Mudlarking in a STORM. PIPES EVERYWHERE!

[@JoRiver11]

"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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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?

[@margaretgarrett6632]

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

[@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.

[@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 🥂🙂

[@stackingforfun9216]

What a fantastic day you and Nichole had . Congratulations

[@Sifinds]

Crystal Twork Thanks Mudlover !

[@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!

[@patriciabarron3401]

Took my breath away Si...wowww...all those pipes...and the rest of your awesome finds...way to go....😃😃

[@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.

[@lisacassells3828]

AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Sifinds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

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

[@Sifinds]

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

[@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

[@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

Also look up heat embossing
