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

Dear BBC: give Nicola an 8-part series of hour-long episodes immediately - this is fascinating and she's as engaging as she is articulate! My new favourite KZread channel!

I second that!
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”! 😉🙂

Thank you. So glad you're enjoying ❤️
Being the first person to touch these things for hundreds of years, or even the first since the original owner, must be a real thrill.
Good heavens,for a moment my heart skipped a beat! I rushed over to my box of finds and gifts from you,I thought that the Bartman piece that you found was the one that you gave me!! But no,a different piece,and a piece that I am so very honored to have! Thank you,Nicola!🥰
"A million squillion years." Bless you, Simon.
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 find the chain mail most interesting. We don't see that in the US. I also like the "show and tell" meeting at the end of the day when you all get together over a beer and share your findings with the viewers. You're a great bunch of people!
The 5c square coin is from the Dutch Antilles, still in use in Curacao. Untill 2010 "dushi" Bonaire did accept the Guilder, but now has the US dollar.

Just discovered "you" and your KZread videos ... I am hooked. Love love love the pipes you find. Keep up the mudlarking ... I'll be watching.
Love the videos, don't sweat the wrinkles, your gorgeous

Easily one of my favorite KZread Channels. Keep up the amazing work!
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!
OMG, I loved this video so much! I can't think of a better way to spend a day than mudlarking with friends! Lots of love to all of you! Thank you for sharing your adventures and treasures!
What a wonderful way to find old treasures I come from New Zealand we don’t have the extent of history that you guys do. I love watching you and seeing the lovely things you find. I would love to come over to the UK and go mudlarking 💍

I know right Paeleolithic & Neolithic is too recent. Pity our rivers don't have more historical European waste.
Brilliant, when I come home from Australia I'd love to go mudlarking, it looks addictive ! X

Loved this!! Great to see Stephan mudlarking for the first time!!
Such a wonderful way to start the day! Great finds!
If I had a magic wand I would spend the rest of my days mudlarking with Nicola and her fellows. I am binge watching all the past episodes. Thank you all!
Mudlarking is invigorating. My new hobby and I absolutely love it! 😊💖
Mudlarking with friends! Makes it more fun finding "bits & bobs" I think! Great video! Always love seeing The Man with a Hat too! What fun! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video! Love all the great camera views, the music, the history, the comradery and the treasures found! How fun! ♡
I'm hooked! Found your interesting vids on here-and can't stop watching them. So much history there.Well done and thanks.

Very watchable, this was, complete with inundation excitement, moments of hanging suspense and a compelling soundtrack. Noose work.
Terrific adventure, three very amazing people together in one spot, well The Man with the Hat is now officially a mudlarker too, interesting finds, cheers for sharing, 💐👍🏻👏👏👏👏🎁💖💖🇦🇺
I am new to your channel and absolutely addicted. I love the way you give your viewers the historical context to your finds.
Lovely day out! - thank you for sharing it with us. ;)
I moved to Thailand 14 years ago, and this malarky has got me truly homesick..i did a bit of metal detecting..and traveled the UK selling my own craft works...those Thames pebbles are superb for pebble art. regards John.
Great video! One of my favorites, with 3 of my favorite tubers!
Be a good idea to take a magnet and pick up loads of pins at once, lol.
What a cracking film...two of my favourite KZreadrs (Nicola and Stephen) plus someone new to me, who I think I'm going to like too (Simon)...thanks so much Dave
This is great because you show the surrounding area and we can learn something about where you are.
Very pleased you are all enjoying 'Caribbean weather! on your mudlarking trip. Good to see you all together. Some fascinsting finds, although that chain-mail looks painstaking to make...Grwat days on the water
I have viewed your videos for a couple of years now and have always enjoyed them. I love history and you just don’t see the items you find in London in Indiana, USA. Very interesting always! I also like the new formats you’ve been using to present the Mudlarking adventure and explanation of the treasures you find! Thanks Nicola, and friends!
Just found your videos and they are so much fun, I’ll have to watch all of them. I like that you give the history of the pieces you find.
Went back to an old episode and really enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed that!! Loved the finds, history just waiting to be found. Many thanks.
Some really great finds. Really interesting video.
Excellent mudlarking. I very much enjoyed the music. Thank you.
Really enjoyed listening to the history and watching the 3 of you search out your finds. I just love it when you find boots! Treasures, all of them.

I am intrigued by all these little pipes you find.
A well earned pint at the end! Thank you for sharing your interesting and educational adventures. Well done to all!
Wow that Zeelandia coin is amazing... 1790's Dutch (Colonies, maybe Guyana?)

Utterly fantastic! Years ago I was on a crop circle tour in England, in a formation. My guide handed me a flint she'd found on the ground. I will have to locate it in my still packed boxes from moving.
Fantastic !!

Nice to see the three of you together.
I am here more to be close of Thames but also your artifacts you found excited me...love your videos and all your team!
The zeelandia coin is actually a duit from the provence of zeeland in the netherlands, found a few of them here in the netherlands myself, gorgeous condition by the way, beauty of a find
Great finds 👍🏼
Great video more historic finds really enjoyed it .
The chainmail is amazing.
This channel is amazing... I really wanna move there n do this
Thanks, I alway enjoy your videos.
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!
