There is so much history still standing and scattered around England, it's to bad it is so far away! Thanks Simon for taking us along, I really enjoy your videos.

[@Sifinds]

My pleasure 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@pigoff123]

I wish I had visited more often. Was in Germany from 72 to 96. Should have traveled more

[@ktdid627]

I knew that was a Brinks truck as soon as you showed it. They are really recognizable here in the US and were pretty popular toy trucks. My brother had at least 1 in his toy box in the 90s. Also Tim's enthusiasm is contagious. love it.

[@colleennikstenas4921]

Yep!!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@juadonna]

Yep, Can confirm !!

[@patsutherland7284]

And Brinks are in Canada too. I figured that's what it was when I saw it.

[@JonFrumTheFirst]

I live near a Brinks facility in Boston (US), and see the trucks on the road regularly. They aren't truck builders - they use the trucks to transport money and other valuables for companies. Boston was also the location of the Brinks central facility that was robbed in the 1950s, as told in the movie The Brinks Job.

The old pub will be a lovely house - thankfully it hasn't been bulldozed. It was great to go ferreting about in the back garden, I wonder how many more treasures lie undiscovered in the midden? The shadow box you made for the owner is lovely and something that shows the history of the pub. Plus you have a new cat, has the old black stray moved on?

[@Sifinds]

Cheers! I have two cats 🐈 🐈‍⬛

[@mindthegaphj637]

Watching history being pulled from the ground never gets old. Whoever owns this pub will end up with a gorgeous home I'm so jelly 😊 The oyster shells are nice you can put some sort of decorative enamel in the middle, and they can be used for jewelry, coins, or whatever you like. Thanks for bringing us along, I love it.

[@Sifinds]

Great idea! Might try that

[@carolinewithers531]

I have a friend who paints Santa Claus faces on the oyster shells. They are so beautiful. Linda Tillman.

[@mirkatu3249]

KITTTYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! 😻 Your shadow box turned out really cool! What a thoughtful gift for the current owners. 🙂 💛

Wonderful display encasement. “Brilliant”. 😀 Beats just putting them into a bag or box or shelf. Was fun watching you all looking for bits of history. Perhaps you will revisit when the landscape is leveled?

[@Sifinds]

Let’s hope so 👍🏻🐾🧡

Nice thank you gift for the owner. and another good vid for us to watch thanks

I love the shadow box. It's a good idea !

[@Beth_D]

I want to come and save all the broken pottery from the mud!!! I love wandering around places like that! My kind of treasure ❤️😍❤️ Although I was impressed with the coins too this week, but I think that's more down to your beautiful way of presenting them! Speak to you soon lovely 😘

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Beth. Yes the coins represent the years of occupation. It amazes me the age of some of them! X

[@FindsByPirjo]

Great that they will renovate that beautiful old pub and give it a new life. Great idea to make the picture with the finds. Daisy is a very talkative cat lady and loves you Simon. Hi to Tim&Tim too! The meccano truck is cool and the brooch.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡

[@padraicodomhnall2760]

Really enjoyed watching that Simon and friends. The framed artwork at the end was inspired. What a friendly little soul Daisy is! 😻 Is she one of Nelson's mates? Thank you for sharing with us.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Paddy - they tolerate each other lol

[@michellejames9718]

This brought back memories of searching the flower beds at the back of my Nans old flat in Bletchley when I was 9ish I found pottery and bits of clay pipes and my Nan would give me a bucket of water and I sit cleaning them up lol with grands old tooth brush! I can’t stop watching I need to go back to that old flats garden again as a adult and look again!!! Amazing stuff Si!

So interesting to find all those artifacts in waste ground behind the pub. Just shows what is just laying about to find ! Very inspiring . always enjoy watching whatever you do and the art works you create too . Thanks for sharing .

[@carolinewithers531]

I live right on the coast of North Carolina. Evidently, my subdivision used to be a place for people to come and have an outdoor oyster roast. There are many piles of shells both on the edge of the waterway and back in the woods. Our tradition in my house is that oyster shells must go back in the water from whence they came. Love me some oysters!

[@scottgregory9672]

That one guy is so enthusiastic and happy. Bring him more often.

