My great great grandfather was named John Jones. He came to America from your neck of the woods in 1830. It was was fun for a moment to imagine that was his anchor!!! But what are the odds?🤔
Yep, came here to say this. It also appears to be an engraved model. I'd like to go back and get some still pics from the video to determine the model. I don't think, off the top of my head that they have been putting the buck mark on the bottom of the trigger gaurd for too many years. So perhaps it's not very old. Again, I'm going to try to research a little more.
@@Sifinds you found a Browning SA 22. It has been in production for nearly 100 years now. It was and still is a desirable model that represents some of the highest quality produced by Browning. I can't determine the exact year of production for the one you found but it certainly isn't any older that 1978. The deer logo on the bottom was adopted by the company in 1977. It's an interesting model that has the ability to be quickly taken apart and packed away for a camping or backpacking trip. Sort of a survival type item. It's a small caliber suitable for squirrel or rabbit. While it is capable of taking larger game, it would require an extremely accurate placed shot to be effective. It's a very nice find. Hopefully law enforcement determined that it was no longer able to function and allowed you to keep it.
@@buckinthetree1233 is correct. The mark on the bottom of the trigger guard is clearly Browning. The loading port in the stock is typical of their .22LR models.
I love that you record everything with the museum. I imagine some wouldn't. The bracelet, an item of importance is now for all to see, rather than in a private collection. Awesome honesty.
Really liked the story about Nathan Posener. I went and had a look at his service record which can be viewed online. He served from 1916 until 1919 when he was discharged as no longer fit. Good to know you managed to return it to the family. I work with a group that does military research, and we always like finding family we can pass the stories on to.
Just a note to say that you are one helluva lucky fellow. I live in West Texas, and the closest that I would ever come to finding a piece of history would be an Indian arrowhead. And even then, it wouldn't really date all that far back. You live in a country with an unbelievable history, and finds like yours are almost done on a regular basis from shore to shore. Keep up the fantastic work that you do. Love watching your videos.
Exactly. They found an African burial ground dating back to the early 1700’s in NYC and everyone was freaking out here lol that’s the oldest we can imagine in my area I would love to visit the UK and visit all their historical sites
I live in Pensacola. I would love to go mudlarking, except here I would find black widows, brown recluse, maybe a moccasin or rattlesnake. Nope, not for me. Plus there's nothing good to find here. We have no history. And, if we did someone would want to tear it down.
@@TheLhester1965 I agree about someone wanting to tear down our histroy. Personally, those kind of folks are all brain dead and have no idea of what they are doing. It boils down to lack of education in our present system.
@@Nellsbells79 There may be more history here than we think. It just hasn't been found yet. The Aztecs were thought to have taken a lot of their treasures North from Mexico. Could be in your back yard.
I loved the little heartshaped jewel, the coins, the mammoth tooth - but the shoes blew me away. It's just such a personal item as was the find from Nathan Posener. Loved your presentation!
Second time I've watched this episode and it was just as wonderful as the first time! That Roman pot find will never get old! Every time I watch you, and I've watched some of same videos twice or more, it's like a lesson. You're so detail oriented, and for us lovers of anything old and historical, your videos are a treasure in themselves. I think one of the coolest historical "finds " I had was looking at graffiti in an old jail house in Barnstable, Cape Cod Massachusetts. Someone had carved the pirate ship "Wada" in the cell, with a very nice drawing of the ship. Oh! And I did live in a house that had a railway tunnel that opened up in the basement. The tunnel being for runaway salves to come to New Bedford, MA to get a new start in life.
Props to you for donating the historically significant finds to the museum. You've inspired me to seriously consider starting up this hobby. Thanks for documenting all your adventures.
It’s not really donating. It’s the law. You find anything of value and the queen automatically owns it. If “the crown” decides they don’t want it, they give it back to the treasure finder.
@@dt4676 it's the same as if you found an artifact in a national park. It belongs to the park and you can't remove it. It wouldn't be any history left if everybody could just take everything they found.
