That beautiful emerald green poison bottle would turn out beautifully if you put it through a rock tumbler with a fine grit. A rock tumbler can remove the "sick" from glass, and sea glass, making the bits appear shiny and clear like little gems. Love the brass look on the bottle too. 😊
That metal plate with the figures on the boat might be the seven lucky gods on the treasure boat. On New Years in Japan the seven lucky gods are supposed to arrive on a treasure boat.
Si-Finds, Send an image of that flamingo colored bead to Northern Mudlarks. Ask them about the brothers in the 20s making Egyptian style jewelry. The beads are apparently on the rare side, as bead collecting goes. Gail and Alex can fill in the details for you. Nice gold. 24K?
I'm glad you took the sink home. When I first saw it I was thinking it would make a nice planter for flowers in a garden, but your sink installation is a great idea!
Your trips to the dump nerve fail to excite me. Green bottles, coins, chins, doll faces, mortar shells, and old newspapers. I bet Kit a Caboodle and Norther Mudlarkers would love to spend a day or two hunting the dump with you and your friends. I would too but as I am in Kansas USA and 70 yrs old the chance of my getting to the UK is slim at best. I'll just live my mudlarking thrills through my RUclips friends. Please stay safe. ❤
Hi, at 7.38 the page from the book is a chapter called the Potter’s Field, the poor people’s burial ground in the New York City slums mid 1880’s. The book is called How the Other Half Lives by Jacob Riis who was wealthy man who lived in the tenement slums of New York and wrote what he saw. Book came out in 1896 or 1898 I believe. Interesting you found in the dump in England during that time period!
I use pot lids as kitchen hooks. (I used to live near Stoke and could get lots of pretty odd lids from Spode and other top manufacturers) I fix several different ones to a piece of wood for an eclectic set for hanging over gloves, tea towels etc.
Denture cleaning tablets will take the staining off bottles, my have to do a couple of times. I use it on my soda water bottles that come out of the ground.
Just seems like such wholesome and wonderful friendships. I enjoy all of your videos but especially the ones with Kev. (And obviously the ones with Nelson and the rescue chickens)
Thank you Si. That was a fine tribute to a forgotten soldier and being the son of a soldier who fought to free the world of evil in 1945, I appreciate the effort you’ve put forth in bringing his memory back. If he has surviving family they should be proud of him.
You and your friends have been very busy finding glass things. Great and wonderful finds thanks for sharing your video with us all. Your friend Shirley from new Bern, north Carolina USA.❤❤😮🎉🎉😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😊
You have to follow up with Kev, so we can see what he's able to do with that! I'm always amazed at how clever some folks are. Think about Nicola's art with all the plastic trash she picks up! I believe Kev is going to think up something kinda cool.
What a great little hobo. Love that glycol thymoline bottle. Really great find was the dragon/boat piece. Maybe cut out dragon and boat then attach them to a wooden tray? The tub would also be a lovely garden pot. Fantastic finds altogether and thanks for taking us along.
Yes! I love when you go to a dump! And with my favorites Terry and Kev! Wow Kev finds the good stuff !! The sink looks great , and the poison bottle looks very cool ! You always get my creative wheels turning . Another great video Simon 👍🏻✌🏼👊🏼❤️☀️
This was a great one! But you know even with all the amazing finds you all made, the best part was when you said “Kev (Mein Fuhrer) you need to do this” and he did it! 😂😂 that Kev is such a sweet guy. And you’re a good friend! Thanks for the adventure and the laughs Si! Can’t wait for your next one!
That's a great sink! Looks like everyone found something special! I love the lantern and pots with lids, and the silver dragon tray was very interesting! Love going to the dump!
Great day out with the guys! Love the tiny Children's teacup sets and the accident with the poison bottle, turning it gold, is a happy accident - looks great Simon! Nicole & Craig
*I love a mudventure!😉* Pleased you took the sink, has a nice look about it. Spiral glass looks like the neck off a Victorian gentleman's cologne. Kindly👍🧡Dudley
@@Sifinds *Men's cologne bottle neck (the "spiral glass.") Might be later 1900-20. This is an example in metal... I've examined a more ornate version in sterling silver & glass with a cap attached by a thin chain. Your glass might be Venetian... www.etsy.com/listing/903929730/antique-1900s-1920s-moroccan-olive-green?ref=lx_share
Player's Navy Cut loose tobacco...I used to buy my grandfather a tin for Christmas back in the 70s.....recognized it right off! Lol...he used to roll his own smokes. Nice finds and thanks for bringing back fond memories!
The Navy Cut sailor looked like my late mother’s grandfather - or so everyone said - no one could remember him as he “vanished” about 1930 when his kids were little (bigamist…) but the Navy Cut Man was how he was always described.
