Good to see Richard out there with you, I have enjoyed his videos very much as pottery is a love of mine. Of course here in Michigan the oldest I find is Native American Indian. The oldest I have found is from the Early Woodland which dates back several thousand years. Love your video Si!
How you weren't blown away with the wind is beyond me- not a picking to pin you down 😂 brilliant video, great contribution from Richard- I had no idea about the tempering of grey ware 😁 every day is a school day! Thank you and please stay safe- all of you- you will soon be out there at the coal face again ❤
The horse was actually quite young, less then 10 years old, you showed tue 2nd incisor and it still has its cup (the indent in the middle), which wears down and disappears in the upper jaws first incisor after 9 years, 2nd incisor after 10 years and 3rd incisor after 11 years, in the lower jaw its after 6 years for the 1st, 7 years for the 2nd and 8 years for the 3rd incisor

Whenever I see 'Pot Boilers' I can't help but be reminded of the story "Stone Soup". And you can't just use any old stone to heat water, some will explode! Makes me wonder if the story isn't just a cultural memory of the before times.
I don’t know for sure but why wouldn’t it? I think you’re right! It’s fascinating how many fictional stories have come to light as being true in origin! ✌🏼🙏🏼❤️ for you and yours! ❤️, A Dorothy In Kansas
The skulls are really interesting and I'm so glad Richard was along for the Roman pottery finds! Thanks for continuing to post during this difficult time!
Horse heads probably used in eel fishing. Hence the broken bits. Eels get right up inside so the fisherman smashes the bone to get in. They still do it in Poland.
Love watching you and Nic. You both give history and other good information instead of just chattering like so many others. Thank you for allowing me to go mudlarking with you from the great state of Tennessee.
Flint is formed from silica which formed inside chalk during the Cretaceous period. There are lots of reasons for 'crusts' on flint but I liked Richard's theory here regarding boiling water, flint is a very good conductor of heat. Calcite also forms in flint and can be found encompassing flint echinoids. Hope the horse skulls do turn out to be roman -they're cool finds though no matter what the age and have donated £5 to the fund 🤗
That was fascinating, I learned so much. Great film as always. I love that you really give us viewers a great sense of being there with you lovely mudlovvers. What a storm you were out in. Thanks for sharing
Horsome episode Si...what a fantastic idea to get it dated!! I shall definitely like to help you find out. Really enjoy Richard's wealth of pottery knowledge, how cool are those finger prints! Thank you for sharing guys!
What the heck, I was going through mudlarking videos and stumbled across this video, before introducing Richard, I was like... hang on a second, I recognise that face, I used to live in Surrey and would regularly see him, a really nice man!, small world.
(this is Li commenting, not David) Si, thanks so much for all your videos! I just love watching them. You are the best mudlarker on youtube, and you seem like such an interesting person. Cheers from Canada :) ♥
An excellent Si-finds episode! Can’t wait for the carbon dating results... there may also be dna material in the teeth? An equine society would be interested in the horses’ origin & lineage (if there are descendants).
Interesting finds. I enjoyed this. I agree that the it would be fascinating to find out how old it could be. Did it fall in battle? Was it butchered? Could it have washed up from a shipwreck that sank in a storm? I’m curious. Richard is a font of information. He readily identifies the pieces just by looking at it.
Finding a bunch of horse-skulls in one place makes me think of what's found around old tanneries; wonder if that's what these could be from? The skulls were often removed first to help the animals' carcasses drain and because brain-matter decays very fast and gets particularly stinky. Horsehide was considered to be fairly high-grade leather in the past, stiffer than regular cattle-leather and a bit on the waterproof side. It was used a lot in carriages and luggage, whips, harnesses, boots, you name it, and some people preferred softened horsehide for greatcoats when they traveled because of how finegrained it was. Tanneries were usually right on the edge (or even outside) cities due to the horrible smells, and they needed a close-by water source, so you find the sites along rivers and streams all the time; they date back quite literally thousands of years. As for that narrower horse that Trimmy found, I wonder if it might've been a donkey? Good to see Trimmy and Richard out with you; I have to admit that I'm a fan of Richard's-- so sue me, massive competence is terribly attractive! ^_^ Love to watch his videos, the man's depth of knowledge is *amazing.*
Not too old, “Mid 18th” Century. I’m so jealous! If I found something from the 1700s I would be ecstatic. To those of us in the US, that’s a long time ago. I wish we had a longer history, but it took you Brits a long time to get around to settling here! (along with everyone else…)
Si, have you ever heard the saying "long in the tooth"? It comes from the fact that the older the horse (& other equines) the longer their teeth. Opposite to primates, like ourselves. Back when people didn't know their ages, people had to make assumptions, often based on things like grey hair, skin condition but also teeth length. Having no dental health back then, older people would all have shorter, worn down teeth. This is part of the reason if looks so odd to us when elderly people get pristine full length teeth with their dentures & veneers etc. I studied human evolution & anthropology at uni, is why I know this stuff. Cheers from NZ
Thanks Si. To know if your horse was an old or a young horse before it died it takes a little knowledge of how their teeth grow as they age. It's a little difficult from a video. Basically a quick look at the angkevof the front teeth will do. The more acute the angle where the teeth meet the skull, the younger the horse. The angle flattens out as they age and the front teeth appear longer and reaching. That's interestingly where the expression " long in the tooth " came from when referring to us old giesers . Horse's are grazing animals so always have a wear pattern on the enamel so it's easier to guesstimate age by angle of the front teeth. ( I owned horses for 35 years and loved assisting the horse dentist yearly)😁👍💙 plus being a nurse anatomy and physiology fascinated me.😉
Hello Si ....if you have a large tooth spare ....I could do with one as my mate I detect with has just punched one of mine out a few weeks ago when I found a gold ring . I will wait by the letter box for something to do ! Stay safe every one x
Great video and informative, I looking at the teeth you found look so huge , is it part of the same thing? Also seeing the burning on both bones , could be that they was involved in the fires of Londinium in that era may be? Thanks for sharing!

