- Out on the river at this months low tide looking for artefacts on London's Thames in Wapping near the site of Execution Dock. See real mudlarking and the famous tide along the historic docks of London. This is where pirates were executed, their bodies locked in a cage that submerged with every tide.
Chill Bill, I love to watch your videos, but, I have a request. Please slow the camera down when you move it. I get dizzy from some of your quick moves, especially when you're panning around. So, Chill Bill, I'm asking you to chill, Bill. Thanks!
Trying to do this..... you may notice it in later video.
Bill/Thanks, I didn't like to say any thing but I was getting the same thing as Laurene.
edit I see I have paused at 3.57 for that reason.
I was just about to say the same thing , I do not think they realize that some one els is watching ?
Yes! Please! We're missing what you're showing us.
It makes me feel cross-eyed. Otherwise good. Just slow it down a bit please.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and experience. Fascinating finds and observations along the way. Thank you, Bill.
Always good to see you. Thanks.
I can see I will not get tired of watching your videos. I love the little bits of history you throw in there while strolling around town or on the Thames. Thanks for sharing.
Love the history lessons included in your video
Wish we had the history You have in London. Thanks for sharing the adventure. Cheers.
I hope you see this Bill, I am saving up money to come to England and see you guys in action. I love all of you. Y'all are so much fun to watch.
I’d definitely be down there with you in the mud, but I would be (kind of in the back of my mind) concerned about toxicity of the sediments. I understand that the Thames was once so polluted that it was totally anoxic, as recently as 1957. It has rebounded wonderfully, but pollutants persist in the muck.
Nice vid Chill Bill! Creepy to think of the drama there at execution dock. Happy Hunting!
"If you had fallen out of fashion..."
*giggle*
Thanks for the ultra close-ups. Didn't mind we didn't find much. I felt like I was right there.
ace vidio ,,,,as usual,,,,and a great adventure you had ,,,,,,we found gold and silver this week in a ploughed field,,,,,was an ace day out ,,,i did a gold dance lol see my moves in our vid ,,,,good luck in your hunting we enjoy your adventures ,,,cheers
Nice day out Bill, you ought to get a little rake for hunting out there it will save your back!
I'm willing to bet all you mud larkers over there have at least 100 of those old antique clay pipes each...and those things are simply amazing my friend! Great hunts as always ..I love to watch the mudlark videos best of all i believe...i really like them more than the old coins people find because its amazing to think of the rough old peoples who smoked out of those old pipes, plus all the other neat stuff yall find..HH and great videos ChillBill!!
A good video is always a pleasure to watch with great pleasure!
I'm happy for you, my friend. Good luck to you
I wish there was a place in the states where you could look for old pipe stems and bowls...awesome video Bill....
Fantastic video. Thoroughly enjoyed minute.
Great video
At least you found the pub!
Not only that but London Burned several times in Black death times and WWII. Lots of London flowed to the river with fire hose and rains. Bless your hobby.
Great Excursion Bill! It's on my bucket list to go there mudlarking someday. My gr,gr,gr,gr. Grandparents left Allendale, Northumberland England and came to the United States in 1850
The evidence of so many generations before you. I've got to travel to the UK some day it very much interests me.
just be carefull of the chavs lol
What Douglas said :D
It ain’t what it used to be
I was in the very same spot last Saturday. Nice video
Its a great stretch to hunt.
Great video enjoyed watching
Dude...all due respect...
METAL DETECTOR!!!!
mine field
Thanks so much for sharing your videos they are very interesting Bill.
Imagine all the antique coins you missed because they were under a superficial rock and you didn’t bring a metal detector
What a marvelous resource. You are all so lucky.
Always looking for a something lol neat video with a few funny jokes mixed in. Thank you, subbed 👍🏼
This is funny to me because it's a tradition on my mums side every time we go to the beach to look for glass and blue ware. And my grandmother lived just off the Thames. I wonder if she did this too and that's why.
Really enjoyed that :) thx for sharing. Missing London!
London looks so wonderful. someday I will make my way there.
Great vid, thanks for sharing
DIITTO, LAURENE.............MAKES ME DIZY TOOILL CHECK BACK AGAIN TO SEE IF HE HAS SLOWED DOWN
I hate to think what standing in that spot 2-300 years ago would be like. Thugs used to throw their unconscious victims into the Thames, but they usually had time to revive and walk off it before they sank.
