The Snow Spider, Tripods...all available on UA-cam. Along with Mudlarking videos!
Wonderful!..the frog was my very favorite piece you found...🙋🏼♀️🌻
As always love your videos. I can hardly wait for this virus to be vanquished and new mudlarking videos to come out. Stay safe over there. Staying safe as possible here in the States (Florida). 😘
Thank you. You too ❤️
Very cool video! Quite a nice pair of amorous parakeets! I love seeing you make those pulls on the pipes you find. Very interesting.
It's too bad about the toy soldier; perhaps instead of discarding him you could decorate a small box and have your very own 'Tomb of the unknown Soldier' I know you find a few of them every now and then.
All that aside, thank you for making these videos. They're great entertainment in these days of 'isolation'......
Lovely video! Gorgeous parakeets! Thanks for sharing!- Paige C.
My dad worked for English Heritage when i was growing up and at one point was working in St Albans doing structual restoration on a school built in the 1700's, one day he came home with a really ornate clay pipe and told me he had removed a lose brick and behind it in a little cavity he found the pipe still with the tobacco in it, the next day he took it back to the school and they built a case for it to be displayed in the school.
The pipes you find always remind me of that, a worker who accidentally bricked over his smoldering pipe or simply disposed of it in a creative time capsule like way.
What a lovely story!
I'm totally amazed each time you go out the history and age of the thinks that you find, fantastic!!!!! And stay well Beautiful Lady.. ;) The other half of the coin is the the love who wore that one. The male parakeets feeds the young, and bring water to them from their chest feathers. They likely have quite a clutch.
Love your videos...really look forward to them...a lovely escape from reality at the mo x stay safe ♥️
Thanks Ellen!
Lovely footage of those gorgeous parakeets! Thank you for sharing these lovely birds that I would have never expected in old Blighty! Cheers from Florida, where we have the cousins of these lovely birdies too!
Oh my god,I can’t stop commenting.
Parakeets are lovebirds.
Watch them love,while the Swans get all jealous!
😊
Thank you for videotaping the green parakeets, they are gorgeous and so attentive to one another. I enjoy the swans and various water fowl you tape as well. BTW I’m hooked on your pipes!!! And I enjoy seeing the various enhancements on them always hoping for more. ❤️🙏
Thank you Linda ❤️
wow! Another video with thrilling finds! clever lady xx
Another great video Nicola.
You look absolutely lovely ‼
Be safe be well.
Catching up on your videos in isolation. stay safe, always an education watching your videos!
Enjoyed this larking. Always love your shop area.
Happy Easter Nicola and thank you once again for such a wonderful video and round up and intriguing look at your ongoing growing collections of Thames treasures, The ringneck parakeets incidentally are in the midst of a breeding ritual, they practice feeding rituals prior to laying a single egg which the female on the left sits almost continuously depending on the male, the brighter of the two on the right who feeds her and she is reliant on him taking good care of her during sitting times but also it which strengthens there already manganous bonds for life which can be 15-20 years in the wild. other strains of parrots live up to 90 years plus and some of the oldest being macaws and cockatoos of which I have kept most of. They escaped captivity in the 1970's and have adapted to the British weather brilliantly so yes, invasive but a delight never the less. Take care and stay safe x x
Thank you!
The Man with the Hat would be able to resize your ring, or of course, most jewellers.
Ouch!!
Thanks, Nicola. I could just sit in your studio for hours. So many wonderful treasures! Also, love the birds!!!!
Amazing how you pick this stuff out among all of the yunk. Cheers from the US!
Stellar finds Nic! I especially like the jug ceramic face and the frog! Thanks for sharing and stay safe and healthy my friend! ~ Gypsy
Thank you Gypsy! x
I love this channel. Thanks, Nicola.
Thanks Demelza x
Love your videos! When lockdown is over, I can imagine all you mud lovers running to the Thames hahha! Keep safe!
