The brass piece was used by ladies to raise the bottom of their long dresses to avoid them dragging and getting soiled. The end would have had a ribbon or thin chain that would be held in the hand or pinned by the waist. Great Victorian find!
Beautiful and interesting finds, as always, Si! The blue glass was particularly spectacular! I love old silverware, and you boys found some lovely specimens! Can't wait for Part 2!
Fantastic history in those finds. I am saving up for a licence and holiday in London for some mudlarking soon... used to dig bottle dumps and beach comb back in NZ as a kid but I want to find clay pipes!!
Alex Carle Clay pipes are getting harder to find these days, mainly because they are rather obvious and people can see them easily. Good luck if you do go though x
The carpet rod holders would look really cool as birds heads on little repurposed sculpture. You should look at some of the small sculptures of birds and things made out of forks and spoons. Would be a good thing to make from all your surplus cutlery you find
Hello Si! Hello Rich! I watch Nicola White Mudlark, and she mentioned you two. So, thought I would watch one of your videos! You sure find interesting stuff in the mud at the Thames! I liked that Bovril bottle that you found. I found one exactly like that in our back yard years ago while Mum and I were digging up our garden! I guess Bovril was popular here in Canada, too. Happy mudlarking! ~Janet in Canada ;-)
Its always worth checking twice, when I've been beechcombing in the past some things can look like just a rock or a piece of rubbish but when you take a second look it turns out to be something more. A couple of times when I've beech combed there has been stuff right by my feet.
Saw the little top off a Christmas tree bauble there. You can see the slot the wire hanger comes out through the circular part that fits the top of the bauble..
Fantastic finds! Nicola would likely enjoy seeing the chunk of blue glass. The brass clamp resembles a Victorian dress lift designed to aid ladies in keeping the long skirts out of the way. It may be a curtain swag clap as well.
See if you can find a similar one here. 'Victorian skirt lifters' sounds misleadingly saucy, by the way. 'Hem tongs' is more accurate. www.pinterest.fr/stormmcbean/victorian-skirt-lifters/?lp=true
Hello, you fellows are doing a bang-up job. I love all your finds whether big or small. I am so enthralled that at times I talk to you but I know that’s as far as it goes. I do point things that you can use? Probably you really saw it already. I’m enjoying this so much. I have seizures so I’m in bead with on my lap. It's as close as I get for now? God bless you both.
I realise I’m showing my age, but l learned to shave my legs with a razor like that. If you were careful, you got a brilliant clean finish, but one slip and you had to leap into the bath to avoid the bathroom looking like an abattoir.
That "instrument" you found looks like the same type of tool used to pick up anything from ice to logs-the objects weight keeps it closed until it is set down then it is easily removed. ??
A 7:00 is it an old "saute ruisseau" pince jupe en français, jumper creek or sKirt clip. Sûrement utiliser par les Dames pour descendre des bateaux/ surely use by the ladies to get off the boats. Merci à vous !
At first, when you picked up that beautiful blue glass, I thought it was a giant sapphire haha. Probably because I had just watched your video about the giant garnets found in the Thames. Thanks for sharing another great video :)
Mazin , innit? Kids used to crack the Codds for and then with to play street marbles. Yet, on the old tips there's always plenty of multi coloured marbles knocking about anyway, strewth!
North Weald, I went round the old redoubt, ended up in a field surrounded by hundreds of cows and all I found was a load of toot. Going to try round the old train station today and maybe the the old ww2 training forest 😊
Hello mate. Watched this a while back but went back to it this evening and noticed the brass Tudor rose type mount. I was at this spot a few weeks ago, it’s changed and isn’t as fruitful as the day you made this, in any case, I found one of those Tudor rose mounts! Wonder if it comes off the same furniture yours did. Anyway, thought that was pretty cool. Take care mate 👍🌹
The pen nib is from a dip pen. The nib was slotted into a usually wooden handle and dipped intothe ink wee. They were still in use in the 1950's when I went to school.
The white Jar is indeed a Ponds Cold Cream jar, we have an 1860's house in australia and when extending several years ago found one with the lid intact, showing an English country scenr with trees and a stream flowing through a field
I used to tell my children there were so many marbles every where because everyone was losing them from their minds. They totally believed me. I told em don't go losing your marbles and let's see how many people lost their marbles today it became a game we found them everywhere.
In my childhood post war there were no fitted carpets. Stairs had 'runners', lengths of carpet held in place by brass rods which were slipped into foxed loops such as you are finding here which were screwed to the stair itself. Your first fork may be French as their cutlery is enormous compared with British cutllery. You r white pot is probably Ponds Cold cream which was used to remove make-up. The brass object is possibly a tyre gauge. You stuck the end in the valve to measure the pressure. Marbles were played by all the children, hence why you find so many.
Were house remains and other bomb damaged detritus bulldozed into the river during the wars? I love finding old bits and pieces, you have found some interesting things again :) Not a fountain pen nib, it's the kind that are attached to a handle and dipped into an inkpot.
