Thanks for watching. To see us get the mega haul ⭐️CLICK HERE ⭐️th-cam.com/video/oKaUMg7Mc-o/w-d-xo.html 👍🏻🐾🧡
Islands are often presented as amazing microcosms of nature. I think that the Channel Islands offer a microcosm of history. So fascinating!
Well said!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
@Sifinds Did you do any mud larking in Guernsey?
I'm planning on going to an East Coast beach on Saturday, you've inspired me to get out there and see what I can find. I'm worried that the rough sea will destroy artefacts but you never know.
My sister found the stem of a clay pipe on that beach back in March.
Awesome finds! I LOVED the history too. Aww. Nelly looks so much like my Ollie. Adorable. Bless ❤ Thank you so much!! xx Teresa ❤🇦🇺
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
You really outdid yourself with these two Channel Islands adventures, Si! Brilliant editing and video work along with some fantastic finds. You should be justly proud of yourself, my man!
Thanks so much Steve! Appreciate that my friend 👍🏻🐾🧡
Love the history bytes that you mudlarks include in your adventures...so interesting and informative! Keep these fantastic videos coming! Great friends having a wonderful day, finding lost treasures! Who could ask for anything more? Nellie! The star of the show! Lovely ring.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Absolutely amazing SI, enjoy your week, I think your ring was awesome first try.😊🇨🇦🍁🐘👣
Cheers Marion! All made from upcycled material 👍🏻🐾🧡
Was good to see the gang all together, and it's always a treat to see Chill Bill! What a beautiful place and chance to have an adventure into history!
So awesome, Si! One of your best episodes! Loved the scenery, history, finds & your silversmith skills! As usual, a lovely bunch of chums, too! 💙
Aw thanks so much Cindy 👍🏻🐾🧡
Amazing cornwall cap badge Jim. Great 1700's coin Si. Nice buckles. Beautiful cap badge Nicola. Love the cat SI. I have 3 black cats.
Forget the finds. THREE black cushions! I mean cats! 😂. Lucky you 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
This video is incredibly fascinating, I am so tired but I couldn’t stop watching.
Everyone’s finds are so interesting the history of the island is important to remember.
It is sad that even a small part of the building couldn’t be restored for a museum. The rest built into accommodation.
It’s so important to hang onto our history .
Thanks Julie! I agree, it’s such a waste
Great video Si’. Thanks from the US for the history lesson on this 4th of July Holiday Weekend. Reminds me of my dad who served with the US army towards the end of WWII and who would have loved your videos for sure. I’m still waiting for announcement that you and Nicola have made it official!
Cheers Anna. Glad your Dad would’ve enjoyed the vids too. We are just good friends 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love watching the three amigos together- it’s like a better version of “The Detectorists”! Lol!
Beautiful place! If I had the $$ I’d love to restore that Fort!!
Looks like y’all had a grand time and with good friends. Great upcycle Si and lovely coins and tokens. Thanks for 2 part video and taking us a long with you. You’re quite the silversmith !!!! 🌟
I just watched another video yesterday about the concrete structures from the war that are left on that island! Sooo cool that you get to metal detect there!!!
Cheers Corbin. Yes we were lucky to get invited, it was a long overdue trip 👍🏻🐾🧡
Really enjoyed these last two videos. Nice finds and the scenery was beautiful. The possible field eye glass was a super find. Your crafted ring will make a great memento from your trip. Have a great week and please keep safe! ❤️🇨🇦
Cheers Diann! Many thanks sweetie 👍🏻🐾🧡
Thanks Si, great video. Wonderful finds and epic upcycled silver ring!
Thanks Debs!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I think you were right about cutting back the edges of the ring. Also if you cut around the scrollwork it would fit better at your knuckle. Soldering the hoop closed would keep it from pinching.
True, I need a lesson in soldering I think. I didn’t want to push my luck 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds Good point. It's still a great piece, just as you made it!
Si, you missed your calling as a documentarian. You’ve completely outdone yourself in this one. Just fascinating
Thanks so much! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Looks like a great break away to do some historic searching. Great ring and Nellie always a helper
Cheers Alex. I had to get the Nellie seal of approval! 🐈⬛
A very successful day for everyone. Some great finds
Cheers Annette!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
What an absolute sin for the fort to have been neglected over the years. As you said Si - it would be an amazing site for a hotel with beautiful views. Such a shame .
