Thanks for watching! As mentioned - see me find a huge anti-aircraft shell click here th-cam.com/video/2AplvFMtWdM/w-d-xo.html
cut the bottom out of a bucket for shallow water searching look through the bucket when the bottom is just a little under the water level
Really enjoyed it like always 💙 Love Watching si and friends my favourite Sunday thing to do 💙
that block with AD 73 reminds me of the stones above establishments stating when they were founded
Mating season eh! Does anyone else ever get the will they wont they, vibe with Nicola, and Si?😉
Proverbs 22:6 ~ Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
I think this was on Nic’s bit of pottery xx
Well done.
I agree - I was saying it aloud as she showed it. Very common on children’s things in the US for sure.
Beat me to it ! 😊
@@charlight2911 me 2. My response was immediate.
Awesome. Thanks!!
I visited England 2 years ago. After traveling for a week I stopped in London. I was exhausted, ill and completely knackered. I leaned over the Westminster Bridge and cried tears in the Thames and then I saw a clay pipe stuck in the mud .It put an instant smile on my face, and still does every time ya’ll find a pipe. Thanks for making me smile 😊
Cool story 👊
Did you go and get it?
@@Sifinds I did not. Pretty sure I wasn’t supposed to. Besides I was too ill. Every time you and Nic find a pipe it reminds me of standing on that beautiful bridge
I visited London in 2019 also and saw a mudlarker over at Queen's Walk, I think it was near London Bridge. He said he'd only found a few bricks, a couple of which were Victorian. I wish I'd thought about mudlarking when I lived in London in the 1980s.
The brass bracelet shaped item is a securing band, that held in place a cone shaped transit cover on WW2 shell fuzes.
Cheers Lee, do you have a link to an example online please?
My dad has one of those old lawn mowers, we call it the Olde Chuggaboom! He got it for free when he was younger as it was 'broken' still mowing and rolling the lawn just tickityboo :)
Lovely video as always Si
Awesomeness!!
That's hella cool, my dad has an old push mower and even though he's in his 80s now, he still goes out and cuts the grass every Sunday.
Unless it's raining of course.
It always amazes me how well built everything was back then, nowadays they build in obsolescence... Shame to them.
I am so bad at 'spot the find' lol. The tile is beautiful considering how old it is! Had to laugh at the people going for a swim but I sure wouldn't walk down to the water with bare feet (not after seeing the amount of pins and nails in the mud). The find of the week for me has to be the fossil.
Thanks Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
Oh wow the little white pot with the golden dragon. The bottom of it actually said "Bố Mẹ" which is mother and father in Vietnamese, i wonder what it is doing there
It is for putting incenses in btw
thanks for the translation - those gold 🐉 dragon motifs are very appealing
Thanks so much!! Maybe a memorial to deceased loved ones?
Where they old?
I was under the understanding that Vietnamese used western characters now?
Happy days indeed Si! I was impressed with your floor tile even if Rich wasn't 😂 A lovely collection of finds, I can't wait to come visit the Thames ❤️
Haha. He didn’t know what it was bless him
interesting how thick that tile is compared to modern tiles ... definitely built to last!
Best part of my week Hello Mud Lover's always Awesome time take care my friends
Thanks Mary!
POET POTTERY - Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6) ...
Ah that’s brilliant!
What interesting and rare finds you found in the muck. The tile was amazing and I was shocked at it’s age. The fossil was also a cool find. Thanks for telling us about Roman curse tablets - hope you can find one. Can’t believe those crazy swimmers (dunkers)!
Thanks Jo 👍🏻🐾🧡
I've always heard about mudlarking through my deep love and study of English history! But, until tonight I was unaware that people actually still do this in this day and age! How fascinating and wonderful of you to share!! I'll be binging your content and cannot wait to see some of your finds!!
PS. You're a doll!!! 😍🙃😉
Lovin the Steve Wright reference Serious Mudlarkin 👍😎
Fossil and foil
war tagged spoils,
Dragons and fleurs for the pile.
Finished the day,
Clean up, and away
With a 500 plus year old tile.
great haul Si.
I am fascinated by the beautiful bricks, I would have to take ages home every time I'm out!
As they say, one man's junk is another man's treasure! But in the case of you guys, one man's once junk is is a modern-day treasure! I love this show!
Fascinating hobby you have there Si. A tremendous gateway to an understanding and a putting together of knowledge of the past. The scope is really boundless.
Cheers Russ, yeah we love it. Never know what we might pluck out the mud next!
Bringing that ladder sure paid off! That tile is amazing 🤩
Thanks Breda 👍🏻🐾🧡
Phil Johnson would love the welsh Brick for sure. Loved the medieval tile & especially love the Fossil - stay safe :)) ps- those swimmers are mental 😂
Cheers Ad!
