- Follow Si, Matt, Monika, Myke and Stu as they makle their annual pilgrimage to Richmond for the annual 'Draw Off'. The river is low, and expectations are high as a surprise hoard is uncovered...
Another superb vid, Si-Finds. You are completely right, re the efficacy of the offerings. It was once explained to me (long story) that it was no different from throwing a coin in a wishing well and the money then going to a charitable cause as far as the original offerer was concerned. It’s the act of making the offering that is crucial.
Keep up the great work
Chris Morgan Top comment. And coming from a Vicar those words carry much gravitas. Thank you
You haven’t been to the casinos. The charitable cause is the owners wallet lol
@Mark Thomas So how does an "adult religion" go about it?
Mark Thomas Hi there!👋🏻 I came into the conversation late.... but I think disagree with you. I’ve often as a Christian tossed a few coins into a river praying for God to bring them to someone who needs them. I’ve not really thought about someone who’s a Mudlarker by trade... but I trust God enough to let Him to figure out where and with who the coins go to. My husband and I give at church ...a substantial bit actually...we also donate to
homeless shelters, St. Judes,
food banks, homeless shelters
Christmas Tree Angels👼🏼 🎄 Wounded Warriors, Veteran’s Hospitals, Wounded Veterans, battered women and children, sick babies.....and yes, I toss a couple of coins in fountains and off boats or banks or bridges and fountains. we have purchased and had a small lock engraved and fastened it on a bridge in Paris.. (yes I know it will be cut off) done in love!! We love all kinds and colors of people, Dogs AND cats all or most animals.. I’m not fond of rats, spiders, ticks or fleas. I believe we must give to others and it’s good for us too. I believe it’s my choice to toss coins into water and make a wish....not because I think it’s magical but because it’s FUN!! And when life is at a dark point it helps me feel a bit better to remember the joy I felt while tossing those coins whether alone or I find best with small children and/or my hubby. I pray you all are able to find some peace or joy somehow recently. May God bless you and those you love today and and everyday to come😘 If today is a particularly bad day may He give you and yours the strength you need to make it through it. Please accept my condolences if it’s a particularly awful day...xx❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
The 10 coin is first decimal coin ... Australia. First minted in 1966. The Australian pirates of that period regularly pillaged the Thames from their base in Tasmania.
And we're home by supper! 😂
Incredible find! Great work. The swans are quite lovely. Thank you for sharing this.
That looks like so much fun! Wow that tied really comes in fast. When it's time to go it's time to go LOL! 😁👍
I don’t know why I never got into your videos before but the more I watch them the more I like you. You’re such a good guy and doing it for all the right reasons. Gives me faith in people! 👍🍾💖 You will find loads of offerings there it’s due to boat tours along the river, my original part of town. Not sure the ashes are are going back to the Ganges though. 🤦♀️
Love your videos and enjoy the "clean up" music and presentation at the end. 👏💟
Brandy Rose Thanks!!!
That looks so fun! I would want to be there one day
Nice video!!
Nice lark, loved the George 111 half penny magic ! Thanks for sharing
Nice finds. Enjoyed watching this.
what a great find with all the money...well done..
Angela
I enjoyed this video Si. Interesting to see the different landscape there. So different to my stomping ground! Lovely to see Monika too. See you soonest. Nic
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art Cheers Nic!!! Yeah totally different. U should join us next year!
Great finds, Si, and your friend, too!!! That horde, wow! Btw, the figured piece you found is Krishna, Hanuman on his shoulder, and the sacred cow. Krishna was a cowherd that's why the other tokens show him walking with the cow (but that's not why the cow is considered sacred, oddly enough). The elephant on the other tokens represents Ganesh.
Looking forward to your next larkabout!
Hi si I would love those Indian tokens...great video.. addicted to your larking. .bright blessings gary
In the case of the missing elephant, Holmes and Watson had occasion to spend a penny, in the literal sense, as a tip to a small boy standing by the river side, "gawd bless you sir, but the fiend went that-a-way" he said pointing avidly to the newly-built Hindu temple. Holmes told Watson to hold his ground at that very spot and to load his newly-bought .338 Adams revolver whilst he himself returned to the shrine the recovered bag of gold offerings, in replacement of the lead counterfeits. Watson, his fingers shaking in expectation of the violent encounter yet to come fumbled in his leather-gloved fingers and a single .338 round fell to the hard ground, skidding noisily into depths of the icy river, "Damn and blast my butter fingers!" ejected by Watson were the words that alerted the fiend to Watson's presence by the river side.
