Another great video #shared
@6:02 it looks like duck caller
Dear Si & Friends, I suffer from chronic pain and often I can’t sleep at night. When I can’t,I turn to you, Nicola & the Northern Mudlarks to see me through the worst. I love watching your videos, I spent 5 yrs in London, partly doing my post graduate studies many years ago in History, so you can imagine how much I love some of your discoveries and their provenance. I’m also a bit of a maker and crafter, so the upcycling is right up my alley. Thank you for all the time you take to make such fun videos. Know they are much appreciated.🌟🌟😊🌟🌟
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
I hoop you get well soon🙏
I have always been very active, i love walking , gardening, i used to bottle dig , and metal detect, but i now have arthritis in my feet , and can't walk far at all . For the same reasons, i watch si doing his mudlarking, i love to watch you dig the things up and bring them back to life, you have a real talent for that . I also find your vids very calming and relaxing , though the vid with you on the beach starkers ! was very entertaining . lol I went to bed chuckling ! Keep it up . xx
Simon,
About sewage, here's my story.
We had a septic (sewage) tank on our farm.
Every so often a service would come out, remove the concrete lid and pump it out.
It fascinated me as a child, I couldn't wait to see them do their thing.
So after watching for a bit in the morning I left.
I came back around noon and this fellow had a long rod and was poking and stirring the sludge.
"What are you doing?", I asked.
He said, "I dropped my coat in there and am trying to retrieve it".
"Surely you can't wear it after that?" I asked.
"No", he said, "But my lunch is in the pocket"
Not quite your treasures, eh:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Haha!!!
bahahaaa .. good one! We are on a septic and a drilled well too. Hubby is a farm boy and doesn't believe in pumping them out, he says .. if they are working properly, you don't need to. I hate to think what's in the bottom of that thing .. shudder
@@SundaysChild1966 today they have leaching fields along with the tank, but in my day, the forties and fifties it was just the one.
Most of that was true except about the coat.
A fellow from London named Bill Brooks , a genuine cockney, told me that story and it sounded
Much better from him😊
Thank you for your reply
Rik
This made me giggle 😂 what a punchline
@@SP-kh7dp And it’s mostly true
I did grow up on a farm with that type of system but the story was told to me by an English fellow, a genuine Cockney from London and it was funnier with his accent 🫠😋
Rik
It's sooo great that you also do the research on the great things you find. The history of a piece is equally meaningful as the piece itself. Nicole White is all about doing that too. Great stuff. History! Yay!
My dear old Dad loved to metal detect when he could but he had a very basic detector. Your video takes me back to those days. I am now researching to get a detector for myself so I can start searching for fun things. I like seeing your video and info you share. My father’s ancestry is from Ireland and my mother’s ancestry from England. I like to see the things you find and the history behind them.
#shared
Si, you have truly been a source of joy over the last couple of years. I absolutely love to watch you discover artifacts, no matter how small. Thank you!!!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Lovely to spend a Sunday afternoon mudlarking and treasure hunting with you. I especially appreciate that you take the time to do the historical research necessary to educate your viewers, especially those of us across the pond and the respect you show when you discover a military artifact. I also love the adventures you share with Nic White. Keep the adventures coming our way.
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡

My first comment on a RUclips video ever! Just discovered your channel and I LOVE the content! You all are real life treasure hunters! So glad you appreciate the rich history behind it all and are generous enough to share it with us as well. Speaking of sharing... #SHARED 😄
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds wow! I can't believe I got a response! I feel like a mini celebrity. I'll try not to let it go to my head 😂 P.S. It has been a pleasure removing forgotten gems from the icky, gooey mud with you so far. Cheers!
My ancestors are from Scotland and Ireland. I love watching your show and imaging my ancestors owning some of your finds. I would be honored to own one of the pendants that you found in this video. Shared
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Being ex military and from a military family, I love these finds. Please take care of them xx
I think your "gold ingot" looks like the back of a silver clothes brush. My dad used to have a set in a leather case: it had hair brushes, clothes brushes, a little container for cologne, etc. The clothes brushes were the same size and shape as the "ingot" you found (obviously the main body of the brush was wood, with the bristles inserted into it, and the silver part was just a shell or cap - like the one you found - that covered the brush-back). [Edit; by the way, I think the "horse" on the cap-badge is actually a lamb.]
you beat me to it...
Yeah quite possibly. Thanks for posting 👍🏻🐾🧡
I think I've actually got an identical one silver plated with a machine decorated back... mine used to be part of a dressing table set.
