PIRATE COIN found Mudlarking the Thames foreshore plus other treasures

[@francineb7340]

I watch these for the history you bring up, the funny banter, and mostly the slurpy noise of your wellies in the mud. ☺

[@Sifinds]

Thank you! Busy editing the next one as we speak!

[@olgajama]

The Thames foreshore the gift that keeps on giving our history flowing in with the tide everyday great video as always

Mike was on the money today! Love the caulking tool as well. I immediately thought the wooden item was part of a light fitting or lamp.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Tracey, he certainly was, yes we came to the same conclusion, so many wierd and wonderful objects down there! It's one big puzzle!

[@steven2212]

I really hate to complain but your videos aren't long enough! I do so enjoy watching you and all you fellow mudlarkers muck about. Hubby thinks I have a screw loose. I yelled Oh good a new Simon video. He just shakes his head.

The first tenet of mudlarking succinctly expressed by Si: '...you need you Wellies and your wits about you." Indeed you do, lol! Doing a face plant in that stuff would really put a dent in your day! Love the "cobbs", great finds everyone! Looking forward to the next adventure!

[@Sifinds]

I think Nicola White mentioned an artist who put Easter egg shaped "stones" around London for people to discover--- don't know if those you found are some of that artist's creations or not. Nicola had one and it rattled. (metal items inside possibly making your metal detectors sound??).

[@quentinkelly8411]

They found the same 1652 coin on oak island Nova Scotia where there’s recorded to be millions in treasure. You can see the coin on the show “ the curse of oak island”

[@justdustino1371]

That Spanish cobb was awesome! I collect coins and have almost bought a silver one on eBay...but they fake them in South America a lot. I think the originals were minted in Peru and Bolivia. Cobbs aren't pieces of eight though...that was made from a Spanish 8 Real coin cut into 8 pie shaped pieces for change, each roughly equivalent in silver to a 1 Reale coin. US currency was based on the Spanish and Spanish silver was legal tender alongside our own until the 1830s. The 8 Reale coin had two columns with a scroll wrapped around them on the obverse, they represented the Pillars of Hercules, that is where the 🇺🇸 dollar sign comes from $.. Awesome video!

[@Sifinds]

Great info - cheers mate! The history of them is quite twisted and complex, so i tried to simplify the best I could for everyone to digest

[@sosteve9113]

great find imo

[@justdustino1371]

@@Sifinds Yeah that's cool...i hope I didn't come off as a know it all. The more i think about those Thames cobbs, the more I think British smugglers brought them to England! Smuggling to the Spanish colonies was a lucrative enterprise because Spain only allowed Spanish merchants and Spanish goods in at inflated prices and the armada was spread thin! There were far more smugglers than pirates and smugglers ended up in the gibbet less often. 😜

[@Cate7451]

JustDustin O' it's all good I enjoyed your history comments. The Spanish had a huge presence in early the early Americas, Lots of crazy stuff going on, from all the fighting and fallout from European Wars it created a lot of lawlessness and dangerous people. People were there just to exploit anything for money. Laws and democracy are good things.

You sir are correct. The insulators were originally made out of wood before they switched to ceramics
