Bring your food scraps to those birds?
The stuff you just throw away.
They might repay you by showing you where to look?
If you believe in reincarnation.....then MAYBE all you pay forward comes back to you in your next life.
The HINDUS say that the chance of being reincarnated as a HUMAN BEING
is the same chance as a sea turtle bobbing up it's head up into a life preserver.
I guess we will find out!
Then, supposedly the HINDUS say, once you have reached "enlightenment" you don't have to come back to this world again....to live ANY life and all!
With all it's sufferings over and over again as a snail or a bird or a frog or a monkey.
YOU ARE OFFICIALLY OFF THE WHEEL OF REINCARNATION
and live in Nirvana forever?
Once you have achieved enlightenment as a human.
Very different from Christianity or Judaism.
Christianity you go to heaven if you are good.
Judaism....Just one life...no hell no haven.
Thanks Si, I can't understand how I missed this super video! There's always a special camaraderie between you and Sean. The grotesque was interesting and all the other great finds. I've been to Chelmsford Cathedral a few times! x
You could call your grotesque Cyclops, but spell it Siclops as he has one eye and he belongs to you.
Another great video, always fascinating to watch!
Ha! 'Siclops'!😄
I love it!! Yes….👏🏼👏🏼😂
Brilliant!
@@Sifinds thanks! Best wishes from Ireland, hope all is well with you and the two beautiful cats. 😊
Sean has his shirt on. Sensible.
That stone head is just mind blowing! You guys are so lucky to be able find such strange and wonderful things from long ago. Thanks for the journey!
We are! Cheers Mudlover!
I am telling you that I really needed this delightful distraction today. It’s been rough! From Tennessee USA
Same. Took me 3 times to get through the entire video. Very somber around my house in Portland Oregon
@@terrylschumacher-levy5150 my heart is with you guys..! Thanks for watching.
@@seanwatcham8308 thanks Sean. Always a pleasure 😃
Hope you feel better soon matey
That upcycle at the end is great! Another interesting treasure hunt! Thank You
@@toadelevator Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
He looks like a ‘Lead Ned’ to me.
Love your videos and how you interact with everyone. Such a good natured person. After seeing you with Nicola and the Peaky Dippers I never realized how tall you actually are. Crack on mate.
@@imawehole Cheers Mudlover! Yes 6ft 1” of love!
@@Sifinds And cute as a button. 😘
Howdy Si,I wanted to commend you for the awesome merchandise you produced for Nicola. The logo you created for said merchandise is outstanding work, you are very gifted.Bless you brother for your kindness and selflessness.✌️👍❤️
Ah thanks so much Stuart - appreciate that my mudloving friend!
You two absolutely crack me up , 😂 you're so funny I loved this vid some of your finds very interesting loved the kitchenalia and the pearls ❤
@@cksiredower8965 Cheers Claire x
The little blokes head you found is really amazing. I get so happy when Si finds something and even happier when old matey Sean finds something because we dont see him every week.The upcycle is amazing as always you are so creative. Its Johnny Depp.
Thanks so much!!
Loved this ❤️ Trips out with you and Sean are always epic!!
@@Beth_D Cheers Beth 👍🏻🐾🧡
Ahh your grotesque was amazing! Love em! Your very skilled to see the image in a block of old root wood!
Thanks Ash (It was a melted bottle - cool huh)
@@Sifinds oh it was?! Holy heck! Looks like wood! Even more amazing!
Si, you are so talented. I would love to see more of your creations.
Leeches are still use, particularly in post trauma surgery like amputation reattachment. They are kept in a very specific and sterile fashion.
Yes I have learned that as well. Apparently leeches are very good when doctors are doing skin grafts, they are placed very precisely, any infection that is developing is drained by the leeches and they draw blood which in turn heals the skin graft.
@@marthaanderson2656 so interesting!
Also, maggots are used in fighting infected wounds where you can`t use antibiotics.
They only eat the dead tissue of the wound and leaves the rest, so as to help your body to heal up faster without having to fight an lethal infection as well.
Kreepy, but cool. 😳👍
I was going to comment the same thing. I’m a nurse and I’ve seen them used in the ICU. ☺️
Medical maggots or maggot therapy is still used for wound cleaning, you just can't beat nature sometimes 😋
Si, I do think you are one of the most delightful, inventive, interesting persons I have ever had the pleasure to find on RUclips and I hope you continue to intrigue us with your wonderful finds! I thought Hilton the Hideous would be a good name for your protector grotesque. Cheers and I will continue to watch and be entertained! Your sort of mum-from-the-States, Jacki
@@jackicser6823 aw thanks so much Jacki! I’d like an American Mom! 🇺🇸
I so love seeing Daisy n Nelly. Some wonderful finds,especially the marble n necklace. The upcycle was amazing too Si. Keep safe.