[@sarahyates6055]

What a thoughtful gift I hope they treasure it and display it in their new home

[@conken9615]

Tim looks so happy, what a nice young man

[@janenotley2733]

what a lovely thoughtful thing to do .I hope the house owner was appreciative

[@sallya.2412]

It is really amazing what you can find around those old places. Lots of coins to be found. Good treasure hunting there. Daisy looks to be such a loving sweety. A lovely old pub with some neat history there. Thanks Simon.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Sal! Yes it was a pleasure to search these old grounds! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@kinskifilms]

God, how incredible would it be to have that as a house. England is the most beautiful place on earth. Bill Bryson gets it. Can someone get me a visa!? I just started the video, but I know it's going to be great. Cheers Si!

Some cool finds here. It amazes me the amount of historical things you can find in places like this. Keep up the good work Si!

[@sheiladickerson5198]

Simon, I live on The Treasure Coast of South Florida. Is is called The Treasure Coast because of so many ships from the 1500 to 1800's were lost off our coast during hurricanes. Some ships have been found but not all. It is very common here for metal detections to take place on the beaches along the eastern coast of Florida due hurricanes washing treasures up on the shoreline. So, you must put The Treasure Coast on your bucket list!!!😁🥰

[@Kazza_8240]

I'd love to see Si do an international tour, a mudlarking roadtrip with his pals 😃

[@Sifinds]

Yes it's on my list!

[@SnowPink90]

Hi!! I'm so happy that someone is turning the antique building/old pub into a house. If it was me I'd be so excited!! I really loved the antique truck. When a child was playing with it in England, over in France they were getting ready to fight the Prussians. History, I love the subject, but I'm limited in knowledge. I love when you bring up the history of things you find, including the names of a business that made a bottle or a mug from a pub, say, in 1898. It's all so cool!! Your a very gracious person with the beautiful gift that you made for your friend. What a great idea. Thanks Si for another great video and I'll see ya in the next one!!😊🐬

[@sarahveness507]

Yes a new one to watch

[@matthewfocke5360]

A thoughtful gift with the photo of The Maidens' Head with mounted coins and token. The picture frame with laminated text on the frame is creative. Cool.

Daisy is a lovely cat. I could hear her purring :)

[@christinesbetterknitting4533]

Your side challenges of who will or won't buy the rounds of drinks after really add to the discovery suspense! Just think all those items were there when young Tim was playing on the ball fields years back. Always a delight to see you discover and descibe!

[@sarahpayne9629]

A very interesting video. Thank you Si. Daisy is adorable, such a friendly kitty. 💖

It was just yesterday I saw a full grown Brinx armored truck run off the road on a straight away and hit a tree in the broad daylight. Stopped traffic in both directions. You don't see that every day. He must have spilled coffee in his lap or something. Great video as always!! Was so glad to find this posting this morning.Keep up the great work

[@muppetbaby]

Awww your cat is adorable. I think Tim's find of what he called a Spirit measure may have been a miniature toy bucket and the holes on either side would have been where the wire was attached for the handle.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks. It’s actually from a caster

[@chrystaljane2255]

A grand job on the display piece Si. I bet he was thrilled with it :)

[@Mamachaps]

I think the 'spirits measure' might actually be a drip catcher, it would've hung below the spout on a sherry barrel of similar. I could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me. Love your videos, so interesting 😊

[@SmallWonda]

You know what the van is, Si: BRINKS - the bullion/$$$-shipping peeps in US! I bet you could spend a month there & not find all there is to find - nice old property, kind of a shame it's no longer a pub, but hopefully will make a smashing home for the new owners & they will be able to dig up all sorts of treasure!

[@yvonnepagan9912]

I knew of the Brinks truck too. It’s seen better days, but then again, so has all the stuff you found. What a great idea to get in there before it goes into private hands and all below will be forgotten, unless, whilst planting a tree or some daisies one day in the future a little trinket or coin is found. Well done chaps! Who would have thought that a teeny weeny glass tube would have survived all that’s gone on in that place over the centuries. You know, you guys should carry a spray squirter and a toothbrush with you EVERYWHERE. That dirt that you rub with your thumbs can do so much damage to coins etc whilst you are investigating! Just a suggestion……

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

Great video. What a wonderland to search! Loved the kids/locks tip! I'm plumbing for 'biscuit barrel lid' for that super handle. ;) That broach was looovely.
