Thanks for watching Mudlovers. To see me and Nic on another Mudventure th-cam.com/video/t0aEIiO61IY/w-d-xo.html 👍🏻🐾🧡
You can get send ur lighter off to TH-camr Tysy Tube restoration. He repairs things like that all the time.
At #2:51 you missed the other bottle opener behind it lol wish I was there noooo 😂
@@michelleg9194 why would I when I can do it myself?🧡
Very Cool Steampunk clock you artfully made with mudlarked pieces and parts, Simon. You always surprise and amaze me with your upcycling. ( :
That was superb si one of those videos you dont want to stop watching
Si deserves his own tv programme. Great personality. Historic items explained with knowledge and humour. Crackin stuff!!
Thanks so much Jerry👍🏻🐾🧡
He's got great personality and sense of humour.
agreed
Si is amazing. So smart an entertaining and loves to share history with us.
Cheers Pat👍🏻🐾🧡
Great video. What a fantastic time we had. Love the upcycle! So talented you are!
Aw thanks so much Nic!! Can’t wait for the reunion 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds me too!!
You are an admirable artist too.
Nice first find, the brooch. That vintage opener is great. Lovely little 3pence coin. I love those old keys. That second ‘pendant’ is actually a piece of a Rosary. Pretty green marble. The upcycle was awesome.
Cheers Coni👍🏻🐾🧡
At 9:30 , that looks like the middle piece of a rosary, not a pendant. The 2 loops are on top, the single loop on the botton.
agree that is a rosery centerpiece
You’re on fire thanks
The wood/lead thing looks similar to a lace bobbin. They are used to hand weave lace by hand or maybe that was for fixing lace in a factory. Cool finds.
Good shout👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds As a lacemaker myself, I very much doubt that that could be a lace bobbin. Sorry.
Could it be for a spindle
I thought it was the top of an umbrella/ parasol
Sundays with Simon ❤ I love the larks with Nicola and when you share other channels too.
Wow..this upcycle is amazing!!
Cheers Lily 👍🏻🐾🧡
Always love the collaborations with Nicola. You two have foreshore mud in your veins. Much respect.
Cheers Doug👍🏻🐾🧡
I really enjoy when you have Nicola along she’s so lovely! 🤍
King and queen together again👍good stuff hope you guys have a blessed week
Cheers my friend👍🏻🐾🧡
I can't even slightly disagree, that lampbox clock is the best bit of upcycling I can recall you ever showing us. I honestly can't even think of a better example, from this or any other channel, of someone taking a piece of crud covered and rusted holey junk and transforming it into a truly unique and beautiful item that I'd be happy to own. If I wasn't so skint I'd be having that!
Oh, and the rest of the video was a fun watch too...
Thanks so much dude👍🏻🐾🧡
A dirty weekend away with Nicola 😊
No need 🤔
Ohhh my god, that was a great video. Mudlarking, crafting and even a CAT! That was so wholesome. Love it!
wow, LOVE the syteampunk upcycle! You have a fantastic creative approach to presenting your finds. Random thoughts: I really enjoy the way you add/edit-in the cleaned up items after you find them (rather than tacking them all at the end). Also, I really enjoyed this DIFFERENT view of the foreshore. Also, I really enjoy it when you add the cat(s) at the end of your videos. Also, I am aways amazed at the very tiny interesting things you find!
Thanks so much👍🏻🐾🧡
Love, love, love your upcycle of the clock!!! ♥️ Your finds are amazing pieces of History. Great day out with Nicola. 😎
Cheers Sis! 👍🏻🐾🧡
just brilliant
I love assemblage art and the fact that everything was found by you is amazing. Great history and great new look!
WHAT a fantastic upgrade on that old lamp!! LOVE the clock!
