Isn't that slag glass just gorgeous? Love the videos and the history.
Could you take a moment in one of your videos to show and explain shear top, blob top, three part, etc? I’ve looked up what they look like and sort of when they were used,, but it would be great to hear a practical account of what they signal to you about age, use, source of material for the dump etc. do the bottle dumps represent single dwellings or community sized deposits?
Thanks. I so enjoy your videos.
Yes please do!! Thanks!
Hi Jen. Great idea. Tim is dying to show me his collection when he sorts it out. I’ll get him to do a bottle identifying class too!
Thanks!
@@Sifinds That would be great - I keep hearing these terms and wondering which is which - shear tops I always presumed were broken - so a collection revue would be awesome!
I really enjoy your days out with Tim. Love it when you are on the Thames on you own as well! Thank you for sharing your Si finds with us!
Cheers Debs 👍🏻🐾🧡
Wow, first and a complete clay pipe to boot, yes. I finally got my mud larking book, can’t wait to read it.
Yes, thousands of bowls just never a complete one. Just shows you they are pretty rare
Oh, Si.... thank you for the beautiful emerald you dug up for my Birthday on May 29✨❣️✨You both are finding beautiful little bottles...lovely colors and...perfume bottles are my fav✨🥰💜
That complete nobbly clay pipe is definitely one to show Nicola 👍
I enjoyed to see two mud diggers and such wonder caches and finds Hard work to move so much dirt well mud! joan
Cheers Joan!!
Loved that great chunk of glass! So vibrant!
The bottle digging videos are very entertaining. My brother and I used to go to dumps he would find in the woods. Found some pretty ones but nothing very old. Still was a lot of fun and fond memorirs.
Awesome
All your finds are remarkable! I can never pick a favorite, cuz I love them all! Tim is super knowledgeable. Thank you for all the work you do to save bits of history. 👍
Another fund hunt, thanks Si & Tim - I wonder if the slag glass would tumble? Could be fun to find out? Love the dinky blue bottle - I do find it fascinating that in this garbage dump is all this evidence of bustling, thriving industry (the SIZE of that cod liver oil bottle) - not only do they rarely make bottles like that any more, but what on earth happened to all those businesses, that commerce & industry, all those great ideas and ambition? Their epitaph buried in a dump - until some Mudluver resurrects a relic to prove they were here? History! - Keep well, mate & have a g'd one! 👍🐾🦘🥂
Sorry late stopped by to say Absolutely Love the Mud big thumbs up every time 😁😁👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mary!!
Not a coin, 😟, oh well. Sweet little Morrals bottle. Chunk of glass is gorgeous. Such a lovely little blue bottle, and Tim’s aqua bottle too. That is a strange stone knife sharpener. Beautiful little bell ink bottle. Tim’s stopper is really nice. Maybe for the Pinauld perfume bottle?
Congratulations 🎈🎊 Cheryl Swanson. Enjoy!
He tried it in the Pinauld bottle on film. It didn’t fit sadly. Thanks x
@@Sifinds I thought it was another bottle
Glass slag 😂😂😂 had me in tears for hours
The cone shaped object could be the pestle of a mortar and pestle. Or a cone for a kiln! Love watch you find things. I actually found a complete codd bottle in my local antique store in Minnesota!
Cindy 🌸🌸🌸
Simon, your vids are always top notch and when your diggin' with Tim, the finds and information are the best. The tiny blue was my favorite. : ) Love your upcycling!
You got some lovely finds today. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love that tiny blue ink,my favourite colour♥
Stunner isn’t it? 👍🏻🐾🧡
The slag glass is amazing!!
The pipes were very unusual; haven´t seen any, that looked like that, before!
and even though the bell ink bottle was cracked, still such a pretty find
- love from Denmark 🌸💕🌱
Thanks Z!!
A great treasure hunt guys, thank you for sharing with us. Now I've got that folk song "Enniskillen Dragoons" going on in my head!
Haha. Now I’m gonna have to look that up aren’t I!! 😂
One of these days when you hold the bottle to your mouth a bunch of dirt will fall in it.
That happened Pat, don’t you remember. Lol
No I don't. Lol
My thought exactly.
I keep thinking that too and - mercy some are poison bottles!
Better dirt than poison 🥞🥞🥱
Alright I'm hooked happy digging
Emerald, my birthstone! That cross stopper might designate that it was part of a chemist's container.
