Si! Aloha from Kauai- come hunt treasure here, man! I can hook you up with some private and secret places! Meanwhile I had to laugh thinking the old white pipe stems were lying everywhere back in the day just like those ever-loving vape stems are now! The diff being… these vape things are made of plastic and will NEVER go away 😢😢😢 We can only hope the future kids will look for vape stems (and have a way to get rid of them forever by then!) Again, aloha… Im a shell head beach comber of 60 years, and have been here on Kauai searching for 30… I keep it low tech. I invited Nicola a little while back and she wants to come, too! Lmk if you want me to help plan your trip 😊 Aloha, Christie Jones Thompson
Really Si your giving the old lady a heart attack. You are one of my distraction. I have breast cancer and watching you gives me hope and love your show. Thank you diane from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada
Dont scare me like that Si!!!! You're one of me favourites.I get some luck in the mud when im out with you. You help a disabled lady leave her living room. That sovereign is amazing. Well done you.
Wow! Bloody marvellous, Gold!!!! What a fantastic load of finds to end the year with. I wish you more "luck in the muck" for 2025 HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL ❤🎉💫🍾🥂🍻🍾🎊🎇
I feel the same way! Simon you can't scare us like that! I Love watching your show! All the way across the deep waters in the USA! Jesup Ga! Amazing Finds! Keep up with the Luck In The Muck!
Black and white, sleek as mink short hair. FREE rescue too. Freyja is her name. My husband hated cats all his life cause one bit him, but our 4 year old granddaughter convinced him to open his heart. He loves her already ❤😊
Enjoy your new kitty . We got a free black and white kitten week before Christmas as free please take it and Miss Ethel now rules the house and our hearts
Waaaay! 15+ years and you’ve got your sovereign! You could quit a happy man but it’s exactly that which fires the passion- that & best buds who share the passion. You bring us a great bit of history! Much gratitude & support from the PNW in the states!!! Congrats!
@@SifindsI absolutely enjoy your mudventures. I just knew you would never stop searching for treasures lol. Congratulations on your find. Much love from Ireland ✌️
Congratulations on your gold coin, Si! 🎉…anytime Cuffs (aka, the man in black) shows up, there’s bound to be something exciting to be found. Happy New Year to you and Cuffs!
Had to pause at 4:29 to somehow actively share in your joy Si! I am sitting in my bed, smiling like a lunatic, because you found a sweet coin I've never heard of. What a fantastic end to your 2024. Also, loved your Christmas day stream, I caught up on later. You're such a good egg, I don't even know how else to explain it lol.
I love watching your videos, this one was a belter , well done you. I especially like the clean up at the end and your upcycles, keep up the good work ❤❤
Si, you cant quit on us. We really need you to take us on more adventures. I love your videos . Wish u could be there. I lost my husband in july and your videos comfort me. Congratulations on your find. So happy for you.
So happy for your gold find!! And yes you scared us all with the thought of you quitting what you’re so good at!! You’re a character and we all love ya!! Keep on keeping on, Si!!
What’s this my nr 1 mudlarking prince, really really please don’t stop, i have been watching you for 7 years now brother and it’s been a great time with you 🎇🎇🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
Listen here Simon, who else am I going to complain about for not wearing gloves near rat urine or someone who is a magnet for unexploded bombs and guns? Keep blooding churning out the videos we love them.
I knew you were teasing us! Simon would never leave the treasures behind! I saw a show where they are digging some buried treasure that they never find for at least 10 years, and they find this piece of metal, and I look at it, and I’m like, oh that’s a button. They make an entire episode over finding a button, and you and Nic find them on the daily! Then here you are finding something actually valuable like a gold sovereign! Congratulations! Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person! ❤
Simón aparte de entretener nos enseñas cultura,y muestras a una persona auténtica valiosa y siempre de muy buen animo ,y con muchos dotes artísticos te queremos y valoramos ❤❤❤❤❤un abrazo ni lo cuestiones ya ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just found you, hope you don’t give up, but I know you mentioned you have a full time job and as you’re videos are such good quality it must take you ages to edit them. Whatever you decide, wishing you well.
