We found a HONEY HOLE of old treasures! A mudlarks paradise!

[@adriannenash9852]

Si "this is why I don't have kids!" after mini-mudlarker starts to cry after his foot gets wet after sinking too far😂

[@Clarytee217]

I get it 😄 Kids are great, as long as I can pass them back to their parents. Mad respect to all parents out there!

[@darlenela5]

😂 Felt that in my bones. Same Si, same!

[@wandapease-gi8yo]

Really glad my parents didn’t feel that way or we would not have gone on vacations!

[@dougzirkle5951]

And this is why I don’t have a cat. It’s next to impossible to stop them from killing things. The jug was beautiful! I loved how the new, clearer sections gave it such a dimensional view looking towards the interior. Sci is so good at this.

[@cathybenson5119]

Nice job on the bottle. 👍 very clever.

[@anitamaney1864]

Awww we miss Steve and his flowing locks (hope his hip is getting better) but that was a real sweet spot in Bottle Creek. Get back there soon! I'm dying to know what else you can find. Get Jesse some mini Mudders so he doesn't sink! 😂 Thanks for the great vid! ❤

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Anita! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@peterkordziel7047]

As a long time viewer of your channel, I have to say this is probably going to be one of your best episodes. I am an artist and historian myself, and I find it to be great to make something whole again, especially when others consider it impossible. Thanks for all the hard work.

[@cksiredower8965]

Yes I agree , well put together video si 😊

[@kathieprater2431]

The onion bottle turned out great, Simon! I love all of the colors in it! Great work!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Kathie! Worth a punt trying it👍🏻🐾🧡

[@EvilUnderTone]

I'm glad enthusiasts like yourself can still find these nice hot spots of bottles. Back in the 1970s my father who was a Met Police officer use to take us clay pipe hunting on the Thames under Southwark bridge. We also use to get dragged to his motorbike grass track meetings where there was a old Victorian bottle dump on some old Ministry land. You could just pick all the pipes and bottles up without digging back then. I had an amazing poison bottle collection which I unfortunately gave away a few years ago... and the pipes too. I remember some very early pipe bowls but not many fancy ones. Harps mostly. Anyway be lucky and loved the bottle. Resin isn't the easiest to work with aye!

[@Sifinds]

Sounds like you had a great childhood! Thanks for joining me on my mudventures. If you ever want to let me know the bottle dump location, please email me [e-mail] Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@TaraFinlay]

I absolutely love how that turned out. In some ways, aesthetically it is more pleasing than a whole onion bottle. You can color resin with alcohol inks like Copic marker refills. But I like how the clear resin contrasts with the bottle color. This is my favorite upcycle yet.

[@Sifinds]

Thanks so much Tara, I debated using dyes, but the job was complicated enough haha. Much love 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@ginkgosunmontana7628]

Great upcycle on the onion bowl! I love your mudventures, always a treat!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@barbaraking6980]

Hi Si, the armless and legless doll you found looks like a Kewpie doll. based on a cartoon strip character by Rosie O'Neill, I think the ceramic dolls were made from around 1912 - the 1920's then they were made in celluloid as well .Wow, some lovely finds. You're going to have to go back there ! The reconstruction of the onion/mallet bottle is awesome, great job 🙂 See you on the next hunt

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@donteague614]

Great job on your onion bottle! Nice piece of history to display.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@kinskifilms]

Aw man, you worked in a Bottom reference? You are my damned hero.

[@kimbateman226]

What a fantastic creek, the amount of treasures you found, but best of all the onion bottle you upcycled was so cleverly done, look forward to the next video

[@yvonnepagan9912]

My daughter is one of your mob, Si ! When she and my other two come over with their own kids, and arguments erupts, said daughter always says, “I’m so glad I don’t have kids!” Love what you do with some of your finds! Pretty cool stuff!❤️😊🇦🇺🦘

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Z!, Dali is my fav artist

[@kareneverett4290]

Definitely one of the top 3 videos you have made. 1. Love that you took the little boy along. He will remember this trip forever. 2. How could you leave that area? So many treasures to be found! 😁 3. I had no idea you were so tall! 4. Love, love, love, the onion bottle. Nicola (can I say her name here?) will love it, as well as the baby doll. Congratulations on such a great video!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! Yes get your craft on! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@robertabessey7990]

