- A trip out with the Mudpies - have a look at their video too.
Rising sea levels have left Roman remains buried in the muddy Medway estuary, where only the fearless can find them! Please don't try this without pattens, a phone, a friend and a good knowledge of the tides.
The Mudpies channel is Mudpies on UA-cam, follow them on Instagram @themudpies.
Lovely video Richard, we're both still smiling about that wonderful day out. We know so much more now about Roman pottery thanks to you. Can't wait for round 2 together on the Thames (it can't possibly be any muddier😂), Josie and Andy 😃 x
That would be wonderful.
Looking forward to that!
Thanks for the video Richard. It’s so fascinating by the story’s a fragment of pottery can tell. People will be like “it’s just a Peice of pottery, nothing special” but you Richard, you express yourself and tell the potters story. It’s so fascinating! Looked like you had fun in the mud & found some lovely bits! Happy hunting Richard.
Thanks Adam
You are a very intelligent man such great knowledge. Very interesting video
"The fearless mudpies" haha!
Don’t fancy your laundry bill great finds Richard love your channel
Your e book is a treasure in its self Richard. I enjoy your videos, I really enjoy seeing the pottery.
Awesome finds.
You are so knowledgable one day you will tell us the potters names !!!! Fantastic well done
What a joyful thing seeing the 3 of you together. Thank you Richard.
Glad you had an enjoyable day in amongst your Roman Pottery ; In the Mudpies video you had the broadest smile ; ) . Thankyou as always for your knowledge.
Josie and Andie are awesome. Love their channel.
What a great fun day! Very muddy...great roman pottery! Well done!
Great to see you out and about Richard, your knowledge of all things ceramic never fails to intrigue me.
Thank you!
It looked like you all had a great time! Thanks for sharing your mud, I mean, your finds!
I was glad you could meet up with the Mudpies--- whose chosen place lived up to their name! Amazing to see how old and interesting the Roman finds are ---thank you for all your knowledge...and a sense of humor to endure all that mud!
A hovercraft and a metal detector in those areas would be a blast.
Glad to see you out again. I love your channel and your knowledge about Pottery. Thank you from 🇨🇦
You cleaned up well, lol. Watched the Mudpies vid earlier and saw just how bad your incident was. So great to see you back. Missed you. All the best from B.C. Canada
What an adventure! And thanks you for taking us through time and sharing your wealth of knowledge. Great to see you and all of us quietly sneaking out into the world again shyly showing our faces🌻😕🤨😌🥰.
Can’t wait to see where you take us next. I’d love to see and old dumpsite dig again. Those are so archaeologically interesting.
Im glad see you again
Thank you Richard, I was really hoping you’d do a video about your bag of finds. I’m amazed you got camera footage after I saw your phone covered in mud on the mudpies video. Your stash is full of lots of amazing different examples and your knowledge of what they are and how they were made is superb. Awesome also as to how they are still out there after 2000 years and haven’t been ground down by tidal movements. Have a wonderful time getting out and about now lockdown is over 😃👍
Thank you Richard. Your vast knowledge is amazing. You really found some great pieces. Looking forward to seeing you out and about again soon.
Take care !! 🥰
Good to see you out mudlarking again 👍🏻
Nice to see you, Richard! The patten's serve very much like snowshoes! Take care from Ottawa! ☺🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
Thank you, I guess they would work in snow as well.
do you mudlark Penny - can we meet up ? I am Ottawa too
Been looking forward to this. As a Medway valley history hunter, it’s always nice to see folk hunting the same river. Luckily my creek isn’t that muddy!😂
It looked immense fun.
Any finds of note, Helen?
So glad to see you out again and enjoying the search for treasures! You were a good sport getting stuck in the mud and continuing on in the mud! I hope you get to go again soon! Stay safe and healthy!
Thank you!
It was wonderful to hear you teach! Thank you so much, for accompanying the Mudpies on their adventure ❤! It was our good fortune!
Thank you so much.
@@richardhemery6916 you're so welcome!
Having watched the Mudpies' version of this hunt and especially the end clip, I got a true sense of what you endured on this trip. But your positivity and sense of historical duty was amazing throughout that adventure. Such a good sport. Looks like you were able to find a lot of Roman treasures in all that mud. It made for exciting viewing and your round-up showed what amazing finds were found that day. Looking forward to seeing more of your forays to the foreshore and another collab.