So glad to hear your not quitting, your channel is always positive and uplifting , thanks so much for the hard work it takes to do your channel !!! Life is very tough for so many people these days !! My wife and I are struggling to raise two teenagers in this crazy ever changing world , one in college $$$$ so crazy expensive and another stubborn 17 year old , a senior in highschool , but I find peace and comfort in watching your channel !!! Thanks again Simone ✌️cheers
My grandfather found a sovereign in a river on the day I was born. Its date is 1890. I’ve had it put in a mount similar to yours and I love wearing it.
I was hoping when I saw last night the title of today’s video it was just click bait! I was worried all night! I’ve had a hard enough time waiting for a new video every two or three weeks! I really enjoy your outings and enjoy all your friends, it’s one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday. I live in Rhode Island in the USA and I do beach combing for sea glass and cool looking rocks that I tumble. Have a Happy New Year and I can’t wait to see what you find in 2025!
Cheers Val! It was a video I wanted everyone to see, plus it does have an element of truth. When you win your own personal World Cup, what’s left to win? But of course there’s lots more wins to enjoy! Happy New Year!
Si, only you can make that decision...and sometimes we need to put an end to things...to feel well in life. I have just done that myself ...but you will be missed, badly, thats for sure.❤❤❤
@@Sifindsthanks😊 most appreciated...you deliver great videos for us that have no such places to have fun in...and the history to that..and the nice things you make crafts with..amazing!
Really enjoyed watching the beautiful video with lots of lovely information and mind-blowing findings. Enjoy With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥️
Carnegie bought land in the Upper East side in 1898 hired a company to build and moved into a finished mansion in 1902. They went back and forth between Scotland and England.
I’ve watched you find the gold at least 10 times now!! Keep rewinding and rewatching!!! So pleased for you Si!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for all the epic mudventures in 2024, don’t quit! I’ll cry!! Plus you’re going to find a gold stater next and you need to catch that on camera 😉 Looking forward to seeing what luck in the much 2025 brings x x x
No because it’s not only hunting for treasures but history that can teach the future ! The Thames especially has so many secrets hidden in its murky depths and as our tools grow we will be able to build on the items more and more. Imagine finding a simple clay pipe and being able to trace the dna on it to find the modern day ancestors of the last person to have smoked it. Or finding an unseen traders token that opens up the ability to recreate their store based on a combination of knowledge and ai. History is such a massive book, with so many tiny fragments of it lost to time, that every item amazing people like you find offers us more information about not only the period it belonged to but the people who used it. Treasure to me goes beyond the coin hoards or the mystical metal hidden in a hole waiting for that final spade of soil to be removed so it can once again be shared with the world, it’s about the forgotten voices that had lives that were never important enough to fill the pages of books or alter the path of the future in such a way that they are remembered in school lessons for decades and centuries to follow. You are able to fill in the picture of what normal people were doing, drinking, eating even smoking! To me when I think about the many treasures lifted from the earth or mud the most precious items are probably the shoes, as each through its wear tells the story of its owner and invites the future to imagine walking in their long since perished footsteps. So no, not unless it is a serious risk to you and your health, should you give up, there is still so much more out their to find, to explode our minds and teach us, A bucket list of finds has no end, it just gets redrawn when one is successfully found! I am a tad passionate about this as you may see lol!❤ wishing you and everyone else in the comments a fantastic 2025 and keep making history folks x
As a kid we went to the beach. There was a huge storm the week before. I can remember it like it was yesterday the noise the glare of the sun. It was 30 years ago now. But a gold coin was sticking out of the sand right and the break. I was to scared to run in and grab it and when I went to get my grandfather we were to late it was gone. I had grandpa dig and dig and dig. No luck. I still feel so sad we missed it.
@@Sifinds Ohh no m8, wasn't suggesting you sell it, its a keeper for sure 🙂 golds at an all time high, set to only go higher too, save it, enjoy it, i have a small stack of gold myself, its not going anywhere either 🙂
I just wanted to cry tears of joy for you. I have been watching you for several years and have purchased things from you because you bring an old lady such joy here in the USA. Congratulations and God bless, no it is not time to quit 😍🥰
