I Couldn't Believe what I Found when I visited a New Location! Mudlarking in Scotland (April 2022)

- When you visit a different part of the country and you didn't take your wellies because mudarking wasn't on the agenda but there is an amazing low tide!! When I opened my hotel window in the morning and saw a low tide stretching out for what seemed like miles and a vast expanse of untouched mud - I knew I had to get down there to explore! But I had no boots with me!! Sometimes you find the best treasures when you are least expecting it. When I travelled to Scotland for the weekend in early April for a party the last thing I was prepared for was mudlarking. Luckily I managed to find some boots (Thanks Jo for lending me some) and I took some of the hotel bin bags for my finds. What a fabulous adventure I had! And I found something I had not expected to find at all!
Thank you for watching.

My wife and I just adore your videos and we often comment on how articulate, enthusiastic, and nice you are. Keep it up and best wishes from California
Thank you very much ❤️

This was such a fun and unexpected outing in the mud. I was not prepared but luckily I was able to get some wellies and explore the vast expanse of mud that greeted me when I opened my hotel room in the morning. Congratulation to @JohnnyArt Pavlou who won the Tides book. Get in touch with me via my website tidelineart.com and I'll get your book to you. Thanks for entering everyone and there will be more giveaways very soon. Love Nicola xx
Nicola if you ever find another could I buy it from you. That bottle rocks.
What is the oldest thing you've ever found?
Yaya Scotland. Proud to call it my home.
Happy Easter! : )
Congrats to the winner! Tides may come, and tides may go, but where ever Nicola larks...pipestems will appear!
An Easter basket of happy wishes to you Nicola. I'm so happy that I'm an extreme early riser and caught you and Si mudlarking live this morning. It was 4 AM my time in the Adirondacks of New York state when you came on and it made my morning coffee even better.
ooh thank you for getting up so early James! xx
I got up at 4 am here in Toronto to watch too ! So I am not crazy after all 😄
With so many wine bottles laying around a beach, I can only think that it must have been a really good party! ;)
many good parties by the looks of it!
Someone may already have said this, but the old photo of the Robert Douglas horse drawn lorry is in the exact place the ‘ghost of Jamie’ shot was taken for Outlander, spooky! Thank you for another interesting video Nic!
I live in Savannah Georgia. Years ago some aquantince of my husband knew where to. dig for 1700's bottles from English settlers. He and I were so excited. It had been about dug away but we found a few bottles. Then the city closed it and built a huge building where it had been. Paved Paradise to put up a parking lot. Remember that song.
Yes, visit Scotland again! You must have a travel backpack just for emergency larkin', with Shoes for dancing, shoes for larkin', trowel, bag! 1962 wedding 💛 picture
Absolutely Cynthia. Next time and all future times I will be prepared xx
Beautiful Nicola. Amazing finds and history. The end brought tears to my eyes. You are such a beautiful soul. Thank you so much for your videos xx Teresa 🇦🇺💖
Although I am now crippled, I know the joys of finding similar relics in my past; but it might have been called "Dustlarking" as mine were found in the remains of 'Ghost Towns" and deserted Mines in the remote Desert areas of South Australia! It's amazing how many 100+ years old bottles I found from the other side of the World! However my hundreds of kilos of pottery, pipe bits, fob watches, ornaments, etc have now been handed over to my partner, as she uses them along with smoothed glass "gems" washed from where rubbish was dumped over local cliffs into the sea a century ago to form jewellery for her Business called "Ghost and Coast". However we still have some great beach finds from when we visited Mull more than a decade ago! Thanks for the interesting videos! Cheers from S.A. !
Dustlarking sounds fun ❤️
Even though there is no talent for art in me, I certainly enjoy your talents! A celebration of enduring love is the perfect punctuation for this episode. Happy Easter, Nicola and everyone.
Beautiful,sweet tribute to your friends. Brought tears to my eyes.Well done ,Nic!
What luck in the muck you had! Thanks for the shout out Mudbuddy!
She has the Gift doesn't she?
I love your reaction to the Ginger Beer! Matter of fact, I loved your reaction to everything you found "outside you comfort zone". You are amazing Nicola! Congratulations to your friends anniversary! There is no secret to a perfect marriage, the secret is to be willing to be married and committed.
