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.🌟🌟😊🌟🌟
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
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
@@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
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.
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.
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 😄
@@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
#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!!!
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.
@@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. 😁
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
#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!
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
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.]
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
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! #shared
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
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
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 ❤️
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!
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
@@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
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
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
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
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.
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! Maggie
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 💜
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
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
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! The flower bouquet brooch is beautiful,! ( : I love the pot with wire handle! ( : Love the whole tea strainer you found Si! Soooo beautiful! ( : Ohhhhhh...good one. si, a whole tea strainer! Wow! Miss found a ring too?! Fantastic!

Love getting to tag along and see your finds along with you, Si! Have a great day! ( : #shared ( :
Great video. So relaxing watching you mudlark and finding interesting little items! The brooch and marble necklace turned out beautifully 🙂 #shared to Twitter 🙂
Loved this episode! So cool to see what you find. It was amazing to see what the basket of flowers looked like 100 years ago and Wendy’s embellishments made it really special. I did enjoy the histories of the different military buttons. Although not in this episode, I’m a sucker for all the different pipes you find. Fascinating! #Shared
Love all the videos so much. Marbles are one of my all time favorite things to find when I go digging! I’ve learned so much from your channel that has helped in my own mudventures! Thanks Si! #shared
I love that you restore and repurpose your finds. I found a really beautiful old blue marble in the surf in St Barth FWI. I would love to have it made into a necklace just like your friend makes. As always, nice video Si. #shared
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.
Thank you for another interesting and informative glimpse into our history. I love watching what our ancestors have discarded - it's almost like they wanted you to find their treasure and educate us. #shared
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
Another excellent treasure hunt & yield! Wonderful discoveries and stories being told. I greatly enjoy your channel, Si! You & Nicola are a couple of my faves! I actually learned of you & your fun adventures through Nicola's fun adventures... Very happy to be here! #SHARED 💫✌💚💫
Some great finds.I think its lovely that you upcycle things, whether theyve been lost or thrown away its good to see them given new life. I love glass things so i like seeing you find marbles, i doubt kids play with them nowadays. #shared
This was fun! Sewer dredging, who knew it could be so exciting!? Anything seems to have found it's way down the sewers 😉 #shared Wendy's makes are stunning and these two, are no exception! 💗 hello from frosty Denmark 🌸 ❄️
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!!🌊
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
Brilliant episode, as always! Having worked in archaeology, I share your continuous excitement of never knowing what one is going to discover. I also have to admit, though slightly unwillingly, that each time I watch your videos, a feeling of jealousy creeps up on me. I would so much like to explore London's foreshore, banks, creeks and other aquatic sites. Alas! Satisfying that I can watch you do it and maybe, one day, I will also be able to. Keep up the good work, Simon. #shared
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🤩
What a lovely day you had and then gave to us to watch and enjoy, too! I always love watching you and your friends, all such truly nice people. Mudlarking is something I’ve always wanted to do and it does T seem I ever will, so I have my luck in the muck vicariously through you. You make it a bit of a history lesson as well, which is so appreciated! Loved your finds today! That brooch was exciting and so were the spoons, especially the small wood or bone one. And your buttons were fabulous today! Can’t wait to see the video you put up from the Thames after the storms! Stay well! #shared
I love to chill out and watch you (and all your company) mudlark. We get to see some absolutely stunning finds and the intriguing history you provide behind some of them is pretty amazing. It’s a pleasure sharing your content with others 😜 #shared
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!😊
Hi Si! I believe the item found at 10:08 is from a toiletry kit, either a lid to a plastic compartment that held tooth brushes or a comb, or it's the top of a nail buffing chamois pad, that would sit in a plastic base. The design on your find looks like it's from a men's kit. #shared.
Enjoyed the video guys. The buttons are great finds. Love that you were able to restore the lovely brooch. Thank you for sharing Simon as I look forward to your videos. Have a great week and please keep safe. ❤️🇨🇦 #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. 🫖☕

The Coupling around the pendant is exquisite. Wendy is very talented.
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.
Love watching all the goodies you find and I love the crafts you make!
Wendy is an Amazing Jewelry Artist!
The piece that looked like a gold bar is a silver plated brush back. Part of every Victorian gentleman's grooming kit.
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.

