Could be a hand drill or part to a ship or a Drs tool or a Japanese sword tool pin set for katana or something else just saying my honest opinion
What a great time we had in the mud! Love the purple in the bottles! Always a privilege to lark with you!
You come up with the most bizarre inventions for mudlarking. Love ya basket!
Love your shopping trolly 😂😂 so funny!
That large blue is fantastic. Well saved 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Ad! Next time remember what day we are going 😂
👍❤
missing the end, but a leather awl for poking the hole in hide before sewing.
I said the he same thing below......
@@joan7823 my apologies.... my cell doesn't allow me to see previous replies - am now on my main system to see this one.
I think the mystery object is a jeweler's hammer. Sets usually come with a variety of hardnesses, ranging from very soft leather and wood hammers to very hard ones.
Great suggestion thanks!
I also believe its a jewler’s bushing hammer. Not sure if spelling.
Good guess Peter, or maybe a gunsmith hammer.
@@wrxs1781 or pistol ramrod/cleaning tool/smithing hammer.
It’s a shillelagh
Don’t mind me running down in the mud 😂
They should make it an Olympic sport
10ish 😋🍻
Simon, why not take the broken ginger beer, attach a branch or perch next to the opening and turn it into a bird feeder? Speaking of a perch, perhaps the wood-looking mystery piece is a trained bird's perch. Those little ridges on both sides would give the bird a place to grasp on with their claws.
A Very Fine Cat Bowl Si Finds! Your bottles in resin are really COOL! And the “T” you found? To me the missing end might be a pen tip but why the weighted handle? I know, it’s a hammer for making chain mail during Roman times. But probably not! Or perhaps it was used as a mouse meat tenderizer for cats. Yep, that’s it! Kind Thanks Si Finds! The detectorama deal looked like a super Blast and a half! See you next time when you will finally find that ancient gold coin in the Muck! Many Blessings with Love, Light, Peace and Joy of Being and Luck inna Muck! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Now you have to ask what is a Japanese sword hammer doing in amongst Victorian bottles in the Thames? Each find generates more questions than answers! Thank you Simon, great video
You’re right! But we imported all sorts, just like the ginger jars and Chinese pottery etc
Soldiers brought all sorts of souvenirs back from the wars
Only Simon could have me google, "Japanese hammer for making swords" ...Now I'm on to the comments to see what others think. Wonderful group of friends, thank you for taking us along.
Lol. Cheers Leesa! Google away! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I didn't go through all the comments and hopefully someone else has mentioned this earlier: the beautiful bowl you found probably has a fairly high percentage of lead in the glazing. This was a common practice, as I'm sure you know, until the '50s and '60s. You might want to reconsider feeding Nellie from it and relegate it to holding flowers. I love your program.
I agree. I thought about that first thing. Don't want to poison your baby!!
Ah thank you
I agree with your friend its an Mekugi-nuki .... Japanese sword hammer, if you goole it there are numerous ones of varied designs x
I would say, that "Hammer" is a Sailmakers Tool. There has been a Spike at the end, to stitch holes through the canvas for sewing it 🤗
Nice suggestion! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Oh .. a "heaver"?
Sail maker's awls both vintage & modern have rounded handles that fit into the palm so I think this doesn't quite fit the bill.
@@rameyzamora1018 Thats true, if a Marlin spike it is a bit unusual, but we are talking a period where things was not as much standardized yet, and craftsmen have preferences.
It could maybe also have been a punch spike to facilitate sewing in leather
Hey! I love Adam…stop makin’ fun of his lovely jubbly basket. “I like the bow. Really sets it off” 😂😂😂
Come on… you can’t get away with having a basket like that around me 😉
Couple of lovely lads. Great finds today. Love the bottles and hammer. Oh wow that big poison, what a beaut!!!! "It's staying in my hands " love it. I do love the little bottles following it though. Some very interesting answers for the hammer, they all make sense. Will be very interesting to find out what it really is. Awesome.