Oh Phil would go crazy for that brick!
Your tile looks so 1960's!! I wonder how our middle ages ancestors would react to that throwback to our more contemporary period.
wonder if the large stone with the number / letters on could be a mileage / road marker for place and distance?
All great guesses
Lovely collection of find Si keep looking in the mud and filming what you find 👍🏻
How can anyone give you a thumbs down, loving the fossil.
Thanks pal. Who knows, maybe they don’t like noisy geese. 😂
Some people just hate life. So 😢
Always invite the Lad with a ladder! Ooooh! Good finding, atta lad!
Hi Si , wow just awesome finds, 200 million years old and YOU just find it sitting there, mind boggling. Also the tile, some tales to tell there xx
Cheers Christine. All the planning pays off!
Thank you for all of your videos through the years! I can’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers! Love watching you find treasures and then up-cycle them. You are very creative! Also love the research bits of the history when you are able to add that. I appreciate all the time you put into this channel. Thanks again! I am so jealous of all of the history you have there literally right under your feet. Unbelievable!
Thank you very much. Feel free to share my videos on Twitter etc to help bring more people in. I’d appreciate that. Thanks for the kind words 👍🏻🐾🧡
Wonderful finds. Out of all the people to have found those treasures I am glad they were waiting for you.🙂 The history matters.
Aw thanks Robin 👍🏻🐾🧡
Wonderful finds everyone! Everything is most interesting!
Oh man Si, the covid lock downs are really getting to you guys back home 🤣 Nut OMG bare feet? What about cutting your feet to bits?! Those guys were nutters!
When you say "Spot the find", I often see more than one possible find and try to figure out which one you are going for.
Haha easily done
Congratulations on that floor tile and that very nice French coin as well as your fossil all I all very productive day with the luck in the mud, ~🌹
Nik it's a bible verse Proverbs 22:6. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Sounds like something from a workhouse
Those people are crazy
I would not go barefoot there they could step on ask sorts of pointy objects!!! Great video Si
From another Katherine (with a k 😎💜)- or they have an owie what gets invaded by a bacteria- either way I cringed! 🤢😵💫
Hello and God bless,
From me in Montana, seconding your thanks!!
I know right!!
Just asking for a MRSA infection
Beautiful tile. Beautiful bowls. Congrats on the trade token and the french coin. 200 million year old fossil takes the cake! Awesome as Michael Bennett would say!
Love the finds! Wouldn't be surprised if the Museum of London wanted that floor tile in an exhibit!
That would be cool
Wecome back again Simon & friends from NZ.
You've done it again mate!
A 600+year old tile , a mighty fine find .
Been checking out some of your earlier work.
Two words - Gob Smacked !
Thanks for the tag along.
Until next time.
Cheers.
Cheers Andrew. Enjoy mate!!
Nice day for you guys outdoors and fun in the the mudlark 👍
I’ve tried and failed to get my family interested in historical items. The idea of those people who used them in the past stuns me. I collect antique and vintage tea things and table linen. I enjoy using them and thinking of the hands that made them, used them, and loved them.
Fantastic finds!
Keep trying Deb x
I can identify with you on that Deb, it’s my passion but it’s not something anyone in my family shares with me. Old things carry such resonance, I too imagine those who had the, before me.
@@huub1989 one of my worst experiences was leaving some things in an apartment my parents owned where I’d been staying when I moved out of state until I got settled in my own place. She put a pregnant cat in there. Everything was boxed up in one room except for a 40s apartment size china cabinet, enameled table, and 2 ice cream parlor chairs. I’d been collecting embroidered linens, including a lot of my own work. Much of it Inherited from my great aunt. Hundreds of family photos. Somehow the cat got in there. I don’t know how this all happened because it was a few weeks after I left. But someone had lit a lamp in there. The cat knocked it on the bed. The apartment burned up. I got no part of the insurance money. Somehow, tho, a few years later, I found some of my things in a closet upstairs in the main house and YEARS later found that my sister had a lot of those photos. Stuff I KNOW there was only one copy of. If everything was destroyed, why wasn’t everything destroyed? How did it get into a completely different dwelling hidden in a closet?
I try not to speculate because this would have involved my mother and both sisters. But it wouldn’t totally surprise me.
@@debshaw680 that’s awful. It’s sad to lose precious and sentimental items in any way. I’m very protective of my treasures, mostly they are irreplaceable and have links to family members who have died. Cherish and protect!
@@debshaw680 Miss Deb, I'm right there with you. It's distressing to face the truth of manipulative relatives. To temper your pain, try thinking of the possibility of benign explanations. We each have so much in life, but more important are our memories.
