EPIC Mudlarking find for the Museum of London! A first for Mudlover Si!

[@brendajones9377]

I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the states. You know what we have on our beaches? Sand. We have sand. I get so jealous watching mudlarking videos!😂

[@IratePuffin]

I know! I’d die for the chance to go there to do this with them!

[@pjfoltz8810]

Me too!

[@0rluh]

I feel like you could find cool stuff in Maryland if you knew where to look. I heard there are old bottle dumps around the old colonies.

[@heycarrieann]

Brenda Jones NJ here. SAME!!!! I'm so jealous!!

[@roberttownsend8244]

Go to scientific cliffs by Chesapeake city!! You can find fossils and shark teeth and lots more!!! The Chesapeake has a very rich history!!! Do some research and you can find lots of places to search!!!!

[@gaynor3976]

I love when you tell us the history of a relic you have found. It sort of completes the stories. Well done Si xx

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

17:27 Hey Si, AMAZING FIND! 👏👏👏Definitely a Roman intaglio! That is the distinct profile of a Roman Centurion Trooper, with plumed helmet, cheek plates and plated, armored garments.

[@kalidescopekids]

Thanks for leaving the footage of the Gent playing the keyboard and singing. Very cute. Love the show. From the southern 1st colonies

[@kimmyjo13]

That seal is absolutely gorgeous!! I live in North Texas 🇨🇱 and I would love mudlarking the Thames, that is on my bucket list!! Thank you for sharing your awesome adventure with me! Love you guys! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

[@traygoodie]

I’m in north Texas too! I was talking to my daughter about mudlarking and wondering what we’d find here lol 🇬🇧 🇺🇸🇨🇱

[@arachanine]

“Thmaes” really got me

[@aliciakreisler3246]

Kat F lol

[@lilpipskweek6448]

That seal. It’s the ancient depiction of the Demi god Constipatio

[@Sifinds]

Lil Pipskweek haha Strainius plopidum

[@Noob0perator]

Wasn’t that intoninentia Buttocks, married to Biggus Dickus from Rome?

[@sixty2jeff]

That’s the seal of “Two Barrel Bob’s Your Uncle” ...the famous brewmaster with an arse so wide he could straddle two barrels whilst seated upon them.

[@tamarrajames3590]

Lil Pipskweek Perhaps it is Cloacina, the Roman Goddess of the sewer. She is pretty important when you come to think of it.😏🖤🖤

[@dustbunny3824]

Has anyone gotten back to you about the seal? Age or real names, ( I love the fun ones) It could be the seal of the Great Procrastinator..

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Nic what a lovely person she is another great video Si .

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Aw the old boy on the keyboard aw god love him i love far out people like that.

[@eba44]

Wow! That intaglio is just WONderful! I think if I found even a tiny fraction of what you all find, I'd just pass out cold in the mud! Cheers from Maine, USA!

[@iLitAfuseiCantStop]

Agreed! From Maine here as well! (on the coast about an hour from Augusta) & although I have a few good finds myself (2 pronged colonial bone fork, half a large colonial cook pot, what I think is an indian hide scraper, indian trade bead & pottery fragments) I'm always so jealous of his finds!

[@Sifinds]

Haha. Thanks!

[@ksully6551]

Hello fellow Mainers!

[@Teeveepicksures]

Boston here, these vids are fantastic! fully planning to do this (under the radar) at Fort Warren over summer and see what kind of stuff i can find.

[@Sifinds]

@@Teeveepicksures Hello Boston! Hope you get some 'luck in the muck'!

[@marybeth6272]

Great luck in the muck! Super finds! I also loved the singer at the end!!!

[@Sifinds]

Mary Beth Cheers Mudlover

[@carolynparrott4178]

I inherited my father’s button tools he used in a factory in OHIO;USA. Before I was born. They are approximately 95 years old. My treasure! I live in Kentucky ,USA . Many Divers use to dive for muscle shells in my state ,in one of the world’s largest man made lakes. Kentucky Lake. They sold them to Asians for other reasons. Long story. I like your videos.

[@lindaodellvt]

It must be your eagle eyesight, with a touch of luck, for you to find something drop dead amazing on most of your hunts. The intaglio seal is truly gorgeous! Very creative shadow play filming the type - you will come up with great way to repurpose it, Simon. Thank you for sharing your larks.

