And when you ask them their dream find. I must say Malcolm s was the most specific of all.

I enjoy the searching that takes place on the foreshore but what brings those finds is the history that you and your guest bring to life. I love the quote where Malcolm Russell says for him "mudlarking is really all about using the objects that are found on the foreshore to understand people, to understand those forgotten lives that lived in London over the past 2000 Years." so much history can be found from tiniest, the unusual objects to everyday common items discarded over the centuries. Thank you Nicole and Malcom. #MUDLARK'D

BRAVO!!!! Two AMAZING people who make tromping through the mud the most exciting thing ever! Love it!❣️

Wow, fantastic history. Thankyou Malcolm and Nicola.

Great video! That Kynoch cartridge that Malcolm found was actually a grenade launching blank. A cup was fitted onto the barrel of the Enfield rifle and a Mills bomb would be dropped in with a rod attached, and launched into the enemy trenches with the blank. As for Rourke's Drift, the large British force that was sent to Isandlwana was wiped out and the Zulus that then attacked at Rourke's Drift were invaders outside of Zululand and against the orders of the Zulu king. And that battle was hardly one sided. There were less than 200 British soldiers of the Welsh 24th Regiment, many sick, because Rourke's Drift was a hospital and supply depot, and they had no artillery support, and were being attacked by 3500 Zulus who'd just massacred 1000s at Isandlwana. And the Welsh only had single shot rifles that kick like mules, fired cases would stick in dirty rifles, and each soldier had to fire hundreds of rounds each day! The British there also were familiar with what had happened to Custer at Little Big Horn, it was specifically mentioned, they'd read about it in the papers. Those men were fighting for their lives! They didn't expect to survive! More Victoria Crossed were given to the survivors of Rourke's Drift than were awarded to those in action on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. So, please, no offense to Malcolm, but his views on Rourke's Drift are misguided. 😊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

I love any history that pertains to the everyday lives of ordinary people. Which is why I find your mudlarking channel so fascinating.

With everything that’s going on at the moment, forecasts of doom and gloom, mudlarking is exactly what is needed to escape for a while. Thank you❤️ #mudlark ‘d

The pottery piece looks like it might be from a mid-to-late 19th century spirits keg/barrel, used to hold all kinds of alcohol from gin to whisky to wine. The royal crest would likely indicate the production company had a Royal Warrant of Appointment. There are quite a few examples online and it looks like there were several companies in London that produced similar items. Malcolm was delightful. I always love when you have other mudlarkers show their favorite finds. It's fascinating to see what everyone is passionate about. #Mudlark'd

I agree this is likely a Royal Warrant of Appointment - it’s possible it may even have been part of a plaque that would have been connected to a building that manufactured a product that had a royal warrant ?

Nicola White's mudlarking adventures has got to be the Jewel in England's Crown..so much more interesting than Antiques Roadshow! This episode was special to me for how many times did I go past Kynoch's on the top deck of the bus on the way to work..let me count the ways. I would never have known the link between Kynoch, Malcom Russell, the foreshore on the Thames and 24th Regiment of Foot, Brecon Wales if it wasn't for your fab program. I visited the museum at Brecon twice and watched Zulu many times (also Zulu Dawn) Eleven Victoria Crosses...Wow! Would love to win this book! #MUDLARK'D

As a psychoanalyst, yes, Freudian, I am fascinated by this fascination. What is the unconscious seeking? Are we looking for our childhoods, our parents, or to heal our broken bits? Finding lost objects does have a dreamlike quality. The stories that attach to the objects are narratives that help us make sense of the world. And there are severals advantages to an analysis: it is less costly, nature regularly swoops or wades into the sessions, and Nicola White actually talks to us. #mudlark'd

As a fellow scavenger to Nicola, I can say (entirely on my own part), that yes, you’ve nailed it. I find huge satisfaction and self-actualizationin discovering a sense of history. I have been diagnosed with BPD and have struggled with a solid identity I can hold for myself, and doing historical research has somehow helped me to at least place my sense of self within some kind of context. It’s not a cure-all, but it is somewhat grounding.

Your programs are one of the best medicines for my soul.