Golly! Most families have someone who vanished to be found later with a whole new family. I have a relation on my mother’s maternal side whose wife had to put an ad in the paper after her husband ran off. Then she had to get a divorce. Of course, divorce actions were always published, often with the sordid details. In his case, it wasn’t just the local papers but also the professional journal for pharmacists and chemists. It must have been an embarrassment because all his brothers and a sister plus several uncles who were in the profession.
Love, love, love the sink!! best find!! 👍 enjoyable to hear about V.Vraath and I believe you are right about the name change. My great-grandmother was Laura Elisabeth, but was always called Elisabeth; ergo my name too hello from Denmark 🌱🌸
@@ninjareflex1817 That's what it looked like to me too, a part of a Venetian style chandelier, but that neck part is so straight, I wonder; I've seen perfume bottles in French museums that look quite similar too. Very cool mystery find.
Super cool.video ........ it was like an adventure movie to me. Awesome findings by every members. You too got cool stuff. The clean up part narrated by the history is the most touching part of the video . I really enjoyed. Enjoy With Love from SAM Guwahati Assam INDIA
Guys, that was a great haul! The bottles....omg...the colors! Wow...I am just amazed..the Bovril and the dolls face. The ceramic bottle was so 👌! That is a great bottle dump...very full of historyyyyyy!
Kevin comes up with some of the best bottles! That one right after the coin at the beginning of the video caught my eye. I am so jelly of the history you gents find! One man's muck is another man's treasure 😊
Crazy to find labels still attached! And to find a complete little hobo. He can wonder again now that he’s no longer down in the dumps. You guys found so many treasures. It’s great for you to get together for these treasure hunts.
I love what you said about the sink. I agree with you and think it is poetic and something every school child should hear and write a report about. We all need to upcycle. I love to.
Love Kevins finds. Everyone had a good day! Fun! Thank you, Si. Love the outdoor sink! Upcycling is the way. I upcycle disgarded fabric into aprons, dresses and whatever comes to mind. The green not to be taken looks great!
Great mudventure!!! You all had amazing finds. I would love to see the outcome of Kev's restorations. Bringing back the sink is so cool!!! It is such a practical thing and I love that you are putting it to use again. The green poison turned out beautifully, and I agree that the brass simply enhances the beauty of the bottle...well done! Good luck in finding a third casing. That will make an awesome display with the bit that you found at the dump. If you're not careful you will be opening a museum of your own!:D
I envy your hobby Simon and thanks for bringing us along for the ride as always!...im not a utuber but I made vid for you to entertain you back!..i dug around and found a package of cigarettes from ww2..they're players navy cut distributed by the Red Cross..as a thank you from all of us I smoked an 82yr old cigarette and gave it a review for you,in the spirit of a good dig,its posted on my channel,I figure you'll get a kick out of It!!...thanks again on behalf of your viewers!
I totally agree! Innocent, modest, friendly and calm! It’s so easy for somebody like me -who is not a nativ English- to understand him, because he speaks so clear and slowly.
Simon... outstanding matey, your videos have become a daily staple of interesting and informative entertainment for me lately. I love your approach to finding history and your passion for sharing history. Keep it going brother.... 👏👏👏❤️
Really loved this one, and your finds, Si. I LOVE the Belfast sink and am so pleased that you rescued it and have a fantastic use for it, for cleaning your finds outdoors - such a brilliant idea! And I agree with you about interesting old things with character and mystery, that's exactly my own philosophy. Take care xx
I love these bottle dump digs , they are so interesting. You say about the Army lad changing his name .My nana was Blanche Mary , but was always known as Mary!
Maybe I am in the minority, however I would like to see more actual digging out of these items. How much more exciting it would be! I'm surprised you lugged that sink back to your home and I am very impressed. Love that sink!
So glad you saved that sink. There are kits that you redo old sinks and tubs. Would love to see it restored and you using it. Thank you for saving history.
What a wondrous dump. Just full of goodies. I got so excited seeing the wire figure pottery holder. I have collected a bunch of old pieces of pottery, glass, etc, whole metal detecting and larking along old mill streams, that just sit in a box., I’m inspired to make some kind of cosmic display with wire. Happy for you with the nostalgic sink that will get well used. Hope to see you all revisit that site again.
Thanks for watching. To see me find the big WW2 shell casing click here ruclips.net/video/2AplvFMtWdM/видео.html