It's a nut cracking hammer, isn't it? We used to have a wooden one that exact size. It probably went with a wooden nut bowl, with the same "log" look to it.
I think the mystery thing might be the end of a cheese tester (where they make a hole in the side of a cheese that is maturing and pull out a sample from the middle) the scoop bit is missing at the end if it is one of these but understandable if it has been rolling around in the river.
Such fun this video!! well I also agree about the relic being a Japanese sword hammer, that carving... Hello Adam, wonderful new name, and fantastic bottle found. I love the new bowl for Nelly, fits properly. Have a wonderful Sunday you all! ... (I mean, you have to find the answer for that specific object... that{s something else you{d found on the mud today... amazing)
Cheers Viky! Yes he was 100% positive it was for that! Haha
I love all of the guesses for the little hammer and hope you let us know what it really is, 😄🤣! The little dish is pretty and makes a great cat dish! I loved all of the mud in the first half, great fun! And i loved the little bottles in the clear stuff that looks like water! Sorry i can'tremember what you called it but they were cute! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
Mystery object looks like what is used to start a "patch & ball" into a black powder firearm, followed by the use of the ram rod to seat the patch & ball.
Cool. Thanks for the suggestion
Love your little bottles in resin. So cute. Thanks for another great video!😀
Cheers Lynne 👍🏻🐾🧡
Thats a strange one Si. If tou find out let us all know mate. Good to see Helen again. I used to be chef and landlord at Torquay United fc and had many a good laugh with her. Lovely lady.
The broken threads opens up so many possibilities but I'm going with parasol handle; one of those little frilly ones.
Nice idea! Thanks ☂
You had some great finds. The object you was not sure about, some people seem sure it's Japanese. The markings on the end might not be letters but actual writing in Japanese. Probably if it was for sword making. When they got down to the fine detail they would probably use it with different attachments on the end & a very soft hammer with a little bit of weight. Like a multi tool. Mr Miyagi would know.
That’s a good shout. Where’s Mr Miyagi when you need him. Haha
Is it a hammer to test reflexes on knees - if you shout ‘ow’ they still work 😂
Hello 👋 from New York USA Thank you for Bringing me Along with you I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊
The whimsical nature of the carved antler makes me think the 'hammer' was something as much decorative as useful; maybe just completely decorative. The effort and time needed to makes those grooves just gives me that vibe. So, cheese corer makes more sense to me than any kind of tool meant for rough, repeated use.
Cheers Paul 👍🏻🐾🧡
I am with you about cheese scorer. The hammer is to proof the sound and the other end ist to make a hole to get a sample?
That is an interesting thought. Certainly makes sense. Obviously the corer piece is broken.
I love when you do the little bottles in the resin with the ink coming out. I hope to one day catch them in your Etsy store.
The Japanese sword thingy guy seems very confident in his knowledge. I have no clue.
Love my pipe stems!❤
Brenda in Texas😁
He does 😂
Aloha Si...very cool those acrylic molded lil bottles encased ...love the purple one 🤙🏽💜
Looks like the handle from a toy/doll's garden fork/spade.
Good guess
That was a really great idea with the little ink bottles
Love cats. Read a recent article that advised putting their crunchies on a rimmed plate rather than a bowl to avoid, “whisker fatigue.” Their whiskers are very sensitive and they don’t prefer stimulate them squishing the sides of a bowl while they eat. I know, I know…it’s an annoying bit of knowledge….but I swear it’s true. They do prefer a saucer. Great hunt…loved the odd hammer. It is amazing you found out what it is. I was going for nut cracker.
Cheers. It was just for the video, normal bowl service has resumed
Hi Adam and Si. So nice to see you both mudlarking together. Love both your channel!! Thanks guys!
Cheers Gia 👍🏻🐾🧡
I'm claiming like number 700. ☺ Always great to get to watch your adventures Simon and what a great group of people you get to share your mud larking/metal detecting passion with! As always, All the very best to you.