I agree. If I win The Lotto I’m gonna ‘do it up’!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I think it could be a school or a hands on history place, something like that .
Toujours un véritable moment de détente🎬🔬Bravo 🍀😉Alex France🍷🌹
Thanks so much 👍🏻🐾🧡
Your storytelling skills grow and grow! This is a mini-masterpiece.
Aw thanks so much Lisa! That means a lot 👍🏻🐾🧡
Too many treasures to count but the views were spectacular. Thanks for the breath of fresh air.
Cheers Sandy! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The cows are doing a fine job. Great finds!
Haha! 🐮
Love the ring and also love that you show your stuff ups along the way. It encourages people to have a go and that mistakes are OK. I look forward to your videos for my escape time. Thank you.
Cheers Helen! Yes it was a tough upcycle and I hope it encourages people to give something a try, even if you mess up - keep trying 👍🏻🐾🧡
This was an absolute masterpiece Si! Beautifully put together, it must have taken you ages! ❤️
Cheers Beth! Thanks for noticing, yeah takes an age. Late nights and lots of coffee! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great finds, Si!
Cheers Dave! We had a blast! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Such a great video and what a beautiful place y'all were. Much love from Louisiana ❤️❤️
Cheers MM 👍🏻🐾🧡

Cheers Adamski
I was cheering you on as you soldered..loved it! Hahaha!! Nice video too, enjoyed the history lessons!😊👍
Thanks so much Petri! I got there in the end! 💍
Amazing adventure. The range of finds & ages blew me away. Loved the Fort tour & the Naval history reel. Loved the ring upcycle with Nelson & the chicks!
Great video Si. Went to Alderney as a teenager in the 60's. Loved it.
LOVE the ring, Si, I think it's a real beauty. This was a fab video, thanks😻
Fantastic finds and video Si. All those war time buildings are very interesting. 🌻🐕🇺🇸
Wonderful finds! Love the history lessons and omg, the building!!!! It's so awesome!!!! Thanks Si! ❤
I totally agree with all the others I’ve read! Well done, Si! I’d love to be able to come along, but watching you and the gang will do! Keep it up, son!
Looks like many of us enjoyed you three together again. You must do it more often. Fab video. Once again adorable Nelson. 🐱
Really amazing finds today. This was a beautiful day and so much history was dug up. Cool ring!
Thanks Jo! We had a blast! 👍🏻🐾🧡
What a beautiful spot! Glad you all found some neat stuff too! Thanks for taking us along!!
great vid .looks like the weather was very kind
Cheers Robin! It was a beautiful weekend!
I love the ring, but my infrequent OCD kicked in and I really couldn't handle the different sizes in the back! 🤣 Your dig was fasanating and I love the history behind the pieces of treasures you found. It must be wonderful to live near to there and be able to detect whenever you could! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
Cheers Mary 👍🏻🐾🧡
It is so interesting to see all the treasure and historical artifacts you found. Seeing the inside of the fort was awesome and the best was your ring creation. You should pursue more of that! It is lovely!
Fantastic and informative video! And what a beautiful island! I'm a little surprised that there wasn't any coinage found from the Nazi occupation, but quite a variety of finds. Shout out to Clem for being a walking encyclopedia of historical knowledge. I could listen to him for hours.
Very nice finds and the ring you made is beautiful. 👍😊💜
Aw thanks Susan 👍🏻🐾🧡
Lots of interesting finds out there. The ring is a very clever upcycle. Hello Nellie!
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
Love to watch your channel,I'm watching from Seattle, Washington State USA, up here by Alaska you should come here someday its so beautiful !!! I'm 74years old now and disabled, but when I watch I'm there with you !! Thanks for the escape !!!! I love your artwork, you are so talented, your channel is so interesting, !!!! Love to all, Cathy from Seattle .......
Thanks so much! Tell ya friends! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great adventure! I LOVE the ring and how it is rustic!
