my friends Lea and Perrins will like that bottle (I think they still live in Worcestershire)
4:09 yes Pronounced
Lee & Pair Ins!
He really needs to watch more Nicole she has found several of those.
No worcestershire on his steak or burgers!
I've driven in Worcestershire and been to the safari park in their region. My then 7 year old and I had a grand time feeding the giraffes and such. 😊
Lea and Perrins never showed 😂
Love the barnacles! We keep old bottles to use as vase, or put small lights in and my favourite. .. Sea glass!
I used to dig there in the 70s before the houses were built.I remember the brickworks were still standing.The RE Canteen bottle is in Brompton Chatham and stands for Royal Engineers canteen.Ginger beer variants RE canteen Chatham and RE canteen Deal are very rare.I love that victorian quack cure you found
Mini ox-bow rivers! Very cute.
Great stuff Si. Flo is a little honeypot. More mud, more relics, bottles and innuendo please.
Coming right away Sir 👍🏻
Your cat is gorgeous. She looks sooo fluffy. Lol
Keep the barnacles Si....it looks good and tells the story of being in the sea..
Fab video as always
relentless12345678 Thanks!
Always nice to see marine enhanced items, keep those barnacles on, after all it's part of the bottles history, and can't be recreated without mother nature. Every time l find another bottle it makes me think about the person who originally bought it from a shop, that probably isn't there anymore, when l was young in the 60s corner shops were everywhere, and everyone knew each other in friendly communities, that gave you a sense of happiness, there were lots of smiling faces, which sadly as time went on disappeared with the closure of the little shops, as the big supermarkets moved in and stole the trade away, my dad always used to say money ruins everything, and now that I'm older l can see what he meant. But the great old bottles remain, nostalgia now from a nicer past, and made by hand, with a new beginning thanks to your great imagination Si
Hey Si darling, I'd love that bottle, for obvious reasons 😁. And my B-Day is in August 😉
YES! Ok, I'll get it up on the etsy store asap!
I love the fact that you upcycle the old bottles into something useful! And they are beautiful. Please keep the barnacles on the two bottles that have them! And I love your ginger jar and pharmacy bottle!
That's a Lea And Perrins Worcestershire sauce Bottle lol, They were founded in 1837. Yea! I finally recognised something!
Hey if it doesn't work as medicine, we can use it as paint. LOL
to cut the broken bottles is a great upcycles! the bowl is really impressive!
*marry me, Simon, you handsome, muddy maniac*
😂😂😂👍👍
Aww man! Theres a cue for the mud God? Sigh....
Ronette! You meant Si is pucker!! 🤣😜
there is something extremely sexy about Simon. I think it is his smile but I honestly don't think I have spent so much time looking at any man's hands as I do Simon. less camera on the hands and more on the face!
Great video - I LOVE the new mud shoes. The bottles look great!
mom trips Thanks! ❤️
Love your new mud shoes! The good stuff is out there in the muck ! Love the ginger jar! I wonder if it could have been an urn for ashes?
Your ginger jar looks like a traditional Chinese pickle jar. It's missing the collar around the top and the lid. The idea being that you put water in the collar and when you place the lid on top it creates an airtight interior. So long as your pickled veg is submerged in brine they will keep for several years, they just get more tangy 🤪 as they ferment. Google it, there's loads of images. Very enjoyable video, I'm catching up 😊 .
Holy Moly are you kidding me with that ginger jar?! Utter perfection.
Love your kitty 😻😻👍😊
I live in Moncton, New Brunswick, not far from Saint John! That bottle is an awesome find ! I wonder how it ended up there!
I like people who make Art out of discarded things.
Your mud shoes are very reminiscent of Herman the Munster's shoes from Adams Family. Old TV show from the 1960's(🤦holy crap...just dated myself!). Not sure if the UK had it on TV?
Yes i know what you mean, haha
Lol
Hey, with that ginger jar...maybe it was an urn and the lid sealed to keep the persons ashes in! Hey Nic would love that little face you found!! Yes leave the barnacles on!!! Sweet!! Cheers!!
Loxie says.,."But...but...you're not paying attention to ME!"
HAha, so true!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Do think of the animals that might step on all those broken glass pieces. Please just press them back I the dirt again. Takes no time.
Will you, please
Very nice video. Thank you for sharing with us. ATB.
