The SCORCHED Great Fire of London token FOUND Mudlarking The Thames Foreshore!

[@leemcginnis738]

That 1665 tavern token is really cool. Great history there. Thanks for studying and telling us all about it. Matt's hammered coin is awesome as well. Congrats to both of you.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Lee! Amazing what you can find over a couple of years!

[@daveyjoweaver5183]

Thanks for sharing your intimate times together but seriously, what a great video Si Finds! What great Si Finds! Lucky Mucky! I know you said it was a combination of larks but what fun! Now I can rest on this very hot Sunday here in Pa. I always watch you and Nic's videos and a few other of your larking Pals as well when available. Great histories you gave in Nic's video too! Thanks again Simon and your Larking Buddy as well, Matt I believe, yes? Lots of Luck inna Muck and Love, Light and Peace to you guys and your Families! DaveyJO in Pa.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Dave - yes it's amazing the quality of finds you accumulate over a few years of night larking!

[@samcrawley3839]

I had the pleasure of meeting both Si and Nic yesterday and I would just like to say they are as beautiful and just as nuts as on film. I had the best day even though I didn’t find anything at all and had the mishap of ripping my shorts in the first few minutes of meeting them I would do it all again in a heartbeat ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ xxx

[@Sifinds]

Haha. Hi Sam! RIP and the shorts 🙈

[@SnowPink90]

Oh you’re so fortunate to have met them, how wonderful!!🥰

Hi Si, wonderful finds. 👍 Great video, yes that skyline...wow in such a relatively short time it changed so much! The 1665 token is really interesting & I love how you tell the history and showed the map, thank you for taking the time to do that, really appreciate it, it just adds to the intrigue of your finds! Thank you for sharing...take care, stay safe!

[@Sifinds]

Thank you kindly 🐾🧡

[@BMW7series251]

Brilliant video Si. Such amazing things you find. Thanks for posting.✅✔✅🎆....

My pleasure John! 🐾🧡

[@zannaanna9441]

Love the clean ups, especially when something can go from so unrecognizable like your coin to being able to see every little detail. It's awesome xxx

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Zanna. Yes it’s satisfying to see what lies beneath the crud

[@zannaanna9441]

It's very soothing watching things be cleaned and made into new usable items. I do enjoy that part of your channel, rather than just finding things and leaving it at that we get to see the after as well. Keep up with the good work Si xxx

[@elainecrandall1059]

Love seeing you and Matt having a good time. Always interesting to watch your finds.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Elaine 🧡👍🏻

[@egparis18]

Thank you for sharing the finds and the fun. See you soon.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks pal!

[@yvonnepagan9912]

I have so many comments..... That Matthew is a sweetie! You mudlovers have such a wealth of knowledge, about all sorts of stuff, antiquities and their periods, how to clean and take care of everything you find, you care about the environment and about the people who could use or get hurt by that horrible knife, you search in all weathers, in all conditions, night time as well, and have amazing eyesight to see such tiny objects, even in the dark. I always get a little buzz when I see a new blog from both Si finds and Nicola White. You are both so interesting....and I wanna be a mud lover too! But a bit hard from here down under. At least being in lockdown I have plenty of time to devote to you tube. Thanks for sharing all you trips out with all your fans Si. We are grateful to the max!!! There I think that’s about it..... Hooroo from Yvonne in Melbourne

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Very productive night ... and what a moon to light your way!!

[@Sifinds]

nights, thanks Marcel

[@simhifree2416]

Si I always look forward to your videos. The clean ups are excellent. You're for sure the best at them. All your finds were splendid. Thanks for sharing.

Ah thanks pal!

[@daver8521]

What a great collection of finds! Thanks, Si.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers man!

[@padraicodomhnall2146]

Excellent foraging Simon and Matt, and some brilliant finds. The research you do into some of your finds is always appreciated and makes them all the more fascinating. Cheers lads.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Paddy!

[@robinbradach928]

Matt dressed up for his daytime mudlarking excursion. Nothing like a good bromance. 😊. Your videos are always full of great finds with interesting history. I really enjoy watching your channel!

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Robin!

[@kelly623]

Si! TY, really enjoyed the hunt! Amazing finds. Good to see Matt again, that big goofball! :) Thanks for the great research! You and Nic are wonderful on research and great detail of history on your finds. I love that! Ty again. Kelly/Indiana

[@Sifinds]

Thank you!!