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 💜

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"!
Lovely mix of items, great finds, tea strainers were my favorite. Very clever design for the marbles on Wendy's part.
I absolutely LOVE the lil marbles !!! 😊
Shared on Facebook. I love how different this is from the other junk online. Very interesting. Anxious for more!
Great video. So relaxing watching you mudlark and finding interesting little items! The brooch and marble necklace turned out beautifully 🙂

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.
#Shared The RUclips algorithm has not failed me. I like seeing all the old finds!
Every time I see the shovel hit the mud in the beginning of your videos I just love it very well done
Thanks Deb!
Thank you for another interesting and informative glimpse into our history. I love watching what our ancestors have discarded - it's almost like they wanted you to find their treasure and educate us. #shared
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
Another excellent treasure hunt & yield! Wonderful discoveries and stories being told. I greatly enjoy your channel, Si! You & Nicola are a couple of my faves! I actually learned of you & your fun adventures through Nicola's fun adventures... Very happy to be here! #SHARED 💫✌💚💫
Great day! 🕊️🕊️Happy Spring 🖖
Some great finds.I think its lovely that you upcycle things, whether theyve been lost or thrown away its good to see them given new life. I love glass things so i like seeing you find marbles, i doubt kids play with them nowadays. #shared
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
You are so lucky to live where so much old items can be uncovered. Good day of finds. #shared
This was fun!
Sewer dredging, who knew it could be so exciting!? Anything seems to have found it's way down the sewers 😉

Wendy's makes are stunning and these two, are no exception! 💗
hello from frosty Denmark 🌸 ❄️
Very nice hunt! 💕👵
“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 😂
Brilliant vid Si. My nan had that face powder! Brought back lovely memories 💖
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!!🌊
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
Hola SI ,que interesante todo lo que encontraron,que hermoso diseño de canasto ,de seguro era un prendedor ,la bola roja quedó fantástica 👏👏👏👏👏🥰
#shared to Facebook! Love seeing Cuffs and all the spoons and tea strainers... hope you had a hot cuppa after this mudlark! ♥️ from Kentucky
Nan from Florida: love your mud larking!! Wow
I love all your research and your information for things you find
So glad i found your channel. Love that you give the history of the items you find!
Thanks Krissy !
#SHARED I never miss your videos, I really enjoy seeing all the treasures and learning the history behind them. Thank you for the enjoyment 😉
What great finds. The history with the football is amazing
I'm getting obsessed with mud larking🤣🤣🤣🤣🤗
Brilliant episode, as always! Having worked in archaeology, I share your continuous excitement of never knowing what one is going to discover. I also have to admit, though slightly unwillingly, that each time I watch your videos, a feeling of jealousy creeps up on me. I would so much like to explore London's foreshore, banks, creeks and other aquatic sites. Alas! Satisfying that I can watch you do it and maybe, one day, I will also be able to. Keep up the good work, Simon. #shared
The tea strainers are real nice. Love the marbles 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🤩
I love the tea strainers! So much history just there. And the Brooch is gorgeous too. Fabulous finds as always Si 😍#Shared
Great adventure, even the ducks were having a good time! Thanks for sharing your found treasure. #shared
What could be better than being out with a friend, hunting for cool old finds in a creek?

Looks like another great day in the mud! Interesting history on the GENERAL button, alway enjoy the history behind the finds. #shared 🙋🏽♀️🦋
What a lovely day you had and then gave to us to watch and enjoy, too! I always love watching you and your friends, all such truly nice people. Mudlarking is something I’ve always wanted to do and it does T seem I ever will, so I have my luck in the muck vicariously through you. You make it a bit of a history lesson as well, which is so appreciated!
Loved your finds today! That brooch was exciting and so were the spoons, especially the small wood or bone one. And your buttons were fabulous today! Can’t wait to see the video you put up from the Thames after the storms! Stay well!

Cheers Mudlover!
I love to chill out and watch you (and all your company) mudlark. We get to see some absolutely stunning finds and the intriguing history you provide behind some of them is pretty amazing. It’s a pleasure sharing your content with others 😜 #shared
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!😊
Hi Si! I believe the item found at 10:08 is from a toiletry kit, either a lid to a plastic compartment that held tooth brushes or a comb, or it's the top of a nail buffing chamois pad, that would sit in a plastic base. The design on your find looks like it's from a men's kit. #shared.
I loved that cute little tea strainer, i want it 💕💕
Enjoyed the video guys. The buttons are great finds. Love that you were able to restore the lovely brooch. Thank you for sharing Simon as I look forward to your videos. Have a great week and please keep safe. ❤️🇨🇦 #shared

Love seeing what comes out of drained waterways, there must be so much of our history in the silt
Brilliant video today Si. Awesome finds. Loved the Morny top and bone spoon.
Cheers Lisa👍🏻🐾🧡
