Simon worked his butt off to dig up that sign! Shows how dedicated he is to a project! For a minute I was afraid Nicola was going to be sucked into the mud with her beautiful glass dome. Mudlarking is work!

[@toninajohnson1355]

I watch you and Nicola and friends faithfully. I'm planning a trip to London to go mudlarking next year. You guys inspire me. I had mastectomies and reconstruction early this year I want to celebrate being cancer free with the river. U hope to meet you guys when I come somehow. It's my fondest wish.

[@Sifinds]

Tonina Johnson Congratulations on being C free! I hope your wish comes true!

[@nicolawhitemudlark]

Great video Si! Your talents are never ending. I love that recycled River Beyonce box. Can I have my pipes back now :) See you soon for some more river adventures.

[@lynettebonham3083]

Good on you Si for rescuing chickens! 🐥💕

[@PeachSt8Digger]

Two of my favorite people! I could watch all day long and never be bored. Si, you are so talented. Re-purpose of finds the imagination to think of ideas...I just love it. The box s fantastic. You were determined to get that sign out one way or another. Nice supervision by NIc....lol Love you guys to bits. Stay safe and well and I'm going to keep n watching!

[@Sifinds]

Karen Yeoman Thanks Karen! Glad you liked it all!

[@christybriggs1737]

They feel like friends, don't they?

[@PeachSt8Digger]

@@christybriggs1737 They may be mainly virtual but I have spoken to many of them in messages and on live streams. They are great people, with wonderful personalities. I love the Man with the Hat, Stephen Auker. He has larked with Si and Nic, too. Good friends, lots of insight and GENUINELY care about others. Cheers!

[@lyarnes]

Didn’t you all find one of those domes before? That box may be one of my favorite upcycles ever! Well done!

[@Sifinds]

Leah Yarnes Same one but this is the whole trip from that day x

"That Box" is a fabulous upcycle...and rescuing chickens or any animal is absolutely the BEST thing a human can do...Good On You!

I really enjoyed the whole video and always enjoy them. But, my favorite part was seeing that you've rescued chickens. ❤

[@padraicodomhnall2146]

Great video guys. I must admit I was a little underwhelmed by the enamel sign when you first dug it out of the mud, but WOW! that box you made from it just blew me out of the water - you are so creative Si. Love your work. And the news that you have rescued chickens - what a man!

[@fionasimagination]

Same here! Seeing the chicken at the end, made me so happy!🥰

[@jackiebeans2689]

Wow! Great box! Is there anything you can’t create? Very nice! Nice 🐓. Thanks for the adventure!💕

[@wastenotwantnotArt]

That box is truly unique Simon ! You are both so creative Si & Nicola. Just right to keep the lemonade sign untouched as it was perfectly distressed in all the right places. I'm envious of that glass dome Nicola. Amazing unbroken find And those sweet little hens have found a lovely home with Si too Ahhh👍🏻🙂

[@connie736]

You Simon, are a multi talented man and you keep chickens to boot. Nice!

[@Sifinds]

Connie I don’t keep them to boot 🥾 that would just be cruel 😂

I watch lot of your videos and some of your finds are great, I would suggest adding a folding Army type folding shovel a spritzer bottle with water and light soap, a soft painting brush 3"ld do the trick and make life a little easier for you good hunting .

[@nancypeteja6560]

This was fun! I have never heard of "Mud Larking" so I Googled it. What awesome treasures you find. Love the box! Look at all those pipes. Makes you wonder about the people that used/owned them! Thanks for sharing.😊 👍 💖 💱☕🍴🍷+🍼🍺🌊

Now that’s determination! Well done Si 😅

[@frederickletch5679]

Hi Nicola. Love watching you and Si Finds on video. We have just received our licences so we came back from Hastings after a weeks holiday and today we went to foreshore by The Globe. My partner found lots of glass and I found some pieces of pottery. Also brought back a large nodule of Flint which I break up and use in bushcraft for Flint and Steel fire making. We really enjoyed being back on foreshore. Hope one day to meet you and Si Finds. That would be great.
