One dark and rainy morning on the Thames in February I found one of my best ever mudlarking finds which filled me with absolute joy!! I had set my alarm to get up for the low tide but the weather was horrendously rainy, cold and wet. I very nearly stayed tucked up in bed. I then got stuck in traffic and almost turned around to go home. Im SO glad I did get up and that I didn't turn around and go home as I would not have found this beautiful treasure!!
Thank you to Alessio (@london-madlark on instagram) for filming the delight. Thank you to Phil (@phillygumbo on instagram) for helping with the ID.
If you would like to try mudlarking on the Thames you do need a permit from the Port of London Authority so you can check out their website for the details:-

Thank you for watching.
See you soon.

Imagine the drunken person holding that bottle in one hand, with their thumb in the punt, as they drank from it, eventually finishing it, and chucking it into the river.

The chances of a glass bottle surviving intact for 30 years in a river is probably fairly low... for a bottle to survive 300 years in one is rather incredible! Brilliant find!

If you think about it, for that bottle to be tossed into the river, then buried by the mud over hundreds of years, then the mud receding and washed away enough to be able to see it to be excavated roughly 400 yrs later has to be an absolutely amazing experience!! Congrats, and love ya from California!

What a truly magnificent find Nicola. I am a Londoner also, but now live in Hampshire and have been a Metal Detectorist for the past 40 odd years, I have also done the Thames Foreshore a few times also, but when I lived near London. Whether Mudlarking or Detecting the Fields, I still get an enormous thrill out of it and, I have also had some truly amazing finds over the years. I am now retired, but suffer from bad arthritis and struggle to get out and about these days, but I do still try lol. I love yours and Si's finds and your Videos, so please keep them coming love ❤️

Nicola this has been a week of weeks. You are my favorite mudlarker, you have been for years and every time you go out I am cheering for you. When I saw the base of that bottle I was holding my breath and yelling and turning purple! I am so happy for you and the excitement in your voice was beautiful! Now I said "Week of Weeks," I follow an Australian Gold Hunter who is a single woman braving the Australian outback hunting for gold with her metal detector. She usually finds a few grams a day and is mobile with no home, just a 4x4 and a tent camp. She is brave like you. So her last three shows she came upon a good reef find that required a couple of friends to come and jackhammer it out. She found 5.4 ounces! Worth over 23000 AUD! She has a very nice trailer to live in while she mines. The two women I admire so much have found success in the same week. If anyone deserves a gesture from the universe it is the both of you. Blessings to you!!!❤️❤️

@webbtrekker534 2 года назад

Your "donut" is in fact a "Sheave" from a "Block" used on shipboard. Blocks were used for mechanical advantage in hoisting things like sails, small boats, cargo, etc. Part of a Block and Tackle system. The more sheaves in your block the greater the mechanical advantage. If you read the Diary of Samuel Pepys mens wigs became popular in the mid 1660's and are well documented in his volumes. In his time wigs were sent out to be cleaned and rolled. It wasn't done at home yet. Pepys is a very valuable resource for history if that era. He knew all the imporent people from Charles II on down! Being bead collector I have run into Uranium glass beads from the 19th century. They are pretty scarce these days but a few are still out there.

I live in an old town near the railroad. My house is one of the oldest (1836) in town. A couple guys that have a club asked to dig up old out house areas on my place. Because the railroad was so close they found bottles from up and down the east coast, some REALLY old. Some of those old outhouse pits were 15'-20' deep and were used as trash bins. It is a place to look if you did not know about them.

I love digging for treasures on the river bank at low tide. Years ago when the refuse tips were unregulated my friends and I would go tip raking. I found some fantastic items. One day I found a human skull which I believe came from a hospital or doctor's practice. I took it home and emersed it in bleach, it came up a treat. I wanted to put it in my bedroom but my mother wasn't having it, so I put it in the outside toilet. The problem then was that when I had to use the toilet the skull seemed to watch me and this rather spooked me. The skull was quickly returned to the same tip and can now rest in peace. It didn't stop me tip racking and I found many fantastic finds. Sadly those days are gone as the councils are very strict now.

Oh WOW! So, so happy for you! How incredibly exciting and fortunate. As a child in Australia I dreamed of these finds on Nth Stradbroke Island off the coast of Qld. I found bottles, pipes, and all kinds of treasures from a time, long past. I felt your JOY! WELL DONE NICOLA! 🥰🤗❤

Your excitement over the onion bottle was my favorite part of the video. When you pulled it out of the mud and I saw what it was, I squealed and startled my dog! 😄 #tidelineart

I loved the new onion bottle! I especially enjoyed the way you tied all of the Georgian items together and wove a picture of life in that time period. Thank you Nicola! #tidelineart

I have a Dutch onion bottle that was dredged from a river in Guyana in the 1970s. It's a transitional onion, dating between 1680-1720 and it's in perfect shape. To watch you pull up these earlier onion and mallet bottles out of the mud is making me jealous. Here in the U.S., the 17th and early 18th century bottles are usually found in very small numbers and almost exclusively at archaeological sites, going directly to museums after discovery. Same goes for the white slipware pipes from the 1600s and 1700s. It's a miracle that you pull those out of the mud in excellent condition. The ones with the smaller, acorn-shaped bowls are all 17th century. We only find the Victorian period pipes in dumps here, which are more ornate, but quite common. Keep up the great work!

Loved that you were able to find a fellow mudlarks to film you.i work with children and the enthusiasm they have at a great find is a once in a lifetime find kind of feeling every time. Never loose that feeling, Ms Nicola. Keep sharing your beautiful find with us and teaching us about the treasures you find. Hugs