Interesting vid, certainly makes you think. Precision dating of the skull, to an exact date might be difficult. You have so much history in such a small space there on your island.
There is flint and chert, both microcrystaline the same as jasper and agate, the reason they are different names, flint is nodular like the white lumps found on the Coast, Chert is formed in slabs and very saught after by flint workers making replica arrowheads etc.
Sad you have to cover your @ss and put the filmed on date so people don't bash you for it. Keep posting your awesome adventures and finds; we'll keep watching. 👍👍✌✌
People still dont take the time to read it though and they jump to conclusions....I hope si has some more footage to make a few more videos during lockdown xxx
The holes you thought were eye sockets are actually the temples. The horse's eyes are further down the side of its head by a bit. Judging size of them, you're looking at a pony or a cob. The one is young. Probably 4 or 5 years old and definitely a stud or gelding. Did you ever get them dated?
hi si, it takes 10,000 years for a fossil to fossilize so if the horse teeth and skull are then it's over 10,000 years old if not then it's less than 10,000 years old :0) I have my own fossilized horse tooth and it's heavy as it's turned to stone, fossilized :0)
@@billyanderson321 true but I think it's accepted that it takes 10k to fossilize fossils but like you say some fossils under different setting can fossilize quicker :0) the only problem is we are not around long enough to see it unfortunately :0(
Mudlarkers & detectorists on TH-cam, really need to learn to shield their mics from the wind when it's blowing. Something I learned when making fishing vids.
Horsome episode. When I saw the incisors (front teeth) of your skull, my instincts told me 'young horse' due to the angle and length of the incisor, and the very large 'cup' or infundibulum on the occluding surface. I would suggest the age of the horse at death would be between 3.5 and 5 years. Only a guess without seeing a full set of incisors. I have a degree in equine science, but not as much knowledge as a vet or equine dentist! FYI Si!
Great Video, as per usual! BTW, cows and sheep don't have upper teeth. Horses do. The first skull part is the forehead (with eye sockets) and the nasal ridge which ends before the nostril area. At 9:36 the skull that Mr. Trim found is definitely a horse's upper jaw. It has the long gap between the incisors and the molars (where the bit rests). It is most likely a male horse. If you look closely, there is a tooth socket in that gap. Most female horses do not have these "wolf teeth". To judge the age of an horse, there are numerous charts online that can help you determine that. The easiest way is to use the upper incisors wear pattern. Since you have both the center teeth in quite good condition, it should be a cinch! LOL Famous last words, eh! Just looking at that loose tooth, I would suggest between 5 years and 10 years of age. The little pointy cone-shaped tooth is a wolf tooth. At 18:35, that is a section of the lower jaw, back between the molars. Cheers from Florida!
the horse is probably not real old based on the angle of the incisors and the presence of an incisor cup. When horses are real old the incisors project more forward and the teeth are longer. In addition the cup of the incisor at 12:20 is still present which means the teeth have not worn down beyond the cup. I would guess this horse was probably around 7 years old
I know this is a fairly old video but I saw a leaf that looked familiar 🤔 did you stumble on someone's gorilla grow of the old Jamaica 🇯🇲 old Holburn??
2:22 “let’s give it a bit of uh cleanup...” ...proceeds to rub it on his coat;making a terrible scratching noise. Me: NOOO! You’ll damage the glaze! (Rethinks where you pulled it from and laughs because that thought made No sense! )🤪😬😉
Interesting linguistics finds today, Simon: I had never before heard the literal meaning of 'potboiler' - those prehistorics must have been an impatient group, when they want their tea they want it now! Also, we can really see where the expression 'long in the tooth' came from (it does refer to horses teeth and age). Great post!!
Great videos. And great finds. I collect paeolithic handaxes which I find on the Suffolk and Norfolk beaches if u interested in looking at them if u have a email I can send u some pictures of them. Nice thing about them is the colours and patina they have on them. All diffrent sizes and shapes to. Cheers Ryan.
