- Join Si as he returns to 'Bottle Beach' as he searches for broken, unloved and rejected bottles that he can upcycle and turn into loved items once more. Not only does he find them (spoiler), he finds two amazing unique finds as well!

Adorable cat Loxie😻😻😻
my friends Lea and Perrins will like that bottle (I think they still live in Worcestershire)
4:09 yes Pronounced
Lee & Pair Ins!
He really needs to watch more Nicole she has found several of those.
No worcestershire on his steak or burgers!
I've driven in Worcestershire and been to the safari park in their region. My then 7 year old and I had a grand time feeding the giraffes and such. 😊
Lea and Perrins never showed 😂
I love your cat she's beautiful!
I like people who make Art out of discarded things.
I used to dig there in the 70s before the houses were built.I remember the brickworks were still standing.The RE Canteen bottle is in Brompton Chatham and stands for Royal Engineers canteen.Ginger beer variants RE canteen Chatham and RE canteen Deal are very rare.I love that victorian quack cure you found
Hey, with that ginger jar...maybe it was an urn and the lid sealed to keep the persons ashes in! Hey Nic would love that little face you found!! Yes leave the barnacles on!!! Sweet!! Cheers!!
The old ginger jar would have to be my favourite. Wonderful finds
Love the barnacles! We keep old bottles to use as vase, or put small lights in and my favourite. .. Sea glass!
It makes me nervous when you plunge your bare hand in the muck - I wonder how many fingers you'll still have when you pull it out! Love the mud boots, 100% improvement over the snowshoes! It's great that you turn trash to art when you upcycle your bottles, gorgeous vases, candle holders. Lots of labor involved!
Linda Odell Thanks Linda, I just love feeling the history in my bare hands! Thanks yes it’s a labour of love
Although I know you are careful and such, I still feel anxious when you pull jagged bottles out. You are a true artist.
I got very nervous also 😬
pots were stacked on top of each other in the kiln . some times the glaze would run and stick. glaze being then all it wood tack is a tap to break it off. , living the ring .
Mini ox-bow rivers! Very cute.
Fab what u have done with the old, broken and unwanted u found on your muddy adventures. Great vid as always.
Binge watching all Si finds video. ❤️I am a huge fan!
Another good vid 😃 The torpedo buttom you can put on top of any other bottle you've cut for tealights perhaps 😊👍 Looking forward to your next adventure 😁
That's a Lea And Perrins Worcestershire sauce Bottle lol, They were founded in 1837. Yea! I finally recognised something!
Amazing video love watching u n your friends fine beautiful things
Thank you - feel free to share!
I love the fact that you upcycle the old bottles into something useful! And they are beautiful. Please keep the barnacles on the two bottles that have them! And I love your ginger jar and pharmacy bottle!
Sometimes potters will add texture to a vase that was intended to be an art piece. It looks intentional to me. That would be why it's embedded into the glaze. Beautiful find! (I studied art and design in college. )
Thank you Si. Keep the barnacles. GREAT bottles!
Always nice to see marine enhanced items, keep those barnacles on, after all it's part of the bottles history, and can't be recreated without mother nature. Every time l find another bottle it makes me think about the person who originally bought it from a shop, that probably isn't there anymore, when l was young in the 60s corner shops were everywhere, and everyone knew each other in friendly communities, that gave you a sense of happiness, there were lots of smiling faces, which sadly as time went on disappeared with the closure of the little shops, as the big supermarkets moved in and stole the trade away, my dad always used to say money ruins everything, and now that I'm older l can see what he meant. But the great old bottles remain, nostalgia now from a nicer past, and made by hand, with a new beginning thanks to your great imagination Si
Keep the barnacles Si....it looks good and tells the story of being in the sea..
Fab video as always
relentless12345678 Thanks!
Will you ever do an episode showing us how you re-work the bottles? I'd like to see your shop.
Hi there. Si has done a segment on cutting his bottle finds. It's at the end of one vid... but not apparent from the title.
