A Nuclear Artefact found in the New York Mud - Mudlarking Dead Horse Bay with

When I visited Dead Horse Bay earlier this year I did not expect to find a chilling reminder of the threat of Nuclear War! It took me right back to my childhood and the anxiety I experienced about that very subject! At the beginning of May 2022 I took a trip to New York and visited Dead Horse Bay to go mudlarking. It is somewhere I have always wanted to visit since taking part in a small documentary about it a few years ago:-

For my first visit I met up with Merrill Kazanjian, a detectorist and mudlark who has the channel ‪@MetalDetectingNYC‬ . We had a fantastic day and I also had the pleasure of meeting the veritable Queen of Dead Horse Bay, Adele Daly. An excellent documentary has been made about Adele which you can see here:-

I also had the pleasure of meeting Jeff and avid mudlark who enjoys searching at Dead Horse Bay.

Thank you profusely to the family of Bob Luchun who allowed me to share information about Bob's ID tag and who sent me photos. Also thanks to Alex who provided me invaluable information.

We found some amazing artefacts with incredible stories behind them. This is a particularly long video as I didn't want to miss anything out. I hope you enjoy it. I'll be adding more info to this description later but Im rushing out now!!
