    Rupert (the Chihuahua) and I loved the extended film this week and the 'bobbly button'. You are the master of alliteration. We don't think it matters if you miss things sometimes. It's what you find that counts....and thank you for taking that bit of plastic/ bubble wrap home. Until next week my friend.

    Pretty simple to figure out if it's gold or Brass/Copper. Just measure out dimensions in cubic centimetres and the weight in grams to calculate the density in grams per cubic centimetre. Gold is 19.3 grams per cubic centimetre, copper/brass will be half that at around 9 grams per cubic centimetre.

    The knife you found is a lock knife with the blade missing. The metal visible on the one found is the unlocking mechanism which you press to enable the knife to be closed. Because of this, lock knives are not classed as folding knives and it is illegal to carry a lock knife in the UK.

    You sounded more Australian in this vid. I wondered if maybe you were tired, as accents are sometimes accentuated then? Great finds today. I actually liked that flat coat button that you seemed a little disappointed with. The quality of buttons then were considerably better than today. I’ve got to look for an update on this vid to see what that lump of metal turned out to be. Did they only make cod bottles in green? It would have been lovely if they had other colours too. Then the marbles would be really colourful. Thanks for sharing your finds.

    I’m from the U.S. and I don’t know anything about how the Thames was involved in wars. My mother-in-law lived in London during WWII. She talked a lot about the bombing of London. She lived there at that time. My father flew a B-17 bomber from England to Germany. They were a great source of WWII history. When I see the bullets and military buttons, I can’t help but wonder who they belonged to and why they are in the river. Hope the bar is gold!

    You could see how much water the gold colored bar displaces to work out the density. Gold is about twice as dense as brass it should seem surprisingly heavy for the volume, which is why I'm leaning toward brass or bronze.

      I went to a jewellers a few weeks ago and they think it’s probably brass 😢. They did say I should take it to Hatton Gardens to check though.

      @@TheAussieMudlark you can get a gold test kit online and test it yourself. One little drop of acid and if nothing bubbles or changes color it’s gold. Never trust a jeweler.

    I've watched a few of your videos, and love them. This may have been answered elsewhere, but your name is The Aussie Mudlark, so are there places in Australia to mudlark? and if so, have you? I love all the various mudlark videographers and their own personalities they add to the hunt.....

      Hi Carolyn. Thank you 😊. I only ‘became’ a mudlark a few years ago after watching you tube videos myself after I moved to London.

      The majority of our rivers in Australia aren't tidal like the Thames so if it's in the water then that's where it's staying unfortunately,unless you want to get wet.

    Thanks for sharing your videos. Do you pick up and take away modern plastic tar you find especially the rope that was found with that street light? Anything like that can be a danger to wildlife.

    • @TheAussieMudlark
      @TheAussieMudlark  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jenni, I always try to get rid of plastic. What I also target is lead waste as mudlarks can find it better when we are scraping around and it would easily be missed by the public.

    Just Subbed today! I follow many mudlarking/treasure hunting channels, but sometimes I unsub because of shaky, blurry, washed out colors on the camera work. It was your great camera work/camera that compelled me to Sub & I enjoyed your finds & commentary. Great job! It is interesting to see what one person finds & keeps over another. I saw some things I would have gone home with; especially that old safe. I can think of a half dozen repurposing projects...but that's my thing, & you are focused on your own passion. Keep it up, I really enjoyed the video....could not believe how many marbles you found!!!
