Thanks. Look forward to more Roman coming up soon!

That’s true, but still costs us to take those things out 👍🏻 I’m glad we show that we are having fun as well as recording and saving history

Wonderful camera work and editing! Shows how much fun hovercrafts are - you are living a wonderful, adventurous life Simon! Great assortment of bottles and jars on this lark. I envy you and your ability to repurpose your finds.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Linda!

[@houzbizness303]

My first job as a kid was working with a co-op milkman so I recognized the milk bottle straight away. That was in the early eighties and from what I remember the bottles were embossed and quite decorative even then. Wish I had kept a few. There's something about their simplicity that makes them really appealing to me despite them not being that old. Thanks for these interesting uploads. Always fun to watch.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks matey!

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

What a Fun video Si Finds! With that fisheye lens I thought you were the Little Prince, if you remember that book. I think you covered almost all the bases on this trip, well shy of gold coins or pieces of eight, a Tesla car, a politician,,,,,,well may be the skull and I'm waiting for the next trip. Always completes my Sunday Si Finds and Tideline Art. Now I can sleep and dream of Luck inna Muck, a leather Medieval bag filled with coins of the period, mostly gold of course and a complete Roman pot and all with you guys and the pot filled with gold and silver Roman coins. Of course I'd settle for a clay pipe but I ain't hard to please. So Many Thanks Simon O Finds and to your Friends as well. Hoover craft races, Love it! Love, Light, Peace and that pot of Roman coins!

[@cphughes100]

P&G stands for Portsmouth & Gosport - Mumbys bottling originated in Gosport, where I’ve lived all my life. I live 5 minutes from the now demolished bottling plant. Gosport is a peninsular town opposite Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. Charles Mumby was a fascinating character and significant benefactor to this town.

[@Sifinds]

Ah that’s really neat! Have you found any bottles yourself?

[@cphughes100]

Si-finds Thames Mudlark yep, where I live was built on brickfields and domestic waste infill in 1939, so fragments of Mumby bottles can come up in the soil. Likewise, Portsmouth has a strong heritage with mudlarkers and sometimes a bottle will come up - there are many such example in local pubs too. Mumby was also one of the first to mass produce torpedo bottles. Here you go, I’ve seen both you and Nic pull Mumbys and Brockhurst bottles out on your vids historicgosport.uk/bottles/

[@dyschezia_gaming]

Hello, I’m from Portsmouth! Any suggestions on good places to look for bottles? :)

[@kerryhitzke4490]

Great episode as usual. Just wondering if anyone in authority fetched the skull…..so that it could be buried with some dignity. Just thinking that some poor sailor lost his life in a storm and never got his proper burial.

Interesting adventure. It’s fascinating to think about the person who’s skull was found. This was a person. Who was he or she? What did they do in life? Did they have a family. How did her skull end up where it was found? Much to ponder.

I am absolutely fascinated with historical human remains! I often wonder if in the future mudlarkers and archaeologists will find things like coffin plates or eye caps! I know it sounds morbid but I think that because so many thigs are plastic now the probability may be high! 🤔😊

I thought if you found human remains you had to report it to the authorities? I have just found your channel and finding it very binge worthy. My late dad told me he was a mud lark in the late 1920s early 30s. But the term mudlark was used differently then. Mudlarks was the name given to young children who used dive into the mud at the 'Hard' in Portsmouth by the dock yards for coins thrown by visitors to the city. Keep up the great content