Awesome video Si, love your ring it looks great. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍👏❤️
A great triple header of wonderful mudlarkers metal detecting in a field! 💖I've got to hand it to you, Simon, you always share great history, edit great video and reply to the comments. I'm glad to see your channel doing so well! Have you tried detecting the walls of that fireplace incase something was sealed inside? Or any other walls? You should start a tourism restoration company to save the old fort. People could pay to have the opportunity to help restore it while learning old construction techniques.😃👍
yes, it could be part and part to develop it - part pay and part subsidy - not a complete P3
@@sianwarwick633 Maybe someday.😊
oh that bend lion isnt bend i think it is part of the metall decoration of a antique french table or writing desk they loved to add pieces like that bended around the legs its a lovely application
Bend by name… 😉 good shout matey
Once again a great video. A beautiful area so full of history. And friends to share. Loved the ring. So talented and exciting ideas. Thank You so much
Aw cheers Helen 👍🏻🐾🧡
Huge field. Nice old button. Awesome film on sinking of the Bismarck. Thanks for the partial tour of the fort, interesting. Sad to see a part of history falling apart. Great upcycle.
Hi Si. Yet another fantastic video. I did have the good fortune to visit Alderney are 15 years back and what a beautiful and peaceful place. The one thing that surprised me was how many cars there were for such a small place. Lol
Cheers Mark! Yes the lazy guys should be made to walk 😂
Be careful! they won’t let you back lol. But it is a truly amazing place I was there working on the Hotel down at the beach, I have always said I would love to return but I have not got back there yet.
Loved this video. Your ring is awesome, thanks Si.
The ring turned out very well, Si! I love that old fort, wouldn't it be amazing restored? Everyone had awesome finds, I love the war artifacts!💖
Cheers Cynthia!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hello, nice video, thanks ! Just a thing, the 5 centimes coin you found at around 23:50 is not a 1880's french Cérès coin but a 5 or 10 centimes Dupré from the late 1790's / early 1800's, just after the french revolution !
Thanks so much. So much to research, such little time 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great video. Love the history. Thank you for sharing it with us. The ring turned out awesome.
Great video Si! The history is fascinating and you had some wonderful finds. Nice job on the ring 😀💗 x
Hola amigos ,w que ue impresionante video esas monedas tan antiguas ,hermoso lugar con muchas reliquias de la guerra muy buena aventura y grandes hallazgos … grande Simon y compañeros .Bendiciones para ustedes y un gran abrazo desde Chile
Gracias Sylvia. I saw a Spaniard won the Grand Prix today 🇪🇸
Quien Simon?
@@sylviacortes3251 Carlos Sainz
Very well done Si. I appreciate all the hard work you put into these vids, they are informative and entertaining. Thanks
Great and interesting video. Loved Chill Bill's commentary. 👍😁
Si I would never want to leave that place and one bucket wouldn’t be enough omg the finds are amazing it looked liked so much fun and your up cycling are amazing ty once again for another great video I would love to see another video at that place again and again and againxxxxxxooooo
Great job Simon.
The ring really suits you Si! Say hi to Nelly 🐈⬛
Great first try on the silver ring. Love unusual jewelry.
Cheers Sherry! You’ll never find another one 😉
Some very awesome finds Si!
Awesome trip with awesome people and awesome finds so enjoyed this Wish I had been with you. Well one can 😴 dream enjoyed watching.
Hey,Simon!
That token that you found reminds me of something interesting from my country.
Coal miners were paid in tokens in West Virginia,I think they nicknamed it ‘scrip’.
This forced them to only be able to purchase in the overpriced company-owned stores.
Angered by this,and having their demands to be paid in proper cash,basically a small scale war happened.
As a show of solidarity,the miners wore a red bandana around their necks.
This is where the word ‘Redneck’ comes from!
It’s true!
the cornwall badge with a bugle is actually a shoulder title!😀👍🏻
Cheers mate. Lots to research, so little time 👍🏻🐾🧡
Maybe there’s your calling Si. You could start a fund to repair sections of the fort and get the well off prominent families to donate funds for either one wing, one section, one room refurbish. If they couldn’t afford to donate money maybe they could donate their craft and time. Then you could put their names on a group of brass shields mounted with a plaque in the center explaining the history. What ya think? Love the finds and love how you all gift each other fabulously personal items.
