It caught my imagination and I have studied the ins and outs of mudlarking. I have followed Nicola for a while and she is wonderful. She gets so excited about her finds and does research on each little thing. It puts everything into context and she brings her audience into her passion. Thanks for such a stellar channel. It’s one of my favorites and I always look forward to new episodes.

That was such a good comeback about the Mississippi River. We sure asked for it. People, not getting their name back, they are not reported missing, no one notices, the cops don’t take the disappearance seriously, whatever the reason, it makes me very sad. I think being given their name back takes them from being curiosities and weaves them back into the the tapestry, it makes them fully part of us again.

So interesting (!!!) with the "mudlarking" hobby, cause this is a very old "occupation" indeed. I know from I think it was either in the "Worst jobs in History", from the Victorian era, or about the building of the sewers in London that eradicated the Typhoid fever from wells with polluted groundwaters from cesspits and such, after The Great Stink parliment. Where the tunnels from the sewers exited downstream past the city, various people had something like a day-job from finding coins and such between the brick-stones far down said tunnels. But it was criminalized at some point.
