Great stuff on Henry Dudin, almost brings him back to life
Loved the court record! That brings flesh to the dry bones of artifacts! I appreciate the digging you do in the archives as much as the Thames muck! Keeping the content solid and the click bait to a minimum.
Thanks Si. Great work on the padlock faceplate. Appreciate your efforts and interesting history. Fabulous stuff. Thanks again.
2:21 looks like a surveyors long tape measure framework only.... with the measure missing..
agree I
Could be a 'python' drain probe
Being able to bring that bit of history back to life is what peaks my interest in mudlarking etc... fantastic work. X
Going Mudlarking is like A little trip back in time. Always very interesting. Thank you for the fantastic upload again ❤️
Great video -- great to hang out with friends and discovery history. The research and testimony for Henry Dudin -- amazing! If he has any living descendants that would be a great thing to share with them to keep his memory alive!
Simon, I love your history lessons for your finds, really outstanding dedication!
Thanks my friend!
@@Sifinds your vid at dead mans island.was a Nephilim jaw they had double row teeth.also the large leg bones you found.let me know .check it out and research it.i bet you iam right.please let me know.thank you
@@Sifinds that band I knows is a gunpowder barrel band stamped in typical Victoria style crows foot or broad arrow love your work keep up awesome content 👍🐺🐾 but for great preservation of iron artifacts I boils them in candle wax in a sauce pan but don't do it on shells you may get a mega bang
@@Sifinds dinosaur bones at14:12?
Si-finds Thames Mudlark tremendous job you are doing there, congrats from S. Ontario, Canada, I Love you’re online show here.
Wonderful reenactment on Henry D. That was very enjoyable!
Thanks for your work in researching the finds.It makes it so interesting.
Your dramatization was awesome!!! And all from your padlock find. Love it!!
All your video s are beautiful I enjoy watching u n your friends get together love it ♥️
It's weird and wonderful to have people from the past brought back to life again by your finds.
That's one of the things I really love about watching your videos. All the information you find out about an item and then share it with us. Thanks for doing that.
Thanks - it's hard work haha
I enjoy yours and Nicola’s episodes. Every time I’ve been to London I’ve wanted to go mucking about myself. The only ancient stuff I can find here are arrowheads, etc.
Very interesting. I love it...my very early ancestors were hop farmers from Kent amongst other things....so appreciate the history, it brings those ancestors to life.
Great history lesson Si and thank you for doing the research.
Great research and presentation, as ever. Cheers Si.
Wowsa!...that was an excellent ending!....amazing work!

Tel's right, it's a (squashed) carrier/dispenser for spools of steel or plastic banding. The central spindle comes out, you drop the spool in & replace the spindle.
I've used them. :)
It’s ALWAYS so informative and exciting to see a new video of yours, my friend. By the way, i got my ‘cut’ bottle from yu! It’s a treasure, to be sure! What a nice piece of history linking my part of the world with yours. The canon ball turned out quite nice. It’s amazing how something soo crusty reveals a perfect specimen! What great finds!!
Just curious, where is your "part of the world" Deb?
Very interesting, Si - certainly brings the old back to life again... Meant to say how cute your cat is, looks like a grand old lady who loves your old treasures. Happy hunting! 😎🙀🐾✨👍
Si, I am so happy to see you found my marbles. Friends are always going around saying "Steve, you've clearly lost your marbles!" Great video today with some awesome finds. As others have noted, I really enjoyed learning about ol' Henry Dudin. You really make history come alive!
Great story with Mr.Dudin's padlock. Thanks for digging it up from the mud and from the books!
Nice video, Si. Liked the reenactment. It’s interesting English history.
Very interesting!. Well done.
Life was very cruel back then so many children passed away so young.
Terry is always fun and cheerful.
The Broad Arrow / Crows foot was also widely used in surveying from the mid 1800's to the mid 1900's so could be part of some surveying equipment
Wonderful video, Si....Your research work is great stuff! Loved the story at the end....Keep up the interesting and educational work. Best wishes from Canada...HH and GL🇨🇦❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🍀🍀🍀
Some great finds Si ! But fascinating how much information you found out about Henry Dudlin and his family just by identifying that padlock ! Wow,! thanks for the upload
Great video I love watching your vids and the ones when you and Nicola White are out together you make a great couple
Maybe the thing with the handle was part of a small "rotorvator" Fascinating and educational. Thank you.
