Great reaction from Jules after casting his eyes on the bust of queen Victoria lol. Priceless!

[@pops557]

Thanks for the video, the cap badge you found from the Rifle Brigade, In 1958, it transferred from the Light Infantry Brigade to the Green Jackets Brigade becoming 3RGJ in 1966 along with 2RGJ The King’s Royal Rifle Corps ( the regiment I served in back in the 70`s) and 1RGJ The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, It continued in British Army service until 2007, when it was amalgamated with three other units to form The Rifles.

[@Sifinds]

Nice one thanks!

[@williamlavagna1096]

I’d like to see a compilation of your favourite upcycles as well.

[@Sifinds]

Yes that had crossed my mind 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Yes, please!

[@martinmarsola6477]

Nice collection of finds in 2022! Congratulations! Just got back to your videos recently, have been hospitalized for three months. I fell and injured my right leg, and while in the hospital, caught Covid 19. No internet in the places in attendance. Glad to be back following again, Si. Best of luck in 2023, and see you on the next. Cheers mate! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

My gosh, you've been through it! Glad to hear you're feeling better.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Happy New Year Simon! I think that this is the year that you will extract the full statue of Queen Victoria from the Thames mud!!!!

[@vrccb]

For each one of these videos I watch, I am learning about our own history. Thank you so very much

[@beedevonlife]

My favorite KZbin channel - absolutely excellent 🎉❤😊

[@dougzirkle5951]

You put so much thought and effort into the development of this video! Well done, sir. A pleasure to watch.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks so much Doug 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@rondabaggett942]

Thank you for a years worth of great videos! I’ve watched every Sunday all year!

[@verachyz9079]

The bicycle lamp is an absolute beauty!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@kathieprater2431]

Thank you for all of your fabulous videos that you put out last year! I loved them all, whether it was the mudlarking, the metal detecting, the group dump site excavations or the Hovercraft History Hunters. I have to say, I loved the bust of Queen Victoria! Imagine seeing her in real life! She looked like a formidable woman, quite unlike Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth the second who looked sweet and grandmother my to me. I just love watching you, Simon and I've enjoyed getting to take part in your adventures and getting to know all of your mudlarking, metal detecting, bottle digging, hover crafting friends. Here's to a fantastic 2023 with many, many excellent finds!

[@andreaparker1057]

I knew it!!! I thought that tin was outstanding when you found it! All amazing finds though! 🤩

[@l.anng.4054]

Thanks for this wonderful round up. Regarding the "wrong" spelling on the trader's token, it's important to remember that spelling was not standardized until relatively recently. It wasn't until Samuel Johnson's landmark 1755 dictionary that any real uniformity emerged in the English language. In many parts of the world spelling wasn't standardized until the 19th and 20th centuries. Also, the education level of most people, especially the 'lower classes' would have been just about nil in the 17th century. People sounded out words, spelt them like they sounded, and everyone else knew what they meant.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

The queen victoria bust was out of this world deffo one for your collection soooooooooooo glad you are never going to sell her ..

[@andreaschopbach4190]

I thought the complete Roman pot would have been on the list!

[@thebrightonbadger116]

Si...the badge at no. 10 is for the poplar and stepney rifles also known as the 17th county of london regt...😀👍🏻

[@brigidaodonnell7053]

I love the bike lamp…how beautiful!

[@Sifinds]

It really is!👍🏻🐾🧡

[@francesjohnson5836]

I was sure your number 1 find was going to be Qyeen Victorria bust. Al of your special finds are awsome!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Frances 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@smokeandkippers]

Bike lamp is my favourite. The restoration gave it such great “before and after” vibes. I’d be made up with the tin and bust though. Good luck for 2023 - I predict gold for you. HH

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡

Thanks so much Kristina! Happy New Year to you too! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@irenejoseph9547]

You might want to check out an episode of Father Brown “The Red Death”. It opens with a shot of a statue that appears to be identical to your find. You really have a treasure.

