AWESOME 350 year-old coin found Mudlarking! and much more!

[@milobarrowclough2786]

Didn't think it would be possible to find a copper coin that old, in that good a condition, really amazing.

[@willbejamming1532]

You are an artist in the way you reveal from the layered marbled history of the Thames the true and connective nature of your finds. Well done.

[@Furcorners]

You won! You grabbed the BRASS RING! Another excellent video with lots of science and world history folded into the mix! Thank you!

[@Sifinds]

Nancy Wright Thanks Nancy x

[@tereselapree222]

Love the dock hook! Blacksmith made. Looks to have some age to it. A coin from 1674! What a thrill! So glad the horses and Indians are all friends! The copper nail all coiled up was really neat.

[@dvillebenny1445]

Either a dock hook or a Hay hook to grab hay strings on baled hay or cotton. Its hand forged.

[@kevcox5585]

I've watched loads of you tube electrolysis vids this week and that was literally the simplest, most straightforward one I've seen. Thanks for posting that demo. Great coin too, an absolute belter 👍

That Charles 11 farthing is made of Swedish copper which is why it’s lasted so long as I’ve got one myself but yours is in much better condition so well done mate 👍

Beautiful video love it enjoying watching u n your friends pic up amazing things

[@debrabrooks6138]

We used a hook like that to grab bails of hay and straw. Rather than lifting the bails you grab and drag them where you want them.☺

[@georgiewalker1069]

Nice bunch of treasure Simon. I am a bit of a magpie myself, however, I live on a golf estate and my thrill is finding golf balls! I keep a keen eye for any lost items too, I found a squashed gold earring in an airport car park once and a stunning silver pendant in a church car park, after a funeral!! Enjoy your mud larking going forward 🇿🇦🍀

[@mirkatu3249]

Thank you for showing how you clean your items, I always wondered how it was done. You are not only a mud larker, you're a mad SI-entist.(okay that was a stretch). :-D

Love early milled coins they have a real character to them

[@buckinthetree1233]

I love watching your videos. My sister lived near London for a year while her husband was working there. I visited London and was fascinated by the history. It's so amazing the age of the items you find. The oldest thing you can find where I live would be 150 years old. Before that there wasn't anyone in this area. The people that settled this area of Texas were also quite poor. They grew their own food and traded goods for what they needed. Stay safe and keep up the great videos.

[@Sifinds]

Buckinthetree 123 Thanks Buddy!

[@marydegenkolb9603]

I just watched the video with Nicola and the bottles you cut. Great job and I cant wait to see more of the wood work and the imprinting you will be making. The brass ring might be from a merry go round. You grabbed the brass ring for another free ride.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Mary - I love that merry go round theory - awesome!

[@debbrabossier7284]

[@theresabraddock9310]

we clean copper bottom pots with vinegar and salt. seems safer than using electricity. also, using a mild sand paper or baking soda paste on a cloth and baby oil on an old metal coin or button just to clean the top most raised surfaces. you get an appealing readable contrast and takes off less material than the fiberglass brush instead of repainting to try and do the same thing. and way quicker

[@MrVxrman]

Great video Si 😎 Awesome Charles 11 coin you found Fore shore 🙂🍻👍

Well, Simon, you outdid yourself this time! The Charles II farthing is awesome! And the valuation was very welcome, as well! Children lose their toys, and I'm sure someone was upset at losing his two Indians and their ponies! And your hook? I could repurpose that into a hook to grab the kids by their clothes, to keep them out of the streets! :-) LOL. Thanks for a great video!

HI Si, I recently subbed and am enjoying your weekly videos. You find some fabulous items and explain things so well I appreciate it. This is obviously a passion of yours and I enjoy watching you go through the process. There are so many items that would look awesome as jewelry pieces i.e. pendants, earrings, charms etc the history/age of the items make for great focal points. I will keep watching to see what you find. Thanks for sharing :)

[@lisalorentz7919]

Thanks for taking me along on all your adventures, Si. Apparently, you're a great teacher... as about a second before you picked up the brick I thought, "Ah, what a nice Tudor..." I especially enjoyed the comments on paste stones (though I still wonder why they're called "paste" and not "glass"). Also, the cleaning tutorial was very well explained. Kudos!

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Lisa! They are paste because the different elements to make it were mixed together wet, thus creating a paste that was then harden. Thanks for watching! Si x

Fantastic Si - so many lovely finds & I'm so glad you have answered some of my questions - like what a farthing (or any coin) would have bought when lost - very glad the toys have been reunited! And enjoyed watching the refurb process - also when you did the bottles, for Nic, very interesting. Just wonder what will be next???!!! 😊🐾⛏🙀👍🚂😎

[@Sifinds]

Small Wonda Thanks. What next? I wish I knew!!!!

[@WildWestGal]

Great finds, Si!!! That farthing is gorgeous! Also love the lead Indian toys! They're depicting a Lakota Sioux Indian Chief in his war bonnet. That bonnet is only worn by the Chief. My great grandparents were pioneers in the Dakota Territories where the Sioux lived. And thanks for all the history and the electrolysis demo! PS - Love what you did with Nic's bottle... and the bowls, et al, that you're making from driftwood, very cool!

Greetings from Clay Co. Missouri USA! Nice finds! Especially liked the Charles II copper! To Americans of my generation they are still cowboys and "indians" Capt Hook! But I think you're right about that. Might want to check the "brass" pin again, if you didn't lose it @ 6:11. Good eye on the Tudor brick. But Marble to the left, cartridge above, bottle stopper, right???? Part of a trophy @6:31? You could make a " Best " find of the Year (month?) to award on special occasions to the "deserving " Your clean-up procedure @ 11:00 reminded me of something Ichiban Moto would make. Badass!

Wonderful finds! Amazing that the lead toy Native Americans were the same design and found on the same day.

U would say that is not a meat hook, but rather an ice hook, look on the bottom of the hook and you will find a splitting wedge of sorts on the end of it to cut the ice in to chunks. What do you think; were as, with a meet hook you would not need the splitter on the end of the hook as you see it there, it coiuld even be used for hooking small logs.
