      If that cylindrical object you found is a dense carbon then it could be from a carbon arc lamp. Either a WWII searchlight or same era cinema projector. I have an unused one from a Westrex Vintage 35mm film projector I got from an old cinema projection box in London in the 70s. Slightly different shape towards the top but the same diameter.

      The beach meetup sounds really great, unfortunately it would be quite a trip from my home in Sugar Hill, Georgia, USA, so I'll just have to wait until you post it on your you tube channel. I used to have a cheap metal detector and had a lot of fun with it anyway but I loaned it to a neighbor who was trying to find something he lost and it was never returned. Is there any chance you might sell some of these after the meetup? I don't need anything fancy, just one that works. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Looking forward to many more. Lee

      My Great Grandfather was one of the first Tankers of WW1 he had medals but unfortunately they ' disappeared ' when my Nana passed away many years ago,my Uncle decided a lot of possessions were his 🤷‍♂️.
      My Grandfather was in the Airborne during WW2 and he actually threw his Medals into the Tyne in Newcastle after the War,the only Medal he kept was a Medal given to him by a German Officer he treated ( he was told not to treat the Nazi by some American Officer but Grandad treated him as a Human ).
      Grandad would only say one thing about WW2 and that was the Russians were worse than the Germans.
      My Dad was in the RAF.
      I served myself with the British Army.
      Grew up in Sawston near Duxford and as a collective village we always honoured all of the services and all of those who served and gave up their lives for the rest of the World.
      I have tried to instill in my children the same level of respect for the Military and those fallen comrades.
      Sadly it would seem many people don’t share in this regard anymore

    The mar 1800 is a stamp they used in making sheathing on warships or the copper sheathing in the magazine room. I found it on the corners of the sheathing on shipwrecks I dive. I have one here that read- war dept march 1794. They stamped every sheet on its corner to stop pilfering in the ship yard. Every project/ship that was worked on had its own dated stamp. Yours could be simply a test stamp.

    The 'pirate' coins are very interesting and always stand out because of the way they are made. I actually have found a 'Piece of Eight' which is a large silver coin made the same way. Very uneven thickness and chopped irregularly into something vaguely coin shaped and then stamped with a very random but complex design. Straight from the Colombian silver mines and shipped back to Europe in a galleon. I found it in a quiet valley in the back of beyond in rural Normandie, France. It is 50 miles south of the port of Le Havre and 40 south of Honfleur so speculate that is how it landed in France back in the 17th century. There is nthing that beats pirate treasure for stirring the imagination!

    The W Mar 1800 is a stamp for copper hull sheathing.
    W is for Woolwich and yes, Mar 1800 is the date.
    I found one on a piece of sheathing on my local beach, marked W Aug 1803. It's from HMS Severn, which wrecked here in 1804.
    There is a gent called John Bingeman who is an authority on copper sheathing who would want to know of your find.

    That 26:30 is very similar to the clasps used on overshoes or galoshes. It has been decades since I've seen a pair. The ones I have seen had about five rectangular holes but were also on men's overshoes. This may be from a lady's shoe. It could even be from a rubberized rain jacket which may have used this type of clasps. Ok, never mind, I see you found it!

    Carbon arc lights were used in movie projectors as well. Low tech very bright light, slightly different color temperature to xenon lights used more recently. The projectors had (or have, those that haven't been modernized for some reason) an auto feed mechanism to compensate for electrode erosion.

    Yes you should, I was at the Australian War Memorial doing a tour of one of their annexes (where they keep the stuff not on display at the main site) and talking with the guide, he said one of the most precious finds is the "ephemera" the everyday stuff that just got chucked away, bus tickets, ration book pages, confectionery wrappers or your burnt out searchlight terminal, these relics evoke the moment in time and personalise it and give it an immediacy that no statue, however beautiful, can achieve.

    Cov & Roth No.2 possibly the cap to a screw-down greaser. You'd fill the cap with grease, screw it back on the base portion and every now and then screw it on a little further. As it was wound downward the grease was displaced and pushed through a hole in the base section to lubricate a bearing, or similar. NO.2 refers to the size.

    21:38 that's the top part of a number 2 size grease cup from a steam engine or very early machinery plain bearings before grease nipples were invented, unfortunately yours is badly damaged. It is a hollow cup which you fill with grease, it is then screwed onto the fitting which is on the bearing that needs greasing, every so often you give the cup a turn or two turns or whatever is needed to force grease into the bearing, when the cup reaches the bottom of its thread you unscrew it, fill it with grease again and screw it back on to start the process over again, I have a vintage Saunderson model G tractor made in 1919 and it has these Rotherham's of Coventry no 2 grease cups on it. Great videos you make and very very interesting finds.

    Great compliation of Thames visits. I can't decide if the Elizabeth 1st coin or trade bead is my favourite find. Both on my Mudlarking bucket list. 😂 Being the bead hoarder that I am, the bead probably wins. I recognised what it was right off from the glass colours, opacity, and bead hole diameter. Either one of those, or a roman glass bead would be my ultimate finds. ❤
    And, as a writer, I accept your mudlarking phonetic alphabet challenge, but will have to send it to you later. May bug you on jnsty with it, if you really want?
