Si! Aloha from Kauai- come hunt treasure here, man! I can hook you up with some private and secret places! Meanwhile I had to laugh thinking the old white pipe stems were lying everywhere back in the day just like those ever-loving vape stems are now! The diff being… these vape things are made of plastic and will NEVER go away 😢😢😢 We can only hope the future kids will look for vape stems (and have a way to get rid of them forever by then!) Again, aloha… Im a shell head beach comber of 60 years, and have been here on Kauai searching for 30… I keep it low tech. I invited Nicola a little while back and she wants to come, too! Lmk if you want me to help plan your trip 😊 Aloha, Christie Jones Thompson
Dont scare me like that Si!!!! You're one of me favourites.I get some luck in the mud when im out with you. You help a disabled lady leave her living room. That sovereign is amazing. Well done you.
Wow! Bloody marvellous, Gold!!!! What a fantastic load of finds to end the year with. I wish you more "luck in the muck" for 2025 HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL ❤🎉💫🍾🥂🍻🍾🎊🎇
I feel the same way! Simon you can't scare us like that! I Love watching your show! All the way across the deep waters in the USA! Jesup Ga! Amazing Finds! Keep up with the Luck In The Muck!
Oh my God! Well done Simon, and thanks to Cuffs for providing the permission. There's no wonder you're shaking. Best of luck continuing for more treasures!
Really Si your giving the old lady a heart attack. You are one of my distraction. I have breast cancer and watching you gives me hope and love your show. Thank you diane from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada
Black and white, sleek as mink short hair. FREE rescue too. Freyja is her name. My husband hated cats all his life cause one bit him, but our 4 year old granddaughter convinced him to open his heart. He loves her already ❤😊
Enjoy your new kitty . We got a free black and white kitten week before Christmas as free please take it and Miss Ethel now rules the house and our hearts
Waaaay! 15+ years and you’ve got your sovereign! You could quit a happy man but it’s exactly that which fires the passion- that & best buds who share the passion. You bring us a great bit of history! Much gratitude & support from the PNW in the states!!! Congrats!
OMG! Congrats on the gold sovereign! And if you ever scare us like that again, I just might have to cross the pond to shake some sense into you. Seriously, thanks for all the enjoyable luck in the muck over the years. You’re the best!
Si, you cant quit on us. We really need you to take us on more adventures. I love your videos . Wish u could be there. I lost my husband in july and your videos comfort me. Congratulations on your find. So happy for you.
My grandfather found a sovereign in a river on the day I was born. Its date is 1890. I’ve had it put in a mount similar to yours and I love wearing it.
I knew you were teasing us! Simon would never leave the treasures behind! I saw a show where they are digging some buried treasure that they never find for at least 10 years, and they find this piece of metal, and I look at it, and I’m like, oh that’s a button. They make an entire episode over finding a button, and you and Nic find them on the daily! Then here you are finding something actually valuable like a gold sovereign! Congratulations! Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person! ❤
So glad you'll still invite us to "come" with you. I always learn a lot. I live in Boston, MA, USA. I regularly find coins, household items, clothing. In a 6 week period in 2009 I found 2 cell phones, 2 blank checks drawn on the same bank, an American passport and a 6th item which I've forgotten now. You just never know.
So happy for your gold find!! And yes you scared us all with the thought of you quitting what you’re so good at!! You’re a character and we all love ya!! Keep on keeping on, Si!!
This was one I’ve been waiting for. No one deserves finding that gold coin as much as you Si! You’re a good man and let us crazies live vicariously thru your mudlarking with you. And you’re so much fun to watch! So so happy for you!! Cheers to the New Year bringing you even more amazing finds! 🍺🍺🍺
Congratulations on your gold coin, Si! 🎉…anytime Cuffs (aka, the man in black) shows up, there’s bound to be something exciting to be found. Happy New Year to you and Cuffs!
I love watching your videos! I'm visiting in London and I signed up for a Thames Explorer Trust group mudlarking outing. I can't wait! Thanks for your inspiration!
