its nice to see this group of girls out and about ,healthy and smiling again simon, a great day with some pretty cool finds,thanks for the trip,please be careful of this damn virus
Rebecca Topken I know. Buried deep underground, it makes you wonder how long plastic REALLY takes to break down, if paper is ok after 90 years in the mud!
We have something like that in NY, it’s called Dead Horse Bay for obvious reasons. And in the late 1800s, early 1900s the beach was covered with rubble from torn down buildings and people thrash. Now you can find old bottles, dishes, sometimes silverware, jewelry. Lots of cool stuff.
Bottles of white stuff were used to keep white canvas tennis shoes (plimsolls) white. It was also used for white canvas fashion shoes, only worn in summer.
I love the wonky bottles. They remind me of the story of the wonky donkey, you should find it here on TH-cam your nieces may enjoy it. It has to be the one where the Scottish granny is reading it’s very funny. Have a great week. G
Watching this video today, brings so many happy memories for me. My brother and I used to spend hours digging in old dumps, in Idaho USA, sadly lost my brother in horrible accident this year. Thank you for bringing back the memories, love all finds today. I would love to have that insulator to ad to my collection.
A fantastic hour of Simon and friends is a rare treat on a Sunday! A great assortment of finds with some very special dump divers. I do think my favorite quote of the video came from Flo (perhaps), who said, "A kewpie going poopie." You guys are the best and thanks for letting us tag along for the hunt, Simon.
That child, Cecelia has an eye and is a keeper. Wow the things she found. She is so young but so awesome. I'm impressed. Please tell her your youtubers think she is awesomely grand! She found the very best things!
Yes, I was impressed with her finds too. Glad Mum decided to keep some of her finds. I thought her stuff was the best. I do like the historic bottles, but I would much rather keep the bits & bobs of tile, glass, & ceramic pieces that Cecilia found. I would have gone along on this trip, & kept all the pieces that the mudlarks threw back!!
You guys are all sweet and kind to each other, really impressive. Wish I lived there and was part of the club. The little girl has a good eye! Her mom should help her make something from her finds!
I've dug loads of stuff out of my garden, very addictive. You stick to a 1 metre patch and just when you gone down 2 feet, dug out the edges and are just about to stop, you find an amazing piece of blue and white! Most sentimental has been the Victorian ladies boots, knowing they've been up and down our stairs.
Those white milk glass marmalade jars are perfect for holding utensils to cook. I would want the real jars, with no decoupage. The real milk glass is lovely. But Si you do what you want but it's better natural. I am like you Si I love the aqua glass the best. It is just beautiful.
@JennyWinters, I too prefer the jars "as is". I decoupage things & love all sorts of paper arts, but I can think of a million things to do with those little pots. Also, the newspaper bits; after being dried out, are coveted by paper artists, scrapbookers, junk journaler's, etc. They will buy just the newspaper bits alone. So @Si-Finds Thames Mudlark, if you don't have the time to decoupage, consider selling the paper on your Etsy. Google "ephemera" & you will discover an entire niche market. Included in "ephemera" are newspaper, ticket stubs or brochures, postcards, old maps, address books, ledgers & logs, receipts. Yellowing, staining & torn pieces are part of the charm!!
Wowee , Simon, even a regular January finding-day is a great one for you ! Possibly other good finds there, where you were. congratulations for unearthing and bringing the caudle cup back to life. It is so well-made for a pewter item. Love those brass pieces too. Exceptional work !
Excellent video. Amused by the newspaper date-search audio timing..."Aaargh! F'd it up......bleep!!" What a fabulous group of people, and fascinating finds!
That was an excellent video, thank you Simon and friends - what a lovely bunch of people. All those fantastic finds (the Dick Whittington pipe was spectacular). That is one hell of an amazing dump, I'm tempted to move there and called myself Stig!
A fun and interesting treasures. The beauty in bottle designs of the past lends knowledge that older times art was as important in design as the product itself.
Love your friends all down to earth and unafraid to get themselves dirty for their treasures!!! As always wonderful to watch all your adventures and unique finds!! :)
Thanks for this, great finds. Absolutely wonderful to walk into a bottle collectors kitchen that has a large window with shelves in the window space all crammed with different coloured bottles and jars and the sun shining behind them, absolutely brilliant!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Hello from Michigan, U.S.A. Today's video is one of the funnest to watch. So much variety in types of finds and so many relics in good condition. It's also interesting to hear have creatively the artifacts will be re-purposed.
Gordana Zakula, there was a major recall/class action suit filed against Lumber Liquidators ( I think) due to the obscene amount of formaldehyde and God-knows-what chemicals in the laminate flooring their corrupt Chinese suppliers were sending them. People were falling ill left and right. I saw an expose where the reporters filmed undercover in the Chinese factory. The factory owner just slapped on fake “Certified Compliant With State of California Regulations” stickers on the box and called it good. The American CEO was fired for not doing quality control. Same thing happened with cheap Chinese Gypsum Wallboard aka Drywall several years back - people got sick from the poison those greedy bastards made the wallboard out of.
THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF! I live in the US and we had a dump that was pushed over the edge of the saltwater Bank for forever so you could just use a paintbrush or anything and hang off the cliff by the Bramble if you had good gloves on and the finds were incredible! Things were whole things were untouched because of the way that they were entombed. My brother would find amazing things and his friend would find amazing things and sell them. I got to spend a whole day there but I don't know where my things went it was so long ago. I finally got to go back there and it took my mother-in-law to be and I a very long time to get down there there was at least 12 in of glass Pebbles ringing as they touched each other from the water rolling them. Keep in mind this is on a quiet day when the tide is calm. The glass goes 5 ft deeper more and there's a shipwreck out swimming range for the divers to go through from Asia somewhere. The sad thing is is when we finally got down there and we were getting ready to start picking a man came and shooed us off the property! In Washington state you can't usually own private . You can own the on the land above it but down below by the water usually cannot be owned. But he insisted, the first time I heard the woman I was with swear and boy did she let go! We could see thousands of things around us delicate little vases. Cups teapots dolls complete it's endless! Alas that time is over so I'm going to have to save and come visit you as soon as possible I can just see me trying to get this home to the US? There must be a way all the dumps in the u.s. in my range are gone. I literally dream of this. I crave doing this I would be there for days I'd camp out. Thank you for this I stayed awake an hour longer just to watch this so it's now almost 4 a.m. Perry history I promised myself to go to sleep early. thank you for another fabulous video! even if this one did hurt a little.
Gomez addams you should go back to that place but to the tax office and see if the land is actually owned someone may be trying save it all for themselves and get in writing from tax office then go to local police and get permisdion to be on that spot of land and if its owned go to owner and ask to go there to preserve and not make a mess and possibly offer to pay 20 bucks for a few hours of looking to preserve the past...i would do that ..Good Luck.
Always a pleasure to join this group at the bottle dump. You can be assured of laughs, learning lessons, and lucky finds. Monika's dream find was found -- the penny lick -- but by Cecilia. Flo was trying her best to leave things -- except those were her daughter's best finds...and Mum relented. Anna's dilemma was what to leave behind but changed her mind when Si pointed out it could all be gone. Mike has an incredible eye at the dump, too...only the best finds. What an amazing day all around. Thank you for taking us along to visit a true treasure trove.
That black glass bottle you wondered about that didn't have a seam is what is called a turn mold bottle. They were blown in a mold and then they turned it while the glass was still molten . Usually there are faint concentric rings on the bottle which indicate it was turned. Turn mold bottles could not have embossing on them they always had paper labels. Bottles like the one you found usually contained some kind of spirits. Love your videos Si. It's inspiring me to do some digging again.
Ladies and gents, fantastic treasures, I would love to take all the things you chucked!!!!!!!! I had loads of fun with all of you today!!!!! Will be purchasing air ticket, in the next month!!!! God bless!!!!
this would be a dream for my 8 year old daughter, unfortunately here in the states we dont have such things that date back so far accessible locally, so I am content with your videos for me and my wee one to watch and dream, cheers friends
Dad INC you’d be surprised! I just went fossil hunting on the peace river in Florida and found hundreds of interesting fossils and sharks teeth. Would be awesome to find things like they do in the bottle dumps and the Thames, though.
i had a lovely adventure going with you today i cant wait till we go again and descover all the great things you all find right along with you!!! cheerio!
I watched one of your videos after I saw you featured in one with Nicola White. In your introduction greeting I thought you said, "Hello, My Lovers!" l thought whoo whoo isnt he fancy! lol it was after a few videos I realized you were saying Mudlovers. lol
I think if I had found Monica's horse torso I would put one of the creepy doll's heads and four doll's legs on it. The Art Nouveau bottle does look very much like something Lalique could have made.
I have got an old wooden toy horse from the 1700s or possibly earlier, in good condition. The remainder you found looks to me like it could have been similar. If you want to restore it Icould send you a picture.
I found this episode particularly entertaining as there was a “Dick Whittington pipe” discovered by your young friend. The name immediately rang a bell, as my mother, who was born in Brighton, was an actress before and during WWII, and played a major role In the Pantomime “Dick Whittington” at The Finsbury Park Empire in the early ‘40’s. Her stage name was Rosalie Allen and the male lead was George Jackley. I’m trying to attach a copy of the program, but having no luck.Also, I’ve been a Metal detecting treasure hunter for 30 years here in CA and am often envious of the great antiquity of the items dug in Britain. Keep up the great mudlarking. I’m living vicariously through you! Roger in California.
