- Join Mudlarkers Si and Matt as they search the historic Thames Foreshore in search of long lost relics. This episode is made up of TWO YEARS worth of finds - most made at night. There are epic discoveries including Hammered coins, Love tokens, Georgian coins and a 17th century token that could have been in the Great Fire of London itself! What do you think?

Ahhhh 1739, good times.
I had the pleasure of meeting both Si and Nic yesterday and I would just like to say they are as beautiful and just as nuts as on film. I had the best day even though I didn’t find anything at all and had the mishap of ripping my shorts in the first few minutes of meeting them I would do it all again in a heartbeat ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ xxx
Haha. Hi Sam! RIP and the shorts 🙈
Oh you’re so fortunate to have met them, how wonderful!!🥰
@@Sifinds😂😂
That 1665 tavern token is really cool. Great history there. Thanks for studying and telling us all about it. Matt's hammered coin is awesome as well. Congrats to both of you.
Cheers Lee! Amazing what you can find over a couple of years!
Thanks for sharing your intimate times together but seriously, what a great video Si Finds! What great Si Finds! Lucky Mucky! I know you said it was a combination of larks but what fun! Now I can rest on this very hot Sunday here in Pa. I always watch you and Nic's videos and a few other of your larking Pals as well when available. Great histories you gave in Nic's video too! Thanks again Simon and your Larking Buddy as well, Matt I believe, yes? Lots of Luck inna Muck and Love, Light and Peace to you guys and your Families! DaveyJO in Pa.
Thanks Dave - yes it's amazing the quality of finds you accumulate over a few years of night larking!
The copper floral band and backing look like they might be the top of a hair comb
Good idea!
That’s what I first thought. Or maybe a hair clip. Mine always had a roll of “teeth” to keep my hair in place.
Hair clip was the first that came to mind
I was thinking hair clip too.🙂
I was thinking barrette.
Hi Si, wonderful finds. 👍 Great video, yes that skyline...wow in such a relatively short time it changed so much! The 1665 token is really interesting & I love how you tell the history and showed the map, thank you for taking the time to do that, really appreciate it, it just adds to the intrigue of your finds! Thank you for sharing...take care, stay safe!
Thank you kindly 🐾🧡
Thank you for sharing the finds and the fun. See you soon.
Thanks pal!
Love the clean ups, especially when something can go from so unrecognizable like your coin to being able to see every little detail. It's awesome xxx
Thanks Zanna. Yes it’s satisfying to see what lies beneath the crud
It's very soothing watching things be cleaned and made into new usable items. I do enjoy that part of your channel, rather than just finding things and leaving it at that we get to see the after as well. Keep up with the good work Si xxx
Matt: You're a naughty boy!!!!! 😂😂😂
You might have to chuck naughty Matt into the river! Awesome traders token and coins! I saw an awesome picture taken of the comet Neowise taken over Stonehenge. I can see it from where I live but I don't have the big camera lens needed for a really good picture
Awesome Karen!
Really awesome finds ..the 1666 token was epic find . 👍
Thank you!🐾🧡
Very productive night ... and what a moon to light your way!!
nights, thanks Marcel
Thank you for producing this episode; interesting tokens, coins, and finds abound! Liked the intro w/mate Matt. A bit of the lighter side of larkin’. 😅
Cheers dude! 🐾🧡
I love mudlarking Sunday video uploads!
🤘🏻🐾🧡
Love seeing you and Matt having a good time. Always interesting to watch your finds.
Thanks Elaine 🧡👍🏻
Thank you Si. Great video. Love the history and clean up bit.
Many thanks!
I always look forward to seeing your new videos
Kind of you to say! Thank you!
Excellent foraging Simon and Matt, and some brilliant finds. The research you do into some of your finds is always appreciated and makes them all the more fascinating. Cheers lads.
Cheers Paddy!
Brilliant finds chaps! cheers!
Thanks G!