Other than the fact I nearly puked at 05:30 while the camera was bouncing around with you in your mudder boots, I loved this video, Simon. The bottles and ginger jar were fantastic finds, of course, but my favorite find of the video was little Loxie the Cat! 😺 😺 😺 She's definitely a keeper, mate! Enjoyed seeing you out with Nicola at night on the Thames. Thanks for your great work!
Steve H Cheers Steve! Yeah Locke is a true treasure....
You are so talented Simon
pat goff Thanks! Made something extra special this week! Coming soon!
Will you ever do an episode showing us how you re-work the bottles? I'd like to see your shop.
Hi there. Si has done a segment on cutting his bottle finds. It's at the end of one vid... but not apparent from the title.
Sorry that's not much help, but if you go through his old vids you'll come across it... I don't think it was too long ago.
OK... just did a little digging. Si shows the process at the end of Epic Thames Bottle Beach Mudlark w Nic Part II.
@@allanturpin2023 Thanks
Lea & Perrins sauce! Love it Lea! Fancy footwear for all the fashionista Mud larks this year. What the well dressed muck lover wears for the summer in England. Simon, you are so clever to repurpose these beautiful bottles. They would have surly just continue to be crushed up. But now, people can have a true piece of London and British history in their homes. I love the ginger jar. My mother had one very similar. The lid is almost like the smallest glass cup you have on the table. I think there was a metal adornment around that seam. Just a guess.
Thanks Mary!
Hi from Canada ! I was looking at the bottles you cut down and loved how some are very thick glass !
Wow gotta say Si, when you speed up the go pro video it’s really hard on the eyes to watch... not sure why it is in this video... just the way the mud and sea weed patterns are on the ground I think...
Ok I have to add that it’s sooo cool that something from my area of Canada was found in England! I live in Nova Scotia which is the next province over but I have family who live in Saint John NB!! So cool
Yes it does the eyes in to watch.
It makes me nervous when you plunge your bare hand in the muck - I wonder how many fingers you'll still have when you pull it out! Love the mud boots, 100% improvement over the snowshoes! It's great that you turn trash to art when you upcycle your bottles, gorgeous vases, candle holders. Lots of labor involved!
Linda Odell Thanks Linda, I just love feeling the history in my bare hands! Thanks yes it’s a labour of love
Although I know you are careful and such, I still feel anxious when you pull jagged bottles out. You are a true artist.
I got very nervous also 😬
Interesting finds in the mud and nettles ,KEEP the BARNACLES.
Hands up all those who have rapidly developed a huge crush on Simon ✋😊🤚
I love your cat she's beautiful!
Hi Si...loving your videos....can you perhaps show how you cut..varnish your glass...i love the history of things...your videos and nicolas so calming to watch....
Hi and thanks - watch the process here... ruclips.net/video/osl8BdT_Y44/видео.html
pots were stacked on top of each other in the kiln . some times the glaze would run and stick. glaze being then all it wood tack is a tap to break it off. , living the ring .
Whoa! Those mudders seem to really work.
Lunch break in Kentucky today... enjoying the finds without that slog through the mud. 😁 Do you ever collect things for other mudlarkers you know, like Nicola White? Love the patterned bits of broken dishes too. Thanks for posting!
Amy Wright Yes I gave her a Vulcanite Rubber stopper just yesterday AND a piece of drift wood. Other Mudlarking friends of mine don’t want offering because ‘they didn’t find it’.... finding something yourself has got something extra special about it. Hope you enjoyed your lunch!
The torpedo bottle can be a little plant holder, like for succulents and it can just sit on it side!
Another good vid 😃 The torpedo buttom you can put on top of any other bottle you've cut for tealights perhaps 😊👍 Looking forward to your next adventure 😁
Fab what u have done with the old, broken and unwanted u found on your muddy adventures. Great vid as always.
You ever try using lineaway or lCR cleaner ,, take off some of the cloudy ness from the glass .. just a idea thank you 🙏 loved vid lover...good luck. Black Dog out.....
I got lost in the woods with my sister trying a short cut! Those brambles are so painful we had to retrace our steps to get back on the path...I hour and loads of scratches that shortcut cost us! We felt like explorers tho!😂
Louisa Husteden Haha, they are a pain (literally) but shows the path less trodden!
Great vid,thanks for sharing 👍
Yes on the barnacles! The bottles look really interesting that way.
Lovely kitty!
