Watch me find a WW2 shell case!
The revolver is a Harrington & Richardson Safety Hammer Double Action in 32 S&W.
The Thames is like a giant treasure chest. It's hard to believe the amazing things you can find there and the diversity of items. I lived in London for nearly four years in the early 2000s and you can bet if I'd had any concept of mudlarking the Thames I'd have been there at every opportunity! We don't have this kind of concentration of treasures here in NZ so I will continue to just be envious of these videos! So enjoyable, thank you! Love the clean ups and upcycling too, and 'meeting' all of the great people you mudlark with in your videos. What a great bunch of people 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I came here from Nicola's channel, I'm really loving your videos and am having a binge watch of them tonight...but I had to laugh, Nicola is always so gentle when excavating finds and there you are literally stabbing the light with your trowel lol >_<
Another FABulous spot you found before it gets smashed and gone forever. Just think, those lovely items, padlock, gun, green post top, cutlery, etc, etc, would never have been discovered. Thank you for rescuing them and for sharing them with all us armchair mudlarks! Hooroo from Down-under. 😁🦘
I love how you pick up a variety of items and not just one type, then give the history if it can be found. Makes for a great video, thank you!

Love it when you dig the history out and research it , brill ! Keep em coming 👍
Great as always, I really enjoy the historical context you provide for your finds.
You teapot . . . Collected you 😂.
Love the padlock! I am imagining in my mind that it was on a sailors locker safeguarding worldly possessions. And the pencil! Neato!
Really enjoyed watching you and Stu. You both had lots of cool finds. The way you clean-up everything and present them is greatly appreciated. The histories were interesting. Thank you Si <3
My Dad worked at Harrington and Richardson's. I still live in Worcester, Massachusetts . What a find! Thanks for the memory 👍💗✌️
Thank you for sharing!
Wow, great finds, thank you for posting.
I can so totally relate to the thrill of digging up bits of the past and it's so gratifying, even as only a watcher, to see them later revealed as great bits of history and sometimes with a new beauty. Thanks guys, you (and Nicola) have got me totally hooked as a 'mudlover'.
I have to say, it's amazing and satisfying to see the finds cleaned up: a wonderful historical repository of finds! I'm watching you videos, by the way, in the early hours of the morning (serious jetlag after visiting family in the States), and thoroughly enjoying some 'me time'!
Awesome video!! What a great spot to find!! So much history!! Thank you for sharing!😃
Hi. The jar that you found at the start of this video once contained Gloy paper glue. Gloy is still available as Paper Glue and as Gloy Stick but in modern containers. When I was a lad, in the 1940s and 50s, Gloy Paper Glue came in jars such as you have found, it had an inbuilt brush fixed to the stopper and was grey/white in colour and similar to todays wallpaper adhesive.
The flask that you picked up at the start was very modern, the ground glass joint was for connecting to other articles of lab ware usually a condenser or a glass bend. Usually made of borosilicate glass, Pyrex or similar.