Very nice coins. You have the best luck! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Janet 👍🏻🐾🧡
Si really has fallen in love with telescopic ladders🙊😂
They're taking their relationship one step at a time 🍻
@@drunkdunc8738 I wonder who rung who first 😂
Jay cfc69 😝not sure but I'd say the ladder at a stretch🍻
@@drunkdunc8738 haha
It’s a step ladder, I never knew my real ladder 😂
I have mad respect for Rich for his response starting at 9:45 when he honestly responded when Si asked him if he knew what it was. THAT is such an honorable, honest and humble response. Willing and wanting to learn. Not many people willing to be honest and vulnerable these days! Good on you Rich!!!!
That fossil is beautiful. You really made out like a bandit with the coins, tile and fossil. Lovely finds Si, I really enjoyed this one.
I made a marathon of your videos!!! I love all, very interesting things you find!! Thank you for share , 🤗💕 kisses from Portugal.
You’re a good lad Si 👍🏼👍🏼😊
These videos are so much fun. Thanks for sharing your finds with us.
Glad you like them!
I really like you, Si! I hope you find complete Roman amphora, golden doubloons, and the lost Templar treasure!
That would be a good day! Thanks Mudlover
That tile is fantastic!
So happy you've posted, was getting withdrawl symptoms lol. Fabulous idea getting that ladder. Some great finds too. Thsnks for sharing xxxx
Thanks Gaynor 👍🏻🐾🧡
Wonderful finds, I especially like your tile and traders token. Usually I do well at find the object, today I did not see a thing, oh well, I am glad you saw them. Thanks Si, I hope you have an awesome week.
Cheers Debbie 👍🏻🐾🧡
Ok I know those swimmers were supposed to be “cool” but... their goofy walks through the mud and back for a millisecond of swimming 😂 bahaha
Bit pathetic wasn’t it 😂
@@Sifinds Belongs in the Ministry of Funny Walks for sure.
Wiles, Tetanus, Sewage range. Dikeds. Father Thames is a long road from 'fit'.
Ugh. Swimming in the Thames! Not.
The intrepid swimmers, all I see is bare feet and remember all the broken glass and nails I have watched the Mud larkers pick up in that mud.
Loved it Si what brilliant finds 👏😃😘
Thanks Nic!
@@Sifinds 🥰🥰🥰
I love the medieval floor tile! Great find!
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
Awesome. Thank you and well done!
You guys all amaze me with all your amazing finds ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Phil Johnson would love those bricks, especially the Welsh one.
He could even tell you some history about it and tales of growing up near a colliery or brickworks and it would sound more fascinating than anything at school!
Those are some real top pocket finds Simon!!! congrats
Someone watched Oak Island too 😉 thanks x
Bottle caps! Such beauties would adorn my self-made Go - Cart back in 1960's. The production continues improve, the interest is compounded. Super stuff! Thank you & VBW x
Talk about Luck In The Muck Si Finds! A great two days I'd say! And what a better thing to do while sipping my cuppaJO while watching Si Finds?! And indeed, I'm called DaveyJO because I make a Fine cuppa Coffee east of the Susquehanna River! You get to Pa. You're invited here! Great ladder too! Kind Thanks Simon! Love, Light, Peace and More Luck inna Muck! I'm waiting to see that ancient gold coin put in the Si Finds pouch, Please! I'll come over and buy you a pint or three! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
You can send me some beans if you want 😉
Spectacular finds. The fossil is awesome.
Cheers pal
Si that was a brilliant video with your friends those Chinese tubs where beautiful.
Right??
20:18 A friend of mine stepped on a glass shard in a muddy harbour like that, and the leg got infected. It was really serious, they almost had to amputate his foot because of the infection.
Poor person. Ouch!
So much broken glass in the Thames, they were pretty reckless. All for a dip!
The fossil is epic....but so are many of your other finds! Seriously wowed by the 14th century tile and the trader's tokens! The fossil wins this one!! 🙃🦖🦕👏
Hi Simon, thanks so much for the Thames top up...the usual interesting stuff, awesome!🇿🇦💫✌️
Cheers G 👍🏻🐾🧡
What joys to find and for us to see. That tile. WOW! Si's excellent adventures. Love them!
Thanks so much
What was the point with the swimmer's i was expecting them to swim off, hilarious 🤣😂 another brilliant vid si 👍
Cheers!!
Awesome! My favorite was the 14th century tile!!!!!
Great finds thanks for sharing. Stay safe and well.
