Thanks for watching! To see more amazing Mudlarking CLICK HERE th-cam.com/video/RCS8PF5zji0/w-d-xo.html 👍🏻🐾🧡
Looks like a Daimler hub cap. 🤘
My very thoughts.
Yes, Daimler and is more than likely the horn button, seeing as it was found in the middle of a steering wheel..
Beat me to it lol
Spot on. Well done! 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@cazzaa5012 I believe you are 100% correct.
I find it amazing that for how long you have been mudlarking (and how many mudlarkers there are) you find so many amazing things each time! Coming from Australia it is fascinating to the see the different layers of history uncovered in the same places.
Cheers Sam! It’s certainly getting harder but the finds are there for the persistent 👍🏻🐾🧡
The cap badge is amazing, well done si. X
It just shows people have been littering since the beginning of time 😅🤣
Thanks for sharing your historic knowledge of the finds. Love your videos 😉
Q
⁰is
Said it before Sean is an interesting knowledgeable man. Always enjoy your round ups Si and hearing the history about your finds xx
Thanks so much! Yes he really is Flint Eastwood 👍🏻🐾🧡
It's from a Daimler Si, they were similar to an old Jaguar xx
Spot on. They made beautiful cars to be fair
I thought as much.. I can see the logo in my head and that D fits.. Nice cars
Happy birthday Si!🎂🎈💐😊
Thanks so much! 👍🏻🐾🧡
That D wheel hub is a D for Daimler. Could be from a 1970s bus or lorry wheel centre... Alternatively, Daimler were a coach builder for car bodies too! Ah.. Just saw the end where you say that 😂
Or even a WW2 London Transport utility bus.
Cheers Rich! Great info! 👍🏻🐾🧡
These are my favorite episodes where you go down to the shore on your own! It's almost like I get to go with you! I am glad when you get to go with your fellow larkers, but these are my favs cause they are less distracting! Great finds today!
Always make my Sundays bright with Si Finds Much love from Louisiana 💖 💕
Cheers Mello! 👍🏻🐾🧡
When you found that S-African badge I thought first that now you found the twin to Tobias's find. The Daimler cap is a wonderful find. I bought my trowel from Graham in May and used it at the first time during my visit in May. I love it and it will follow me on 17th September again to the Thames foreshore in London. Have a great week Simon!
That’s awesome that you’ve got a Gander trowel! They are a thing of beauty, I’m sure they bring luck!
Hahahaha that space bit cracked me up !
After watching you show for several days I just realized the joynyou get by doing it. As a little kid 5 or six I was visiting all the pot makers in the village, I liked t pick up all the shards that had defects and were discarded. Some were good and usable other were almost finished but broke in the handling. The colors and the images (Renaissance stile were beautiful I cherished one in particola and kept it for years) one factory was world famous) one return to Italy on vacation I make sure I visit the factory and relive my childhood. 4:42 4:44 4:47
Absolutely love your adventures always great time great finds 😁😁😁👍👍💟
Cheers Mary!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I really like your site!! You do have a special touch for this mudlarking! See you on your next adventure!
nice finds
Thankyou for sharing.
Having Shawn is like having your own Phil Harding. How lucky you are!!!
Very! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Awesome findings really enjoyed, superb upcycle, we used this type of knife 🔪 to eat raw mango 🥭 😋 in childhood.
Today did the under privilege kids run , organized by Good People. Got a very good response from all India 🇮🇳 with a good donation to support the kids. Eve of Independence Day
Enjoy
With love from SAM
Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥ 🙏 🤝
Cheers Sam! Keep on running 🏃🏿♂️
My great grandfather from the East end of London fought in the Boer war...Great find Si!
Wowza! Big respect
That intercom - I’m thinking someone wanted to connect with the Thames foreshore. Very pretty ring. Awesome cap badge. An umbrella slide. Lovely penny coin, looks newish. Great to see/hear Shawn. Fantastic work on the penknife.
Cheers Coni, if only it were gold! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Fab finds... finally got my permit so hope to get to the Thames this summer yay
Whoop hurry before the rain comes. Lol
You and Nicola individually are fantastic but together pure magic!
Cheers Shirley 👍🏻🐾🧡
So nice to see you on the foreshore, my spying skills were lousy today, I am glad yours were better. Awesome cap badge! Knives came out great. New trowel is awesome.
