Simon and Nicola have the most comforting voices! I love relaxing after work and watching these videos and seeing the cool things they find, and learning the history of the items as well. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us Simon, and for the treasure that is your kind smile! Stay safe!
well you all did so well in finding the Cannon and the Cannon ball's as well as the bottles, sorry its been a few weeks but I'm 71 and have been away and ill but feeling better now, your Mudlarking also make's me smile a very BIG thank you for that good luck with the next one you all go on I look forward to seeing it, stay safe all.
An intact Medieval Fish Trap would be a nice find . I'm sure it would look great amongst your other treasures . Cool cannon balls , and another great video . Thanks for posting , Simon . Have a great rest of the week .
Out of curiosity Si, could you use AirBoats, or do they even have those in England? They use them in the swamps of louisiana , Florida and other places. Though i guess hoverboats are lighter. great finds.They drain and clean the San Antonio River from time to time here in Texas. Think they might have found a few musket balls or something, but most of it is junk, not like what you all find.
Just when I think your videos couldn't possibly get any better, you bring out this masterpiece! It must have taken you ages to edit all these clips! Thanks again for all your hard work Si, us mudlovers really appreciate it 😘💕
Say, when you guys were going out , and the camera was taking shots, saw another canon lying in the water, water didn't appear too deep.It was i think near some piece of wood. Will have to watch from the start to tell you where.
What a load of balls? Amazing! I was just thinking it's a good job you all go out mob-handed when the 'craft stalled & died - well done Steve & everyone - no fun getting stuck in the muck! Have a great fossick! 👍😊🦘⛏
You band of brothers Im guessing your wives are very patient with what you do...but what an awesome friendship you all have..thanks for sharing Si...xxxx
as always - great video! some really nice bottles :) I know I have said it before, but will say it again, it amazes me that things that are that old - you guessed the cannon balls to be about 200 years old, are just there along the shore line. It boggles my mind that they are just left there! You need to build yourself a bowl out of staves and put banding on it so it looks like a powder keg and put your cannon balls on display in it. The roman vase/pitcher thing you found on Nicola White’s video last week was gorgeous and that is what I mean, that something that dates back to the roman occupation is still there, just waiting for someone to come find it. I was thrilled for you :) to find a whole one must have been just beyond the moon! You need to build yourself a bowl out of staves and put banding on it so it looks like a powder keg and put your cannon balls on display in it. Thanks for a fantastic video! I love these 😊
It's always great when Si and Steve are out and about with the Hoovercraft, trudging around in the mud and finding interesting things. I really like this particular search in the Thames mud and can't wait for the next video to come out☘️💫
Awesome hover craft mudlarking video lots of laughs a bit of drama and treasure never dissapoint now all you have to do is buy a cannon and have some practice firing those cannon balls lol thanks again for another enjoyable virtual treasure hunt ☺
I get so much joy watching your shows! You and Nichola are an inspiration to my brother and I. This summer we have become treasure hunters, digging in landfills, magnet fishing & now metal detecting. Thank you for everything!!! 🙂
Yvonne Pagan Why hello! I live in the United States of America in Milwaukee Wisconsin, I’m considered the Midwest. I live close to Lake Michigan. This summer there was major construction going on where I work, and discovered bottles and other fun vintage things from the 1940s. For magnet fishing I go to various locations on the Milwaukee River. And so far I’ve done metal detecting on the beaches near my house. Thank you for contacting me!
Love the wooden Tizer stopper, I have one exactly the same, I've had it for 40 years and never seen another until now! Love the Recycled Teenagers song too. xx
