Simon, every time I see you, I gain more respect in you. Such a good, positive soul
Aw thanks dude!
Just an additional comment. I admire that you younger guys treat the older man with respect. He is about 20 years my elder and as I have mentioned before I cannot go out like that any longer due to chronic pain issues daily. Hell once in a while a so-called friend will stop here and take me to grocery shop, less than a mile from my home and charge me $20! If I had people like you and your mates here life would be a lot better, however, you take time to let your viewers feel like they are a part of your adventures. For someone in my position that is very appreciated. God Bless and thank you for your excellent videos!
Dennis Morrison Ah Thanks Dennis, best wishes to you too! I adore Webby, I could listen to his stories all evening, his knowledge knows no bounds and is a thoroughly decent bloke. He can’t get out much either these days, but he loves cleaning finds. So we will go round there and off load some stuff for him to clean and have a chat etc. Hopefully you will meet someone that will show you some kindness soon. Respect. Si
@@Sifinds I loved meeting Webby too - seems like a real legend... Reminds me of some 'Great Train Robbery' type guy. I bet he has some stories to tell!
Good to see you're actually good friends and not just treating him like a charity case. You should maybe make a few video's of some of his stories and document them - I'd watch for sure :)
What he charges you 20 quid, the cheeky bastard. Pissed me off hearing this, shit start to my day 7am now in england. We have fuckers like that also my friend.
Dennis , how on earth a person can be so mean is beyond me . So very sorry to hear it .
Dennis, I absolutely relate to your comment. I am disabled. I absolutely LOVE history and I live vicariously through Si and his friend's mudlarking adventures. It truly hurts my heart thinking how people who are disabled are treated. It's like we are the forgotten, invisible demographic. In today's society, if you have nothing to offer people, they could care less about you. When I have to go to the pharmacy or grocery store, I have to pay 20.00 also, and even though I pay them so much, they happily take my money and still act like they are doing me a favor. While I don't expect people to cater to my every need, and while I agree that giving someone gas money is appropriate, many times people want that amount of money even though they are going to the store themselves. Anyway, just know you are not alone. In fact, your comment helped me a lot because I felt alone in how I was being treated.
God bless!
What surprised me in this video is the sheer amount of different centuries in this field!! Iron age, Celtic, Medieval, Edward 1st, Roman, Charles 2nd, and others. To think that they all passed through that field at some point is amazing!!
Imagine the last time those coins were in someone's hand. It's amazing.
I'd enjoy an episode just talking to John about things he's found over the years and how he went about it...
TheSecretsquirrel222 great idea!
Incredible that Celtic coin has been sat in that field for that long!
I love the beauty & historical significance of all the finds, but I can't help wishing you'd give us an 'Antiques Road Show' valuation!
Can you do a video on what you’ll do with the finds after? Your processes of cleaning, storing, possible selling, or what’s the journey of these finds behind the scenes. I enjoy watching from the USA 🇺🇸😁❤️
Can you believe you are holding something that is 2000 years old? What a diverse group of finds, I think your mates definitely owe you more than one beer. ;-) Thank you for another interesting and entertaining video. I appreciate that you include descriptions/dates of the items. :-)
that field needs to be detected in grids. What a great day!!!
I would love to go back and see how each object was lost, by who, and what the countryside looked like at all these different times in history. Fascinating!
Laura Me too!!!
Me too! What a cool idea!
That's a great idea for a series.
John is pure grey gold and a pioneer in many aspects. Too bad many doesn't appreciate old people anymore since they were the humble heroes.
Great day!!! I’m sure your buddies finds were a bit bittersweet for you but you were happy for them. That’s a true friend!
You gentlemen smashed it today. I don’t believe I have seen that many coins discovered the same day, same location that old in many, many hundreds of videos I have viewed, if ever. Relics that age and condition off the hook. Great video. I’ll have to view it a second time. 😎🤙
Cheers Jay! Still buzzing!
It amazes me how much history lies in England’s soil. I thoroughly enjoyed your video.