+IronheadOfScroteus standing there at low tide you can get a good idea of what it was like, but without the smell which I think would have been pretty strong.
Captain Kidd was a good example of good man gone bad for greed, Great video thank you GL/HH
+WyoMD Live a good life thanks
Anytime
Fascinating....really amazed at all the detritus left from 2000 years of occupation. Mudlarking along the Thames is on my "bucket list"!
+Mac Lager took me 20 years to get back. Its worth the effort
What an amazing thing to be able to do! Thanks for the great videos!
Excellent!
enjoyed watching you wish I still could get out
well guess I learned something new today........mudlarking........I always called it beachcombing cool..............thanxs for video mate.................
Hi, what times do the tides normally go out? And how long do they stay slack? Can't wait to get over in Oct and have a go! thank you as always!
different everyday. The PLC.co.uk have tide tables which will tell you. Google will get you there too.
PLA.co.uk
Chill Bill just found you from Nicole's channel!♥♥
That is a fun video. wish I could have dug some and drank some too. :) Loved the alley bit.
+chris fry I will be doing more this year. Glad you liked it.
Cool video!
+StefanrDetecting thanks
Your wife must love you bringing home broken pieces of blue ware.
That is so amazing, iron nails as far as the eyes can see.......Thanks Bill....cool video.
+MD Treasure Hunter Valley solid iron in many places.
What a wonderful idea, bet you can. Find all kinds of things
Our swimming spot, close to an old tourist attraction fort used to yield pockets full of clay pipe remnants and musket balls. The soldiers of the 19th century used to fire their guns over the water. Old coins only rarely. Of course we were of an age where the only thing a penny was good for was a penny's worth of candy! We used to scan the water 5 feet deep or so and you could always get buttons, musket balls, clay pipes. Can't do it now, of course. You'd get arrested. Back in 1960 nobody cared much. I think my brother and his friends used to sell them to the fort...so much per pound of musket balls.
Lovely stuff down there especially 10.30 - that plastic item!
I quite enjoyed that! Cheers!
Bill: oh look a rock probably from the 1700’s....ima keep that lmao
I think this is where a scene from eastern promises was shot
Aw you never took us in the pub with you. I was looking forward to that.
I would have definitely been reaching In those bars to slowly drag everything out if there's anything good then I bet it's caught up in there with all the stones
How did you get LICENCE from the London Museum for Thames Mudlarking. I thought they only issue about 7 or 8 per year?
Get one at PLA.co.uk
please could you slow down the camera when you move it. you found nails but could not see what you were looking at.
Hello from the States. Great video. I hit subscribe.
+trreb1 thanks a lot.
I’m looking at the rocks, shells and pottery. Lol
5.23 the brick with the h in the centre , as children in belfast growing up we used to melt lead and pure into these bricks making lead bars , as if they where gold bars , the h would have been seen in the bar .
Nice one!
You say you’re looking for a somethink. It’s not somethink, it’s something!
Would love to go on the Thames one day been promised but nothing came of it lol lovely vid enjoyed it best wishes :) you sound like my friend little john lol
+jackiesmiths Metaldetecting videos Hey Jackie, thanks. I always enjoy your videos. The way to do it is find a low tide using the PLA time tables. Check out the stairs that have access. Then off you go. Nothing really to it. You don't need a license to wander around and that is a lot of fun in itself. You don't need any special clothes, just stuff that doesn't mind a bit of mud. I go in trainers. With the tide table from the PLA which is online, any trip to London can be combined with a treasure hunt. :)
Wow !! Lots of 1600 to 1800's rubbishes in Thames
The amount of nails ive seen, if collected would be worth something as scrap metal :O)
Enjoyed that thanks for sharing
+Diggin With Dash happy new year!
I know it's not up to you but I think it would be better and easier if you didn't just leave the trash and keep looking because if you get rid of it you can see what might be under it. Plus just knowing that the shore is cleaner would be nice to most people. But I'm not judging you to each their own
DO you think that the large groups of nails are likely from deteriorated docks and piers?
I think the nails also come from lots of wooden items from drift wood, wagons, barrels, ships... you name it.
Great video!
+cojo metal detecting thanks!
Awesome! I have gotta visit England, just wish I had money to do it with 😟
Why are there so many old pipe stems & bowls there ? I know pipe smoking was much more fashionable in those days, but strange, I've never seen or heard of another place with so many in a given area.
