To quote a fellow, mudlarker and detectorist, This is my excited face! 😃This is my excited face!😁 Excited for the reveal of The best find of 2023🎉 Hope you are enjoying all of the holiday festivities taking place this month Si🎉 Please give the kitties some extra love from me! Do miss my two quirky black girls😊
Is there anything you CAN'T do?! You, sir, are a jack-of-all-trades! Sorry that this is so late; I only discovered your wonderful channel a few months ago, and I've been binge-watching ever since. Cheers from Canada!
I had a whirligig as a toddler in the 60s, it was my favourite thing ever and I could play with it for hours. `It mysteriously disappeared one day and none of the adults in the family had any idea what happened to it...
In the mid 1950's , when we were children ., Our Dad, (Born 1905) showed us how to make those whirly toys, with large buttons . Brought back some fond memories.
Your lamp looks terrific! I was sceptical but I should have known better. Your creativity knows no bounds. Thanks for just mudlarking - no preaching about climate change, or politics or the state of the world - just pure escapism in mudlarking❤ Your channel is the BEST!!!
I am 70 year old male and regarding the whirling you found .as a child we used to play with a plastic version bought or found in a 3 penny lucky bags. It would give us hours of fun and we also referred to them as cheese cutters.thanks for the memories. James in Liverpool
As children we used to get the waxy cardboard out of the coffee jars, decorate them and make our own. The decorations would make patterns when spun. Good fun!
Oh goodness...I never ever would have come up with that idea for up cycling a metal detector! It's absolutely very clever, love the cheeky worm : ) Best lamp ever!!!
Si, what a great adventure you guys had. You certainly had luck in the muck with the 1746 George II and the pewter mug. I cannot even give enough compliments for the upcycle detector lamp. It is amazing, creative, educational and adorable with the added little cheeky worm. What a splendid video. Thanks for brightening this Sunday morning!
Hi Si 👋 awesome upcycle. The underground mud with lots of treasures and the earthworm is the cherry 🍒 on the top , and it took all attention With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥️
My Dad used to make whirligigs for us, out of Kraft Dairylea cheese boxes. We played with them for ages. I've made them for my great grandchildren, from Laughing Cow boxes, and the children were completely unimpressed, lol. How the World has changed over 75 years.
I’m so happy that you found your tankered. You can always tell when treasure hunters. Find something that’s on their list because he gets so excited I got out of this world excited and that’s what you showed. The lamp that you made at the end was so crazy good!! Until the next video, take care!!☺️🐬
Thanks for a childhood reminder we made whirly gigs out of a large button and string at my mamaw's house. I am now 73 years old! she goes back to Welsh ancestry! She was my first love!
Thank you for demonstrating the whirligig, I have never seen one before, and it is very cool! Congratulations on the George II coin, it is wonderful. The mug is fantastic!
The spinning string button brought memories of dad’s U S Navy service. He gave me a large button from his pea jacket to make the same toy over60 years ago, loved that hum!
Very exciting finds there Si! The history and research on those tiny bag seals and coins is always fascinating. .and that Mug!!! Congrats on that! A very happy,safe and healthy holiday to you,your friends and family(and cats) Cheers!!!
What a fantastic find and lamp. So jealous of you guys having so much old stuff. It's true we have a gold here in Australia but you have amazing history. Merry Christmas to you and all the good people around the world 😊
I think it’s so cool that you are a cat person. Makes you cooler than I already thought you were! Thank you for taking care of those beautiful fur babies!
That 1476 coin and pewter mug were absolute corker finds! And you did an incredible job with lamp. Very clever. Nice to see the fur babies too. Cheers Si xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
#shared as one of my favourites. Your thrill of finding something you’ve been looking for, for a long time really comes through & what a beauty it is. Plus I always love your upcycles, you’re a very talented artist.
Marvelous Mug and Gorgeous George! Lovely lamp King of Craftyness! 😊👍 You've found so many wonderful things, top 10 for every catagory, every year. The mug should be in the all time list, along with the roman pot❤
When heating pewter you have to heat it slowly to allow it to soften all the way through. It split because you heated it too fast and the heat had not penetrated fully. Try a heat gun or place it in boiling water to do a gradual heating.
@@Sifinds your very welcome , I’ve loved mudlarking since I was a child going with my dad , your videos are so inspiring, bringing history back with each find 👍
The whirlee gig was fun. My mother showed me how to do that with the big coat buttons there used to be, that and the cat's cradle done with string. Simple home made entertainment.
Whirligigs are definitely addictive. 70 years ago in Oregon I made mine from mother’s big coat buttons. Played with it for hours. I make tgem now for the children at Renaissance Festivals.
Simon that is the most innovative lamp I have ever seen! I just love your imagination when you create things. The base of the lamp is my favorite. It looks so real. Congratulations 🎈.
Woot! Thank you for sharing your Mud 'ventures with us. I admit I had no idea where you were going with the up-cycled lamp. Duh, Leesa! I was watching so intently...congratulations on your mug find. I didn't know Fleet was a river, every video I learn something new.
