    Si, I can't tell you how much I enjoy all of your videos, you are THE best! I find them exciting, informative, educational, comforting and very interesting. The respect you show for everything, the way you do your research, the way you present it all, is brilliant. I often have trouble sleeping so watching your videos helps me relax and every one is a gem. Love and best wishes to you and thank you for sharing. Happy hunting X

    Simon, you give me a great reason to get up and get going on a Sunday morning here in Florida, USA. Your videography has markedly improved and I, along with so many others, appreciate your research and retelling of the history of your finds. Thank you (and Matt) for the great work you do, mate!

    Your finds have given me so much enjoyment and information about the Thames and local history that I would have otherwise not discovered here in the USA. Love, love, love your mudlarking community and associates. Those night time hunts and skyline photography are breathtaking and some of my favorites!! Thankyou !

    Metal finds like the anchor would be a great candidate to coat with a rust converter. It would stop the corrosion and turn it right back to black and you can then clear coat over top of it. Great find

    Really interesting story around the Bovril name:
    The first part comes from the Latin bovem which means Ox. John Johnstone (the inventor of Bovril) got the second part from a book that was popular at the time about a race of people who got their power from a material called "Vril".

    I'm always amazed at what and where you find things! It seems like you can just walk down the street, dig a hole and find something. Of course you're in a small country where people have been living for ages, so I guess it makes sense. What fun! Thanks for sharing your explorations.

    John Jones of Billiter Square. Had a contract to provide anchors to Her Majesties Navy in mid to late 1800's. All said anchors were to me marked with his initials. I'm guessing he could have spelled out his last name, or it could be one he made for someone other than the Royal Navy. I enjoyed your video as always. That you for taking the time to share.