Hi sci & friends, as you Brits would say "I'm gobsmacked"!!!!! What fun treasures, wish we had dumps like that! I think the green glass vase with the all the vineyard embossing is Loetz glass, yes it is beautiful!! What fun going with you, can't wait for your next outing, best Carol.
A great group of friends enjoying a day of fellowship and treasurer recovery. Enjoyed your hunt and your unique and interesting finds. Stay well all. Al. NJ. USA
The green , seamless bottle toward the end of the video looks like it was created in a turn mold. Usually a turn mold formed bottle will have concentric circles or rings going around the bottle in a few areas like those near the shoulder of your bottle. Those rings are created as the blown bottle is literally being turned inside the mold. As the bottle is turned, the rings are created by granules in the paste that is applied inside mold prior to creating a bottle, or foreign particles such as sawdust, or imperfections in the mold surface. Once you have it cleaned, hold it up in the light and you might just see more rings going around the bottle.
I think they are all beautiful finds things that time forgot rather sad in a lot of ways loved to have been there so would the Northern Mudlarks thanks Si xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧
so years back o was digging some footings really old vicarage and I had so much fun finding the bottles and pipes. I would love you go to a place like this with my missus and kids
Hi I just live east of Toronto and in ajax by duffins creek there a few places along the creek that have really old bottles dumps and also a old vintage house u can dig for bottles and stuff I've found some nice bottles and a few silver rings with my metal detector also missauga has a few .
OK, glass grinders seem to start at £150 over there (yow) so an alternative is diamond bits in a Dremel rotary tool, with the piece held gingerly in a shallow dish of water to keep the glass cool. Or maybe you know this already!
Fabulous treasures u all found. Great idea 2 decoupage the jam pots. Gives them a whole new look. Brill vid. Interesting, funny and well worth watching.👊💖
Simon, I've viewed an reviewed this video more than a couple times, since you posted it nearly a year ago. This remains in my top five favorites of your vids. Great day of finds, with a good group and wonderful weather, which doesn't happen every day in England. So many fun and unusual finds,, though I'm partial to the quirky leg with foot, that has the turned-up toed. Does anyone in the group have YT channels, Si?
Hi there I used to dig Victorian dumps way back in the the late 80' and early to mid 90's. we were able to find much bigger and undug sites back then and were finding "bears grease" lids including "Blue bears" "Warners safe cure" bottles in all colours including cobalt blue. "ginger beer bottles" with blue and green tops and the more common brown. "Codds" bottles, pointed "Hamilton's" in all colours, but we were mainly digging for pot lids. we used to have great finds in places like Shalford (guildford), elmers end and lots of other places. we used to find all sorts of match strikers, cream pots, poison bottles in all colours, including "coffin" and "skulls", as well as, Inks, clay pipes including "figural", dolls heads with glass eye's lead weights still in place and remnants of hair and the leather cap the hair was stitched to. we would go to the town halls of various places and look in the old records looking for signs of old dumps and believe it or not the biggest giveaway was people complaining about the smell coming from the newly established dump. These nuisance sites were quickly clay capped and left undisturbed for a 100 or so years untill we started digging them. You would have loved it back then because we were getting out so much it was unbelievable, but there must still be some early dumps still undug it's just finding them. I have recently found a dump local to me that was last used in the 30's but I don't know when it was started so I am going to check it out as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer and hopefully find earlier stuff than 30's. keep up the good work and I will carry on watching. Good luck Neil
What fun old dumps are! That multicoloured object broken at the top could be simply a decorative piece like glass paperweights are. I had a feeling that little bottle was going to break.Got to be patient.
There's something stunningly beautiful about multiple generations of modern humans getting so thrilled by finding artifacts of their ancestors.
its nice to see this group of girls out and about ,healthy and smiling again simon, a great day with some pretty cool finds,thanks for the trip,please be careful of this damn virus
Nothing like spending a day with friends doing something you all love. A 90 yr old newspaper, left to the elements and it has not disintegrated!😮
Rebecca Topken I know. Buried deep underground, it makes you wonder how long plastic REALLY takes to break down, if paper is ok after 90 years in the mud!
And it was burned around the edges!!
I've always wanted to visit England and now I want to visit England and dig through old trash piles! Great vids, man! Greetings from the USofA!
Greeting from the cannada