Not at all true. Many objects of history are given to the respected sources and end up lost destoryed devalued or sold anyways, that's if they even display them and not just catalogue them. The majority of items of significance discovered under these circumstances would be better off in the hands of people willing to pay for them that's how much interest and respect they have for these items. Not just that it's the crowns Hurr durr. F the crown@@MessOfThings
I got to be honest without people like you, i think i would go crazy. having to go back to watching tv is most definitely a no for me, keep the fantastic content coming 🙌🙌
Loved seeing all those ! Especially the story of N. Posener…. So cool for his family … and for you. You and Nicola are my favs . Keeping having fun and adventures 👍🏻
We've been following your adventures for a few years now and we still can't figure out which is cooler, your amazing finds or your fantastic videos? For us fans it's win win either way. Thanks for letting us ride along with you.
I’ve watched you for ten so far. Today’s my 65th birthday so I hope to see at least 20 more years on who know what kind of media you present them to us! Cheers Simon. Thanks for this one…. My favorite was the horse shoe. Too cool for a horse enthusiast.
So chuffed! I had an inkling that the Roman pot, would be your proudest find!! 😉 Thanks for the run-through, good to re-see the top finds, even though some of the smallest have been lovely too...ie: pins, garnets, poison bottles, coins, ink pots, pipes etc.... hello from Denmark 🌸 🌱
Of all the finds through the years, your friendship with Webbie was your greatest treasure. He must have taught you so much, sharing his knowledge and spectacular finds with you. It’s your turn in the years to come to find a young mudlark to continue that legacy. But for now, we are thankful to be able to watch and learn from your videos as well!♥️
What a interesting and historic 10 years of luck you’ve dug up. I will enjoy reading all the museum links and can’t wait to see what the next 10 years has in store for your treasure hunting. You have really educated me on Thames river, and beyond, history.
WOW and WOW again! A decade of early mornings and late evenings, sweat and mud, but it was worth it. You've found some amazing pieces and contributed to the unearthing of London's history. I've been following you for a couple of years and will continue to look forward to your mud-ventures. To many, many more treasures! 😊
That tobacco tin is outstanding! I wonder if it was packed with leaves. I don't know when it started to be sold shredded. It would explain why it's a lozenge shape.
Loved all the top finds but I bags the mammoth tooth. The oldest treasure find yet! Thank you Simon for your shows I thoroughly enjoy them. Also, I think that you are a wonderful young man for finding a descendant of the pilot who lost his dog tag & may you have lots of luck in the muck.
Gosh I guess I have been watching you since you started posting on TH-cam which is only a couple of years but I am so glad I found you and Nicola. Yall have been my Sunday Staples that I have to watch first and get the greatest joy from. Your gentle and kind treatment of historic treasures and educating us that are not given an opportunity to know the thrill of Victorian or Roman finds. I thank you so much Si and I pray you stay safe and keep on adventuring.
All your finds are amazing! The really old ones are fascinating. I have maybe less unusual favorites than most. The Dutch tavern tin because I have an odd love of anything Dutch. My most very favorite is the cottage inkwell. It goes so well with my collection of over 50 cottage teapots and other cottage pieces. It is so beautiful and tugs at my heart. Thank you for sharing, I get so excited when you are pulling a true treasure out of the mud. May you always have so much Luck in the Muck!
Congratulations on 10 years of fantastic finds! I don’t know how, but I came across your channel in the last year or so and I enjoy it more than anything on tv! I’ve learned so much about historical artifacts and England. I hope you keep doing what you’re doing for many years to come!
Some very stunning finds. I do envy you digging up history. In New Zealand there is only 150 years worth. I have detected copper sheathing from the bottom of sailing ships.
When you committed on the "Chandler," coin..you had my attention. My maiden name is Chandler and my grandfather was from England. I enjoy making candles..lol
It's been such an interesting 10 years. Thank you for all that you have shown us, shared with us and enlightened us with. Wishing you many more years to come!
Magnificent finds. I do love the gold engraved heart pendant. The metal tobacco tin is also a great find. I have truly enjoyed watching your videos and meeting all your guests. Look forward to many more years of being entertained and taught all about European history. 🐕🌻❤️🇺🇸
Si, like the top 10 theme, need I say very creative in the world of mudlarkers. One reason why I'm a huge fan is because my son, went to the American College in Richmond in 2004/5 . I saw somthing about mudlarker, and asked him to find me a pipe, not knowing that he needed to be licensed. We love beachcombing and such and thought mudlarking would be the ultimate experience. Looks like I'm right. 20 more years sounds great to me. You'll be about 60, I'll be pushing 8o something I think.
