The rounds you discovered are for the Morris tube. It was a sub-calibre tube inserted into the barrel of a Martini Henry rifle to allow troops to have target practice and training without expending the full calibre (577/450) rounds.
How wonderful to see, my Great Grandfather was born right there just behind the castle in 1874, his father was a miller by trade. His son, my grandfather came to Canada in 1907.
Another lovely video -you might have enough coins to buy a packet of chips to share! Is that insurance freebie a button shiner perhaps? I've become a fan of Kevin - good to have around when you someone needs a hand! 😀💋
Thanks so much Penny! Yes I can get a bag of chips, and some have said it’s a chip fork too! Hehe. Kev is a sweetheart and if we ever get stuck, he can run back for help, I wouldn’t fancy my chances of him giving me a fireman’s lift out of the mud! 😂
You guys have the coolest artifacts over there !!!! Lots of age and patina. Looks like you're having a great time with it all. We don't even have DIRT that old over here in the U.S. !!!!!!
Willow pattern china is still available - popular in Victorian times, still popular. Jack Daniel's is world famous for whiskey and makes a hard apple cider in winter which has spices and No 7 whiskey in it. They recommend to serve it warm. If you are ever near Lynchburg Tennessee, the distillery has tours, a museum, beautiful grounds and the cleanest washrooms in North America. Thanks for taking us along for a mudventure.
Hey Si, here’s mud in your eye!😝 So much fun and outstanding commrrradderry! The treasures ! Love the VW Bug🐞Query, isn’t there another way of disposing of ammo? The lead is bad for the environment, sea life, flora and fauna…humans! Wish I could mudlark with y’all. Missed the upSIcle but a fab vid as usual. 💖🇺🇸🦅🌞
Always great fun Si, love you four out in the really narsty mud. Lots of cool coins and treasures. Even a PG one 😁 Looking forward to the next Mudventure ! Hugs and kiss the kitties 🥰
I think the insurance giveaway might be a sewing tool to place behind a button when sewing it on. It would leave an extra bit of space between the button and the garment.
Every week I might choose something different from your finds to admire the most, but THIS week, I'm picking the padlock (see what I did there?). I'd love to see if it cleans up well, and it would be really something if the key you found would open it. You do have luck in the muck, Si, so who knows? It could happen!
Hello 👋 from New York USA, you guys found some amazing finds. My favorite find was the glass marble. Thank you for bringing me along with you. I can't wait to see where you go and what you find next ☺️
Lots of cool finds. My favourite would have been the slipware pottery piece. Loved the very adventures part of crossing the river! I'm back in Germany and already missing the foreshores of London.
Sci this was such a fun outing. Loved watching you and your friends find such cool finds! Put a smile on my face. Can't wait for your next vid! Much Love fro the States!❤️🙏❤️
Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg Germany 😅, ich bin in einer kleinen Stadt an der Nordsee aufgewachsen und wir sind bei Ebbe auch immer zum Hafen und haben dort im Matsch gesucht. Es gibt ja auch die Geschichte von der Insel Rungholt die untergegangen ist und die wollten wir immer finden 👍🏼😅🤗🤩
Love this video Si. I grew up around there and spent most of my time playing over Tonbridge park as a youngster. Shame you didnt go around the park further as 40 years ago i lost my watch whilst fishing in the river
The little boy peeing was a prince who ran away from the castle. When they found him that is what he was doing so they commemorated it all over Belgium. My father was all over Europe during world war II and he actually picked up one of these statues. It was always an interesting thing to show my friends when they came over. So greetings from upstate New York.
@@charlotteribbens5834 hi I have also seen travel shows that have shown the statues in fountains with little boy and saying it was Prince whomever. It seemed like every village how to Statue or fountain like this.
@@RobinAllen-w5f this particular statue is an exact miniature of Manneken Pis in Brussels Belgium. Its an statue build in 1619. The original statue that used to be there in the early 14th century did not survive time. No one knows exactly how it looked like but there was a statement from the 15th century saying it was of a boy who was taking a leak. So the current statue of Manneken Pis is based of that. That is what I know. I'm from The Netherlands and have been to Brussels a couple of times😄
Nice. Tonbridge Castle, was a strongpoint for German Invasion, hopefully we'll get to see some of the left as it was, although some grown over. 3:52in Must be your shout for coffee m8! Gibralter a kool place In the mountain theres all these rooms, from WW2 they think, that not a lot of people know about. Nice goin Si, done well m8, thanks, you stay vertical Eh!
I know ,@ mudbagger would be so excited about the whole " pis boy" he's been finding pieces of them in Netherlands and hoping fir a whole one one day. My pick would have been the large shard of Staffordshire slipwear. Only small pieces are usually found. Thanks Si and friends. Take care❤
Ok,so I gotta say,the ‘fail’ music at 19:34 absolutely floored me🤣 But in my opinion,that slab of Staffordshire Slipware. Oh my god, if I found that,I would probably have a heart atackakakakak(that’s a Billy Joel reference) Also,if Sarah ever needs assistance getting unstuck from the mud,just let me know. I will book a ticket from Cleveland Ohio to Heathrow,I’ll hop on the Elizabeth line,take an Uber to the river/creek/canal,and pop her out in a jiffy😅
Don’t worry,brother! It seems those nails don’t want to be in my home,it’s ok,no worries no refund necessary,this is simply the language of metal,speaking back.
That was so fun. Will you all be going back to that site? Are they doing a cleaning of the river too? That mud was a foot thick with stuff. Really need to set up a sluice and shove and clean to find so much more hidden in that muck.
@@Sifindshow many shopping trolleys did you find 😂 My Dad used to take us to a bottle dump and I remember we found a cobb bottle and ink pot - I was probably 14/15 (I'm 53 now 😂) at the time but I think now it's probably gone with the building of Pembury Hospital maybe something for you to investigate. I wish I still lived in the UK as I would definitely be on the mudlarking wagon , love watching your videos and Nicola White
G'day Si,I love your Cats.They love you dearly because they know your true,kind nature.We are all sentient beings and are equal with all living things.👍✌️❤️
In the early 80’s the river was dredged near the castle there and the spoil was dumped in piles near the water treatment works half a mile away. Myself and a couple of mates, all about ten years old at the time, spent many happy evenings scraping through the spoil which was full of treasures. I found hundreds of old clay pipes and coins and the find of the century, an old iron cannonball. We took our finds to the council and they weren’t interested really. I kept all of my finds in a Tupperware box for donkeys years. I let my kids take it to their primary school for a show and tell. A fortnight later the box was returned minus the cannonball. I was gutted.
Nice day out... the little Volkswagon is quite old because it has the oval window at the back. Might be worth cleaning as much as you can, but don't over-paint it

I finally did some mud larking on the Thames foreshore last Friday. It's much harder than it looks 😉So now back to looking at Si and co actually finding stuff 😂
