# padlock, really enjoy your videos, fascinating stuff.

Suggestion: If you put a piece of foam under the paper when you are stamping your image, it will come out a lot cleaner and more detailed.
Trina Dennewitz Well said I was going to comment this also! Touch
A tea towel folded (so double layer) works just fine too.
An old mouse pad works great
Also a piece of foam board(it is almost like poster board,paper with a lil later of foam material betweendoubble sided poster board .They created the poster board to be stiffer ,not to bend or rip when hung up..It has a hotoress finish to draw on..*Hotoress is smooth in artwork for writing ,lettering, markers,fine straight lines.. etc.*Coldpress is a bumpy texture created to hold paints,charcoals ,blending media..Alot of displays make lg size cutouts of people etc..) cardboard,as it is less likely to slide around..
I have a piece of the wallmatt you put in showerrooms or floormatt.
When your using the bottle tops as stamp have a spongy surface underneath and you’ll get the full impression instead of holding it. Xx🏴❤️
fantastic tip!!
You can also use a brayer to spread the ink out evenly on glass or other flat surface and then use it to coat the surface of the stamp. You can do nice color bleeds and mottled effects with the brayer and multiple colors.
Yes! Felt is a good, cheap choice.
use the mouse from your computer--makes a nice surface.
You could make some interesting coasters with those stamps. Yes, use a soft even surface underneath and sort of roll the stamp a little to get the edges
That poison bottle is beautiful, well done on that find. But that Winslow's cure is a horrible story. #padlock
"Keep standing up"??? That is the best advice out there! Always Relevant! Keep standing up, Si-dude!
Thank you!
I love those little marmalade jars. Alex & Gail collect them & drill small holes in the bottom for plant pots.
#padlock Happy birthday for 16th, it’s my birthday today (9th)! I’m already a subscriber. Great content!
Happy birthday from Australia 🇦🇺
Happy birthday from the states. If you guys ever make it stateside and need a place to stay while you visit the USA you are welcome to crash with us here in VA. We are moving to eastern Tennessee soon but till then we just live 10 miles out of Washington DC, and right in the center of both the revolutionary war and civil war areas.
#padlock
@@selzasteve837 Thanks very much. Have a great day!
@@trailtrs1 Thanks! That's nice of you.
The cobalt blue colouring on that bottle is just stunning! I love all the light green ones you find as well. Watching along.
#padlock
Just bought 80 acres of property which hasn't been lived on in 80 years! Can't wait to start bottle digging in the old trash dump areas. Want to get some 'luck in the muck" in America We have an abandoned stone well which will definitely see some exploration! #padlock
Sounds like my sort of place! Hope you wearing a Mudlover tee shirt or cap!
My mom introduced me to your awesome page a few months ago, at a time in my life where my body has made some big changes. These changes were to always come. Now here I am being shown your page.......it has been a beautiful and welcomed distraction for me. I’ve known nothing of the Thames, so learning new history has been highly educational for me. Go ahead n laugh because I said “new history”. I also commend you for all the work that you do and share with us! I’m impressed that you take the time and record your findings with the museum, especially those Roman boots! My mother and myself are fossil hunters of the Gulf shores. Her and I are both artistic and adore your work. ALL of your art is provoking, moving, historic and TIMELESS! Please keep doing what you do! I only have one pet peeve, please go easier with your trowel when digging. #padlock
Simon Nice finds and some Art work as well!!!; )👍👍👍👍👍👌
Mod Podge has been around forever. I've never seen it used to reverse an image like that before.
Nice bottle finds. I would have a huge collection if I had a bottle dump like that nearby 😁.
#padlock
You really nailed the finds today. "Happy Days!". The broken "Chunky wine glass" you found and tossed at about 11:45 looked like a penny lick to me.
You and Nicola are my favotite. You hunt, you find, you educate. "Padlock".
Pat You have to #Padlock
#Padlock
Oh, so cute, the little ink pot.
Hi from upstate New York! I just strated watching your channel and every time I do, I learn something new. Thank you for all you share!
Your finds were out of this world fantastic!!! Congrats on the poison bottle! I love watching you craft!! Cheers!🍻
#PADLOCK Congratulations on your poison bottle, Si. Yes it’s stunning! And all the other great bottles were fun to watch being dug out. Love the doll head! And I love it when you showcase your artistic talents. Thanks for sharing!
First the Roman bowl, now the cool poison bottle...You are having a run of luck in the muck! Bravo! #Padlock
The way your buddy levers those bottles out with his fork would give an archaeologist a seriously bad case of puckered sphincter Si.
