    Great video of finds. Those birds are beautiful. Raised finches and parakeets. Learned loads from watching them. Most shocking thing was a female finch laid 3 eggs and hatched. Came home from work to find her nose down in another nest dead. Worried about feeding babies, was always told parents would not feed them if humans smells were on the babies. Heard a noise and the daddy was feeding them. So surprised.

    Great mudventure!! 😁 Love the Roman coin! 👍 My favorite bird is the Raven. I used to live off grid mid BC Canada before I moved back here to Sweden. Over there, we had more Ravens than crows, along with big bald Eagles and of course lots of other birds, including Hummingbirds, which every summer we were a banding station and would capture the little fluttering things and either band them or, register whatever stood on the band they already had. Was quite interesting to be able to see where they were originally banded. We had quite a few that had been banded by us, since they do come back to where they were born.
    When it comes to Ravens, I've "had" a couple of them to care for when they'd for whatever reason get injured. Gotta be careful with your fingers though!! 😳🤯 I got bit once and even if I was wearing a thick leather glove... Oh my that hurt!! 😣 After having cared for them and fed them for awhile, they did become quite "friendly". Not tame in any way but, they didn't mind if you stroked their feathers and they loved it when I'd sit out in their large pen and sing/hum softly to them. More than one would tuck their head under a wing and fall asleep. First I thought it was due to that they felt that my "singing" was so god awful that they tried to cover their ears, so they wouldn't have to listen to me... 😂 But was told later that it was due to that they enjoyed it and that they trusted me enough to fall asleep...

IT'S A SQUIRREL!" and you answered, "No, it's a 4", and I said, "Oh, you're right." (Sidebar: I had never actually heard of a stinkpot before, although it was something popular for us kids to yell at each other for names. I am constantly learning bits of history from you, Si!

    What a fun video. Congratulations on finding that Roman coin!
    My favorite bird is the California Scrub Jay. They are an extremely vocal group. I took to feeding them roasted peanuts (the nuts have to be roasted for nutritional reasons). It was a slippery slope. They started showing up at my door at all hours squawking and kicking up a fuss. They’d show their displeasure when there weren’t any fresh nuts available, so I’d spring into action and start roasting. They were impatient, strutting along the porch railing until I arrived with a fresh pan and then would never wait for the nuts to cool.
    It was fun, but they were very demanding and also ingrates. Haha… the things we do.

    As a person who makes things, and pays attention to minutia, the blade that cut that antler, had a very large and sharp notch in the surface of the blade. You can see three places where the notch has traveled along the face of the cut, and all with the same action, so it has left a raised bead along the cut face. All of the beads are exactly the same height and width.
    And the beads, and other tool lines all have a slight, and uniform curve to them. You get that when pushing a blade by hand, your hand naturally curves along the arc of a cut. You see it in wood working, have to guard against it if you want to not leave curved marks with a chisel or plane.
    I think that was a flint blade that cut that. A metal blade that has a notch in it, the notch probably isn't sharp, but a flint blade the chips and notches are razor sharp.

    While watching this as you ascertained what that find was, I remembered buying as a nipper 60 years ago for five shillings an old George III penny. You then showed exactly the same penny- how weird is that! I have dug mine out- it is less good condition and is dated 1806. A couple of years later- and I had an extensive collection of great silver coins, we moved and my mother got a new cleaning lady- and she stole all of them- including the George IV crown my grandmother gave me for passing the Eleven Plus! She did not bother with my coppers! We also had a huge lead ingot we made from melting all the lead pipes from our kitchen rebuild- and she even stole that- it was bloody heavy as we melted the pipes on a fire into a very large metal paint pot- four pints of solid lead! Old alcoholic witch stealing from kids but my mother never made an issue of it!

    My favourite bird is the Aussie Galah - bright pink and soft grey, and they are very cheeky, friendly larrikins - typically Aussie, really! Like most of our birds in Oz, they make a terrible screechy squawking sound - which only goes to prove that no one has it all - you can't be beautiful and have a lovely voice as well! The only Aussie bird we have with a lovely melodious, caroling call, is the magpie - I love them too, they just aren't as pretty as the galah.

    Fabulous Roman coin! I have to admit I'd never heard of that emperor but there's quite a few I'm not familiar with. Those green parakeets (here we call them Indian parakeets) are all over Athens now. When I moved here 14 years ago, there was just a colony of them in the National Gardens near parliament, but now they're all over the city, even in my neighborhood in the east suburbs. I'm told they're descended from birds that belonged to the royal menagerie before the king was expelled. Unlike other invasive species, they don't seem to do any harm, other than the ruckus.

    So many really interesting treasures you both found on this mudventue, Si. Love all the different cloth seals, tokens and various coins. My favorite bird here in Washington state are the various types of jays, scrub jays, blue jays and Stellar's jays. We put out feeders all year round along with suet cages so we get a lot of scrub jays. We've seen a couple blue jays and one Stellar's Jay. Stellar's jays tend to stay more in the trees but we see them often on our 23 mile trip to the closest city of size. The one bird I hate seeing at my feeders is Pacific Coast band-tailed pigeons. They are really large pigeons that live in the forest. They tip the feeders over and spill the food on the ground because they are too big to eat out of them. They are also very aggressive and chase all the songbirds away.

    My favourite bird is the Robin because a loved one is here, when a Robin is near. (Or vice versa). And the parakeets I saw in Lee Green on Christmas Day in 1990 when I took my newborn baby out for a walk. It was a really warmish day and I didn’t even have a coat on, luke had all the clothes and blankets on him but I didn’t have a coat on. When I heard the noise I looked at the trees to see about twenty of them in the trees. It was so nice to see them. Noisy but beautiful to see, incidentally when I went home and told my then husband what I saw, he asked if I’d popped into the tigers head pub for a swift half ha ha ha never mind I’m glad they stayed although do wonder in winter how they manage to survive!

    I love the parakeets.
    The Quaker Parakeets thrive in New York City which I did not know when I lived there. I didn’t learn until I moved back to Canada that there are colonies on City Island in NYC, including on the street that I lived on… How could I not have noticed????? They build huge nests on telephone and electricity poles and are quite noisy (though I can’t say that I would have minded the noise, myself). I can only think that the colonies were smaller when I was there.
    The city used to destroy the nests but I think now that, unless the nests pose an actual danger of fire from being built on electricity poles, they leave them alone.
    There’s debate about how they arrived in NYC. The arguable story is that a crate of them was being unloaded at one of the airports and broke open. That may or not be so but it’s the one most quoted origin story.

    Living in such a young nation, America, I'm always so shocked when I find a coin dating back to the Roman period. As a metal detectorist myself, that would be a dream coin, but I have to settle for a silver Spanish Reale coin. I would love to dig up either a Roman coin or an onion bottle someday. Onion bottles are extremely rare due to how thin the glass was they were made out of. I have dug up case gin bottles from the 1700s, and a friend found an English coin from 1649, but that is about as old as they get. Very interesting finds boys. Thanks for sharing with us!!