Si, maybe when you go back to that old dumping ground have another look at those old enamel pots, they can make a nice distressed looking bird nesting house with a hole the right size drilled through the bottom and some old timber covering what would have been the top ! Recycle and perhaps sell on your Esty shop ? Keep enjoying the mud mate ....... Ray⚓️
Ray Pusey : place wants depth digging!!
Love the way you do your research and find out the history of your finds! Fab! =0)
Dewi Thistle Thank you x
there has to be sth else you cd do with broken bottles... what about cutting the broken ends off, laying several end to end like a tube, add several tubes next to each other in rows so you have a rectangle of bottles, all with writing facing up, fix with glue on a board and frame. it might be a little heavy but wd look quite good.
She is beautiful..I have 2 cats. I love them..
Marlene Badyrka Cats rule!
love loxie!!! beautiful kitty.
strychnine, it will cure what ails you, by killing you.
thanks! and yes lol
Nice finds and love what you do with them.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this video Si. As a bottle digger/collector, I found it really interesting.
Thanks Lisa!
Gorgeous kitty
YAY CANADA! Represent! Happy Canada Day, July 1st!
cindyluwho Yay, happy Canada day. I might celebrate with pancakes and maple syrup!
@@Sifinds Oh, yes, DO! The area where I live produces maple syrup, chocolates & Moonshine! I'll have to send you a care package!! Oh, and legal cannabis! Don't know if I can send that through post, though! Haha
@@Sifinds Thank's Si, The Maple Leaf forever! Try some poutine,butter tarts or maple dipped donuts.Is their a Tim Hortons in London yet?
Our mum was born in canada
There’s a Tim hortons in edinburgh scotland
New York State requires a refundable 5 cent deposit on its soda and water bottles. I’m surprised you guys haven’t done that given how you are way more ecology friendly than us. Great video as usual. Very informative.
Meow hello Lexie 😻😻🐾
The ceramic one would have probably been sealed for shipping to keep out bugs and ease of stacking and shipping.
Collect some of that gloop up and sell it as natural cleanser...people will buy it I bet too !!!!
Strychnine is a pesticide poison used to kill rodents. That was scary medicine. Lol
nordonna The bottles are wicked to own though. Can get some serious money for them. Highly sought after
Strychnine was also a stimulant, a precursor to amphetamine. (Victorian)
Back in the 1970's N. Soul back street blueys speed tabs was sometimes laced with a trace of strychnine - in 1979 at the last main big room 'oldies' all niter, many of us were happy as larks gone beyond, speeding like nutters, vision skewed with nystagmus. Ho, happy days.!!
Love your content man! Great job today
MaxMillion Cheers Max!
The old ginger jar would have to be my favourite. Wonderful finds
It's addictive I'm joining the mud lovers brigade yey.
Emily McCulloch You’re in!
Love watching all your discoveries. Keep them coming. If everyone started up - cycling old things.. we would have a chance for our future generations to see some of ours and older things from the past. Every generation more and more history is lost. Yet people like you are preserving bits and pieces. Thank you.
Bill Miller Thanks Bill, it’s my love for the old too that I hate seeing them thrown away
Nick would love the doll head.
Love your mudlarking shoes!
Better than the ones you had on, when you were on the island, with Nic 🤣
- another great vlog, thx!
Thanks! It was the same location!
Get some drift wood and drill a hole for the torpedoes bottle
I wonder if the haze can be removed from the bottles. I would love to get a few.
A little late been binge watching, lovely Chinese vase. Looks like a mountain scene and hand signed. The greyish design is script writing. Couldn't quite make out what it said.
That chinese jar looks to have chinese characters written on it, you might be able to translate what it says
It says return for refund if found.
@@williamnordeste9653 HAHAHAHA!
@@williamnordeste9653 isn't that " Leturn for Lefund "
✨
"made in china" ?
luvvin'mud with Si (from my loungeroom 😿)
always feel a craving to be out there too, but in a location so abundantly laden, decisions decisions, i'd be wishing a sack trolley ! 😹
great finds
... love the sleeping dolly face 💞
Loved the search and vid again
Maybe the torpedo bottle in a larger bottle filled with sand or marbles
Greetings
Can you tell me about all the boats that were out there? Are they in water or mud? Trash or treasure? I always wonder about that! Here in the states we have to pay a deposit on all bottles and cans...usually five cents, that we get back when returned. Oftentimes there will be a bottle drive for different groups and charities. Your mud walkers were a success! And my faves this week was first your cat, and second the vase! Thanks Simon
They'll be fine and floaty again once the tide returns.
ive seen where they cut of some that are broke for toothpick holders so even if its small....
dana f. Cool idea!