Thanks Debs! Let’s hope it brings me luck in that there mud 👍🏻🐾🧡
Lovely little knifes you found😊
And i loved the fossil and the witchstone! I like stuff that i abit mystical🧚♀️
Thanks for another great video Si 💕
Cheers Elin! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I’m usually excited to see flint finds but like Sean said it’s a boring tool Si 😜🍻
Hahaha. Love it 😂
I love the upcycle of the little knife- you are so creative!
Thanks so much! Who’d have thought such a cute knife was hiding under all that crud
Great finds
That cap badge is gorgeous, absolutely love it. The pen knives came up a treat too. Beautifully filmed too as always Si. Thank you for taking us along xx Teresa 🇦🇺❤
Cheers Teresa 👍🏻🐾🧡
Trowel Twins! That have me a good chuckle!
When I see the Canadian geese, I feel like I'm there with you, great finds Si, keep mudlarking as you never know what you'll find. The flint was rather nice, weird what you can find. Till next time. 🐘🌞🍁🇨🇦👍
Cheers Marion, they are lovely animals! Free the Bees!
The “Cobra Chickens” seem to be everywhere in the world!! 🪶😂👋🏼🇨🇦
Love how you fixed the pen knife ! Stay safe and cool in this heat !
Cheers Sandy. It’s bleedin’ hot here right now 👍🏻🐾🧡
Not seen the whole video yet, but the cap badge could not have been worn in the battles suggested as it mentions 1899-1902 on the badge its self so I would expect it was made after the second boer War.
Fair point, let’s say they the person who wore it saw one of those battles
Exactly 😁
The style on the D made me think of Daimler and what a wonderful series of finds this time. Thank you.
You got it!! Well done 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hi Si! Every time you find a piece of cutlery, you optimistically look for hallmarks in the hope that it's silver. I want to ask, have you ever actually found a silver spoon - or fork or knife?? Or are you still waiting for your very first one? Just love your videos, and recently became a patreon - please keep up the good work!
Hi Di! Thank you so much for becoming a Patreon! It means the world to me and puts ‘gas in my tank’ to keep on larking longer and further. I have found a few silver spoons, but they are pretty rare. In fact Cuffs found one on a recent bottle dig, the video I’m yet to edit and publish. Thanks so much for the support! 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds Haha..first time I've heard a beer being described as 'gas in my tank!' 😆
Great videos as always . Love the stories behind the finds !
I love your sense of humor!
😂
Daimler, My grandad used to drive a Daimler for Hrdley Newman of Newman Industries in Yate. He would often drive him to the South of France with my grandmother acting as Nanny to his small children x
omg, the brass blade flying across the universe…😂
It bloody flew!! Haha Never found it 😂
That’s hilarious an intercom someone chucked in the river
Whoa, what...a No Fear Pittsburgh Steeler shirt?! awesome Sci, great variety today, tyvm from Pennsylvania.
Cheers Cindy! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Amazing fossil, lovely finds
Cheers Cat 👍🏻🐾🧡
Is the round metal plaque or wheel boss possibly off an old Daimler car Si ?.......Just got 3/4 way through the video and found out it was :) That'll teach me to watch till the end before commenting in future, nice finds , some different things to what usually turn up. I love the South African badge , quite a rare find I should imagine, Thanks again Si for taking us along
Yes Barbara you got it right!! Well done! They made some stunning cars, real beauties
It is true, so hooked on Si Finds mudlarking escapades! Cap badge is awesome & so was the flint! Have a great week!
Cheers Thelka! Thanks so much for the support 👍🏻🐾🧡
So much enjoyed this episode, very impressive you can see the shape and identify an object that is totally encrusted with crusty stuff. That cap badge is the coolest cap badge I've seen on your channel. (But aren't they all?) Love the scraper and your interview with Sean. As much as I love the mudlarking part, your clean-ups are always inspiring.👍
Thanks Liz! Modest finds, but they hold so many stories!!
It's "whoa," not "woha." Geez, you're freaking British, not a colonial twit like me.
It’s Hell of a party not Hellava
@@Sifinds Good one.
The parasol slide would be so pretty cleaned up with a Thames bead or garnet in the middle. Nice pendant.
Nice idea!!