The anniversary tribute at the end was absolutely enthralling. Beautiful. Each shard a piece of art by itself.
Thank you xox
It´s exiting to watch you lark and also very calming at the same time - nice outdoors. I can understand people getting totally addicted to larking...history, thrill and fresh air. Gods peace!
Another Fabulous and very interesting episode, Amazing finds, you Truly are an Amazing Lady ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
The tag with HTI is clearly a Mud Larkers warning tag. High Tide Imminent! Love the wonderful old bottle finds and I think if I received an old bottle with my name on it, I would surely smile 😊
Ah great. I love the tag suggestion! Ok I'll look out for a bottle with your name. What is it?!
Brian Jones hope your day is going well.
Always worth watching to the very end! Thank you, once again for a very enjoyable video.
Thank you Julia! xx
I just spit my coffee laughing at that pipe stem. Only you, The Pipe Queen, can go to any country and find pipes within moments of arrival! 🤣😂
What a beautiful country, I'm so glad you brought us along! I hope you have a great time there. Cheers! 😊💞🤗
Thank you x
Thanks so much for the shout out! Very much appreciated!
Hope to meet you next time you’re up this way. That green top ginger beer is stunning. We have a couple of Douglas ginger beer bottles - they also made stonewares! 😊
Great video - thoroughly enjoyed seeing you in our area. Willie, Sarah and Jack Spaniels. 😊 x
Thank you. I'm thinking of coming up early July for a week or so. Are you there then? Perhaps you cd email me nicola.white@tidelineart.com and I can let you know when I'm coming xx
@@nicolawhitemudlark that’s fab - just emailed you now. Willie and Sarah. xx
I'm constantly amazed at the things this girl constantly finds. I used to live in an older city in the US and there were a lot of 19th century Victorian houses and evidently quite a few people used to bury trash in thier back yards many years ago. We used to dig in random yards and found many old different colored bottles. My sister used to line them up on the window ledges in her kitchen and , when the sun came out the colors covered the kitchen walls. One particular bottle was sold to the museum by my sisters boyfriend. Evidently this particular pumpkin seed whiskey flask was a rarity and they were pleased to purchase it from him.
I loved this show, one of your best. Brilliant.
Thank you very much! x
Between watching you and Si, my love for stoneware ginger beer bottles (something I didn't know existed until recently) has grown immensely!
Keep finding great stuff and cheers from Missouri.
Mudlarking gear, don't leave home without it. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
lesson learned Dennis! I wont do that again :)
Happy Easter Nicola and a huge Thank you to yourself and Si for this morning!
Thanks Linda x
What an amazing day you had! You went out sooo far into the mud and were rewarded with that stunning ginger beer bottle :) We are keeping our diary free to meet up with you next time !! Thanks so much for the mention :) Nicole & Craig xo
What a sweet tribute to your friend's parents at the end of the video. I hope they are just as in love now as they were 60 years ago :)
Thank you! oh yes they are xox
I've only just started watching your channel. I'm stunned at the things that you find. It proves that one person's trash is another person's treasure.
Mouse ginger beer is traditionally served in Scotland with bubble n squeak 😝Happy Easter cheers Nicola 🍻
ha ha brilliant! x
😂😂
I caught you and Si at 6:30 am in the US. We were watching CZcams on his TV at his farm in Ohio and there the two of you were on the foreshore of the Thames. Fun to watch over coffee and Easter breakfast. Happy Easter to you both!
Thank you for watching!! X
Susan from Shelburne here. Enjoyable as always, Nicola, but I must add a special mention to the lovely tribute at the end. It was magical!
Thank you Susan! xx
I love the Douglas bottle and it proves you were meant to be on that beach at that exact time 😊 great video Nicola, as always 👌
Thank you Melanie! x
What a beautiful tribute to your friends, and great finds just waiting there especially for that special weekend. Soooo love the heart at the end xx
Thank you Christine x
Anytime I see a new bottle of ginger beer I buy it and enjoy the contents and put the new bottle in my collection. That one is a beauty.
Lovely surprise to see a spontaneous mudlark with fantastic finds in Scotland. 💛
So much fun watching you and Si, I caught the last half and your well choreographed dance routine! Maybe you and Si could do a monthly live episode.