If you put pipes out of mud, it is for me like a 2th Birthday, it is so magical. Sometimes the beauties make me tears. Greatings from germany Siegerland, near Westerwald😏
Thank you for showing your older videos! Loved to see all your finds. Stay safe and well.
I love birds. Beautiful
Stay well.... hi from Fort Macleod, Alberta Canada. I love watching your videos
I can’t think why anyone would be banned from mudlarking. It’s not as though you are going to meet anyone else down there and even if you did, you would probably be more likely to infect each other with some waterborne disease! Lovely film of the parrots. We have flocks of them come to my crab apple tree every winter. Your adventures are very therapeutic. Lovely to watch them.
another nice 30 minutes spent with nicola,thank you
Nicola, I love your videos...! I metal detect in America,but find it VERY FASCINATING to see the finds you get! Especially the complete clay pipes!! See ya soon! P.S...About the parakeets....One was FEEDING the other,but I'm not sure if it was the Father feeding the mother,or the mother feeding a baby....My parakeet knowledge is lacking!!! All the best,from your ''american fan club''!!! Mike Somerton
Imagine my disappointment at seeing the title and after watching the video that I noticed that I was not in the video at all. LOL.
ah sorry! what a tease that was x
What a lovely lark! I do love Bellearmine...
Love those pipes 👍
Been binge watching for a few days such amazing finds I would have done great in school if the teachers were interesting and interested in what they where teaching lol cheers to you ...
Scotti from canada
Thank you x
Great music, thank you for the video.
wonderful ,ove the parakeets,great vid.happy easter.
I’m completely new to this thing and this channel, never knew something like mud lurking exists!!! But your videos are so pleasant to watch ❤️ especially now...
Thanks Sandra
That was a good one Nicola I am back to work its nice to see and hear about these people who had made things to inspire yet your hunting their inspiration's to inspire our curiosity with your inspirational mind Thank's!!!; )
Those look like the Quaker parrots or parakeets flocks we have here in Austin Texas. Yes, they are also an invasive species here too, but less than in London. I say less because there had been parrots/parakeets native in the area before humans ruined the area for the natives.
Hi Nicola, so glad you had some videos tucked away. Your studio looked so cool. The parakeets were beautiful. Hope you and yours are safe and healthy. I’m well and so are my love ones. I pray everyday for the world and everyone in it. Happy Easter. 🐇🐣 Joyce from Connecticut,U.S.A.🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱. 🌎🌍🌏❤️❤️❤️
Nice knot ring, and lots of great finds.... always enjoy watching your videos for your finds and nature montages... I found it adorable how the bird kept backing up when the waves kept coming at him... it seemed to bewilder him. LOL. I cannot wait to see green leaves again... we just had a 25 cm snow storm last Friday... we have snow for days!!!
Oh my goodness. Snow! Keep warm. It hardly ever snows here
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art I noticed the lack of snow and I wish we had the same... LOL Here in Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada, we keep our snow for a while yet; however, I do love the change in seasons cause they are each so differently unique, but I do wish the snow would melt quickly. By now, everyone is pretty well sick of it and want it gone already! LOL
This video was a wonderful gift for Easte
Thanks Roberta x
Love to all my British mates right now. Please stay safe! 💖💖
👍😷🙏you have some awesome things there you stay blessed and see you again.
Thank you Roger
I like your videos, love seeing what you find, years ago I was metal detecting in a field, when I see a peace of pottery, I kicked it, then got a signal, which I dug, then looked at that peace of pot, there was a face looking at me, A very nice bellarmine jug face and still have it
fabulous!
I love your videos Nic. The music is so relaxing and so is your voice. The parakeets are wonderful I never knew there were sold parakeets in London, how did. We have wild Quaker parrots here in FL, also non native. Stay safe.
Wild
Beautiful adventure Thank you
Thank you x

Thank you Patricia. You need a permit!