Cheers Jacki 👍🏻🐾🧡
Love a bit of steampunk, great clock 😁
Oh Simon this is the best one you have built yet. So crafty to see and think how things will look. I love it. I don't have any extra money to bid on it but i loved watching you make it all the same. Now i loved the half of a table you did for outside too. But this is so darn cute. I'm glad you two had a great time with your friend .
Cheers Shelley! What a transformation Eh?
I believe the pendant you found at around 9:27 to have been part of a catholic rosary. The three eyelets in the pendant would allow for the beads attached. This was a fun adventure and so good to see Nikola joining you. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Love this steam-punky upcycle! I can't help but wonder what the original purpose of the item was, and who last held it in their hands before it went into the river. Thanks as always for your consistently excellent content, Simon. Cheers from NE Florida!
Cheers Brenda. It was a torch / flash light
Goodmorning Si and Nicola. Love to watch your videos. The piece of pottery at 7.00 is from a dutch company. Lucas Bols, Het lootsje. And there sure wasn`t water in it:) . This company was famous for it`s jenever, or gin as you say. Cheers from the Netherlands
Right away when I see "secret location" I start looking for clues in the video. What a wonderful place to medlark. So interesting how you found a lot of jewelry pieces, not only do you have a good eye for them but how could there be so many? It really is a secret place!!
Yes and I’m not gonna tell 😉
Hi Si, I had a lighter exactly that model given to me in 1969, then I gave up smoking in 1971 and never smoked again. I loved the silver three penny bits when young in the 40s but even then they were disappearing. The rusty lamp now clock was great. I think it looked a bit like the sort of torch that policemen wore on their belts, right shape but I could not see the bit on the back to slot it on the belt. And I must be very archaic because I used Airwick fresheners when a young married.
Lol cheers Julie👍🏻🐾🧡
Hey Si, just an idea, ever thought of doing a little live Q&A on ere? I'm sure your fans and followers have loads of questions about your adventures and mudlarking they'd love to ask you! Maybe set it up in your gorgeous garden (although there is the risk of being upstaged by the cats and chickens!)🤣 Great finds btw. I adored the art deco bottle and you've outdone yourself with the upcycle! 👍
Si, you are the Mr Roger's of the Thames. The program is always fun, informal, creative, educational and, above all, soothing! Even the music is reminiscent of Mr R.!
I don’t know who that is… but I’ll take it as a compliment 👍🏻🐾🧡
It is a great compliment. Mr Rogers was the host of a childrens program for decades here in the US. He was definitely a force for good in the world. It was called Mr Roger’s Neighborhood.
@@melodiek5282 ah cool. Roger that
@@Sifinds OMG! MR ROGERS! He is the milk on our cereal, the ray of sunshine in the am!
"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...won't you be my neighbor?" Started his 5o+ years on a daily children's program filmed in New York. Tom Hanks portrayed him in a movie recently. He passed before covid hit. I miss him.
We Do Miss those bad kitties! ;) Interesting new Mudlark destination- Thanks for taking us with you.
Cheers CD👍🏻🐾🧡
What a nice surprise it was to see Nicola there!! You found some really great items. Good for you!!
I’m watching your old episodes so I see all your treasures. Onto the next video!!💃🏼💃🏼
Enjoy!!
My 2 favorite Mudlarkers. Great finds!
Cheers Misty👍🏻🐾🧡
The clock looks amazing. My first thought was what a great little USB speaker it would make but I suppose you would have to pair it with another one for that to work.
A new subscriber and now fascinated by this hobby that unearths such treasure and history.
Fantastic up-cycle. You are truly talented. Love the videos. And thank you again for the awesome gold link necklace. Everyone that sees it loves the story behind it. 😊❤❤
Great video love the up cycled clock you made. I make clocks to out of some pretty weird stuff, shoulder blade of a old dead cow, won grand champion in the fair on it. Old wooden toilet seat, old records old dishes, and so much other things. Keep the videos coming love them.
Haha. That is crazy, I love it
I’m a big fan of Mud Bagger! Good to see you guys together! 😊
Only you Si can take a rusty old box and some mudlarking finds and make an adorable PC of art! Well worth all that work well done!