The shrapnel item is known as a driving band; it's the part that seals the gasses to the rear of the shell and is generally made of copper. Si, nice vid!
@ just so glad your not giving up mud larking! You rotten tease! Great finds on the field though…that sovereign! My word! What a brilliant find! Take care and stay safe with your puss cats! Love from me and my 18yr old lady who forgets she’s in her 80’s and wants to play like a kitten! I’m worn out! Happy New Year Si!! Keep up this magic trend! Helen & Willow 😻🐾🐾🌹👩🦳🥰👍☕️☕️xx
So glad you'll still invite us to "come" with you. I always learn a lot. I live in Boston, MA, USA. I regularly find coins, household items, clothing. In a 6 week period in 2009 I found 2 cell phones, 2 blank checks drawn on the same bank, an American passport and a 6th item which I've forgotten now. You just never know.
Si, I find old coppers like that with various markings here in the U.S. that we refer to as picker tokens. These tokens were handed out to farm field workers to keep a tally of what they brought in, bushels and bails, which were returned to the farmer for payment.
You have a great new year and next year will be even more luck in the muck. You bring a lot of joy to people and educate people to the history that’s out there you and Nicola White are fantastic keep on going
Wow! How exciting to find the gold sovereign? I love the set that Wendy put it in, simple and elegant to showcase the coin. Quite a nice little bundle of treasures for you and Cuffs. I love the footage of your kitties in the snow. I always think animals' reaction to snow is funny and interesting. Our little dog, a toy poodle, loved the snow. She would put her nose down and do an impression of a snow plow. But she hated the wind. Your cats seemed to have the same reaction of many cats. "What is this madness!" LOL! Hope you are having a great holiday season.
Currently watching this waiting for the ball to drop here in eastern NC!! Congratulations on your amazing find!!! What a way to end another amazing year of mudlarking! Many best wishes for the new year!!
I was just about to be completely depressed, Si 😱 Very, very happy to realize that you didn't mean it seriously 😰 Glad to have you here.. hello from Denmark 🌸
Don't stop Si. It will always be in you. When I lived in England I got into buying and selling antiques. 16 years ago I stopped and moved to the Netherlands. I still have itching to get back to it, but haven't started again. It was a relief not to get up at the cracking of dawn, or earlier, to go to an antiques fair and yet that beckons me again. Nobody can make you do it. If you enjoy it, carry on.
So happy for you! And so glad you haven't lost your passion for treasure and history hunting. You scared me there for a moment. Cheers from California and Happy New Year.
The coin with the 3 T's. Is actually a Roman numeral III. It's know as a Roman token/coin - BRONZE SPINTRIA - NUMBER III And it's believed they were used as payment for entry into Brothels or Roman baths too. Overall information is scarce as not a lot is known about these coins but regardless, it's Roman and has a pretty cool story
Really had us going😅! Tuned in from Sydney this morning for my fix of the larrikin adventures of Si and Co. and I’m thinking Noooo; can it be!? Are you really hanging up the boots without a fitting finale or world tour!?? I’m sure I echo the sentiment of many in really appreciating the effort put into sharing your life and Thames; delving into the history that literally leaves no stone unturned and also the wonderful camaraderie with your eclectic bunch of mates! Have a great New Year’s 🎉and glad you’ll be mudventuring in 2025 and beyond! Cheers!
Congratulations on that beautiful Sovereign, Si! Of course you’ll keep on because by now, you know it’s the hunt and not necessarily the target. That Sovereign is just the gravy. And hey, worthy dance! Get in!
Hi Si great find the sovereign a little tip with barreling machine stick to brass or copper in one load as if you put silver or nickel in with old copper pennys it will turn them copper coloured 😊also you can buy the end caps online and make your own barrels from plastic waste pipes bought at diy centres 😊
Dead chuffed you got your long awaited find Si and on Cuff's permission. It was long over due. Happy New Year and here's to many more spectacular finds in 2025! ❤
Ah Si! Tickled pink and giddy over your sovereign find! Beyond happy for you… Lots of great finds in this one! Stuff from all ages… a great permission. Can you go back?
That field was just giving up some really great history with the icing on the cake being that gold coin!!! Cuffs knows his stuff. Really hope to get out treasure hunting in 2025. Happy New year to you and thd cats.
Well done Si!! that coin is a corker find, and all the other finds were pretty cool too! The crotal bell is my favorite! Love those things! Wishing you a very happy and prosperous 2025 Si. Thank you for all of your vids throughout the years. Keep 'em coming ~ 🇦🇺❤Teresa