Haha, brilliant! You can think up better stories than me!
Mudlarking swans how cute is that! Congratulations on the hoard!
That's a lot of offering tokens! Congrats on the coins & relics guys! GL & HH!
I'm pretty sure your "10" coin is an old Australian 10 cent piece
bfk1970 Spot on! I forgot to mention that!
Yes! With the lyre bird .... Great finds Si... From Australia!!
I just said that, n then I see your comments. Lol.
Not much in Oz is old!!
I was going to say not Guernsey but it's been Id'ed as Oz
Hey . Great video. I metal detect, mudlark and magnet fish here in N.C. USA. My name is Dirt Digging Granny. I dig with my young grandson. I hope to have my own channel one day soon. Keep the great videos coming. I love watching them!
Wow, congratulations on your discoveries. Thanks for the explanation of the purpose of the offering and that the collection of them is acceptable.
Jay Bales it’s also Good Luck to find them so I’ve recently learned!
I thought the offerings pieces and the one you found would make a good windchime - add some beads and a topper and I can hear them tinkling in the breeze !
Amazing find Si beautiful video thank u si
George tge 3rd. My wife’s family land in Kentucky has him as the name before theirs. They came over the mountains with Daniel Boone and have been there since. I buried her on that land 20 years ago
Well done all round, a nice hoard for an annual event. Take care...
John King Cheers John!
I really like the way you use a record and turn table to show your cleaned finds of the day.
Wow!! Absoulty amazing mate so many coins amazing, defo need eagle eyed vision for mudlarking great video again really enjoyed it 👍😁☘👍😁☘👍😁
The Eire Digger Cheers pal!
Have always wondered what the blessings are on the tokens, may never know. Must be nice to splosh about in a fresh place now and again - every year a fresh layer of ooze to hunt in 😁 I need to find some ooze. Great video, thanks!
Samantha Cotterill Thanks Sam.. we call the especially wet mud ‘gloopy’, haha. Yeah it’s always fun trying a new spot!
Howdy Mr. Si-Finds! I discovered your site by accidentally finding Nicola White's site. I love it! I've been a collector of "things" all my life but don't have anything like your Thames here in California. As a kid I hunted the dry river beds here but the oldest historics are only late 19th Cen. The best stuff was Indian artifacts several thousand years old but that's illegal now. Watching your vids is almost like being there myself. Thanks very much for posting.
Bluke Blue Thanks for the kind words my friend! More to come soon!
Your not kidding about illegal..if you get caught walking in a field looking down, it's straight to jail here in the South..It's so bad a little kid picked up a eagle feather outside a country animals on display farm and the Police arrested him..an 8 year old!!!! $2,500.00 fine!!
Si, I love the head cover!! I have a distant cousin that rides for Trek bikes, in the Tour de France! Buddha ridding a sacred ox? Or Ganesh but Sanskrit on the bottom. I love the elephants!! All good things to find! great hunt!
Mary Degenkolb Thanks Mary. Very interesting! I do like to cycle a bit too!
Great video, I used to fish exactly on that stretch as a teenager back in the 80’s. My step brother fished an old Bren gun from the 2nd world war a little further up from where you were.
Good hunt Si keep them coming
GL&HH
Alex🏴👍🏻
Hammy Hunting Cheers Al!
You found an aussie ten cent piece all the way over there! Thats pretty cool :D New to your channel , really enjoying your uploads, Thanks for your hard work! Love from South Australia x
Lou Marlow G’day Lou! Thanks for the support!
The Triangular tokens have a Magic-Square on the reverse side.
Each row, column and diagonal adds up to the same Magic number.
Super finds! 😁👍
you found an Aussie 10 cent coin and it has a lyrebird on the front .Lyrebirds are so called due to their tail feathers form the shape of a lyre . They are also very good mimics of other birds calls.
Philbo Baggins Cool!
Nice lot of finds guys! Interesting to see an Aussie 10 cent pop up in the Thames, down here in Australia I've found a few Brit coins up in Sydney including a couple of 1 pound coins and a 2p. That 1947 shilling is a cupronickel so no silver content unfortunately, 1947 actually was the first year all British silver coins went to cupronickel metal composition.
