Looks like a Daimler hub cap. 🤘

[@phoebebrown2883]

My very thoughts.

[@cazzaa5012]

Yes, Daimler and is more than likely the horn button, seeing as it was found in the middle of a steering wheel..

[@TurkishBenAirsoft]

Beat me to it lol

[@Sifinds]

Spot on. Well done! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@moonwillowschronicle5435]

@@cazzaa5012 I believe you are 100% correct.

[@SammiWhizzme]

I find it amazing that for how long you have been mudlarking (and how many mudlarkers there are) you find so many amazing things each time! Coming from Australia it is fascinating to the see the different layers of history uncovered in the same places.

Cheers Sam! It’s certainly getting harder but the finds are there for the persistent 👍🏻🐾🧡

These are my favorite episodes where you go down to the shore on your own! It's almost like I get to go with you! I am glad when you get to go with your fellow larkers, but these are my favs cause they are less distracting! Great finds today!

That D wheel hub is a D for Daimler. Could be from a 1970s bus or lorry wheel centre... Alternatively, Daimler were a coach builder for car bodies too! Ah.. Just saw the end where you say that 😂

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Or even a WW2 London Transport utility bus.

Happy birthday Si 🎈🎂🎁

[@ChaoticCreative259]

That badge is an extremely interesting find for me. I’m Afrikaans, so my ancestors would have actually been fighting against the person who was wearing that badge 😅 but it’s still amazing to see an object from that period. All I’ve ever had were stories of my family, some of them very tragic unfortunately, but seeing objects from that time really connect me to those stories. Keep up the awesome work, Si!

[@monkigrl11]

[@goodpeople5676]

Awesome findings really enjoyed, superb upcycle, we used this type of knife 🔪 to eat raw mango 🥭 😋 in childhood. Today did the under privilege kids run , organized by Good People. Got a very good response from all India 🇮🇳 with a good donation to support the kids. Eve of Independence Day Enjoy With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥ 🙏 🤝

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Sam! Keep on running 🏃🏿‍♂️

[@FindsByPirjo]

When you found that S-African badge I thought first that now you found the twin to Tobias's find. The Daimler cap is a wonderful find. I bought my trowel from Graham in May and used it at the first time during my visit in May. I love it and it will follow me on 17th September again to the Thames foreshore in London. Have a great week Simon!

[@Sifinds]

That’s awesome that you’ve got a Gander trowel! They are a thing of beauty, I’m sure they bring luck!

[@Mudhooks]

When I was in college, the shop teacher used to tell us about, usually gory, accidents in the shop as lessons to be careful. He said that he was once showing a class how to use the table saw and his upper denture dropped out of his mouth, hit the blade with a loud “Ping” and smashed, sending bits of it everywhere, including into the crowd of horrified students. My favourite of his stories. When he announced a surprise bonus question on the final exam, we joked that it was “Name 5 ways you can injure yourself in the shop while using a pencil”.

[@Sifinds]

Hahaha! Bet that was hilarious! I keep some of the ‘cock-ups’ in because I like to encourage people to be prepared to fail, and keep trying. I never did find that bit of brass 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@Mudhooks]

@@Sifinds And you still managed to make a useful little knife with the aluminium blade!

[@bonnerdebbie]

So nice to see you on the foreshore, my spying skills were lousy today, I am glad yours were better. Awesome cap badge! Knives came out great. New trowel is awesome.

The parasol slide would be so pretty cleaned up with a Thames bead or garnet in the middle. Nice pendant.

[@Sifinds]

Nice idea!!

[@claudiosaltara7003]

After watching you show for several days I just realized the joynyou get by doing it. As a little kid 5 or six I was visiting all the pot makers in the village, I liked t pick up all the shards that had defects and were discarded. Some were good and usable other were almost finished but broke in the handling. The colors and the images (Renaissance stile were beautiful I cherished one in particola and kept it for years) one factory was world famous) one return to Italy on vacation I make sure I visit the factory and relive my childhood. 4:42 4:44 4:47

Loved the cap badge and the history! I am not a motor head but I knew the Daimler cap from watching Alex Archbold's KZbin channel Curiosity Inc. He is restoring a Daimler that the Queen toured in Canada in!! Amazing how learning something on one channel can connect to another! Keep up the great videos! Watching from Minnesota, USA. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Sifinds]

Awesome!!!

[@TheLhester1965]

I watch his channel as well! Here in Pensacola, FL! I was so excited when he panned down the grille and I saw that Tudor Rose. I sure wish I could be mudlarking in England! But, it's a heck of a commute to see my grandson.

[@derekwright2388]

Not seen the whole video yet, but the cap badge could not have been worn in the battles suggested as it mentions 1899-1902 on the badge its self so I would expect it was made after the second boer War.

[@Sifinds]

Fair point, let’s say they the person who wore it saw one of those battles

[@pinkerbot]

Exactly 😁

Hi Si! Every time you find a piece of cutlery, you optimistically look for hallmarks in the hope that it's silver. I want to ask, have you ever actually found a silver spoon - or fork or knife?? Or are you still waiting for your very first one? Just love your videos, and recently became a patreon - please keep up the good work!

[@Sifinds]

Hi Di! Thank you so much for becoming a Patreon! It means the world to me and puts ‘gas in my tank’ to keep on larking longer and further. I have found a few silver spoons, but they are pretty rare.
