"Pipe, pipe in the mud, are you complete, or are you a dud?" Poetry and mudlarking! LOL

[@Sifinds]

JoRiver11 Keats eat your heart out!

[@lindaodellvt]

I've never seen so many clay pipes found in one hunt, and so many complete with long stems! Worth battling a storm's howling winds.

[@raimamohommed7518]

Dear. Si it a pipe day many excellent mudlarking

[@algiordano9214]

Simon you and Nicola are true mudlarkers to brave those extremely challenging conditions. That extremely low tide is when the true treasures are revealed. I always enjoyed metal detecting after a strong Noreaster in the states. Thanks for taking us along. Stay well mate. Al NJ. USA

[@Sifinds]

Al Giordano my pleasure Al!

[@bellyisis]

You& Nicole should carry an empty “Pringle’s” container in your bag... that way you won’t have to worry about a heavier object breaking the pipe stems you two come across;)

[@Sifinds]

bellyisis Once you pipe, you can’t stop!

[@cherylberry1613]

That looked like so much fun!! The pipe finds were amazing and in a way curiously all from the same era rather that a mix up through the 19th century. Saving the bottom of the mallet bottle was a brilliant idea. It looks great cut like that Simon. Thanks for another adventure along the Thames.

[@Sifinds]

Cheryl Berry Cheers Cheryl!

[@eba44]

Holy SMOKES that's a lotta pipes!! ; ) You had a magnificent day-- thanks for bringing us all along!

[@raimamohommed7518]

,Hi si it a pipe da6 so many excellent video love all th pipe have a beautiful day dear si

[@Sifinds]

Raima Mohommed cheers mate!

[@luckymindy1]

That's absolutely incredible! A complete pipe is my dream find. Waiting for my permit...hope it arrives soon as I'll have a day in London on March 14th. And again March 25-28th.

[@deniseview4253]

Pipes, pipes, & more pipes! Love it. I really like what you do with the war metal pieces.

[@missmerrily4830]

You two were having far too much fun in the mud! Fascinating to see how well those pipes had survived with less footfall over them. I tried to imagine all those people who must have owned them over two centuries ago. Mind-blowing. And absolutely loved your cut down bottle. So beautiful in its own right and doesn't necessarily need to be used for anything. Thanks for yet another episode of bringing history to life!

[@Sifinds]

Miss Merrily My pleasure Mudlover!

[@mrpagrant]

A regular Sunday has just become a GREAT Sunday, thanks to this video post! :)

[@louisechainey2940]

I’d love to find one whole pipe bowl let alone a finds pouch full! Well done to you both for braving the weather, it was certainly a corker of a storm.

[@Sifinds]

louise chainey Cheers Lou!

[@googlethis313]

You both wear wind blown well! Couldn’t help but giggle at the slow-mo wind blowin! I love watching you two together; I get all my bases covered when it comes to what I like to see! Thank you So much for the entertainment! You young sir are lovely! ❤️ and blessings for you and yours, A Dorothy In Kansas

[@Wreckdiver59]

Si and Nic standing in gale force winds & rain comparing who's pipe is longest... 😂. Pretty good haul 👍. The new pipe champion? I'll have to watch Nicola's video to see who found the most.

[@Sifinds]

Wreckdiver59 Haha. Cheerd

[@alisonmeaker1019]

You found the most!

[@arlenegariepy8957]

2 lucky ducks to have a crazy wonderful hobby like that, how much I wish I could be in the mud with you two. Awesome video now I will watch Nicolas. :)

[@MrVxrman]

Ditto ! ! but i did it the other way and watched Nicola' s first 🥂🙂

[@jofayewalker7950]

All those lovely finds. You shine like the star that you are. Love ya, Simon.

[@rysacroft]

Si, your video production is getting really good. Love the soundtrack, it's definitely better than hearing constant wind noise. Good luck in the muck!

[@Sifinds]

rysacroft Thanks!

[@diannmcdonald4949]

How fortunate were you with all the pipes you found. I was so excited with each new find and I wasn’t even there. I think if I had a place to find clay pipes that is all I would do everyday. There is something about them that speaks to me. Thank you so much for sharing your Mudlarking with such well done videos. I am now hooked on Mudlarking videos.

[@margaretgarrett6632]

Oh my word 😮 pipes galore, Nicola must be so Excited 😊😊❤

[@douglassmith5414]

I have to repeat what I said over on Nicola's channel...HOLY SMOKES! It looks like a pipe dream come true Si! Great way to think out of the box and get a jump on all the other larkers...that's why you and yours friends are the best.

[@Sifinds]

Douglas Smith Thanks Doug!

[@Artist6135]

Unbelievable pipe finds!!! Congratulations Si!!!

