The old ginger jar would have to be my favourite. Wonderful finds

[@Marcel_Audubon]

my friends Lea and Perrins will like that bottle (I think they still live in Worcestershire)

[@VoklstWestie]

4:09 yes Pronounced Lee & Pair Ins! He really needs to watch more Nicole she has found several of those. No worcestershire on his steak or burgers!

[@kayesdigginit1519]

I've driven in Worcestershire and been to the safari park in their region. My then 7 year old and I had a grand time feeding the giraffes and such. 😊 Lea and Perrins never showed 😂

[@rosespink8834]

Love the barnacles! We keep old bottles to use as vase, or put small lights in and my favourite. .. Sea glass!

[@carlhilliard677]

I used to dig there in the 70s before the houses were built.I remember the brickworks were still standing.The RE Canteen bottle is in Brompton Chatham and stands for Royal Engineers canteen.Ginger beer variants RE canteen Chatham and RE canteen Deal are very rare.I love that victorian quack cure you found

[@samscarboro6805]

Enjoyed watching your outing! Ginger jar find is awesome & cool bottles too! Great idea for the up cycling. New mud shoes, wow smart!

Hey, with that ginger jar...maybe it was an urn and the lid sealed to keep the persons ashes in! Hey Nic would love that little face you found!! Yes leave the barnacles on!!! Sweet!! Cheers!!

[@lisafarr2317]

Fab what u have done with the old, broken and unwanted u found on your muddy adventures. Great vid as always.

[@christinetucci9227]

Holy Moly are you kidding me with that ginger jar?! Utter perfection.

Great stuff Si. Flo is a little honeypot. More mud, more relics, bottles and innuendo please.

[@Sifinds]

Coming right away Sir 👍🏻

[@lindaodellvt]

It makes me nervous when you plunge your bare hand in the muck - I wonder how many fingers you'll still have when you pull it out! Love the mud boots, 100% improvement over the snowshoes! It's great that you turn trash to art when you upcycle your bottles, gorgeous vases, candle holders. Lots of labor involved!

[@Sifinds]

Linda Odell Thanks Linda, I just love feeling the history in my bare hands! Thanks yes it’s a labour of love

[@lblue2247]

Although I know you are careful and such, I still feel anxious when you pull jagged bottles out. You are a true artist.

[@kayesdigginit1519]

I got very nervous also 😬

[@jamesandersonanderson3502]

I like people who make Art out of discarded things.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

I love the fact that you upcycle the old bottles into something useful! And they are beautiful. Please keep the barnacles on the two bottles that have them! And I love your ginger jar and pharmacy bottle!

[@Runestone54]

Another good vid 😃 The torpedo buttom you can put on top of any other bottle you've cut for tealights perhaps 😊👍 Looking forward to your next adventure 😁

[@Mountlougallops]

Every piece is beautiful. So glad to see your recycling saving these beauties.

I live in Moncton, New Brunswick, not far from Saint John! That bottle is an awesome find ! I wonder how it ended up there!

[@sunrunneroldbottels223]

pots were stacked on top of each other in the kiln . some times the glaze would run and stick. glaze being then all it wood tack is a tap to break it off. , living the ring .

[@markallchorn2438]

Always nice to see marine enhanced items, keep those barnacles on, after all it's part of the bottles history, and can't be recreated without mother nature. Every time l find another bottle it makes me think about the person who originally bought it from a shop, that probably isn't there anymore, when l was young in the 60s corner shops were everywhere, and everyone knew each other in friendly communities, that gave you a sense of happiness, there were lots of smiling faces, which sadly as time went on disappeared with the closure of the little shops, as the big supermarkets moved in and stole the trade away, my dad always used to say money ruins everything, and now that I'm older l can see what he meant. But the great old bottles remain, nostalgia now from a nicer past, and made by hand, with a new beginning thanks to your great imagination Si

[@trevorsmith7372]

Nice awesome show I love it! Have a great day

[@clckclcktink4011]

I love the jars you find. I would keep everyone I found, so decrotive.

[@anorangeapeach2157]

I love the ginger jar! How amazing! ♡♡♡

[@RuralSpanishRetirement]

Your ginger jar looks like a traditional Chinese pickle jar. It's missing the collar around the top and the lid. The idea being that you put water in the collar and when you place the lid on top it creates an airtight interior. So long as your pickled veg is submerged in brine they will keep for several years, they just get more tangy 🤪 as they ferment. Google it, there's loads of images. Very enjoyable video, I'm catching up 😊 .

[@barbaracatalano6299]

Loxie so pretty! Love the history you share.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Marlene!

