Love watching your old videos so much enjoy x

[@lisalorentz7919]

Enjoying your adventures and banter from the middle of the U.S. Good luck, be safe, and keep it coming!

[@tazzie2shoos]

I have subscribed because of the completeness of your videos, i.e. the intro, the fun of the search and then the history afterwards which is marvelous. So many others don't show the research info afterwards, so I very much appreciate that you do. Thanks :-)

[@Sifinds]

tazzie2shoos Thanks I appreciate that! More to come!

[@triptechable]

Great find! Busy ploughing through these old videos since finding your channel!

[@Sifinds]

Ah thanks pal!

[@toxigenic]

You should call or email the department store owner and see if s/he knows the story of the tokens. Loved this video, it's so neat to get the history behind the finds!

[@Sifinds]

Yes I will, great idea!

[@catgp2015]

Wow, brilliant find!

[@lilianabartha5513]

Hi, Si! I am totally hooked up with your videos. I like pretty much everything: the intro, the music, the attention to details (like the records you are using for presentation , the history lessons, the passion, the adventures, the upSIcle…and I can go on until tomorrow… Thank you for sharing. You are doing a really amazing work. About the bovril medal: I think is BO not 80, like so: BO VR IL from left to right and from top to bottom , VR in the middle common for both.

[@kmmining1359]

Bovril is a great hot drink, put plenty of black pepper in it and drink it piping hot when beach fishing in the winter. :)

[@gregdykes8832]

Really enjoyed the explanation of your finds. Thank you.

[@Sifinds]

Greg Dykes Thanks Greg, appreciated!

[@Tob2n]

Good video, Si. Well done!!! Find of the day for me: the VC lookalike :-) [ it brought back memories ]. ;-)

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Tobias! I bet it did! ; )

[@jakethedude100]

Just bought my first ever metal detector and its all your fault Si!

[@sandybuchart6017]

Love watching your videos, have seen them all and don't mind watching them over and over! Stay safe , from Canada !

[@chrispyskiwiadventures3583]

Cool finds guys especially the old rare coin. I have also detected a bovril medallion all the way over here in New Zealand. Thanks for the history lesson on it.

[@Sifinds]

Chrispys Kiwi Adventures Thanks pal. Wow Bovril certainly got around! I've found a Bovril spoon and lots of glass Bovril jars!

[@yomangull2538]

Nice finds. The James II coin was in excellent condition.

[@mindthegaphj637]

Oldie but goodie.

[@alecbeale1018]

Liking that bovril cross! Nice unusual find.

[@Sifinds]

Alec Beale Yeah it's a bit different. Rare too!

[@charlieclark2609]

I wish we had that deposit system here in the u.s. it may help with with the litter problem. I went to Los Angeles about 10 years ago and while we were leaving , as I looked out of the plane window at the interstate below , I could see piles of trash that had to be at least 3 feet tall on both sides of the roads. We were about 200 hundred feet off the ground I think. I honestly dont k ow if people would go for a deposit system though, if all they got back was less than a dollar or whatever the case may be. People are so wasteful here in the states, not everyone but the majority. I wish I could live in a nicer country, but it's hard to just leave loved ones behind

[@prehistorelicmissouri8600]

Great one, Si!

[@Sifinds]

Thanks so much pal!

[@christinehodge3608]

Just watched your live video, looking forward to see what you found, in the small river or creek,do enjoy the video s

[@ernestodiaz4106]

Hi Simon, I just viewed a video with Nicola and Matt on KZbin, Nicola and you advised me of your channel so I subscribed to your channel, I liked what your finds at a construction area, nice finding

[@whotknots]

The single 'cannelure' featured on the bullet as well as the shape and dimensions of the projectile suggest it may be for a .45 Colt Automatic Pistol or given the location possibly a locally manufactured .455 Webley Scott revolver.

[@paddy1437]

Really enjoyed that. Thank you and look forward to your next one

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Patrick!

[@sherryrector2275]

Wow that coin is awesome.

[@hardyakka6200]

That is indeed a rare coin in great condition. Tin corroded very quickly especially near salt water . That was lost very soon after it was minted. Well done. Rare indeed so nice.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks!

[@jaybales3160]

Very nice discoveries. Interesting artifacts. Thanks for sharing. See you again real soon.

[@Sifinds]

Jay Bales Thanks Jay, you certainly will!

[@HammyHunting]

Another enjoyable video Si keep them coming GL&HH Alex

[@Sifinds]

Hammy Hunting Cheers dude! Appreciated!

[@CH-nq9iq]

You missed a fabulous piece of pottery sitting right next to your bag you were displaying your finds on around 12:30. Love all of your finds especially the old coin!

[@Sifinds]

So we did! There was just too much going on! Thanks for watching!

[@craftylittlerthings]

I'm sure you know by now that is a Masonic pipe. Hugs x Ann x

[@daisyday7610]

Do you act as guides for visitors who want to go mudlarking but aren't familiar with which parts of the river to enter?

[@Sifinds]

Kathleen Sapiro Yes if they are nice to me

[@925inder2]

Great finds gentlemen, congrats! HH, Sebastian

[@Sifinds]

You're too kind, thanks Seb!