I don't remember who said :
" OOh !! Empty the whole bottle,
Today is peacefull,
Tomrow we will strugle."
I find resolutely optimistic your approach while mudlarking; for want of full bottles you settle for halves or quarters of them. I think i will take some ginger syrup to get a good mood-starter.💥🤣💥
Greetings from Morocco and thanks for sharing.
Abdelhak عبد الحق Thank you!
I would love to see you find a whole onion bottle. Its great that you can make some of these broken bottles into useful or decorative objects. ❤👍
You can always tell a lot by the way people interact with their fur relatives.
Adorable cat Loxie😻😻😻
That 1816 bottle could be the "RAY & SON ESTD 1816" bottle. Here: www.ebay.ie/itm/Antique-Vintage-Old-Glass-Bottle-Ray-Son-Estd-1816-/153457322478?hash=item23bac4e9ee
They were manufacturers of mineral water and root beer... In 1885, they were located at 1 Artillery Row, Westminster.
Karin Eso Great info Karin! I have too many bottles and not enough time to research them all. Hehe. You’re great!
Interesting about the bottles
Cool 😎 💖
With all the bacteria out there and these new flesh eating varieties it would be a good idea to use some of those thick vinyl gloves and make it easier to pick things up as well
Thank you for answering my question about why there are so many bottles in that area. I just realized that you do not have poison ivy in England -- so you can go crawling about the woods and undergrowth much more easily than we can here in the US at this time! I typically have to wait until the winter when the vines have died back. Great and large selection of bottles -- and a lot of work for you to clean, cut, grind and clear coat!
Aengus MacNaughton No worries mate!
@@Sifinds -- my college daughter (just finished her master's degree in accounting) was in staying with me this weekend and we watched this video this morning -- and I got to tell her all about your previous video with Nicola in the same location -- and how I saw a bottle in your hands (and Nicola's) fresh from the mud, and a few weeks later here it is in my condominium, and I showed it to my daughter and she was very impressed! And she likes your cat too! Those mud shoes seem to definitely work better than the snow shoes did! Keep on doing what you do! Thank you!
We have nettles though and those brambles can give nasty scratches.
Nettles, brambles, Hawthorn, blackthorn.
Sometimes potters will add texture to a vase that was intended to be an art piece. It looks intentional to me. That would be why it's embedded into the glaze. Beautiful find! (I studied art and design in college. )
Hello Loxie pretty kitty!
If the top and bottom of the bottles are broken you could make hanging lamps with them...to hold just tea light candles. Those would be beautiful.
notNolajane FishRich Yeah Cool. I found one today with both ends gone, should’ve taken it 😔
That torpedo is the shape of a proper shot glass where have to down the contents in one go so you cannot take your time drinking the contents by putting it down on the table for afters
Michael Johnson Fantastic idea
The large Giants bottle? The Giants baseball team MOVED to San Francisco, CA in 1958 and have been The San Francisco Giants ever since! Just FYI! Like your videos!
Denise D Yep my bad
Loxie is beautiful. My favorite is the honey pot. Mud shoes are great.
cathy brewer Thanks 🐈
@@Sifinds You are welcome. You and Nicole find the most interesting things.
love that ceramic it looks very old!!
Stinging nettles, good indicator of nitrogen enrichment. Keep digging dirt. 😊
Yes, I was wondering about that. Makes a good medicinal tea.
Yes lea and Perrins
I’ve seen other bottle diggers use some of them to make glasses from broken bottles
Donna P Yes, this can be done too
Si-finds I rather like the candle holder idea better
Love your videos , thank you for bringing us along with you , great finds 👍there all wonderful 😀 how do you decide what to keep and what to sale , I'd keep them all 😁😁 also love the mud gliders pretty cool 😎👍
Hi Loxie 😍
Great vid thanks - how do you go about cutting and finishing the bottles?
cool tes pompes de canard !!
Do you have poison ivy and ticks in the UK? I’d love to know what type of kilns were there. Bee hive shape? Wonderful finds.
Well, the luck was fair but there certainly was a lot of muck. ;) Wow on a whole ginger jar! I think the lids of ginger jars were sealed on with wax but, I'm not positive. Glad you got mud shoes, although they aren't as entertaining as your previous pair. :)