Cheers Montana! Appreciate that! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Mystery object: I'm thinking a dock worker's hook, minus the hook
..looks similar, at least
but I do feel shot down by Andrew's knowledge 🤣
Wonderful people, great lark, beautiful coin finds!
👋 Adam @TheVictorianMudLark
hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
I agree with you! or a boot hook, like one uses to pull up riding boots.
Cheers Z! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I thought the same. For hooking bales.
Yep, we thought "hook"! Dockworkers hooks were generally more curved but....
Japanese sword hammer is the most romantic notion. That gets my vote. Man I never know what you'll come up with next!
Love from the old lady in Texas USA may God bless you always
Love from the old lady in Texas USA may God bless you always
I think that it's a "Ball -Bullet Starter" from the mussel loading days. I have one similar to it, a piece of brass was screwed in to the end. On the other side of the pond, we still have a primitive hunting season when you can use all black powder weapons.
Regarding the hammer: I think it’s from a dinner gong. Some have a hook screwed into the end so that it can be hung up to the frame when not in use.
Nice to see adam again, looks a great day out, good amount of bottles and that item which looks like a little mallet is so well made for its time, it be great to see what it is, keep up the good work
Cheers Kim! 👍🏻🧡😂
As a sailing ship enthusiast I reckon a better suggestion would be a Victorian shipwrights caulking mallet which is used to push old rope between planking and deck boards. It would be used to hit a caulking iron (a bit like a bolster chisel). Most ships and boats would carry them .
Wow Adam definitely got the best find,I’ve got the exact same bottle and it’s my favourite out of my collection
It was awesome. Amazing it survived!
could it have been for making holes in leather...Saddles
Nice guess
It's so nice to see a young person interested in finding treasures, I will check his channel out .
Hey Simon, this was so fascinating! Wonderful to see Adam...so he is the Victorian Mudlarker? Will check him out for sure. And your little hammer....showing it around to others who have a great love for all things old and historical, and mysterious and getting their impressions was interesting and entertaining! Always look forward to your new videos, watch the older ones and re-watch quite a few of those 😎👍🎨
Ha si that blue bottle he found its as big as mine I found😊👍
Now to find the Japanese sword restoration Master to aid in the restoration process of the hammer. I'd bet the farm that that there is the rarest item plucked from the river or any lacking adventure in London.
Hi, because of the screw end I believe it is modern. Plus while you were going around what it was made of changed from bone to antler which is the same sort of stuff. But I do think it is a modern pen part.
I think the screw bit at the end is the key to your mystery item. It seems when whatever was screwed in there broke off then the rest of it was ditched. If it was a hammer then you'd expect the ends to be worn and you wouldn't see the markings so perhaps it was more of a handle than a hammer??? Having been dropping in an area where there were boats perhaps it was to do with splicing ropes and it's missing a screw in spike?? I have seen a rope splicer of a similar shape but not decorated in a wood effect like that........ That's probably not much help I'm afraid. 🤔
Looks like a break glass hammer. For fire alarm and suppression equipment and shutdown switches. There are other uses. Can use it like a hammer or use it to poke the glass out of the switch or box. They will rust up like that as they are not good metal.
I am going to throw out my guess. Basing this on the threads on the inside to me it looks like it could be a tool called a Barrel Bung Puller, however, I can't seem to find any examples of ones made of antler
auctioneers gavel ?? or a cheese makers trier....then right at the end....i do not think it is a mekugi-nuki hammer...
I have a antique brass bell that sits in a stand on a desk. It came with a little hammer like yours to ring the bell. I wonder if that's what your hammer is.
Ooh possibly 👍🏻🐾🧡
I read through lotsa comments looking for the answer to the mystery object.. it's 2 weeks later.. my guess is a decorative bung hole auger reamer thingy for a wine barrel..
