The Thames is like a giant treasure chest. It's hard to believe the amazing things you can find there and the diversity of items. I lived in London for nearly four years in the early 2000s and you can bet if I'd had any concept of mudlarking the Thames I'd have been there at every opportunity! We don't have this kind of concentration of treasures here in NZ so I will continue to just be envious of these videos! So enjoyable, thank you! Love the clean ups and upcycling too, and 'meeting' all of the great people you mudlark with in your videos. What a great bunch of people 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Another FABulous spot you found before it gets smashed and gone forever. Just think, those lovely items, padlock, gun, green post top, cutlery, etc, etc, would never have been discovered. Thank you for rescuing them and for sharing them with all us armchair mudlarks! Hooroo from Down-under. 😁🦘
I came here from Nicola's channel, I'm really loving your videos and am having a binge watch of them tonight...but I had to laugh, Nicola is always so gentle when excavating finds and there you are literally stabbing the light with your trowel lol >_
I can so totally relate to the thrill of digging up bits of the past and it's so gratifying, even as only a watcher, to see them later revealed as great bits of history and sometimes with a new beauty. Thanks guys, you (and Nicola) have got me totally hooked as a 'mudlover'.
At 12:07 that's a hand plane iron rather than an escutcheon plate (I'm sure a zillion other people will mention the same). Awesome video as always, Si.
Really enjoyed watching you and Stu. You both had lots of cool finds. The way you clean-up everything and present them is greatly appreciated. The histories were interesting. Thank you Si
The flask that you picked up at the start was very modern, the ground glass joint was for connecting to other articles of lab ware usually a condenser or a glass bend. Usually made of borosilicate glass, Pyrex or similar.
Looked like a glue bottle from the sixties. The threaded cap had an applicator inside made of wire and cloth or sponge. Earlier ones had a cork stopper. With the applicator. Very common then. Thanks.
You teapot . . . Collected you 😂. The lamp thing you found look like an old ships lamp to me . Any time I hear somebody say for candle I keep thinking about The two Ronnies .
Just coming off a 7 day bout of pneumonia to find your video! Yay, so excited! Loved digging thru the mud with you and Stu. I always love the clay pots and your padlock was very cool! I always have such a good time tagging along with you, I love your great sense of humor, it always brightens my day! xxx ~Jen
I'm so jealous or maybe envious of yous. You live in a country full of such rich history. And to just walk down the river side and find what you do . Truely amazing and wonderful to see. Thank you so much for doing what you do and recording it as well. I'm from canada so even though we have some history we are still a young country compared to yours. Alot harder to find things old here, to find something as old as you do would truely be amazing for me. Again thank you for sharing your finds.
Wonderful finds an. other part of history ❤😮🎉🎉🎉thank you for sharing your video .from shirley from new Bern, north carolina u.s.a. meet up finding more nice finds.❤❤❤😅😅😊😊 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have to say, it's amazing and satisfying to see the finds cleaned up: a wonderful historical repository of finds! I'm watching you videos, by the way, in the early hours of the morning (serious jetlag after visiting family in the States), and thoroughly enjoying some 'me time'! Look forward to your next video : Ta La! Tony
Hello Si Finds, Well you found bullets, shells, grenades and now a gun. I think it's about time to find a gold coin, I mean a good old one too. So I'll be waiting to see that this new year. Thank You Kindly! I Love watching you guys find all those interesting things from our ancestors of the past. Love, Light and Peace and a great gold coin! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
The revolver I could tell right away was a .32 cal. They fit in the palm of your hand they are so small. Here in the states they are referred to as a "Saturday Night Special" easy to carry for protection . Fits in a ladies pocketbook. They were also one of the most dangerous guns to own. Due to the hammerless design, people often shot themselves, or discharged the gun with out intending to. I really enjoy your hunts in that area, you always find great stuff there!
Sorry, no. Those guns were NOT called ''Saturday Night Specials" in their day. "Saturday Night Special" was a term cooked up by a New York Times columnist in 1968. Cheap little guns like that H&R were known as "Suicide Specials" in their day. You could buy one at a sporting goods store, hardware store, etc for very little money. Five dollars for the gun, 50 cents for a box of cartridges, take it home, and blow your own brains out with it. Most were good for at least one shot, so the average customer was almost always satisfied with his purchase.
Wonderful finds, guys! I love the Sainsbury jar!!! And that spanking pearl button! And the revolver, wow! And as always, LOVE the history lesson! Happy New Year, Si!
that "brick" looked like a sharpening stone, the round white ceramic thing was an incense burner and while in its day was cheap not many perfect ones survive, funnily enough i have seen them upside down with a candle stuck in them too.
Hi. The jar that you found at the start of this video once contained Gloy paper glue. Gloy is still available as Paper Glue and as Gloy Stick but in modern containers. When I was a lad, in the 1940s and 50s, Gloy Paper Glue came in jars such as you have found, it had an inbuilt brush fixed to the stopper and was grey/white in colour and similar to todays wallpaper adhesive.
You are cleaning the brick for the same reason I do. . . Lol . I found some on a park shore near my house. I went down the rabbit hole that is brick collecting.
