My mum had one of those lamps in copper. it was my dad's but when she moved she left it behind so the new owners of the house got it. You always make a lovely job of the crafts you do, you're a clever boy. Keep the videos coming please.
Dear Simon, the starboard side is the right side with a green light and the port side is left with a red light. I think you may have it reversed. Thank you for a wonderful episode
Don't know if anyone has mentioned this before, but a trick to get that paint into small areas for highlighting and such. If you're using acrylic paints, thin it out a bit with some isopropyl alcohol, lets the paint flow more easily into the nooks and such. Just a tip from someone who paints miniatures on occasion.
Beautiful lantern si great job young man I see your having snow we have more than 8" and freezing cold weather 5 degrees this morning you again stay blessed and happy and blessed. 👍🍺🙏💘
Hi Si! Great video! Wow, I just love what you did with the lamp. What a transformation - to think it was at the bottom of that river rusting away for decades and now it's looking fab and hanging up on the side of your mudlarking cave! Love it. N
Lantern came out killer. String a bunch of those pipe stems vertically and make room dividers like the ones made of beads. They had them in the 60-70s. There's so many of them at that site. 👍
Omg having your trowel attached to your belt loop is genius! As an ex archaeologist i csnt even tell you how many trowels have been lost in the mud, especially as theyre always the same colour lol.
Si and Nicola need to open a Mudlarking Museum. It could be virtual, but it would be an awesome way for them, and other Mudlarks, to catalog all their finds.
Simon, A bit of "Deja-Vu" ehhh? I loved the 3 pence cleanup, here in the States , Metal Detectorists find George 1,2 and 3 around old Colonial sites along the East Coast. As I watch your video, I look East out my window here in Ferndale ,WA. and watch the light snowfall, the first significant one this winter. I think about you and Nicola braving the winter weather to search for treasures. knowing how complex and diverse the detritus of the past is there. Our treasures are the Cascade Mountains with old growth forests and some COUGARS!,and on a clear day, I can see Mt. Baker looming up, thirty miles East of here. We don't have your layered history ,but growing up near the New Jersey pine barrens and the forgotten towns and forges pre and after the Revolution offered me a glimpse into our early days. Cheers, Rik Spector
Nicola recently pulled out a whole cod bottle from the Thames foreshore in the snow. That’s the first time, in all the mudlarking videos I’ve watched over the last year, that I’ve seen someone pull out a whole cod bottle. :)
Nicola: "Say it like you mean it!" LOL. There's so much in that little stream - love the lamp (it brushed up really well) but what a pity about the token, but still interesting! I thought the key was for a clock - but I learn something new all the time on your channel! Thanks Si!
Just discovered your channel this morning and I’ve been binge watching all day whilst crafting, my new favourite channel My Lovers! The innuendo is simply hilarious 😂
@@Sifinds well, I’m glad I found your channel. When I was a kid in Swansea, there was a disused quarry and tip and we used to go bottle hunting, I had some green square ones and ones with the ball stopper inside. Took me back and something I’d love to do again.
This video from start to finish was fantastic! Entertaining, educational, good photography and first class mudlarkers! You two are so fun to watch mudlarking together and hiding around! Keep putting out more of these! Si, your restoration party was exceptional! I’m an upcycler in the USA and loved how you cleaned up the lantern but left its patina. Such a great way to go with an old piece like that!!
I'd like that green fairy light even with the break. Just turn it toward the wall & "Bob's Your Uncle! "When we were younger & couldn't afford perfect things, we always did that ! No one was the wiser & it was still very pretty !

I really liked the part of this video with Nicola👍🏻. It felt "off the cuff". Very much like two friends just out having a look see around on a relaxing weekend. Loved it!!!. MAJOR beautiful upcycle on the lantern, Si 😲🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! The tiny signage you added is virtually undetectable... looks like it's been on it for years🤫😉. Well done, my friend 🙌🏻!!!