Thanks so much Linda👍🏻🐾🧡
Its sad watching you both walk away from ceramic and stoneware bottles and pot. We don't have such things in South Africa and would love to have some. Those that are selling on Etsy when you can find them,are expensive with our exchange rate. Please make some of us happy by picking them up and making use of them again.
The shard you found at 7:06 is from a keramic bottle of Lucas Bols, Jenever distiller in Amsterdam. He started distilling when glass was still a luxury item and so those stone bottles "kruik" was the way to bottle his product. Actually still does. Bols is a big brand now exporting all over the world! In Russia Bols vodka is known to be quality.
Nice one Si you and Nicola make a great team😮😮😮
Cheers Peter👍🏻🐾🧡
I remember my father having that lighter. 1930's light fitting??? Ring is lovely. Ditto blue and white germanware. What a location! Wowzers!!!!! Wowzers!!!
Lol cheers Terrie👍🏻🐾🧡
It's such a cool upcycle, OMG . A GRAND Salute to you, Simon . Really enjoyed the whole video. Love the cust iron Coca-Cola bottle opener 👌. Enjoy your work 👍
With love from SAM
Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥️
Cheers Sam. Keep on running brother👍🏻🐾🧡
The little peces with 3 loops is a piece of a rosary.
That ring is gorgeous!!
Ah thanks Esther👍🏻🐾🧡
that blue milk-glass marble is pretty sweet. Rod of Asclepius is another thought on the SI. it is used widely around the world as medical org symbol
Cheers Martha! Good shout 👍🏻🐾🧡
Wow! What a great piece of art! You are amazing! So skilled...a perfect steampunk clock!
And...of vourse it is SI !!.it might have been something else...earlier...🤪 but now it is yours!
Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪👍
It is amazing no matter where you are in the world the treasures keep coming, it seemed to be a day for jewellery, whether whole or a piece, wonderful upcycle and glad your friend made it in the end, look forward to the next vid
Cheers Kim! 👍🏻🐾🧡
What a fantastic mudlark and you 34:34 34:34 had some very great finds too! I think what you did with the the little light, turning it into an art piece clock was amazing! It is one of a kind for sure! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤️❤️
Hi Simon. Your pendant at 4:30 says Ricordo, remembrance or souvenir in Italian.
Ahhh thank you so much!!
Loved what you did with the clock, very creative. I though a velvet lining inside might make it really special.
I love the clock! The size and shape reminded me of a Sony Walkman, so as soon as you mentioned a clock, 'watchman' popped into my head.
Another gorgeous piece made for pieces of the past!
Cheers Paul 🕰️
The upcycle was amazing.
That one pendant was part of an old rosary. I'm Catholic and it looked quite familar. I don't know if you know any Catholics. That was part of a blessed object. It should be buried if its beyond repair.
Love the Simon shirt. I had one of those in the 1980s. 👍😎
Another brilliant installment. The little religious pendant that you thought might be an earring is the central piece of a rosary. So the figure is likely Mary. The beads would run to the two holes at the top and a line of beads and crucifix hanging from the bottom loop. Some nice religious finds there.
Hi Si, that pendant that you found I do not think that's Mary, I think it is St Rita of Cascia and the other item that you thought that was a pendant it is a part of a rosary beads . Thank you for sharing your interesting videos , love watching them❤
What a cool up cycle. One of a kind❤ Always a treat to see one of your upcycles.
Cheers Lynne👍🏻🐾🧡
Hi Si, Nicola, headed for another adventure I see. A secret location 😮. Very cool. Si, that piece of “jewelry” at time 9:08, I’m almost certain is the first medal on Rosary beads. One set of links hangs from the bottom hole with beads on it.The other two holes connect to beaded necklace. I believe the face you see is the face of Virgin Mary”the ghostly face “. I’m Catholic, I don’t know if you know what a Rosary is. Look it up you’ll see. That’s old because of the wire held the beads. It is definitely a blessed object. Very cool. Loved the up cycle. Look forward to seeing Nicola’s video. Cheers. Joyce❤️🙏🇺🇸
Old lamp to a clock ingenious!!! So admire your appreciation of every type of history!!
