I will say this I am a coin collector and the one thing I do not have is any coins like the ones you have discovered mud larking in London nor anywhere else I would definitely would appreciate if you have any duplicates of any coins from your finds I would love to include them in my coin collection if you do not object, I would be much appreciative because I am one of your big fans here in the US.
Cuffs is a Very Handsome Man !
Oi Oi! Si must be Sunday 🍻🍻
Alright Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Sundays are always better with Si !
Aw thanks Mello 👍🏻🐾🧡
Your very welcome Si. Happy Sunday ! 😁 Much love from Louisiana ❤️❤️
Hello!! Good sunday!!
Hi Lara
I know the Thames‘s pins and the printing letter type are such simple items but I find it fascinating that you can find those tiny things on the river banks and that they’re so old! The garnets also because of how little they are! Thanks Simon!💕💕WV🇺🇸
Cheers Lynette! Yes from small pins to huge anchors, there’s much to be found
Si, you and Cuffs, found all kinds of wonderful treasures. That George II coin looked mint. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks so much Debbie!
Thank you Si and Cuffs, for venturing out on cold and dark rainy nights to find such interesting treasure ! Fascinating to see the coins, the gunpowder measure, and learn about the previously unheard of raspberry prunts ! 🙂
Thanks so much!
I'm always amazed at how clean Cuffs seems to stay during these mudventures. He always looks as if he just stepped out of a Northface shop. It's so fun to watch the two of you find treasure. Thanks for all the wonderful videos.
lol. Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Well done cuffs and Si
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
I used to make toy soldiers out of lead. All you need to do is make a mold with plaster and use a plastic toy soldiers for the positive. Lead melts at a lot temperature all you need is propane torch to melt it
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Hello Friend,
So nice to go for a treasure hunt with you. No matter what comes out of the earth it is always worth the dig in one way or another. Thanks for including your fans.
Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A.
Totally agree!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Great finds. A great friend is a lovely thing to have. Thank you "Cuffs". for your kind gift to our friend Si. Blessings 🙏🐕🇺🇸
It would be beautiful it you took the dress hooks and put them together with jewels to make bracelets and earrings also necklaces!
Great idea!
Before London upgraded their sewer system it was common to find number 2’s in the Thames Si , don’t make a habit of finding them or Cuffs might give you a new nickname 😝🍻🍻
Happy Days!!!!! Your expressions always make me smile!!!!! I also like trying out these reactions here in the USA, it’s interesting the different ways people respond when I say”happy days” instead of “cool” or “awesome”
Haha, I wish I was a fly on the wall when that happens!
Another great video! Love the finds! Sundays with Si!
Cheers Jana!
Love the night larking.💛
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Thanks Si for the video 👣🧡 great finds 👍🏻 , cuddle’s for Nelson 🐾
Cheers Essie! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I guess it is a cap of gentlemen's walking stick, you should give it to Tobias he would love that. Lovely night lark, thanks for taking with you. I will get me a head lamp just in case I end up on the foreshore by darkness!
Haha. Good idea
Mega find’s! Love the George II coin, looks like it was made just yesterday, haha! 👍⚓️
Yeah it does!! Cheers dude
You looking at the arrow shaped piece of metal makes me 😂 LOL , it reminds me of the series Detectorists on the BBC when he finds the top of the railing and thinks it’s a Saxon arrow 😂😂, great video watching all day on a wet Sunday
Haha yes I remember that!
Nice finds gentleman! Always a treat to watch you folks digging for history. Thanks for sharing your finds with us.
Our pleasure Susan!!
These little traders' tokens of Cuffs must have been dropped whilst still quite new and landed straight into the lovely mud and been cocooned for 300yrs rather than battered on the stones and rocks. Well impressed with the mighty screw! The cufflink was the find of the day!
Oh wow, such wonderful old finds. 👍
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Great video Si!!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Always love going along on your treasure hunt adventures. Thanks
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Loved it 💜🍁🐘🇨🇦🤗
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Good times, good friends, good finds
Cheers Paddy!
You found some good treasures. It's always nice to see them cleaned up and learnt about at the end. Thanks Si xx
Cheers Gaynor! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Love these videos m8! Keep up the great work! Watching from Atlanta, Ga, 🇺🇸
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Great finds lads 🖤🖤
Cheers Claire!
Nice finds by both you and Cuff. The Thames is a never ending giver of finds. Hope you and Cuff’s families are safe and healthy. See you on the next. 🏴🙂👍🇺🇸
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Thank you for this exciting video. I am fascinated by all the finds. Take care and cheers.
Cheers LS!! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Fantastic finds! Your videos are a new family tradition to watch every Sunday! Next time you're in Utah USA could you bring some tokens and talk at our club meeting for the "National Utah Token Society"? The NUTS club 😁🤙
I'd love to!
That first musketball was large. I thought they were smaller. Love that evening cityscape with the boat by was lovely. I’m curious, what would be the purpose of the resin daisy, a paperweight on a lady’s desk? A decoration? That’s a large screw. I love to hear the history behind the pieces. Thanks for a wonderful hunt.