The beautiful iconic Lyrebird was instantly recognisable.
☮❤🦘🇦🇺
This time you found a lot of coins and interesting things. Till end of year could be more of them...😀👍🙏
Cool finds. Those Indian offerings are really cool
You lucky bastards.....I am jealous....LOL....This was AWESOME GUYS
lived on the river for a few years in my narrowboat.was .lovely ..may buy another boat one day and return..
Swan; National bird of Denmark... Nice finds btw, I like those meditation coins ...
Nice finds Si!
I wondered about what people's opinions were regarding taking offerings and it's cool you checked that they didn't mind.
Hello from TEXAS! Beautiful pence coins, I do metal detecting i found a twenty pence coin, n a large copper cent 1787 , beautiful , coins, very good video, I subscribed.
Minnie Earhart awesome. A 20p in Texas!!? They do get around don’t they? Thanks for joining our mud gang!
Well Sci after 2 hrs I am the 17th reply with 68 thumbs up. Not bad. I guess I am not the only one addicted to your videos. Another wonderful video
dbn52 Cheers Pal. It’s all real life treasure hunting... that’s the beauty of it, you never know what’s gonna come up next!!! Thanks for watching!
Awesome finds!
Canadian History Hunter Cheers dude!
I do miss living in Richmond, I find myself on the Devon Cornwall border now which is nice, but I do miss that river
Bert Sedgwick Have you mudlarked on the Tamar? Must be loads of lovely historical finds to be had there I would've thought.
Glad to see a new vid pop up. Have been having mudlarking withdrawals 😂
Tracey Bradshaw Haha. Thanks. It hasn’t been that long since my last vid has it? 🙂
Si-finds my problem is that I only discovered your vids a few weeks ago, then I binge watched everything and now I have to wait for new content like everyone else 😂
Tracey Bradshaw Great that You enjoy them Tracey! I’ve got a back log of vids to edit and post so more to come soon!
Greetings from Richmond on the James.
Well done 👍🏽
Australian 10 cent piece with a Lyrebird on it. Spendable in Oz, not that you'd get much with it these days :)
Great finds
Si, that 1777 Georgian coin is beautiful.
I love the tokens too and am pleased Matt found a couple.
Monica's Islamic platter is gorgeous.
I really love mud Larking never knew about it to a few weeks ago,,,
Very interesting finds, prayer tokens, coins, sweet hunt. I really like that brass plate at the beginning, did she find out how old it is?
Your swans seem nice, here in California the geese are evil creatures that attack. I'm jealous of the history in the ground there, here in CA the old stuff isn't metal so it's just normal eyes only larking and some 1800's stuff around SF, mainly glass and pottery and rarely some silverware.
And a great time was had by all! Nice video, Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
It's not every man that can pull off a yellow hankie Si 😈😃
Lol 😄
wow great finds
Omg. Nice! Like 👍
great little hunt mate
sandscratcherbri Cheers mate!
Australian 10c coin! Well done. :)
Your 10c is an Australian coin Spendable here Down Under 😀
Hi guys love watching your vedios...the indian tokens are the astrological offerings..say to calm or strengthen ur planet...:-) the god on the buffalo
is lord sani( god of Saturn)..:-)good wishes from Nepal...
Si are you a biker? Loving your vlogs and finds x good collaboration x don't forget a Christmas special! !!
Sue Taylor I’m a cyclist! Thanks for your kind comments! Xmas collab is on the cards!
I know this video is 6 months old and you probably already know but your 10 coin is Australian 10 cents, it's our current currency but you can't buy anything with it unless you have lots more to add.
Also loved the coin hoard so amazing.
Yep Australian 10 cents, the bird is a lyrebird. It mimics other bird calls but has the most amazing tail feathers
Really great lots coins
Do fish have one inch of land not polluted with trash?
Yes.. my pond...
@@johndory4331 that is filled with shit
I live in Richmond, Virginia. We are named for Richmond-on-the-Thames. William Byrd II thought a bend in the James River, reminded him of your Richmond. I don't know if anyone mudlarls around here.
That was fun!