Loved the video! Have a blessed Easter!♡
Every time I watch one of your videos I always want to know who what why when all these items finish up on the river bank Fascinating
sorry , couldn't help it ! .. spit coffee out my nostrils .. Haha. Was enjoying another , slip my chains - take me away video ,.. when you eyeballed an old pipe and exclaimed "will this be a happy ending"? .. and indeed it was. Thanks for taking me along with you. Much appreciation for your determination and creativeness .
Thanks. Glad to give you a good giggle!
I love watching you explore love you ♥️👍x
Thanks
Hey Nic, A little info on a couple of things; your little monkey I believe is a character from "The Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. The parrots look almost identical to the Red Crested Parrots we have here in the San Gabriel valley, California. The only difference being a small red patch on the forehead that our's have. Our's are concentrated in the Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia area. The ones here are also an urban myth, some people say that a few escaped a pet shop fire. At any rate people started noticing them in the mid 1980's and now there are over 3000. I used to live in Monrovia and I can recall their loud screeching waking up the whole neighborhood at dawn when dozens would settle in a tree. The Monrovia city park is famous as a place to spot them. They survive here because our winters are relatively mild and there are a lot of fruit trees. But I'm surprised that you have them in London where the surroundings aren't as favorable! Just thought I'd pass this along, and I never miss any of your wonderful videos.
Enjoyed the parakeets - I was so surprised to see them when I was in London last August on a trip with my daughter. Thanks for posting your videos - I constantly enjoy the content from Georgia U.S.A.
I believe the frog you found was a ‘clicker’ used by troops on D day to signal each other. It sounded a bit like a bolt of a rifle being engaged. The bar fits across the back and is pressed to make the click sound.
Love the 🐸, cool stuff.
Oh the parakeets are so pretty! Thanks for the finds and the studio tour! Happy Easter stay safe xx
Excellent! and your accent is wonderful.
Thank you
Great videos during lockdown. Stay safe x
You must be missing the foreshore like crazy...Thanks for keeping the videos coming.
The Frog looks like a Carnival Medal.
I do agree it's all part and parcel of life. carry on with the good work, and hope are all safe.
That was a very special ending Nicola. Watching birds feed their young is so relaxing. Gives one the chance to rest and recharge your batteries. I think those parents, were talking about laying more eggs!
Have a Nice Easter . . All's way and safe.
Don
Thanks Don. you too x
I love the old chain. I’d drag it all home.
Nicola white is the lead pipe finding wizard !
Perhaps you could find some old lead molds and recast some of the fragments. Then we could see what the old lead toys looked like new.
just to say thank you for your respnse sorry for the bad grammar shame on me a level english whent out of the window xxx
It’s the Royal Antediluvian Order of the Frogs!
Love it!
Thanks for the video. I spied some glass fish while you were doing your recap. I hope you are putting some on your Etsy shop soon. I've been checking, but I know they don't last long. 😔
The way that monkey's hands were hooked reminded me of the Barrel O' Monkeys game. I wonder if that's an older version?
Hi! Yes, I will put them on within a few days. Just putting some finishing touches to them!
Hi Nicola Lambretta is a motor scooter. the sixpence has the back of George VI's head.
Loved your video Nic and the pair of Parakeets were the 'icing on the cake' however ... it's not "I am Brett" ha, ha, it says Lambretta!! I'm sure someone else has pointed that out by now?! Also, I wonder if the ring is a Lovers Knot ring? Thank you again Nic ... keep up the good work (Mum xx)
Thanks Mum!! :). xx
They all look quite grumpy. . . My favorite dwarf-thank you Disney.
Awesome findings and information.
Really enjoyed n learned from your video
Stay Home stay Safe and healthy.
With Love from Guwahati Assam INDIA
Thank you Love to you too in India x
I believe the birds are Indian Ring Neck he’s romancing her. They learn to talk quite easily. Film them more please. I just found your channel and subscribed🤩🤩💜
How often do you managed to do the dusting in your studio Nic? Great video from the archives, we need your dulcet tones in these difficult times x
ha ha I dont agree with dusting! :) well as little as possible anyway x
You are going to have a better museum collection than Australia's National Museum in Canberra where I live.