[@suebarker4851]

I really like your enthusiasm as you find things, plus you keep going and don’t stall. sue in Tennessee USA.

[@vivienanderson603]

Hi Si - Great to have a re cap of your favourite finds. I think my favourite must be the Roman coin. It’s amazing something that old can still be found and in such good condition. (Good old Thames mud!). Have a great New Year and here’s hoping for many more finds in 2023.

[@graemero5532]

[@marydegenkolb9603]

By the way Simon, how is Steve? I remember he had a broken foot or something. I hope he's healed up and had a wonderful holiday!

[@Sifinds]

He's on the mend - he wants to do more HHH trips in 2023!

[@marydegenkolb9603]

@@Sifinds I'm so glad to hear that! Please tell Steve I said hey! I really enjoyed the recap and remember everyone of those finds! Please let all you mates know we here in the USA are wishing them a great New Year!

[@wendymorrison5803]

The Boer War was brutal, brutish and marked by atrocity. The British claimed victory, but it was a nasty win. The man who wore this may have chosen to discard it in the River. To cleanse the memories. I think there would be a lot of people doing that over the centuries.

[@pit_stop77]

I found my torpedo bottle in a charity shop for £1, I don't think they knew what it was 🤣

[@catherinereynolds9637]

Happy new year Si !! X ❤🎉

[@Sifinds]

Happy new year!!👍🏻🐾🧡

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

The bust of Queen Victoria reminded me of the book and movie "The Mudlark" -- so, like the young mudlark in the movie, you have met up with the queen herself!!!

[@Beth_D]

My face hurts from smiling so much! What an amazing year you had! ❤ Predictions for 2023 - you’re going to find a gold coin really soon. In the summer, you will find an onion bottle (not sure where, but I have a feeling you’ll be a long way from home) and after the harvest… a hoard awaits you!

[@Sifinds]

Well that would be epic! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@corbinbacon9043]

I can't believe how good that bike lamp came out mate. Very cool! Here's to many more amazing finds in '23

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Corbin, I was really happy with it 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@ginfonte3386]

The lamp is amazingly restored. Only Si could do this as he's so experienced and takes such loving care with this amazing history. I love this whole video. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I can't believe how many I missed. May 2023 bring even more spectacular finds. I love you, Si. Keep your keen eyes zeroing in.

[@aleta5873]

Agreed. I loved the illumination--it was dreamy.

[@dr_steve]

Thank you for this absolutely lovely video, Simon! It is extremely well-produced and edited and the finds are wonderful, too! Happy New Year, mate, and here's to a year of good health, happiness, and many mudventures in 2023.

[@primitivetennesseechicks8740]

The bronze bust of Victoria is my favorite...just so random, rare and I'm so glad it is yours! Well deserved, Simon! Thank you for all the wonderful video's and sharing your amazing experiences....I enjoyed my mudlarking experience this past September...14 wonderful days in London and several visits to the foreshore...meeting Nicola, Tobias and Marie and Jason at Waterman's Hall was just so so special. A dream come true. Blessings in 2023 and excited for more of your discoveries....WHO KNOWS WHAT'S IN STORE!

[@hazel3564]

So amazing! Can’t wait to see what you find in 2023. Have a wonderful year!!

[@ForgottenFossils]

Amazing finds, what a well put together video.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks so much! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

For find #1 -- looking at your "boat" made me think of the great quote from the movie Jaws: “You're gonna need a bigger boat” 🙂

[@loismiller2830]

Good thing you discovered the cannonball on a hovercraft trip, not when you were out on Rob's tiny boat. I'm looking forward to all the great finds of 2023. Thanks for all the great content, Si. Happy New Year.

[@TheDandob1982]

Boar War cap badge and bicycle lamp my personal favourites Si. I’m physically unable to detect or lark so thanks for providing me with a Sunday fix this year. All the best for 2023.

[@drunkdunc8738]

Number one’s been pinned as an open and shut case , Si’s Brightest find for the year 🍻
