Fantastic treasures found in the Bottle Dump! Searching the Mud with Nicola White 

I am embarrassed to admit that when Simon greets us with "Hello Mud Lovers!" I always hear "Hello My Lovers!" Cracks me up every time. You all found wonderful treasures and I also enjoy reading old newspapers. I see new art in your Etsy shop today, still waiting to see a pottery shard fish!

Listening to y’all talking about Harry Potter and other things makes me realize even more just how small the world really is. We all eat the same food and watch the same shows and have the same dreams. One large family all of us. Thank you for doing what you do. Love to watch ♥️♥️♥️

In a perfect world I can see myself on holiday in England all excited not for the typical tourist fare but a bottle dump. LOL :)

I told my friend that when I go to UK I was going to do some mudlarking. After I explained it they silently stared at me. They have no idea the joy that can be experienced while searching for a treasure from the past.

I absolutely love how you present your videos... They are very artful... I love the nature scenes, the explanations of your finds, the music, etc. Always a pleasure to watch... Thank you and hello from New Brunswick Canada!

Love you guys and you are having fun finding old "junk". The sadness is that it use to be part of someone's life and each find has a story left untold. Ms. Nicola, your story of how a message in a bottle changed your life is beautiful. Keep having fun!!!

She's the Guardian Angel. There are alot of paintings of her saving two children from falling thru a rotten wood bridge.

It looked like a nice time searching for long lost treasures. I particularly liked the newspaper from 1925. “Girl swallowed scissors while laughing” 😲

I think you need to revisit that "dump"...really it is a goldmine of treasures! Wonderful treasure day for you all.

You guys make a fantastic team! You're all so cheerful and positive even though covered in dirt. This dump trip was a nice diversion from the Thames, so thank you, Simon, and the Dump Divas for sharing your finds!

All of us are angels with but one wing. And when we find the friends with matching wings, we can truly fly.

Love all the figurals, esp the one-winged angel. Did some Googling on your pub bottle. In 1891, there was a Charles Harris, victualier, occupying the Prince of Wales Pub at 99-101 Willesden Lane, Kilburn. Seems to be consistent with the age of the bottle. Happy larking!

Such a joy watching everyone find lovely treasures! I could watch forever!

You can meet the loveliest of women in rubbish tips. 😂😂

Brilliant!! Yes, please, more of the Ladies Who Lark, no matter where. It was great that Anna even did camera work and commentary. Collectively, you all have a wealth of knowledge about the finds no matter where found. Always fascinating to watch the experts at work whether on the banks of the Thames or the banks of the Bottle Dump. Next time, remind Si that to really fit in he needs to wear his striped shirt, too. And I see Poppy was present and accounted for along with Jules. YAY! MORE, PLEASE! Thank you for sharing! You are ALL amazing!

I absolutely love that beautiful green pig!!!!!! Some really nice ceramics and the Boots bottle is nice and the tile looks interesting too!!!

YIPES STRIPES!!! GREAT FINDS ARE EVEN MORE SPECIAL WHEN SHARED WITH GREAT FRIENDS. THANKS, NICOLA

When Anna popped up at the top of the dirt pile it was like a clip from an old Mad Max movie....

this was so much fun watching your group finding and choosing to keep a variety of treasures, i ESPECIALLY LOVED THE PIG AND THE ORANGE COLORED BIRD. tHANKS FOR SHARING.

Nicola, what draws me to your uploads time and time again is your gracious attitude to others and your joy at discovering the items and imagining who used them and the story behind them. I don’t mudlark or bottle dig but I do a little beachcombing, so I know the thrill of discovery. Next week I’ll be on a beach with my eyes peeled for pottery shards and anything intriguing. Thanks.

Can I become a "Dame of the Dump" too? I ABSOLUTELY love your adventures at the dump!

1:20 When you said the "The first thing I've spotted is..." I really thought it was going to be a pipe! That pig is pretty neat though.

My Fav Show On RU-vid,Been Watching MudLarking For 😊 years❤

That was fun, love the pig, best find of the day!! I don't know how I missed this one, glad I found it! Have a great week!

I was listening to your friend speaking of beads. We use ice and salt. The salt works as an abrasive. You swish is around and around and it cleans really nice. It will not harm the glass. Soaking the glass for a bit will help before. This also works well for the inside of your coffee or tea pots to get the stain from inside. Hope this helps.

