Meet the scavengers hunting for ancient artifacts in England

[@bettygreenhansen]

I love watching Si and all the other mudlarkers. The history they uncover is priceless! Also, the rubbish they remove from waterways bit by bit is a worthy venture. Keep on larking!!!

[@kathimorrical9912]

I watch Si Finds weekly, and rewatch him often..its addicting! It's fascinating, and when a find is historical, and looking for information ,and FINDING the name of the traders token, or king, or queen, must be such a rush. Thanks for following these adverturers!

[@michelehood8837]

Si Finds on CBS Morning News! Been subscribed to his KZbin channel for years - so glad you aired this piece!

[@catherineerwin8269]

They just needed his friend & fellow mudlarker Nicola White

[@shaunjerrom2571]

So much history in the Thames and si-finds is one of the best been following him for ages fantastic content etc , Him and Nicola white are the reasons I got into mudlarking myself

[@nancysadirondackart50]

Congrats Sci - it was fun to see your buddies in there, too. I had no idea that so many people would be on the shores.

[@sticklebacksummer]

Love Si-Finds. Been watching him Nichola White and Chill Bill for years.

[@MeanOlNana]

Well done!! I think when I come to London one day I’ll definitely go on a mudlarking tour!!

[@kathybell7407]

Hello!! What a wonderful video they made!!! I’m so glad I got a chance to see it! Thank you ! I love seeing the children looking ever so closely for there treasure!!

[@kathleenlynch5763]

Well done si nice to see you got interviewed about what you do best. I love watching him and all the others and you learn some great history as well.

[@Nicola.S.]

Well done Si Finds 🤗

[@Dj.MODÆO]

I watch Thames mudlarking vids for a while now. They find coins, gems, weapons, artifacts and they clean up all the trash they find so they leave the beaches cleaner than they have been in 400 years

[@beadladee]

I love si-finds ♥️

[@Commandamanda]

Ahhhhhh! Si, the ladies love you!!!

[@imcavdb5465]

Gotta love Si 😊

[@sarahhunnicutt3769]

It was really exciting to see you feature on an American morning show. Congratulations!

[@kellyfairbairn9333]

Good for you si finds

[@patward2143]

Bravo well done!

[@SilverBull30]

Scavengers seems a bit harsh, they r doing wat ppl have done for all of time,Huniting Treasure..doesnt have to be gold in a chest to be a treasure. I get the "scrapes" histroy

[@annescott2748]

Well done, Si! Antiques Roadshow, CBS News - what's next?! 🌟

[@michelehood8837]

Great British Baking Show LOL

[@juliespade1573]

Awesome that you did this video

[@bluelava4282]

Educational

[@infraredthomas]

Great story! I would think this would be a more intriguing alternative in learning about history versus sitting in a classroom repeating facts from a book. A fun, interactive activity for tourist too.

[@williamlavagna1096]

Yes however it does require a permit which is about £100 and lasts three years.

[@debraoldham4364]

Aww that so good 👍 what a cool bit of decent reporting sifinds you also came across like a true pro 😂

[@jetgold]

No mention of Nicola White , this mudlarking story is not complete.

[@smoll8746]

Can someone please explain why they can't sell what they find?

[@hoardershaven4822]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZPCnJyXe7iWd5I This is his channel. I believe that it's because they are considered historical artifacts. This is what he does, along with KZbin. They can make crafts from broken bits as they would say, and sell them. He calls his upcycled. I believe several of the well known KZbinrs make items from things as well. A very good friend of Simon's is Nicola White, or Tideline Art makes fish from glass. That will be an amazing question to ask them.

[@smoll8746]

@@hoardershaven4822 thank you.

[@lfurches]

Awesome! We are enamored here in the states. There had better still be some treasures when I cone over there someday. It won't be this year.

[@granddad-mv5ef]

It just wouldn't be Sunday without the Thames, Mudlarking and Nicola White. I saw you, Nicola!

[@msmoe8687]

I find the use of the word scavenger kind of offensive, they are mudlarkers.

[@lisabksfinest]

Congratulations Si Finds gentleman mudlarker adventure is always A foot.

[@michelehood8837]

She loved his cockney accent, I just loved that.

[@rubensantiago6403]

I love and watch Simon all the time and dont forget the Queen of mudlark Nicola White !!!!! Tidelineart is her user name she is cool one of my other favorites but they are so many wonderful people a mother and daughter Duo called Northern Mudlarks and another family called Kit and Caboodles and so many more when i watch them i feel like im on the lark with them not to mention the history its amazing its always a goto on KZbin for me in this crazy world of Misinformation and Lets say Crap on the internet i hope you look these fine folk up you wont be disappointed

[@lindagomez3114]

Si is my guy every week!!

[@bigran_outbound2262]

Dope👊🏽

[@catherineerwin8269]

I didn’t care for their last minute summary of the story. It almost seemed like they were mocking Si & his accent. UK mudlarkers rule! I love all of their videos.

[@cynthiarowley719]

Love the lad.

Yay Simon!!!

Simon Bourne... you rockstar! KUTGW!

[@patrickmclaren4360]

Hopefully it helps your channel grow and everyone else's also 😉

[@gihankanishka]

Oh god, I hope this won't bring too many tourists looking for treasure to the banks of the Thames 😖😖

[@llmifg]

Woot! Luck in the muck Simon.

[@The1SilverShadow]

but if they were sent from the university of Oklahomo they would be called scientists

[@michelehood8837]

RIGHT?!?

[@w3vjp568]

“Scavengers”, CBS? Really?

[@aggabus]

Not silt

[@Michiganian8]

Only in England. Jerusalem would’ve been considered more ancient.

[@Dj.MODÆO]

Yeah but London is 2000 years old….that qualifies as an ancient city and people lived there much longer than that.

[@michelehood8837]

London was an important Roman outpost. They do find Roman pottery and coins along the Thames - and #SiFinds has found examples of both. These finds are important examples of Roman migration into Northern Europe. Also, I believe that people lived along the Thames at the same time that people lived in Jerusalem. So, what are you saying? Get out of here with your nonsense. 😡

[@marys6866]

Si also once found a woolly mammoth tooth on the banks of the Thames

[@michelehood8837]

@@marys6866 that’s right! I almost forgot about that 🦷 #AncientThames