What a great recap of your adventures over the past 10 years. I have been watching for about a year and really enjoy your trips out and about. Let's hope 2022 is even more exciting.
Really enjoyed this video. You have found some amazing things in the last 10 years. This shows your definite love for the artifacts left by those who traveled the Thames before you. Your presentation of your videos are top notch and keep the viewers interested to the end. I look forward to your new posts each week. Have a great week and please keep safe. ❤️🇨🇦
I think the gun is a browning as they use the stag head logo, you could try asking at a gun shop like William Evans Ltd 67A St James's St, St. James's London for a more professional id.
@@Sifinds The Browning buck is so iconic it was the first image used by a man for a tramp stamp tattoo. That man was from West Virginia and his name is John Doe.
I love your videos. When I first started watching you I thought you were saying “ To all my lovers”, not “mud lovers “. I am so fascinated with all of the history you discover. I cannot imagine holding an object in my hand that is hundreds of years old. Keep making my day!
I researched Dr. Castoor’s KADI. I found very little. The surname Castoor seems to originate in the Netherlands. The word KADI was just confusion. It seems to be an Islamic word. I never found an exact meaning. Sorry!
Congratulations on 10 years of mudlarking. Thank you for a great video of all your treasures 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽 I was touched by the Poesner dog tag story and how you got it back to his family...good on ya’ Si 👍🏼👍🏼
Had a great time watching all your finds, specially the ones prior to 2017, that's when I started watching. I've learned so much and had so much fun sharing your adventures with you. I've seen and learned so much, thank you Simon, on to the next one. 👍😊
I used to live in Canning Town in the 60s-70s. What a great hobby this would have been if I had only known it. Thanks for giving me a virtual look at the river I lived next to.
LOVE this video. This is amazing Si, such a treasured insight into your world. Well done for ten years of hard work and ten years of incredible finds! History found (and recorded) and treasured. Here's to ten more years! :)
That was very wonderful and exciting. 😊 I should start focussing on iron signals more, now that I’ve hunted as much as I can in my 1800s village. I also experienced digging up a shoe, a young woman’s leather with brass nails in the deep mud of a stream but it’s not as exciting as Roman. Looking forward to more great surprises, and fun with friends.
2:20 the deer logo is 'Browning', thought it may have been a shotgun at first til I saw the rest, that would be a really nice pellet gun if that's what it is. Being Browning at all.
So cool this round up of best finds over the years. You have found some amazing items and I have seen each video around the finds. You have also made some amazing friends while mudlarking and saving history. Keep up the awesome job and I will continue to follow you!
What a great idea to make this video, I didn’t know that you and Steve bought the hovercraft together. Such interesting and beautiful finds Si. I would be interested to know when and how you met your various mud larking mates apart from on the foreshore of course xx
The intaglio finds are a couple of your most amazing in my opinion! always lots of interesting finds and artefacts from times past to see on your channel, best of luck for many more!
A lot of great finds over the ten years Si. It must have been hard picking the best find of the year for some of the years, where as some years had clear and easy winners
On Christmas day 1978 I was thirteen years old and got one of these Browning 22 LR semi-automatic rifles under the Christmas tree. It holds eleven 22 caliber long rifle shells that load into that hole that’s visible on the right side of the stock. There is a rod in the butt that unscrews and pulls out of the stock to load it. I still have the gun, though I have not shot it in years. This is a wonderful gun to shoot and is really easy to disassemble and clean. It tickled me to death to see this pop up on your video as it was a gift from my father who died in 2015.
Thank you Si for giving us a beautiful journey. I'm at your 1st year stage and absolutely love it. Keep doing what you.do and keep finding that luck in the muck.