I love how you all have each others backs! ...you really would not want to venture out there on your own ...very dangerous! I live in morecambe bay and the sands are incredibly dangerous! Many people get caught in sinking sands and the life guards are for ever being called out! ..great video si ...love your finds ...The canon balls resembled the planets in size the way you positioned them ! Fabulous and I love your bottles especially the iridescent one that's beautiful....😊
Getting stuck may look amusing but I guess Mud larking alone it wouldn't pay to get too adventurous, one could come to a sticky end. Love your adventures Si., the great finds and the fun friendship you all seem to share.
I just love the Hovercraft History Hunters. What a band of merry men, and one lady! The camaraderie between you always makes me smile 😊 You found some great bottles and love your collection of balls too 🤓 Thanks for sharing mudlover 👍
It’s just amazing the history. From what I see from the Roman Empire to todays artifacts. I live in Southern California we go back two hundred years or so. We do not have remains or rubbish, tossed trash. Isn’t that funny how I would wish for more old trash dumps in my area. I’m a mudlarker at heart. The problem is we have very little mud. Keep up your excellent work Simon. I love your show.
Once again Bringing history to life. So amazing! Could truly invision, almost hear the cannons being fired off during some battle. Thanks again for the adventure 😊
Great finds. Love the cannon balls and the grenades. It might be great fun to take one of the old bottles back to the chemists shop and ask for a refill. That could make a cool video, especially to see the reaction.
Hahaha! Steve's bum in your face. Nice finds, thanks for sharing. I've learned a lot from your adventures and hope to get across the pond one day and do some mud larking myself.
That half-pint bottle is just awesome, love it. Benn almost became an artifact, lol. Nice over the side pickup on those bottles. Fantastic cannon, bit of history left out , sad. Wow, lovely photo. The Hero and Baldwin bottles cleaned up spectacularly. Another great video.
Great trip, suspense, good company and thanks for taking us all along SI. BTW, amazingly it was a slog to get to 50K subs. and look at you 50 K is in the dust heading for 55....super...well deserved...
Vaux Stout bottle brought some memories back for me. Vaux Brewery was a Sunderland company set up in 1806 by a Cuthbert Vaux. I'm from Sunderland & remember the smell of the hops from the brewery back when I was younger in the 1970's through to their closure in 2000. They used to deliver their beers using a dray & horses to the pubs in Sunderland right up until they closed.
Awesome finds! So much stuff to find. Great work on getting that hovercraft running again. Don't want to leave that out there. Steve has the idea of having a cold brew after a long day.
Watching your video was a great way to end a hectic weekend. They are informative as well as humorous. Sitting with someone’s backside in your face is risking as there are different ways to experience a “gas” explosion. 🤪 Lol! Have a great week and keep safe.
Excellent video. Congratulations on all the awesome discoveries. Very entertaining and educational. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Nice one Si, I look forwards to watching this evening. Thanks for the great content! Stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago and have been hooked ever since. Have learned a lot and you’ve ignited a spark in me to get out there and see what I can find. I’m in Leeds so it may be tricky to find some spots but definitely going to be getting out there at some point soon. Take care!
Awesome!! Will listen to this that last thing I do today. Glad I found this TH-cam channel. The greatest find I've made. AMAZING content. Nice work sir.
I watch these videos every week, and I’m DYING to know.....do you all hose off before getting in your cars? When my sons were young and played football on muddy days, I had to cover the seats in blankets and towels before they sat down. I guess this is a “mom’s worried about mud all over her car” question. 🤣🤣🤣 (Another great video, by the way!!!!)
darlenevm hi Darlene, I had that worry too when my son was, say seven to eighteen years old after footy matches. Then he drove himself. But the washing machines sure got a workout each week. Yvonne, Melbourne, Oz
Never been this early before!🤓 On with the video!👌🏼 Poor Steve😆 I tried to syphon some petrol once and had petrol burps the rest of the day!😆 Love the colour of the green beer.
Great video...wonderful finds! It must have taken you a while to edit...great job! Appreciate all your hard work. Thank you! Take really good care...stay safe & well!

