⭐️If you’ve enjoyed these finds check out my find of the year! ruclips.net/video/Htdjhb1quPo/видео.html ⭐️
The spike thingy is a fid used for rope-work, e.g. making splices or working knots. The groove at the butt end is for tying a lanyard that would be tied to your person so you could take it up in the rig and not lose it if you dropped it.
You're right duck. It's a splicing needle or spike. I used a pair of splicing needles on steel haulage rope down the pit, somthing I qas taught by a rope man when I was 17 back in 1977 .it actually served me well throughout my career working in the ripping, headings, and back rips, etc. Another dying skill. Have a wonderful New Year, duck.
That'll be a Marlinspike then.
Yep sailor’s fid, if only it could speak! It would say ‘oh not another knot’ 😂
@@SifindsI think you could infuse that with resin, of any colour, if you want that to last. And it would look pretty cool if there was the colour of the Thames infused in it!
@@laurieleannie nice idea that. There’s method of drying out wood which has worked well. So hopefully it will be stable as is 👍🏻🐾🧡
Do yourself a favor and order a rear view camera for your bike! I did and it was a game changer! No pesky mirrors to deal with and you'll never be looking over your shoulder
That’s a great idea! Where does the screen go?
@@Sifinds the screen mounts easily to your handle bars. Only takes 2 minutes to install everything!
You should always check your blind spots! Called a life saver in motorcycle training/riding, never get out of that habit!
Wow, such an intelligent little dog! She knew the piece of wood was too far away, so she brought it closer!
Concretions like the ones with the coin and the thimble are often the result of 2 dissimilar metals in close proximity in an electrolyte such as brackish water or water with tannic acid content. Decaying vegetation such as is found in river bottom mud can produce tannins.
Always check the concretion ('crud') for more inclusions.
Nice Bike BTW.
Happy New Year Si!
Very interesting cheers Dan!
Take care of that bike, Simon! Lock it up well when you're out on the foreshore -- it could be mighty tempting for some one to take off with! Happy New Year!!!
I hear ya dude. Which is why I bought a big chunky chain. In fact, between you and me, I parked it in an enclosed car park for free! Less chance of it getting nicked one would hope
@@Sifinds -- Yep! Those things look amazing -- Northern Mudlarks got a pair and they work really well for them. I'd love to get one since regular biking is now difficult with my artrhitic knee, but they are expensive *AND* in my area they get stolen (with serious chains/locks even) often.... Hmmm -- I am remembering a way to wire up the ignition coil of an old (6V) VW Beetle so that when anyone touches any of the metal on the bike, they'd get a serious shock! Haha!!!
Happy 2024, Simon! Here's to a new year full of amazing and historical finds! Love your channel!
Cheers Kathie. Happy New Year! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The wooden stake is a vampire stake for killing vampires. 😊
The coin stuck in the rock makes it look really old, and adds to it's story. Also, love that new bike. You can travel with ease and in class!!!🥰🥰🥰😎🙏🙏🙏
The spike is called a Marlin Spike, it's used to loosen rope from its moorings and for fancy knot work. The groove is for a line to keep it attached to the belt.
It is a fid.
@@ArrDee49 Never heard that one before. In the US Navy, we call it a Marlin spike.
A marlinspike is used in working with wire rope, natural and synthetic lines, may be used to open shackles, and is made of metal. A fid is used to hold open knots and holes in canvas, and to separate the "lays" (or strands) of synthetic or natural rope for splicing. Traditionally made of hardwood.
Poppy needs her own channel!!! P.S. so glad you're wearing your helmet on the bike. ❤
Yes that would be fun! Safety first. Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
Love hearing you and Jules get a chuckle on…..and poppy needs her own show…lol
Thank you for taking us on the ride to your digs.
Happy New Year’s Simon! I think your new bike is the perfect way to reach the hard to get to locations. Best wishes for Luck in the Muck in 2024!🎉
Right! Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
Happy New Year!
I’m sure Poppy loves it when you show up. I always learn something new from your finds - now I know what a fid is an its use. Happy New Year!
Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
What a great start to the new year…..love every thing you do, your videos are top class and content means we all keep coming back for more, what a great hammered coin find…you had, that’s a keeper
Always fun and interesting to follow you on your mud marking adventures !
Looking forward to your 2024 videos!
Happy muddy new year !
Happy new year Liz 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love your bike.It’s the perfect thing for larking about London 😊. It certainly beats the days I cycled about England on my Raleigh Ladies Touring Bike ,no gears ,facing such challenges as an almighty steep hill alongside ( if memory serves me)Chesil beach. Ah those were the days .I’ve got great legs to this day,which you’ll miss out on with that machine.Oh well, can’t have everything.
The stick is a fid used for rope splicing. I have a metal one with a broad arrow. 😄
That’s cool!
Great way to start off the new year with a Si Finds video. Love the bike & the three adventures. Happy New Year to you, the kitties, and the chicks!
Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
I was watching a programme on my phone " Who do you think you are " Ian McKenna " his families date back to someone who was in the " order of the buffalo "
I think that first item is the frame of a pair of opera glasses. Large hole for the tubes, small one for the focus screw
Good shout!
Next time you mudlark and Poppy is there bring a pocket full of kitty treats or a big dog bone keep her busy.
I hope you have a really strong lock for your bike
All the best in 2024 Simon. I love the bike and you look great on it. Thanks for all the incredible videos in 2023. Take care and cheers.🥂
Cheers LS! Happy New Year!👍🏻🐾🧡
Happy 2024. I look forward to new adventures. Love the new bike. The best way to get around London.
24:22 IS A STAKE TO KILL A VAMPIRE WITH AND ALL YOU NEED NOW IS TO FIND THE HAMMER. 🦇🦇🦇
Haha Don’t ‘Count’ on it 😂
It's always lovely to see Poppy, she's so joyful! Happy new year Si, let's hope it's a good one!
Cheers BeaEss Happy New Year!👍🏻🐾🧡

