Do you let your local PAS (portable antiquities scheme) officer know about your finds? If not...please do. Important historical items are often found and sold on the black market, never to be seen again. Cheers.
The Papua New Guinea fishermen use the shell with the hole as weights on bottom of fishing nets to weight the bottom down in the water.
I know that some snails "drill" holes in mollusk shells to get at the meat, but that square hole is definitely of some other origin
Hey Simon! Love the video, love the way the buttons came out! I do a lot of drilling of glass and shell. The dust created from drilling and sanding glass and shell is very hazardous to your health...your lungs. Sweeping and walking through just puts more in the air. To avoid the dust in your environment for you to breath in you can drill under water and sand with wet/dry sandpaper with water. It acts as a filter, trapping the dust and making it easier and safer to dispose of. A particulate respirator can’t hurt 👍🏼. Cheers! And keep your wonderful videos coming! ❤️
Simon,you are allways the best with the camera .You don't wave the camera all around, and make us
You're changing history, we're lucky to be going along for the ride. Keep us updated.

Amazing that the pewter cup handle is still intact. That's so cool to see.
Huge congratulations on your finds, and my utmost respect for how you conduct, record and share them with the proper organisations.
I love your departures into experimental archaeology: making a pipe... making buttons... repairing the vase... etc.
I searched the internet some, and found that birds may have made the holes in the Oysters. They will peck a hole in the Oyster shell, where the adductor muscle is, this opens the oyster for a tasty snack. The bird known for this is the Oyster Catcher. They have black feathers around the face, brown feathers on their backs and a bright orange long beak.
Omg I’m blown away ! As your revealing your finds I’m texting my son going , omg it’s a cup from 1690 ! What a day you had , so happy for you
That little cup is astonishing! Well done. Hello from Canada, from a relatively new metal detectorist. I envy you your historical relics! Our "old" things are much younger over here.
Some amazing finds today!!!!! As a lover of English history, I love how you bring the past to life and how you make something that is old, new again.
Greetings from the Treasure Coast of Florida! Great vlog today! Lets help Si bump up his subscriber
Simon, your caudle cup is just beautiful and a remarkable find. The fact you picked it up and Kept it is amazing in itself. I'd have not even bothered with it so well done you.
So much info, yes I can remember collecting these shells when very small, on my family holiday. We'd use small old and really battered metal spades with wooden handles. Our father would dig very precise sculpted holes in the wet sands, then the tide would come in and wash it all away while we watched, eating our jam sandwiches.. But not the memories got washed away....
It's amazing how far back in time the artifacts finds can be there. I have lived in California my entire life, the finds can go back only to about 1850 when the Gold rush took place and the only things older would be the California Missions which were built in the late 1700s and early 1800s, that for us is the limit aside from Native historic sites which are completely illegal to take but I've never found anything like that. Very exciting!
Drilling oyster shells creates dust that is very toxic to the lungs. It is like tiny pieces of glass. I always heard one should have the oyster shell in water to catch the dust.
The key rings came up awesome, good work. That cup is so fantastic, 1690 wow, you did a great job cleaning it up. Excellent video, thank you.