Awesome finds! Loved how Wendy restored the brooch and added the Garnets :) We have one of her amazing anchor pendants with a garnet found you Simon x The red swirly marble is stunning - wishing everyone good luck winning! Nicole & Craig
Thanks for another wonderful trip into history Si! I am never tired of seeing all the great “treasures” from the muck that you share. Then there is your upcycling- thanks for it all! #SHARED
Cheers Susan
What a good sport. When others find things, you are always so happy for them. And I've seen you give stuff to other people, and tell them where they can find good things.
It’s nice to be nice 👍🏻
@@Sifinds It is nice to be nice. I'm impressed because my late husband was a fresh water Bass fisherman. He always loved showing good place to fish and enjoyed when someone would caught a nice fish. He would laugh and filled with joy. Your a lot like him in that way. Keep on keeping on. 😁
Really enjoyed the post today as I do all of them. The tea strainers we're fun to see. Thimbles are always fun for me to see. I started collecting thimbles a few years back.
Thank you for the Lark in the Muck 💜
#shared
Sci, your up-cycles are the best! You make us feel we have a friend in England!
You do! 🧡
#shared I would be thrilled to own either one of those beautiful, historical pieces! Wendy is quite talented and creative! She is the perfect person to help you up cycle your stunning finds! I love your videos, Simon and look forward to Sunday every week. Keep up the excellent work! Love from Ohio, USA!
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
What a beautiful finds!
It still amazes me what you can find in the muck. I really love that brooche. It's so delicate and Wendy did a great job by restoring it and adding garnets.
Can't wait to see your next adventure!

“And here we have it, the 100 year old brooch” **drops** 🤣🤣 oh that was funny! Loving the buttons and ring!! #shared
Haha. Had to leave that in 😂
Hi, Si, Robert from Pensacola here. Your floral broach is Art nouveau . Art Nouveau generally involves sweeping curves and a general nature theme - flowers, birds, etc. The distinguishing features of Art Deco are simple, clean shapes, often with a “streamlined” look; ornament that is geometric or stylized from representational forms. Art nouveau was primarily from 1890 to around 1910, but was still there in the 20s.It was old hat by the 30s and was about gone in jewelry. Love you, and have a little crush on Nicola LOL
Am always intrigued by your finds, and wonder about simple things like how many unhappy children have lost their marbles, how on earth a military man lost his cap badge, and how is it even possible to find a pin in the Thames...love your channel #shared
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡 so many stories lost - but we can try and imagine them
The wind is no respecter of caps, civilian or military. Whoosh, and into the creek!
I love coming home after an exhausting few hours metal detecting on a Sunday to watch you mudlarking 🥳🤗 The perfect end to a perfect day! Thank you 🙏 #shared
Aw cheers mate
I'm in awe at the number of tea strainers in that trip! That's crazy! I wonder why they were tossed in all about the same time and place? Did it come up against the age of the tea bag? But why so MANY? #shared
Quite possibly. Annoyingly this hobby often raises more questions than answers
@@Sifinds it's fun guessing, though. Could have been that a tinker collected them to be repaired later. And when he died, everything was tossed over all in one big pile
The strainers all fell victim to the kitchen sink's drain. That's my guess. 🫖☕
Again fantastic video you and cuffs have a right laugh ..
Another comment, I love when you find old marbles. I live in a city area first built in in the 1860's, my home was built in 1913. After 59 years I am still digging things out of the ground every spring / summer when I do a new flower bed or deep dig an area. From square nails, to strap on skates, old glass, metal toys, but my favorite are definitely the marbles. from baked clay to swirly colours. Cheers!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Oh my gosh the necklace and brooch are beautiful 😍 Wendy is so talented! #SHARED
Love the tea strainers, my grandma used to have one, as well as lots of pretty tea pots, cups and saucers. I'm sure that where my obsession with pottery started ❤️
Cheers Beth. Yes she is!! A pot of tea is a rare thing to come across these days
Surprised the rest of the river didn't drain when you pulled the plug out!
Haha!
😂😂😂
Have you been down to the foreshore since the storms blew through? I think of all of the new finds exposed, but also all of the history washed out to sea. I hope you, Nelson and the chickens all faired well. #shared
I have indeed! Some nice things were found.
I loved watching your video. The fact you added the history with your finds was awesome.
Hi Si. It was as while ago but the lid is Houbigant a French perfumier. Yours and Nick's are my must-see vlogs. If I wasn't 69 and didn't have a fear of flying I would travel from Brisbane to London just to meet you and have a mudlark. Best wishes. Jo, transplanted Kiwi.