[@raven-gb3yx]

Am I the only one here who wants to clean one up and give it a try see how it's like

[@googlethis313]

raven 88 No you are not Raven! No screen of course. One for brown and one for green. ...I haven’t the nerve to see how much one would cost! As I’m sure even the shorter stemmed ones would be pricey! Have you dared to look at what one would cost?

[@dalemills7926]

Glad you took that broken green bottle , ..itll make something lovely ,Si

[@SnowPink90]

WOW!!! All those pipes were unusually in great shape and the long stems on them were so cool because usually you may find if you’re lucky a 3 to 4 inch stem so I think you did so well and Nicola did amazing with her fines!! Thank goodness for storms!! Great video Si!!🌊🐬

[@jennywalborn7769]

I am still amazed at the amount of pipes that wash in!!! Crazy! Bet Nic was in pipe heaven today!

[@lindaclarkbales6591]

Wow just wow .... thanks for taking us along !!!

I look forward to what record is on turntable each week, didn't know the guy in Mud wrote so many hits!

[@Sifinds]

TeamZSsx lol, I bought a new one the other day! Looking forward to playing that one

[@katherinehunter5789]

What an exciting day and great finds. Very brave of you and Nicola to go out in such awful weather. I often wonder if you get sick after these adventures.

[@Sifinds]

Katherine Hunter Have t been sick in years, touch wood. I think I’m getting intolerance from the lifestyle!

[@stackingforfun9216]

What a fantastic day you and Nichole had . Congratulations

[@Sifinds]

Crystal Twork Thanks Mudlover !

[@christopherbrewer9368]

[@Sifinds]

Christopher brewer Enjoy

[@mirkatu3249]

So. Many. Pipes. I am gobsmacked at how many you found with nice long stems.

[@phyllisstrider2998]

I've loved this video. Finding all those pipes is like finding lots of shells on the beach here in,America. WOW. Great finds.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

SOOOOO MANY PIPES - JUST GREAT !!!

[@connieward2042]

I love pipes. Always tell Nicola how much I anticipate her finding pipes. You would have had to drag me off the shore with that many showing. Thank you!

Amazing pipe discoveries, congratulations. Nice collection of items. Enjoyed watching. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@lisacassells3828]

AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Sifinds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OwenFromOhio]

Hi Si... I found you and Nic a few days ago and can't get enough of your two's videos. I'm here in Dubin, Ohio USA and find what you do and where you do it amazing!

[@Sifinds]

Terry Shaw Thanks Terry! Really appreciate that! If you could share a video on social media that would really help me grow. Thanks Mudlover!

[@judithyoungquist8409]

Awesome Simon! Just awesome!!

[@RevMikeBlack]

Wow! That's a lot of pipes!

[@weibie]

Si, being in the US and hearing you say you make shrapnel key rings as a reminder of ancestors who fought to keep your freedoms, brought a big smile to my face. It's nice to have a reminder of where we got our own sense of respect for our ancestors who fought for everyone's freedom; whether it was with you in the middle east and the great wars, or even against you while establishing our own country. It's nice to reflect back on things and remember how we all basically came from the same places (hope that wasn't offensive, it wasn't meant to be)!

[@Sifinds]

weibie Katz Bot offensive at all. I like to think of my grandparent who either fought (Royal Tank Regiment and Royal Engineers) or helped by giving relief to the Polish when they had nothing. It’s true what Churchill said. Never was so much owed by so many to such few. We shall remember them!

[@weibie]

@@Sifinds Have you ever watched the film "They Shall Not Grow Old" about Britain during the Great War 100 years ago? I adore all of the people who painstakingly restored and colorized all of this old footage, had a forensic lip reader translate what they were saying, and then speed corrected and added sound to it, and on top of that added in footage from 50 years ago of the veterans talking about their experiences. Such an amazing work I recommend everyone watch at least once in their life.

[@leeklassy1012]

I am going to have to stop watching this because of my love of clay pipes, I am jealous

[@PeachSt8Digger]

Wow! It's a pipe bonanza! The storms actually brought you good fortune in the long run. Keep o finding the best. I so enjoyed this and my 11 year old grandson could only keep saying "Wow! That's a lot of pipes. And another and another!"....LOL Cheers....can't wait to see more

[@Sifinds]

Karen Yeoman Nice one. Cheers Karen. Best wishes to your grandson!

[@dalemills7926]

The barnacle was huge ..awesome find

[@ImaLeshLushnIcantgetmyPhil]

You are now officially The King of Pipes🤴 🎉 How fitting that The Queen of Pipes was with you 👸 Well done with the bottom of the bottle, beautiful!! Thank you for being crazy enough to go out in the weather and take the video camera 😉 As always, thank you for the wonderful video 😃

[@Sifinds]

Noelle usually Daum Cheers Mudlover!