Decorative garden wall feature i should think
Amazing finds!! Well Done!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Luv the Cuffs! Gus is a nice friend :) Thanks for sharing.
All that work! taking precious time away from my mudlark-viewing!
You and Cuffs had a some true luck in the muck..
Wonderful coins (I like the story behind the lovers coin) and the parasol/walking stick nub.
Cuff's long distance Spanish coin was interesting and the William II coin, nice!
Thanks for taking us along, Si
hello from Denmark 🌸 ❄️
Hey Si! Great finds! That laugh of yours and that big smile when you and Cuffs find something special is fun to hear and see. I love when you talk about the history of the different items. Thanks for the journey and the history lessons.
Yayyyyyyy!! Sooo happy to finally get to catch up with you, Si, on the foreshore! ( : Love when you lark on the foreshore! ( : Well, a musket ball is better than nothing. Right?! ( :
Yayyyyyyy!! Your first coin!! Woo hoo! ( : Nice. George the 2nd, ha'penny! Sweet! ( : Hi Cuffs! ( : Welcome to the nighttime fun on the foreshore! Lol! ( : Wow. It is really raining! Geesh! What is a love token? A silver one at that! Great find! True! Old buttons are awesome! ( :
Wow, cuffs just found a 17th century token! Fantastic! And a cufflink too! The coin is sooo amazing and in great shape! It seems it would be rare!
I love that resin flower! It is beautiful! ( : Geesh, Cuffs! Another fantastic find! An oldie! ( :
I was thinking wow. That is one heck of a screw! I would definitely keep that too! It is really cool! ( : Wow. Look at the old dress hook too! ( :
Nice blob glass to help hold a glass. It does look like that! It does look like a raspberry prunt. ( : Two spears in one night too?! Crazy! ( : This second spear head looks ancient, though! How cool is that gunpowder measure?! So nice! A definite piece of history! ( : Wow. All the way from the 1600's?!! That's amazing! ( :
Cuff found another nice coin? What an interesting piece! Another 1700 coin? Geesh! What a find 300 years later!! Soooo cool! ( : Cool find the end of a cane/parasol! Neat! ( : Another 300 year old piece and the love token was 300 years old too?! Wow, it was tossed away! Not good for the lover. Sooo great how all your friends cleaned up all your finds, Si! You found the best things! ( :
Nice nickname for cuffs! Love it and what a good friend to give you a pair!! ( :
I was imagining Cuffs strolling down the beach to the tune of 'Stayin' Alive' a la John Travolta. 🤣
Haha!
I didn't pay much attention to the things you found because I was too distracted by the pretty lights 🤩🤣
London at night is something special ❤️ I must come see it in real life sometime!!
Edit: Just watched again! Nice coins Si!
Cheers Beth, you’re right! They are beautiful especially when reflecting on the Thames!
It looked so cold out there in the rain and really spooky in the dark. You two found some awesome finds, congratulations.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
You could rebuild London with all those bricks.lot of history and human stories in those ubiquitous and numerous lumps of fired clay
I'm drooling over the rocks/stones - especially the hag stones, and the more polished ones. I LOVE the historical finds, too. I wish I could participate in such things, but I'm way over the pond, and not licensed for such a thing.
What a beautiful skyline! And more lovely finds! Very cool!
Cheers Sherry 👍🏻🐾🧡
Thank you for the fun adventure and you really got us on the little tiny screw trick!! 🤣
Ha! Did it work!?! Awesome
Wow, great old finds - especially the Queen Anne cuff link. You’ve inspired me, Si, I’ve ordered a beginner metal detector for my 74 th birthday present. I hope to have some “luck in the sand” on our beach vacation. Cheers!
Yay! You’ll love it. Wishing you luck in the muck. Lol
Always a treat. Thanks Si. 💜
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Great finds Si and Cuffs. Love the Queen Anne cuff link, the George 2nd coin and the love token. A good night out in the mud.😊
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Hi Simon. The "spear head" that Cuffs found looks a lot like a bronze age spear head that an instructor 3d printed from the British Museum. It wasn't sharp either. The class was on bronze casting where we made a bronze age spear head and a viking era axe head. The printed spear head was used as the positive for sand casting with bronze. It was an amazing adventure. Once again I am very fortunate to have people in my life who teach amazing skills. Here's an idea...the large screw would look amazing suspended in a resin light.🙂
That one was iron so most likely a tool. Like the resin idea!
@@Sifinds too bad. Wouldn't it be awesome if it was though. I have been watching these videos on my phone so don't always see things clearly. I will always trust your knowledge of these things. Sorry if I am coming across as being negative. Just getting excited about the finds.😁
@@janicescragg2388 thanks Janice. You’re not negative at all! I think that was a positive and valid comment. Keep em coming!
Amazing how much history you have to know about so many items.
Yes it’s a great way to learn!
I love that flower
Thank you Si and Cuffs.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Hello from the states 🇺🇲, love chilling to these mudlarking videos.
