London Mudlarking near Execution Dock - Tudor & Medieval finds

Join Simon Bourne (Si-Finds), Stephen Auker (The Man with Hat) and moi as we mudlark along the Thames at Wapping near the site of Execution Dock - where pirates met their sorry end.

It was Stephen's first mudlarking outing and it was a beautiful, hot summer day. We found a lovely variety of finds from different periods of history, and Simon also bought a few of his impressive previous finds to look at over a beer at the Prospect of Whitby after our mudlarking expedition.
Jonathan Beamish of Local Colour was also with us for a while and provided us with some super drone footage. Thanks Jonathan!

If you want to try mudlarking, you do need a permit and you can find the details on the Port of London Authority website

Thanks for joining us. If you have any suggestions, ideas of comments- Im always happy to hear from you.
Thank you.

    Nicola! I stumbled upon your channel and I’m absolutely fascinated! I live in North Carolina in the US. We are happy to find anything that’s even 100 years old 😆. These objects from the 16 and 1700’s are truly treasures! I am definitely hooked on your vids and I will be watching! Cheers from an American “cousin”! 😉🙂

    Medieval/Early tudor bricks are often called "Clamps" named after the process of making them I believe. They are smaller than a modern industial age brick and worth reclaiming as quite sought after for repairs/alterations to listed buildings. Love the channel, subbed.

    I so love watching you all mudlarking around the Thames. I'm a historian & all the things you find just perk my interest every single time.The half brick, pins & later, the top of the Bellarmine jar I'd say were what was left of someone's dwelling & yard along the Thames after the fire of 1666, when the foreshore was farther out. I wouldn't be surprised if the pins were put in & buried in the very same jar that neck belonged to. The jar broke & after a while the Thames came in more & the pins got well,....pinned under some rock. Just a theory, but it thinly makes some sense of their relative locations where they were found.

    Great video! After mopping the other day, I opened the door to let the chemical smell out, and left it open maybe 20 minutes or so. Later that evening I was headed to the fridge for a beer and found a coiled snake in my kitchen! You think if I bury a "wild man" pot out back it'll keep the critters away?I suppose I could pee in the "Wild Man" pot! Animals are obsessed with urine and would likely notice! Look at Canadian made rubber boots on eBay or Amazon. Pricey but good! The best ones lace up to fit better. And... I've said it before, I'll say it again! Your voice, manner of speaking, and accent are beautiful!

    I grew up in a house that used to have a pharmacy in the basement in the 1800s. So we’d find old medicine bottles from time to time when we’d be digging/playing around in the back yard. And we found a whole wagon wheel once too. Like, horse and buggy type wheel. I was in elementary school but I used to love finding stuff like that. A peek into history!