Blessings to you and your family and friends. Remain safe and healthy, Si. 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🤗🤭😘
So many lovely finds ......that's great to see you n the lovely Pipe Queen together. So many pipes ,WOW lovely bottles ( I wish for the green bottle 😊😊) . What a restoration...mind blowing.... I thought it wad a silver coin...but you broke my heart. .... Enjoyed the video wholly. Stay cool N HAPPY n Healthy and ENJOY With Love from SAM Guwahati Assam INDIA
I adore you both and these videos! ♥️🫶🏻 ! I’m going to try to find some treasure here in Michigan this summer- as y’all have inspired me! Thank you! 🇺🇸💝🧳
Love watching you when you both get together you have a great chemistry and always make fantastic informative videos. Thank you and of course I watch both of you separately also
Have t heard of that one before. Are you sure you’re not thinking of Henry VIII coins - his silver coins were so debased he was nicknamed ‘Copper nose’
Ever since I saw Nicola’s video of this trip I’ve been waiting to see how the lamp would turn out. Great job as always. I bet she’s sorry she gave it to you now. LOL
that lamp is fantastic, put in a yellow bulb and you could use it in the house. The tap key is cool, I think we have a couple like that, out at my granddads place, I should check, I know I've seen them out there. Your videos get better and better Si, really do enjoy them. Thanks again for sharing with us all, keep up the magic and Happy Valentines day, sending a hug and kiss from across the pond (not being fresh, just friendly) Teehee
A nice warm mudlark while we’re sitting in snow and ice in Texas! So many great finds. Your gifted lantern turned out brilliant! Nice to have a great mudlarking buddy, you two must have great fun and laughs! Thanks for the great day out. Stay safe. 🦋
It’s such a shame that so many people throw their unwanted junk in our waterways :( I absolutely love watching your videos and Nicolas too, so interesting finding all these historical items! I really would love to go mudlarking too, I’ll keep my eyes peeled in the Midlands for any opportunities 😊
That lamp is absolutely beautiful, I personally love the distressed aged look, like you said, if I wanted something new looking, I’d buy it from a shop!
What a treat ...nearly one full hour ....I made a cup of tea and not 1 but 2 crunchie bars ..well they are smaller these days, my excuse any way 🤣..and sat down to watch, loved what you did to the lamp ! ..I watched a show where they needed a piece of curved glass for a cabinet but it's so expensive , so they used perspex and heated it with a hairdryer so they could manipulate it to curve it ..they used crocodile clips and clipped to 2 pieces of wood to hold the perspex in position whilst it was hardening again so as to keep the curved shape! ...I love your idea with the bottle a really useful tip . Loved the coin and learned something new I had known idea coins were being forged so long ago ...I thought that was a 20th century thing ...amazing that they could do that with the tools they had then ..I guess it's so much easier now and you don't get the death penalty so ....great video sci ...hope you are well and I'm sure dying to get out with all your mudlarking friends when we get back to normal...take care ❤😊
Your light turned out spectacular...and I love the coin...so after hearing that there was a shortage of metal..is it of is it not a forgery? I love how you teach us history behind your finds... You my friend are certainly my most favorite you tuber... Thank you so very much for being the BEST...
Hello Si, thank you as always for the adventure, enjoyed the lamp restoration and explore. Thought of you today as we completed a tricky mud run! We will eventually have that mud run off challenge! Take care, Josie and Andy 😃
You could try a little purple paint mixed in with the black on the coin, it will help to reduce the orange a bit. Always go for the opposite colour on the colour wheel if you want to try to tone down a specific colour.
I don't know if this is a strange but when I watch your videos, because they are so long it's the perfect amount of time it takes to brush my hair. I like to be entertained while brushing it because it does take a really really long time (usually two videos tops) because the length. I know this is far beyond the intention of your videos but it does really help. 😊❤
@@Sifinds i think its about 34 inches (to my hip and im 5'5) and some days it feels like a blessing and a curse lol. Im not sure how ladies did it back in the day but its near time for a cut. 😂
Perfect Valentine's Day video. You show so much care and love towards your finds. That lamp restoration is amazing! I've enjoyed Pepsi out of bottles like that. That's not too telling of my advanced age 🤣
Another good method for cleaning silver is to dissolve washing soda crystals in a container of water place a piece of aluminium foil in the bottom of the container then put the silver in. It will create its own electrolysis and clean the silver.
Simon, make a paste of equal parts of salt and flour, and add lemon juice to make a loose paste. Smear it over the brass and copper, wrap in cling film, and allow to set for an hour or two. Then scrub with Scotch-Bright pads or steel wool. Repeat as needed. I think you will be amazed and pleased with results. I've done this with antique fire extinquishers, with excellent result.
Great video, You did a lovely job with the lamp. Some good pipe finds, You are the only people to have touched those, since the owners threw them away. It's great when a river is like that, It makes easy work...😁👍🏼👍🏼
What fun Si Finds! Adventures in low water. The lantern is Lovely and the Pipe Queen was happy as well. On some of my old coins I found detecting, I used brown or black shoe polish, paste wax polish. It holds up well and easily washed off with soap and water. Great find inna Muck Simon. A great vid on this snowy day in Pa. But only about 5 weeks until spring! Time Flies! Kind Thanks! Love, Light and Joy! DaveyJO in Pa.
Si, so many good parts to this video. 1st, yes, don't go executing crawfish 😂 You are a great artist and have a special way to explain how you work on items you find. 💞