Had to pause at 4:29 to somehow actively share in your joy Si! I am sitting in my bed, smiling like a lunatic, because you found a sweet coin I've never heard of. What a fantastic end to your 2024. Also, loved your Christmas day stream, I caught up on later. You're such a good egg, I don't even know how else to explain it lol.
I love watching your videos, this one was a belter , well done you. I especially like the clean up at the end and your upcycles, keep up the good work ❤❤
So glad to hear your not quitting, your channel is always positive and uplifting , thanks so much for the hard work it takes to do your channel !!! Life is very tough for so many people these days !! My wife and I are struggling to raise two teenagers in this crazy ever changing world , one in college $$$$ so crazy expensive and another stubborn 17 year old , a senior in highschool , but I find peace and comfort in watching your channel !!! Thanks again Simone ✌️cheers
Just found you, hope you don’t give up, but I know you mentioned you have a full time job and as you’re videos are such good quality it must take you ages to edit them. Whatever you decide, wishing you well.
I just wanted to cry tears of joy for you. I have been watching you for several years and have purchased things from you because you bring an old lady such joy here in the USA. Congratulations and God bless, no it is not time to quit 😍🥰
What’s this my nr 1 mudlarking prince, really really please don’t stop, i have been watching you for 7 years now brother and it’s been a great time with you 🎇🎇🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations si i am so happy for you i know how long you have been waiting for to find a gold coin , happy new year and what a wonderful start to your new year send good vibes to you and cuffs for more great finds 🐱🐱🐱🐭
Carnegie bought land in the Upper East side in 1898 hired a company to build and moved into a finished mansion in 1902. They went back and forth between Scotland and England.
I’ve watched you find the gold at least 10 times now!! Keep rewinding and rewatching!!! So pleased for you Si!! ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for all the epic mudventures in 2024, don’t quit! I’ll cry!! Plus you’re going to find a gold stater next and you need to catch that on camera 😉 Looking forward to seeing what luck in the much 2025 brings x x x
The shrapnel item is known as a driving band; it's the part that seals the gasses to the rear of the shell and is generally made of copper. Si, nice vid!
Really enjoyed watching the beautiful video with lots of lovely information and mind-blowing findings. Enjoy With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥️
I was just about to be completely depressed, Si 😱 Very, very happy to realize that you didn't mean it seriously 😰 Glad to have you here.. hello from Denmark 🌸
Listen here Simon, who else am I going to complain about for not wearing gloves near rat urine or someone who is a magnet for unexploded bombs and guns? Keep blooding churning out the videos we love them.
Dead chuffed you got your long awaited find Si and on Cuff's permission. It was long over due. Happy New Year and here's to many more spectacular finds in 2025! ❤
Phew Sci !!!! Please don't say thing's like that! I love watching yours and Nicola's video's, you 2 are my utmost favourites to watch! Thank you for keeping going and all the very very best for 2025 💜🤗💜
@@Sifinds Ohh no m8, wasn't suggesting you sell it, its a keeper for sure 🙂 golds at an all time high, set to only go higher too, save it, enjoy it, i have a small stack of gold myself, its not going anywhere either 🙂
Simón aparte de entretener nos enseñas cultura,y muestras a una persona auténtica valiosa y siempre de muy buen animo ,y con muchos dotes artísticos te queremos y valoramos ❤❤❤❤❤un abrazo ni lo cuestiones ya ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was hoping when I saw last night the title of today’s video it was just click bait! I was worried all night! I’ve had a hard enough time waiting for a new video every two or three weeks! I really enjoy your outings and enjoy all your friends, it’s one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday. I live in Rhode Island in the USA and I do beach combing for sea glass and cool looking rocks that I tumble. Have a Happy New Year and I can’t wait to see what you find in 2025!
Cheers Val! It was a video I wanted everyone to see, plus it does have an element of truth. When you win your own personal World Cup, what’s left to win? But of course there’s lots more wins to enjoy! Happy New Year!