[@Sifinds]

Linda Odell Thanks my pleasure!

[@sharonwolfe5210]

That bit *was* gorgeous!!!

[@Punkinatrix]

Thank you for this video Si.

[@Sifinds]

Punkinatrix thanks. This was filmed a few weeks ago. I hope we don’t get banned from leaving our houses!!!

[@SmallWonda]

It is incredible something so tiny & precious can be found kicking around the pebbles and mud - well spotted indeed! Nice to think it could be Roman...

[@Sifinds]

Small Wonda fingers crossed matey!

[@carolyoung3793]

Oh wow I love the bottle seal and your stamp in fact I love everything found , I think I’ve learned more about history than I ever did at school tfs xx

[@marionbowler5440]

Hi Si, love your outings with Nicola. Keep having fun, and stay safe during these uncertain times.🇨🇦

[@Sifinds]

Marion Bowler thanks. Will do. You too x

[@bigkahuna6277]

Awesome adventure Simon, Great to have something to watch while we are on this virus lock down here in New Jersey. Thanks to you and Nic.

[@margaretwhyteman690]

It always amazes me how you no what these things are whether there covered in mud or not,just amazing x

[@Jeff_11B]

Dude at the end playing "Twist and Shout" was awesome, you can tell how happy he is.

[@lesroberts3226]

Always amazed to see history coming back to life, and how much you people know. However I think about the owners of the various bits and pieces and what their lives and surroundings would have been like. Keep up the good work.

[@PaganVegas]

Thanks!

[@Scriptkitty-sd8dp]

Little old man singing at the end made my heart happy. He was awesome!

[@theresabraddock9310]

Ive really enjoyed the music in all of your videos. Nice contemporary feel that just fits with your personality and all your finds and adventures. Love that you included the adorable entertainer at the end!

[@rhondasisco-cleveland2665]

Oh MY GOSH!, I love the older gent. He's fabulous!!

[@grittykitty8005]

Always some amazing finds ………. and love to see Nicola in your videos . I found your site by watching her videos . She's such an Artist !

[@piggiesparadise1991]

What an amazing find si, I can't believe u saw it as its so teeny tiny. Congrats si xx

[@Victorialands]

A little funny... I just started watching your videos not long ago and the first few videos l thought you were saying, “hello my lovers” of course l came to realize it was “mud lovers”. I still hear it from time to time. 🥴🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@juliet5114]

I really needed a good hearty laugh this morning, and your toilet referrals on the intaglio hit me just right😊🤭😂🤣. And that glass seal🤩, what a stunner!! And a perfect replication in the mud, WOW!! Beautiful weather 🌞🌤️!!! Sending positive vibes and 🙏's for good health and safety in your travels. And always...🤞🍀lucky finds.🤗🤭😘

[@Sifinds]

Juliet thank you. Much love back atcha darlin’

[@googlethis313]

And then you have me who’s happy to find a stone with a natural whole in it! 😂

[@lesleyhawes6895]

Be comforted, when I was a kid we lived on the line of flints that ran across the North Downs, and we used to call natural flints with holes in "fairy stones", rather than "holy stones" and treasure them. I've still got some I picked up 70 years ago!

[@maggiefriedrichs3078]

I love everything about this video. Especially Twist And Shout at the end. “Woo!” 😄

[@vilstef6988]

I'll join the crowd and say it will be interesting to get the museum's conclusion on the intaglio.

[@michaelamaestas4950]

LOVE , the mud , clay, muck and the treasures ! what fun videos

[@Thematt11]

Seeing how unabashed the Romans were about going to the toilet, considering that pinching the morning loaf was a social occasion, it would be wonderfully ironic if the seal WAS for somebody who made a good living building sewers and latrines. It's a fantastic find though, even if it is a chap sitting on his thinking seat.

[@djquinn11]

Biggus Dickus?

[@toxigenic]

The guy at the end playing keyboards on the beach was really great! I loved the intaglio. Here's hoping it's Roman. It's still an awesome find if it's Georgian!

[@Sifinds]

toxigenic thanks. Lol

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

I loved the video! But the little white haired guy at the end stole my heart away😊 new sub from Tennessee USA

[@bonnerdebbie]

Your intaglio is an awesome find Si. Thanks for taking us along.

[@Sifinds]

Debbie Bonner my pleasure!