I think the 'picture frame' thing is the surround for a victorian hand mirror, which would have been part of a matching set with a brush and comb. I think this because I have a set similar.
@@cynthiaberry3553 Cool!!
Si, your talent never ceases to amaze me!!!!!! Please tell Sean congratulations on his awesome grotesque find!!!! ❤
Cheers Lark - i will!
Fun fact, leeches are still used in modern medicine, there is a farm in Wales that supplies 60,000 medicinal leeches to the NHS and other healthcare providers every year.
I was going to say the same thing! they use them to eat away dead skin and infected skin all over the world.
😮 WHAT???
@@terrylschumacher-levy5150 Leeches, Terry, medical grade leeches.
coooooooool.....!
Fun video! I love how your cat likes to respond when you talk to him. Your cats are beautiful. 🌵🐕🇺🇸
Thanks matey👍🏻🐾🧡
Leeches are still used during operations, when someone has limpamputated in an accident, the leeches keep the arteries /blood vessels clean and the success-rate of the operation to rejoin the limp goes up.
Really fun video to watch, some historical facts and really creative at the end
Watching from Mexico
That stone head find was fab and your created one as well. Love your cats!
@@restlesssoul5853 Cheers Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
When i was nursing we used leeches and maggots . The leeches were used when fingers or toes were reattatched to establish blood flow. Leeches secrete an anti clotting agent when they attatch and its this that they are primarily used for but also if the blood is pooling and unable to return to the main circularity system. I didnt mind the leeches so much , but the maggots turned my stomach. They were used when there was necrotic or desiccated tissue needed to be removed but was either too superficial or surrounding specialist tissue like nerves. The maggots only ate the dead tissue.
Also a nurse.The maggots l see are uninvited,but clean the wound none the less.The wounds are usually smelly due to infection,but when you get the dirty dressing off and clean up,it's so satisfying.
Some species apparently eat healthy tissue,which is another reason to control their use
Very interesting thanks!!
Its funny how you get themes of the day .. all your kitchen equipment, hilarious ... and I reckon today was also warding off evil spirits items, finding the evil eye, and a grotesque 😮 (which I think were for that purpose) ... love the lark and the upcycle. Thanks Si and Sean. ❤
You & Sean = fun & hilarious. Can't for y'all to go gold panning!
Hi Nelly & Daisy. I vote for Mr. Muddy Boggs
Thank you Sean for wearing your life jacket this time it only takes a second for tragedy to happen, no matter how experienced you are
Yesh Sean ! It even looks like him in a way. Always smiling and jolly always a good luck charm.
Always a joy to spend time with you and your friends.❤❤❤
@@sadielevens1144 Cheers Sadie 👍🏻🐾🧡
No one's stealing your tresures now Si with that scary grotesque at the door. The gnome head that Sean found was fantastically grotesque as well! 😊
Cheers Mudlover!
Hi Simon and Sean, nice find Sean on the stone face piece. Simon great upcycle on grotesque. Joyce ❤️🙏🇺🇸
I love Nelson and Daisy. Ive been a fan for several years and just enjoy each of ur vids!
A bit late on my comment but I just had to say how much I love when you and Sean get together, you two are so funny it always makes my day 😂😂 AND that incredible grotesque ! Now that's really luckinthemuck, cheers to Sean, amazing treasure. Great upcycle Si, your grotesque is well, truly grotesque, perfect ! Thank you and the kitties, and Sean, of course for another funny and interesting lark, you always make my day better ! Hugs 🥰🥰 xx
@@susanroller6905 Cheers Susan👍🏻🐾🧡
I love your videos so much! Love your gross statue and especially your kitty! ❤❤❤
That upcycle is incredibly amazing 🤩
Awesome video, thanks for bringing us along 👏🙏❤️
your creativity with transformations never ceases to entertain and amaze. quite the talent.
Entertaining video Simon with some great finds. I especially like the marble. Your grotesque is very creative and will certainly keep unwanted visitors away. Looking forward to your next video. Have a great week and keep safe. 😊🇨🇦
“Lead Meddler” 😉
Love the adventurous outings on kayaks. You two are a cheeky pair. 😅
Yes we are. Cheers Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
Very impressed that you both have kayaks. Good job Si and Sean
Another fabulous art piece! You you bringing mudlarking to a whole new level! ❤ ❤🇺🇸
Clever Si you've done it again. A very spooky man. Love all your craft work. From a "crafty" 80 Yr lady in her box room full of fabric & bits n bobs 😊❤
As a child, it aggravated me to get glass marbles because they weren't agate. Now I you admire them and laugh a little.
