Hi Si, The broken ornament of a man with a rectangular raised section is a match holder. The match box was pushed over the raised block and the man probably held spills to light the fire, cigarettes, candles etc.
I just watched today's video Northern Mudlarks posted, they found a pig broken off of one of these match strikers, they mentioned they came from carnivals.
I'd be camped out there all summer diggin' around, what a great spot!, Some of the best times of my life was bottle hunting with groups of friends, we had some old maps for logging camps so found the dumps, great pickings :) you are all so lucky! Cheers from BC Canada and a family of archeologists-at-heart :)
@@Sifinds Absolutely! Now I am old and gimpy but I truly love living such adventures through channels such as yours, the findings are the adventures, if its something special/valuable its icing on the cake :) Cheers from PNW Canada!
Thanks, Si, you have lifted my dark Sunday afternoon spirits . . . I am a magpie too! The tongs are definitely for putting pieces of coal or logs onto an open fire. I used to be a housekeeper in a large country house, one of my duties was to keep the brass and silver looking in ''tip top'' condition, we had a set of tongs very similar to those you found . . . erm . . but not the condition.
One of my permissions has an old pond, normally not visible, but because of all the rain its really obvious at the moment. This video has made me want to hire a digger and clear it out! 🚜 Although there’s also an old stone quarry at the top of the field and I’ve got my suspicions that they buried their rubbish there… only one way to find out I guess! As always, thanks for taking us along on another mudventure ❤️ Lots of love
What an awesome place, all that history hidden away for a hundred or so years. Going by the things you've already found, I can see you guys wanting to go back there to find even more , cheers Rob for inviting Si and Cuffs, it looks like you all had a great day. The garnet pots are amazing !!!!!
Brand new subscriber here from the States. Can't believe I just found your channel. I love everything history. Especially metal detecting, mud larking, dump digging and everything else! That is very cool what your friend is doing with the coins into rings. Also really like the "Victorian Garnet pots" Awesome idea.
@Sifinds It looked like there was a round pot/vase right in the centre of where you were looking in the pond and then asked if ears felt water logged! looking. I was saying yes there is something there!!!
Great to see the three of you together larking again. First time seeing Cuff in along time, and the other mate was a quality member also. Great finds by all today. See you on the next, Si! Cheers mates! 😊😊😊
I was kind of hoping that the pond might be older & deeper, revealing something truly ancient...would be exciting, right?! Some great finds though, Si 👍 hello from Denmark 🌸🌧🌬
Goes to show there’s enough stuff and materials still in the world that we don’t need to be polluting the planet with plastic to make a lot of new stuff.
Si! So happy you chose garnets to put in your beautifully designed pot! It’s the birthstone of January! My birthstone! Rob’s rings are awesome! What a great day with your friends!
I guessed 1. A nail 2. A roman coin 3. A garnet. I think I came pretty close! Lol That was fun! You should do the microscope thingy every so often just for laughs. I quite enjoyed it, Simon. Thank you for your wonderful videos! I love them! Say "Hi" to all your mudlarking friends from me in Ohio!
👍👌👏 Very nice finds while having quality time on a nice day with good companions. Congrats! The rings are really great and the old style decoration on the pot lid is looking simply fantastic! I came here from Dirty Secrets of Scotland. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.
Great video Simon! So many bits and pieces to check through. Wonderful to see friends enjoying the quest for hidden treasures. Have a great week and please keep safe. ❤🇨🇦
My dad made my mom’s wedding ring out of a silver quarter when he was in the World war 11. What great day you guys had, everyone dream bottle dig. I just remembered my Dad used a spoon to tap the quartet int the ring.
Just started watching you because I see you now bondi show. So thought I give it a shot and love it so I’m hooked. Thanks for a great show see ya soon again ✌️😱👍
The garnet pots turned out really cool! Great finds and fun! The rings are amazing. That's a lot of hours of work! Hopefully He can sell some. I have a few collected over the years, they are great works of art!
Fantastic dig, love the silver spoon and the inks. Love the upcycling with the garnets and pot/lid, make the old into the new, look forward to the next video
A wonderful Si Finds Adventure on this cold Sunday morning in Pennsylvania! Greenery, bottles, jars and spoons along with flowers! What could be better in the middle of january? Kind Thanks Simon and to your Mates as well! Many Blessings with Luck in the Muck! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Again Simon great day out there great adventure I love doing that kind of stuff it's nothing but fun and enjoyment find in history that's all I wanted to about stay blessed I'll see you down in the state warm🙏👍🌺🌴💐
The pots and your lovely designed labels turned out terrific! A nice day, and Cuffs got you to do the washing up, lol. Rob's rings are great. Thank you for taking us along.
I found a old rubbish pile up in the woods behind my house. I found beautiful glass from the early 30s. I found a metal six bottle Coca-Cola carrier. I never could find any info. My best find was a brass doorknob with a beautiful intricately flower pattern. Didn't know it was brass until I cleaned it up. Of course I used it in the house. Loved digging there just to see what other treasures were hiding. This was fun watching. I felt like I was back in the woods in East Tennessee again. I find it relaxing to dig in the dirt and uncover hidden treasures. Thanks for the memories.
Great idea with the advertisement on it! Turned out fab Si! Cuffs with a silver spoon! Great days guys. Hope he lets you and Cuffs go back again. Super finds. 🌟
Great watching the bottle dig, I used to do a lot of this when I was younger, used to get lots of marble stopper bottles, green and blue bottles....although I didn't see you find any bomb bottles
The green platey thing with the broken rotund figure is a smoking pipe-holder with the square block being a match pop-up where you shove a matchbox over to have the matches presentable.
This was the age of most of the dumps I used to dig with my bro. just looked down at my pen holder which is a Hartley marmalade , here we called these dumps "Nuisance Grounds " what fun, eh !! x
@@Sifinds all the small villages and old farm sites we could get to around the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada. We would laugh at the plethora of sauce and condiment jars, saying that the meat must have been very poor to need so much camouflaging ! x
@@Sifinds Yeah I think I found your soundcloud one time, did you ever release a full version? Every time I hear it I always wonder, I really tried looking mate.
My son in law was into dump digging and found so many treasures. Now he works many hours a week and has llittle time for those adventures. I envied his finds and always wished to be able to do the same thing. you guys found some nice things. Love the glass and with embossing is special.
Oregon, USA. Near where he and my daughter lived. He worked at a man made lake that had once been farm land. It was all bought up and made into a dam that is the local water supply. All the old farms from way back used to bury their garbage, or dumped into the little streams. What he found in his digging times were not as old or historic, but mostly household items.
A fun dig. I did get a chuckle at you guys-surrounded by spoils and still staring wistfully into the water at the unknown treasure just out of reach. Those garnet pots are amazing-beautifully done graphics and garnets inside!
Simon this was a very exciting watch here in South Africa. The ceramic items are brilliant. Great dig and stacks of “luck in the muck”. A sunny day too
You guys look nice and toasty in your short sleeve t-shirts LOL You were extra creative on this video. Well done Si, you are so talented. Kudos to you.

@Em Eff lol! I love watching both channels, makes me want to get out and do this although I probably wouldn't find anything worth picking up.

👍When you dipped your camera it looked like there's a treasure trove still in the pond. A clear bottom bucket might be fun to try there.
You have a great idea there! It did get pretty deep in places! Maybe one for next time 👍🏻🧡🐾

Maybe the green plate with the corpulent figure is a match box holder? The half open matchbox would fit over the green upstanding part.
Correct
That’s what I was thinking
Great shout 👍🏻🐾🧡