You and si finds are the perfect history hunting duo really enjoy watching you two

Thank you for letting us join your treasure hunt!

It's always a treat what women find interesting, beautiful and irresistible.

Hello guys; I looked carefully at the proverbs from the "Adagia" of Erasmus and I noticed that you discovered the one which was missing; here it is: "As time passes, all the dwellers of a dump will be appreciated either a green pig or a dragon as well as an angel". Thanks for sharing and have a nice mudy day.🤣🤣

Always a pleasure to watch these finds being unearthed after centuries of rest Keep up the great vids and epic finds thanks for taking us along,

what a happy bunch of diggers and what amazing finds...very envious of your productive day :-) Thanks for sharing a fun filled dig!

Its a Treasure if Mudlarkers! Thanks for all the new Instagram additions!

"The woman that can't be lifted" Brilliant! Love the olden days.

You have a very lovely heart warming smile that fills people hearts with joy

I spent most of my teens and early 20's in spring and autumn, digging up bottles and other items in ye olde dumping spots---in my case 2 deep ravines by my home near Albany NY, filled with mid-Victorian to Depression era bottles and household item---incl. a milk glass hen's laying egg, a very early screw lid horseraddish jar, a broken Dundee Marmalade jar exactly like yours---plus torpedo-shaped soda water bottle and an totally intact early light bulb---plus an 1860's coin, an old flat iron and a nearly intact elaborately cut crystal lamp globe. I had so much fun...and I learned about those long-gone 'neighbors' who lived there before me....and the knowledge that I gained from doing research on my bottle finds, later, got me a gig as a tour guide at the National Bottle Museum in Ballston Spa NY.

The old newspaper reminded me of one of my archives. I collect historical recordings from the late 1800's to 1969 (a few newer ones) of important events, news broadcasts, wartime news and military broadcasts. Often times when listening to them I forget that I'm listening to old time radio because many of the stories and events are the same as current stories and events. Many of the same locations as now, only the names have changed.

You are correct, Keeler's was a restaurant on State Street in Albany, New York, the capital city of that state. It was in business from 1884 to 1969 and a favorite of Albanians (no, not people from Albania, but the citizenry of Albany!) for generations

I'm in love with the pig!

All those bits and pieces were treasures at one time now abandoned in a rubbish tip, their stories lost for eternity. As a pig collector, I have to say I absolutely love that little porker you found. Congratulations and hugs from a hot and sunny Canada.

Such good finds over there! Oh that piggy is the gem of the day. Love it!

Love your green pig, absolutely lovely.

Try salt and vinegar to clean the inside of bottles. That is how we cleaned glass coffee carafes at a bakery I worked in.

Ohhhh I get it! You call these Bottle Dumps, because that's pretty much everything that's left in a regular dump from the era before plastic! Right? That is SO cool.

Hello Nicola, I'm on a long Christmas break...one of the few benefits of being a teacher...and been binge-watching your VERY INTERESTING videos. You have become my FAVORITE RU-vid Channel. I've watched many before. But I LOVE watching and rewatching your adventures & finds. I'm an amateur archaeologist and enjoy the history & stories about many of the items you find. THANK YOU FOR ALL!!!! I know you're gonna' think I'm crazy...BUT...do you believe in "LOVE" at first sight?? OK, probably not. Even-so, I gotta' tell you that I have been swept away by your friend Florence Evans. There is ??"something"?? magical about her. She seems to be a uniquely amazing person. Her physical beauty is obvious. But it radiates from within. Even in a pit of dirt, rubble, trash, broken glass, etc...she remains stunningly beautiful. Her lovely eyes reveal uncommon intelligence, a playful spirit, gentle kindness and a spiritual, empathetic soul. At this point...rereading what I've just written...knowing I've overstated my infatuation with the LOVELY Ms. Evans...I'll restrain myself from further commentary. Except to say that I'm more than sad to think I'll never meet her. She likely has a "significant other"...or...she's married. If-so & in either case, he would be a very blessed man indeed. You're very likely wondering "why" is this person telling me all this?!?! Well, because she is presented in your video and I have no way of contacting her myself. I have no access to Instagram. So, when you speak to her again...PLEASE...tell her "HELLO" for me...a "heart-filled" admirer. Respectfully & kindest regards, Ben

Splendid adventure and finds. I can almost hear the Beatles' song "Junk" in the background while you show off your various treasures. Please do more of these videos -- I'm hooked!