You can make very nice wind chimes with the old cutlery.
Even the ones that are plate have a wonderful sound. You flatten the spoons and can hang them from a flattened fork whose tines curled like hooks. Drill a few holes in the handles to be suspended with fishing line.
I have one and it has a very pleasant sound.
Great episode as always. I miss home so it's great to hear you two messing about. Your Grotesque is awesome too !❤
I thought he looked like a fosilized fox........so the fox pirate....or the aye ring,......... as a door entry 😮😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊 ........you are very artistic with your odd finds.....well done...❤❤❤❤
Si you never disappoint! Always fun and interesting videos. You are such a good guy! Love your sense of humor. Donna northern Michigan USA
Great Adventure, Cheers, Si - love thee Grotesques - can't think of a name @ the mo... (well, that you could use!!)
You are very talented Simon, I love the creations you make from your finds!
Gnometastic finds lads! Evil eyes are called Mati here in Cyprus - I make crochet ones 🙂- they are given to ward off evil and for luck, especially at weddings & christenings. Love your grotesque, a great upcycle as always Si. 🐾🐾😎
You are so creative, Si! Love your grotesque you made!
@@KayInMaine thanks so much!
Great adventure. Sean is a good buddy… I enjoy his silly side and his knowledge. Thanks for the edu bit on grotesques vs gargoyles! I’ve always been intrigued if a bit put off by both. Somehow a gargoyle being a roof spout brings a bit of practicality and tones the weirdness down a bit. Give Nelson and Daisy a proper scratch for me!
Other folks have peobably memtioned this too, but the square necklace thing (10:00) instantly made me think of a scapular. A scapular is a Catholic devotional item that goes around the shoulders neck.
That was such fun 🙏🏻 loved all the kichenalia ! I think the wonderful medieval head should be called Archibald ( a popular medieval name) I especially love your creativity 🙏🏻
Hey Si, i made a little opening in my shed for my cat to go in & made her a high up bed that i showed her how to jump up onto, she would spend most of the summer in there, she loved it ! i had to take her food & water out there !
I found an amazing treasure today,it was this channel and glad i did,love the finds you guys find,i am addicted to this channel. Thanks for sharing, a new happy subscriber.
@@meldavis1877 Welcome to the ‘mudhouse’ mel!!
Excellent upcycle! Thanks for the fun video. I appreciate all your hard work!
You are very creative Si! ❤
Love your grotesque and the slate tablet ❤ very clever upcycle 🤩
@@kalaysia77 Cheers Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
Thank You All For Doing What You Do Finding All Of Treasures I Really Enjoy watching Your Videos
29:50 " Im waving at him over there " 31:50 Probably the only time you will see a bloke on YT getting a Pearl Necklace onya Sean. A Pearl Necklace and Head in the same day outstanding Mudlarking young man.
Naughty!
I love how you vary your little adventures, Si! Sean is always fun to have along too. That pearl chain thing turned out pretty nice! Sean said it might be “modern crap” whilst I thought it was “old crap”. We were both wrong! Do ya want a made up name for the gargoyle or a real name, like SeanSi? Or clogburt? Lovely day out for UA ALL! C u soon! 😊❤️
Thank you Simon and Sean. Fantastic mud adventure. Love your grotesque Si, very scary and very cool. Cheers.
@@lovelyskull3483 Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Those cats are so precious. Lots of cool finds!
Love Siclops, utterly charming. Great marble! All kinds goodies.
Love all the pots and pans you found today.Just to let you know the outlet of water going into the Thames is the end of the Wandle, which you mentioned in a Happy Birthday message to me in February. Just thought I would let you know. That messages still makes me laugh. Thank you. 😂
yes .. correct the end of the Wandle.!!! 😍👍 well spotted.!
@@suec1972 Cheers Sue
You are sooooo creative with your finds! I think he needs a Thames Garnet as his pupil in the blue bead .....carry on ! Thank you ***
A wonderful mudlarking trip! Love you grotesque 💙 Very cool! Oh! Great job modeling for Nicolet 😅
Superb..! Love it. Your Grotesque is great mate.! Proper amazing day we had and a great video to mark the occasion. Cheers dude..! Keep up the fantastic work.
Sean,you & Si are so fun together,all the Mudlarks have a great sense of humor !