Have to try to convince my sister and her husband to go there when I next visit them in New York.
I hated for this video to end. It was such a pleasure to watch. Good finds and good friends. It doesn't get better than that.
Thanks Sharon, I was worried it was too long!
Bottles of white stuff were used to keep white canvas tennis shoes (plimsolls) white. It was also used for white canvas fashion shoes, only worn in summer.
“I collect blue bottles in my bathroom”.
“You can get a fly paper for that”.

The decoupaged pieces are remarkable,I am very impressed.
None of this would be possible without the work of a little girl’s magic wand😊

WOW I would love a site like this one!!! So much stuff and nice early stuff mixed in!
I so very much enjoy these videos...all your adventures, with or without friends. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks!
@@Sifinds Cuffs is a very Sexy Man !
I love all of the unusual things you and your friends find! It was so nice to see your friend and her young daughter-mudlover in training!
One day I’ll live over there and can go digging with y’all!!!! My life’s dream!!!!
Mine too!
Oh man, where is this place? be a dream come true,,,,
I could never go to a place like that cause i would be bringing all the bottles home.
That's the point 😃
I'd end up having to rent a shipping container to send it all home...lol
Wowee , Simon, even a regular January finding-day is a great one for you ! Possibly other good finds there, where you were. congratulations for unearthing and bringing the caudle cup back to life. It is so well-made for a pewter item. Love those brass pieces too. Exceptional work !