Cheers Ali👍🏻🐾🧡
Simon first off i would like to welcome the new King and Queen, the coronation was absolutely stunning and i hope you were able to enjoy it by being there as much as i did watching it on the telly. It's always wonderful to see you and Nicola on the Thames hunting for treasure. You are both my favorite mudlovers, and it's always a pleasure watching the both of your videos. Thats a lovely white clay mold. Art found, and i will be adding him to my videos. Until next time, take care my friend
Your friend from Oregon USA 🇺🇸
Hi Si, the little Madonna charm you found reads ‘Riccordo’ on the back….its Italian, and translates to ‘I remember’ meaning the buyer probably bought it at a church or a religious place while on holiday as a fond memory keepsake…
Cheers Michael 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds 😄It’s Aurora….
@@MichaelsAurora lovely name, I love the Norwegian singer by the same name
Each time I think the upcycle can't get any better you outdo yourself.. Wow!! Love that clock.. 😍 Thanks Si!
Thanks so much Petri 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love what you've done with the lamp, Si. It looks fantastic and I love the Steam punk theme.
Cheers.
Hello 👋 from New York USA you Found Some Amazing Finds Thank you for Bringing me Along with you I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊
Great finds!! Absolutely fantastic clock!! You are so creative!!🤩🤩
💕😺😺😺🐈⬛
Cheers Jackie!
Hiya, Mon from Australia. You are bloody amazing Si, that old lamp that looked like it would crumble to bits, is now a gorgeous one off clock. Probably last another 50yrs. Up cycling to the max. Love it. Cheers and happy mudlarking ✌💕😊
Wonderful steampunk upcycle. I agree, it's one of your best ever!
Cheers Lois👍🏻🐾🧡
By far my favorite upcycle I've seen you do brother! I think you've inspired me to upcycle some of my metal detecting finds.
Cheers dude!! Yeah do it!!
Hey Si, welcome back!😂 What great finds today. I love your little clock. So artistic. Good one! Keep up the good work.🍻
Cheers Lynne! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Lots of nice finds and a wonderful upcycle, thanks SI!
Cheers Debbie👍🏻🐾🧡
Hiya Si, Mon from Australia here. ABSOLUTELY LOVE the clock creation. Got ta love it when a plan comes together. Awesome job mate. 💛🧡💙🤎💜💚🖤✌😊💕
G’day Wombat. Cheers matey!
I love your channel and your easy shop. I love that you up cycle your finds. Brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤
Cheers Susan!👍🏻🐾🧡
I would have done the face different. I'd make the gears into a cloud formation and have the art deco-looking building come out of the clouds like a city in the sky. I love what you did, nicely done
Fantastic upcycle Simon Love it plus all your other finds and the mudbagger been watching him since he started wow this was a very good video
Oh wow! I absolutely love your upcycle. Clever you. ❤
Thanks so much👍🏻🐾🧡
Your clock design is genius . Upcycle extraordinaire.
Cheers Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
Now you made mudlarking very interesting by creating such a beautiful sculptural clock. Good job.
Beautiful sunshine! The upcycle is cool, love the idea of the clock face is genius level thinking, lol. Thanks for taking us along!
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
The aluminium pendant with 3 holes is part of a rosary necklace and the ghostly figure is Mary Si
nice use of the bits and pieces. Thanks for taking us along.
My pleasure 👍🏻🐾🧡
That's a torch, my dad had one like that. It does come apart with a latch so you can change the battery. I'm 100% sure he's still got it.