[@tereselapree222]

Love your new mud shoes! The good stuff is out there in the muck ! Love the ginger jar! I wonder if it could have been an urn for ashes?

[@martinemjt]

to cut the broken bottles is a great upcycles! the bowl is really impressive!

[@MsDig65]

The ginger jar / temple You found is Japanese, often given at weddings etc with many of the simple inscriptions bearing words like, luck or wealth. When they were used to export goods the lids were sealed with a bit of slip inside the lid and wax on the outside. I believe the one you found maybe circa 1800 - 1850.

[@MsDig65]

I've sold a few of these and have one the same as yours, the painting probably is whatever came in the jars as they were not just used for ginger .

[@lyarnes]

Hey Si darling, I'd love that bottle, for obvious reasons 😁. And my B-Day is in August 😉

[@Sifinds]

YES! Ok, I'll get it up on the etsy store asap!

[@MoYvStarkey]

Will you ever do an episode showing us how you re-work the bottles? I'd like to see your shop.

[@allanturpin2023]

Hi there. Si has done a segment on cutting his bottle finds. It's at the end of one vid... but not apparent from the title. Sorry that's not much help, but if you go through his old vids you'll come across it... I don't think it was too long ago.

[@allanturpin2023]

OK... just did a little digging. Si shows the process at the end of Epic Thames Bottle Beach Mudlark w Nic Part II.

[@MoYvStarkey]

@@allanturpin2023 Thanks

[@jodivandyk3649]

Sometimes potters will add texture to a vase that was intended to be an art piece. It looks intentional to me. That would be why it's embedded into the glaze. Beautiful find! (I studied art and design in college. )

[@christinehodge3608]

Amazing bottle find,

[@grahamrowland1502]

Interesting finds in the mud and nettles ,KEEP the BARNACLES.

[@cyndeecollings5738]

Si you have got to have the strongest legs in the world. Watching you walk around in the deep mud you would have to carry me out after about going ten feet.lol l can’t wait when I start one of your videos just to see what great finds you get. Love it when you and your friend go out in the air boat. Good luck in this new year look forwards to every video you do!!!!

Aw thanks, I should have given her a brush before her big debut appearance!

[@sandybuchart6017]

Hi from Canada ! I was looking at the bottles you cut down and loved how some are very thick glass !

[@MrPicunit]

The ginger jar, vase, could be appraised by Sotheby, Chinese antiques, The hand decorations, quickly applied, along with the utilitarian glaze. Where the glaze did not hold, could be attributed to imperfections in clay, bits of iron, etc. Since the end product was destined for the average consumer, some imperfections would be tolerated, beautiful non the less. Good eye si

[@Sifinds]

picunit Thanks, I love it. Not sure it’s Sotheby’s quality though....

[@amandapittar9398]

My favourite is the Chinese Vase, it’s beautiful. Needs some research eh? My second favourite - your new mud overboots. I now want a pair. Part of the Serious Treasure Hunters Equipment. I still remember lemonade coming in glass bottles and taking them back to get the refund. Makes me feel like a dinosaur. I also remember feeling SO cheated when they stopped. No more collecting bottles for extra pocket money...the bottles are gorgeous when you are finished with them. I want some for my brushes I think..😊🌸😊🌟🌟🌟

New York State requires a refundable 5 cent deposit on its soda and water bottles. I’m surprised you guys haven’t done that given how you are way more ecology friendly than us. Great video as usual. Very informative.

Lea & Perrins sauce! Love it Lea! Fancy footwear for all the fashionista Mud larks this year. What the well dressed muck lover wears for the summer in England. Simon, you are so clever to repurpose these beautiful bottles. They would have surly just continue to be crushed up. But now, people can have a true piece of London and British history in their homes. I love the ginger jar. My mother had one very similar. The lid is almost like the smallest glass cup you have on the table. I think there was a metal adornment around that seam. Just a guess.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Mary!

Your mud shoes are very reminiscent of Herman the Munster's shoes from Adams Family. Old TV show from the 1960's(🤦holy crap...just dated myself!). Not sure if the UK had it on TV?

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

Great finds Simon and Thanks for sharing them with us. Those new mud larking shoes look like they work well, eh? The ginger jar looks as if there was another pot sitting on top when it was fired and stick due to the composition of the clay and then tapped off. That's if it was fired before glazed. Thanks again Si Finds! Love, Light,Peace and Luck in the Muck! DaveyJO in Pa.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks pal, Maybe it was fired with the lid on, them tapped off to provide a perfectly fitted lid that won't slip off? That's my own, and favourite theory so far...