The dragon piece would make a lovely candle holder, planted to a base of a similar find or intertwined with driftwood to make a object d'art.

Nicola! - Absolutely delightful video. Loved that you had the whole "gang" (minus a few) assembled together. Great group pics at the end too! I am not normally a "bottle fan" but I do love decorative pieces such as Monica's perfume bottle at 16:20 & Flo's cranberry perfume bottle at 20:20. Also a sucker for porcelain, stoneware, & ceramic tile bit's & bob's. Great job everyone!!!

Great Roundup Nicola! I too love that pig, it's priceless! Many other fine collectables found. It's dirty yes; but somehow it looks cleaner than the Thames...must be the lack of mud. It all looks like fun no matter whether you're wet or dry! Haha.

Oh, how I wish I lived near you! I'd love to go poking around there! Your little piggy was a brilliant find, and the angel and dragon were awesome! And I agree, the bird was magnificent! Thank you for allowing me to accompany you vicariously! I love it!

My brother has been posted to Germany and is hiking and exploring on the weekends. He just sent me a picture via What's App of a German Vulcanite stopper he found. He didn't know what it was and I didn't know Germans used them. I'm trying to get him to go to Verdun. Awesome video! The newspapers are fascinating! I was talking to my friend who owns a pawn shop about a Tsar Nicolas II gold coin I want to buy, he went to the back and came out with a gold 1811 40 Francs with Napoleon I on it. It had Groz, visible only with a loop, inscribed in fine letters on the bust. Jean Pierre Groz worked at the Soho mint once too. And we Americans tried to lure him here when we opened our first mint in 1794. 😝Awesome video!

When my brother and I were little our mom would drag us all over to dig fir bottles. Good memories. Thanks.

A month ago I had never heard of mud larking or knew you. Now I can name your friends & I can recognize bottles & clay pipes, as you’re pulling them out of the ground. My husband & I were discussing next year’s vacation & I said I want to go to England, to go mud larking with Nicola & Simon😂 He said who? what?

Hi, I find it amazing that people just threw away such lovely things, your so lucky to find them, I've enjoyed every one of your videos.

How exciting it must feel to find the full complete pieces! So crazy to think of all the special antiques that get thrown in the landfills ..especially here in the usa where the younger generation doesnt seem to care about antiques or heirlooms..theyre choosing to be minimalist..yuck!

My idea of a good time! Thanks for sharing!

You guys are so lucky to find such a wonderful to place to dig. Thank you for sharing with those of us who love seeing finds but wouldn’t have a clue as to where to dig.😜

Always nice to be out with Si-finds. I followed the live stream. Again nice finds.

Flo’s lustreware viking ship is the base for a “Condiment Set”, that would have housed a salt and pepper shaker, and most likely a small lidded mustard pot. Probably made in Japan.

What a treasure chest of bottles, wow, fantastic finds and what a good crowd you all are sharing your wonderful hobby with us, MIND the overhanging bank where one of the guys was digging though!

This takes me back to my childhood in the 70's bottle digging with my Dad. Thanks for the trip down memory Lane. I've had a interest in treasure hunting ever since which is why I watch your mud larking videos. My house today is scattered with those memories still, bottle tops, poison bottles and stone ware treasure we recovered. I would gladly give everything I have to go bottle digging with my Dad again, happy memories. thank you

“Peoples life’s from the past “ ... Incredible finds ✨✨✨✨✨

This certainly has promise as a nature channel! Maybe start a new series on that since you are out and about with the birds and the bees so much. :)

I love your perspective on the history of items you find. It keeps me looking for a new video every day. You truly are a special lady. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Nicola, I am from The Potteries in Stoke on Trent and my Mum and Grandad used to work at Minton Hollins Factory, My mum was a paintress, and my Grandad was a joiner on the Maintenance side, And my Dad and myself used to work for Royal Doulton, I was a Gilder and my Dad like my Grandad worked on maintenence as an Electrician. That is an amazing find at the bottle dump, well done.

The rabbit pottery shard looks maybe part of a child's cup. I think the rabbit is from a series of children's books about Uncle Wiggley's adventures.

I am so jealous! It would be hard to leave once you got started! Looks like the perfect day to me!

This video was so much fun to watch ! I smiled and chuckled all the way through it. It was obvious you guys were having a LOT of fun. I'm totally hooked on your videos.

