Hi my name is Niki, my partners in crime are Robin, and Boris the dog.
I discovered the term mudlarking last year (2018). I have been fortunate enough to have been brought up by the sea, here in Edinburgh and down in the South West coast of Scotland. Since a little girl I have been bringing home finds from the beach so mudlarking seemed a natural progression.
We do both rivers and coastline, to varying degrees of success.
What I love about this hobby is the social history, getting little clues to a past way of life.

    Always fascinating! If only the bottles could talk: "After drinking me, they flung me in the canal, and here I am, 100+ years later!

    Fantastic torpedo bottle with the chunky Victorian writing! It must have taken some deep digging to research that one, but I'm glad you did. I like to know the stories behind these bottles.

    Apologies for the late comment; KZread doesn't always flag up new videos, and I missed this one. I get BBR magazine, and they refer to those bottles as 'round-bottomed cylinders.' I guess they would know the right terminology if anyone would. I've never found one myself - it's still on my wish list. That was a great find, and I loved the colour on that Tennent's bottle too.

    Aww, seeing wee Boris makes me miss my last dog, she was a Jack Russel mix. That dog was probably my most intelligent dog I’ve ever had, she was taught so many little tricks. The dog I have now is the direct opposite, not much going on upstairs! 😂 But she’s so affectionate and loyal, I can’t help but love her. ✌🏼❤️

    It would be lovely to trapeze around in creeks and streams and not worry about venomous snakes and alligators! Not so here in Central Florida, our saying here is to beware; there’s an alligator in every creek, river, stream, lake and mud puddle! And lately they’ve been showing alligators at our beaches, too! Just recently a person came home to find an alligator in their house, he got in by the doggie door. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Nice bottles! Thanks for taking us along. ✌🏼❤️
