Mudlarking LIVERPOOL! What did I find? Plus Dinosaur footprints and Roman Forts!

My favorite part of that video, aside from the spectacular find that I won't mention here 😉, is the hand-holding & skipping. The next time you change up your opening sequence, that should definitely be included! 😁

[@vicksterhawk]

Hi Si, just wondering if you have a bottle cleaning video...thanks

[@anneschepeler4086]

Best video yet. Not quite so busy, and it shows that even if a site isn't full of show-stopping finds, we can always learn something and enjoy the natural world.

Great video Si. You're absolutely right that we have to try new places and sometimes they don't yield anything special - but we don't know until we try. It's good to show those explorations as the search for history in itself is compelling. If it yields results that great, but often times it doesn't, as we both know :) . Really enjoyed this and learned a lot. loved the Scotland footage. And you did actually find some fab history. Dinosaur prints. wow.

[@Sifinds]

Aw thanks Nic x I must admit to being a tad disappointedly the lack of finds - but you are spot on - you’ve got to try new places - adventure is hiding around the next corner!!

[@kellydiver]

My many-greats grandfather came to America in 1699 on a ship from Liverpool when he was only 19 years old. He was Quaker. It was called “that sick ship from Liverpool” because about half the passengers got sick and died on the voyage. I want to visit Liverpool one of these days.

That’s so cool! Yes I recommend it!!!

I so appreciate the effort it must take to get to these fabulous places. I escape the craziness of the USA by watching Nicole and you, along with others. I’m so hooked now. Always an education. I’m not a stranger to Mudlarking although I felt more like an archeologist digging up my finds along the banks of the Blackstone River, in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Mudlarkers....take me away! Stay safe and healthy. Until next time.

When your next up north there is a beach near Crosby called ‘brick beach’ and it’s where a lot of the bomb damaged masonry from Liverpool was dumped, so lots of interesting carved stone and plenty of bricks to look at 👍🏻

The metal gag is called a scolds bridle. Originally used on mouthy wives or wives that were a pain in the arse. People may say it was cruel but its better than a ducking stool or being burnt at the stake. That was the alternative back in the day of the scolds bridle. Lol 😆

I knew straight away that the 'Nori' brick was from the Accrington Brick Co. I went around the works in the early 1970s. There were two rows of kilns back to back, about 20 kilns in each row. Bricks were stacked in each kiln and then holes broken through from the next kiln to let in the heat. Crushed coal was tipped in through holes in the top by a mechanism automatically at regular intervals. The bricks were fired for several days then the next kiln was started. The fire thus went along the row and back along the adjacent row in a continuous loop. The fire had gone on continuously since about 1911 which is just incredible. It was very hot, dusty and sulphurous fumes.