Lovely poison bottle! I've seen the most beautiful poison bottles on 'Bottle digger tom's' tips! That's why I always saying,the UK had the most beautiful bottles - even the beer bottles were extraordinary with strong embossed letters.
thank you!
Aren't we supposed to be giving you pressies on your birthday?? #padlock
Feel free 😉👍🏻🐾🧡
Love the way EVERYONE says "modgepodge" when it is actually "mod podge". EVERYONE - all over the English speaking world!
The Ginger Witch ...I knew it!...I actually wrote Mod Podge first and then edited my comment to Modge Podge cos everyone (even Si) spelt it that way.....I shouldn't have been such a sheep!
I used this stuff in the 70’s and always knew it was Mod Podge!
Well at least they are consistent lol 😸
Hiya everyone I've been waiting for this. Just made my Sunday afternoon. 👍🐺
yup ! it's raining here, before it heats up again for the 5th or 6th round of too-hot weather. Enjoying the Day
That big jug that was found is so awesome. I can't believe its not broken. #padlock
it was a fantastic idea to make those stoppers as stamps over wood! I loved the result #padlock
Travel sized ink wells. That’s my guess. You wouldn’t be able to carry a large bottle of ink but you still want to correspond. 😄 I’ve seen some bottle videos in the US where they use a sharpened stick to dig stuff out of packed earth without damaging it. You can also overlap some stamps on the block to give it a cool look. Distressed. You can stamp pages of the rubber stoppers and add that to your Etsy store as Ephemera and people like me who use stuff like that in their papercrafts will buy them. Stamp them with “permanent” ink(Ranger is a great brand) #PADLOCK
Polish, actually, those dumpy glazed browns.
I love that "keep standing up" is written sideways. 🤣
#padlock
Kerri Hudlin I once had a book about odd things and one of them was about an upside down cake with writing on the bottom of it which read “do not turn upside down” thing is you had to turn it upside down to be able to read it! 🤪
😂👍🏻🐾🧡
Your friends digging is a bit aggressive lol
I agree. 🫤 He seems to be taking over your area at times.
I can sense your nervousness watching him dig. Difference tween larkers & diggers! #padlock
Stunning poison bottle, what a find!!! #Padlock P.S. love the end results of the bottle tops!!!
It’s really scary that loving mothers and fathers poisoned there own babies
#Padlock
Today they just kill them before birth....
LSX T MT yeah shame
Well to be fair the opium content was just way too high for children, a small dosage would be fine, as stuff in opium like codeine and morphine is still used around the world for pain or in cough syrup, because opiates are harmless to the body, it's withdrawal and overdose that causes the problems, opiates pass through the body not doing any damage, it's the drug war that has brainwashed into thinking any drug that gets you high is doing damage, when for example marijuana is probably one of the most useful drugs known to man, yet sadly in commonwealth countries they haven't legalised it, has they done so, there wouldn't be so many people dying and have mental health problems because of those "spice" synthetic cannabinoids, drugs are tools, when used correctly they can be a blessing, but when misused they can be a curse, my guess is that because of its high dosage, I'm sure some adults figured out how strong it was and were taking it themselves
THAT bottle is easily the best find in all the bottle digging videos on this channel #padlock
BTW. The colour of your tea was spot on. 👌😂 I had to go and make myself a cuppa
Happy 'Day, Si! Thanks for the chance to win - it's appreciated. #Padlock
Si, I don’t know if this hobby has paid off, but the treasures you come across. Are exciting to hear about. If someone had said to me . You are to going watch someone digging up a dump. I would be like, No thank you. But here I am cheering you on. Yay!!On that Cobalt blue bottle. #padlock
Haha!
I absolutely love what you are doing and the dream life you are leaving. I would be honoured to have a small piece of that. #padlock.
Mrs Winslow’s syrup contained poisonous ingredients that killed children. Sad sad product I have one of those bottles.Nic would luv the bird and I think that heavy wine glass was probably an ice cream lick.
I thought it looked like a penny lick, too, Lori. Just a "wee" bit of cholera ice cream for a penny 🥺🤪🤢🤮!!!
Juliet yes lol I thought so. Haa
👍🏻🐾🧡
paddlock you will need one to keep that fantastic poison safe
Hi Si. You and my son have the same birthday! Love the video!! Congrats finding the rare bottle!!! If I don't see you beforehand I want to wish you a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY " filled with joy and love.
Aw thanks Janet! Happy birthday to your son too!