That hinged thing might be a laundrymaids tool, possibly a Goffering Iron, for crimping or goffering the lace around aprons. The other possibility might be a tool for crimping hair but that looks less likely to me.
When I was Mudlarking last year I found a thick beautiful piece of blue glass, like the one you found. I was showing my findings to someone who lived in London his whole life, and he told me at one time the Thames had thick blue glass buoys. Have you ever heard that?
Hmm, I know you can get glass buoys, so this is a possibility, I've never seen one come up on The Thames before... saying that I bet I'll find one now, if I do I'll give you a shout out!
The carpet stair rod holders -- My parents' house that I grew up in had those stair rods--and I suppose the holders, too. That was in a 1920's built house in US, I remember seeing those during the mid 1950's. Supposing they were 1920's style items.
Amazing finds and great video :) I am into metal detecting and we find those stair carpet grippers everywhere :) haha who fell in the hole. great video and finds and great video
jackiesmiths Metaldetecting videos Yeah those carpet rods must have been so popular! A big chunk of soil avalanched into the hole, thankfully not a person! Thanks for watching
Stair rods held the carpet firmly but allowed the carpet to be moved & adjusted so as to even out the wear & make the carpet last a bit longer. Very often the carpet was quite narrow with painted wood either side as an economy.
Stair rod holders would be 2 to a rod 13 steps 26 per flight, most victorian and early 1900s houses would not have had fitted carpet, but what was known as a stair "runner".
@@Sifinds you know I did. Now I'm usually really good at finding examples of strange or obscure items. But for vintage eye curling products I really had a hard time. Found a lot of information on the history of the curlers but no pictures. The pictures I did find look nothing like this... Actually if you think that this is a scary device that you use right next to your eyes...well let's just say if people were given the option to use this (even if it's not actually for eyelashes) or the other examples I came across... This would be chosen Everytime... Like 100% you would pick this thing even if you literally pulled it from the mud and there was stuff hanging from it you would still pick this... I honestly can not believe woman actually used the scary (sometimes candle powered) contraptions. Like my girlfriend would say "sometimes you have to make sacrifices to look this good!"...lol women 🤣
The stair rod clips and rods are very much on trend again, as they were back then; it’s said the main reason it was done back then was to save money on carpet going right to the edges of the stairs, instead it was just a runner down the Center of the stairs then painted down the sides carpet held down with rods.
That razor is a Gillette old type, I still use one. You should clean it up it will probably still be useable since it's made from brass. It is also possible to replate them in nickel, would be an interesting restoration. Enjoyed the video looks like a great site!
@@Sifinds Yes really cheap too you can get 100 for a tenner, get a better shave than a cartridge too. You should give it a go it's definitely worth the switch.
That`s not a fountain pen nib,it`s from an old dip and scratch pen.They were usually wooden holders with a metal socket at the end of which that nib would have been placed.those were the pens that we moved onto into 1950`s primary schools from pencil or slate
They were still in use in some schools in the 1960s. Blooming annoying things. Sometimes you couldn't even complete one letter of the alphabet before you had to re-dip. There must have been an art to it but I never discovered it. Give me a pencil & let me get my messege written. I still use pencils a lot. The tubes off of single use pens take millions of years to biodegrade. I cannot stand the thought of them littering the earth. Either get a pen that takes re-fills or use a pencil.
That made me laugh...the razor....1930's, I was born in 1958 and I remember thats the type of razor my Dad used at least up till I left home in 1976 to join the army, I can't tell when he changed over to disposables!!
Hi been watching your mudlarking videos and subbed, I'm a detectorist. If I would like to go mudlarking on the Thames do I need permission or can I do it without a detector. How does it work. Thanks ☺️
Crypto Kurt You need a permit from the PLA. Search PLA metal detecting on google and it should come up. It’s illegal to search, even eyes only, without one. Plus there are restricted areas, you can’t just go anywhere. Also watch the tides, they can be extremely dangerous if you get caught out 👍🏻
@@Sifinds thanks man I appreciate the help. I've contacted them. I would only want to do it on a weekend trip. I find these things highly enjoyable and interesting where others raise there eyebrows at our interests 😁 keep up the good work man 👌
📌📌📌 Please as a follow-up tell us what the tag -- the circular metal thing with an F on it was. ☺️ I have something similar but with two TT on it. Thank you #thevelvetloungelife 👍🏼
The brass piece was used by ladies to raise the bottom of their long dresses to avoid them dragging and getting soiled. The end would have had a ribbon or thin chain that would be held in the hand or pinned by the waist. Great Victorian find!
The chunk of blue cobalt glass is gorgeous! Nice finds all round.
Karen Yeoman Thanks Karen, I've hung it from my kitchen window where it catches the light beautifully
It's a huge Saphire ! But don't let that stop you from doing these videos, great fun.
1,000 years of history on the Thames, love you guys !!
Nice finds, you have luck! Have enjoyed watching! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome finds 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lady's fork 😂😂😂
Heathen, its a fish fork