Happy 10 Year Mudlarking Anniversary mate! 🎉🍾🍻👍😃 Some amazing finds there and such a great mix as well. I don't know what to choose as my fav bro, I love em all...Ok the Mammoth Tooth...no the Gun, wait the Gold Locket or the Roman Shoes???😂😂🤙
Ah, Simon, I'm a big fan and I love your work! You had some great finds over the years. Please excuse me while I give you a hint to remember- ANCESTORS are those who made you, (aka forebearers) DESCENDANTS are those born from Ancestors. It's a common mixup people do, no worries. You were looking for Mr. Posener's Descendants. :-). It was so very kind and polite of you to return it to the descendants. Kudos to you for being such a nice guy, as always!
Brilliant and informative finds! Thank you for sharing these incredibly important historical treasures with us. Wishing you many more years of fantastic discoveries.
I love Everything (except the guns). I cannot believe you found that beautiful complete Roman pot! Just sitting there in the mud, thank goodness you spotted it. I am also gobsmacked that Steve found a pair of Roman Shoes! How on earth could they have been there for almost 2,000 years just There? Together. Unbelievable and amazing finds. ☮❤🦘🇦🇺
Simon -- that mammoth tooth should be a lot older than 3,000 years -- in doing some research, it looks like the mammoth went extinct in Britain about 10,000 years ago -- so you definitely would have a hard time topping the age of that find!
Your best ever find wasn’t featured. Your best ever being lovely old Nelson 🐈⬛ 💚 I love the token belonging to Nathan Posner. The style reminded me of some of the tokens in the Foundling museum in London. Have you visited it?
Si, thanks for sharing your top ten finds of the the last ten years! Keep up the mudlarking Si and please be careful....I see you can encounter some danger out there such as finding things like grenades. I truly enjoy your adventure videos!
Wow! Just, wow! Thank you for making & posting this best of video. 👍 It is nice to see what brought you into mud larking and kept you iinterested in it. Here’s to many more years of getting lucky in the muck! ❤️
Thanks Si-finds! You have inspired my niece, nephew and I to go find some fun in the mud along the creeks near us in Colorado. Top find of the day - pottery piece with a peacock on it.
Sensational job! Many important finds that otherwise likely would have been lost forever. Plus, I envy you your knowledge of these things that range over so wide an expanse of time!
What a great video. I would love to see a video of your 10 year collection. You had some truly amazing finds over the years and I will be waiting to see what you find in the next 10 years. Cheers Si!
Great round up of your 10 years of Luck in the Muck! I still have to say that the Roman pot is my favorite of all your finds. Got a shiver down my spine as I watched you pull it out of the mud. Looking forward to sharing more of your adventures, mate!
Thanks for watching Mudlovers, to see my MEGA find of 2023 tap this th-cam.com/video/Htdjhb1quPo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uHPWu6_8AsfD85yb 😊👍🏻👣🧡
The heart locket is DIVINE! Amazing finds Si, especially the intact Roman pot ❤🇦🇺
Congrats on your 10 years of mudlarking Si xxx...
What happened with the shoes? Bet the Romans were relieved when shoelaces were invented so they no longer had to nail them to their feet😲🍻
My great great grandfather was named John Jones. He came to America from your neck of the woods in 1830. It was was fun for a moment to imagine that was his anchor!!! But what are the odds?🤔
Did you record the London Bridge lark Si? I love your videos! Thank you 😊
That's the BROWNING BUCK label engraved on it, I recognize that, big in US!
Nice one thanks!
I was going to say, definitely an American maker. Recognized it right away
Yep, came here to say this. It also appears to be an engraved model. I'd like to go back and get some still pics from the video to determine the model.

Perhaps he threw his dog tag in the Thames on his return home, annoyed that he had been discharged.
You have a hobby that gives a huge amount of joy. Not many people can say that. Thanks for sharing.

It's been such an interesting 10 years. Thank you for all that you have shown us, shared with us and enlightened us with. Wishing you many more years to come!
History to society is what memory is to the individual. Its the wee details of a moment in time we will never fully know. Great stuff Simon
Thanks Si! Your mud adventures are always exciting and fun. I am glad you take us along. Please be careful and take care! ❤
The marking of the deer on the gun is the trademark for Browning, possibly a Browning shotgun looking at the engraving on the side.
Magnificent finds. I do love the gold engraved heart pendant. The metal tobacco tin is also a great find. I have truly enjoyed watching your videos and meeting all your guests. Look forward to many more years of being entertained and taught all about European history. 🐕🌻❤️🇺🇸

Amazing finds! Looking forward to watching the next 10 years!