[@rmarino1483]

Just dug up a 1960 six pence this morning here in Canada now I'm watching Si find one. Nice clean up on the token. Great channel

[@Sifinds]

Epic - well done!

[@francineb7340]

It wouldn't be a proper Sunday morning without a lark in the dark in the mud with my fav mudlover Si! (Close 2nd, but not second best is Nic) Great collection of finds. My new phrase of the day is "it's a bit manky" Thanks Si and Matt!

[@Sifinds]

Haha, thanks Francine! Yeah great word for anything a bit rough looking

[@Hailstonepie]

Thank you Si. Great video. Love the history and clean up bit.

[@Sifinds]

Many thanks!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful to be mudlarking with you, day or night. Love the token and the coins you so carefully cleaned. Thanks Si.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Debbie!

[@chuxmix65]

Great fun, as always! Thanks for having us along! That decorative band is beautiful.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Mudlover!

[@loriharader2421]

The decorative band reminds me of a female’s barrette.

[@fairyGrandmother]

Wow Si! That was really fun! Lots of great finds! I'm happy for you! Thanks for taking me along! Hugs!

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Marg! The bar is high now!

[@patriciak8936]

The copper floral band and backing look like they might be the top of a hair comb

[@Sifinds]

Good idea!

[@teracollum204]

That’s what I first thought. Or maybe a hair clip. Mine always had a roll of “teeth” to keep my hair in place.

[@CorrindaCampbell]

Hair clip was the first that came to mind

[@natalieblue6066]

I was thinking hair clip too.🙂

[@betsynace5615]

I was thinking barrette.

[@sallya.2412]

You got a good eye finding even the tiniest things found and in the dark too. Awesome finds on the coins. That band with the flowers on it could have been a hair pin or clip maybe? Love the video Si.

[@beausexon435]

Thank you again for a tremendous adventure - and in particular for going the extra mile to bring us the history as well as the finds. It’s amazing to think that if you hadn’t have found the token, maybe it would have been lost to history forever.

That’s true. Thanks for the kind words!

Your mudlarking videos with you and Matt are ALWAYS so much fun. You two would be a great stand up comedy act 😁😆😂!!! One can really see and hear the endearing friendship you gents share👏😁. Question, my friend 🧐🤔? Was that button you found a Royal Marine? I come from a very long line of USA Marines Corp veterans (4 generations) and would really love to show my brother the video. If it is , any possible date of it? 🕉️☮️stay safe and healthy 🙏. ☺️🤗🤭😘

[@Sifinds]

Hi Juliet. I’m still not entirely sure about the button... yet to be verified, but we have found Royal Marine buttons in the past. Nicola has found a couple on film 👍🏻

That token is amazing. Its much more interesting finding something like this because its real social history unlike a bog standard coin.. I bet the museum wanted that?

[@sergehorion7155]

With less extravaganza and more discoveries (such as in this video), I much appreciate the fact that most of the time I have difficulties to decipher what you are saying (that is my problem, not yours). Do not change in anyway, you are a good character and you developed a precious knowledge of historical artefacts (and a great talent to find them). Tschuss

[@SnowPink90]

I love when you find coins and you can identify them. That’s so cool!! I always show my sons them and we would talk about what it was like back then the coin was made. My favourite author that wrote under several names, but her legal name was Eleanor Hubert, would combine the story with real history and she talked about the great fires of London in two of her books and the way she described it you thought you were right there watching it. I found it so interesting that you found a coin from that timeframe. You must’ve been so thrilled!! Congrats on your finds and I’m happy your friend did find some treasures as well!! Great videos Si!!🌊🐬

I'm gobsmacked, such amazing history, and you lads have gained a lot of knowledge. I knew a lot of the coins before you cleaned them as I'm a numismatist and recognised them instantly. I used to look for coins in Southend on Sea under the rafters that the boats were on .didn't have detectors but coins washed up between the rocks. Amazing video good work.

[@zw5509]

That token is most apt just now. The dread 'Black Death' was raging though London at that time and the Great Fire cleansing is often associated with the ending of the plague. That strip looks like a much beloved hairclip. You can see where someone did a couple of repairs on it to hold it to the backing. So much fun in the details!

[@Sifinds]

Cool ✌🏻