Si awesome finds! my fave was the slag glass its beautiful,,,great show as always,
Thanks Tony! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Toni🤦♀️😂
That tiny blue bottle is gorgeous n so cute. Lol. I like Tim's tiny bottle too. I love tiny bottles. Lol.
Yes they are super cute
The tiny blue bottle is a real gem.
Totally enjoyed. Take care.
You found some duck in the muck! I'm sorry...couldn't help myself... 😁
Haha. Buggar should’ve said that. Haha
Some lovely things to be found on the shore. Beautiful place inland loved the Robin, bottles and buttons are my favourite
Cheers Mary! 👍🏻🐾🧡
About the Morrel bottle, it was gum Arabic, hence the Arabian type window around the letter M.
the stone is about one third of a honing stone for the large bladed two handed sythe
Simon I just love it when you and Tim get together and see the amazing signs that you dig out of the hole Ha Ha Ha Ha. I think my favourite find for you is the little blue bottle it looks amazing and the top of the toothpaste and for Tim I love his cross bottle stopper amazing, thank you for such a great video look forward to seeing you next week stay safe❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Cath!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
That was a great day out. My mammy used to take me digging in old dumps when I were little. That tiny blue bottle is sweet!! Thank you for sharing. I bought a Kindle addition of Tim's book, as well as a paper back. So much history!! I love it!
Nice one 👍🏻🐾🧡
Some great little finds by yourself and Tim, and congratulations to Cheryl
Cheers Brett!
awesome finds
Tiny cobalt bottles are my favorites. Gorgeous!
The colour is sublime
First prize for the teeniest cutest bottle ever!
Right!
Those bell shaped bottles would make lovely Christmas tree ornaments.
Yes they would!
Excellent video Si! Inniskillen Pipe my favourite 👍🇮🇪
Ah ha yes!
Love all the beautiful stuff you both found.
Thanks Jana!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Waiting for you to tip one if those bottles up a d catch a mouthful of gunk one day. Nice finds.
This shell, in Dutch is called doopvontschelp! They can grow upto 1,5meters ,from indonesia or the phillipines the name in translation means baptisingvessel because the early collonists used it for that surprise
Thank you!!
I can subscribe that!
Aw I love the tiny blue bottle. Do you have to fill the holes in before you leave or can you just leave them and continue on your next dig?
We make them safe 👍🏻
I would love to go on a dump dig with you guys
Find us a dump and we will join you!
@@Sifinds unfortunately on our Island of Kauai doesn’t have a scavenger dump for old bottles etc. I like watching your mudlarking on the Hovercrafts
i still use Ed Pinaud . it is till no the market.
Your robins are so small. Here in Canada they are twice that size. Lol
Love love love this channel🌾
Thanks Paula x
@@Sifinds x
Love these videos!
Cheers matey 👍🏻🐾🧡
one minute ago? ohhhhhh boy! I thought you said fossil digging but I guess bottles are fine too lol
Fossils are ok, but bottles and bits have a cooler story 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds easier to find theirs for sure haha. At least Nic had some fossils for me today though, so best of both worlds lol
Great video. Not sure about the whet stone shape. Someone had alot of axes to grind. Stay safe.
100 years ago if you told the people alive that 100 years in the future people will be digging through their trash fascinated by it all they’d have thought you were crazy.
Haha I make you right! 😂
Then try to get their heads around how people all over the world are able to watch Si and Tim digging it up.
Irate, I was thinking exactly the same thing!! What will be the fascination 100 years from now? Maybe CD's? Floppy discs? Soda cans?
Your cut glass piece was almost certainly part of a dressing table set.
It’s a salt cellar 👍🏻
I have a number of cut glass and pressed glass salt cellars and I would have thought it was too large for this, however, mustard pots were a regular feature so it could have been one of these but I still think it's part of a dressing table set. These were de rigueur and usually consisted of a glass tray, couple of candlestick holders,, a scent-bottle with a rubber spray bulb covered in embroidered silk, a bowl with a lid for powder and a small pin tray or dish like yours. Whether yours is or isn't a salt dish it was a nice piece to find.
Really enjoyed as always. The blue marking ink is stunning. No Kev joining you both this time? Stay safe mudlover 👍
The object Tim threw to you was a salt cellar, my grandad always had one exactly the same on his dinner table with a tiny glass spoon in it.