What a great hunt today. I just shared it with my son. He needs to take his "old" Mom out on a lark/ hunt soon or he gets the wooden spoon treatment.....LOL. #Shared
I’m having a hard time imagining a Brit throwing away their tea strainer. Especially nice ones like you were finding.
Haha true
Surplus to requirements when tea bags became the norm
Didn't they end up going down the drain quite a bit?
I think they would have been washing them up and they slipped down the drain. Never would be tossed away on purpose, I am sure.
Wow that brooch looked amazing !!! Love the history that goes with all of your funds 😊
Love your mud larking videos don’t stop making them .
I’ll try. Thanks
That broach is amazing! Si just a real stunner!
The brooch is like one my mum had years ago, but each flower head in hers had different colour gems...very pretty!
#shared My mum born in the UK in 1920 will be turning 102 on St Patricks Day. That brooch would be ideal considering its age. She worked in London near the Thames too! Great find!
Wow good luck
Too late for me to enter!!😆 Wendy did a beautiful job with the brooch. It’s a design that I love to collect on vintage compacts, brushes, mirrors, lipsticks, and I think I have a few either pendants or brooches that are vintage that is designed like it as well. I gifted to my sister a beautiful small compact and it had this other basket design and I just love that design as well. Because she carries a small purse it was just the right size compact for her to have. Very interesting fines today because I love when you find different vintage make up pieces.
If anything I would mudlark for, it would be old compacts, lipsticks, and things I love that I collect. I just find them beautiful!!
Great video!!🌊
I had a friend who lived in the oldest part of Boise Idaho USA. In the 1970s they dug up a bunch of outhouses from the early to mid 1800s. Housewives used to throw entire sets of tableware, kitchen cutlery, and china in their outhouses. A lot of treasures were found. #shared
Si, another fine day on the Thames...thank-you for sharing your adventures with us. Now we will #SHARED your adventures with our friends!!
My hubby got me hooked on your videos. Our Sunday routine. More Nelly!
Haha! Sure 🐈⬛
Thank you for sharing your adventures and discoveries behind some of those treasures (carrot association, adorable! haha!)
Love watching all the goodies you find and I love the crafts you make!
Wendy is an Amazing Jewelry Artist!
Another great treasure hunt. Amazing what we managed to loose done the sink. #Shared Of course small children loved playing mud pies etc with Mum’s best teaspoons 😆👍🍀
I've done this at home, brackish mudflats on a river that used to flow between factories and railroads. The dumps flush out over time, mostly find trinkets and bottles from the early 20th century.
Loved how the flower basket pin turned out! Amazing how all that gunk came off. Lovely! #shared
Interesting how you can uncover all that history from a simple button marked "General" that's the beauty of the hobby it can take you back in time to a completely different life 🧐😉
Glad you said the marble rotates as I purchased a Codd marble pendant and I panicked when the marble moved. Now I can wear it again! Greetings from Canada!😊
Looks like they loved a cup of tea around your way 😂cool finds and cool info Si, really enjoyed this one 👍
The Coupling around the pendant is exquisite. Wendy is very talented.
You are so lucky to live where so much old items can be uncovered. Good day of finds. #shared
I was amazed when you compared the bus button to the London Underground Roundel Logo. Great day out for a social history lover ☕️. #Shared 👍😎🌸
Good job cleaning up the brooch! A favorite design!
I’ve only been watching your channel. A few months. I was watching Nichole White then found your channel. Very interested channel. I love the history you are able to find.
Loved this video! The brooch turned turned out gorgeous! Both of you found so many nice things. You showstopper make me want to jump up and mudlarking! Lol
I was fascinated by the photo of the London Omnibus Company as I was surprised to see my surname all over the background. Now I have another avenue to explore in the family tree, Thank you so much 👍🏻
#Shared
I absolutely LOVE the lil marbles !!! 😊
Wow! The brooch turned out so nice! What a fun find! The marble is nice too, it just didn’t need as much work to clean it up. 😃
Thanks for sharing!

Hello Si, this is Jennifer from Cape Town, South Africa. Just discovered your videos, my son said I must watch. OMG just love your videos, so exciting and interesting. I have a collection of old bottles, mostly the blue ones. Love old treasures. Take care and happy mudlarking.
What a muddy mess, but oh what treasures.! Loved the floral basket.. pretty sure my gran had one like it. Thanks again for allowing us to tag along on your adventure #shared
Nan from Florida: love your mud larking!! Wow
#shared to Facebook! Love seeing Cuffs and all the spoons and tea strainers... hope you had a hot cuppa after this mudlark! ♥️ from Kentucky
Love that beautiful brooch - to have the creator info from one of your viewers. The little wooden spoon is delightful #shared
The tea strainers are real nice. Love the marbles too.