Good memories :)
Cheers pal 👍🏻🐾🧡
Wonderful finds! I love the upcycle! Very steampunk! I have used JB weld not to just weld things together but it fills holes in metal as well, I have used Devcon metal patch & fill to fix a few old things in the past, it worked pretty good for me. Awesome video!
'Vade Mecum' Latin for Take Me with You' - some sort of médecine ? I think that knobbly wooden stick with brass at the ends is an oriental drawer pull. Very nice. I think the mud is anaerobic too, like the Thames, so not much deterioration. What a place - jam-packed full of things. The S for Simon is a military insignia, the two loops that hold it in the uniform are squashed flat.
Hey Si, I absolutely loved the upcycled clock! Well done! I hope the new owner is enjoying having it on display...
G'day from Australia 🦘🇦🇺
Cheers Elaine👍🏻🐾🧡
I was hoping that you would use 30:48 that part in the lens hole and backlight it with a nice green, aqua, or blue LED light. But as a desk clock, it is very cool.
I was super surprised to see a bottle of vademecum! We can still get similar bottles in stores here in Sweden today
That “poor man’s ring” you found, would be spectacular if it were cast in silver. All the lovely putting and texture would come up a treat.
At 7 min it,s a piece of a old gin bottle from Bols Amsterdam,Bols is stil making gin and other liqueurs, Rembrandt van rijn used te live on the oppesite of the Bols stil and traded some of his paintings for liqueur, the paintings are stil there,now owned bij Heineken and the stil is a museum now!
Zdravím z České republiky 🙏 Vaše příspěvky jsou super! Líbila se mi přeměna staré svítilny na hodiny, staré co ještě bude sloužit! 😍😍😍😍
Great fun to watch, wish I were there but in USA. You found the center medal for a rosary -- medal with a bit of chain and three links,; and that brown marble which you called glass might have been a German Bennington -- imported here mid 19th century to WWI -- a glazed pottery marble. The browns are most common, then blues, and you can identify Bennington by the bumps like moon craters left where marbles touched one another in the kiln. Pinks are valuable here, green can be too. Liked the ring you found and the wonderful piece you created. (Was that a transistor radio once? It's the shape of ones we had in the 1960s and early 70s. Alas I'm that old, bit creaky for mudlarking.) Happy hunting!
Hi Simon, i love London there's so much history and i love your videos lots of fascinating finds and amazing upcycling.
Si, great upcycle🥰 The SI bit looks to me like a dollar sign💰. And my guess is, that it was part of a money clip.
That clock ⏰ you made is awesome 👌 you got a real talent m8, it's amazing that where there's muck there's brass. I can't believe all but the watch face was salvage scrape bits of clocks cogs etc, brilliant 👏
Happy Sunday muddies ❤
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
Correct - best up cycle ever!
Aw thanks JoEllen👍🏻🐾🧡
great find guys.
Cheers John 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great day! Loved the whole vid, and especially the upcycle clock. You do rock, man!
Cheers Nevi👍🏻🐾🧡
The wood/brass thing could be some type of valve that goes into tubing, a stopper, or maybe a handle for a high mounted toilet tank?
Loved your wonderful video you always find such beautiful treasures. Love the steampunk clock repurposed, stunning piece. Have a great week Simon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
9.38 looked like a rosary fitting
Simon you have great imagination. Love your workmanship. Huge congrats..
Cheers Marie👍🏻🐾🧡
That s is a dollar symbol don’t know what it purpose was but think am right I sure does look like it 😊 love the clock ❤
Interesting stuff!
First medal was either Our Lady of Lasalette or St Clare, and the other three hole med was a Rosary medal with an image of Mary.
The wooden stick is a pencil from victorian age ( its a guess), Si, you are so creative, most of us would never be able to look at a piece of metal, round it, cut it, bend it and use it for a corner of a beautiful clock creation.
Thanks so much!👍🏻🐾🧡
Wow, that old bicycle light turned out beautiful!
Interesting, love the clock, yes it would be great for your own Tv programme ,😊
