what brand are they and where can i buy them?

I live in markyate been here 37 years never heard the story of the cricket ghosts I've been in that pub countless times. But I'll certainly keep an eye out now lol. I have a theory that she buried her treasure and Planted one of the now huge trees on top to mark the spot. Now I've just heard the ryme turns out i could of been right! We used to try hunt for it when we was kids and mess about in the grounds by the church. I'd love to get in their with a metal detector. The water company are dumping raw sewage into it now by flamstead sewage works it's infuriating!!! I've pollarded the willow trees at that redbourne section years ago. Nice little section.

I’ve watched almost all your videos and really enjoyed them, as well as learning a lot about my local area. Such a shame they don’t get more views. I hope you keep doing them. Many thanks

I have only recently come across these videos. My grandad lived in castle hill road and worked in the quarries during the 60’s and 70’s. I asked my dad about some of these stories. Grandad having died some time ago. Apparently my grandad fell through the roof of one of the tunnels in his 14 tonne digger and it took several hours to get them both back out again. My dad told me the tunnels were only 100-300 yards long. That hole was filled with spoil from the chalk quarries and it’s unlikely there would be anything left of the tunnels now.

Great video Jim that made me laugh, over 8K views as well Jim nice one mate!

I think its a fake photo.

Be warned. The german boots do not have the metal plate that the american boots do so they are more likely to have a nail punch through the sole

I was living in Feltham in 1976. 86 Danesbury Rd!

We live in Kettering, Northants, we can see the River Ise from our house, now wondering if it was named because of the iron ore around here. We have a lot of local history of ironworks in the area so it would make sense. We've really enjoyed watching your videos, really interesting stuff. All the best Fiona & Neil

Why can't you open the one handed knives with one hand? Just wondering..everyone else seems to be able to including myself. just wondering.

Like every other "black panther" photo I've seen from the UK, that looks like a domestic cat.

Bril vid

Sweet item! Things stopped being stamped `Forign` in the late 1920s I think. Certainly not a cartridge case, that`b one helluva wildcat round if it was!

Nifty wee-sized bottle of metheglin we have you bringin to show and tell. Thank you for your sharing with the lot of us, my old mucker.

Very interesting

how clever is that

Ban it! it's an assault switch bottle opener..

Oh, and I also have a Guiness miniature. And no, I'm not going to open it and see if it's still drinkable. So don't ask. 🤣

I have one of those. As WC has said, it's promotional thing. From the 60s / 70s if I remember correctly.

Search - Skol novelty bottle opener/Vintage and one will pop up very similar but it's branded skol.

Oh that sounds fucking lovely Jim, lol. I like that little bottle opener, maybe it was made by a company as a novelty advertising beer bottle opener, I know sod all though mate, lol.

Evaporated milk in a coffee ☕ awesome.

Looks woke to me!!!

Nice video, that Leagrave cottage is that the one that was on Compton Ave?

Hehehe loved it I’m on my 3rd or 4th, the first bought by my uncle for me in Switzerland in 1974, I still have them all, worn out, last one bought just 2 months ago They are the best

It’s coming to something when you have to consider using a walking stick as a weapon!

I have an unused GQ Parachutes ones that were issued with some survival packs. Too rare for me to use 🤦🏻‍♂️

£16 in 1976 is over £100 in today's money😮

Brilliant, made me chuckle. I thought, Oh great he's going to slate my SAKs

😅 had me glued for the whole 4 minutes

Nice explore. Thanks 👍 🙂

Good video 🇬🇧 🇳🇿

Limestone-pits? here in Missouri those places become infested with poison snakes, in summer (thankx-4-upload-Sir)

great video jim we loved it getting loads of inspiration for our upcoming wild camping videos got a sub off us! will be looking out for more of your videos

Great wind noise video.....

Good to see you back in action Jim. Sundon pits is a great place to explore. Have lived in the village for a while and love spending time there exploring all the old lime works remnants. Hopefully bump into you there sometime. Happy New Year!

Great video Jim, ill be honest thst homemade mic guard did massively help though, youd have had no audio without thst id expect. Nice to see you there again, dont seem like 2 years. I have some cured sticks ready to go, might sort tgem out doon.

Great video mate, love a good pit or quarry to rake around in. Just subscribed from a fellow KZbinr 😉👍

It was us that was camping there but people.have destroyed it but we went there today and cleaned it up

Hi mate . I sent you them maps. That part of the pits is the oldest part. That part you mentioned is the original lime works you can still make out the old cart tracks and banks (narrow Gage railway) leading up to the bee hive kilns (I got a hand drawn photo done before the war). If you need any info let me know. Ps I still got your torch that I found up there lol

Thiers least 3 more well hidden camp sites like that one you found ha ha that was my friend you bumped into he mention it and said that jim nice guy

Hi Jim a was thier yesterday prob us you heard in the distance shame did not bump into you buddy.great video

That's the most delicious knife, I've ever seen. Happy New Year!

Nice to see you out and about again, hope your back get's better soon. 🙂 It's a pity that the Quarry Squatters left a mess. If they left things tidy when they left, I don't think people would have much problem with them. But few of these idiots ever do, and it annoys the locals. So they end up having the Plod paying them a visit and moving them on. Oh well, stupid is as stupid does as the saying goes.

Hi J,happy new year 😀.

I got great memories of the pits back in the 90s ,used to go ferreting there most Sundays ,it was crawling with rabbits.not many places left like that now ,Houghton pit was just the same until some conservation group took over and sterilised the place.i know a very irresponsible individual who released a Wels catfish into the lake back around 95.if its still alive would be a monster!cheers Jim.

oh man those squatters leave behind such a mess, what a shame thanks Jim

You’ve got quite a few of the ones I have.😁. I used to have a Safari which I sold in India back in the mid 90s, I was absolutely brassic. Always regretted it as it’s one of my favourites and you just never see them now, but happily, I discovered the German Army ones which are pretty much an exact copy, I also have two, one a Victorinox, and one, I forget the exact manufacturer, it’s an original though, not a reproduction, something like AML or similar. Never got any of the newer ones as I didn’t like the serrated blade. I have a Farmer which I got because of the thicker blade. My pride and joy is a Champion with the long file, never used- my father bought it and kept it in his caravan until his death in 2008. Also have a modern Champ, rather fancy a mini Alox Champ some day. I have thought about starting a knife channel my self, I don’t know exactly how many I have, it must be over 100 probably more. I have about 40 or so sheath knives of various types and way more folders ranging from ones that were my grandfather’s, and I think, his father’s, going back to the late 1800s, ones a beauty with horn slabs, a various blades, and it even still has a pair of tweezers although, sadly the tooth pick is missing, none of the blades are worn, it dates to about 1890s. Have some of my father’s and even still have my first ever knife, given me age 6, back in 1971!😁

Hilarious, a real LOL moment at the end. Nice collection too 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
