Mudlarking the River Thames London - Another mystery object

Nicola, your videos are the highlight of my day. I am disabled and not able to mudlark myself but if I could, I would be doing just that. You are fabulous at presenting the history behind your finds and educating the world about it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos and knowledge.

The mystery "bullet" is a primer from an artillery shell. Love the watches, it looks like the glass is still in the one that was on the right in the video, if so the dial may be intact on it as well. Great finds!

I find myself echoing DR’s words. At 70 years old and disabled coming online and finding another of your mudlarking adventures is like receiving a gift. The respect you show to those who previously owned these items and the environment is also commendable. Best wishes- (my friends call me db)

The more of these i watch the more I am convinced that the river bed of the Thames is nothing but clay pipes. XD

I watch your videos over and over again, you have such a charming and delightful enthusiasm about everything you find!! I love the time you take to find out what things are and where they are in history. You have the same desire that I have to be able to humanize your finds by placing them in the hands of their previous owners and understanding how they used them. That is my favourite part of history: how objects were made, who made them, what they used them for, who might have owned them, etc. Please continue to make your lovely videos, I certainly appreciate all the time you take to make them, research the items and share that information with us. You are a moment of joyful calm in a crazy world and for that I thank you...and again I do love your pipe extractions. Cheers.

These folding rulers were used a lot with sea charts for navigating. PS: great video.

Nice finds! Although Rolex had the contract to provide military watches, the watches themselves contained a Cortebertt’s caliber 526 movement and not an actual Rolex movement. You have both the A and B types. The B versions had white faces and no rings for a chain. They were made to be inserted in wooden boxes or holders in vehicles or boats. The A versions were black faced and were regular pocket watches.

The "fish" on the pipe bowl serves no discernible porpoise.

Great finds again Nicola your enthusiasm is heart warming and your love of history is great I always watch your videos late in the evening they are so relaxing,keep em coming

I wish I was able to go mudlarking with you...as it is, I will continue to enjoy mudlarking vicariously through you😄

Nicola , In your videos , you do something that I personally love to see , that not many detectorists or mudlarkers do !! I think that the most important part of A video is the wrap-up ! I want to see your finds cleaned as much as possible without damaging them , and then displayed in good sunlight or a bright lamp , up Close ! You do an Excellent Job at that and I Commend You ! Keep up the wonderful work , I don't miss any of your videos , Thank You !! Dirt Hawk !!

Oh, Nicola....this is a deliciously fine video...including the musical gallery and exit. Thank you so much for bringing me along!

Your house must be like Aladdins Cave full of treasures. I love when you research your finds and relate to us the social history! Why would so many military watches end up in Thames! Maybe they were thrown in on D day X

Mudlarking the River Thames: added to the bucket list. Your videos are so intriguing! To a soon to be history major, I quite love your videos! Thanks for sharing your finds!

Thank you so much. I watch your escapades with a smile from start to finish. Please do continue.

The pipe bowl with the sea creature is a dolphin.  We have them in Savannah Georgia as downspouts on the rain gutters on the river street.  They are to be good luck.  The large hook looks like a shutter hook to close shutters on the outside of the windows.  Again, here on the coast we call them "hurricane shutters".  Maybe you can look up the serial numbers on the watches and find the person whom they were assigned to.  That would be fun.  As always, your videos are such a joy.  Thank you.

Wonderful vid!! Ahh the music !! Between that and your honest excitement at the watches face and the sea creature pipe this video made me smile and giggle a bit ! Loved it !!!

My new favorite channel, love the pipes, think I will start collecting old clay pipes. I am from London originally , but have lived in Ontario Canada, most of my life. I am disabled so no mudlarking for me. Your channel gives me much pleasure so thank you Plus we don't have the River Thames lol Thanks so much for the way you present you videos, well done

I just want to tell you that I discovered your channel about a month or two ago and I've enjoyed it very much. You have a charming, easy-going narrative style and I really enjoy watching you make your discoveries and listening to you discuss them afterwards. So thank you for the great content. Keep doing what you're doing. Oh, and Happy Guy Fawkes Day. :)

What fun you are. I love your excitement. Thank you. I learn so much from you.
