I seem to remember someone on Time Team saying that holed pots were ones that had been used as offerings, either to assorted gods or in graves, and they were holed to keep people from taking them to use, or something along that line.
Your bottle brush is actually a sink drain clog cleaner. You put the brush part down a drain and it will grab hair clogs so you can un clog your drains.
I had a great time, it's not only a history video with this wild bunch, but a comedy act also. LOL Learn a little, and laugh a little, can't beat that. Thanks Si, and the team.
I usually wait until before bed to watch one of my favourite mudlarkers but this looked so interesting I couldn’t wait its 10:30 am in my part of Canada and I’m watching
Thanks Si and friends. Bury Steve's hair out on the low tide mud flats and when someone digs it up they will think it's from the viking invasions.😉 better tie it up and tie a date tag into it.😁 You restored that bottle beautifully!
I was watching Oak Island with my father and said they should hire you and your friends 😂 you find more in a day then they do in 8 seasons 🤣 another great video ❤️ you should do a Q&A ✌🏼🤙🏼👊🏼
What an epic day. The Roman pots always get me. Hard to believe you can pick up a piece that is over 800 years old!!! Although the man bun is gone, Steve still looks dashing either way 😊
Miss the hair, what a great mudlark, love the pipe. What a great bunch, keep having fun and keep enjoying your adventures, the bottle neck turned out very well. Thank goodness for youtube, as we are still in lockdown till June 2, awesome stuff. 🇨🇦🐘🍁🤗
@@Sifinds No, I mean we are still in lockdown because of covid and these videos you and Nic help keep us sane. I have recently been through a real struggle, I lost my youngest brother in January and my mom in April, so people like you, and others help a lot, makes us think of other things, so my heart isn't as heavy when you share. Keep up the excellent work Si.🇨🇦🐘🍁
Wow!! So much Roman pottery. Would love to find some myself. The Chatham bottle was lovely, looks like sea glass but complete. Get back to that boat lol! It’s your “Life boat” 😂👍 Happy Hunting
Oh my! This is a great video for the return of the Hovercraft History Hunters! Jules' finds through the centuries was fascinating, the Roman finds, the bottles! Thoroughly enjoyed this adventure Si! Thank you so much! Excellent hair cut Steve!
Steve, that hole was punched out with a ball peen hammer or equivalent. That is why the hole is bigger inside where it and chips of material are blown out like the backside of a bullet impact. The other evidence is the clear 120 degree angles and the hexagon shape. It was perfectly punched out probably to use it for a plant when it wasn’t designed with drainage in mind.
You will probably think I'm a heathen but the best find, for me, had to be the spongeware. So lovely, never seen that pattern before. Excellent job on restoring the Harrods bottle! 😀 x
In some cultures, the personal dishes, pots, and cups of a person would be "Struck" a hole or broken. In America, the indigenous people broke mortars, and pots then burned it in a pile. I'm guessing it's some form of that sort of death ritual.
@Irate Puffin 🔸️THANK YOU🔸️ for mentioning this! Not 20 seconds ago I was discussing this with my husband - retired from the camera business. (And the fact that the selfie stick throws a shadow). We go through this weekly because the invisible selfie stick obsesses me. My husband provides such helpful explanations as "I don't know. Maybe he edits it out." 🤡 "Must be the angle of the stick or something" 🤯 Yeah, thanks Mike. These explanations are very satisfying, and I won't discuss it any more. 😑
The bendy bottle brush thing looks like a brush used for commercial coffee pots used at cafes and restaurants. Here in the states a common company is Bunn that makes these coffee pots. The machines hold water . Each time you make a pot of coffee you add a measure of water and it runs through the machine. Every night your supposed to run the bendy brush thing up through the coffee machine to help keep it clear of hard water build up.
That pottery explained the roman site. Salt was military pay, and production would have been controlled. They could have a fort nearby somewhere and that site likely had a high status villa as salt was valuable.
Re : the bendy bottle brush Try your local landlord in your pub , I was a landlord at one time and I was gifted a load of these kind of brushes by the firm that supposedly looked after the cellar and gases , all sorts of sizes and uses that I never found out what they were intended for. They were the sort of thing that went untouched and unloved for years but like most things I wish I had taken them with me now
Interesting that you find Roman pottery with holes in the bottom. Here in the American southwest, a lot of ancient Native American pottery also have what are called 'kill holes' punctured in the bottoms. It is thought they did so for funerary use (placing over the head of the deceased) and that the hole allowed the soul to pass through.
@@Sifinds *Thanks Dude!* Simon you may or may not see this but *thanks for your comment!* Everyone needs encouragement now & then and it happens I needed it "now"🧡🙃
Love seeing the hovercrafts out.you did a great job on the harrods bottle good as new.i loved the gin bottle tho perhaps its becouse its my favourits tipple eh.
Got excited when you mentioned the curse of oak island I love that show and I can’t wait for them to find the treasure. I’ve been obsessed with stories of oak island since I was little.
Sunday, is the best day of the week! I learn things, see a bunch of history and spend time with you and your friends, Si - a perfect re-load for Mondays! - love from Denmark 🌸💕🌱
Si I received that lovely cut Cross bottle and really love it thanks buddy! I posted a nice picture of it on a light table on my Facebook page. Cheers!!
Very happy with the sound editing on this. The first hover craft video I saw I couldn’t understand most of the dialogue because of the overpowering sounds from the crafts running in the background. Love these now!
Lovely finds by all ......you guys rock the rivervwith your Hovercrafts .... Enjoy I really appreciate your camera works . And enjoyed watching the video . With Love from SAM Guwahati Assam INDIA
Don’t worry Steve “Fabio” ain’t got nothing on you. 😀. You guys are a bunch of cards. Fun to watch. Love all the mudlarking adventures Si and those of nic white. Keep the videos coming. Cheers.
We find many pieces of ceramics that have been broken and reused via putting holes for use as loom weights and other textile based uses etc. This is usually on relatively flat pieces, however, and not tucked away at the bottom, however there might have been more specific uses for such a design!
Might be a bit late with this one…your “bendy bottle brush” is actually used for removing hair clogs from sink and tub drains. The “Velcro-ish” hook end grabs the offending hair bundle and drags it out. Google Velcro drain cleaner. Cheers. ;)
What wonderful finds for everyone. Lovely fix on the Harrod's bottle. You know, I didn't quite understand how Steve's hair electrocuted him. Anyway, it will grow back if he wants it to. :)
Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this check out this classic HHH episode th-cam.com/video/8KFRdl41Dcg/w-d-xo.html
Oh Yes one of my Favorite ones! In fact I'm watching it now.
Me too.