Sorry that's not much help, but if you go through his old vids you'll come across it... I don't think it was too long ago.
OK... just did a little digging. Si shows the process at the end of Epic Thames Bottle Beach Mudlark w Nic Part II.
@@allanturpin2023 Thanks
Hey Si darling, I'd love that bottle, for obvious reasons 😁. And my B-Day is in August 😉
YES! Ok, I'll get it up on the etsy store asap!
Beautiful video enjoy watching u love all your video s thank u
New York State requires a refundable 5 cent deposit on its soda and water bottles. I’m surprised you guys haven’t done that given how you are way more ecology friendly than us. Great video as usual. Very informative.
Hey if it doesn't work as medicine, we can use it as paint. LOL
Love your new mud shoes! The good stuff is out there in the muck ! Love the ginger jar! I wonder if it could have been an urn for ashes?
Enjoyed watching your outing! Ginger jar find is awesome & cool bottles too! Great idea for the up cycling. New mud shoes, wow smart!
Your ginger jar looks like a traditional Chinese pickle jar. It's missing the collar around the top and the lid. The idea being that you put water in the collar and when you place the lid on top it creates an airtight interior. So long as your pickled veg is submerged in brine they will keep for several years, they just get more tangy 🤪 as they ferment. Google it, there's loads of images. Very enjoyable video, I'm catching up 😊 .
You have the best clean ups. Love seeing the bottles up close and personal; and that ginger jar!
Glad you enjoyed!
I live in Moncton, New Brunswick, not far from Saint John! That bottle is an awesome find ! I wonder how it ended up there!
Great stuff Si. Flo is a little honeypot. More mud, more relics, bottles and innuendo please.
Coming right away Sir 👍🏻
Your cat is gorgeous. She looks sooo fluffy. Lol
Loxie is beautiful. My favorite is the honey pot. Mud shoes are great.
cathy brewer Thanks 🐈
@@Sifinds You are welcome. You and Nicole find the most interesting things.
Loxie is adorable! She has the same coat has my girl Nancy Pants. Love your videos!
Aw thanks, I should have given her a brush before her big debut appearance!
Every piece is beautiful. So glad to see your recycling saving these beauties.
I love the jars you find. I would keep everyone I found, so decrotive.
Si you have got to have the strongest legs in the world. Watching you walk around in the deep mud you would have to carry me out after about going ten feet.lol l can’t wait when I start one of your videos just to see what great finds you get. Love it when you and your friend go out in the air boat. Good luck in this new year look forwards to every video you do!!!!
My favourite is the Chinese Vase, it’s beautiful. Needs some research eh? My second favourite - your new mud overboots. I now want a pair. Part of the Serious Treasure Hunters Equipment. I still remember lemonade coming in glass bottles and taking them back to get the refund. Makes me feel like a dinosaur. I also remember feeling SO cheated when they stopped. No more collecting bottles for extra pocket money...the bottles are gorgeous when you are finished with them. I want some for my brushes I think..😊🌸😊🌟🌟🌟
Great idea - are you an artist?
I LOVE WHAT YOU DO WITH THE BROKEN BOLLLES IT IS AWESOME
Thanks Marlene!
to cut the broken bottles is a great upcycles! the bowl is really impressive!
Your mud shoes are very reminiscent of Herman the Munster's shoes from Adams Family. Old TV show from the 1960's(🤦holy crap...just dated myself!). Not sure if the UK had it on TV?
Yes i know what you mean, haha
Lol
The ginger jar, vase, could be appraised by Sotheby, Chinese antiques, The hand decorations, quickly applied, along with the utilitarian glaze. Where the glaze did not hold, could be attributed to imperfections in clay, bits of iron, etc. Since the end product was destined for the average consumer, some imperfections would be tolerated, beautiful non the less. Good eye si
picunit Thanks, I love it. Not sure it’s Sotheby’s quality though....
Nice awesome show I love it! Have a great day
Holy Moly are you kidding me with that ginger jar?! Utter perfection.