Just dug up a 1960 six pence this morning here in Canada now I'm watching Si find one.
Nice clean up on the token.
Great channel
Epic - well done!
Your mudlarking videos with you and Matt are ALWAYS so much fun. You two would be a great stand up comedy act 😁😆😂!!! One can really see and hear the endearing friendship you gents share👏😁.
Question, my friend 🧐🤔? Was that button you found a Royal Marine? I come from a very long line of USA Marines Corp veterans (4 generations) and would really love to show my brother the video. If it is , any possible date of it?
🕉️☮️stay safe and healthy 🙏. ☺️🤗🤭😘
Hi Juliet. I’m still not entirely sure about the button... yet to be verified, but we have found Royal Marine buttons in the past. Nicola has found a couple on film 👍🏻
I have so many comments..... That Matthew is a sweetie! You mudlovers have such a wealth of knowledge, about all sorts of stuff, antiquities and their periods, how to clean and take care of everything you find, you care about the environment and about the people who could use or get hurt by that horrible knife, you search in all weathers, in all conditions, night time as well, and have amazing eyesight to see such tiny objects, even in the dark. I always get a little buzz when I see a new blog from both Si finds and Nicola White. You are both so interesting....and I wanna be a mud lover too! But a bit hard from here down under. At least being in lockdown I have plenty of time to devote to you tube. Thanks for sharing all you trips out with all your fans Si. We are grateful to the max!!! There I think that’s about it..... Hooroo from Yvonne in Melbourne
some really great finds ☺
Thanks 🐾🧡
It wouldn't be a proper Sunday morning without a lark in the dark in the mud with my fav mudlover Si!
(Close 2nd, but not second best is Nic)
Great collection of finds.
My new phrase of the day is "it's a bit manky"
Thanks Si and Matt!
Haha, thanks Francine! Yeah great word for anything a bit rough looking
always looking forward to your new videos
Cheers Mike!
What a great collection of finds! Thanks, Si.
Cheers man!
Love the big piece of Staffordshire ware, the cannon/grape shot pieces and Elizabeth hammered coin are really cool 😍
Thanks 🐾🧡
Thank you Si, such a great video ☮️🇨🇦
Thank you!
Matt dressed up for his daytime mudlarking excursion. Nothing like a good bromance. 😊. Your videos are always full of great finds with interesting history. I really enjoy watching your channel!
Thanks Robin!
Excellent video!! Great finds and very entertaining. Keep them coming!! Georgia USA
Thanks very much! 🐾🧡
Lovely video Simon as always! Cheers!
Cheers! 🐾🧡
Matt should be on telly he always makes me laugh loved the intro 😂
7:35 "Feel like stone-age man." Mud-man more like! Wahay! Nice find Si.
😛🐾🧡
I was thinking something like "Future man who has regressed to Stone Age, finds Iron Age relic". LOL
Just the greatest channel 😊❤️
Thanks Tony!
Agreed! 😁👍🏻
Thanks Si and Matt. My mother had a tortoise shell comb with that decorative flower band and other part on it. Nice finds.
Ah thanks!
Oh, you two, clowning around, 😂. I have to ask, how the heck did you see that shilling under the rock? Good find!
That’s a wicked looking knife. That floral band could be a piece of a lady’s bracelet. Your London Fire coin is just awesome.
Thanks Coni. Years of looking at rocks and mud!
It always amazes me how much STUFF gets into the Thames...did people just chuck everything in all the time?
Yes and no. It was a thousand times busier and has been used for 2,000 years. There used to be 1,000s of wharfs, boats and 10sbof thousands of workers. Now it’s desolate in comparison. Things were lost, but also things got washed down drains, swept into the Thames, we can’t comprehend how busy the place was
Before I even start to settle in and enjoy Si's adventure - Please lovely people let's get Si to 50K subscribers. He never disappoints- fun, humor, crafting and there is always a bit of history / education. Let's make it happen....
