Check out this super old coin Mudlarking in London

Join Si and Rich with a cameo from Kev in their winter hunt in West London to find long lost relics. You need a permit to Mudlark the Thames Foreshore available at PLA.co.uk

[@TheTonialadd]

Careful with that cube! It might summon “Hellraiser”! Lol!

[@blukeblue1235]

I appreciate your devotion out there in the cold. Once as a youngster on a freezing Feburary I striped down to my chonies and waded a river channel to reach a gravel bar. Ended up soaked to my chest and didn't find anything. In still cold from that one.

[@Sifinds]

Bluke Blue That made me laugh, yeah sometimes you win and sometimes you lose... your clothes and find nothing. I don’t think I’ve been that unlucky... yet 😆

[@raimamohommed7518]

Beautiful video love watching u n your friends thank u

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Great to see determination and a bit of discomfort rewarded with some cracking finds. The education on the Jetton and the info about the Russian coin also much appreciated. What a great channel this is, love that funky little breakbeat drum machine loop too. Thanks Si.

Great finds and I love the history of the Jetton - learn something new every day!

Snowing here in Oregon, too. Glad you left when it started to thunder/lightening. Really great finds today, Si! At the wrap-up, I found myself asking out loud, "what's a "jetton?" and two seconds later you start narrating the history, lol! I've seen you and Nic find them before but didn't know anything about them, so thanks for answering my question! :-) Looking forward to the next larkabout!

I am DEFINITELY using those names for my next pets! 🐈🐕 I wonder how long it'll take them to learn them. How long will it take ME to learn them?

Hi Si! Hellow from Russia. So unusual to see ussr memorial rouble in Themse ;) when I was young these coins were in circulation, but quite rare. This coin was issued in 1965, it says 20 ears since victory in ww2 (over germany to be precise, in ussr they denied ww2 term)

[@mintea2779]

Possibly a darning mushroom for fixing woollen items? Si the stuff you guys find is do interesting and must give you a great buzz when you do find something. I would love to do this but I don't think I'd ever leave anything interesting there.

Wonderful video and finds! I would mount the tokens in a frame! I am learning so much ! I collect foreign coins when I can. I love finding things out about other cultures and people. Amazing the detail that still remains on objects after all that time in the mud!

[@robin2724]

Really great lark, I especially loved the ending where you display your finds on the record turn table. Interesting record with the break out center, I have never seen one of those. In the US we either had to use the little plastic inserts or buy a wide post so we could play a stack. So much history, so little time.

[@Sifinds]

Robin Thanks Robin! Something a bit different eh?!

That disc is the bias from a bowles ball. 👍

YVONNE WILSON Thanks Yvonne. Makes me want to adopt another cat so I can call it Hans Clawinkel (instead on Krauwinkel) haha

[@marydegenkolb9603]

Si, you are the best! I love the Jetton. I never knew what they were for, but now I do. I think that they would make great medallions on a nice chain. I have an acquaintance that does the UK metal detecting twice a year. And he also goes Mudlarking for a day. I will have to tell him to keep an eye out for a jetton or a cod bottle marble for me.

[@Sifinds]

Mary Degenkolb Great idea! I’d happily sent you a codd marble but fear the postage costs would be horrendous! Best to ask your mate I guess. Thanks for watching Mudlover Mary!

[@Sifinds]

Jungle Jay Adventures Yeah good idea... still puzzling us

[@cherylmatthews7172]

Si, in the US we call thunder and lightning in the winter like that “ snow thunder “ and usually you wind up with a couple feet of snow.

Mercmad would it not be more bevelled?

[@Mercmad]

@@Sifinds I am not sure but that is what they look like on the old hardwood bowls .I think they were glued in place and because the bowl isn't round like a bowling ball for 10 pin bowling the curved top looks similar to the adjustment weight on the sides.

[@untbunny]

I understand you enjoy the hunt, Si but seeing you shiver isn't fun. Lovely finds. Thank you for explaining the history behind the tokens. I have read the Port Authority mudlarking info and you threw me off stating only mudlarkers were allowed in yellow zone. I thought everyone must be permitted to search the foreshore.

[@Sifinds]

Rebecca Eddy What I meant and I probably didn’t explain it well is that Rich is a standard permit holder so can’t detect on the yellow section, but I can because I’m a full Mudlark (one of about 50 in the country). And yes, anyone who wants to search the foreshore MUST have a permit, which everyone in my vids does have. 👍🏻

[@untbunny]

@@Sifinds Now that I understand. Couldn't decipher the meaning behind saying he couldn't go into an area because it was for mudlarkers. Thanks so much for explaining as it is what I thought. Knew you were one of the "chosen few". Have a fantastic week.