Loved the search and vid again
Maybe the torpedo bottle in a larger bottle filled with sand or marbles
Greetings
Great video - I LOVE the new mud shoes. The bottles look great!
mom trips Thanks! ❤️
Very nice video. Thank you for sharing with us. ATB.
Loxie says.,."But...but...you're not paying attention to ME!"
HAha, so true!
It's addictive I'm joining the mud lovers brigade yey.
Emily McCulloch You’re in!
This video made my head spin. I love all your video.
"The Survival of the Fittest" -- Yeah, if you can survive the drinking of strychnine! How crazy is that? Love the ginger jar. Oh sweet Lottie, so lovely! My Nellie would have systematically knocked every bottle off that table! Til next time, take care! ~Jen
Great vid,thanks for sharing 👍
H Si, thank you for your time and effort and videos. Awesome and amazing. Diane from Southampton UK
The ginger jar / temple You found is Japanese, often given at weddings etc with many of the simple inscriptions bearing words like, luck or wealth. When they were used to export goods the lids were sealed with a bit of slip inside the lid and wax on the outside. I believe the one you found maybe circa 1800 - 1850.
I've sold a few of these and have one the same as yours, the painting probably is whatever came in the jars as they were not just used for ginger .
Congratulations on your discoveries. Enjoyed watching and looking forward to your next adventure.
The remnants of a seal on the "Ginger Jar". Obviously. Likely much older than you may imagine.
Love your kitty 😻😻👍😊
Great video Dave 🤗
Like how you do the roundup.
How you cut your finds .
Also liked when you showed your garden plus Loixe .
😊
Those bottles look great with lighting.
Nice finds and love what you do with them.
My new favourite channel!! Going to start going out myself now...thank you for all your work!
Very good I am sure! Now I will watch!
Great bottle finds today! I am not a fan of leaving the barnacles, but I am sure others would like them to remain! Cheers!
Love the ones with the barnacles. Awesome bottles.
Thanks!
Other than the fact I nearly puked at 05:30 while the camera was bouncing around with you in your mudder boots, I loved this video, Simon. The bottles and ginger jar were fantastic finds, of course, but my favorite find of the video was little Loxie the Cat! 😺 😺 😺 She's definitely a keeper, mate! Enjoyed seeing you out with Nicola at night on the Thames. Thanks for your great work!
Steve H Cheers Steve! Yeah Locke is a true treasure....
Great video Si Fore Shore 🙏
Some very nice bottle finds 🙂🍻👍
I love the ginger jar! How amazing! ♡♡♡
Awesome Simon good finds I enjoy the bottles I enjoy the hunted you were in I like what you do with the bottles is very amazing you stay blessed and I'll see you on the next
Fascinating! I love seeing your videos with the follow up explanations of what each object's history was... such lovely little glimpses into the daily lives of those long gone!
Meredith Small - The Bygone Belle Thanks for watching!! 😊
Interesting finds in the mud and nettles ,KEEP the BARNACLES.
Wow gotta say Si, when you speed up the go pro video it’s really hard on the eyes to watch... not sure why it is in this video... just the way the mud and sea weed patterns are on the ground I think...
Ok I have to add that it’s sooo cool that something from my area of Canada was found in England! I live in Nova Scotia which is the next province over but I have family who live in Saint John NB!! So cool
Yes it does the eyes in to watch.
YAY CANADA! Represent! Happy Canada Day, July 1st!
cindyluwho Yay, happy Canada day. I might celebrate with pancakes and maple syrup!
@@Sifinds Oh, yes, DO! The area where I live produces maple syrup, chocolates & Moonshine! I'll have to send you a care package!! Oh, and legal cannabis! Don't know if I can send that through post, though! Haha
@@Sifinds Thank's Si, The Maple Leaf forever! Try some poutine,butter tarts or maple dipped donuts.Is their a Tim Hortons in London yet?