Dear Simon, the starboard side is the right side with a green light and the port side is left with a red light. I think you may have it reversed. Thank you for a wonderful episode
Ah well 😂
Yep. Remember "Is there any of that red port left?" 😉
Glad you pointed it out. I was yelling at the screen, "Mate, you have it backwards!!" If the light were mounted on a mast, the red would be left/port.
He can mount it backwards on his ship and use the middle light for reversing 😝

The red and green glass is backward!!! Love the videos thanks for sharing your hobby with us all!
Lantern came out killer. String a bunch of those pipe stems vertically and make room dividers like the ones made of beads. They had them in the 60-70s. There's so many of them at that site. 👍
Love that idea
Yeah good idea!
I'd love a necklace made of them, in that fashion!!
I love how you do artfully bring lost items back to life Si!!! Loving the patina on this lantern!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fascinating all that perfect detail on this coin! Still a great find due to its age and the craftsmanship of those old forgers!! Amazing! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The water or wind sounds in the background keep coming up on closed captioning as "applause." You are getting a lot of encouragement. 😊
Haha! Brilliant 👏🏻

The look on your face when Nicola picks up the duck is priceless 🤣
Wow Simon you have gotten a lot of followers now. Fabulous. Enjoyed the cleanup. That lamp was awesome
That lamp is wonderful! The patina you left on it is perfect. Great job, Si!
Simon,
A bit of "Deja-Vu" ehhh?
I loved the 3 pence cleanup, here in the States , Metal Detectorists find George 1,2 and 3 around old Colonial sites along the East Coast.
As I watch your video, I look East out my window here in Ferndale ,WA. and watch the light snowfall, the first significant one this winter.
I think about you and Nicola braving the winter weather to search for treasures. knowing how complex and diverse the detritus of the past is there.
Our treasures are the Cascade Mountains with old growth forests and some COUGARS!,and on a clear day, I can see Mt. Baker looming up, thirty miles East of here.
We don't have your layered history ,but growing up near the New Jersey pine barrens and the forgotten towns and forges pre and after the Revolution
offered me a glimpse into our early days.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Beautiful piece, though?
This is a great Valentine's day video. How wonderful you gave each other a gift. Awww. Sweet.

George 111 forged coins were so common his nickname became 'copper knob' because the silver wore off the nose first.

Port is left red, starboard is right green. Lamp would face away from you. Loved watching you doing coin.