[@TomWoodCHESHIREMETALDETECTING]

Hi mate, great vid, especially your mate legging back to get his bag...lol interesting on the James coin, it being made out of tin...and the Bovril medal was a very clever marketing ploy.... I like the way you explain a few of the items at the end, I might pinch that idea off you....haha take care mate GL & HH Tom

[@Sifinds]

Again thanks Tom, by all means use the idea. Thanks for watching. I'll check your channel out when I get time. GL & HH!!!!

[@nascarmommam5915]

[@Sifinds]

Digging Charleston Thanks pal!

[@willmatthews3155]

the ring you found..if it wasn't gold or silver..it could be a salesman's sample as it had an impression inside (letter and number i recall?) not usual even for today's jewellery wholesaler .

[@codycap9502]

subscribed and hit the bell cool video man keep up the good work. Look forward to the upcoming videos!

[@Sifinds]

Captain's Coins Thanks Cap'n! ☠️😀

[@Treasuremonk]

One word! The WELCH! 🤣

[@scottross7250]

New to the channel but some of these finds are great and it seems a lot of people find these little pipes they look so cool really would like to start I have just sent a email to send for the permit but have to wait 4 weeks 🙁 I love the history you show on your channel to your finds...great work keep up the hard work....do you generally go first thing in the morning or do the tide times change is there a chart to follow

[@Sifinds]

Scott Ross The tides change all the time. There is a timetable on PLA website. Yes most of the time we go early morning. Keep an eye on your exits and don't wander to far until you know the landscape. It's a dangerous place to be when the tide comes in.

[@roenamorgan3904]

"While making such 'Crane',noise near that Thames area of the river shore's,Me.Si-Finds,perhaps he could drop a treasure'chest of 'Medieval gold coins,and crowns . . .of princesses,princes' kings' and queens'over'boared".1--14--2021'

[@emmavanursel2610]

So I'm binge watching your video's backwards in time, Simon. So I have seen your video about tips for beginners. But do you have tips about the metaldetector itself? I would use it here on the shore and fields, just as an outdoors hobby, and meanwhile cleaning the neighbourhood :)

[@Sifinds]

Emma Van Ursel each one is different. Read the manual cover to cover and practice in the garden/yard with coins etc and get to know your machine. Practice makes perfect.

[@ChillBill1]

Lovely Tin farthing. Worth a few bob that one.

[@Sifinds]

Yes, I wasn't jealous at all ; )

[@ChillBill1]

If he wants to sell it, I'll pay him catalogue, as long as he hasn't cleaned it! :)

[@Sifinds]

Thanks, I'll let him know - but I think he is keen to keep it, he turned down my offer of a boiled sweet and a Panini shiny of the Leyton Orient team : (

[@ChillBill1]

If that wasnt enough, then Ive no hope. We should do a video together one day.

[@Sifinds]

Chill Bill That would be awesome! DM me!

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

very cool and enjoyed the video, subbed as well

[@Sifinds]

Cheers dude, more vids to come soon!

[@N.I-Detecting]

Nice video and finds lads, well done

[@Sifinds]

Appreciate that. Thanks pal!

[@wollbullit1632]

Please tell us, why an s-shape by the lovetoken, s, stands for?????? Sweetie maybe 🤔

[@pigoff123]

There is a M on the ring

[@scottross7250]

Really want to get into mudlarking what is the best times to go in London

[@Sifinds]

Scott Ross you need a permit first Scott. For more info look on the website www.pla.co.uk. Then check the tide times. It differs every day.

[@franckcastets2535]

Andorra team détection ok for You

[@imcavdb5465]

Why does one needs a permit to 'take a mudbath'? Is it private property?

[@Sifinds]

Imca vdB You don't need a permit to take a mud bath but you do need one to remove items from the foreshore. Why? So they can keep an eye on numbers. Send people latest maps of restricted and no-go areas. Also send people safety advice. The foreshore is owned by The Crown, so yes, technically you are asking permission to search there.

[@pigoff123]

Is the cross a screwdriver

[@Treasuremonk]

What camera do ya use?

[@stoner4life765]

That coke 70s 75

[@davemunch999]

I'm disappointed. I thought your spot the find item was the big gold ring at bottom left of the picture but you never even mentioned it !

[@Sifinds]

Durrington Dave That was a decoy ; )

[@clockwork9827]

What about in the upper right hand corner ??? of the frame, a nice round something ? I was pointing at the screen but i dont think you saw me !

[@PilbaraPrincess1980]

clockwork erw i thought it was something too, but he zoomed past and it was just a rock .. i tgought it was a coin too

[@PilbaraPrincess1980]

Hi Si, im from Australia and was wondering as ive seen in other videos, that youre not allowed to metal detect the thames, only mudlarking... or do you have a special liscense?

[@Sifinds]

Linda Patton Yep, you need a permit to search the Thames foreshore. Check the link at the end of the video.

[@southaussie5108]

"so hot" here in Adelaide South Australia we are expecting a day of 42c ... now thats hot for you englishmen .. er persons.

[@roy8460]

Do you ever sell some of your finds ?

[@Sifinds]

Roy Coll Not actively. Why do you ask?

[@pikeman4358]

to use the metal detector in uk you have to have a lincense or are you free?

[@Sifinds]

For the Thames you need a special permit from the PLA, for inland you need the permission of the land owner.

[@pikeman4358]

How much for this license?

[@TheRealFrankWizza]

Don't spend it all in one place.

[@sherryrector2275]

I never spot it. Lol

[@annettefournier9655]

Tide and time wait for no man.🤣