Thanks Bev! If you want you could share my video on any social media platforms you want 🤘🏻🐾🧡
At 3:20 when you get the lead button -- there is what looks like a coin just a few inches to the right. Could have been Spanish gold!!!!! :-)
Yes I left it for another trip 😉
@@Sifinds -- Leave it until I can get over there and get a permit!!!! :-)
That is a cool token, great find.
Thank you!
Wonderful to be mudlarking with you, day or night. Love the token and the coins you so carefully cleaned. Thanks Si.
Thanks Debbie!
Y'all are so cool and so funny God bless you be careful that mud is sticky
Thanks Rosie£
Another great watch Si, thank you so much for sharing : @ )
Anytime!
Great episode as always! Was about to say please put some of those pins in your Etsy store, but you already did & know some are mine!
Brilliant news!
You got a good eye finding even the tiniest things found and in the dark too. Awesome finds on the coins. That band with the flowers on it could have been a hair pin or clip maybe? Love the video Si.
Thanks Sally!
Gosh every time I watch these videos from si finds I’m always so happy to see what he finds each video. Keep up these awesome videos, stay safe and get some luck in the muck. ☺️😁
Cheers pal!
Oh, that Matt! Such a silly guy. 💗💗
Another exciting mudlark, Si-finds you are a star love your descriptions and your enthusiasm xxx
Hey Sam! Thanks lovely
You find always interesting pieces. Thanks for sharing...🤩👍💗
Nice cleanup on the token. Much more detail than I would have thought possible. I have to try that soon. I have everything I need except time 😁.
Do it instead of the washing up Jim! 😂
Fantastic finds. Keep it up Si-finds.
Cheers dude!
Si I always look forward to your videos. The clean ups are excellent. You're for sure the best at them. All your finds were splendid. Thanks for sharing.
Ah thanks pal!
"Moon out tonight
I don't care if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes.....
Another great lark Si! You found great stuff. Cheers, good health, and happy larking from Seattle...🖐❤😷
Always interesting your outings.
WOOOOOW ! That's FANTASTIC FINDS !!! 😍😍😍
You and Nicola having been dredging up a lot of interesting history.
.Those Great Fire coins and their "owners" are really fascinating.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Cheers Rik !
Hi mudlover wonderful mudlarking I really enjoyed it love it thank u mudlover 👍 take care
Thanks my friend!
@@Sifinds mudlover 👍
Hi Si,
Another great mudlarking video, you found some great finds. Can’t wait until next weeks video, or maybe sooner.
Cheers Errol!
Omg! that token is amazing! If only it could talk lol x
I know! 🐾🧡
Great find that 1665 traders token! Do you think a lot of those pins were dumped in the river, how is it that so many of them ended up in there? Love your videos, Si, hopefully you can have a cheeky pint at the Captain Kidd next time you're mudlarking! Cheers!🇦🇺🇬🇧
The pins fell off clothes, they used 100s of them in dresses and neck ruffs etc. They would fall off and end up being swept into the Thames
Great finds guys! Love the history!!! 👍
What a great mud-venture! Great finds as well, especially that token! Such a lot of history to your finds in this video Si. I do so love to see the results good cleanup.
Please, both of you safe and healthy. Here’s to luck in the muck!
Thanks dude! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Amazing clean up. Best video I’ve seen in along time . Well done 🤩
Thanks. Not best of mine I hope 🐾🧡
Awesome vid. Night larks are so cool. The traders token is amazing, such history behind such a small thing!
Thanks Anne!
Great fun, as always! Thanks for having us along! That decorative band is beautiful.
Thanks Mudlover!
The decorative band reminds me of a female’s barrette.
Informative cleanup, wonderful results, thanks for sharing.
Thank you again for a tremendous adventure - and in particular for going the extra mile to bring us the history as well as the finds. It’s amazing to think that if you hadn’t have found the token, maybe it would have been lost to history forever.
That’s true. Thanks for the kind words!