Very nice ring Si what a nice souvenir of your trip!
Always enjoy your larking adventures. This location was so lovely.
Enjoyed the video Si! Great coin finds from all over. Next time you want to solder one item on top of another, paint your flux on, set your solder on the flux, then set item number two on the solder pieces. Heat the item and when you see the top item drop down evenly it will be soldered. That way you won't have solder all over everything.
Great tip! Thanks Karen 👍🏻🐾🧡
Need to solder ring joint honey or it traps skin when gripping. Or round corners off for a thumb ring.x
Corners rounded 👍🏻
Gosh what a beautiful day you guys had. Some good finds too.
Great trip for you and Nicola 👍
Thank you for the great trip and the nice story’s 👣👣🧡
Cheers Essie. Appreciate that 👍🏻🐾🧡
Fabulous and wonderful video of you three !!! FYI Nicola is soo beautiful inside and out !
HELL YEAH BROTHER been waiting for this one
I always watch your vids and always enjoy a bit of a history lesson you give to items. I didn't know the story of Alderney and found it very interesting. Thanks Si!
This was a fantastic series, loved seeing Everyone involved. Just really loved all of it, well done 😊
My grandfather served on the HMS Rodney during the war.
No way!! Wow. I hope you enjoyed this episode. I dedicate it to him. What was his name?
@@Sifinds His name was Cliff Evans, but everyone called him Rodney. Growing up I always thought his real name was Rodney but my grandmother always called him Cliff and I thought it was weird and didn't know why until I was older. He always had a picture on his living room wall of HMS Rodney next to his and his brothers medals. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and brought back memories of my grandparents, I appreciate all the effort you put in your videos 👍🏻
Wonderfull days of Alderney
So interesting. I learn so much watching these videos. Sally in California
Love the history, the friends, the sights, and the creativity!. Your content is always tops and I so look forward to another installment each week. Thank you for it all, Simon.
Nice job,I can relate Si , I made a tuning fork ring once 😬🍻
Haha! Yes that rings a bell
20:52 I thought you guys were supposed to do a dance when you found gold, like on the tv show "The Detectorists".
wow, very cool coins, love the silver, it really did look like a whale!
regarding Clems statement on overcoat buttons..this is true on certain sites stateside..as an example,here in Florida ww1 tunic buttons are found in the old logging camps and towns..the tree cutters,mill workers,turpentine workers no doubt would wear their old military clothing at work..indeed other military equipment has been employed in civil use after its obsolescence..civil war artillery swords were useful on midwest farms in the corn harvest
Amazing. Thanks for sharing! Makes perfect sense! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great episode, really enjoyed it. Thank you!
Awesome video 📹 👏 👌 👍 with lots of lovely information on WW2 . I enjoyed my Sunday. Cool historic findings.
Hi 👋 to Nicole n the old boy Chill Bill.
Super 👌 Crafting, the ring looks great. I request you to first put the filler than blow the fire torch 🔦 🔥 , to fill or attach filler to the object while doing jewelry work ( as we are from the jewelry family 👪 😀 😉).
Really great video 📹 👍 👏 👌
With love from SAM
Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥ 🙏 🤝
Yes I will try filler next time. Thanks for the tip Sam! 👍🏻🐾🧡
What a glorious day! Out with good friends finding fantastic treasures… There were some fun and unusual finds and some truly beautiful pieces. So many great coins!
I enjoyed today’s video, focusing on the scenery, your surroundings, and the history as well as your own finds. It was so beautifully videoed and edited. Very professional and well done!
Loved your ring - and your first try! You should do another soon, now that you’ve got the hang of it, before you forget what you just taught yourself.
Cheers Lucinda! Yes, I just have to find some more old silver now!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds
Next time!!
Great video Si. Love the lion cap badge and the 1 Pistol coin. 🙂
Cheers Penny. Agree - great finds!
What a shame, you are right, How come they have not restored such an historic building? That would make a wonderful hotel .But I suppose it would take millions to put right .Lovely finds
brilliant ring!
