Si thanks for teaching this old woman (73) so many interesting things from your country..I loved watching you for a few years already and there's always an interesting treasure found by you ! I'll never get to do what you do , so thanks from me personally ! Hugs from Florida , USA

[@kathyblain5544]

I am a 72 year old woman and love to watch too. I would love to mudlark that beach. I would make pendents out of some of those interesting pottery pieces and collect pottery shards to make mosaics out of ❤❤❤

So many great finds! Love the 1750 halfpenny. That's a hundred pounds or more in that condition. Don't overclean it! Congrats, Si!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers matey. Haven’t touched that one

[@ladytammy6886]

​@Sifinds it's J750 not 1750. They've changed our timeline... anything that has a J or an I in front of it was changed to a number 1. Something I came across a while ago.

[@marinella9104]

The white translucent glass …..was a sort of glass called Opaline …..used about until the last century for toilet little bottles or elegant table services bottles for Salt and other things …..this glass was produced putting precious substances in melting the liquid glass…..so the bottles and the boxes used for cosmetics and tables services were quite expensive ……I have got a service salt and pepper like that at home …

[@Blessings.429]

Hello from Australia, I wish you all kindness, peace and monumental great finds

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

It's probably a shard of opalescent glass from an old dish from back in the day. Great finds from both you guys. you can also put that gold leaf on/ around your broken pieces of pottery and make those into jewelry as well. Even a tiny thin line on some of the raised pieces of pottery to make it stand out more. Those coins are amazing and in amazing condition. I love all of your up cycling you are amazing. I also love love love your fur babies.

Cheers Pam! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@lesleyhawes6895]

I was depressed to find that You Tube had decided to drop several of my favourite channels in favour of stuff that didn't rock my world, so now both Nic and you, for starters, have got a new subscriber, which means that I can now comment rather than just mumbling at my tablet! So, I think that lemonade bottle scoop is great, very clever, well done! (Sorry Si, that's the elderly lady teacher part of me, having her say,)

im surprised to hear to that they will actually give back a find after being recorded rather than just sitting in a museum’s storage room for no one to see again

[@bethsmith3421]

What a variety of super awesome finds! That coin is in amazing condition. Doesn't really look like it's spent a couple of the hundred years in the Thames. That twice struck coin is very unique, whether a real mistake or a forgery, very cool. Your remakes of old things are very creative. I thought the pendant was a stylized letter 'g', until you turned in sideways and showed the keyhole 😂. You certainly had luck in the much on this outing.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Beth, well said!

[@86thirdgen71]

Its absolutely amazing to me seeing the age of artifacts you find. Being from NY in a house i consider old "180 yrs" When you talk about the age of your finds it blows my mind

[@siweljdforp]

Hello Si, The deep hole in the handle is where the tang from the implement was inserted in order to secure the working part of the tool to the handle hence the long gap in the wood.

[@Sifinds]

Yes good shout. Probably from a large chisel or similar

[@Steve-bx7ed]

Just found your channel and liked it lots. That " chisel" handle, did it not have a ferrule at both ends? It reminded me of the galvanised bucket my grandmother had back in the 1950s pre plastic handles. Just a thought 🤔

[@valerieanjo2533]

I just enjoy so much watching you find all these treasures! As a bottle collector here in Hawaii, we find all kinds of treasures from the past in the muck! Thank you, Si!

[@sandacathan9787]

I love going with you “mudlarking” and the explanations of the items you find. But I also like your inventions- the old handle decorated with gold leaf. I am a very senior citizen Si and your expeditions are wonderful, so thank you.

[@llmifg]

Gad I like your friends. Serious luck in the muck today, and the up-cycle is lovely. Thanks for taking us along, and for spending all the time involved with filming and editing the video.

​Isn't that the fellow that he found all the cannon balls and knapped tools with. Sounds like an adventure! My guess is some sort of witchcraft item!

@@Sifinds Yes, by a mile! Brilliant in every way! Best thing you’ve produced in ages! (That’s meant as a compliment not a criticism 🫠😂) I’ll stop talking now.

[@Vault57]

That Georgian farthing must have been lost not long after going into circulation to be as crisp as it is. Really neat to find a coin like that. Finding 19:10 that dropped musket ball and the flint earlier makes me think that the flint was worked. To me it looked like a shaped flint for use on a flintlock musket. They tend to be squared off and thicker on one end.

[@Sifinds]

Good shouts TB👍🏻🐾🧡

[@NanaKathy47]

The coins were spectacular, but my favorite has to be your repurposed scoop from the broken bottle and old handle with gold repairs. So very creative.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Kathy!👍🏻🐾🧡

[@Fritos314]

So Si, I was wondering when you register something with the Museum of London and they give it back to you, do you have to make sure it’s available in case they should want to see it again or use it in a display in the museum? I live in the USA so I’ve wondered how that all works. Thanks so much for your videos! All of you mudlarks are so much fun to watch and to get to see your historical finds!

[@Sifinds]

There’s no requirement to do that. If they like it that much, they will ask you to donate it, or give you a reward for it

That half penny was an incredible find! I keep thinking your handle is a furniture leg. Clever up-cycle!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! I’m thinking a file handle

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

Excellent video! Lots of good finds in this one; I'm also a flint-knapper, and I've been eyeing all the beautiful flint calkins that show up on the Foreshore for years of videos-- I'd give a lot to have some to work on my own (I mostly do obsidian and glass, but I do work at flint sometimes.) That bizarre coin with the multiple strikes was my favorite item from todays haul; can't wait to hear what the Museum of London has to say about it. Lastly, your scoop... The kintsugi idea was inspired; and if you ever have a burglar try to break in, you've got one hell of a self-defense weapon there!

[@Sifinds]

Haha. Cheers Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡

[@clairedodsworth5510]

Oh my days! You have a tool for every craft/DIY going......boys and their toys! Talking about boys, your video this week really brought out your cheeky side, loved it. The finds are brilliant those Georgian coins and the old pottery/stoneware are fantastic. Keep up the grand work xx

Hi Si I think the pendant thing at about 1 minute in the video is part of a keyhole plate from an old piece of furniture a dresser, cupbord or some thing like that.

Si - You keep surprising me! I did not know you did wood work too! I had two older brothers who both made wooden things with lathes and their hands - also a BIL who made mini birdhouses on his lathes and wooden toys and tops - you made me think of them today - I have their work sitting in vignettes throughout my home and I miss this very much. Your creative mind and fearless dives in the muck are inspiring - thank you!

Just realized that I never left a comment after I watched. Silly dog insisted he needed to go right then and when I came back in, I completely forgot! Speaking of beautiful creatures, it was lovely to see Daisy and Nelly, the prettiest two cats I know of. This was a thoroughly enjoyable video! Sean always makes me smile and you always seem really relaxed when with him. It gives the videos a sort of holiday feel! 😂 You had some interesting finds - especially those two coins! - but the tokens and pipes were nice and I always love the pottery and china bits. The large pieces of the tankard were beautiful and so close to fitting together! Thanks for showing us two upcycles this time! That pendant is so sweet and delicate. And Red's new feed scoop was a labor of love! She seemed to appreciate it, I think. Till we see you next!

I loved your golden joinery idea! Just as a possible idea, and given how much you had already done to restore that piece, you might consider using a non-solvent based stain in future, instead of an oil because the oil may slowly soften and effect the glue ‘s bond.

Some great finds again and love the idea of the broken bottle and old handle, which I think was once a joiners chisel handle, deep drilled to accomodate the Tang (Spike) with the metal anti splitting ring on the bottom, and turned at the top to accomodate the striking ring which would probably been copper or brass.
