I recently had the best ever mudlarking outing on a particularly low tide on the River Thames in London. From the moment I walked down onto the foreshore I spotted a special something staring up at me through the mud! And then it just went on from there. Coins, the LONGEST pipe ever and a really curious little token which I had great fun researching.

I hope you enjoy accompanying me virtually on this special mudlarking outing!

If you are tempted to try mudlarking, then you do need a permit from the Port of London Authority. You can find out all the info on their website here:-

We had a garage sale and had stacked a bunch of boxes full of broken glass and ceramic objects. An artist came by and took them off our hands. To us, it was trash; to her, it was treasure!

11:59 Picture an excited Mudlark 300 years from now "Oooh it's a shopping trolley! If we wipe off the handle we can tell which supermarket it came from!" Awesome video as always Nicola, that intact clay pipe was really special.

He is grumpy because the wine/beer is inside he is on the outside. When the wine is gone it's a witches bottle. Poor man I'm happy you brought him home. Great finds thanks Nicola

Nicola…thank you for being on YouTube. I don’t sleep well, so I watch you usually late at night when the house is quiet. I appreciate having you to be with me.

Aw, thank you Nicola for going out of your way to reunite that baby ducking with its mom. Your history finds are always amazing but there is nothing more precious than someone making a positive difference in the world they live in here and now. We need more people like you!

Absolutely nothing on TV beats this. How.lovely is this! Discovering historical items off the thames. The history Channel wishes they could be this original. 🧡🧡🧡🧡

The way you talk sometimes, especially at the start of this one, really reminded me of the type of random programmes my teacher would put on in infant school when they rolled the TV in for TV time. What fun and carefree times 🙂

I once worked at a bank with a change counter and one of my duties was to tend to it by taking out full bags of coins and removing (and appropriating, because no one said I couldn’t) objects that weren’t modern American currency from a catch at the bottom. I found wonderful things in there, including an American Civil War-era two penny piece counterstamped with the name T. L. Fletcher. It’s one of the neatest things in my collection and this video reminded me that I have it!

It wouldn’t surprise me if Nicole found Amelia Earheart’s plane some day.

Hi Nicola , still find it amazing that something as fragile as a pipe can lay in the mud and clutter of the Thames and stay intact,another amazing video 🌹❤️

Great finds Nicola 😊 !!! Nice clay pipes especially the very long one & I loved your friend's tiny clay pipe !!! Nice coins. Love the Bertmann bottle neck with the grumpy man's face !!! When you put him with the other 3 grumpy men faces I said "they are the Bertmann Brothers" !!! That was so sweet & darling at the end of your video of you holding that beautiful baby duck & was able to find it's mom & I absolutely loved that you named him Elvis !!! Elvis has been my favorite singer since I was a little girl around 8 years old !!! Really enjoyed your video Nicola !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙂

So glad the duckling was reunited with its mum. Great work, and some great finds on the foreshore too! Loved it!