Your dumps/tips are the best★I won't be able to tear me away from that dump! That bird feeder can still be used with some imagination :)
One of the best channels on TH-cam
john t ah thanks John
Wonderful video! How nice it was an hour long! Loved it! ❤️ Thank you for sharing everyone's finds...take care!
I Love seeing You’re channel here in S. Ontario, Canada. Thanks again for making you’re channel.
That was an excellent video, thank you Simon and friends - what a lovely bunch of people. All those fantastic finds (the Dick Whittington pipe was spectacular). That is one hell of an amazing dump, I'm tempted to move there and called myself Stig!
I like to see your group mudlarking, bottle digging,etc. Such a fun group.
Thanks Kath!
Yes that Harlesden Hotel is still there, not far from me. Wish I had that bottle. Great find Si.
A fun and interesting treasures. The beauty in bottle designs of the past lends knowledge that older times art was as important in design as the product itself.
Love the humor and energy lots of love and genuine happiness. Love seeing you guys rummage around.😁
SaHara Clark Thanks sweetie!
Great adventure, thanks for taking us along.
Love your friends all down to earth and unafraid to get themselves dirty for their treasures!!! As always wonderful to watch all your adventures and unique finds!! :)

Which is why all the Victorians are dead now. :-)
Joe Cook-Giles huh....I chalked it up to their gorgeous green arsenic-laden floral wallpaper. Lovely, isn’t it?
@@mattkaustickomments Matt!!! I was researching modern floors, and found that some were toxic!!!

My husband and I yelled AHHHHH when you accidentally broke the poison bottle lol absolutely love these videos...it's paradise thanks for sharing!
HaHa, yeah what a klutz!
Are you interesting in buying some blue poison bottles I have 100 for sale all different
Love the things you are giving away😍then, ooooh, another poison bottle😁great site for bottles and surprises
Great to see London and keep having fun !

Wet White is used in the tanning process. Yet another great video guys.
That’s got to be the best bottle dump I have seen on all of these channels!
I wish I could see your blue bottles collection ... I have a blue vases collection (around 60 !)
Anna is brilliant, I love her excitement 💖😊

What lovely finds! The pipes, doll heads, bottles, loved seeing all of them! 😊
Lisa Uptagrafft Thanks!
Ladies and gents, fantastic treasures, I would love to take all the things you chucked!!!!!!!! I had loads of fun with all of you today!!!!! Will be purchasing air ticket, in the next month!!!! God bless!!!!
3 months ago, when people were buying airline tickets
I wouldn't be able to carry enough of them out!! The bottles you guys tose out as plain we dig all day just to find one! Lol
Realllly cool video!! All had truly amazing finds!!!!
I always enjoy these group dump-digs. They're so much fun and so many cool things are found. Thanks for sharing the adventure, Simon. :)
Malinda Thanks for watching!

Dad INC you’d be surprised! I just went fossil hunting on the peace river in Florida and found hundreds of interesting fossils and sharks teeth. Would be awesome to find things like they do in the bottle dumps and the Thames, though.
It certainly looks as if you all had a really fun day! Lots of lovely things found, makes me wish I could have been with you!😊
Thanks,. You were there in spirit!
Amazing finds at this site! I love the little purple bottle with flat sides - beautiful!
I would have a hay day at that dump. In fact I would need a dump truck for my haul! Haha!
Lots of history in those hills. Good job.
The findings are wonderful. Some one's trash is some one's treasure.
The striped tile looks like it may have come from a swimming pool changing room.
Definitely some kind of wet walkway, my mother's drive and entryway have tiles like that one.
The real treasure for me was finding these videos. Greetings from Florida 💖
Awesome finds! That place is so cool, I just want to be there on the hunt!♡ Just a fun time!!
Thanks Jenny!
I use old newspapers to find writing prompts. Awesome findings.
i had a lovely adventure going with you today i cant wait till we go again and descover all the great things you all find right along with you!!! cheerio!
I watched one of your videos after I saw you featured in one with Nicola White. In your introduction greeting I thought you said, "Hello, My Lovers!" l thought whoo whoo isnt he fancy! lol it was after a few videos I realized you were saying Mudlovers. lol

The Art Nouveau bottle does look very much like something Lalique could have made.
Not Lalique. It's Loetz or if not then Pallme konig or kralik
Awesome video Si!!! That place is amazing! Thank you for taking us along!!! ❤️
Thank you! Check out the past videos too if your new to the dump!
Love this dump , it just keeps giving up treasures👍so much
what a superb day out for you and friends ,,,awsome goodies ! great to see all you finds !
I have got an old wooden toy horse from the 1700s or possibly earlier, in good condition. The remainder you found looks to me like it could have been similar. If you want to restore it Icould send you a picture.