I'm getting obsessed with mud larking🤣🤣🤣🤣🤗
Nice to meet you my newest friend. Some awesome finds. Thank you for sharing.
I so love watching your videos Si, especially when you take your friends with you on a lark. Its so interesting to see all the wonderful things you find. I have gotten my sister very much enjoying all your videos also. She just loves watching you as do I . Thanks so very much for sharing Si. #share
Loved the Pendant coupling that holds the marble. Wendy is very talented .
The little bucket looked interesting, so did the white porcelain screw cap thing, intriguing. May have been able to upcycle it maybe. Nice ring, Cuffs. Wow for the face powder compact, so cool.
Such a nice positive fella si need more people like you in this world keep up the good work.
Those tea strainers are quite old and can be silver. Broaches can be dated by the clasps on the back if any. The ring could be a man’s wedding band. Love the military cap badge of the Agnes Dei or Lamb of God. It’s not a horse!!! It is a Lamb!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡

Love seeing what comes out of drained waterways, there must be so much of our history in the silt
#Shared The RUclips algorithm has not failed me. I like seeing all the old finds!
Never have I ever seen you find a tea strainer...today you find 5!!? Make a nice top for a windchime. Great lot of treasures today Si 🙌
#shared
Yes it would!
“We shall remember them”….. made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! #shared
Always Amazing Si ! #shared
Cuffs was killin it too !
Shaving brush! I knew immediately! This is great fun! Thanks for filming. Now traveling to the London sewer creeks to dig through the mud is on my bucket list. Cheers! Also I'd love one of those marble pendants & am going directly to check out Wendy's site🤩
That cap badge Cuffs found is in such good shape. Finding a picture of someone wearing it is amazing. His story is is sad. Thank you for bringing us along. #shared
Our pleasure
Brilliant vid Si. My nan had that face powder! Brought back lovely memories 💖
#SHARED I've been watching videos on your RUclips channel for a couple of years Si, and have learned so much about social history. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Great adventure, even the ducks were having a good time! Thanks for sharing your found treasure. #shared
Hiya, LNER was the London North East Railway, known at the time as the Late and Never Early Railway. Love the videos. Stay safe, Steve...
Great day! 🕊️🕊️Happy Spring 🖖
As you were pulling up that chain I was thinking, that's definitely a drain plug chain 😆 #shared
I love the little spoon and the Morny lid, Si. I think this creek is one of my favourites for you to detect, you always find some great bits and bobs. #shared
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
G'day Si.
The opening scene in this presentation instantly caused me to think "this one might be more about sludge survival than luck in the muck"!
I loved that cute little tea strainer, i want it 💕💕
My husband guessed correctly that you found … a shaving brush! Thanks for another fun video!! #shared
Great video. So relaxing watching you mudlark and finding interesting little items! The brooch and marble necklace turned out beautifully 🙂
#shared to Twitter 🙂
What a brilliant video lads.. I've never thought about detecting the mud you know.. I do it all I thought until I seen this.. so much treasure in the mud and not just bottles and stoneware! Love your channel ill definitely be watching more. 👍👍
Cheers Tony! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Beautiful broch- reminds me of my grams Easter Basket and the marble brings back good childhood memories
Morning, So and Moss! Love the competition between you two! So fun! Why was this London river/crick a sewer? Did Londoners in the past just throw all their garbage in here? At least the water looks nice and clean now. ( ; I love your friend Wendy's marble pendants! Soooo beautiful and creative! ( :
Cool find on the buttons and tea strainers! Nice pipe, Moss! ( : Would've been cool if you found a large bar of gold! That would've been amazing? Still awesome!

Hello from California! Fun watching you & Cuffs meander, thank you for taking me along! #shared
#Shared Hey Si! Beautiful buttons today! That was so much fun! I love the ducks! TFS Hugs!
This looks like fun finding old stuff. I wish I knew of a place to do the same thing. Cool
Every time I see the shovel hit the mud in the beginning of your videos I just love it very well done
Thanks Deb!
A sloppy, sloopy, mucky good time as usual! As I see in other comments, the information along with the respect of the finds is genuinely appreciated.
The marble necklace idea is genius! I love marbles and had one. My mom let me pick it from the large marble bin. In those days ,toys were loose in bins! #shared
Great video. The cap badge was interesting and poignant with the young lad dying in 2017 on his birthday. Pretty broach - amazing it's still intact after so long. Really enjoyed watching. Thank you 😊 #SHARED
Oh my gosh the brooch cleaned up nicely!