Thanks for the larks in the muck! Happy days!!
I thought maybe an old gunsmithing hammer made of antler it wouldn't damage the wood or metal a lot of the old muzzle loaders were held together with pins or wedges
Such a great video today Si ! Love the little hammer thingy, and Adam's Poison bottle is such an Awesome find ! Love your little penny perfume bottles in resin as well! Much love from Louisiana ❤️❤️
Cheers Mello!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Looks like it could maybe be a 'seed dibber' which is similar to that shape with a metal spike screwed onto the tip
I was thinking that the mystery find held a hook…hay bale grabber or ice block grabber.
Nice idea. A bit dainty for that perhaps
I always enjoy your vlogs. Entertaining as always.
Thanks Steph!!
Oh wow great blue bottle Adam
Nice to see father & son out mudlarking! Perhaps it is a nut cracker or something, seeing as it has a wood effect?
Always look forward to your video's great adventure 😁😁
Cracking finds on this one .
Cracking bunch of lads !
I even had me wellies on when I watched it lol : )
Having googled a few ideas for the mystery object I think it is the top of a cheese tester. The metal part having been broken/unscrewed. One of the photos I saw had a very similar shaped handle made from oak.
That little hammer" looks like it might beat a drum of some sorts?...
They hold the drum under their arm?.
Changed my mind..
Could it be a tool to punch holes in leather?..
Some nice finds. That big cobalt blue is the largest cobalt I have ever seen dug up. That one wins for today
Cheers Rob! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love the bottles in acrylic resin. I think I agree with Chris that the little hammer was for cracking nuts
Great fun in the mud today Adams big poison bottle was fantastic and I like the sword idea for your little hammer.
Cheers Iain 🗡
Guesses, guesses on little hammer. 🤔
Medical Lobotomy hammer (or dental hammer).
Crab/Lobster claw or nut cracker.
Auction hammer.
Coin hammer. (Not likely)
Attitude adjuster?🤣
Love ya Si. Keep them coming. This whole video was fabulous! Adam's bottle was superb too!
Attitude Adjuster! 🤣
Thanks so much Karen!! Appreciate that 👍🏻🐾🧡
I think the mystery object may be a little hammer for working soft metal or leather, maybe into bowl or spoon shapes. Some antler or wood with a convex rounded end as an anvil would allow you to stretch the metal near the circumference but leave it alone at the center so that it would cup. I lean toward metal, but maybe a cobbler could use it to make room for a bunion🙂
Cheers Karl! Very interesting
Awesome Si, love your bottles in resin . Another great adventure. Till next time . 🌞🐘🇨🇦🍁
Chers Marion 👍🏻🐾🧡
That hammer find really generated a wide range of opinions as to it’s use. Intriguing indeed!! Si, perhaps you should change your mud shoes for the type that the Mudpies use. Your meet with the detectorists was a brilliant, those humorous clip inserts were brilliant. Had a lot of laughs.
I was thinking it might be for leather working / 👞 making? Sole finishing? To set or push on a glued section. You wouldn't be able to hit anything metal with it, at least nothing more than a tap. * How about a pipe carvers hammer? For sculpture.
OMG! Just how do you think or imagine these things (the artwork or "up-cycle" projects) ?!?! They look amazing, realistic in the sense of the goal of something spilling from the bottles, and your use of color is spot on! Watching in amazement and enjoyment... West Virginia, USA.
Thanks my friend! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Wow, what an exciting episode! Fabulous finds all round and so much fun to watch everyone declare they knew exactly what the mystery object was lol. Aww Nelly cat and his new vintage bowl, bless.. Thanks Si xx Teresa 🇦🇺❤
Beau Travail comme d'habitude🔬🎬🍀Alex France🙏🌌
Another idea for the mystery object. The detected metal might be where the long piece is screwed into the short handle to make it strong. With no obvious wear it must have been used carefully. My thought is that due to its size it is an elaborate victorian boot hook, minus the hook.