Thanks Angela! 👍🏻🐾🧡
This video was interesting as hell 😂 I didn’t want it to stop
So many special finds, one could say that you are truly blessed Simon. Hope you make many more awesome discoveries, I'll be watching.

Loved the Top 10! Love the weekly history lessons and your positive outlook! Have a great week!
Just watched again. I hope to watch you find history for all my days!!
Had a great time watching all your finds, specially the ones prior to 2017, that's when I started watching. I've learned so much and had so much fun sharing your adventures with you. I've seen and learned so much, thank you Simon, on to the next one. 👍😊
WOW! The inkwell kinda took my breath away. All the glass you showed was amazing!
I can’t believe I’ve just discovered mudlarking a few months ago! I really want to go out there now and join in
Nice one Sean, it’s much harder than it looks 👍🏻🐾🧡
I used to live in Canning Town in the 60s-70s. What a great hobby this would have been if I had only known it. Thanks for giving me a virtual look at the river I lived next to.
Fabulous! I've thoroughly enjoyed these finds and going on your adventures with you 💜💜
Thanks so much 👍🏻🐾🧡
Your video was the first mudlarking video I saw after that I saw Nicole’s you are so inspirational.
LOVE this video. This is amazing Si, such a treasured insight into your world. Well done for ten years of hard work and ten years of incredible finds! History found (and recorded) and treasured. Here's to ten more years! :)
Ten incredible years. That Roman pot and Steve's complete pair of Roman shoes were mindblowing.
I think those shoes being found side by side like that after a thousand year is the coolest thing to ever happen on this channel
That was very wonderful and exciting. 😊 I should start focussing on iron signals more, now that I’ve hunted as much as I can in my 1800s village. I also experienced digging up a shoe, a young woman’s leather with brass nails in the deep mud of a stream but it’s not as exciting as Roman. Looking forward to more great surprises, and fun with friends.
Cheers Robin 👍🏻🐾🧡
2:20 the deer logo is 'Browning', thought it may have been a shotgun at first til I saw the rest, that would be a really nice pellet gun if that's what it is. Being Browning at all.
So cool this round up of best finds over the years. You have found some amazing items and I have seen each video around the finds. You have also made some amazing friends while mudlarking and saving history. Keep up the awesome job and I will continue to follow you!
I cannot believe Roman items are still popping up. Amazing.
Thank you for the guided 10 year tour. Absolutely amazing. All the best in the future. Cheers Simon. 🏴😊👍🇺🇸
Lovely finds there Si! That Roman pot- what a find! Nicola must be soooo jealous! LOL
What a great idea to make this video, I didn’t know that you and Steve bought the hovercraft together. Such interesting and beautiful finds Si. I would be interested to know when and how you met your various mud larking mates apart from on the foreshore of course xx
That intact roman pot at the end 😮👌👌perfect!. Ive yet to find an unbroken pot.
The intaglio finds are a couple of your most amazing in my opinion! always lots of interesting finds and artefacts from times past to see on your channel, best of luck for many more!
Sorry Late just stopped by say hi give you thumbs up every time great finds my friend have great week 💟💟👍👍👍
A lot of great finds over the ten years Si. It must have been hard picking the best find of the year for some of the years, where as some years had clear and easy winners
On Christmas day 1978 I was thirteen years old and got one of these Browning 22 LR semi-automatic rifles under the Christmas tree. It holds eleven 22 caliber long rifle shells that load into that hole that’s visible on the right side of the stock. There is a rod in the butt that unscrews and pulls out of the stock to load it. I still have the gun, though I have not shot it in years. This is a wonderful gun to shoot and is really easy to disassemble and clean. It tickled me to death to see this pop up on your video as it was a gift from my father who died in 2015.
Great history and amazing finds over the years Si. The museum is lucky to have your finds in it! 😊❤
Thank you Si for giving us a beautiful journey.
I'm at your 1st year stage and absolutely love it.
Keep doing what you.do and keep finding that luck in the muck.
Dog tag and Roman pot for me. Cracking finds Si.
Cheers Rich!