Using the metal detector was a good idea! A great way to clean up the toxic lead 🌞!!!!!❤️from🇺🇸

Just want to remind you how much we appreciate the work you put into your videos. I love the deep dives into the history of your finds.
Thank you!
Aw thanks so much! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Kevs a great one for finding things....
I'm glad you took the sink home. When I first saw it I was thinking it would make a nice planter for flowers in a garden, but your sink installation is a great idea!
my thought too, glad to see it on the move away from the dump, good one indeed :)
Cheers Anne!
Or an outside coffee/side table with claw foot legs, a glass top, and some cool items in the bowl.
The 1920s must have been tough, even the medicine bottles got sick 😲🍻
He will be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Great idea!
would love some pics to see that sounds lovely unique
Would love pictures!!!!
I’m so glad you saved the sink! I was wishing I could have a sink like that. It’s amazing!!
Kevin’s got a good eye.
Kev's tash 😆 bless him 🥸
Wow, Kev had a fantastic day!❤Awesome finds for all around!! Great bit if gold find also!! I love the dump digs!
Cheers Jenny! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Denture cleaning tablets will take the staining off bottles, my have to do a couple of times. I use it on my soda water bottles that come out of the ground.
Thanks. Never tried that one
Also cleans burnt pots and soaking your burner tops.

Thanks Marie! 👍🏻🐾🧡
That sink is amazing! So glad you rescued it. I love Kevin's green teapot. It's beautiful!
👍🏻🐾🧡
Love the sink. Maybe Kev would like to give us a look around some of his upcycled finds one day.
That Japanese teapot that Kevin found--😍--WOW!! Great finds one and all!
Kevin finds some lovely things.
I really hope children are in your future you would make an amazing dad as always love your videos and the art thanks for all you do ❤️🇨🇦
Love when Kev makes an appearance 🙂
You do a great job of honoring veterans, Si - very admirable.
I love seeing Kevin out with you Si, he comes across as such a sweet guy who so enjoys his finds :)
Brilliant, glad you mentioned " the artist" he still has pride of place in our house!
Nice one Terry. Yes I’m proud of that piece. Glad he has settled in
This was a great one! But you know even with all the amazing finds you all made, the best part was when you said “Kev (Mein Fuhrer) you need to do this” and he did it! 😂😂 that Kev is such a sweet guy.

Thanks Amy 👍🏻🐾🧡🧡
Yay for Terry 👏👏
Lovely range of interesting oddities this week. Especially the tin tray and hobo figure.
That's a great sink! Looks like everyone found something special! I love the lantern and pots with lids, and the silver dragon tray was very interesting! Love going to the dump!
Thanks Karla 👍🏻🐾🧡

hello from Denmark 🌱🌸
Thanks so much 😃
The glass tube thingy could be a Victorian posy holder. Great finds!
Maybe. But it had a corroded top
Probably part of a Chandelier....
@@ninjareflex1817 That's what it looked like to me too, a part of a Venetian style chandelier, but that neck part is so straight, I wonder; I've seen perfume bottles in French museums that look quite similar too. Very cool mystery find.
Great finds for all. I think Kevin won this week. Love the sink up cycle. You should get a rubber bath stopper at the hardware store for it.
ordered thanks : )
Super cool.video ........ it was like an adventure movie to me. Awesome findings by every members. You too got cool stuff.
The clean up part narrated by the history is the most touching part of the video . I really enjoyed.

