I suspect most of the bikes get chucked in off bridges and over walls, there are many in this area which wall off the river and make it so that it's largely out of sight, and out of mind. I do see some good progress being made away from mass consumerism, and towards eccological protection; but it's slow going... and there's already so much to clean up. What I do is small, but it hopefully inspires others to do a small amount too 🙂

A "Bottom on the bottom"! I love your commentary, you should be making Audio books, with that charming voice. Awesome finds, I love the blue and white ceramics. The dreaded Knotweed! New England is infested too!. My husband has to battle a patch in my neighbor's yard that is threatening to come through the fence. In fact there is a strip of it growing in a line through the middle of our neighborhood. We have it surrounded - manicured lawns and gardens and this in our midst. If we all got together, we could eradicate it en masse. I can just see it. I would play the "Giant Hogweed" song by Genesis on the loudspeaker from the little church, as we all march to our back yards with torches and pitchforks (for instagram and facebook) . And a backhoe of course, shoveling would be too hard.

Thank you. I don't know your circumstances, so I can't recommend giving it a try, but I'm glad you can get a bit of vicarious enjoyment from the times I film my outings. 🙂

Wish to be there!!

Thanks, me too... I think it might be about time for me to give that place another visit 🙂

Such a pretty spot, such a shame about all the rubbish

Certainly is a shame. I've only really filmed in areas I already knew rubbish would be though, as that's where the older finds collect too. I've plenty of very clean, devoid of rubbish streams and rivers around here, but they're rubbish for mudlarking videos. 😕

I’m glad to hear that they’re mostly clean but I understand the mudlarking desire for mess

Miss the sound of blackbirds, AND its true, they do sing in the dead of the night...

Hi Tom hoping this note finds you well and keeping sane. Watched this video again and still enjoyed it. Miss the river walk sounds and the views. How about your doing a reading of Edgar Allen Poe's "the Raven,"?! You would do it justice. 😉Hope you can get out soon👍

Thank you. I do intend to do The Raven one day, but I need to practice a lot; to do it justice I pretty much have to memorize the whole thing... and then I'd also want art and soundtrack to match it. It might be a while. 🙂 I'm going to be doing a few walk videos too, which will include river sounds... just not really allowed to do full mudlarking during lock-down rules.

Always make sure you dont take any mud with you as you can carry knotweed seeds out with you, there is a very big fine if it is proved that you have spread it to other places. My advice is to stay well clear of any knotweed. You have to remember if you take it home with you and it seeds itself in your garden your house will become worthless buyers will run a mile. Just a heads up your videos are very good and i enjoy them just be careful as there are big fines and in some cases can lead to a prison sentence.

Thanks, good advice. I walked through the river to get back, so should have washed my boots of any seeds pretty well, I don't think I disturbed any of it, so it's unlikely I knocked any seeds onto my backpack or clothes, but I'll be doubly careful and check in future.

some of the pottery you find could also make nice jewelry.

The path in woods at the beginning of the video looks almost like one of Moscow parks. Actually a few of them which are located on steep banks of Moscow river.

Good to know, I've always fancied exploring Moscow 🙂

The beach at 4:27 reminded me of Southport 😁

Might have to head over to Southport one day and see the beach. This is about 60 miles from Southport. 🙂

hi tom,im quite excited that we may have solved the mystery of the clay stoppers, my son just sugested they may have been to stamp the punts into wine bottles,we have sat a few bottles on each one to see and it seems he may be right.we found another one that seems to be made of something other than clay,or maybe its still clay but treated diferent,please can you let me know what you think,im hoping hes right as we also colect bottles.

I think the beat up round copper item would have been a laundry plunger used in a wash tub.

The tiny figure with the rounded belly is exquisite. Could it be a pregnent female? What a find!

Yes, I think she is portraying a pregnant woman, one of the most unusual figurines I've ever found and one I won't countenance changing with craft materials as I sometimes do... I'm glad you appreciate it too. 🙂

Thank you for yet another lovely walk in the English countryside! The winged bugs showed up well enough to enjoy. :) PS someday I'd be interested in knowing why you like larking. As an aside, have you seen the guy who fly's his plane to remote islands of Alaska to collect asian glass fishing net balls that wash up on the shore? I purchased a few...cheaper that taking the trip myself.

Thanks pbcoupons, I like larking for lots of reasons... the excercise, finding interesting old things, the free things to use in art projects, and the sometimes quite valuable things; getting out into nature and feeling myself recharge; the discipline and structure it's bringing into my work, and the diversion it's given me from something of an obsession I was growing with the theatre show that is current American politics. I have seen a few Asian fishing floats videos from Alaska... they're quite beautiful things, but I'd take the trip to Alaska myself if I could rather than buying a few; I've always wanted to go to Alaska.🙂

@pbcoupons Why larking? I'm old-ish now & infirm, but if I could go back in time there's only one thing I'd love to do again: sit by my stream in the fruited woods near where I grew up. Glaciers had brought down many beautiful stones and ochre, and it was a haven for wildlife. Tunnelized now and built over, it's gone forever... and barren :-(