Cobalt blue glass is my favourite colour, I have a huge (over 2ft) cobalt blue bud vase in perfect condition that I found in the rubbish, my guess is it is Victorian and worth a couple of bob.
Nice one Chris!
Yep. My gran used to keep two on the table. Salt and pepper.
Hi Si, have you ever tried turning the handle of a spoon or a fork into a ring or a pendent? I liked the beginning find at start of video.
Hi Cindy. Not yet
@@Sifinds Time to try Si. Would consider purchasing one of a kind jewelry.
What do you do with the shards of pottery you find?
Keep some, leave the rest
I WOULD BUY A PIPE OR 2 IF YOU SOLD THEM..
Lol I was going to ask you why you are not digging down deeper into the dump and then I seen all the water
Hi Si!! Great video at the bottle dump! So much better than plastic!!! Wish you would wear gloves more!! Cooties!!! Love all your work!!!! Tinker White
I take the gloves off to film, I can’t operate the camera with gloves on. As seen when I find the tiny blue bottle
@@Sifinds okay then!! Just didn’t want you to get some kind of creeping crud!!! I came across some tiny brushes in a thrift shop and thought of you looking for some.The package said they were to be used to clean out musical instruments.. it’s a long rubbery tube with a brush at each end.....If you can’t find them over there, you can have mine!
@@MsHopper6 thank you for the kind offer. I found the exact brushes I was after so we are all good thank you!
@@Sifinds cool!!
Does Tim have a Etsy shop or website?
imagine how upset the garbage man was when he couldn't find his pipe...
Well they were very cheap, so didn’t give a toss 😉
That square glass item is a Salt...
Cellar
@@Sifinds I'm old enough to remember using one. Salt came in blocks and my gran, who was born in 1889, would scrape some off with a knife and put it in the salt. I remember helping her. We never called it a salt cellar because they had lids and you couldn't get block salt to pour through the holes. You took a little bit of salt on the end of your knife, put the salt on the edge of your plate and then dabbed the food on your fork into the salt.
@@dianerayburn1728 How sweet. Thanks for sharing
I would luv to find an old clay pipe or some clay marbles for real
They are there waiting for you
The orange breasted bird at the beginning.. can you tell me what it is? I dont believe we have those in the states!
A Robin
@@Sifinds much diff than the American Robin :). Thank you!!
Bar of soap holder
Master salt and window weight?
Cheers Robin. Scythe sharpener
hi how come you don't domuch digging si.your friend does it i what happens to the bottles Do you share them
I dig plenty love, but I also do all the filming. Sometimes we swap
15:27 Si...one of thoes days you are going to pull out a bottle and put it up to your mouth and get a mouthful of yuk lol
wasnt it great back when advertising was actually telling about the product (if puffed up) instead of bizarro things that have nothing to do with the product or even worse, political messages? yeah im old enough to remember such things.
Agreed
Top,, comme d habitude...🔬💪🎬💪🎧💪😂💪😉🍻🤘🚀🌌 Alex Somme Amiens👑 god save the Mudlarking 🏰and Mudlovers🐗
❤🖤💙

All these pipes that you guys find? Are they for smoking legal stuff or are they for smoking hash or something? Or something maybe opium.
They smoked Opium too, but tobacco was the main attraction
The crystal/glass box-like item is a master salt =) Thanks for another great video.
Thanks matey 👍🏻🐾🧡
16:43 - 16:56 looks like a Soap Dish / Bowel / Soap Holder. Great video 👍 Nice finds - especially the fully complete condition clay pipe . Ink well awesome to.
That robin is completely different from the ones here in Canada 🇨🇦
Pinaud is still selling hair tonics and powders today ... one of those smells that triggers a distant memory - it is the overly sweet scent my generation associates with coming freshly from the barber shop as boys when they used to finish you off with a quantity of Pinauds tonic in the hair and a dusting of their powder on your neck.
Haha. Very cool
Pinard!
Sundays are not complete without watching Si-Finds and friends, bringing us history in a bottle. Bought the book, looking forward to its arrival.
Nice one Tanna 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love the bottle digging most♡ What a lovely clay pipe♥
Thanks Hanneke 👍🏻🐾🧡
Everything you found after it was cleaned was unique and beautiful but my favorite is the slag glass. Will you use it in any way in your crafting?