[@debraolivier2147]

I'm so glad i discovered your videos! And i never realised what a huge tidal change the Thames gets!

[@bridgetteleadbitter7899]

so sorry to hear about john Webb your friend .he was a lovely man inspirational full of knowledge

[@johnromero1029]

6:38 it's a cobbler, sitting on an old type boot, or shoe.

[@Sassy-qh5nh]

Nice to see Pete Best is rocking on in LONDON.

[@kitchenworker446]

Ah that was great Si, I loved the stuff with the type set that you have found. The old guy at the end singing was a star- I'm sure I could see a lad having a wee against the siding in the background though!

[@Sifinds]

Jan Enderwitz haha. Probably 😂

[@chuxmix65]

Interesting as always! Can't wait to hear the museum's conclusions.

[@Sifinds]

chuxmix65 thanks! Me too!

[@roberttownsend8244]

It’s the figure of Crapious he’s The bloke who invented Toilet paper of course back then it was called Parchment paper!!

[@athelwulfgalland]

@@Sifinds Was the London Museum able to identify it's origin or shed some light on it in some way? I've no idea where to check for updates?

[@Sassy-qh5nh]

I thought it was a privy seal. Lol.

[@mrshannonite4016]

The old fella at the end said it risght about that seal..."WOO"

[@Sifinds]

MrShannonite haha!

[@advenzures]

Another great video. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy Hunting.

@4:20, wow! Beautiful early carnelian intaglio. Etruscan or Roman, could be anywhere from 1st century BC to 3rd C. AD. Amazing find!

[@mkivy]

I think that is Roman! What a find! I am so glad I found you! You all keep me so excited with what’s next? I just love history and with each find, u hold a piece of history in ur hands. B safe and stay well!

[@sherrydeken5956]

I absolutely love to watch you find all those amazing things on the foreshore. I believe I would cry if you ever stopped making videos :)

[@Sifinds]

Sherry Deken well we don’t want that do we

[@sammijane1640]

[@lindakile1229]

Great video as usual.. Love the seal you found. I still can't believe you find such tiny things in all those rocks, gravel and mud. Surely you And Nicola have 20/20 eyesight. The things ya'll find are amazing.. Thanks so much for sharing with us all since we are trying to stay in more right now with this virus stuff.. Really good to have positive videos to watch.

[@Sifinds]

Linda Kile Yes. You must binge watch our vids now. Lol

[@babawali3021]

Agreed, Linda -- both Si and Nicola have "sharp eyes" as Mud Lovers, which is a high compliment.

[@juliehehir7091]

Wow what a find, Simon i love watching you and your mud loving friends, stay healthy

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

That Intaglio is absolutely stunning! It never ceases to amaze me the small pieces of history that can be found in those little patches of metal on the foreshore. It really is incredible the beautiful pieces of history that can be found. Kate found some beautiful tokens or one could be a 13th century coin in our last video! I really have to start wearing glasses on the close search as I am missing things! Brilliant video as per usual :)

[@Sifinds]

Mudlarking With Kit & Caboodlers Thanks Mudlovers! Yes I was very lucky

London is NEVER boring ;) Congratulation on the findings ♥ Hanne

[@Sifinds]

Cyndee Collings Aw thanks! Yes we are very lucky!

[@sallya.2412]

Total intrinsic value = maybe 50 p; total emotional/collector/enthousiast value = priceless !

[@historyhawk3621]

As usual Mr. Simon, you have found a way to bring back the most interesting relics to life. It is of course the thrill of finding them... but I'm sure there is more of a thrill in finding out their history. Well done!

[@Sifinds]

Bottle Hawk most certainly!

[@louisealjaradat5063]

What a hoard of beauts you found Si! Amazing. I'll wait for what the outcome is and hopefully see it in the comments but I think it's even earlier than Roman..weird gut feeling lol

[@Sifinds]

Louise Aljaradat can’t wait myself. Might take a while tho

[@nospartsman8901]

The torch has been passed from Jon Webb to Simon, great intaglio find.

You lucky devils! I live United States, East Tennessee, where I do often find cool things like arrowheads, but it's always been my dream to go somewhere with such Rich history as the Thames and dig around in the mud. Oh my gosh that shot around 7:32 where the cameras is Gliding Over All the rocks and artifacts made my mouth water LOL

[@Sifinds]