An Awl for making holes in hide/leather/blubber ? Mekuginuki hammers were traditionally made of brass or black iron.
That artifact reminds me of the kind of hammer used for tapping brads in making picture frames.
Hi , U watch this video from A moving train . I really don't know what this hammer like thing is ? But I am along with Nelly , we simply know how to enjoy.
Did my ultra run 84.4 km on Wednesday on highway 🛣, it was hot sunny 🌞 than rainy 🌧 , full of dust n busy town. But completed and got Trophy 🏆, cap , tee shirt 👕, a smart watch ⌚, Towel, 2 protin packets , Rs 2000 cash 💸. BIB n e certificate. ..... really enjoyed, as it's organized by Tata group ( Titan watch division). Have fun , 👍
With love from SAM
Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥
We’ll done Sam. Keep on running 🏃🏿♂️
Could the mystery item be a bag seal stamp? Cheers from Australia.
I’ve never seen one to be honest 👍🏻🐾🧡
i think your mystery find could be a ram for loading a black powder pistol
Good guess. Your avatar is hilarious 🐜
@@Sifinds
Maybe a toffee or watch makers hammer?
I love the 'cheese corer' man's hat! at 27:53 Julian? Where'd you get that?
I wonder if the mystery object could be a handle for an antique auger or cork screw. I don't think it would of been used as a hammer as they wouldn't of had the engarved letters on the edges for they would of worn down with usage, and I am thinking the letters are maybe the initials of the owner. Also maybe just a decorative piece with a pen end. Love watching your channel and learning so much about your great finds.
The bottle of Eno brought back memories. Mum used to buy it and every day after school I'd have a glass. I loved the taste and the bubbles.
I believe it to be a sail makers punch- for a fixing grommets ( place video of dog grommet here)! Great content always.
Haha. 🐶 cheers Curtis
So I saw notifications popping up from The Victorian Mudlark and ignored them because I couldn't remember subscribing to any such channel, all while wondering what happened to Adam..hahaha!! Loved that little hammer Si (whatever it was for!). What an amazing blue bottle that was that Adam found! 😍 Thoroughly enjoyed as usual and I'm glad you had Adam along.. such fun!
Thanks Petri 👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds You're welcome Si! Are those Penny Perfume bottles in resin available in your store? They're lovely!
@@petrichor7121 Cheers P. These were sold a while back but I plan to make some more. Keep an eye out 👍🏻
Cool jars and bottles.
Great video!
Nice find! And did you see the Gold noble find from the scottish detectorist? It was so beautiful. The bowl for your kitty was the perfect size too!
Have seen similar item that was used to splice ropes together on old sailing vessesls
It looks like a 'obbit 'ammer to me . . Great video, Si! Thanks for sharing with your fans. Take care and 'appy 'untin' !
Haha. Good guess 👍🏻🐾🧡
The little bone hammer could just be a Childs toy, I vaguely remember having a little wood hammer that looked like that, that went with some sort of peg board thing where you just practiced hammering. Maybe the one you have was just a home made one for the persons kids to play with to "Do work just like dad"
Good idea!
I am very disappointed no one assumed it might be a tiny niddy noddy ;)
Lovely video, lovely people, lovely finds and lots of mud!🤘
I love it🤟
Mystery find might be a dockers hook maybe 🤔🤷♀️
But i kind of hope its a japanes swordmakingtool...😎👍
And as always happy sunday with u Si 💕🌻💐
Nice guess. Cheers Elin 👍🏻🐾🧡
9:15 looks more like top part to a cane than a hammer. The initials carved on both ends are probably the owners initials.
As my old gran would say, it's a pudden (sic) basin....just right for Nellie's nosebag. I agree with Julian that it's a cheese corer. Love the big blue bottle!
Cheers Terrie! 👍🏻🐾🧡
It could even b a crutch for a little kids doll