@@Sifinds Thank you Si! 😄
Don't open the Ginger Beer bottle. It's cool and should be left alone as found. Fans from Syracuse, New York. We love the show.#PADLOCK
Hey Michael...Im from Syracuse. Moved to Oswego when I was in middle school. Live in Lousiana now. I got sick of the lake effect snow. How cool to see you on a British mudlarking video!!!! Small world.
Hey fellow Upstate Si enthusiasts! From Waterville, NY!
Oswego, N.Y. area here! Crazy to see fellow upstaters :)
The pharmacist who invented Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup made millions from that product, and probably killed thousands of babies doing so. Some of the 19th century history around "cure all" products that theses bottles shine a light on are fascinating. #padlock
Don't open the bottle. Keep it as it is. I dug old bottles for 20 years here in California. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you, these digging videos bring back a lot of good memories. Stay safe.
Everytime i see one of those bottles being pulled from ground i think, who was the last person to hold that and use it contents and, the fact they would never have thought all these years later people would be so pleased to find what they classed as rubbish.. #padlock
Me too!
Great day Simon I can't believe you found a lot of good bottles they're young man and is unlucky lucky day for that poison O That's great I'm glad you had a good day I enjoy the fun stay safe and blessed and I'll see you on your next
Thank you Roger!
Fantastic finds. Bottles older than almost anything in America. #padlock
This stuffs late Vic, early Ed.
Neat, that Poison tho. £40 buy eighteen years back 🇬🇧.
I find arrowheads up to 10,000 years old.
Could those small ink bottles have been used in school desks? The desks had small holes in them to fit the ink bottles, so I suppose those bottles would be the right size.
k pax we had really old school desks with the holes for inkwells to sit in but we only ever used them for sharpening our pencils into instead of going to the bin! 🤓
Don't think so, I remember school desks with inkwells and they had an open top with a rim that sat in the hole in the desk. More of a pot than a bottle.
@@pit_stop77 i always wondered about those holes. The desks in Canada had them too.
I had lessons in Calligraphy every day. I had my Pen Points, Bottle of Ink, and it was a big deal part of my Grammer School grade..95 kids, class 1 - 6 wooden school house, 2 story with gym in bottom along with several "chambers" for kids that caught Polio..#Padlock..👍🗽🇺🇸
Right then Si, I'm on my holibobs and about to use up all my data watching you (whilst sunbathing on the beach)! 😂😍 It best be worth it!
Update: Totally worth it! That bottle... Wow! 😍💕 I'm in love 😍💕 I best go save my children now who have floated half way to France on their inflatables while I've been watching this 😬 #padlock
Haha. Your so funny 😄😄😄😂
You all found a honey pot of a hole. Loved the poison blue bottle!
Thank you!
You could also stamp on the back of the glass of a picture frame and it would show through correctly.
Wow! I am totally in luv with the old bottles. That blue poison with the spikes what a find!!!
No don’t open the bottle
Schrödinger's lemonade!
Aegopodium 🤣🤣🙀
I was thinking you could create a mold of the stopper for a reverse.
Fantastic finds again Si. It just goes to show that there is still so much to be discovered. One man's junk is another man's treasure.
#padlock
For your next mod podge transfer: if you cover the whole block then apply the image (also covered as you did) you will get a clearer background. Then you can use mod podge to seal over for a matte finish.
I can't be the only one crushing on Si's voice. Even when he discusses thousands of infant deaths I'm enamored 😍.
Perfect Sunday morning viewing
He DOES have a soothing voice!!
If Si ever branches out into doing audio narration, I'll be at the front of the line to buy whatever he's reading!
very soothing ... great for sleep meditation !!
Oh, confess, you like everything about Si...just like me! 🤗
@@happymack6605 yes!
Poor Si is probably blushing right now
scary that people thought helping their children with this remedy - but killed them instead, I hope the bottle you found wasn‘t one of them #padlock
Me too 🐾🧡
Bad news when maxing out the doses during the day.
As always, very interesting indeed ! Very good "ploughing" guys ! #padlock
Back then there were a lot of using dangerous substances in medicine. Here in the US pioneer women became addicted to opium and cocaine that was used in concoctions for various womens problems. As a result many ended up instentutionalized.
@@woodrose50 that reminds me, in Oregon during this time period there was a classical Chinese Doctor named Doc Hay who worked in John Day, Oregon. He was fully trained in traditional Chinese medicine. He became the expert doctor everyone went to because he was really good at treating infections and could do surgeries safely (due to doing common sense things like boiling his surgical instruments to sterilize them and using herbs effectively). This was before antibiotics. The facility he operated out of, Kam Wah Chung, is still in existence as a State Heritage Site. For many people at the time it was a choice between Doc Hay and the quack "doctors" that filled the West, wise people chose Doc Hay!