Well done on the research. You guys are amazing. Loved the court recording.
But, but... I was told there would be knees!
:(
Great research. I love that they had a little slush pile of corn to balance the bushels that were light.
Yes me too!
Great entertainment, history and banter as always Si - love it! I think Terry needs L plates though! lol
Love the end there.
Nice work Si. Love the padlock plate history. Well cleaned too by the way...
Love the history lesson via Mr. Dudin! Great vid Si.
Hi Si, im pretty sure what you said was a musket ball attached to the mold is incorrect, what i think you found is a shrapnel ball stuck to a piece of a driving band from an exploded ordnance round. I find them from exploded WW1 18Pdr shrapnel rounds and from 19thCentury Armstrong rounds. if you clean up the copper it might help identify the object better. When making musket balls they used cast iron molds not copper.
What you found out about Henry Dudin was wonderful, especially the verbatim transcript - you did a great job and thank you for it! By the way, I hope you have discovered the Old Bailey transcripts by now too - they can be really interesting!
I'll look them up - thanks!
That "what's it" with the broad arrow looked like it is made of naval bronze so I'm gonna say it came off a ball valve in a ship, or it could be a dog from a hatch or port hole. Maybe a handle of some sort. Thank you for calling that broad arrow a "crow's foot" I've called it that too! Now I know I'm not the only one! That live round looked like .38 Special or .38 Long Colt. I have revolvers in both calibers one was made in 1899 the other in 1916. I really like that pewter flower button it makes me think ca. 1690 but I'm often wrong. Awesome video!
The frame you found is part of a cable puller for laying electric cables under ground good hunting
Fantastic ending!!!! Totally enjoyed what you did with the lock 🔐 plate!!
Thanks!
Great Video as always! Are there's-shirts with Terry's knobby knees? I think this would sell out! In fact, a contest on who's knobby knees are who's? Thanks Si Finds and to the other Mud Lovers! I mean how could you not love those knees? DaveyJO in Pa.
Really enjoy these, especially that episode where you found all the human bones.
Could it be a marker for sports fields? The large part holds something to measure distance as the wheels turn and the holder could hold a container of chalk.
Excellent!
Thanks for that, Simon!
Always interesting to see your vids, Si. Thank you!
That is so cool and also sad but I enjoy the history you stay blessed and I'll see you on the next one
The item looked like a coller strap of a mast of a ship to me great Vid Si Alan👍
The military-marked Copper object is a fragment of a driving band originally fitted around the base of an artillery shell.
Paul Fenner Thanks Paul. Do you have a link to a comparison?
Great resource and digging up to me that's what makes it so interesting.
Thought you might be turning into Captain Queeg, rolling those marbles in your hand like that! Lost your strawberries, have you? Great hunt with your buddies!
Thank you so much for Henry's account Si. That was very interesting 😊
I'm amazed you were able to recognize that little cannonball!
THANKS ENJOYED BEING WITH YOU ON UR SEARCH. CHAP WITH BEARD'S TWIN IS HERE, BOB WALTON, IDENTICAL TWIN, AGE AND ALL.
CAMILLE AUSTRALIA 😁
haha beardy bros!
8:48 Looks like a band from an artillery shell?
That lock scene is exactly why you don't go caveman on your finds lol, just mineral wash em and sand blast them at home. Or scrub them with a tooth brush and water hose in the backyard.
"it will blow his mind" haha!! what an aspiration!
Very cool thanks
The clean up is always very satisfying. Very well crafted narration at the end, I really liked this video ;)
What a treasure trove of history. I watch Nicola White often,but now I can watch even more. Love history from all over the world. England has always intrigued me. Thanks for sharing. 🖒🖒...🤗Texas
The ordnance survey did use the crows foot military mark, it was also used on prison uniforms, the broad arrow or crows foot on that piece is more likely from a piece of heavy equipment .
I would rule out a hand tool on the fact the sides are very square and lacking evidence of wear from usage, I can say categorically with absolute certainty that it did not come from any military projectile or shell of any kind.
As an ex artilleryman I handled many shells and every single shell was machined with a fine tolerance on the copper seal rings that prevented any gas escaping and allowed accurate ranging for hitting a target that the gunners could not see.
The likelihood of it being from a naval vessel is more than probable.
