POPPY❣️ Haven’t seen her for a long time! Such a nice addition on the garbage dump and mud larking adventures. Seems like a sweet easy going companion in the videos. Funny Anna was here in minds and hearts too. She and Poppy are usually at the same outings. Does your deaf (?) friend/mud larker hear at all? Just curious, a good friend’s sister is completely deaf but, is an incredible lip reader! If I move my head she will tell me, “can’t see your face!”. Fantastic that she speaks, like your friend does too. Incredibly helpful when communicating (or trying) with her or someone else with the same disability. Thank you for another fun time on the shore of the Thames. Along with, a always interesting upcycling project. Of course seeing the handsome black kitty is a wonderful treat too! Had two female black kitties, love and miss them greatly. Now that I’ve written more in one comment, than in all of the years (5 or 6) subscribed to the channel 😆 Take care of yourself and be kind to others for no reason.

[@Sifinds]

@@ImaLeshLushnIcantgetmyPhil cheers LL, no he’s completely deaf, and from Poland, so two obstacles to overcome 👍🏻🐾🧡

Very early bullet,1880-1890, wood inside so upon impact it would splinter causing further injury and to promote infection.

Yes u ind alot of history artifacts kool

[@mountainmantararua8824]

Hello Si, the pointy thing on the knife is called a 'fid' we used them for splicing rope, it opened up the lay of the rope (small stuff). Enjoyed the video. Cheers from NZ 😀😀

[@KimMiller-wg7kf]

It’s so interesting seeing your accidents as well as successes

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Kim. It’s what makes us human and hopefully encourage others to give things a try without fear of messing up 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Greetings from Michigan, U.S.A. Thank you for the wonderful way you incorporate the historical presentation amongst the mudlarking. Education and enjoyment in one video. I'm 🪝 hooked!

[@joellenmeek658]

The way you spot those coins is amazing. I’m sure your eyes get used to seeing certain shapes that stand out in the muck. Great luck in the muck.

[@Sifinds]

Yes they get used to seeing manmade objects. Thanks 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@sianwarwick633]

Very enjoyable all 'round, Si, the Muddy Adventures of Simon and His Friends . I never would have had the patience to keep on with that ring - but it's the process that makes the piece. Here's to Sweet Suzanne !

[@paulkinzer7661]

I love how, in this week's video's, both you and Nic (Hi, Nic!) found squashed rings. You did a great job making yours whole again, and I'd love to hear them both tell their stories!

[@Sifinds]

Yes wouldnt that be incredible

[@janiebennett5645]

OMGoodness!!!! Your comment about making a Museum moist made me laugh loudly. Too funny!! Thanks for the video and the chuckle!

[@jq5609]

Learning to sign would be a massive achievement for you & a great help in communicating, keep trying Si 👍 😀

[@Sifinds]

I will thanks JQ 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@AleXIXandra]

Sooooo many finds!! I lol-ed so hard at the suppository part 🤭🤭🤭 love your videos, Si, I'm addicted.

[@gregorygilman8461]

Dear Si ; To make a ring round again, clamp a used tapered ring mandrel in a vice...put the bent ring onto the ring mandrel, then add a tube of metal, perhaps thick copper, or something harder like soft steel...tap the ring down the mandrel slowly, carefully turning the bent ring upside down and then tapping some more...can turn a bent ring round again. It's a skill worth having/knowing. Cheers.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Greg. I will check it out 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@deborahvoigt581]

Such interesting finds and always good to see Nelly.

[@joellenmeek658]

I could watch you up cycling all day. Loved the ring and key.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers JoEllen 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@enduringhope6859]

This lark and upcycle was so enjoyable to watch!! Watching your videos are always on my Sunday 'to do' list!

[@Sifinds]

Aw thanks so much 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@enduringhope6859]

@@Sifinds You are welcome!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

What a great day! Loved seeing Poppy having fun poking around and chasing sticks. And I need to thank you for the lovely footage of Nelly - he’s such a beauty, though maybe not at his best while wolfing his food! 😂 Lots of good stuff this day for you and your friends. I don’t remember Michal from before, so perhaps he’s not been on camera or I just missed him. He’s certainly got the eye - he found some really fantastic pieces! Including your misplaced tripod! I think my favorite of his finds was the sweet little mouse on the pipe stem. It’s seems impossible that something so delicate could survive the rough and tumble of the tides and all the rocks. Always like seeing the coins - so plentiful, yet such a variety. And I like the stone marbles. I’m also a fan of the type and I’m guessing you have some fun arranging it into words. That phrase was a fantastic find - I’ve never seen one before this! I hope someone comes up with what it might have been used for, book, sheet music, pamphlet... You found a couple of my other fave - keys! And your upcycle project was inspired! It looks perfect and displays beautifully. I never would have thought of attempting it and certainly wouldn’t have been able to carry it off. And good work on the ring! It didn’t work out exactly as planned, but you got to practice a new skill and, in the end, it’s lovely. Looking forward to your next adventure! Have a lovely week! 🪙🗝💍

[@Sifinds]

Thanks so much Lucinda! Have a great day. Appreciate the lovely comment. 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@kimbateman8633]

Just for such a narrow piece of foreshore what a lot of interesting finds, the end result of the key was really good and love all the upcycling ideas, nice to see poppy and the guys

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Kim! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@SundaysChild1966]

LOVE the kitty sound effects - chomplickchompchomp .. lol .. they do enjoy the gravy, don't they?