Thank you!
Good to see you wearing make up, Professor. What a fun day in the mud that was. So many Roman you’ve managed to find. Great video.
So interesting and I say you last week on the mud pies clean to full of mud what fun 🙂
hi Richard, i watched the mudpies version of this and enjoyed the video and the great finds too :0) i also liked and subbed to you too :0) your identifying skills are second to none :0)
very good Richard ! i wondered where you were - excellent use of history, with those pattens. good to see combo of yourself with The Mudpies, out on The Medway
Glad to see you back at it Richard!
So great to see you again, Richard! Great video. Just amazing Roman shards. Interesting that the shell tempering and simple line decoration is similar to the Woodland Indian pottery shards I've found here. Thanks again and we're really looking forward to more videos! (And I'll check out the MudPies s well.) I hope you and your family are well!
Hi Tim, it is very similar in colour and style.
So lovely to see all those Roman pieces up close and in detail - thank you Richard! ☺️😍😍
Thanks Nicki!
You're an official member of the squelch squad! Thanks for the history lessons, as always!
Another great video keep em coming Richard 👍
Totally enjoyed this video. Fantastic
I adore Josie and Andy (especially Josie)
They are easily in my top 5 favorite mudlarking channels,they find,educate and entertain.
I have purchased loads of incredible cut down bottles from them.
In fact I’m drinking water from a great cut down cod bottle right now!
Always informative👍🤠
Loved this Richard! ❤️
Enjoyed your mud stomp with muddied WONDERFUL..pottery
Thank you!
Wow - great to hear from you AND you really did have a Amazing "opening day" on the mudflats....You were totally immersed ! Did you children laugh at their dad and did you return home with both boots? Thank you.
Yes, the Mudpies rescued my boot!
We were in awe of the pottery you were all finding in this amazing place which we know very well. We never travel out that far out so every piece was well earned by you all. Those mud shoes done the job.
A great muddy day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you!
Am I glad you are back!!!
Lovely collection and very informative. It was very brave going there, it's all we are told not to do in terms of health and safety during inter-tidal archaeology training lol. But it was worth it, museum quality finds.
Tolle Sache
Good heavens! It seems like you went through a lot on this outing.
I’m incredibly drawn to two of the black pieces - the neck and shoulders with the burnished cross-hatching, snd the platter base. It’s so easy to imagine their forms, by extrapolating the existing shapes. They must have been so elegant when they were whole.
Also very appealing is the Victorian piece with the stamped text. It seems unusual that each letter was pressed into the clay individually. It seems like there must have been some kind of die or template used mist of the time, because the wonky text seems so anomalous.
Thank you for your expertise and commitment to the hunt. I hope whatever vehicle you returned home in didn’t get covered in mud.
Thank you it was a great adventure.
The piece with the large pieces of grog would tear up the potter's hands. The smoother ware would have been prefered by the potters. I have been cut by grog before. I love seeing the pans used for salt extraction. Good book, Salt, by Mark Kurlansky is a great read! It is all about human's quest for salt!
Thanks Shari. Some of the prehistoric fabrics have large chunks of flint that would have been lethal!
I still think you guys need to film a re-enactment of the deep mud incident!
It would be '18' rated for horror.
@@richardhemery6916 - 😉🤪🤣
Nice to see you again Richard, your info is always very interesting. Here in Australia we don’t have many opportunities for fossicking and archaeology like in the UK. Do you know if the old Aust Ferry Warf at Aust has ever been excavated as there had been a crossing of the Severn Estuary there for hundreds of years until the Severn Bridge was opened.
Hi Ian, thank you! There are a couple of Australian diggers out in the dumps of the Gold fields, but you're right, Western artefacts are rarely more than 150 years old. I don't know if the Ferry has been excavated. Love to you both.
Missing your posts. Wishing you well!
Thank you! I hope to post some footage from the mudlarking exhibitions soon.
did Roman kilns look like kilns used by British peoples, do you know ? sounds like you have a black bird in your garden !
The kilns were less permanent than the later ones, normally a clay and wattle structure, the Iron Age and previous periods fired using a clamp kiln, which is just a bonfire.