Looks like it was a beautiful day for a dig with friends. I knew the minute you showed the basin sink it was coming home with you! 😊
Haha!
Can't get enough of your experiments with the found objects. Thank you Si [& co]!
Thanks!!
I'm so glad you took the sink! It's a perfect outdoor basin.
Just the greatest 😊❤️
Cheers man 👍🏻🐾🧡
It looks like a Rose bud vase for carriages, the long thing with the barly twist.
Cool 👍🏻 thanks
Or is it part of epergne?
I WISH I could get my hands on some of those pottery shards!!!
Ohhh the things I could make with all that broken blue and white pottery!!! Beautiful, lucky you!
Great finds Si! The sink was a great find! I think Kev's the winner for the day. Love his teapot and jam jars.😊♥️
Crazy to find labels still attached! And to find a complete little hobo. He can wonder again now that he’s no longer down in the dumps. You guys found so many treasures. It’s great for you to get together for these treasure hunts.
haha nice one
I love the sink and all the history that goes with it. That’s my favorite find!
Amazing what you can find out about objects and the people who owned them! Love the ginger beer bottle!
Cheers Janet!
So glad you took the sink! It has tons of character.
It does! And I use it!
You guys found some fantastic things in this video, I'm so impressed 👏 👌 😄 🙌 way to go guys 👦 😀
I love what you said about the sink. I agree with you and think it is poetic and something every school child should hear and write a report about. We all need to upcycle. I love to.
“Why get something new when you can get something with character, like this?” I agree.
I love the brass green glass bottle! Very cool. Gotta love a Happy Accident!
I love Terry!!!
Love that you took the sink and made it an outdoor washing area! And what a crazy effect the brass brush had on the Not To Be Taken bottle, very cool!
Love Kevins finds. Everyone had a good day! Fun! Thank you, Si. Love the outdoor sink! Upcycling is the way. I upcycle disgarded fabric into aprons, dresses and whatever comes to mind. The green not to be taken looks great!

You are so creative. I love the little artist with his pottery fragment painting. I never would've thought to do that 😃 💘
👶🏻 doll face eerie. what a haul lads!
So happy you took the sink!!
So poetic about your old Butler's sink - gives Hope to us old crocks!! Nice finds... 👍🐾🐕🌈🙏🏻
Right! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The funny glass stem like thing looks like a fluted stem for a compote dish...maybe? Kevin's finds were gorgeous. Wonderful selection of goodies!
That was great Si - everyone had a cool finds, thanks for researching them! What a score - that Butler sink! Cheers N
Thanks! Yeah I love it
That’s a Belfast sink, not a Butler’s sink!
Just love the bottle dump 😍
I've been watching this in bits and pieces!! Great finds!
I envy your hobby Simon and thanks for bringing us along for the ride as always!...im not a utuber but I made vid for you to entertain you back!..i dug around and found a package of cigarettes from ww2..they're players navy cut distributed by the Red Cross..as a thank you from all of us I smoked an 82yr old cigarette and gave it a review for you,in the spirit of a good dig,its posted on my channel,I figure you'll get a kick out of It!!...thanks again on behalf of your viewers!
As usual fantastic narration and finds.
Cheers matey 👍🏻🐾🧡
Kev's such a sweetheart.
He’s single and ready to mingle!!
I totally agree! Innocent, modest, friendly and calm! It’s so easy for somebody like me -who is not a nativ English- to understand him, because he speaks so clear and slowly.
@@Sifinds unfortunately long distance relationships don‘t work. 🙈
Glad you saved the sink!
Luv the small bottles...green and blue...
Proud Gran here watching you wear the gloves! P. S. Thanks for my weekly English history lesson! Love your show!
SCI IS SO EXPERIENCED HE CAN FIND ANYTHING‼️‼️‼️

I can tell you use your dremel quite a bit. My husband loves his too. Such a convenient little tool.
Yeah it’s awesome

Tweet me your creation @si_finds
Gosh I wish I could find a place like that, so many things to look at it's my archaeologist dream haha
Does Kev have a site to show his upcycling? Really would love to see his creations!
Not yet 👍🏻🐾🧡
Awesome Sink Si !!
Love the history you find for your treasures. And yes, we will never forget those that gave their all!
Thanks Kath 👍🏻🐾🧡
Enjoyable...Thanks Si.
Wonderful video! 😎👍🍀