@@SifindsI absolutely enjoy your mudventures. I just knew you would never stop searching for treasures lol. Congratulations on your find. Much love from Ireland ✌️
Imagine how many things may have been plowed under after so many years of being used as farm land! So many wonderful things in one small field! 🎊🪅Happy New Year Simon! ✝️ God Bless and keep you safe! 🇺🇸 ❤🇬🇧
As a kid we went to the beach. There was a huge storm the week before. I can remember it like it was yesterday the noise the glare of the sun. It was 30 years ago now. But a gold coin was sticking out of the sand right and the break. I was to scared to run in and grab it and when I went to get my grandfather we were to late it was gone. I had grandpa dig and dig and dig. No luck. I still feel so sad we missed it.
Wow! How exciting to find the gold sovereign? I love the set that Wendy put it in, simple and elegant to showcase the coin. Quite a nice little bundle of treasures for you and Cuffs. I love the footage of your kitties in the snow. I always think animals' reaction to snow is funny and interesting. Our little dog, a toy poodle, loved the snow. She would put her nose down and do an impression of a snow plow. But she hated the wind. Your cats seemed to have the same reaction of many cats. "What is this madness!" LOL! Hope you are having a great holiday season.
So happy for you! And so glad you haven't lost your passion for treasure and history hunting. You scared me there for a moment. Cheers from California and Happy New Year.
Do you carry on? Si…I minored in history in college so I’m living vicariously through you &Nicola and all the other mudlarkers from all the way over here in my little Ohio Appalachian village. Y’all are doing what would be my dying wish…to gather small pieces of history along the banks of the Thames. So from one history buff to another yes, do carry on! 😊
So meny congratulations to you I remember about 5 yrs ago you say your big wish was to find that roman pt... You did... Now after finding that pot you said I would love to find a gold sovereign.. Look at you, you did it 👏👏👏 I'm so happy for you..... As for your quitting mud locking I THINK NOT , after all what would I have to watch at my age of 75 without you and your Adventures. Thank you for all the Adventures I have been on with front row as well.. Happy New Year 2025 I will be here for a little longer with you 🌹👏👏👏👏👏
Currently watching this waiting for the ball to drop here in eastern NC!! Congratulations on your amazing find!!! What a way to end another amazing year of mudlarking! Many best wishes for the new year!!
No because it’s not only hunting for treasures but history that can teach the future ! The Thames especially has so many secrets hidden in its murky depths and as our tools grow we will be able to build on the items more and more. Imagine finding a simple clay pipe and being able to trace the dna on it to find the modern day ancestors of the last person to have smoked it. Or finding an unseen traders token that opens up the ability to recreate their store based on a combination of knowledge and ai. History is such a massive book, with so many tiny fragments of it lost to time, that every item amazing people like you find offers us more information about not only the period it belonged to but the people who used it. Treasure to me goes beyond the coin hoards or the mystical metal hidden in a hole waiting for that final spade of soil to be removed so it can once again be shared with the world, it’s about the forgotten voices that had lives that were never important enough to fill the pages of books or alter the path of the future in such a way that they are remembered in school lessons for decades and centuries to follow. You are able to fill in the picture of what normal people were doing, drinking, eating even smoking! To me when I think about the many treasures lifted from the earth or mud the most precious items are probably the shoes, as each through its wear tells the story of its owner and invites the future to imagine walking in their long since perished footsteps. So no, not unless it is a serious risk to you and your health, should you give up, there is still so much more out their to find, to explode our minds and teach us, A bucket list of finds has no end, it just gets redrawn when one is successfully found! I am a tad passionate about this as you may see lol!❤ wishing you and everyone else in the comments a fantastic 2025 and keep making history folks x
Thanks a lot for all the content over the years! Been a big fan. The upcycling, bottle digs, mudlarks. Stay Goofy! And dont Stop making these great videos!