Love the knives
Si, you are just such a creative guy. The video and music always impresses me. Thank you.💕🌈💕
Thanks so much, really appreciate that!
Nice trowl!
Si, that's the "D" style that Daimler use for their cars. Good video, again, BTW
Cheers Roger
love your videos and seeing all the finds you find
Cheers Julie! 👍🏻🐾🧡
the automobile badge is Daimler England. It was the oldest car company in England.
So thrilled that you found a badge connected to South Africa as that's where i follow you from and I always hold thumbs that you find something with a SA connection - Great find Si !
No way - so cool 👍🏻🐾🧡
Another amazing video adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
My pleasure! Thanks for tagging along 👍🏻🐾🧡
7:18 I was curious about that bottle actually
Is it a cap badge or a campaign metal? Cap badges usually identify the regiment and campaign metals usually identify the geographic location of a battle.
Yeah you could be right, there’s limited info about it that I could find
Great finds Si , love watching your videos ♥️👍
That badge is an extremely interesting find for me. I’m Afrikaans, so my ancestors would have actually been fighting against the person who was wearing that badge 😅 but it’s still amazing to see an object from that period. All I’ve ever had were stories of my family, some of them very tragic unfortunately, but seeing objects from that time really connect me to those stories.
Keep up the awesome work, Si!
Hi Si, Daimler maybe! Cheers Will.
Aloha From Kauai ...heard you folks have been getting lots of rain over there in London. ☔️ hope the rain can wash som3 stuff up for you.
Loved your finds today. The cap medal from South Africa is amazing 😊💕🇺🇸
Cheers Chez! Yes I’m well happy with that! 👍🏻🐾🧡
That cap badge from the Boer war was a very interesting and rare find Si, and in near pristine condition! Can’t ask for more. Enjoyed your research about that regiment. Good skills in renovating that little penknife, very handy.
Cheers Guys! 👍🏻🐾🧡
As always a great video! Ty for sharing your larking with us. I cant believe you spotted that flint multitool!!! Great Job Simon!!
Cheers Michelle! I’m amazed too! Haha
That trowel looks too beautiful to spoil in the mud and gravel! l'd be tempted to frame it!
Haha, they are stunning, but they contain magic power that bring luck - like a toy - they should be played with 👍🏻🐾🧡
Cracking hunt this one mate, some top notch finds, too. Love seeing the restoration work - well worth it and some great results in the end. Nice one :D
Cheers pal!!
Si when you come across what looks like silver cutlery, there were several made with stainless blades however the handles would be sterling and are marked on the handle . Just in case you didn’t know
Cheers Julie
Don’t think you in the running for an appearance on “forged in fire” Any time soon 🤣
When I was in college, the shop teacher used to tell us about, usually gory, accidents in the shop as lessons to be careful. He said that he was once showing a class how to use the table saw and his upper denture dropped out of his mouth, hit the blade with a loud “Ping” and smashed, sending bits of it everywhere, including into the crowd of horrified students. My favourite of his stories.
When he announced a surprise bonus question on the final exam, we joked that it was “Name 5 ways you can injure yourself in the shop while using a pencil”.
Hahaha! Bet that was hilarious! I keep some of the ‘cock-ups’ in because I like to encourage people to be prepared to fail, and keep trying. I never did find that bit of brass 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds And you still managed to make a useful little knife with the aluminium blade!
The second cartridge was at Lake City 308 possibly 76.2 x 51 Shell casing
Great SA find. I have friends there . All of the finds are just wonderful. You’re so talented and creative. Love the upcycled you do. Thank You.
Cheers Helen 👍🏻🐾🧡
Daimler car hub cap I think
it's funny to me that after I saw my first of your hovercraft vids I am conditioned to think that is what we are doing when I har the beep bop music.
Haha, same music different hunts
A really great video Si. I loved the up cycling and restoration of the knife and I like the Daimlere cap you found. Cheers and looking forward to next week.
Yay! On the Thames foreshore. A South African cap badge. (Seems like you have been experiencing South African weather! ) That is a find Simon. Enjoyed all your finds. Thank you! Enjoyed being transported back in time. So interesting. Hope you are well and it looks like a cooler day there. Best regards to you from South Africa 👋🇿🇦 haha! Guessed D for Daimler 💪
Hey Georgie thanks so much for the kind words. Si 👍🏻🐾🧡
Loved the cap badge and the history! I am not a motor head but I knew the Daimler cap from watching Alex Archbold's TH-cam channel Curiosity Inc. He is restoring a Daimler that the Queen toured in Canada in!! Amazing how learning something on one channel can connect to another! Keep up the great videos! Watching from Minnesota, USA. 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome!!!
