Part 2 - Finds revealed from The 100 Year-Old Tip on The Thames Foreshore

[@robertwoods4281]

wow, u are friggin great man. All the information that u share just blows me away. Now my roommate is into your videos and I just have a small smart phone . John is paralyzed on half his body from about 20 strokes, sad. But now I have to explain what's going on and then I show him the end results. oh yeah if u remember we are in a nursing home in Charleston SC. U guys are like a really good book and one can't wait for the next chapter,lol😀😁😂 Thanks guys, really!

[@jakethedude100]

Robert Woods how sweet! Check out Nicola white as well. She has an old English charm. Si is great too!

[@stuarttaylorsctconstructio9983]

The history at The end was every interesting, to take the time to track him down and where his house stood. Well done fella.

[@sheiladickerson5198]

Thank SI for bringing history alive! Enjoyed video!

[@cynthiabellasword7752]

I so love watching your videos! From the real time finds, to the clean up and historic information you manage to "dig up" and share.

[@nancyhooper7715]

Loved this! Appreciate the nice work photoshopping the old apartment buildings with shops!

[@valiantsfelinesmccarty6678]

Really enjoyed your dig. Thank you for taking such an interest in the people associated with the items you find like for the ironmonger Mr Hockaday. Maybe some of his family survived the blitz and they'll see this, but it was really neat for you to do the Photoshop and give us an idea of what it would have looked like for him & his family as they worked through their lifetime before the war.

[@TheTonialadd]

Loved the recreation you did at the end! Thanks for adding the bit of history! I’m obsessed!

[@Beth_D]

This popped up in my recommended videos, how have I never seen it before?!?! Now going to look through all your old videos to see if I missed any others! 🥰

Wonderful research on Mr. Hockaday; you always make your finds come to life. I'm enjoying your videos while social distancing in Tennessee, USA.

I do feel like I’m mudlarking with you. Thanks and keep up the good vids.

[@michelehood8837]

Fantastic video, really well done 👍 Love the cigarette lighter, especially! Also, the Hockaday bit was fascinating, and I loved the photoshop. Love watching night mudlarking, too!

Fabulous! Thanks so much. I miss London now I live in Australia and watching this makes me feel at home again. Fascinating finds and research.

[@neilhoward3600]

Excellent work Si good to see the research makes all the difference add imagination and the past Comes alive!

[@craftylittlerthings]

Thank you for sharing your finds. I've always wanted to "treasure hunting" but as I'm now 60 and disabled I don't think that's going to happen. I also wanted to say, I and I'm sure everyone else really appreciate you showing the items cleaned up and some history if you can. You know what they say "where there is muck there is money/brass" So keep on digging the mud xxxAnnxxx

[@catgp2015]

This reveal is awesome, I have been watching videos from last night until now. Binge watching all day from Jacksonville, Florida. What an adventure! Cheers.

Beautifully done , thank you for the great segment !

[@marydegenkolb9603]

I love the Mudlarking videos of you, Chill Bill and Nicola. And I love the history you share with your viewers. I have learned so much from just the videos. I do detecting here in Georgia, USA. And being of Native American decent, I love pipes. I was fortunate enough to be presented 3 American clay pipes, from here in Savannah, and one had a dog as the heel. Since I watch you, Nicola and Bill, I had lots of information to pass on to the club I belong to at a meeting not long ago. Also about the thimbles and pins for clothing. Thank you for making me feel as if I am there. I may never reach England, but feel I'm there with you and all your pals.

[@Sifinds]

Mary Degenkolb what a lovely comment. So nice to hear about people from different cultures and continents! Glad you enjoy our videos. Maybe one day you will come to England!

I really appreciate that you include your research. It highlights the long term impact of war and jobs the imagination about what it might have felt like. Kind of brings the reality of war a little bit to life. Fascinating but sad history

[@dracorino9668]

Great videos, I really enjoy the reveals.

[@missmerrily4830]

I found the research you did into the background of B J Hockaday really touching and the trouble you went to, recreating the sort of business he probably had, so brought history to life. I'm a newcomer to the joys of KZbin Mudlarking and I'm so enjoying your searches. But most of all I love your reveals when little bits of the past emerge with new beauty.

[@mortalwomble]

Brilliant channel. Love how you bring your finds to life.

[@Sifinds]

Chloro Phil Thanks pal!

[@dianajusselin3298]

So- you always keep us intrigued on your finds that are items that I have never seen or heard of. I think my history of many items you have picked up as little treasures and of great value such as old coins and rings. Great job. I hope you continue your finds. God Bless.

[@Bartyron]

I was very surprised by the ending. Great research en visualition. I am very yealous fo you Mudlarkers. I would spend every day outthere! You are a lucky bunch to live at such a history filled shoreline.

[@Sifinds]

Bartyron Thanks Pal, yes we are v lucky

[@tazzie2shoos]

I love this channel, and the reveals and history at the end - that gorgeous belt piece that was just a muddy lump, and underneath those beautiful brass cameos, gorgeous! The work you put into the Hockaday item for us was above and beyond, such a treat. I have to thank you for the hard work you put into finding these items, cleaning them up so well and sharing them with us.

[@Sifinds]

tazzie2shoos Aw thanks. That's made my day. I try and make the the vids the best quality I can, with a nice mixture of searching and stories. Glad you enjoy them, makes it all worth while. Thanks again!

[@tazzie2shoos]

Seriously, if I were a TV producer I would sign you up for a TV series, and I hope that happens, it might be worth putting together some demo vids and sending them in to the various companies. In case you ever doubt yourself, don't - because you are that good. :-)

[@Sifinds]

tazzie2shoos It's already been done - look up 'Mud Men'... maybe there's time for a new one 😉 Thanks for your kind comments!

[@untbunny]

Si, lovely part #2. Thank you for the credit. You're too kind. The brass dome part...did I spy small screws on the edge? It may be a ceiling lamp mount for a gas fixture. The main support rod would come out the center and the gas lines for the small pendant lights come out the surrounding holes. The open end would them fit to the ceiling disguising a hole. I'll try to find an image. Can't wait for the next adventure.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Rebecca! You're fast becoming my top IDer!