Love seeing John again. We are the same age so I'm in awe of his mobility!! Enjoy your channel very much. Tnx
Big-hearted of you to share your permission... A good character trait to have in this hobby, I think. Nice finds. Thanks, as always, for sharing.
How great to be able to go out detecting with someone like John. Having that much experience on hand must be a real bonus. Don't use a toothbrush on your valuable coins though - even the slightest abrasion could damage them.
Hi webby, keep these young lads unders control....🙂
What an AMAZING day! The diversity of things found was crazy...thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us! I have so much respect for you for taking your elderly friend with you. I love older people..they are the greatest teachers. Look forward to your next video. Love it when you say "Hello mudlovers"! Puts a smile on my face every time!
Janine Beckner Thanks Janine. I adore Webby, he is kind and is a font of knowledge. He’s taught me a lot. God bless him!
What an amazing set of finds! I can't even imagine finding a 2000 year old coin. I love experiencing it vicariously through you and your friends. Thanks so much for sharing your videos. Did Webby have some good finds?
Shanna Henk Thanks Shanna, I think Webby had a few Roman ‘grots’. Grots are indecipherable coins and that nice Georgian. We took him home first because he was shattered
Bloody awesome! Great finds there. Top marks to the old fella still larking at 80! Fantastic stuff!
Amazing day for you guys! Thanks for taking us along💕
Congratumalations on the celtic gold, that's incredible!!!
Amazing 80 BC wow!!
That farmer is sitting on a hoard..he needs to forget the crops and dig up that ground..lol
WOW, the more I watch this video the lower to the floor my jaw falls. What an amazing day! *clinks glass with the team*
Shelly Rourke Cheers!!!
I just realized, after watching this episode over and over, that when Tony shows us the gap, he looks like Quint in Jaws!! It made me chuckle...arrrgggg matey. Great episode!!
I love hearing from the oldheads who were the first to swing metal detectors looking for treasures. There aren't a lot of them around anymore. Some of those early guys found great hordes of treasure. Like the guy in my state California who found a giant gold nugget in the Mojave desert.
Wow, you would have to drag me out of that field, AMAZING
You ain't kidding "EPIC"! So nice of you to invite Webb. All around GREAT finds and we have 2" of SNOW on the ground! GL & HH over there!
Ohio Dirt Fisher Thanks Dude. Webby is a legend! Stay warm!
Love the we old dude brilliant life history to hear,,, and slow down u walking for the old boy he's extremely breathless
"John used to jump off Hammersmith Bridge.." I just dropped my gin!!!!
I sputtered tea back into me mug, very sexy!
John Webb is the famous fellow mentioned earlier in Si's live-chat... Have you ever gone into the centre of the Thames to have a different look. I think Si said no he hadn't, but he knew a man who did
Original mad lad.
I wanted to hear more from John about jumping off Hammersmith Bridge, maybe next time! And too bad he couldn't make it to the pub for a pint later with you guys.
Great video as always Si. Would love to see A round up of Webby’s best finds, and listen to his metal detecting stories.
Congratulations on the amazing gold find, but I can't help thinking "Stop rubbing the dirt off, you're scratching it!" Carry a small spray bottle with you to spray the bulk of the dirt off.
When I see these videos it makes me think about the Billions of Dollars/pounds/Euros in valuable treasure still buried in the earth around the world. Amazing!
GB, just dig and you find historic artifacts. Amazing.
Wow fantastic finds well done! I really enjoyed that👍🤗thanks again from Scotland 🙏😁
RIP Webby. Love seeing him action.
Hey Si, thanks for the good luck message to my boy on his cycling proficiency test - it worked, he passed! x
Shelly Rourke Superb! Congratulations! I’ll take the credit for him passing 😉😂
@@Sifinds Who do I send the cheque to? lol
No doubt good old John brought good luck and vibes with his experience to you guys. Loved the video, what a good selection of brilliant finds. Well done!