Hi Si, that's a smart lil Robin that equates man digging = worms and bugs.
Kit and Caboodles do amazing crafting rebuilding ketch items and dolls from parts and findings.
A bit like a bear paw clam shell, could be wrong.
Some great finds, I heard the robin urging you to dig quicker and find worms for him lol.
Wherever I go bottle digging, a robin always joins me for worms. They are so clever and tame.
Haha right!?
That little blue bottle is the sweetest thing! 💙 love the cross stopper as well!
Congratulations on the intact pipe, Simon, as well as the tiny cobalt fabric ink bottle. I love everything you guys dig up or find. The little clips of the robin were very nice, too. Looking at Nature is never a mistake. :) This time I can also say that huge lump of green slag glass is delicious. It's like a long lost piece of The Emerald City, from The Wizard of Oz. LOL Last but not least, it was great seeing you & Nicola mudlarking with Kit and Caboodlers. Collaborations are always fun. :D See you next time. Take care, & stay safe.
Thanks so much! 👍🏻🐾🧡
One day Simon will get a mouthful of mud pretending to gulp from a find lol 😆 great little dump 👍🏼
Did anybody win the book yet from last week
Before watching this vid I need to thank you and Nicola.
I saw them dredging old abandoned canal locally. I recognised a bit of 20's marmalade jar.
I went back next day for my first bottle hunt , someone had been there first.....
, but I got a complete Codd bottle circa1900( from a town 20 miles away ),a huge preserves jar, various small turn of the 19th century bottles, and a nice green bottle marked with the name of a defunct wine merchants from the nearest market town.probably about the same age.and a little bell shaped shear lipped ink.all within about 15mins (after that I cut myself and had to go home .Tetanus up to date so no ill effects)
thanks to you both( and all the hovercraft history hunters) for the inspiration
Nice one Anthony! Where was my invite? I’ll forgive you if you live outside the uk 🇬🇧 😂
Another awesome video and amazing finds too. Thank you for sharing your mud lark and treasures. Stay safe and well 👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺
Cheers Chris!!
The meat must have been just terrible to have so many sauce brands!!
The pipe with knobbles on it was great! And the tiny bottles! ❤️
It's good to see you again, mate. Have a great day. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘
Cheers Cath!!
Hi Si, Hi Tim, love the bottle dump digging. Tim, I love the cross bottle stopper. Maybe it came from a bottle that held Holy Water. Si, love the laundry marker blue bottle. Si, the complete pipe was very cool. The history stories are always interesting to hear as well. Thank you, Joyce. 🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱. ❤️.
Thanks so much Joyce!!
I always enjoy the episodes that include the two of you. You give so much info and you really found great stuff today! I love the little blue glass bottle. It would make a fabulous pendant for a necklace!
Thanks so much 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great video Simon. Love the little blue bottle, oh and the pipe. The south western railway fragment was cool, I came across a ‘Great western railway’ button a few days ago. See you on your next adventure.
Cheers Adam, yes I’m yet to watch that video of yours. It’s been a busy week - it’s on my list. You can have the sherd if you like???
@@Sifinds That would be amazing!
Wow great finds!!! 😮😮😊😊
Thanks for the fascinating history of the E. Pinauld perfume bottle! We an only imagine the life of the lady who wore the intoxicating fragrance contained in that little bottle!
Indeed 👍🏻🐾🧡
I was a little stunned to hear that Queen Victoria visited France in 1955...
@@TheLdoggett 1855 👍🏻
Camo Bros! You 2 need your own intro , always enjoy watching you guys dig bottles ❤️why isn’t there a shovel emoji!? Also nice to see you on Kit & Caboodlers !
Cheers Marie. Yes I’m a busy boy! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Tim's shell is one half of a giant clam. Good find, it would make a nice bar soap holder. You guys did make some nice finds, hope you eventually find the other half of the tooth paste lid. Keep on digging 😀
Cheers Karen! We certainly will
No hand grenades this time ? boring 😉😉 , just kidding but it was bit fun watching those cops wallowing in the mud
Haha, I would love to find one every week, trust me 😂
The slag glass was my favorite find. It has amazing colours. Congratulations to Chelyl.
It does. It cleaned up wonderfully
Pinaud makes aftershave
