Of all of your videos, my favorite are the mudlarking on the Thames. I don't think I would get tired of watching them. So many little treasures there and each is so unique. Modern to very old. Hope you will post more on the river. Very pretty artwork at the end! Thanks so much I really enjoyed it.

I just LOVE the idea of mudlarking, one of these days I fully intend to come up to London and spend a day doing exactly what you’re doing, who knows what wonderful things are waiting to be discovered?

You and your wife are international treasures ....and inspire the sense of adventure in us all!

Finding thimbles yes finding thimbles giggling. Your vids make me chuckle. Tks for the upbeat thinking.

Love your knowledge of the art of mudlarking and your wife's talent. Quite chill, Bill.

Nice video and kool hunt Bill, would just love to do the Mud Larking just once next time I am up London even if it is eyes only surface pickings lol, with regards to the Gold etc being at low tide mark that is not entirely true as the beach or foreshore has it's own system of sorting objects of similar sizes into certain areas but however Gold, Lead & Iron sink faster than most other objects. I have found many finds right the way up against walls of Beaches and Harbours etc where everyone says it cannot be found there but it does. I detect many areas of beach and can say for certain that you will find coins or other artifacts further up from the tide line, it is just a fob off to make everyone search the tide line to leave the upper levels clear ;-)

I really enjoy all your videos. You are so British. If that is the correct term.

Sign of the Thames? Nice ending.

I so enjoy watching people make art. I don't paint much; but whenever I make my art, it takes much longer. I think I need lessons from Nicola, Zoia and your lovely wife! I just loved her painting of the Thames tideline! Keep up the great videos man and keep the girls busy. How do you manage to attract all those beautiful women? ;-) You're the man Chill Bill!

From my experience metal detecting gold nuggets in Western Australia for the last 35 years, the big heavy nuggets often dont travel very far unless of course its on a steep slope and thats over millions and millions of years, so there could be anything up top there? Trouble is its not being rearranged by the tides much to uncover more GOOD stuff..

Loved this video, more on the Thames Foreshore please Bill. I used to have a permit myself, but never found anything other than bones and pipe stems, so let my licence lapse. There was once many knackers yards/butchers along the Thames, a huge thriving business in the day, hence why so many animal bones.

I am dubious about detecting in areas with so much iron trash.

Chill Bill I don't know if you were serious or not. Your such a jokester! Lol. But Oh my goodness your wife's painting is beautiful. You said she not a famous painter?? She should be. She's a very good artist. Please tell her she should design for fabrics. I'm a quilter and the major fabric designer industry is a very large field and it's wide open for designers. Wow She must love to draw and paint, she had her pad and paint with her. She's very good.

Have you or anyone you know tried to get permission to detect the old Baron Hill Estate? There are quiet a few video's about the place. It would be a jungle to detect though.