When your out in the mud and your finding bits of large Roman pottery, are they funeral pots? How did they get so far out from the shore? Was the water not covering where you are finding the pots two thousand years ago? Was it dry land back then or was the pots taken out into the water? Cheers 👍

hi si, it takes 10,000 years for a fossil to fossilize so if the horse teeth and skull are then it's over 10,000 years old if not then it's less than 10,000 years old :0) I have my own fossilized horse tooth and it's heavy as it's turned to stone, fossilized :0)
robert martyr doesn’t always take 10k years. Under right settings, petrifaction happens very rapidly.
@@billyanderson321 true but I think it's accepted that it takes 10k to fossilize fossils but like you say some fossils under different setting can fossilize quicker :0) the only problem is we are not around long enough to see it unfortunately :0(
Mudlarkers & detectorists on TH-cam, really need to learn to shield their mics from the wind when it's blowing. Something I learned when making fishing vids.
Horsome episode. When I saw the incisors (front teeth) of your skull, my instincts told me 'young horse' due to the angle and length of the incisor, and the very large 'cup' or infundibulum on the occluding surface. I would suggest the age of the horse at death would be between 3.5 and 5 years. Only a guess without seeing a full set of incisors. I have a degree in equine science, but not as much knowledge as a vet or equine dentist! FYI Si!
Wicked thanks Shaun!
Great Video, as per usual! BTW, cows and sheep don't have upper teeth. Horses do. The first skull part is the forehead (with eye sockets) and the nasal ridge which ends before the nostril area. At 9:36 the skull that Mr. Trim found is definitely a horse's upper jaw. It has the long gap between the incisors and the molars (where the bit rests). It is most likely a male horse. If you look closely, there is a tooth socket in that gap. Most female horses do not have these "wolf teeth". To judge the age of an horse, there are numerous charts online that can help you determine that. The easiest way is to use the upper incisors wear pattern. Since you have both the center teeth in quite good condition, it should be a cinch! LOL Famous last words, eh! Just looking at that loose tooth, I would suggest between 5 years and 10 years of age. The little pointy cone-shaped tooth is a wolf tooth. At 18:35, that is a section of the lower jaw, back between the molars. Cheers from Florida!
Juadonna Henry thank you!
the horse is probably not real old based on the angle of the incisors and the presence of an incisor cup. When horses are real old the incisors project more forward and the teeth are longer. In addition the cup of the incisor at 12:20 is still present which means the teeth have not worn down beyond the cup. I would guess this horse was probably around 7 years old
Martha Anderson cool. I’d be more interested in what era he was from than actual age to be honest
For the well deserving Anglophenia that Si is, I’m thinking the skull is a Black Shuck. Brouhaha!!!
lol
I know this is a fairly old video but I saw a leaf that looked familiar 🤔 did you stumble on someone's gorilla grow of the old Jamaica 🇯🇲 old Holburn??
2:22 “let’s give it a bit of uh cleanup...” ...proceeds to rub it on his coat;making a terrible scratching noise.
Me: NOOO! You’ll damage the glaze!
(Rethinks where you pulled it from and laughs because that thought made No sense! )🤪😬😉
Google This no harm done mate
It's a Sleestack! Lol
What’s that?
It's a creature off an old tv series. Land of the lost.
Hey Si. Interesting time for a carbon dating fundraiser.
Downright comical, but oddly uplifting at the same time.
I hope you raise the money.
Allan Turpin Target reached mate. Gotta respect the Mudlover crew!
@@Sifinds- sweet.
Interesting linguistics finds today, Simon: I had never before heard the literal meaning of 'potboiler' - those prehistorics must have been an impatient group, when they want their tea they want it now! Also, we can really see where the expression 'long in the tooth' came from (it does refer to horses teeth and age). Great post!!
Marcel Audubon Thanks mate. And thanks for the donation!! 👍🏻
Well, they didn't have microwaves!! Anything to get-her- done.
it saved the pot from cracking on the fire.
Can't take the wind noise!
Great videos. And great finds. I collect paeolithic handaxes which I find on the Suffolk and Norfolk beaches if u interested in looking at them if u have a email I can send u some pictures of them. Nice thing about them is the colours and patina they have on them. All diffrent sizes and shapes to. Cheers Ryan.
Ryzie Mac well can’t speak for Si but I’d love to see pics of the
So have you found out how old it is yet?
Poor lads are out there in the bitter cold making a video for us and people moaning about the wind noise 🤔another great video lads well done 👏
AWESOME VIDEO!! :)
Thanks Mudlover
When your out in the mud and your finding bits of large Roman pottery, are they funeral pots? How did they get so far out from the shore? Was the water not covering where you are finding the pots two thousand years ago? Was it dry land back then or was the pots taken out into the water? Cheers 👍
Isn’t it possible to wear something similar to snowshoes to stop you from sinking in the mud? Flat pieces of wood?