I don’t now how I’ve ended up here but such a brilliant watch!! So interesting and amazing how some of these items stay preserved for 100s of years
RBA Fishing Bait Thanks. Check out my other vids pal!
RBA Fishing Bait i warn you, you will get hooked on these vids and not see the outside world for weeks!

Defo looked like a gold ring on its side when playing spot the find with the pen nib
I thought that too.
Wayne Richardson It does doesn't it! It was just a piece of ceramic.
I thought it was a ring on its side as well, lol.
Its always worth checking twice, when I've been beechcombing in the past some things can look like just a rock or a piece of rubbish but when you take a second look it turns out to be something more.
A couple of times when I've beech combed there has been stuff right by my feet.
I thought that as well, I was pointing at the screen saying it's there lol and it wasn't there at all!
I would never want to leave! What fun!
If I lived in London this is what my hobby would be! Bugger the state of ones finger nails 😁
I live in South Africa 🇿🇦
Can't wait for the reveal, nice finds
Alaska Hammer & Yukon Variety Channel Thanks Dude!
Love you videos buddy, you have excellent knowledge of your finds.Keep up the good work as you are very entertaining.

Hi Si, I just watched part 1, brilliant as always. That handle you weren’t sure of looks like a brass razor handle with a cut diamond grip.
Chris Morgan spot on Chris!
Bunch of neat finds. RAF button is really nice. Congrats!
Fantastic video! Such interesting finds, very jealous that you can go here so often :)
Ollie Sanders Cheers Ollie!

They are becoming fashionable again to reduce plastic use. I’m trying to find my grandfather’s.
Awesome Video! Smashed the like button, subscribe button and notification! Keep up the great work and finds!
My grandparents had stair rods. They (the stair rods, not my grandparents) were notorious for detaching and for the carpet to slip and cause falls.
Id love some of the carpet rod holders for my stairs. Brilliant finds as always x
Hola Simón ,enhorabuena ,estupendo vídeo ,gracias. Saludos.
Enjoy your banter, wish I could join you. Loved the vid...I suppose your fork collection is pretty amazing.
What I wouldn't give to have a vacation where I go larking with either you guys or Nicola, loads of great finds to be had along the Thames.
That "instrument" you found looks like the same type of tool used to pick up anything from ice to logs-the objects weight keeps it closed until it is set down then it is easily removed. ??
👍🏻It's hard work sometimes Mikee, we make it look easy...
Jessica Radway we think it's a curtain tie back
@@Sifinds The rewards are well worth the work though. Preserving history is a difficult job.

Was hoping you or Nic would have a look around these excavations... Good location scouting Si !
I would love to be able to be able to find some good old items digging in the mud around where i live. I do enjoy your videos and great old find.

Yet, on the old tips there's always plenty of multi coloured marbles knocking about anyway, strewth!
Ooh I love your videos. Great finds!! Been out detecting in Essex today but hardly any finds ☹️
Julia Cakebread Thanks! Where abouts in Essex?
North Weald, I went round the old redoubt, ended up in a field surrounded by hundreds of cows and all I found was a load of toot. Going to try round the old train station today and maybe the the old ww2 training forest 😊

The pen nib is from a dip pen. The nib was slotted into a usually wooden handle and dipped intothe ink wee. They were still in use in the 1950's when I went to school.
Around the first minute mark, there was a square piece of iron with a hole in it. It was from a cladded sailing vessel around the time of Henry V.
How on earth did you know that??
@@annekabrimhall1059 Time Team did an episode where they were trying to find Henry VIII's warship and they talked about cladded sailing vessels.
Do you think this was from bomb sites during or after the war, especially with the stair rod content and household contents ?
The white Jar is indeed a Ponds Cold Cream jar, we have an 1860's house in australia and when extending several years ago found one with the lid intact, showing an English country scenr with trees and a stream flowing through a field
Two discs look like part of a bracelet Asian inspired design which were popular in the 30’s, nice Tudor rose nice little goldmine you found there
sue mount Yes good thinking!