[@marleneenglin1889]

My wife and I enjoy watching your videos from the California desert and would like to make a suggestion. All those old plain bottles you leave behind could be stenciled with si-finds and or mud lovers maybe even add a broken pipe. Just a thought from two fans from across the pond

[@Sifinds]

james davenport Good idea mate. How would I stencil them? With an etcher or something?

[@marleneenglin1889]

You could apply a paint,sandblast,acid etch,etc.

[@marleneenglin1889]

Si-finds Thames Mudlark maybe add a broken clay pipe under stenciled logo

[@marleneenglin1889]

Also look up heat embossing

[@litafrench7413]

Unbelievable! I'm so jealous!

[@conitorres9774]

The pipe king! That looked like so much wonderful fun. The bottle was fantastic and you can put your vulcanite stopper on it. I would have taken the lock.

[@Sifinds]

Coni Torres cheers Coni

[@daver8521]

What absolutely wonderful finds! Truly a day for the ages! Congratulations, Si.

[@Sifinds]

daver8521 cheers fella

[@dyanekward6346]

Might I suggest a backpack for both you & Nic for some larger items. I can't fathom that carry a bag or fanny pack makes for convenience, especially when there are larger things, like the locks, etc. Watched Nic's vid yesterday. Can't even wrap my head around 280-yr-old pipes lying around just waiting to be picked up like so many seashells!! Crazy! Thx for taking us with you yet again!! Love you-2!

[@Sifinds]

Dyane K Ward Hiya - I do sometimes have a back pack, but other times a finds pouch is all I want to carry. Nothing was left behind this time anyhoo

[@kelly623]

Si & Nic! Thanks guys for the great finds!! Insane amount of pipes! LOVE what you do with the broken bottles! Kelly/Indiana

[@Ellwynnnnn]

I used to live in a tower block in Kilburn and I saw a pigeon fly backwards past my window during a storm, poor guys! Also that extra long pipe is awesome.

[@lissymoz959]

Absolutely blown away by the staggering number of pipes you found Si; congratulations! Gorgeous bottle you found, so pretty and a great job on the coin holder, what a save! What a great website idea too, looking forward to checking that out and maybe contributing myself one day!

Wow quite a pipe collection found all in one day congratulations.

Totally awesome pipe finds, just a dream come true and ALL 18th century or earlier. The one with the longest stem is just to die for!

Amazing, I have never seen someone find so many clay pipes, and nearly full length ones at that !

[@jeanneamato8278]

I am addicted to your channel.

[@carolinewithers531]

Great video. I watched Nicola's and yours. Both of you had some great finds!!

[@Sifinds]

carolinewithers531 Thanks Mudlover!

[@aropals672]

Thanks for braving the storm the both of you! Hands down the most pipes from the 1700's I've ever seen at once. So interesting that they all come from the earlier period being out just a bit further than everyone is usually able to reach.

[@Sifinds]

Ear To The Ground thanks Mudlover! More low-tides plz!

[@elizabethscruggs1622]

Nice video Si. Loved it.

Elizabeth Scruggs Cheers Liz!

[@ricksheetz1873]

wow! what a pipe day Si, Bravo, I really like what you do with the broken bottles, looking forward to next video

[@Sifinds]

Rick Sheetz Cheers Rick!

[@debspils1091]

Me too! It’s amazing how thick and heavy even the mineral water bottles are!

[@justdustino1371]

I think it just has to do with the method of manufacture. Bottles today are made on fully automatic machinery. Back then you had a crews of humans making them, a blower who'd remove the gob from the tank with his punt and blow, a mould operator, and a lipping man who held the hot bottle with a snap case to apply the lip!!! Except that mallet bottle was free blown! 😊

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

What a great day along the Thames Si Finds! I know people will go out along the eastern seaboard after storms looking for washed up pieces of ship wrecks. I tried myself once after a hurricane but no luck Inna sand. All those pipes and long stems to boot! I do believe you've become the Pipe King of the Thames. Thanks Kindly for sharing your Luck Inna Muck for we arm chair Mud Lovers here in Pa! Lots More Luck and Loving of Mud! DaveyJO

[@Sifinds]

Daveyjo Weaver Cheers Dave! Yes I was a lucky sod alright. I woke up and could hear the wind and rain, but then I was awake and simply couldn’t not go. So glad I did!

[@juliet5114]

OMG, Si 😲!!! Is this a "pipe dream" 😉!! So envious of you. And so incredibly kind to leave some of the bounty for others to share in 👏. Love, love the key, also. Way cool 😎👍.