Unbelievable finds!!! I can only imagine what else is lying in wait to be dug up by you, Si! Fantastic permission, and very good of you to invite your mates to share the site.
Bless your hearts boys for given honor to that wonderful old gent ...
He's a legend!
I'm on my brothers site just to let you know that I am a woman and find your whole deal ya got going on is such a breath of fresh air! Keep on wallowing in that mud , Love it ! Mad for mud...
Cheers to you from CALIFORNIA VALLEY, CA USA
What a great mate you are to share your permission with your friends. And such great finds for all!! And anytime gold is found, it is a special day. And silver is still such a fun find. So happy for all your friends.
Thanks Mary!
You guys are an epic team, good luck out there, 😊👍🌷
What a crazy amazing hunt!! The finds were incredible! Would so love to hear some of Webby's stories and see some of his finds. Til next time, take care! xx ~Jen
All that history, literally at your feet! That field is worth re-visiting :)
I’m glad you said something about the tap and I wasn’t the only one thinking it 😅
I am still so shocked that there are still BC treasures to be found, gold or not!
Love these stories! And John reminds me of Timothy Dalton
Fantastic day! This was a fun video to watch! Would love one with John and some of his best finds from long ago! Sounds like he has a few great stories to tell.
Theresa Coonen Yeah that had occurred to me. He ain’t gonna be around forever. Be a nice thing to do
@@Sifinds maybe you could ask viewers what kinds of questions they'd like to ask John. I'd like to know what kinds of things he found on the foreshore in the 60's and 70''s? Were the laws different back then in regards to permits for mudlarking or metal detecting and reporting finds? Did he keep a lot of his finds or sell them? And, does he have a collections of his favorites and if so, would he care to show them to viewers?
Yes please! We would love to see some of his finds and listen to his stories!
Colossal Coins...WoW, thanks for the steady handed closeups.
I have to say that this video was much better that most episodes of Time Team & i think you probably found more in one day than they find in three days What a find that celtic gold coin was excellent stuff
28:42 Looked to me like SJ. on your tap. Congratulations on a great day!!
Great finds! Thanks for sharing the excitement with us. Regards from South Australia.
To call that an amazing day is an understatement, wow what epic finds. I would be more than happy with just one of those finds
Cheers Brett
These videos are so wonderful. What a fun group you all are! I need to hear more about the Hammersmith bridge story 😱🌉🤣!
Hey they found a hoard of Viking gold in a farmers field worth millions. Sold to a museum and they split the earnings. Good luck lads!
Amazing finds si. Keep the vids coming. Us across the pond can only dream of finds like that..
Magic finds on the field !! Gold and silver and a bell ABSOLUTELY fantastic. Thanks for sharing
Dave Whittington Cheers Dave. One to remember that’s for sure
Awesome video. What a day!
Some amazing finds! Wow!
The Celtic gold, the silver penny, the coral bell and finally the pin!
Beautiful bits and bobs 💙
Gotta go on land again, sometime!
Zandain Thanks. Certainly was an epic day!
Another great vid, Simon.
What a great group you were together and Webby is an absolute star. Can you do an ‘Evening with Webby’ interview with him in a pub answering questions and telling his stories. I’d pay to watch that.
I think i will!
Simon, that was truly wonderful & astonishing bit of detecting. the age and the very good shape of all the finds. Seriously, you must go back. There are all sorts there.
Good for you John still digging at your age. You're amazing. ☺
What great finds. Great friends, beer and video. What a life.
Admiration to you all! Great video as usual. Blokes breaking dirt I say...!
Damn, I'm envious that you guys can go out and do that in England. Here where I live in the US, other than the really cool American Indian pottery and arrow tips which it's illegal to pick up, the earliest objects you'll find are 19th century. I'd love to find iron age or Roman items.
You should bring a small spray bottle with you to use for silver coin so you don't scratch them with the dirt rubbing it
Jumped right over to watch the video!
Me too!!
Oh wow - totally enthralled. Congrats guys on the fantastic finds!
Tracey Bradshaw Thanks Tracey!