Beautiful cats Si. Great finds and love the Grotesque
Some great finds today, an awesome upcycle and lots of fun (and education) along the way. Thank you. Name suggestion for Sean's incredible find: Flumen Caput
Love your videos with Sean...
Excellent video. I really enjoyed that. Absolutely live the "Grotesque" . I think "Stonie" is a nice name. 😊
I am amazed at how many bags of bolts that are supposed to be used to secure it to a floor is found in the safes. That is the first thing I did when I bought mine was to secure it to the floor. It would take the incredible hulk to pull it off the floor 💪. Love the grotesque you came across.
my bucket list...mud larkin i the Thames... great vid Si - If you find your way to Norway, in Trondheim they have the worlds nothern cathedral, and on -Nidarosdomen- (the cathedral) you find a lot of this heads... The great viking, Harald Hårfagre. (Herold whith the hear) buildt this cathedral, and is burrid under it... (sorry for my broken engelish)
The grotesque you made is very cool! Suggested name: “Droford, Protector of Larks” after the water bottle your found. Sean’s stone head could be named “The Muddy Mime, Keeper of Spirits”
@@skp8738 love it! Great suggestion thank you Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
That little guy is awesome! Very creative you are!
Getting oil lubed up? Quite possibly the funniest thing I’ve heard!
Great stuff brightening my day as usual.
@@Skeptic-Professor Lol thanks prof!!
Great vid, as always. I think Trevor is amazing 😂😂
Woo Hoo! King of Craftyness strikes again with a groovy grotesque ghoulie! 😆👍👑❤
A Madeye Muddy with that Harry Potter sorting hat! 😁😄 Sean's grotesque is really cool.😎 Have a great week 😊❤
Your one eyed wizard grotesque is great!A suggestion someday when you have time would be a stand for the round bottom bottles you find,made of clay,driftwood,other finds,just a thought,and I figured I needed another comment to add to my others today!❤
Glad Sean has found his life jacket, great video as per usual 👏
Si a great extra step with your grotesque, is to brush it over with a layer of resin, it would really make it pop, and wood loves resin, you need the fine stuff though can’t remember the brand of mine but look for the one for casting jewellery it sets quicker and will not be sticky on a thin coat 😊
15:35 happy camper! Neat
You have a brilliant imagination, very talented upcycle!
Fascinating and informative video, really enjoyed it !
The character you made Si is pretty in a fun way. The stone figure Sean found is an amazing find! Just arrived back from Dublin, I found one pretty nail and a piece of green pottery from the foreshore there, nothing else around. Have a good weekend to come!
@@FindsByPirjo Cheers! Much luck in the muck to you too!
Leeches, maggots, dead 🦀… I love it when you and Sean pair up! 😂 Your grotesque is AWESOME! What about calling him Arrrgus. (He’s very pirate-like! 🏴☠️. Thanks for all you do Si, love from California--hey! What was the story on the ship called California?
Fred the Head & Dead-Eye Dick
Thanks Si & Sean, a fun day with loads of luck in the muck.
Any plans yet for another EPIC search for gold up north this year?
Cheers, Pat/ Yukon
Your handmade hat was Amazing, you're got skills . Great content.
That face turned out wonderfuly.good finds. Nice video. From shirley from new Bern, north carolina u.s.a ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮🎉🎉🎉😅😊😊
😍😍Your grotesque is Amazing!! He needs a really good name not just something thrown out there.
How about “Lead Kelly” for the grotesque… a play on the name “Ned Kelly” the Australian outlaw who had a mask made of metal … look him up
Awesome suggestion! Cheers Mudlover!
Ned Kelly is a national treasure
Love the grotesque! Simon you are so talented!
Absolutely love Sean's Gargoyle/Grotesque, best find ever, wish I had it! The name Elvin came to me! Also, those pearls are gorgeous!!
@@jan208 Agreed! Cheers Jan! 👍🏻🐾🧡
At 9:52,you found a kitab ,it’s an Ethiopian amulet,it contains a bit of Coptic Christian text,this is a river gift.
I own a nice collection of Kitab amulets ,the contents must stay concealed.
Sean reminds me of Rod Stewart! Another great video guys 😊
Amazing stone head find. One of my top favorite finds from you guys. Name suggestion: Renatus.. Latin for rebirth.
@@RadonCrow Great suggestion! Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
In the early 60’s I went to an old Church School and we used lined slates with a a wooden border to learn our letters. We used chalk.
Si, i love your cats. They are delightfully curious.
I enjoyed your video Si. You both found some interesting historical items. You did a scary man up cycle your very talented. I’m not so sure I like it or don’t like it. Sorry just being honest. I guess it’s good for Halloween though. Have a fun week Si ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