LOVE the look on your face Si sitting behind Steve while he was standing up on the hovercraft! HYSTERICAL 🤣
Lol cheers!
Si is looking at the south end of Steve while heading north. 😆😆
Out of curiosity Si, could you use AirBoats, or do they even have those in England? They use them in the swamps of louisiana , Florida and other places.

Loving your music, Si. Especially Ray Romijn's 'Recycled Teenagers'.

Great to hear!
heidikoester Hi Heidi. Where in the world do you live that you can do this too?. I’m from Melbourne Australia. We only have “modern” rubbish!

Such a lot of knowledge in this group of Essex lads heads 👍 fantastic places to be able to get to. Not jealous in the least 🤔
Wow your finds get more amazing the more you go out!!! Cannon balls and a cannon too!!! Loved the hero bottle!!

Thank goodness the Hovercraft History Hunters are good at repairs! Hooray for Benn and Steve!

Loved the fish trap, looks like so much fun , the hero bottle excellent. Till the next time, keep mudding. 🇨🇦🐘😘
Cheers Marion!
Great finds. Love the cannon balls and the grenades.
It might be great fun to take one of the old bottles back to the chemists shop and ask for a refill. That could make a cool video, especially to see the reaction.
What a great idea. The thought did cross my mind, I wonder what they would say if I presented it to them
Oh hell yeah, only good thing about doing night shift is I get to see these when they come out!
Love the hero bottle! You’re all heroes in my book!
Hahaha! Steve's bum in your face. Nice finds, thanks for sharing. I've learned a lot from your adventures and hope to get across the pond one day and do some mud larking myself.
Absolutely love this. Anxiously awaited your newest quest into history. Fabulous vid.
Fantastic military finds today! All those cannon balls and grenades and then, cant have cannon balls without a cannon! WOW!
Yes! Another adventure with Si!
Riding a hovercraft and stopping to pick up bottles - that 's truly amazing! Loved the Hamilton bottles :) Very cool mudlarking adventure
Thanks dude!
I love the old ink bottles. I'd line them up on a windowsill and fill them with daffodils in the spring 😊
Always an adventure when si and steve are going out i think you guys are the bomb have a beer for me steve cheers to good health
Great finds guys
That half-pint bottle is just awesome, love it. Benn almost became an artifact, lol. Nice over the side pickup on those bottles. Fantastic cannon, bit of history left out , sad. Wow, lovely photo. The Hero and Baldwin bottles cleaned up spectacularly. Another great video.
Thanks Coni!
You all rescued some great history! I look forward to your show every week!!!
I love these videos with Steve in.
Excellent finds!
Loved the neopsychedelic music!
Love the cannon for you guys great day stay blessed and see you again on the next episode stay safe 👍🍺🙏
Great trip, suspense, good company and thanks for taking us all along SI. BTW, amazingly it was a slog to get to 50K subs. and look at you 50 K is in the dust heading for 55....super...well deserved...
Thanks Bev!

Thanks Si and guys. A good day all around! Aside from the breakdown😉💙
This episode should've been called 'The Cannonball Run'...
Awesome finds! So much stuff to find. Great work on getting that hovercraft running again. Don't want to leave that out there. Steve has the idea of having a cold brew after a long day.
Watching your video was a great way to end a hectic weekend. They are informative as well as humorous. Sitting with someone’s backside in your face is risking as there are different ways to experience a “gas” explosion. 🤪 Lol! Have a great week and keep safe.
What an excellent team xxx loved the stress of the repairs....Nice finds too
Cheers Sue!
The scarcity of the HERO bottle was immortalized by The Stranglers: "no more heroes" they used to look for them, nice video Si.
Excellent video. Congratulations on all the awesome discoveries. Very entertaining and educational. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Cheers Jay!
Great finds and it was good to accompany you on your mudlark x
Woo Hoo! Si-finds and my morning coffee! 🙂 Wonderful way to start the day!
I totally agree!
Loved the music . Great video as always x
Thanks Jane!
Simon, your videos are my Sunday pleasure, thanks
Thanks!
Great finds guys.
The Eagle brewery was situated in East Hill Colchester and the building is still there today.
Cool!!
I once dated a man with one ball but never 5. well done Si.
These hovercrafts would drive me nutz. they seem very unreliable.
Awesome adventure!!! Amazing history .... thanks so much for the hard work you guys all put into it 🌀🙏
Thank you for another super upload Simon! You never disappoint 😊❤
Nice one Si, I look forwards to watching this evening. Thanks for the great content! Stumbled across your channel a couple of months ago and have been hooked ever since. Have learned a lot and you’ve ignited a spark in me to get out there and see what I can find. I’m in Leeds so it may be tricky to find some spots but definitely going to be getting out there at some point soon. Take care!

I love when you and Steve go out! Great finds and a great video! Off to the next Hovercraft History Hunters adventure?
Thanks!
Wow those cannon balls are awesome!!
Enjoyed your trip in the mud. A person would not want to be out alone in one of those crafts. They seem to have lots of problems.
I think Steve deserved the Hero bottle!
He saved the day for your fellow Hovercrafters !!!
🍻
Certainly did!
Ultimate Si finds competition..... Win a day out with Si and the hovercraft boys, that would be awesome!
Can I enter?
And me !
Great finds!!💕😺😺😺
Steve a good man to have in a pinch !
Epic content, nice finds, all them cannon balls wow 🤩.
A great trip some nice bottles I went hunting of Whitstable today very very windy some small finds .happy hunting.....
Never been this early before!🤓 On with the video!👌🏼
Poor Steve😆 I tried to syphon some petrol once and had petrol burps the rest of the day!😆 Love the colour of the green beer.
Nice vid as always so good to see old things rescued. That cannon was superb 😃👍👍 can't wait until the next vid. 😀👍👍👍👍
Cheers Jason!
What about a group of Larks on a boat ride on the Thames , try magnet fishing perhaps / just a new idea x
Benn starts slow again, but triumphs in the repairs department.
Interesting all the things they used to lob at enemy ships to slow them down
Great video...wonderful finds! It must have taken you a while to edit...great job! Appreciate all your hard work. Thank you! Take really good care...stay safe & well!
Love and savor your hover craft expedition.
I love the bias cut on the "HERO" bottle
Me too!
I Love these hovercraft videos, thank you.☮️🇨🇦I just ordered a couple of things from your Etsy account, I so excited Si. Thank you.
Ah thank you so much!