I laugh when you walk along holding the selfie stick, it looks like you are walking an invisible dog 😂😂😂🐶
haha
A moment of silence for Steve’s glorious hair........
😂
I think Steve looks spunkier now.
Much better now 👌

At least I can concentrate on the videos now without the distraction of Steve and his glorious hair
Haha

That looks like SO much fun. Great friends. Steve has great hair, long or short. Thanks!
I was watching Oak Island with my father and said they should hire you and your friends 😂 you find more in a day then they do in 8 seasons 🤣 another great video ❤️ you should do a Q&A ✌🏼🤙🏼👊🏼
There has to be something there to find first.
@@droolingfangirl 😂 👍🏻
Thanks. That we do 👍🏻🐾🧡
You could teach Oak Island a thing or to!
What an epic day. The Roman pots always get me. Hard to believe you can pick up a piece that is over 800 years old!!!

More like 2000 years old! Crazy.
Absolutely love Mud Lover's Big Thumbs UP Always 😁😁
Thanks Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Ha! Thanx, Steve, some things you just can't UN-see!!!!!!!!! 👍🐅🐾💀🤩

@@marionbowler5440 I'll be thinking of you here in Canada ❤
@@clockwork9827 Thank you for your kindness 🇨🇦🐘🍁
I like Steve. Definitely a good dude .
This has got to be the best Boys Club ever.
It's not always The Boys.
That piece of shrapnel would make a cool manly braclet- with maybe a parachute cord braid to complete the other side...?
I was thinking the same but wondering how to attach it
Great idea!!!
Exactly what I was thinking! Perfect bracelet! As long as it’s not too sharp on the edges.
Wow!! So much Roman pottery. Would love to find some myself. The Chatham bottle was lovely, looks like sea glass but complete. Get back to that boat lol! It’s your “Life boat” 😂👍 Happy Hunting
Cheers Ad! Wishing you some luck in the muck! Where’s your cap 😉
@@Sifinds It’s in my bag to go on my next adventure lol. I wear it when I’m shopping sometimes and people stair at me like ‘is that Simon’ 😂😂
I love it when you go on the air boat ! Hope you find some treasure!
The hovercrafting videos are my favourites, the finds are always interesting and you have the advantages of a boat and all terrain transport.
Cheers Chris 👍🏻🐾🧡
Repair of the bottle...wonderful job!
Cheers pal! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Always fun to watch you hovercraft! Steve doesn’t seem himself! Hope all is well!🌸🌸🌸
