Old city dump BOMBS, GOLD and WW2 name plates

That beautiful emerald green poison bottle would turn out beautifully if you put it through a rock tumbler with a fine grit. A rock tumbler can remove the "sick" from glass, and sea glass, making the bits appear shiny and clear like little gems. Love the brass look on the bottle too. 😊

[@droolingfangirl]

That metal plate with the figures on the boat might be the seven lucky gods on the treasure boat. On New Years in Japan the seven lucky gods are supposed to arrive on a treasure boat.

Si-Finds, Send an image of that flamingo colored bead to Northern Mudlarks. Ask them about the brothers in the 20s making Egyptian style jewelry. The beads are apparently on the rare side, as bead collecting goes. Gail and Alex can fill in the details for you. Nice gold. 24K?

Just want to remind you how much we appreciate the work you put into your videos. I love the deep dives into the history of your finds. Thank you!

[@Sifinds]

Aw thanks so much! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@joan7823]

Kevs a great one for finding things....

[@annescott2748]

I'm glad you took the sink home. When I first saw it I was thinking it would make a nice planter for flowers in a garden, but your sink installation is a great idea!

[@solveiggustafsson1397]

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

Your trips to the dump nerve fail to excite me. Green bottles, coins, chins, doll faces, mortar shells, and old newspapers. I bet Kit a Caboodle and Norther Mudlarkers would love to spend a day or two hunting the dump with you and your friends. I would too but as I am in Kansas USA and 70 yrs old the chance of my getting to the UK is slim at best. I'll just live my mudlarking thrills through my KZbin friends. Please stay safe. ❤

Hi, at 7.38 the page from the book is a chapter called the Potter’s Field, the poor people’s burial ground in the New York City slums mid 1880’s. The book is called How the Other Half Lives by Jacob Riis who was wealthy man who lived in the tenement slums of New York and wrote what he saw. Book came out in 1896 or 1898 I believe. Interesting you found in the dump in England during that time period!

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Gordon! Amazing

You do a great job of honoring veterans, Si - very admirable.

[@dannymatthews6365]

Thank you Si. That was a fine tribute to a forgotten soldier and being the son of a soldier who fought to free the world of evil in 1945, I appreciate the effort you’ve put forth in bringing his memory back. If he has surviving family they should be proud of him.

[@lechatel]

I use pot lids as kitchen hooks. (I used to live near Stoke and could get lots of pretty odd lids from Spode and other top manufacturers) I fix several different ones to a piece of wood for an eclectic set for hanging over gloves, tea towels etc.

The Navy Cut sailor looked like my late mother’s grandfather - or so everyone said - no one could remember him as he “vanished” about 1930 when his kids were little (bigamist…) but the Navy Cut Man was how he was always described.

[@Sifinds]

Blimey

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Ouch !!

[@Mudhooks]

Golly! Most families have someone who vanished to be found later with a whole new family. I have a relation on my mother’s maternal side whose wife had to put an ad in the paper after her husband ran off. Then she had to get a divorce. Of course, divorce actions were always published, often with the sordid details. In his case, it wasn’t just the local papers but also the professional journal for pharmacists and chemists. It must have been an embarrassment because all his brothers and a sister plus several uncles who were in the profession.
