That fossil is beautiful. You really made out like a bandit with the coins, tile and fossil. Lovely finds Si, I really enjoyed this one.

[@northernflicker6590]

I visited England 2 years ago. After traveling for a week I stopped in London. I was exhausted, ill and completely knackered. I leaned over the Westminster Bridge and cried tears in the Thames and then I saw a clay pipe stuck in the mud .It put an instant smile on my face, and still does every time ya’ll find a pipe. Thanks for making me smile 😊

[@jamesbutterson5218]

Cool story 👊

[@Sifinds]

Did you go and get it?

[@northernflicker6590]

@@Sifinds I did not. Pretty sure I wasn’t supposed to. Besides I was too ill. Every time you and Nic find a pipe it reminds me of standing on that beautiful bridge

[@stephanieyee9784]

I visited London in 2019 also and saw a mudlarker over at Queen's Walk, I think it was near London Bridge. He said he'd only found a few bricks, a couple of which were Victorian. I wish I'd thought about mudlarking when I lived in London in the 1980s.

[@jbohling717]

I have mad respect for Rich for his response starting at 9:45 when he honestly responded when Si asked him if he knew what it was. THAT is such an honorable, honest and humble response. Willing and wanting to learn. Not many people willing to be honest and vulnerable these days! Good on you Rich!!!!

[@luana1600]

The fossil is epic....but so are many of your other finds! Seriously wowed by the 14th century tile and the trader's tokens! The fossil wins this one!! 🙃🦖🦕👏

[@CountessKitten]

I've always heard about mudlarking through my deep love and study of English history! But, until tonight I was unaware that people actually still do this in this day and age! How fascinating and wonderful of you to share!! I'll be binging your content and cannot wait to see some of your finds!! PS. You're a doll!!! 😍🙃😉

[@debshaw680]

I’ve tried and failed to get my family interested in historical items. The idea of those people who used them in the past stuns me. I collect antique and vintage tea things and table linen. I enjoy using them and thinking of the hands that made them, used them, and loved them. Fantastic finds!

[@Sifinds]

Keep trying Deb x

[@huub1989]

I can identify with you on that Deb, it’s my passion but it’s not something anyone in my family shares with me. Old things carry such resonance, I too imagine those who had the, before me.

[@debshaw680]

@@huub1989 one of my worst experiences was leaving some things in an apartment my parents owned where I’d been staying when I moved out of state until I got settled in my own place. She put a pregnant cat in there. Everything was boxed up in one room except for a 40s apartment size china cabinet, enameled table, and 2 ice cream parlor chairs. I’d been collecting embroidered linens, including a lot of my own work. Much of it Inherited from my great aunt. Hundreds of family photos. Somehow the cat got in there. I don’t know how this all happened because it was a few weeks after I left. But someone had lit a lamp in there. The cat knocked it on the bed. The apartment burned up. I got no part of the insurance money. Somehow, tho, a few years later, I found some of my things in a closet upstairs in the main house and YEARS later found that my sister had a lot of those photos. Stuff I KNOW there was only one copy of. If everything was destroyed, why wasn’t everything destroyed? How did it get into a completely different dwelling hidden in a closet? I try not to speculate because this would have involved my mother and both sisters. But it wouldn’t totally surprise me.

[@huub1989]

@@debshaw680 that’s awful. It’s sad to lose precious and sentimental items in any way. I’m very protective of my treasures, mostly they are irreplaceable and have links to family members who have died. Cherish and protect!

[@thanrose]

@@debshaw680 Miss Deb, I'm right there with you. It's distressing to face the truth of manipulative relatives. To temper your pain, try thinking of the possibility of benign explanations. We each have so much in life, but more important are our memories.

Thank you for all of your videos through the years! I can’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers! Love watching you find treasures and then up-cycle them. You are very creative! Also love the research bits of the history when you are able to add that. I appreciate all the time you put into this channel. Thanks again! I am so jealous of all of the history you have there literally right under your feet. Unbelievable!

I am so bad at 'spot the find' lol. The tile is beautiful considering how old it is! Had to laugh at the people going for a swim but I sure wouldn't walk down to the water with bare feet (not after seeing the amount of pins and nails in the mud). The find of the week for me has to be the fossil.

That's hella cool, my dad has an old push mower and even though he's in his 80s now, he still goes out and cuts the grass every Sunday. Unless it's raining of course. It always amazes me how well built everything was back then, nowadays they build in obsolescence... Shame to them.