Yum I still love Rowntree pastilles! Great finds Nicola! I love the angel and the pig! Doll's heads are definitely spooky! 👼❤

Hi Nick of the Dump, the value of the items you find may not be great but you make them into priceless treasures. Thank you.

I wanna see you stick little fairy lights through the eyes of those dolls heads for a right spooky Halloween decoration!

Thrilling adventure Nicola, thanks for letting me tag along!

I’m spending so much time watching ALL of you videos, I’m obsessed!

Great finds , its wonderful that some stuff is still in one piece , very nice , i like , love from the great karoo

I knew a man who lost his life bottle digging. He was in a trench that he had dug, only chest deep but unsupported by any shoring. The trench closed on him faster than he could jump out and he suffocated. I also knew the friend who was with him that day, too far from anywhere to get help and was forced to watch him die with his head and shoulders above ground level. The man who died left a wife and two children, his bottle digging friend was never the same. Please be careful.

WOW! What a great dump, such interesting finds and all of you together, a pleasure to watch! Best regards!💐💐💐💐💐

I'm so glad I appreciate these things as much as Nicola does.

I would have to say , Mr. Boar is your top find!! Thank you for taking us along!

The boat held salt pepper and mustard I think ,,, another fab video Nicola !! thank you ,, LOVE your porker !!!

Nicola that pig was the great find of a day full of exciting fun and adventure. Quite enjoyable nicely done video can't wait for the next.

Oh! wow!..found this vid by chance, (a bit like the contents LOL)...thanks' for posting this...…...my dad used to go digging at bottle dumps when I was younger, (10-14yrs old.....i'm now 50yrs old LOL) and I always had so much fun.....he used to start a bank out and then we would spend the rest of the afternoon scraping and digging through it......I never did know how he knew where these dumps were but he always found interesting bit's n' bobs. So many happy memories with my dad doing this....Thank you...… X :O)

Thanks Nicola. Fantastic finds. I love the bits of research that can be done from some of them. The plate with the American (New York) restaurant that led to the advert about it had the most amazing chairs at the tables. Never have seen that shape of chair.Thanks again.💜

This place looks more promising than the Thames. Hello from Houston Texas. I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work!🙋‍♂️👍

Watching the treasure discovery makes me happy. I feel calm and peaceful. Thank you.

😮omg you guys were finding so much super cool things

Mum went to Yarmouth and all I got was this kitschy nut dish.

Amazing finds Nicola, I'm wondering if the piquant sauce bottle held an HP type sauce. I'd like to know how the fragment of the plate from Keelers restaurant traveled from Albany NY USA to that garbage tip in England. I live 90 miles south of Albany NY. Also the "poison" bottles. What the heck was going on in England that you find poison bottles galore? I was just wrapping my mind around so many pipes and pipe stems in the Thames and now I've got to reckon with poison bottles, lol. Good vid.

Hi Nicola, thank you for sharing your mudlarking adventures and educating me with your knowledge of your finds history

The twenties music spot on. Love it. Nice group of friends. Great show.

My Mother’s Grandmother’s family ( Nicholas Christian, of Episcopalian church) had Bourne family relation, Historical Society told me!

Cranberry glass was produced by flinging a gold coin into the vat of boiling glass,turning it pink!

That’s was a great video. When ever y’all get together it’s fun to see the different items you enjoy to collect.👍 .... And I got a glance of the bottle I have with the marble in it. 😎😃🤓😃

So much fun! And the outro music was perfect, I felt like I was in a speak-easy, listening to jazz and drinking hooch.

That was fun to watch! Glad all the girls got the memo to wear a striped shirt.

You find the coolest shite. America I don’t believe has that amount of cool treasures. I did not know about the poison bottle color and textures. 💜

Good friends and good treasures. It is amazing these things came from people we will never know and are snapshots of their life.

What a dump. And I mean that in the best way possible. Congratulations to all the treasure seekers on their finds. Who knew digging through a refuse pile could be so enjoyable.

9:58 How did that survive? I thought the rain would have destroyed it.

The Harris bottle from The Prince of Wales piqued my interest; when I was a child our closest family friends were named Harris, and the very first English pub I went into was "The Prince of Wales" on Old Brompton Road in London. OINK!

Completely amazing...one person's trash becomes our treasures. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

So many stories behind these lovely pieces. The pig is lovely, as is the angel and the prince of Wales bottle, and the dragon. Oh, and I’m jealous! Flo has RED bottles, 😕