I love your enduring positivity, thanks for sharing your hobby.
Can’t wait for the next adventure and cheers 🍻 not to ten, let’s double it and make it 20! Such amazing things you’ve found over the years!
Thanks and congratulations on ten years, Si! I've very much enjoyed your posted videos, and I look forward to another ten years!
Happy 10 Year Mudlarking Anniversary mate! 🎉🍾🍻👍😃 Some amazing finds there and such a great mix as well. I don't know what to choose as my fav bro, I love em all...Ok the Mammoth Tooth...no the Gun, wait the Gold Locket or the Roman Shoes???😂😂🤙
Cheers Leigh! Try wearing all that stuff at the same time 😂
@@Sifinds pretty stylish mate but don’t get arrested carting around that gun in London and be careful detecting while wearing horse shoes 😂😂
@@BondiTreasureHunter I only wear high heels 👠 whilst detecting, thanks for the tip by the way 😉
Ah, Simon, I'm a big fan and I love your work! You had some great finds over the years. Please excuse me while I give you a hint to remember- ANCESTORS are those who made you, (aka forebearers) DESCENDANTS are those born from Ancestors. It's a common mixup people do, no worries. You were looking for Mr. Posener's Descendants. :-). It was so very kind and polite of you to return it to the descendants. Kudos to you for being such a nice guy, as always!
Very cool finds over the years, Simon! Here’s to many more which surpass your dreams.👏🤩
I love the way you made this video. Awesome job. Cheers from Missouri USA
Brilliant and informative finds! Thank you for sharing these incredibly important historical treasures with us. Wishing you many more years of fantastic discoveries.
I love Everything (except the guns).
I cannot believe you found that beautiful complete Roman pot! Just sitting there in the mud, thank goodness you spotted it. I am also gobsmacked that Steve found a pair of Roman Shoes! How on earth could they have been there for almost 2,000 years just There? Together.
Unbelievable and amazing finds.
☮❤🦘🇦🇺
Simon -- that mammoth tooth should be a lot older than 3,000 years -- in doing some research, it looks like the mammoth went extinct in Britain about 10,000 years ago -- so you definitely would have a hard time topping the age of that find!
Yes maybe I meant 30,000
@@Sifinds :-) Either way -- it's mighty old!!!!! Cheers Simon!
I was waiting for that Roman pot. Great video ~ fantastic finds. Happy 10th Mud~Versary!
Your best ever find wasn’t featured. Your best ever being lovely old Nelson 🐈⬛ 💚
I love the token belonging to Nathan Posner. The style reminded me of some of the tokens in the Foundling museum in London. Have you visited it?
Good finds and good for you to share these formally hidden historic treasures.
Your channel has found it's way into my top 3. To another 10 mate, love your work.
Si, thanks for sharing your top ten finds of the the last ten years! Keep up the mudlarking Si and please be careful....I see you can encounter some danger out there such as finding things like grenades. I truly enjoy your adventure videos!
Wow! Just, wow! Thank you for making & posting this best of video. 👍 It is nice to see what brought you into mud larking and kept you iinterested in it. Here’s to many more years of getting lucky in the muck! ❤️
Congrats si you've had some amazing finds, looking forward to the next 10 years+ xx
Thanks Si-finds! You have inspired my niece, nephew and I to go find some fun in the mud along the creeks near us in Colorado. Top find of the day - pottery piece with a peacock on it.
Inspirational stuff.
Well done for doing what you love, and for sharing your passion.
Cheers, steve
Sensational job! Many important finds that otherwise likely would have been lost forever. Plus, I envy you your knowledge of these things that range over so wide an expanse of time!
I loved the Pub table and the locket was a fantastic fine too!!
Really enjoyed the memory lane of finds! Keep going Si. Always anticipating the uploads!
What a great video. I would love to see a video of your 10 year collection. You had some truly amazing finds over the years and I will be waiting to see what you find in the next 10 years. Cheers Si!
Incredible finds and to see your excitement is so great!!😁😁
Great round up of your 10 years of Luck in the Muck! I still have to say that the Roman pot is my favorite of all your finds. Got a shiver down my spine as I watched you pull it out of the mud.
Looking forward to sharing more of your adventures, mate!