The stamp was interesting. Didn’t know the Mod Pog would do that! We have it here in the craft stores in the area. #PADLOCK
Mrs Winslow's is very sad, but I love the blue poison bottle. I love watching you guys dig for bottles & mudlarking. I think the glass could be a penny lick. love you guys! # padlock
Love the poison bottle and all the rest.. Put a padlock on the cabinet with the poison! lol
I had to stop watching, the way his friend was digging was giving anxiety.
Those little ink pots are like the ones given to use at schools here in Aussie back in the early days. The pork pie ones are rare here but there are lots of those little ones ☺️ #padlock
I can't imagine a better way to spend the day than digging through the old bottles and sherds! The baby medicine was interesting to learn about. I had heard that alcohol and opiates were regularly used in them but hearing that people continued usage after finding out how fatal it was is just horrifying. #padlock
It is fun!
it's honestly terrifying how often they used opiates on otherwise healthy babies back then, it's not necessary unless the baby is dying of cancer or something like that! teething doesn't deserve that! so sad how many babies died back then from things like this.
Awesome finds. Love your channel. Learn a lot about England in the process.
That blue bottle is gorgeous! It never fails to intrigue me what was considered rubbish then. I can only imagine how my rubbish will not stand such a test of time. We are indeed in the age of disposable trash. #PADLOCK
Wondering if that stamp idea would work on material. Think printed t-shirts would look cool. #padlock.
Great idea!
Si-finds Thames Mudlark Thank you si 😀
I’ve used Mod Podge for all kinds of things, but didn’t know this cool technique. Thanks for demonstrating it, Si. #padlock
Get in!!! Beautiful rare poison...what a bottle! 😁👏🏻👏🏻 Massive fan of Mod Podge, just blows me away how you can make a block of wood so bloody interesting - it’s awesome! Bottle digging is hard work but so worth it, you rock Si! And those prizes are also gorgeous so best get my entry in. Much love as always. #padlock
Thanks Lissy and good luck!
Si, I look forward to your adventures and clever upcycling every Sunday. Thank you and Happy Birthday! #PADLOCK
Thank you!
So thrilled for you both.
Using such force with giant shovels and forks don’t you run the risk of breaking more awesome finds than if you would use a more gentle approach?
It can happen, but most bottles are stronger than you think and quite thick glass. Most broken bottles have been broken at the time of being thrown away - or under the pressure of the earth. It's a happy medium of force and moving enough soil to find something
Take it to a ginger beer maker and they could reproduce to “original recipe”👍
Haha cool yeah!
It a still taste crap!!!
Haha 😂
I really enjoyed all the charming finds you had this week, but shed a few tears for the poor children poisoned by their unsuspecting parents. #padlock
Thank you!
Tina Kercher You really cried?
That poison bottle is AMAZING!! Great find.
#padlock
Happy Birthday for the 16th!
I think my favorite item that I have watched you make was the wooden block that you covered with various metal items that you found. It was beautiful! #PADLOCK
Thank you!
Wow the bottle tops making those impressions are such an example of pride in work at the dawning of the Industrial Age.
Does anyone even try to imitate that quality of design on the ordinary and mundane objects used around the house? Maybe in Britain, but not in the USA anymore.
Craftsmanship is lost without people like yourselves digging up the past and bringing it back to life.
#padlock
Reminds me of a great D.H. Lawrence quote:
“Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into are awake through years with transferred touch, and go on glowing for long years.
And for this reason, some old things are lovely,
warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.”
Adriel fantastic quote
@@trailtrs1 Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. Your post reminded me of it. Amazing what craftsmen have made over the years. Must be why I like antiques so much!
Adriel I’m the same way about antiques. I love things that are not only old but old and well made
Adriel you have a great name. Is it only a RUclips name or your real name? I’ve never heard the Nama Adriel before. Very beautiful name
i think it would be worse for those parents of sick children to know afterward that it was poison, i feel bad for the unfortunates who were around for the discovery, the whole "what have i done?" scenario is a nightmare
thank you!
It's my dream to go bottle digging, I'd love to find some little Victoria ink wells or toys. I love that you have chickens too #padlock
thank you!
There are many undiscovered treasures ready for your eyes.
When that brick hit that flaggen I almost died
Simon awesome finds , that poison was the holy grail . AMD I just love the craft projects, Made my Sunday ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Cath!