Excellent hunt, better than half a dozen Time Team episodes (if I was allowed to watch them!) Hope you can exhaust that spot before it's all built over - would the detector be much use, or just too much metal/iron - the old pistol was interesting & the research even more so !?? 👍😊🐾💍
This is much more interesting to me than Time Team. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an archaeologist but it turns out I really wanted to be a mudlark!
I’m from Belgium and know Sainsbury... The first supermarket who cared for the wealthier part of the population at the start... All the finest products from the Empire
I only just bought a small teapot from the Op-shop and it says 'foreign' on the bottom of it rather than the maker or country. I can't find it anywhere online. You just explained to me where and around about when it would have been made. Thank you.
youre 100% correct in saying dont point it at me,they're dead men in many a cemetery because they didnt follow that rule,and some of them were shot by guns that looked just as unlikely to fire as that one
The size of that key hole!!!.. my maybe it was something on the Bridge 🌉 maybe the key 🔑 to the GALLOWS..! OR MAYBE to the. Crown room ,,, lol your spot on mate ...thank you for the adventure,,,,,,Black Dog Out.....!
Greetings from Virginia! I think that your estausion find is a woodworkers hand planer blade. I hope it cleans up well and there should be a makers mark on one side. Good luck!
Although this video is 2 years old, here's my answer to what I'd do with that revolver. Assuming i found it where i grew up (Texas) i would clean it, have it restored, research it, then display it. .32 caliber is pretty small, but it's still in use today.
It’s likely that the round milk glass jar was pear of a lady’s dressing table set, it may have held lotion, cream, hair pomade etc. So it’s not just in the movies that crooks dump their guns in the sewer! Thanks for the fun vid.
Si thanks for the replies. Don’t ever be sorry it’s probably me not knowing how to find it. As to the WiFi ear plug. It’s toasted indeed. Lol Had a blast watching this vid. Keep saving the artifacts. History is important.
Whoah, nice spot for hunting! I particularly liked that key Stu found and your Anchor padlock; there's just something really intriguing about old keys and locks. As for the gun, I was fairly sure it wasn't a toy once I saw the patterning on the handle; most toy revolvers (especially old ones) don't have that kind of texturizing, they're left slick; I had an uncle who collected both the real ones and the toy ones and had them up on the wall in a display. Very cool find! Liked the little pearl button, too, and wondered with that loop on the back if it had been the other end of some sort of fastener-chain. Beautiful little thing.
YsabetJustYsabet Thanks for the comment. Yeah was a good day of finds! I think the Pearl button is just that, a button, it could possibly be a cuff link but don’t think so
To clean old coins mix a 1/4 cup of vinegar with2 teaspoons of salt. Let sit for a few minutes then rinse well because the vinegar will keep working and ruin the coin in time.
Amazing finds! Even with the cold it would be so interesting to go down there and dig around. Just never knowing what you can find drives a person to keep going. I love your videos. But please be careful with ungloved hands! I don’t mean to sound like a worry wart, but some years ago I caught leptospirosis and came extremely close to dying. Trust me-it was beyond heinous. Looking back I feel so stupid. I was traveling in Latin America and day after day walked around with bare feet in the mud and sand. I had cuts on my feet from accidentally stepping in a nest of sand crabs. The crabs were literally hanging from my toes! I was screaming, my best friend was screaming, the guys were laughing (of course!). But I am sure the bacteria entered that way. Weeks later I had 106F fever for more than two days, throwing up (yuck)-I couldn’t eat, drink or even open my eyes to the light. I felt like every muscle in my body was torn, every bone broken.. I began hallucinating, and realized I was dying. Finally my sister came, and I grabbed her hand and told her I needed help. I am in Chicago, so the Dr.’s assumed it was some tropical virus I had picked up on my trip. If they realized it was a bacterial infection they could have given me antibiotics. That is very upsetting to know now. In any case, the damage was already done by the time I got to the hospital and I came down with Weil’s disease. It attacked my liver and I became severely jaundice. It was about six months before I could even return to work part time, and not full time for a year. I have never fully regained the strength I had before I became ill. So again, not to be a nag, but precaution is key! Waterproof gloves and good hand washing afterwards. Thank you for bearing with me with this lecture. I suffered so much through my ignorance, and it would make me feel better to know I could help others not go through the same ordeal.
Looks like a real gun to me. (that was before I watched the end of the video) We were on the Thames quite a few years ago and one of our club member found a hand gun. He threw it into the middle of the river.
bad idea, if a modern weapon it should be brought to the police in the off chance it can help solve a crime, due to laws in my country, if it's real then it's highly illegal and would have absolutely been used for crime.
In b4 your door gets kicked in around 04:00 at night by like all the bobbies in London because you found a old rusted gun carcass in the Thames LOL "OI GUV'N! YEW NEED A LOICENSE FER DAT GUN YA KNUW WHAD I MEAN"
I'm very impressed to see how you clean up various articles, is there any possibility that you could go through some of the methods and materials you use, and show us how to clean up some of own, probably inferior discoveries ourselves?
I'm glad you and your mate were able to find and save some history before it gets covered up forever. Nice find on the pistol. It was a toss up with me as to real or not. But the grips gave it away. Love the utensils you kept finding. Should be able to have a diner party with that amount of forks and spoons.
Watch me find a WW2 shell case! th-cam.com/video/2AplvFMtWdM/w-d-xo.html