Si! Aloha from Kauai- come hunt treasure here, man! I can hook you up with some private and secret places!
Meanwhile I had to laugh thinking the old white pipe stems were lying everywhere back in the day just like those ever-loving vape stems are now! The diff being… these vape things are made of plastic and will NEVER go away 😢😢😢
We can only hope the future kids will look for vape stems (and have a way to get rid of them forever by then!)
Again, aloha… Im a shell head beach comber of 60 years, and have been here on Kauai searching for 30… I keep it low tech.
I invited Nicola a little while back and she wants to come, too!

Really Si your giving the old lady a heart attack. You are one of my distraction. I have breast cancer and watching you gives me hope and love your show. Thank you diane from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada
Quite right, Diane. Si should behave himself and not give us grannies palpitations. Hi from Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
The old foxes love the Si meister 😂
God bless you Diane I pray that get well.❤❤
I agree with you Diane. Trickster Si thankfully was not long lasting! Wishing you good health Diane. Susan from Exeter, ON.
Please, Diane, don't give up hope. Best wishes from another Diane and Breast Cancer survivor. Hang tough.

No because it’s not only hunting for treasures but history that can teach the future ! The Thames especially has so many secrets hidden in its murky depths and as our tools grow we will be able to build on the items more and more.

Treasure to me goes beyond the coin hoards or the mystical metal hidden in a hole waiting for that final spade of soil to be removed so it can once again be shared with the world, it’s about the forgotten voices that had lives that were never important enough to fill the pages of books or alter the path of the future in such a way that they are remembered in school lessons for decades and centuries to follow.

@ your allways welcome I hope one day once I get my leg sorted will have to come down and visit one of your meetings
We still have ours tap measure and we are in our 70s now
Awesome!!
The copper is smelted and might be a bit that's been removed with the slag. Mint video and especially the sovereign 👌💯💚💛❤️👍
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉 You definitely scared me with the thumbnail!!! So happy for you!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Hehe. Sorry, but I wanted to make sure y’all saw this one
Wow! How exciting to find the gold sovereign? I love the set that Wendy put it in, simple and elegant to showcase the coin. Quite a nice little bundle of treasures for you and Cuffs. I love the footage of your kitties in the snow. I always think animals' reaction to snow is funny and interesting. Our little dog, a toy poodle, loved the snow. She would put her nose down and do an impression of a snow plow. But she hated the wind. Your cats seemed to have the same reaction of many cats. "What is this madness!" LOL! Hope you are having a great holiday season.
Haha. Spot on Beth! 🐈⬛ 🐈
Yey, gold in the hole🎉🎉🎉hi from Em n Mario.. bravo!!
Cheers Emma n’ Mario!!

Wow really???? Cool
Good shout
Yeah I wondered that too
Omg, Si!!! My heart dropped!! Been watching u for at least 5 years. Dont plat with my ❤!!
I hate clickbait but this better be clickbait!! 😮
Hehe
I was just about to be completely depressed, Si 😱
Very, very happy to realize that you didn't mean it seriously 😰
Glad to have you here..
hello from Denmark 🌸
Don't stop Si. It will always be in you. When I lived in England I got into buying and selling antiques. 16 years ago I stopped and moved to the Netherlands. I still have itching to get back to it, but haven't started again. It was a relief not to get up at the cracking of dawn, or earlier, to go to an antiques fair and yet that beckons me again. Nobody can make you do it. If you enjoy it, carry on.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
So happy for you! And so glad you haven't lost your passion for treasure and history hunting. You scared me there for a moment. Cheers from California and Happy New Year.
The coin with the 3 T's. Is actually a Roman numeral III. It's know as a Roman token/coin - BRONZE SPINTRIA - NUMBER III
And it's believed they were used as payment for entry into Brothels or Roman baths too.
Overall information is scarce as not a lot is known about these coins but regardless, it's Roman and has a pretty cool story
That’s interesting I’d love to learn more so if there’s a website or something. Please share 👍🏻
What a great find Sy! Congratulations!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I bet you don’t 😆
You know me too well Roy
My husband is a bench jeweler. We use cola in our tumblers with the steel balls for the best shine/clean up
Defo Clickbait!!!
Really had us going😅! Tuned in from Sydney this morning for my fix of the larrikin adventures of Si and Co. and I’m thinking Noooo; can it be!? Are you really hanging up the boots without a fitting finale or world tour!?? I’m sure I echo the sentiment of many in really appreciating the effort put into sharing your life and Thames; delving into the history that literally leaves no stone unturned and also the wonderful camaraderie with your eclectic bunch of mates! Have a great New Year’s 🎉and glad you’ll be mudventuring in 2025 and beyond! Cheers!
P.s. Cracking Sovereign too mate! Definitely on the bucket list but mine’s still empty😢
Congratulations on that beautiful Sovereign, Si! Of course you’ll keep on because by now, you know it’s the hunt and not necessarily the target. That Sovereign is just the gravy. And hey, worthy dance! Get in!
Hi Si. Happy New Year. From Minnesota USA
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hi Si great find the sovereign a little tip with barreling machine stick to brass or copper in one load as if you put silver or nickel in with old copper pennys it will turn them copper coloured 😊also you can buy the end caps online and make your own barrels from plastic waste pipes bought at diy centres 😊
Congratulations on your beautiful find Si! Amazing! 😍
Congratulations Si! I think that's a permanent smile on your face.....so happy for you.
Fantastic boys you both deserve it so much, I am so delighted for you both. Absolutely well done.
Dead chuffed you got your long awaited find Si and on Cuff's permission. It was long over due. Happy New Year and here's to many more spectacular finds in 2025! ❤

Fab find mate. It took me ten years to find a gold coin, then went on to find four more, so keep going ! Happy new year.
That field was just giving up some really great history with the icing on the cake being that gold coin!!! Cuffs knows his stuff. Really hope to get out treasure hunting in 2025. Happy New year to you and thd cats.