Haha! May you give me plenty of stick in 2024

Cool bike, please make sure you secure it so it doesn't get stolen! You might have to walk home otherwise! Nice finds ,especially the hammered half penny and the marlin spike. Heve a Happy New Year, and more luck in the muck!

Happy New Year Si!
Happy New Year, Si!
What a fantastic gift! Poppy waiting for you to throw a ball or piece of wood for her. You want to work and she wants to play. What a face on that Bellamine jug piece. Loved the Wally reference. Could that sharpened piece of wood be for repairing fishing nets?
Wishing you a very happy New Year Si . 🎆🎊
Good shout Coni, I have seen other fids elsewhere.
Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds Happy New Year to you and yours.

Its looke like a bail pin for splicing rope. Use on big squre riggers. Its a musum piece. My friend. ☘️🫶🕊️🦘👍
Wishing you the very best for 2024. Thanks for all the great videos this year and I’ll continue to look forward to all your new ones - keep ‘em coming xx

O Siu the tiny hammered coin is beautiful with its Tudor rose design. Great byke to get you about. Happy New Year and mudlarking in 2024.
Happy New Year Si Finds and Congratulations on your new bike
HNY Mary!👍🏻🐾🧡
Si, I hope you have a very happy new year!
It is for working with ropes. Like opening up a twisted rope to splice another piece of rope. I've used something smaller to do netting in macramé and netting.
Great adventure today. Wishing you a Happy New Year.
Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
Ooh I say don't tempt me re that stick ......Happy New year Mudlover x
Happy 2024! That bike is a gorgeous piece of kit! Have fun with it :-) - what you need is a third person who is specifically there to play with the beautiful Poppy! Sounds like a great day to me! Take care!
Si, be sure and always secure your e-bike well. In America they are currently the #1 item stolen because they are easily sellable due to demand. I use 2 uncuttable locks. Happy New Year 2024.
Happy new year Si🎉 Love your channel, hope you get more luck in the muck in 2024! 😊
Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
Love it !!!! Happy New Year !!! God Bless 💙👊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
The blob around the bolt is known as a “con creation”. I worked on an actual treasure hunting ship and the iron cannons commonly had cutlery, coins and everyday items seemingly welded together, I learned it was known as a con creation.
Love the bike Si and some fab finds
Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
Happy New year ❤
Nice Si-rusher! Happy 2024 from Holland🎉

@@TheNordicharps yes. Helsingborg, and still have many good friends there. I nearly moved back ten years ago having forgotten how harsh the winters are!
Congrats on your new bike! It's a beauty and you deserve it Si! Happy New Year!!!! Great finds today!❤
Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
Weaving tool or for Ropey in Dockyard
Happy new year Si great video 😘xx
Hi Simon, I am new to Mudlarking, and have been watching your channel & a few other Mudlark channel's on here for about 6 months now. I wanted to say that you & Nicola have the best personality & sense of humor for this type of hobby. I really do enjoy watching your content. Thanks. Kes (Nova Scotia Canada)
Happy Healthy Prosperous New Year, Simon!
Same to you Liz👍🏻🐾🧡
Leave the rock whole ! Polish the bottom of it smooth or cut it flush. Glue some felt on and use it as a paper weight! I’d buy something like that.
As always very enjoyable. Thank you Si 🎉 may you have a brilliant year.
Cheers Marie👍🏻🐾🧡
10:46 If you look at photos of 'antique' brass binoculars from the 30's and 40's it does look like the ring things that hold the two lenses together
Happy new year Si, leave it, loved the locket. 🎉❤👍🇨🇦
Cheers Mudlover! Happy New Year👍🏻🐾🧡
Now all you need is a little cooler or ice box to pack a lunch in for all day mudlarking adventures!
And lashings of ginger beer!!
The spike could be meant for staking vampires. 😂
Looks like Santa brought you a very nice present Mr Bourne. You must have been a very good boy! 😂 And a very Happy New Year to my fave Mudlarker. Hope 2024 brings you lots of exciting Mudventures and heaps of fascinating finds. Lovely to see Jules and Poppy again even if you did have to keep Poppy entertained. Jules knows what he's doing. 😊 ❤
Hey Anita! Yes, it’s like doggy day care when Jules brings Poppy along 😂