You have found all the keys to my heart! Thanks for the little Sunday adventure Si💜

[@Sifinds]

Aw thanks Leigh 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@marybeth6272]

You are correct about the half dollar coins. That's a good find. The 1964 half dollar coins are 90% silver.

[@thurin84]

and the 65-69 ones are 40% silver.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mary

[@lexieslarksandcrafts]

Well done with the ring Si, love the addition of the stones too. Really great job with the key. Poppy is beautiful too

I miss mudlarking ! Hi Jules! I love how you are so good at explaining everything and showing examples! Thank you

[@elisabethgreen1268]

I have found false teeth while beach combing lol. I have a pic somewhere with a crab claw sticking out of them. The key turned out so beautiful!!! Really great Si! Thanks for another epic video!

[@oldiesoutdoors]

good video Si ... the end lock part of your old key is called the Bit. The gap or cut outs in the Bit are called Wards ..

[@theklawilkinson6217]

A Nelly cameo - thanks Si. Loved seeing Jules & Poppy. What a great type days. I love those bits. Always amazes me how you find those tiny types. Love the upcycles! Great finds on a dreary day. Hope you had an awesome bday last week!

[@Sifinds]

Thanks so much Thelka. I had a great birthday too thanks! And just got back from a Scottish gold adventure 👍🏻🐾🧡

I love watching you fix old things ❤️ You’re so clever (plus you have the patience of a saint!) I hope you have pockets full of gold by the time you read this x

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Beth. Not quite pocket but a few nice flakes and a lovely time

[@julielumsden5184]

This was a great time for all three of you, everyone found such interesting relics. I empathize with Jules as both of my wrists are painful. I noticed Poppy eating something I hope if it was on the shore it was safe or that Poppy has a strong stomach Thanks for such an interesting time I look forward to your videos each week they are my special Sunday night program to watch once I’ve settled into bed

Cheers Julie. She was just chewing a wet stick 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@Sifinds]

You got it 👍🏻🧡🐾

[@jonathancampbell5523]

US half dollars are still made and in circulation, but not used as much because vending machines don't take them and they are large and heavy.

[@canaan5337]

The only place I know of that uses a lot of 50 cent coins is WVU‘s football stadium at least they did the last time I went to a game probably 10 years ago they had everything priced to either it was an even dollar amount or you got 1 big coin or no coins at all and they wasted no time counting change which was good because it was always packed with people but the line moved pretty quickly.

I enjoyed watching you tart up the key - really good result ! It's funny how things happen, but I learned how to say thank you in BSL through watching Rose on Strictly last year !

[@Sifinds]

Ah yes. What an inspiring woman she is 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@maarinabudd]

Some lovely finds there Si, I'm an avid mudlarking collector of things too -mainly blue and white china for crafting but I do love finding Roman Tesserae, Staffordshire Slipware and Thames Type! The enlarged old rusty new key handle that you have upcycled is fab and was originally from an old scaffolding clamp, it would've had a square plate attached which slotted in to a 'U' shaped bracket that would wrap around the scaffold pole and then the bolt with the square plate would be slotted into the bracket and tightened up keeping the scaffold pole in place in the 'U' bracket, sometimes the discarded/lost old 'U' brackets can be seen out on the foreshore 🤗

[@Sifinds]

Nice one Maarina 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@michellebeck7832]

Love your key art Simon xx

[@elinkeykramme6511]

Ohhhyy that Old Key turned out just as if it was born like that 👏🛎

[@diyardley5213]

Another excellent video Si - maybe one day you can show us your alleygobs and explain how to play the game? I adore your restorations - you have such patience! I thought it was all over when the ring broke - and you do make me laugh with your expletives, especially when you burnt your table! I'd missed you last week - this episode has more than made up for it! And Poppy is always such a joy to see, bless her!

Hello from Australia. Love your videos Simon. It's great that you are using sign language to communicate with Michal. I think you were actually signing 'please'. To sign 'thank you' (at least in Australia) you start by moving your hand away from your mouth a little then with your palm up, point to the person with your pointer finger (while at the same time saying 'thank you').

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Heather. Maybe your sign language is upside down 😉