Your Scottish mud looks like it needs a mud angel. 🤣
That was a really good outing Nicola, the location was an untapped source of interesting finds. Sometimes the best things come when you least expect them. You probably needed a bigger bag.
Thank you Samir and yes, I do. That day I simply didnt have a decent bag at all! x
I watch your live last nite Easter morning for you and and Si were having such a great time I love that y’all brought us with you on you walk about and played in the mud!!
Thanks for joining us Moneka! xx
Nice to see you are enjoying the fact you found your bottles instead of losing one. ;)
I could walk that beach for days on end, OMG, incredible finds
Pipes seem to follow you EVERYWHERE! I do love your enthusiasm when you find a treasure. It never seems to get old for you, or me either! Hope it was a great trip for you. Happy Easter!
“Oh myGod” my expression seeing the green top of the full ginger beer. Wow. That’s gorgeous. I haven’t seen a green top ginger beer. I’d say it’s my favorite find across mudlarkers in quite a while. I know quite a few mudlarkers who are extremely envious. Was the fragment front a tooth pasted or powder? Gorgeous spot. Well done Nic. Happy Easter ✌️💚🐣 🐰
Thank you! and not far wrong on the pot - but not toothpaste!
Your blogs are so very interesting Nicola, well done.
We loved the Scotland mudlarking finds. Scotland the brave and historic information. From us in California a rousing thanks.
Love the history on Gilbert Rae and the colour advertising was stunning.
Gorgeous ginger beer with a teal top. A wonderful find!!!
What a precious, precious gift for your long-married friends. Truly, 60 years is a huge milestone. This was one of my favorites of your videos (I love them all). Keep on finding stuff. I am approaching my 70th birthday and am not able to get to where I can beach comb very often. Your efforts keep my desire of the practice alive. Thank you, dear Nicola.
The Scottish shore seems to be surrounded with bottles, this is probably part of an old Scottish tradition, even when those bottles are water bottles....
It is always a pleasure following you through your videos wherever you are. By the way, it also keeps my English alive,
thank you Nicola.. xx
Thank you so much Didier! So glad you enjoy. And yes, lots of bottles. I will go back again! xx
I suspect that some of those lovely old wine bottles were actually Buckfast bottles and one of the bottles looked suspiciously like a Barr's bottle, perhaps even an Irn Bru bottle. Nice location change Nicola. You'll find the West Coast even better
you need to learn Scots too :)
I’ve collected ginger beers for over 30 years in Scotland, I can only imagine there was 1 whole stone ginger on the whole Scottish coastline and you found it! It’s a well known Scottish ginger beer we call a ‘Gilbert Rae’ in the mid 1980’s the factory closed down and during clearing, there were thousands of those ginger beers found in the cellars. 👍🍾
Thank you ❤️ yes I know I was sooo lucky!
Loved this lark! Great video!
Wow! Great finds😍
Congrats lovely lady your a wonderful “mudder” ! 👍👍👍👍👍
Fabulous as usual love you so fun xx ♥️
Thanks for video Nicola!
Re: Clear glass bottles; In infant school in the mid 1950's the classmate I was sitting with was drinking the daily third of a pint of milk through those old waxed paper straws. I could see something dark coloured at the bottom of the bottle, it was a dead mouse. He survived the experience and rose to a very high rank in the army. Thanks Nicola.
no no no that's awful. I would never recover from that!! what a shock and how disgusting :(
😳🤢 Omg! I’d never be able to drink something again without inspecting it first! Heck, I won’t even use the toilet without looking in the bowl first to make sure there’s no snake or anything else in there and that’s all thanks to the Ghoulies movie from the 80’s. I’d def be traumatized if the milk mouse happened to me!
Whoa! For real?! I had a dead mouse in a sack of potatoes here in the States. I couldn't believe I didn't see or SMELL it before I got it home! That was only 20 years ago.
@@IratePuffin Oh yes! The snake thing has bothered me for years. lol Not helped by the fact that someone in our town had that very experience. A boa popped up when they were on the loo. It was retrieved by police and named Harpic, after a brand of toilet cleaner that proclaimed it could 'clean all the way around the bend'. It had escaped from next door and gone through the drains. I have less concern now as we have a sealed septic tank.
Eeeeew!
Great video Nicola🥰
Happy 🪺Easter Nicola!
