What fun we're having on this channel -- a little bit of everything. You're really doing a great job of building your community. I look forward to your uploads every week. Thanks, Si! Be safe.

[@Sifinds]

Aw thanks Lisa! Really appreciate that!

[@marthaharris6064]

I love seeing the baby geese on your site and Nicola's also. Brings me so much joy. It just amazes me seeing you bring up those delicate little things like the dress fasteners out of the Thames mud❤

Looks like you two had a great lark! Your videos have become an official Sunday morning institution, thanks so much for posting them. And congratulations to Katrina and Laney!

[@kelly623]

All I can say is WOW! Awesome finds to say the least! Thanks Si!

Stunt double then trips🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️ Glad he wasn’t hurt.♥️♥️ Well maybe his pride🤪

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Thanks, Si, for the lovely history of the Jubilee! You guys had awesome finds! Thanks for taking us with you once again to the foreshore!

[@Jude-to7lw]

Well, Matt did say he was your stunt double. LOL I like how you let the chickens pick the winner.

[@lisaheisey6168]

Some really nice finds, as usual. But, the chickens choosing the winner was just the cutest thing! Lol

[@Sifinds]

haha Thanks Lisa!

[@sondraevans4759]

Aww I love that you rescued the chickens🐣🐥 🐔🐔🌞😎💝

[@nancyhooper7715]

Gorgeous medal!! Love all your adventures so much! Thanks!

[@karenpelletier5707]

The chicken pick was a good laugh! The roman flagon neck was way cool! I think you may have missed a coin just to the left of the bone button find. I was saying there's a coin! There's a coin! Even though you couldn't here me. Lol.

[@antidoteify]

I really apreciate the clean up part plus extra info. narration and content. Brilliant, thanks Simon ;)

[@cawfeebean3697]

This may be kind of an odd thing to admit, but I've had an absolute shite day, having spent most of it at hospital with my dad, and Matt's "stunt double" comment and subsequent stumble was cause for the first real laugh I've had today. Thanks, guys...much, much appreciated.

[@Sifinds]

Glad to hear it pal!

[@avalonjuice8613]

Congratulations to the winners! That Victorian medal is just wonderful!

[@sarah3136]

[@Sifinds]

Magnetic g Yes that wheel was too big to fit in my finds pouch

[@HeyMJ.]

Si-finds Was the wheel removed by the city, national trust or other organization? Excellent condition & seemed to be from same time period as the clay vessel rim w/ handle?

[@luckymindy1]

Great hunt! I really love the history you posted about the Children's Jubilee. What an amazing event that must have been. I wonder if any of those mugs have turned up at boot sales....

[@RalphLaurant]

Excellent video, very creative and the weaving in of your research with what you found makes it especially valuable history.... from America

The shell casing is a German 8mm mauser from 1915

[@Sifinds]

DiggerSteef Ah Thanks mate. Yes don’t our ones have the date on?

[@BigLisaFan]

@@Sifinds The .303 round is a rimmed cartridge. The one that you found is a rimless case. The extractor fits in the groove around the base. Wonder if it came from one of the zeppelin raids in WW I? Seems a bit too old a manufacture for Battle of Britain era.

[@dannyvdlaan]

303 rounds typically have a rim that sticks out as wel as full year of production marked on it

[@andreab6461]

Congratulations Katrina, so happy for you. 😀😀😀I think I got a great prize too as my kids screamed like crazy to see my name go by on the screen as it choose the winner.

[@dr_steve]

I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is to see you back out on the foreshore, Si! You and Matt certainly came across some great finds! That little gosling @ 08:22 certainly looks like he will be a great mudlarker one day. Hope you enjoy the Foragers of the Foreshore upcoming conference. Please share photos/videos!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

I think I found a tudor brick the other day filming a river lark. Stupidly I left it on the bank and never went back to pick it up! Looking at the two pieces you picked up I think it probably was now! I know you would never watch my video but I wish you would just to tell me if it was or was`nt a bloody Tudor brick haha (i`ll go back if it is) Great video and finds as usual :)

[@debbrabossier7284]

Love the top of that vessel. What a find. Thanks for sharing.

[@justdustino1371]

The oldest existing bottle of wine in the world was taken from a Roman era tomb in Germany and it is a rare Roman glass flagern but they didnt use corks or stoppers there was olive oil on top of the wine! I guess that is why the lips are flared like that! Wouldn't it be cool to travel back to 1887 to see Queen Victoria Jubilee events just for a day or so!?!?

[@Sifinds]

JustDustin O' Yes it would! But until time travel is possible we’ll have to make do with this. 😆

[@redcap774]

Thanks for sharing, the time scale of your finds is amazing, if videos like yours had been available in my 1940 school days the history lessons wouldn't have been boring.

First, I would like to say congratulations to the winners. That was an unusual way of picking( or shall I say pecking?) a winner. You guys had wonderful finds. Your buckle and clothes fastener were awesome, and to be able to touch that Roman piece - how marvelous! The story of your friends medal was fantastic. I loved it. Great video and finds.

Another great video bro! Can't wait for the next one. Not sure but I think you might have missed a coin when you picked up the bone button.

[@Sifinds]

bingo butler I will double check. Lol

[@luparabianca229]

The hammer is the same style as a bricklayers hammer. Grazie.

[@kevinryan3012]

The Victorian commemorative medal was drilled at some point after being given, probably to be worn as a watch-fob, sadly that effects its value as a collectible.

[@ScottfromNP]

The cartridge Case.. it’s German 7.92x57 (8mm Mauser). G is makers code for Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik. 9 and 15 is date so September 1915 S67 is case metal.. 67% copper, 33% Zinc. Standard German military cartridge of WW1. Used in rifles and Machine Guns. The primer is missing, but may have corroded.

[@cindyilbcnu763]

Loved the chicken pick of the winner! Always love your vids, Si! Looking forward to some videos from the Thames Forager exhibition later this month! I think you could thread all the clay pipe stems and make bracelets for your Etsy store. Other ideas for them as well if you are interested.

[@Sifinds]

Cindy ILBCNU Yes I have already done myself a clay pipe bracelet and wore it for months. Then it snapped and I cried. Only kidding. Maybe I’ll get Wendy on the case! Lol