Si am so thrilled for you that you found a gold sovereign. You deserve it. I have goosebumps for you literally I do. I’ve watched for so long. I’m so happy for you so happy.
Cheers to you it’s cold and we moved to Tennessee for a no snow area and it followed us! Baby it’s cold out side and more snow to come. Keep warm yourself
Don't stop Si. It will always be in you. When I lived in England I got into buying and selling antiques. 16 years ago I stopped and moved to the Netherlands. I still have itching to get back to it, but haven't started again. It was a relief not to get up at the cracking of dawn, or earlier, to go to an antiques fair and yet that beckons me again. Nobody can make you do it. If you enjoy it, carry on.

So happy for you! And so glad you haven't lost your passion for treasure and history hunting. You scared me there for a moment. Cheers from California and Happy New Year.

Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡 I won’t x
Do you carry on? Si…I minored in history in college so I’m living vicariously through you &Nicola and all the other mudlarkers from all the way over here in my little Ohio Appalachian village. Y’all are doing what would be my dying wish…to gather small pieces of history along the banks of the Thames. So from one history buff to another yes, do carry on! 😊
So meny congratulations to you I remember about 5 yrs ago you say your big wish was to find that roman pt... You did...
Now after finding that pot you said I would love to find a gold sovereign.. Look at you, you did it 👏👏👏 I'm so happy for you..... As for your quitting mud locking I THINK NOT , after all what would I have to watch at my age of 75 without you and your Adventures. Thank you for all the Adventures I have been on with front row as well..
Happy New Year 2025 I will be here for a little longer with you 🌹👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much Tess! Appreciate all the years of support! Yes, you can’t get rid of me that easily 👍🏻🐾🧡

Thank goodness you’re continuing 🎉
No because it’s not only hunting for treasures but history that can teach the future ! The Thames especially has so many secrets hidden in its murky depths and as our tools grow we will be able to build on the items more and more. Imagine finding a simple clay pipe and being able to trace the dna on it to find the modern day ancestors of the last person to have smoked it. Or finding an unseen traders token that opens up the ability to recreate their store based on a combination of knowledge and ai. History is such a massive book, with so many tiny fragments of it lost to time, that every item amazing people like you find offers us more information about not only the period it belonged to but the people who used it.
Treasure to me goes beyond the coin hoards or the mystical metal hidden in a hole waiting for that final spade of soil to be removed so it can once again be shared with the world, it’s about the forgotten voices that had lives that were never important enough to fill the pages of books or alter the path of the future in such a way that they are remembered in school lessons for decades and centuries to follow. You are able to fill in the picture of what normal people were doing, drinking, eating even smoking!
To me when I think about the many treasures lifted from the earth or mud the most precious items are probably the shoes, as each through its wear tells the story of its owner and invites the future to imagine walking in their long since perished footsteps.
So no, not unless it is a serious risk to you and your health, should you give up, there is still so much more out their to find, to explode our minds and teach us, A bucket list of finds has no end, it just gets redrawn when one is successfully found!
I am a tad passionate about this as you may see lol!❤ wishing you and everyone else in the comments a fantastic 2025 and keep making history folks x

Wow really???? Cool
Good shout
Yeah I wondered that too
Si am so thrilled for you that you found a gold sovereign. You deserve it. I have goosebumps for you literally I do. I’ve watched for so long. I’m so happy for you so happy.
@@SherryRector Cheers Sherry! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Cheers to you it’s cold and we moved to Tennessee for a no snow area and it followed us! Baby it’s cold out side and more snow to come. Keep warm yourself
Don't stop Si. It will always be in you. When I lived in England I got into buying and selling antiques. 16 years ago I stopped and moved to the Netherlands. I still have itching to get back to it, but haven't started again. It was a relief not to get up at the cracking of dawn, or earlier, to go to an antiques fair and yet that beckons me again. Nobody can make you do it. If you enjoy it, carry on.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
My husband is a bench jeweler. We use cola in our tumblers with the steel balls for the best shine/clean up