It’s an Australian 10 cent piece. It’s a lyre bird on one side and queen on other. 🇦🇺
YAY a new video! Hope you've been well, Si. Are you saying mud lovers or my lovers? The metal detector in Clegg says that and I'm not sure which, just that I find it weird lol Amazing you found a hoard. Congratulations :) Beautiful swans.
simhi free Alright Mud Lovers! Thanks for watching!!
perfect timing with the vid. I'd just put the kettle on too 😉
Patch the-first I aim to please 😉
What do you mean " if only they were silver" I think you meant " if only they were GOLD" ha ha ha... nice finds, thanks for sharing...😊
What he meant was prior to 1920 they were 92.5% silver content. 1920 to 1946 the silver content was 50%. After that date nil silver content. Prior to 1971 decimalisation there were still some pre 1920 coins in circulation (i.e. 6 pence, now 2.5p or 1 shilling = 12 pence, now 5p) which were worth a lot more as scrap than their face value.
neville mason yes I know, I was just saying it would of been nicer if it was gold...
You don’t take your live rounds home? I currently have 6! Going to hand them in at some point though because obviously it’s for safety
6:22 those have number squares on the back. Each column adds up to the same number. 15 or 36... I found one near blackie spit in Vancouver
Green Team BC written in Hindi or Urdu?
Don't bullets have lead in them? Always fun to watch. Thank you
Oooh, hang on. I need a bottle of wine for this... brb.
Righ Mudsquad, I'm back. *pops cork*
I'm going to let the boys play time team tomorrow- let you know if we find anything good Shelly! Right near roseberry topping, hoping to find me a pet viking xx
@@moomoosnmummy Oooohhhh, exciting! xxx
You recovered a Aussie 10 cent coin. It sure is a long way from home.
Just started this video and what Monika found almost looks like a shield tho it is probably to then to be a shield, but that's what I thought it was at 1st glance lol
Mate, I think you might have an Australian 10 cent piece. I'm not sure, cos I didn't get a good look.
What do you do with all the Indian tokens you find? The coins would make awesome money clips! TFS.😊 💖 👍 😉
Enjoyed the video what did you clean your finds with please keep the videos coming GL&HH
Paul Parnell Hi Paul. Usually electrolysis, then a fibre glass pen. Then I might ‘smoke’ the object to highlight the detail.
Would be nice to see you guys put the offerings back into the water and leave them there.
They're lead love, which is poisonous
What was the music you played when you were showing the cleaned up finds at the end? I liked it !! :-D
Quick question
Do u have to have permits over there to look for relics or is it just the Thames
River u need 1 i love looking for bottles in new Zealand just walking down river banks
Si you could make a wind chime with the offerings
Unfortunately, that 1947 shilling doesn't have any silver content. It's a cupro nickel. The last year for silver in English circulation issue coins was 1946.
Do wonder if that knife you found was a fleam for bloodletting?
hey Si i live here in the United States of America and the people metal detecting love finding those kg2and3 they call them coppers here i belive it was our first currency but they hardly ever look as good as the one u found so do you find them quite often and how old are those Indian offerings ty for taking the time to answer my question God bless you my friend
Mike Baize Hi, yes the KG pennies and half pennies are relatively common. But I still love finding them and being the first person to touch them since they were lost. Imagine who lost it?!!! The Indian offerings are quite modern 5-30 years old....
Had a great time tagging along with y'all today. It's always great fun with you and your friends! ~Jen
mymagiclieswithin Glad to have you Jen!
Do you ever sell your finds... Like your bottles you make into vases?
Nice
Lovely stuff. Loved the Georgian ha'penny's. If you don't mind me asking, how did you clean up this coin Si? I've found some nice shillings, old pennies, vicky farthings etc on the foreshore and have always found Brillo is the only thing that cleans them. Always nervous about doing damage though... Great video matey 👍
Kevin Cox Cheers Kev, I use Electrolysis, a quick google will show you how... 🧐
@@Sifinds thanks Si. I appreciate the advice mate.
Aussie 10 cent coin noice one 😀
Si prefer the more upto date beanie hat xx
@ 00:20 I would like to see you video the river Thames being drained. That is some Moses type of feat.
What type of detector you using? Great vids
Thames Laser Scout and a Fisher Gold bug
At 5:10 when you were messing with half an iPhone there was a ring in the mud you missed.
One of the misc items is a part of army backpack/webbing or someting simliair.
do you have names for all the different types of mud like the Eskimos have for different types of snow?