Hi Si hi Cuffs, wonderful finds under your lamps at night. Awesome coins guys. Nice gesture Cuffs sharing a set with Si. Good friends. Joyce ❤️🇺🇸🙏🍀
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
The love tokens history is interesting. New to me.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Hola Simón y compañía ,que fantástico buscar tesoros de noche,y con lluvia ,me hubiera gustado hacerlo en alguna etapa de mi vida ,ahora disfruto mucho viéndolos a ustedes ,muy buena caza como siempre ,grande Simón .Un saludo afectuoso desde Chile 👏👏🥰
Muchas gracias 🙏🏻
Wow that halfpenny is in amazing condition.
They are listed online for around 60 pounds (over $100 Australian dollars).
I haven’t seen any of the mud larks I watch, find a halfpenny in such good condition, well done.
Imagine, it’s been around for close to 300 years, and who knows how long it was in the Thames River 😳 simply amazing. Such an evocative little object. Forget about the monitory value, for me it’s the historical day dreams that it evokes.
If only we could know the adventures that coin has been on.
Brilliant Simon, thanks so much for sharing your adventures with me. Much appreciated.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
It’s the history for me too x glad you enjoy the vids!
Great finds! I’m always amazed at what you find in the dark. Beautiful!!💕😺😺😺
Cheers Jackie! 😂🐾🧡
Simon, the rock behind the "sword" looked like a face! Check out at 12:32! It was creepy! Cuffs is a great friend. Keep him!
So glorious to see London at night !!! Thank you for sharing this night mudlark with us
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Learned a bunch, especially about the knobby bits on the glass to prevent a slip.
What a stunning array of coins that you found between you ! Always a pleasure to watch your videos , fascinating finds whatever they are !
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Love the night London scenes and all your finds.
You should send that flower you found over to Dirty Secrets of Scotland. Sarah would do a great job painting it. Nice finds.
I look forward to Monday's! Another great show! Thank you Simon.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡 Sunday ; )
Hey Si, I really enjoyed today's video. The really old coins are some of my favorite things that you guys find on the Thames.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
@26:07 bahahaha! Your giggle at your own innuendo = priceless. Way to commit to it! hahaha
Well spotted ; )
@@Sifinds I'm a teacher. We spot everything! Haha
Awesome video guys, great finds by all, thank you for sharing your treasures, take care and see you on the next one 👍👍👏👏💖💖
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Some fab finds Si, great Sunday night viewing
Cheers Iain! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Love the skyline in the background

Haha, that will come one day! Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Oh why oh why can't CUFFS be SINGLE!!! We are like twins!!
Awesome finds guys!!! Your video's instantly make me want to mudlark!
Some really cool finds on this one, awesome mudventure!
Lovely shot of the lit buildings and your mates silhouette,
Great finds Si. Looking forward to your next mudscapade.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Great vlog, really enjoyed your photography and scenic views
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
I love it when you find old coins! I wish I were able to do the same. I live in Pensacola,FL and we don't have anything like the river Thames to search. I'm seventy three and do find coins at the beach medal detecting. Some are so worn by the surf you can't read them. By the way, I love to hear you talk.LOL I'm very southern, born in A!abama, so you probably would say the same about me. Enjoy your videos💙
Love from the old lady in Texas may God bless you always and forever
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Awesome night Simon you are the one who is a great person to be out there and 👍
Awesome finds Si. And what history to go with it! Love it!! Teresa 🇦🇺❤
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
The coins are fabulous, love tokens are so interesting too...
Si absolutely love your videos , there the bomb. Such beautiful history you have , and you and your fellow detectorist and mud larkers are becoming a favorite. Thanks again for another epic journey
That screw, wonder how big the screw driver was!
Haha exactly!
I could hear Flo's voice proclaiming she'd found a raspberry prunt as soon as you picked it up. I guess I spend to much time on Instagram 😅
Some nice small finds today with a bit of history as well. 👍
Haha. She is the prunt expert alright!!
Hello Si and Everyone! Happy Sunday!!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Great stuff Si! You and Cuff's are a pleasure to watch.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Really cool finds!!!
Cheers!
That is so weird because earlier in the video I was wondering about the name "Cuffs", having never heard it before. Thank you for the explanation. Great finds!
Pleasure 👍🏻🐾🧡
Always amazing!!!! I look forward to every Sunday video! Thank you.
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
Such wonderful finds! I love the old coins and the mysterious object waiting to be cleaned and uncovered! You never know what you will find! Such beautiful views of the bridge and lights of the city! So awesome!
I'm just always amazed at your finds and a bit jealous! I would love to go mudlarking there!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Wow your friend made some amazing finds as well!
Brilliant finds Si. That 'Love Token' was a cracker!
Cheers John!
Lovely jubbly!
What a beautiful little trade token, really enjoyed the video. I always think when I see mudlarkers picking up those tiny pins, they need a telescopic magnet with an LED like I have in my craft tool box.
The pins are brass
@@Sifinds Interesting, I didn't lnow that.
That G II is in amazing shape!!
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
Lovely adventure..... you play your game n rock us up like a ROCKSTAR do.
Awesome findings. If possible show your hunting collection and how you store them n how you use them in decorating your home n use them in your daily life. Am I asking too much , if YES , than do make a video on it 😜😜😁😁🥂
Enjoy
With Love from SAM