+Texas Turner its a guess because no one can be sure, but:
a) if you snapped the pipe stem too short and they are easy to break, it made for a hot smoke so they pitched the pipe.
b) they were cheap so people treated them carelessly.
c) The Thames had massive traffic so huge amounts of stuff fell in.
d) Pipes are light and bright white so are easy to spot surface finds.
Must you move your camera so fast. I would have enjoyed it more if you hadn't.😐
THAT'S GOING STRAIGHT IN MY BASKET
Excellent video. I think you should hide at least a tiny metal detector in your sleeve. Maybe camouflaged as something else. Or just change the order, go into the pub first and slide down the ladder with the Deus later ;).
+MetalDetecting24 detecting is allowed. Its absolutely OK. You do however need a very small detector head to nip in and out of all the iron.
+Chill Bill - Thank you for the answer. I think you mentioned in your previous videos, that digging is not allowed anymore. I connected it with metal detecting, or maybe misunderstood something. But you are right. It would be a very difficult task. I've been hunting river banks this year and one of my viewers suggested to remove some of the small iron objects with a magnet. This may be a good idea, but I think, in your specific case the nails are not only at the surface, but at every level. Maybe you will find a solution.
You can dig a couple of inches and if you get a special permit you can go deeper. In practice, a detector is a good 3rd eye for finding surface finds.
+Chill Bill you need a licence to detect full stop.
+Chill Bill if you want to dig/scrape on the thames you need a licence from the Port of London authority. Its the standard licence. Without the licence you can only look at the surface by eye.
If only they would speak English. But very interesting artifacts - wish we had more history here in the US
you missed that poor little ship at 5.15
My deus xp would do well in that iron.
Nice video .
Dig the eroded spot and let stuff drop out ill bet you find some rather nice bits n bobs my friend..
Or bring a clam rake with you and do some raking on the shore.
You missed a ring, at 5:35
Interesting video although your camera work left me dizzy and almost sick to my stomach. Stop moving it around so quickly. Whew!
Nice video Bill what are the rules regarding detecting on the Thames foreshore,
i notice you were only scraping the surface, not allowed to get deeper?
+Michael Leigh 90% of the time I go eyes only. The rules are all on the net. Such a target rich environment often covering more ground is the way to go.
;) great video!
I really want to go back to the UK I loved it so much
Any idea what that dark gray "stamped" brick might be at 5:16 ? It almost looks like there's a decorative hammer or axe head imprint on it...
Looks like a beat up fire brick to me, but you never know.
If you keep moving the video back and forth that quick ,i ll get sea sick ,.
love the rounded rocks. wonder if any could be geods.
My 6th great grandfather was sent to America. I need to recheck the court documents to find the name of the judge
I cringed at 10:14. Hypo needles all too common nowadays. Safe digging to you, sir. Great video.
Your camera aim is on your hand more than object pointing at
I agree with the last comment, can you slow down between each find, thanks Bill
I wouldn't know what to look for.
Brilliant, feel free to come and see us x
Man I am enjoying your videos but ffs slow down when moving you camera it makes one dizzy
You should get yourself a little rake to carry. Otherwise neat finds. God Bless
Appreciate but camera darts around too fast, hard to watch
Maybe you should collect the metal scraps and make a sculpture.
Does some restriction prevent you from turning soil over with a shovel? I would love to do this some time.
+Satellite Weavers there is a depth restriction but you can go a spade depth in all but the most restricted areas like the roman foreshore. People do that. Patches of artifacts are everywhere though and you can scrape the surface every few feet with a chance of finding stuff and as time is limited by the tide that's what I generally do.
I wish I had known about mudlarking when I visited England
Oh, Geesh! Please pan slowly. I have motion sickness now.
Ahh judge Jeffreys he use to hang around here in Somerset also.😊
You move camera way too fast sometimes , although I find your videos interesting
Hi Chill Bill, first, happy new year to you, second, what is a - jibbet?..if thats how to spell it..thanks. G
+G. Jones technically a Gibbet is an instrument of public execution, in this case a gallows.
+Chill Bill Ohhh right, like the reconstructed gallows at hence the name - Caxton Gibbet in Cambridgeshire, haha i just thought was the name of the place... Thanks
Use a magnet in those nails and other ferrous items
Trouble is I cant keep them near any of my computing devices....
@@ChillBill1 imagine the finds utilizing magnet fishing. I do understand about the magnets.
Can't watch anymore. Feel so sick the speed you are panning the camera round. That's the first thing you learn when doing moving images!