Love love love your videos! Your joy and enthusiasm is always shining through. I especially appreciate your including Mr. Webb. How awesome you are to appreciate and respect his knowledge and experience. It would be great if you did an interview video on him.
And finally I just have to say you are just as cute as you are a good guy.
Thank you sincerely for your wonderful videos.
Thanks Tracy, I’ve done a whole series with John, talking about his past finds, check out that playlist 😉
It must truly feel like an honor to be able to hold bits of history like these finds things made over 2000 years ago. I'm so jealous and envy your luck.
I've watched hundreds of metal detecting, magnet fishing and mudlarking videos and yours are BY FAR the best! Thank you.
mi1964amigo Thanks mate! Appreciate it! Si
Well done hunters especially Simon xx you must be chuffed to bits xx
Awesome finds guys!
Awesome finds Simon I love that gold coin enjoy the video I was just watching the Nicola and her beautiful friends out there digging in the mudlarking bless you and your friends on the Grapevine today all the way from Texas
Holy crap Si! How incredible. Love your videos.
Thanks Donna!
So great to meet John Webb! Gosh, what he's done in searching for treasure is epic!!
Amazing finds! Thanks so much for sharing. “Gappy’s” story was to funny, sad for his tooth though, and hope to see “Webby” again, I’m sure he has some interesting stories.
You guys are shivering and sound COLD.... Never hurts to have an extra coat in the car😘 I recently bought myself a good Detector and pin pointer‼️ Now waiting for the rain to let up... 🤣😂I live in S.W. Washington 🌧🌦
Always an adventure. Thank you for taking us along!
what a history he has in his head. loved the things he found
Wow, amazing finds! The next gold from that field has to be yours since you were so generous with your permission. Would love a video full of John Webb stories. Thank you for a great video.
Malinda Altman Yes I was thinking the same, I want to interview him, I will ask him about Mudlarking too
@@Sifinds Sounds like a great idea. Look forward to it, if he's amenable to the idea.
wow si what amazing finds every detectorists dream right there
Well bugger me backwards- what a fantastic video! Thank you! Are the bells usually decorated? Can't believe the Celtic coins 😀 absolutely blown sideways by that- awesome job lads!
Samantha Cotterill Haha. ‘Bugger me backwards’ - made me chuckle! The bells have some decoration but the ‘fish scale’ design is the best
Great to watch! Enjoyable hobby for all ages, fabulous finds too! Well done and so nice to see you involve a veteran of the art.
That tap is awesome, beautifully hand made, I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if it turned out to be roman!
Aw was great seeing cuffs finding that bit of gold well done pal . x
Great finds Great fun Thank you for sharing the day.
I would think Chill Bill would be beside himself with envy
The best the young and the older! What was discovered was pretty good too! Fun...Thanks for the trip...Bev from the Treasure Coast of Florida.
Wow what a day. To see those ancient coins come out of the soil was simply mind blowing.
How exciting!! What great finds!! Amazing!
WOW!!! Oh my goodness! That was the best! I'm having a conniption :)
Amazing that all that stuff has survived the plough for so long.
These coins are mind blowing!!!! just gorgeous !
Cheers Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
Hiya Si and lads, brilliant day out congrats to all on the finds , and a great round up at the end, thanks for the trip👍🇮🇪
Sid kelly Cheers Sid!
That was half hour of my life well spent.. Great footage.. Great to watch.. Exciting to watch.. Beautiful gold find well jealous.. Thumbs up to you all.. You make a good team.. 👍👍👍👍
Hope im still capable of getting out detecting in my 80s, some incredible finds, not much chance of finding such ancient relics or coins in Australia but it doesn't stop us searching, Cheers Si !
Wow, that gold sovereign is just amazing and probably worth a lot of money! I think its his Boston red sox hat, its a lucky hat!!?
Hi Guy's, great outing for you.
Amazing coins, silver and gold whit
The beautiful objects.
Thank for sharing.
Jimmy from 🇨🇵 😁