That token is amazing. Its much more interesting finding something like this because its real social history unlike a bog standard coin.. I bet the museum wanted that?
Just gets better and better to watch Si Finds. Thanks for 5he great work!
Thanks Leone!
+Loved this Mudlark with you tonight its always so good when you get to find the coins and tokens I'm going to be right there beside you when you find the Gold coin beaming with a smile well only beside you as in TH-cam lol thank you have so enjoyed it thank you.
Yes you are there in spirit!
Brilliant finds and the history of them is fascinating. Keep the videos coming Si 🔍👍🏼
Cheers Pete!
Yay! Love it when you chaps work the Thames foreshore Simon. Buttons and coins and other treasures. Love London. One day I’ll get back there. Woohoo!!! Ooh police patrol too 👀
Thanks Georgie!
Si! TY, really enjoyed the hunt! Amazing finds. Good to see Matt again, that big goofball! :) Thanks for the great research! You and Nic are wonderful on research and great detail of history on your finds. I love that! Ty again. Kelly/Indiana
Thank you!!
Awesome as always Si, Nic's whole show today was mostly about the Great Fire, you two are amazing and such fun. Keep going strong and stay safe .🇨🇦🐘🤗
Yeah I know - I designed her thumbnail for her 😛
And thank you for the kind words!
Si finds always bringing a smile to my day.
Enjoyed! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure 🐾🧡
Brilliant video Si. Such amazing things you find. Thanks for posting.✅✔✅🎆....
My pleasure John! 🐾🧡
Wow that was wicked! So many cool finds! Thanks for sharing. 😊
My pleasure !
I never tire of watching your videos Si. 🤗. You always manage to come across some of the most interesting finds! Thanks for sharing your love of mudlarking with the world. I wish we had a similar river that contained such treasures here in America. 😕
SeahawksFan 72 thank you!!!
Wow Si! That was really fun! Lots of great finds! I'm happy for you! Thanks for taking me along! Hugs!
Thanks Marg! The bar is high now!
I probably would have chucked that knife as well. Who knows, maybe in 1000 years a mudlover might find it and wonder how it came to be there? Some great finds with unknown stories although some hints were there. Wonder who lost them and when?
Haha yes great thought!
Did you notice the Batman logo on it? It was probably a collectible sold thru a catalog. I’ve seen similar items in collectible catalogs here in the states.
Great finds. I would love to Mudlark. Love watching you and Nick. I love to find things too. 🇺🇸❤
Thank you! It’s a great hobby!
Lol! Love the comedy intro. So nice to see true friendship. Once again another great video. Have a safe week.
Thanks Diann!
Great day/night out Simon and Matt! Loads of awesome finds. Makes me so jealous watching these you both look like you have the best time. Great work as always mate. Take care dude!
Cheers Thomas! This was a lot of outings and we blanked a lot too...
Great video, some really good finds for nighttime.
Thanks for the great video; it makes my day😊
Thanks Deb!
Great video Si! Such a wonderful selection of finds. Love that token
Thanks Nic! See ya soon!
That long cross coin is one of my holy grails!
Amazing stuff, now I need to add traders tokens to my 'want to find' list 👍
I love when you find coins and you can identify them. That’s so cool!! I always show my sons them and we would talk about what it was like back then the coin was made.
My favourite author that wrote under several names, but her legal name was Eleanor Hubert, would combine the story with real history and she talked about the great fires of London in two of her books and the way she described it you thought you were right there watching it. I found it so interesting that you found a coin from that timeframe. You must’ve been so thrilled!!
Congrats on your finds and I’m happy your friend did find some treasures as well!!
Great videos Si!!🌊🐬
Great finds Simon!
Great video! Love the Thames after dark. It seems that shining the torch around brings out the sparkly items. 😀
It sometimes does!
Si you never disappoint with your videos you found some interesting things and thank you for the history of your finds
Thanks Susan!
your videos are always informative and very well made. Keep them coming.
Thanks! 🐾🧡