I watch his channel as well! Here in Pensacola, FL! I was so excited when he panned down the grille and I saw that Tudor Rose. I sure wish I could be mudlarking in England! But, it's a heck of a commute to see my grandson.
Just being nosy, but if you have a partner, do they lark with you? If not, how do they feel about the time spend on your larks?
If not I’ll volunteer 😂
More great finds. TFS Cheers 🍻
Cheers Penny! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hello 👋 from New York USA you Found Some Amazing Finds my Favorite Definitely Was the the Knifes 🔪 you did an amazing job on the restoration on the Little Pocket Knife 🔪 Thank you for Bringing me Along with you I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊
Cheers Tarra! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Then the flint piece is the pocket knife of the time. Obviously it has survived the centuries best.
Very true! 👍🏻🐾🧡
So, I think a steel guitar pick would save your thumb, and finger nails. They retouched than fingernails, and could be customized to your hands. Just a thought, trying to save your hands for more beautiful art!! Love your channel!!👍❤
Thanks Kathi. I’ll be fine x
Nice job on the blade renew!
Cheers pal! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The badge is from the 95th riffles on Sharpe or something very similar,,🇬🇧
That fossil is absolutely beautiful.
The 'D' thing appears to be part of a hub cap from a Daimler Sovereign 420, Daimler V8 260, Daimler DS420 or possibly other models that would have been manufactured between 1966 and 1992 (reference eBay UK item number 124480932922). I don't think the wheel that it was next to is related as cars tended to have large steering wheels back then to overcome the lack of power steering or as a hold over from when that was the case in previous decades.
11:50 - Giant Duck Destroys London....
They couldn’t salvage any buildings… too many quacks 😲🍻
Haha
Yay! An Accy NORI brick! Made my week. 😀
Haha 🧱
Great finds 👍🏻 Nice hoodie you got there 👣🧡 x
Cheers Essie 👍🏻🐾🧡
knowing the persecution of boer farmers in s.a. in the last years and now the wef nitrogen war of farmers in european countries. that badge is prophetic!
I was thinking D for Daimler. I love all the history you add along the way. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Susannah 👍🏻🐾🧡
Your channel is so awesome! That whole island is one giant archeological site. I love England. I'd love to visit one day. The history there is so rich and fascinating. Good luck from Texas!!
Cheers Ben! 👍🏻🐾🧡
It's for a umbrella I believe
Spot on
The D badge you found reminds me of the old Datsun badges that used to be in the centre of a steering wheel….love watching your mud larking videos and finds…wish I knew somewhere near where I live that I could go mud larking…
Cheers Gaynor, get in the rivers for a wade, you’ll never know what you migh find, especially in summer!
Daimler
@@Sifinds definitely daimler
@@Sifinds Its off a Daimler. They were bought by Jaguar in 1960. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler_Company
I think you’ll find that the cap badge inscription “South Africa” is a regimental battle honour and did not see service there.
Great video as usual Si 🔴⚪🔵
Thank you so much for continuing to do what you do in this heat!!!
It's been to hot for for me to go out so thank you 😁 I always love your vids, the finding, the clean ups and the upcycles! , I have learnt so much from watching you and seeing what to look for. I am definitely hooked!!
😂 😂
The fossil Is so beautiful, thanks to your last echinoid find I saw I managed to find my own! A little incomplete but... I wouldn't have found it or my pipe and stem without watching you first. 😎
So thank you loads 👍😁
Well that’s amazing!! Well done you! Appreciate your comment 👍🏻🐾🧡
The cartridge case is an American 30.06 not a .303 case. The .303 has a lipped base rim the 30.06 doesn't. Very nice finds.
great finds always a pleasure watching you lark thank you
Cheers Tessa. Appreciate that!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The D badge could be a Daimler steering wheel.
Spot on! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I loved seeing you re-purpose that knife by crafting a new blade.
Thanks so much! It was too cute not to
Appreciate all your hard work. Love your channel Si. Thanks