Our mum was born in canada
There’s a Tim hortons in edinburgh scotland
Nice bottle finds I could definitely see all your bottles being used in a beautiful light art sculpture or where you place on shelving display 100% light them up. I love beach glass finds . For sure something I think I will try to explore.
Amazing bottle find,
Lea & Perrins sauce! Love it Lea! Fancy footwear for all the fashionista Mud larks this year. What the well dressed muck lover wears for the summer in England. Simon, you are so clever to repurpose these beautiful bottles. They would have surly just continue to be crushed up. But now, people can have a true piece of London and British history in their homes. I love the ginger jar. My mother had one very similar. The lid is almost like the smallest glass cup you have on the table. I think there was a metal adornment around that seam. Just a guess.
Thanks Mary!
Another great video, love the barnacles on the old bottles
You videos always brighten my day. I love the finds, the humour, the history and your effort. The ginger jar is so cool, as is the Fellows bottle. Maybe the edge on the jar is from a lip or edge they made, so the top didn't slide around?? I don't know, just a guess. Either way, it is nice. I'll always be watching. I await the next! Best wishes, from across the pond.
Karen Yeoman Thanks Karen, that’s the best theory I’ve heard yet. Thanks for watching!
Hi from Canada ! I was looking at the bottles you cut down and loved how some are very thick glass !
Fellows bottle... Strichnine and Quinine were in the adverts. Quinine was a popular malaria treatment up to the late 20th century... very appropriate for the British Navy traveling to swampy, hot areas around the equator.
You are so talented Simon
pat goff Thanks! Made something extra special this week! Coming soon!
I feel like that dolls head would look cool in a little creepy/spooky faerie garden. 🖤
Certainly worth a return visit with a shovel and some friends to help. Great vid and finds. You are a wonderful soul and great at this.
Steven Shiner Thanks Steven, bottle digging a banned here (so the sign says) so wouldn’t want to upset the locals. Might rake the woods though!
Nice video! Cheers from Las Vegas America!
Nice ginger jar. Time to put some ginger snaps inside. Yum
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Do think of the animals that might step on all those broken glass pieces. Please just press them back I the dirt again. Takes no time.
Will you, please
Hello from the U.S.A! You are so fascinating!Found you through Nicola...I go search in rivers in the state of Georgia. I love the history. If your ever coming this way you must do a video here! Look forward to future videos!
That cat is soooo cute
Loxie so pretty! Love the history you share.
Love the way you do your research and find out the history of your finds! Fab! =0)
Dewi Thistle Thank you x
Well, the luck was fair but there certainly was a lot of muck. ;) Wow on a whole ginger jar! I think the lids of ginger jars were sealed on with wax but, I'm not positive. Glad you got mud shoes, although they aren't as entertaining as your previous pair. :)
I like the barnicals left on some of the bottles. It gives them more character. Also the torpedo bottle that you didn't know what to do with would make a nice lid for one of the bottles that you have cut. In fact there was one right next to it that looks the same size. It would make a nice jewelry box
Yeay, another great vid, love it.. fab bottles, love the green color and blue,, please find blue😁😁🌻🙋
Awww the cat is beautiful. 😍
Looks like you had a good time!
In AU we get 10c for returning plastic bottles including the small water bottles. Makes it worthwhile to save them up same for beer cans.
You ever try using lineaway or lCR cleaner ,, take off some of the cloudy ness from the glass .. just a idea thank you 🙏 loved vid lover...good luck. Black Dog out.....
years ago,I would go hunting for old stuff in the Australian outback with a mate. We could fill a trailer with old carriage and wagon parts and so on. Before we got home we would stop in at a self serve car wash and give everything a good rinse .Saves making a mess at home...😁
Mercmad Sounds like fun! You still got them?
Great video again Si. Brilliantly edited 👏🏼 Some cool finds 👍🏼
Stinky Pete Cheers dude!
Thank you for the adventure and ideas. Tideline Puget Sound.
Yay Puget Sound, from the Skagit Valley!!!