Thank you!
My late husband loved bottle digging when he was a younger man. He found a tiny dark green poison bottle which I still have. Very nice find on yours! Incidentally, his birthday is August 28. #padlock
Happy birthday to him!
Your birthday is the first day of a 365 day journey. Have a happy birthday, may it be full of amazing treasures.
#PADLOCK
Aw thanks!
Hey Simon, are you digging around with a hoof pick? Looks just like one.
I use a hoofpick that is over 50 years old when I fossil hunt and bottle dig..a very useful tool..Love the vids 👏🙄
Yes. Easy way to excavate 🐾🧡
@@Sifinds Brilliant 👏
It would be fun to make printed coasters with your bottle stopper printing method. I enjoy your videos and the art you make with your finds. Hello from Boston Massachusetts #padlock
Lovely blue bottle. Nice find! I like the colors in the modge podge art. It turned out well. #padlock
Padlock great find with the poison bottle beauty
Thanks!
Just put modge podge over the top of your work, let it dry then it makes a lovely finish
Put a little leather handle on it si it would look like a well travelled little suitcase
Haha. Great idea!
Well done with the stamps! Very clever! Never would have thought of that & more fun than my idea of making a negative with something that would harden then making a positive from that! That poison bottle was spectacular too! You guys found the remains of an interesting household! Lol! #padlock
Thanks Nancy!
#Padlock Loved this dig, so many wonderful bottles. I think your craft activities have been great. Keep up the good work.
LOVELY poison bottle, as a child MY dad ALWAYS went bottle digging & ALWAYS came home with SO many beautiful bottles I always loved the blue ones but they WERNT there for long coz he ALWAY sold them on, but back then his goal was ALWAYS gingerbread bottles that was his GOLD lol. I found one of them little ink pot things full WASHED up on the beach I still do not know what it is. Keep up the good work LOVE your videos 😁
Ginger beer you mean? What a cool Dad! In the Uk I take it?
@@Sifinds haha sorry it's this phone spell correct lol, yes in the UK up in Cumbria he ALWAYS wanted the silloth ginger beer bottles coz they where worth the most, he knows all the best places to dig, his GOING to show me where to dig when he gets back home, he is a cool dad he works in London at the min but will be back for Christmas, he dose beachcombing, bottle digging & his favourite metal detecting we had fun times as a child. He still does it all now mostly metal detecting he is looking for his Roman items but finds SO much cool Items, you & MY dad would get on grate, if your EVER up this way give me a shout & HE would take YOU to all the old dumps he knows the best places. Thanks for the replay. Happy mudlaking 😁 LOVE the bottle top prints 😁
Happy Birthday mucker ! Have a good one 👍🏻👍🏻🍻
Hi Simon, Judy in USA-VA. I just read that garnets are a "lovers stone" - when being separated from a lover garnets are the gift ! With all of the religious icons being found in the Thames, it could be that as "lovers", sailors leaving, soldiers leaving,etc. that the garnet stones were tossed into the Thames wishing the "leaving lover or lost lover safe trips, safe here after, etc. They are so small, I'd imagine a pouch or ladies handkerchief tied with garnets inside being tossed into the Thames along with a prayer...
Hi Simon,
Great video,
Some really lovely finds this week.
Especially that blue poison bottle, I'm really pleased for you.
Keep the good work up...😎👍👍
#PADLOCK
Thank you!
#Padlock
That poison is absolutely stunning! I love all your artistic creations at the end of your videos. I was amazed to see this weeks as I have just finished stamping a full canvas with all of the ones we have found from local breweries! I had the same problem with the middle details not showing up as clear as I wanted so put a rolled out bag of play dough underneath the canvas before I stamped them and they are crystal clear now! Keep sharing and take care x
Cool!!!
I love love watching your videos, always an adventure, so much fun! I have just recently bought myself a metal detector and I am excited over finding and old axe and nails, spikes, bottle caps. lol. It's the hunt and the history. Thank you for a great time and I'm so happy for your rare find!
Thank you Chris - yes the hunt is the best bit !
When I was small we lived in a house with a massive garden backing onto a brook. Prior to being a garden it was a farmers field. Used to find loads of little stone wear bottles and keys. #padlock
Epic!
Happy birthday for the 16th Si!
Padlock
Thank you!
Thank you for such great videos!
How many amazing finds, love the full London SE bottle and the fish :) #padlock
Simon, I’ve really been enjoying the mix of digging/mudlarking and the artwork. Very enjoyable. 👍🏻 #padlock
thank you!
