The tin glazed blue and white ware you found last looks really modern in design...I would expect a lot of people see it and assume its mid 20th century.
I love that you share what you know about pottery identification! You have a weath of knowledge and you educate many of us. Thank you for the effort you put into your wonderful videos! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great to see out along the foreshore in London again. Nice finds. The Roman pieces are my favorites especially the blue tile w the scoring. Nice. Thanks for the video.
14:35 weve got tonnes of pete and pre historic tree roots etc here in Swansea bay. Thoes branches you have there and the blacking of the roots suggest they are well more than 6000 years old. I seen an article of news posted online ages ago about swansea bay and how old its aincent forests could be and for a brief moment it actually looked as if you were right there in swansea bay in the vid. Fresh lockdowns here so im in for a very long while now 😞😞. Seen some good finds youve nabbed in the vid too so well done bro.
The old half submerged veins of wood intrigue me too. I wish there was a portable carbon dating device that I could use to detect the age, it would certainly put a stop to my overworking imagination!
Such a fantastic experience, meeting you and Tobias, from whom I've learnt so much about pottery and mudlarking! It was a pleasure to have seen your finds first hand. One of my best outings on the foreshore to date. Hope to see you again soon! Mark.
So nice to see another video from you Richard! I was thinking the other day that we hadn’t seen you for a while. Great finds! Hope you enjoyed your trip! ☀️
Always enjoy your videos! Thanks for posting! So glad the UK seems to be fairy well enough to get people out on the foreshore again! Things are not going as good here in the US! .... sigh!!!
Great adventure today if I lived there I would probably fill my home I love shiny things and rocks definitely probably would pick up every thing because it’s fun to do
I've learnt so much from you Richard! I'm getting good at identifying the pottery before you say what it is 🤔 I was right about the roman pottery, Staffordshire slipware and cream jug this week! Now to go out and find some for myself! Thank you for another super video 💕
The Victorian edging you found is part of an architectural feature of buildings commonly used in a Belt Course which would have had the appearance of a rope around the building. I think the function of the belt course was to stop the water from high up running down the whole hight of the wall as it forced the running water to go out and drop off. Some were a plain protruding brick band but not for the Victorians love of the fancy. They have been reused as garden edging and are still made today for that purpose.
Welcome back, Richard. Great to see you again! That Staffordshire piece was awesome! Glad you are well. All's well here in Virginia (except the hottest July on record!!!) I didn't recognize that part of the foreshore. Stay well!
i love your videos, so much to learn!! when i was just a girl over 40 years ago in houston, texas, my mother and her friends discovered "thrift" stores, shops stocked by donations the proceeds from which benefit a given charity (all i can afford now, which is fine with me, they're more fun than retail). we had so much fun with the dishes!!! Russell Wright, (Mom especially loved their 'Iroquois' line), Jewel Tea, inexpensive, came to great great grandma's packed in a barrel in the 1920s, Mom said......the motley bits of Wedgewood, so very many others and of course the most fun collectible for us.......Fiesta Ware, each art deco piece a completely different color, the old stuff so superior in hue to the recently revived line. i so wish she had lived to see your ever so informative work. oh......i almost forgot Frankoma, a pottery made in Franklin, Oklahoma from the red clay of the state in which i was born; the Frankoma glazes were so very distinctive, very tactile, each piece an original. beneath those glazes were the patterns, wagon wheel.......Cherokee alphabet and so many more.......you inspired me to write this and i must thank you for the detailed and dear memories which came with it. my crock is raised to you, mr. Hemery, looking forward to more videos from you. p.s., ALL the other mudlarks i see quote you! with respect and gratitude, hunter peale
Thank you Hunter, for your kind comments. it so happens I work in a thrift store! We don't get much old pottery but I have picked up a few pieces in other stores.
great to see you back - we have learnt so much from you! xx
Almost missed your return to videos. Glad I checked so I didn't miss this.. Always nice to get back to "normal" activities.
Welcome back! Enjoy your brilliant and informative videos.
Wonderful to see you☮️🇨🇦
Glad you are back on the foreshore doing what you love - and we get to enjoy your visit and finds as well!!
Wonderful! Thank you Richard.
I find it amazing that you can always find a picture of whatever piece of pottery you pick up.
Aw! It’s just gorgeous down there. So glad you got back to the Thames! Thanks for sharing your day and finds!
Richard-good to have you back! I've missed my tutorials from your profound knowledge of all things pottery!
So lovely to see you back on the river. Love all the details you give. Great job. Thanks all the way from Melbourne.
Great to see you Richard ❤️🇨🇦

I’m also glad you’re back, and I particularly enjoy the whole examples you show with your fragments. 😎

Thank you!
I always enjoy your videos, Richard. Welcome back and thanks for the enjoyable day out.
Thanks, it was great!
Yay! Your back. :)
Thank you Richard. Sitting here with tropical storm raging and this helps me calm the jitters.
Hey I thought about you yesterday, when Nic White mentioned you. welcome back. I’ve missed your wealth of knowledge.
Thank you!
I was mudlarking there this morning and can confirm that shopping trolley is still there xD
You had a beautiful day out, and nice to see Tobias
There's also wood on the other side of the river in the same spot.
Great to see out along the foreshore in London again. Nice finds. The Roman pieces are my favorites especially the blue tile w the scoring. Nice. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the lovely outing Richard.
Good to see you back.
Good to see you back. Hello from B.C. Canada. Enjoy your commentary on you finds.
14:35 weve got tonnes of pete and pre historic tree roots etc here in Swansea bay. Thoes branches you have there and the blacking of the roots suggest they are well more than 6000 years old.

I thought they might be old as the sea level was lower then.
The old half submerged veins of wood intrigue me too. I wish there was a portable carbon dating device that I could
use to detect the age, it would certainly put a stop to my overworking imagination!

Thanks, yes, let's hope so.

I know, it's difficult to leave things!

I'll be asking you for IDs soon.

Those look like new wellies Richard. Hoping to get there soon myself, unless the second wave hits
Yes, brand new wellies, the old ones had a leak!
Welcome back, Richard. I must know....did you see the wonderful roman pot that Si Finds found?
Yes, a great find, and sitting there for long enough to become a home for barnacles.
Newcastle Breweries Ltd for that bottle stopper?
Great suggestion
Do you ever pick up interesting rocks Richard?
I did find a piece of lapis lazuli once, but apart from the odd fossil in flint, there isn't much naturally interesting in the Thames.
What happened to your audio? Maybe a voiceover next time.
