This lovely lady deserves an honorary degree in archaeology...what a huge body of work, well researched and enthuses everyone with her enthusiasm.

I was a Guardsman in London for many years and often looked out over the Thames from the Tower and pondered on years gone by, the History and the untold tales that she held. I find these videos a great way of putting a realisation in to those memories, so thank you.

I can’t even imagine casually picking up chain mail. I was thrilled to find a milk bottle from 1912 in my 122 year old house😂 What a lovely day in London❤️

Whenever Nicole says 'Can you see it?' I always think 'yeah, that long thing on the left.' And then inevitably, she moves the camera away and picks up a coin.I feel like a back seat driver.

I really like the kindness and respect with which you treated that discarded art. I hope the maker sees your video and values their work a little more highly. That was a lovely gesture, putting it where it would be seen. 💕

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Hello from Michigan, U.S.A. I enjoy your videos so much. You are an engaging history teacher to us all. The way you present your treasures makes history come to life...connecting us to time, place, and person of the artifacts. 👏Bravo!

That nature interlude with the cormorant and jazz was delightful. 💜
-
What a fascinating pastime, combining history, geology, biology, and lots of other ologies! And art work. Thanks for posting, Nicola.
-
I enjoyed seeing that one bird having eel for lunch. The Thames used to be an open sewer and now all sorts of native species are coming back. Outstanding.
-
I love Sundays and going on adventures with Nicola finding treasures in the mud.
-
Nicola that is the largest piece of chain mail I've seen found on the foreshore, what a find! And I love the leaded glass! No matter how humble its origin, a beautiful object of history. Kindly❤Dudley

Nicola, some years back my Brother and I where crossing tower bridge, and both of us tossed a lot of U.S. coin's, perhaps you will find them,cheers.

Dear Nicola, I'm a Dutchman and London is a bit too crowded and busy for my taste. But I love your videos. Sometimes you have finds which are very interesting. But to be frank, I also find it very nice to watch you mudlarking for a half of an hour before going to sleep. Your videos and your voice make that I get in a peaceful state of being and fall asleep soon. I do not want to state that you're somniferous, but I certainly fall easier in a deep sleep when I switch off the light. Thank you for your videos.

Your editing and production are just great and I love your passion and enthusiasm for your finds. This can’t be faked on a big budget show where other people tell you how to present yourself and your work. The genuine article. Thanks
-
I love old buttons. My mom used to have a box of buttons, all sorts, shapes and sizes. I used to love running my hands through them. Some were glass, leather, metals, and even the earliest form of plastic, I loved the iory ones. The box has sadly disappeared, I love the joys of your finds! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures!!

The Russian coin has an iron core hence the outer copper peeling away. Our modern 1 and 2p coins are made in the same way. The 2p that you found and left for a future mudlarker was starting to bubble with rust from the inner core.

Just over a year ago, I watched for the first time and learned about "mudlarking". And finding mudlarking is a thing, realized I had done it. Eight or nine years ago, while visiting a haunted lighthouse at Point Lookout, Maryland, my sister and I were on the foreshore of the Potomac River looking for sea glass. I have learned much since and would love to go back for another try!
-
Ah Nicola, it’s beautiful. England is so rich with history. I really enjoy these adventures, and thank you for taking us along.

Thankyou what a lovely mudlarking day ,I love watching your vids, thankyou for showing me London,it's where my father's family is from ❤

I never comment, however being in Lockdown 5 (Victoria, Australia), I could watch you for days on end. It really fascinates me the amount of history is over there. I know all countries have history, however around my area not so much. The research you do gives glimpses into the people who lived and you Nicola bring that back to life.
