Ink Island, here's what happened. There was a writer's conference in 1817, just after the Year Without a Summer. All the best writers were there. There was Jane Austin, Lord Byron, the Bronte sisters, George Elliot and many more. They were all plugging along, working on their novels and poetry and having a great time. Then Mary Shelly showed up and they all gave up. They threw their quill pens, manuscripts, clay pipes, wine bottles and inkwells in the river and went home. To this day, we still don't know what they were working on.

[@drunkdunc8738]

Ever since Ink Island was formed it's been a blot on the landscape 😲🍻

My ancestors left England in 1622 for America. I have always been fascinated by English history and your mudlarking. Thank you.

[@Samphire2]

"save the worm" got a warm smile from me, i always feel like you can trust a person who doesn't want to hurt anything no matter how small it is. I have never actually seen a ragworm before, only the marks on sand where they hang out, very interesting! Aside from that, very interesting vid, i am glad you didn't pass up the chance to dig at the Victorian fly tip, nice find.

[@andrewince8824]

Rag Worms bite. Great bait but they fight back.

[@TheVangogh57]

I remember my brother telling me when I was a kid to be careful with the rag worms because they bite?

[@mmme9671]

I like Steve 's haircut. Great video as usual.

[@blondeenigma3882]

When we were young we were chuffed to find empty Clarks lemonade bottles because you could return them to a shop and get 5p for them. At that time you could buy a lot of Blackjack or Fruit Salad chews for that ! Loved that serpent pipe and the ' matador ' lid.

[@Sifinds]

They should bring it back!

[@nicolepowell5470]

Love the banter when you all get together. Love listening to Steve on Steve cam very funny

Super video. I use old mattress springs to keep the torpedo bottles in . stay safe...Vic..

Nice idea!

Damn good idea about the springs.

I just love the variety of activities in your videos, as well as the fun of seeing you and your friends out enjoying a great trip! The estuary is a really interesting place…you just never know what will be revealed.

[@oges74]

I'm confused if the fly tipping island is the crime scene, or the bad jokes 🤔😂 I would definitely watch your TV show Ink Island, sounds much better than Love Island 😂 a lot of beaut looking ink found there

[@Sifinds]

😂

[@73beetle19]

I was wondering the same thing?

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful finds on INK Island, thanks so some lazy barge crew. I love your torpedo bottle stand too!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Debbie 👍🏻🧡🐾

[@screwthecabal6453]

I gotta get me one of those bubble green blown torpedo bottles one day........ NOT CAST FROM CHINA WHERE THE GREEN GLASS IS SO CLEAN YOU CAN SEE THE STARS THROUGH THEM!!! AT NIGHT!

[@Birdbike719]

With s strong stand it would make a lovely bud vase

[@tomst9417]

The serpent pipe is a very cool find. Love that green glass bottle with the crest, good luck with the gold leaf application, if it adheres to the glass it will look fabulous. Ink Island looks like a fertile place for very interesting finds, I hope the HHH team returns for another go.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Tom!

[@seashoremudlark3916]

Now this video ...luv the torpedo and Hiram codd. Nice cut downs. Can't wait to see royal crest gilded...or not its fantastic!

[@MsCripplex]

If you find an old bed spring they are thicker and may balance well, great idea just a thought. Thanks for posting I am a quadriplegic and used to take my kids tip larking in a dump and lake edge us. Totally amazing, be safe!

[@iriswaterford8881]

We are enjoying each video you put out. The mateship between you & treasures you find, the trash to art is a joy to watch. Good to see the progress of the beetle 🪲 as well.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@eddiek0507]

Great Video, Some nice bits and pieces found, Interesting history about the Codd bottle, I do like the clay pipe with the thistle & rose on it...🙂👍

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Ed!

[@LindzTheLooneyOfLondon]

A suggestion, for the bottles that are too damaged to cut down the normal way how about cutting them lengthways creating a dish shape that can be used for storing poket ephemera, jewellery or as a desk tidy. As ever I love your videos thank you so much for sharing x

[@LindzTheLooneyOfLondon]

Ps. Thinking of bottles that have writing you would like to highlight there is a product called buff it (other similar products exist) which is a wax that will give a faux guided look.

[@Sifinds]

Nice idea, but the text will be lost

[@yvonnepagan9912]

Man oh man! What a great outing, lads! Some spectacular finds. That illegal dump was in your favour. I would have thought you’d have brought that slab of marble home. That would have done nicely in one of your creations, Si. That lovely translucent ink and bottle were just gorgeous! Will they stay those pearly, bright colours? That worm thing looked of another world! YUK! And the weather!!!! October and 30C! We really do have proof of global warming! See you next time guys…..Thanks for sharing. 🦘❤️

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Yvonne, not all my videos are filmed this week... I save some months ago... sometime I might go out three times in a week, then save them for when I can't go out. : ) Glad you enjoyed it though : )

[@karinkasupski7234]

I was cracking up 😂 at the comment “There’s more on Ink Island than there is on Oak Island!” So true

When you first stopped at ink Island, I thought they'll never find anything there!! HUH, you proved me wrong. There was so much good stuff there.

Thanks Amanda!

[@sarahstrong7174]

I wonder what was in that GPO bottle? Was the Post Office dosing up their employees with something to help them withstand the winter weather? Was one of the perks of working for the Post Office access to a clinic? There must have been some particular reason for them to have produced bottles saying G.P.O. on them. Maybe they had a clinic for GPO employees in a particular town?

[@elainemurphy2406]

Brilliant as usual si, I'd love to come with you on a dig, love it so much x