My daughter bought her dad a book on mudlarking for Christmas last year and she may have to follow it up for the 2022 holidays. Thanks for sharing. #Mudlark’d

Hello Nicola & Malcolm! 🎉🇬🇧🎉 Cheers! I enjoyed watching you and Malcolm explore the foreshore. It certainly was special that you & Malcolm both found the interesting pipe bowls, at the start of your mudlarking time together, during your visit. Malcolm and you, Nicola certainly have beautiful minds, to learn and then share the knowledge of the treasures that you find along the River Thames, sharing that insight here on KZread. It would, certainly be exciting to win the book that Malcolm has written. 🎉🇬🇧❤🇬🇧🎉🤞🙂

Mud larked. Nicola love nothing better than watching your finds but the history that you give with them is far better than the history learnt at school. You know what would be good for kids to learn is the respect given to the finds and the history of the Thames. And something they could touch and feel unlike in a museum. Well done for all the info and insight your finds bring us all. X

History has always been fascinating to me and looking through old rubbish that others have left behind is a very good way for one to dig into it. Your videos are so well done and very enjoyable. Thank you for all your time and effort.

I love hearing the stories behind finds - it really brings history to life! Thanks, Nicola and Malcolm! #MUDLARK'D

I like the wind, gives me the feeling I’m right there with you. Thank you for making me feel the outdoors and excitement of digging in the Thames.

Thank you Nicola for a fascinating series of videos. I came across you whilst browsing during the first lockdown and have followed you ever since. I really enjoyed your time in New York.

Beautiful episode! I think it's wonderful how you invite your fellow mudlarkers on, and Mr. Russell was particularly great to listen to. Have to wonder if that merchant's ring was thrown into the Thames upon the wearer's death, in the way that some legal seals used to be deliberately broken or marred when the owner died so that no-one could use them to forge documents (me, I would've had it melted down, but maybe tossing it in was customary, who knows.) The prison button was interesting; they remind me of filenames for computer files, they have as much info as possible crammed into such a small space! That chunk of pottery you found was *really* something-- anything that thick had to be from something really massive, maybe a humongous soup tureen? Must've weighed a ton, whatever it was! I feel sorry for the poor person who broke something like that, oogh. Thanks again-- that was a really fantastic episode. #mudlark'd

This was such a fun episode, Nic! I’ve really enjoyed seeing/listening to Malcom. Please have him along again! One of my favorite bits of history in the video was the medieval ring. I also liked the token he spoke about, as well as the bit of pottery you’d found and that lovely old key. I really, really would love that book and just might splurge on it one day if I don’t win. 😘#MUDLARK’D

Hi Nicole, I love hearing the stories about the items you find. I'm especially curious about the piece of pottery you found, with the lion and crown, I wonder what it's from. We don't have the age of finds here on the west coast of the US as you do in London. We have Native American finds, but unfortunately, arrowheads are few and far between. I look forward to watching you on Sundays, with my morning coffee, thanks for being there! I would love the chance to win the book on Mudlarking! #MUDLARK

I imagine that you will be adding that particular part of the river, to your places to hunt list! Listening to Malcom speak about his favorite finds, tells me that his book would be a very interesting read! But im already envious enough of yourself and your fellow mudlarkers to torture myself with reading about the incredible history laying on the shores of the Thames, as it is highly unlikely that I will ever go mudlarking there, so I will just keep being amazed and enjoying your adventures on the Thames! from my couch, at home in Australia! Cheers Nicola!

It was amazing to listen to the stories behind the finds! Handel’s Water Music is one of my favorites! I studied to it at University. Good luck finding a trumpet, Malcolm! #MUDLARK’D

A delightful episode! I’m a retired American archaeologist and grew up “creekwalking” along the banks the waterways of my home county. Our finds dates from the Woodland phases of local Native Americans to mid 20th century when state law forbade dumping in or along creeks and rivers. Prior to that date, farmers would put their farm dumps along accessible drainages so rains would wash garbage down into the creek. I know call it creeklarking and it’s a fun pastime during the fall to early winter and other dry spells during the year. Our finds are similar in type to yours, albeit much sparser. My favorite was the discovery of a late 1700s stoppered whiskey jug I found eroding out of the rootball of a sycamore tree located just at the water’s edge. It looked like some poor man had hidden the jug, or inadvertently it behind. #Mudlark’d.
