I so respect the fact you return things that are meant to be returned to the river for whoever it was meant for.

I’ve no idea how this ended up in my recommendations and I've less idea why I started watching it, but boy I'm glad I did. So much fascinating stuff, real stuff that real people used. Some of the pottery was staggeringly interesting, and how does a bullet break into pieces but all the pieces remained in the same place. However it happened it was a big piece of lead to hit anyone with. An absolutely fascinating video, made all the more fascinating by an expert who seems to have a true empathy with those who went before.

One of the things that I find most fascinating about your videos is the combination of random chance (in terms of what you will find) and the complete delight that you take in what you do. The mixture is delightful, and it appeals to my appreciation of history and everyday life. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us.

You know when a passing interest turns into a passion when you start googling "Mudlark ,Nicola White , Thames Mud,Ceramic shards"and you see it as another branch of Archeology and History and your heart sings when UTube suggests Nicola might be of interest .....and it is .Thank you Nicola you're a delight

How cool that a spoon from my home town ended up in London! I currently live only one block away from where the Genesee Hospital School of Nursing had been located. I am also on track to becoming a nurse myself! I watch your videos to relax for a few minutes in between by crazy work and school schedule. Thank you for posting such fascinating finds!

Bottle digger tip- soak bottle with dish soap, pour a small amt. of dry rice inside half full of water/ plug bottle, and shake until clean inside. Rice won't hurt the bottle, and cleans a treat.

Ha ha! I was just thinking - Nicola could make a random Thames necklace, adding found beads after each mud larking adventure, and then you said the same thing 😂❤ Each bead or couple of beads you add would be decided by the river, designed by river. You could get some plain beads and use them to space out each addition. That way you could see how many beads you had found on each mud lark. Ooooooo, I’m so envious, I have so many ideas for assembling finds. I just love watching your discoveries and hearing about any history you uncover in your research etc. ❤ I LOVE it, thanks for sharing your videos. So appreciated. 🙂🐿❤️🌈

Keep feeding your crow and he may bring you some treasure. They can be quit friendly and protective once they have adopted you. Hove a wonderful and safe holiday season.

I love how you always feed the birds and take time to film them...

Nice thought about returning the "tag" to the Thames from "Terry" Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Your videos are pure gold! I could listen all day

Merry Christmas Nicola. Thank you for lovely contribution to my life. I love your vids and look forward to each new one. I live in Australia and am envious how you can find such old relics with such ease. Hope you have a great New Year. P.S. I could listen to your gentle voice for hours.

Thank you and all the other mud larkers for your great videos. Have a great Christmas.

Beautiful, Nicola. That bottle is exquisite, as is the pipe bowl. As for the pottery with ‘tr’ on it, I think you’ve found the coat of arms of the Triffids, judging by the foliage! Merry Christmas, and may your new year be filled with intact clay pipes of rare design.