Nora Daniels it now hangs in my kitchen window!
@@Sifinds awesome. I bet it catches the sunlight fabulously.
Was that a ring above the "u" in FOUNTAIN at 09:04...
Great finds

some nice finds there lads cant wait for part 2

Constantly I feel the urge to grab things out of your hands, pick things up, search in the mud... frustrating!!
Did I imagine it? When you found the fountain pen nib it looks like there was a gold ring just to the left of it?
Karen Shortland it was a piece of china
i though the same thing.
Were house remains and other bomb damaged detritus bulldozed into the river during the wars? I love finding old bits and pieces, you have found some interesting things again :) Not a fountain pen nib, it's the kind that are attached to a handle and dipped into an inkpot.
Some fountain pen nibs were tipped with iridium or osmiridium, a precious metal at one time worth more than gold or platinum.
That hinged thing might be a laundrymaids tool, possibly a Goffering Iron, for crimping or goffering the lace around aprons. The other possibility might be a tool for crimping hair but that looks less likely to me.

Si-finds yes mate it is . I have a link somewhere to a good site for navy buttons I’ll post it later

Could your object be for cutting sugar from a cone. X🏴❤️
A 8:00 is it an old eye lashes curler?
Looks like it, bit cumbersome and brutal for that though I think?
@@Sifinds exactly it has to be crazy in cumbersome and totally over-the-top before it becomes tested and perfected and what we know as common today.

That little round brassy looking thing with the slot in is not a button but the top of a Christmas Bauble, where the hanging wire was.
The stair rod clips and rods are very much on trend again, as they were back then; it’s said the main reason it was done back then was to save money on carpet going right to the edges of the stairs, instead it was just a runner down the Center of the stairs then painted down the sides carpet held down with rods.
Is that Brass piece a Ship Navigation device?
Well done, Si
That razor is a Gillette old type, I still use one. You should clean it up it will probably still be useable since it's made from brass. It is also possible to replate them in nickel, would be an interesting restoration. Enjoyed the video looks like a great site!
Also the handle is off a razor too.
OldEngine Cheers mate. Can you still buy the razors to go in them?
@@Sifinds Yes really cheap too you can get 100 for a tenner, get a better shave than a cartridge too. You should give it a go it's definitely worth the switch.
The item you found after the marmite jar might be a bosuns whistle.
Looks like a brass tool for a watchmaker Si.
The brass tool looks like some type of calipers, maybe for grabbing hot or heavy objects
would those carpet thingies make cool napkin holders??
I cant quite understand...steer rod stir rod holder? What is that for??
Gustavo Mancuso Stair Rod holder mate
Did you just miss what looks like a brass ring beside the fountain pen tip? Something sjiny came out when you removed that decoy piece... 🤔
Nice finds!
They’d have to drag me out of there!
where did they dump rubble from the blitz? have you found a spot?
Kids in the 60s had a few marbles each even if you didnt have any toys, they were easy to gain and easy to loose too.
Was that a red clay pipe to the right in front of the puddle when you picked up the buttons? Under the rock you moved?
oh I would love to have a look around there.
That`s not a fountain pen nib,it`s from an old dip and scratch pen.They were usually wooden holders with a metal socket at the end of which that nib would have been placed.those were the pens that we moved onto into 1950`s primary schools from pencil or slate
Thanks for the info!
I went to a school that was still using those dip pens in 1968/9.
They were still in use in some schools in the 1960s. Blooming annoying things. Sometimes you couldn't even complete one letter of the alphabet before you had to re-dip. There must have been an art to it but I never discovered it. Give me a pencil & let me get my messege written. I still use pencils a lot. The tubes off of single use pens take millions of years to biodegrade. I cannot stand the thought of them littering the earth. Either get a pen that takes re-fills or use a pencil.

The brass tool thing looks like some sort of calipers or tongs. Like maybe ice tongs or coal tongs.
Some form of caliper?
If we can't get to the foreshore soon, I'll go mad!
Millie Williams haha, me too!!

At about 1:30 just before you told Rich to 'Fork off' Was there a little glass vial imbedded in the mud? (Also, I forking love your channel!!)
ahhhhhhh commented too soon. Inkwell it is. Well that's thames mud on my face! LOLOLOL
Yes it's the inkwell. Thanks for the compliment though x
15:25, the two discs are part of a cheap bracelet, possibly had gems in mounts soldered on.
White pots like that used to hold Ponds Cold Cream.