The revolver is a Harrington & Richardson Safety Hammer Double Action in 32 S&W.
What year? Ya think

I love how you pick up a variety of items and not just one type, then give the history if it can be found. Makes for a great video, thank you!
Thanks Misty! Appreciate that!

*Sarahsaurus* I was thinking that he’s chipping away everything that doesn’t look like a lamp, until he’s got one! 🙋🏻♂️
Love it when you dig the history out and research it , brill ! Keep em coming 👍
Some lovely finds there, amazing once the mud is washed off and things are cleaned up. You must have a good eye. Thank you.
Love the padlock! I am imagining in my mind that it was on a sailors locker safeguarding worldly possessions. And the pencil! Neato!
I can so totally relate to the thrill of digging up bits of the past and it's so gratifying, even as only a watcher, to see them later revealed as great bits of history and sometimes with a new beauty. Thanks guys, you (and Nicola) have got me totally hooked as a 'mudlover'.

Great as always, I really enjoy the historical context you provide for your finds.
At 12:07 that's a hand plane iron rather than an escutcheon plate (I'm sure a zillion other people will mention the same). Awesome video as always, Si.
Curoi MacDaire Thanks mate. Appreciate that. That makes sense seeing as I found an old saw nearby. Prob from an old workshop nearby!
Absolutely right.
I was just about to say the same.
Thank you for sharing!
Really enjoyed watching you and Stu. You both had lots of cool finds. The way you clean-up everything and present them is greatly appreciated. The histories were interesting. Thank you Si
I love the "spot the find" segments. Another great adventure. Thanks!
Lisa Lorentz Thanks Lisa!

TIL about kiln furniture and "foreign" pottery/porcelain marks! Thanks! Very cool!
nice finds lads, and good follow up info on the gun
The item at 10:17 is the receiver for a Suffolk latch. It's quite a fancy one, they're usually much planer.
Cool thanks

Now that's what I call a 'concealed weapon'.. 😆 Great video 👍
Kaye gb haha. Love it!
Damn I love that drum synth, can't get it out of my head now.
Hi. The metal item at 12:15 is, of course, a blade from a woodworker's hand plane.
I think the “ginger jar” is possibly one of the things you would put on a grave for flowers. Like a rose bowl for a grave.
Excellent hunt, better than half a dozen Time Team episodes (if I was allowed to watch them!) Hope you can exhaust that spot before it's all built over - would the detector be much use, or just too much metal/iron - the old pistol was interesting & the research even more so !?? 👍😊🐾💍

8:15 looks like a motorcycle carbide headlamp . I have a smaller version for pushbikes. The Army used them during WW2 for dispatch riders on bycycles.

Reclaimed bricks are great for making things for the garden. Old ones are the best.
Quite a selection of cool finds, my favorites are the cast iron cover & the Anchor padlock, nice hunt
To clean old coins mix a 1/4 cup of vinegar with2 teaspoons of salt. Let sit for a few minutes then rinse well because the vinegar will keep working and ruin the coin in time.
That big double cog you found could become a nice candle holder ,not left to be eaten by the rust.
Forking Hell! 😉 Did someone call the cutlery? 😆
Andy Pockett stick a fork in me...
An 8oz weight is better than a 2 hour wait! Hahaha

Hi. Thanks. Yes nice idea
I'm glad you and your mate were able to find and save some history before it gets covered up forever. Nice find on the pistol. It was a toss up with me as to real or not. But the grips gave it away. Love the utensils you kept finding. Should be able to have a diner party with that amount of forks and spoons.
Mary Degenkolb Thanks Mary! Yes I often wonder what to do with all the bent cutlery if find. Maybe a wind chime..? 🤔
The round flat pearl item is part of a cuff link or collar stud.
Incredible finds. Interesting indeed.
Angelo David Thanks pal!
That was fun. Thank you.
Ralph Duddles Cheers Ralph!