Cheers Paul 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds hi my name is Pauline just for some reason when I set you TH-cam channel up it put my name in two half’s lol
@@tinyTears Ahhh you can easily change it 👍🏻
The roman lead, Cool find!
have a friend who metal detects and when he was metal detecting on our Farmland on a significant field, he found lots of rolled up lead, just like you found which he said was from Roman times. It's pretty cool to think that Everytime we plough we bring up a bit of history.
That was amazing. What a unique group of finds, & always new knowledge when watching your videos, Simon!
I so love the many pins that you leave behind!
Thanks. I sell a few on Etsy. Some on there now
Just Amazing finds Si! Loved every bit of your adventure!♥️ Congrats, well done!
Cheers Jenny 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hello my lovely Si, absolutely love the tile, just imagine the people that have walked across it,also the sea urchin,l found one myself on a beach but it's very small ,l wish l could join you one day x
Thanks Anna 👍🏻🐾🧡
Beautiful tile!!! Your channel is so addicting!
Glad you enjoy it!
Always be my lad lol great find si that tiile is amazing well done mud lover ❤

Cheers Sam!!
Wow you had some amazing finds. Very Nice. :)
I love that tile!!!
Hi Si awesome finds love the fossil and tile. ❤️from Ontario Canada 👍👍👍
Thanks Nancy 👍🏻🐾🧡
Wow that 1634 coin! I'd love to find something like that! The fact it's been rolling around in the water for almost four hundred years is incredible! What do you do with things like that? I bet you've got an incredible collection!
I finally spotted the find ... yeah!!
Lovely idea for a fork/utensil windchime. Nice thimble. Beautiful eagle find. WOW! That tile is fantastic! How many people must have walked over it dressed in their finery? Really lovely views of train and city. Those are lovely little dragon bowls. Did you keep them? Those crows look like they’re playing hopscotch. Hmm...people are strange. How cold was water/temp? Great old coins, token. Love the echinoid story.
Cheers Coni. Yes I kept the bowls 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds 👍
Some great finds...👍☺️🥳
Cheers Janet
Well done.... you really did get some “luck in the muck” . That also was a great investment in the ladder. I so enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work from Stockbridge Michigan USA !!! ❤️🍻🍀👍🦕
agree ! that 'lad'der is nifty !
Thanks Mary! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hey Si....love this channel and am grateful for all the hard work you put into making your videos ....not trying to be picky but what you found is a fossil of what is known as a sand urchin and not a sea urchin ....difference being is that sand urchins live under the sand and move through the silt using hairs and not spikes. Similar=design to sea urchins but different habitat and behaviour ....they feed head first filtering through the sand via a little mouth shaped orifice and not on the sea bottom like sea urchins ....
The Three Mudketiers larking on the foreshore 👍🏻🌷🇳🇱
Watching those two swimmers going bare footed through the mud when we've seen the nails, pins shards of glass and scrap metal. Makes me shudder! You had some lovely findsand your vids are so packed with good sights and sounds and good fun. Thanks!
Thanks Leone!
Channelling Marc Bolan on the Foreshore-"Ride a white swan, like the people of the Beltane" Thunderstone, Fairy Loaf and Shepherd's Crown--Sir Si of the Thames Mud. Rock on! \m/ ;-)
Love a bit of T-Rex 🤟🏻
Wonderful video Si
The pottery shard with the rhyme is actually a bible verse, Proverbs 22:6- Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Great vid as usual Si. Nice to see Nic again.
Cheers John 👍🏻🐾🧡
Thank you so much for posting these, I really enjoy watching them. I particularly love how you see beauty in everything, and your easy friendship with Nicola, who does the same. Keep larking! Lizzie in Gloucs xx
Thanks Lizzie!
When I read "The Green Dragon" out loud (The Grean Dragon), I all of the sudden sounded very Brittish. It´s intresting how many people in those days wrote words as it sounded. Like green became grean for example. xD
Yeah!
Fantastic team of friends!!
Nice finds! Good to see a fossil in the mix.
Congrats on that tile! Very nice. Rich might need to watch some Time Team...😜.
The AD75 stone was perhaps robbed and reused, maybe several times! That is very interesting. Keep up the good work!
Thanks 👍
Wish i was there with you n nic! Lovlov
WOW what a haul! Fantastic finds with emotive history. Wonderful video.
Thanks for watching
@@Sifinds No thank you sir! Your knowledgeable tutorage to me as a budding mudlarker and your consistently brilliant content throughout a year of lockdowns have both been utterly invaluable.
Awesome finds! I Love the tile, and LOVE the history you provide. Thanks Si ❤️
A pleasure 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love when I put some great metal or rock background music to ur videos. Ty
Thanks Si, love your channel
Thanks. I love your name
Awesome! As always. So good to see Nicola. Thanks , Simon. Great information on the coins.
Cheers Steve 👍🏻🐾🧡