Kids are a blast, you just turn it into fun. They are precious and our future. I adore little ones. Yes a handful but worth every second. Just look at the humor they bring. Another enjoyable video from Sci-Finds!!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@bethsmith3421]

Lots of luck in the muck on this outing. The onion bottle upcycle came out great, very creative and beautifully done. Always a pleasure to watch you and your friends on each adventure. I will keep my fingers crossed for you to find a complete mallet or onion bottle. TBH I had to try really hard not to laugh when Jesse freaked out about sinking, typical little kid. Awaiting your next video. Thanks for sharing!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Beth, He's a lovely kid really! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I was laughing because, in all honesty, I've seen certain others (fully grown) in these videos react in much the same way! 😂

[@Sifinds]

@@Lucinda_Jackson haha right!

[@buffbuff5016]

I love watching you upcycle what you have found. You are very clever…I was wondering how the tape would keep the resin from leaking, but you did a fabulous job. You have a lot of patience! Btw ❤️Nelly and Daisy.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡It did take a lot of patience -who needs meditation when you can craft

[@dicebed]

Ha Ha - Old Nelson - just going about the business of being a cat 🙂

Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@jimmymccartan369]

I enjoy your youtube channel. I just joined today. When I was watching you repair the glass, I thought of using shrink wrap tape or bags. That way when you heat the plastic, you have more control of making a good seal and keep the shape of the glass. Many Blessings to you and all of your mudlarking friends, Jim

[@martinmarsola6477]

A great restoration of the onion bottle. Good to see again, Simon. Always enjoy your videos. See on the next! 😊

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@kevinhavens8289]

I wonder if using a balloon would have been easier to do the up cycle on that onion bottle then wrap in papier-mâché pop balloon and then fill in the mold or at least it sounds good in my head of ideas lol 😂 😂😂

[@Sifinds]

I thought balloon too, but it would suck inwards

[@juliegale3863]

Loved that up-cycle, unusual.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@lovelyskull3483]

Fabulous up cycle. It’s amazing what you create Simon. Another great video, thank you.

[@MichaelsAurora]

Amazing restoration of the onion bottle wow!

[@twitchbiddy6880]

The bottle looks fabulous. You’re so creative.

[@elizabethpaints]

Absolutely loved your step-by-step onion bottle up cycle! Couldn't figure out how in the world you were going to do that, and you demonstrated thinking outside of the box using a vice, packing tape and resin. The completed bottle looks like solid glass, it's a jewel in your collection of up cycles. I wonder how many people who were watching are now feeling inspired looking at damaged items in their collections? As always, excellent work Simon😎

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Liz! 😊👍🏻👣🧡 It's nice to think that a few people are inspired to 'give something a go'!

[@karenbright3737]

Incredible really!!! Love love your onion bottle! Well done Sir Simon 🩷

[@maisiekayglassco315]

This was an epic episode! The bottle finds are my favorite and your up-cycled onion bottle turned out phenomenal! What stole the show was when you fed Nelly a shrimp. I laughed so hard! Sheer awesomeness! 😂❤️👍

[@darnprecious1]

Another Epic upcycle..

[@Aegopodium]

Hi Simon. I once had broken a lamp base and the pieces were shattered beyond repair. Most of the base was intact though. I made a clay negative from the remaining base and fixed it so it covered a hole. I then used plaster to fill up the damaged area. After removing the mold and painting the plaster, the damage was nearly invisible. Maybe on the bottle you can use cling film and tape to make the mold.... I am glad to see that I am not the only one to try something that crazy.... 😁

[@Sifinds]

Great suggestion. Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@designed_by_danita]

What a creative upcycle! I also enjoyed seeing your kitties! Although, seeing the feathers was a bit worrisome! Great video! Thanks so much!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@catherinethompson2525]

Jess is too cute!!

[@DougGibson-f9n]

Bottle is really lovely. Work Of art

[@paulkinzer7661]

I was worried when you started the bottle/resin project: the tape looked iffy to me. But the way you took it a bit at a time, and 'making it up as you go' was so successful, as that kind of thing so often is, I find. Well done!

[@Sifinds]

I was worried too, but you've just got to experiment in life. Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡

[@debmc2291]

I thought you were a bit mad to try that with the onion bottle but i'll be damned if you didn't pull it off! Amazing job, Si!

[@julielumsden5184]

The hovercraft hunts are some of my favourites, lots to be found so interesting and fun I can watch laugh and not get muddy

[@rosegilliland1845]