Cecelia is queen of the bottle dump today!
Oh yes
The green , seamless bottle toward the end of the video looks like it was created in a turn mold. Usually a turn mold formed bottle will have concentric circles or rings going around the bottle in a few areas like those near the shoulder of your bottle. Those rings are created as the blown bottle is literally being turned inside the mold. As the bottle is turned, the rings are created by granules in the paste that is applied inside mold prior to creating a bottle, or foreign particles such as sawdust, or imperfections in the mold surface. Once you have it cleaned, hold it up in the light and you might just see more rings going around the bottle.
The insulator could have been the best find on the dump if it was a rare one, there's a lot of collectors especially across the pond.
The pink/green glass item was probably a scent bottle for putting on the dressing table.
Hooray!!! The Victorian bottle dump videos are my favorite! There are so many treasures there❤️❤️❤️

I cried when you left the insulator. There’s a huge market for them!
so years back o was digging some footings really old vicarage and I had so much fun finding the bottles and pipes.
I would love you go to a place like this with my missus and kids
I wish Toronto had cool places like this! I would LOVE to do this!
Hi I just live east of Toronto and in ajax by duffins creek there a few places along the creek that have really old bottles dumps and also a old vintage house u can dig for bottles and stuff I've found some nice bottles and a few silver rings with my metal detector also missauga has a few .
OK, glass grinders seem to start at £150 over there (yow) so an alternative is diamond bits in a Dremel rotary tool, with the piece held gingerly in a shallow dish of water to keep the glass cool. Or maybe you know this already!
Fabulous treasures u all found. Great idea 2 decoupage the jam pots. Gives them a whole new look. Brill vid. Interesting, funny and well worth watching.👊💖
30:28 that bottle is beautiful! ..and Flo is gorgeous 😍
I could watch these dump dig videos all day. Amazing what you all find.
sara bradley Thanks Sara!
Simon, I've viewed an reviewed this video more than a couple times, since you posted it nearly a year ago. This remains in my top five favorites of your vids. Great day of finds, with a good group and wonderful weather, which doesn't happen every day in England. So many fun and unusual finds,, though I'm partial to the quirky leg with foot, that has the turned-up toed. Does anyone in the group have YT channels, Si?
So fun to go along with all of you and share in your adventure! Love antiques💕
Hi there I used to dig Victorian dumps way back in the the late 80' and early to mid 90's. we were able to find much bigger and undug sites back then and were finding "bears grease" lids including "Blue bears" "Warners safe cure" bottles in all colours including cobalt blue. "ginger beer bottles" with blue and green tops and the more common brown. "Codds" bottles, pointed "Hamilton's" in all colours, but we were mainly digging for pot lids. we used to have great finds in places like Shalford (guildford), elmers end and lots of other places. we used to find all sorts of match strikers, cream pots, poison bottles in all colours, including "coffin" and "skulls", as well as, Inks, clay pipes including "figural", dolls heads with glass eye's lead weights still in place and remnants of hair and the leather cap the hair was stitched to. we would go to the town halls of various places and look in the old records looking for signs of old dumps and believe it or not the biggest giveaway was people complaining about the smell coming from the newly established dump. These nuisance sites were quickly clay capped and left undisturbed for a 100 or so years untill we started digging them. You would have loved it back then because we were getting out so much it was unbelievable, but there must still be some early dumps still undug it's just finding them. I have recently found a dump local to me that was last used in the 30's but I don't know when it was started so I am going to check it out as soon as the weather gets a bit warmer and hopefully find earlier stuff than 30's. keep up the good work and I will carry on watching.
Good luck
Neil
What fun old dumps are! That multicoloured object broken at the top could be simply a decorative piece like glass paperweights are. I had a feeling that little bottle was going to break.Got to be patient.