That copper piece with the military marking on it looks a lot like the rifling bands I find in the US from 100 lb parrott shells and other 100lb or greater artillery shells from the american civil war. I would guess it's from some form of large artillery shell from the 1850s or 60s.
Good video. U do a good job!
So, I've seen you use electrolysis on Nickolas rings and things. Did you forget you could have done that with that fabulous lock too? And then the iron ones you can dip in wax to preserve. Don't know about the brass ones
Si not So, dumb phone 😁
Yes but takes a long time with big iron, I just like to hit it - gets the same results
Ty
Great finds! I always look forward to the clean-up. I like the music and turntable display. I had to laugh when I saw Kenny Rogers. I didn't think the British listened to him. 😁
“Kenny Rogers, Burrried Treasure” 😁
Well done! "If only there was a rock around you could use"! Hahaha!!!! 😅 .. loved the history research you did also. Very interesting! 👍
that rock gibe made me laugh out loud when I heard it!
Thank you for another very enjoyable video, and congratulations on your great finds! I don't think your bag seal is Russian, because if it were, the "R" letters would be facing left, or backwards. There are a few countries that use a Cyrillic alphabet where the R faces right, like ours..
*Marry me, Simon, you handsome huckleberry*
What??? Ha ha ha.......
It is a copper band seal off a gunpowder cask
It's either that or could it be a copper rifling band from a more modern shell used in a breech load style deck gun?
That barrister sounded proper posh. Another great video! :)
I nailed speaking posh then? haha
@@Sifinds Good job Si. Nice reenactment!
I like the accounting of Mr. Duddin, it was good knowledge of the usage of corn measuring and trading with regard to the nature thereof same as explained, kind sir
Excellent discoveries gentlemen. Looking forward to your next hunt.
Is that object something to mark roads!
A lovely bit of entertainment for a Sunday afternoon!
Tape measure carrier for doing road or deck work measurements. Cant say you've lost your marbles! One treasure can relate a whole life if you just listen.
Yes the best treasures are the things that tell a story!
Would you pronounce "tems" the same as the river "Thames"? I find it easier to follow your English than some other detectorists.
Yes, same .
Yes Thames is pronounced 'Tems'
Item 1 trolley to hold a reel of banding steel, used to keep heavy items on steel pallets.
Dave Chandler Thanks Dave!
It's a British telecom, Tracer Wire trolly.
I don't think that you'd throw away a musket ball because it wasn't properly cast- you'd toss it back in the pot and melt it again
Most of the items we find aren't intentionally lost... 🤔
Amazing video love it. With all u th things u find remember to enjoy your self
I'm always enjoying myself! Thanks for watching!
Quality History that
The military object is the base of an artillery projectile. I think.
Hey, when Terry was tapping the rust from his ball, his right knee was resting on the Tibia of some large animal. Just thought I'd point that out.
Yes there's plenty of animal bones down there!
Metal for moulding bullets? Just a guess.
Looks more like bronze to me than copper. Rasons why you would make something of bronze, rather than steel or iron: Non-magnetic. Can be an issue around a compass, or handling mines. Non-scratching. When you need to handle delicate surfaces. Non-sparking (Typically beryllium-bronze). Tools used around open explosives such as gunpowder.
Si, I very much enjoyed the history lesson! And all from the face of a padlock! You and your friends had some great finds today, I'm so glad I got to tag along!
Anytime Cynthia!
Si the broad arrow is not only to do with military, it has been used for many things, predominantly to do with the crown/government.
I do think what you have there is military, but one other major use was to mark anything purchased with the crowns/government money.
Might be worth a quick read up or a visit the the tower of London (they has a section on the history of the broad arrow mark).
Could that large iron thing be a surveyors tool?
That looks like a trolley for a spool of metal banding that's used to secure pallets.
Brilliant, loved the cort case near end. Subbed and looking forward to seeing more
It’s for a plumbing snake that you snake your drain with ,, it’s old one good job. Si....guys ...mates that my best guess .....Black Dog Out... !...over...
Thanks Si for going the extra mile as usual very interesting you have honored Mr. Dudin and his family by remembering them and teaching us very nice.
Thanks Becky!
Surveying g tool
As always a great upload and a history lesson thanks SI 👍🇮🇪
I recon its a balance weight because copper was expensive they marked it with the chicken foot hence properties of the queen often use on marine shafts to balance the propshafts
