Mallet bottle - Zábava
It's astonishing to see just how many Roman pieces of ceramics are left lying around from over 1,400 years ago.
Right!
“Oh, just this piece of ROMAN POTTERY…… .yeah, it’s just everywhere.”
Wow.
Yes it’s crazy
Hello Si, I'm the little old lady from the States who wants to adopt you...I watch one of your episodes before I retire for the evening hoping I'll dream of going with you on one of your adventures. I love that you found that old Mallet bottle, I went on bottle digs many times in my earlier years and still have many of those I found. I learn a lot of history from you finds as well, and love also that you include your lovely kitties and chooks in your vids as well. Thank you for vicariously bringing me along and cheers to you, continue on finding wonderful things and turning some of them into your crafty artsy items!
Aw thanks so much Jackie! Glad I can be part of your viewing entertainment! Tell ya mates!!
Six fox cubs! How amazing! We feed the local foxes and the badgers living under our back garden. They bring their babies into the garden to see us. My cats are fascinated by them all. We've also had baby deer and baby boar. Wildlife is so precious!
A word of caution. A baby boar looks very sweet but invariably means a mamma boar is closeby. They get very defensive of their offspring and that is extremely dangerous.So only watch the baby boar from a distance. I know this from firsthand experience. I live surround by boar and once had a serious run-in with a female boar when its youngster came out of a crop of wheat right by the path beside our house.
@@lechatel I agree, I was watching the baby boar safely from the other side of my fence - they were in the corn field behind my house. Luckily I had my camera handy and videoed her. Never get between a boar and her baby - or any animal and her baby. We only get the boar when there's corn and they can hide in it but she came right up to the fence because their eyesight is so poor. She wandered back off into the field. Are you in FoD by any chance?
Wow. You must live near one of the Forests?.
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 Yes, the Forest of Dean. I was born in SE London, lived all over England, Scotland and Wales but this is the best place of all. It would take a bomb under me to make me move away!
@@BeaEss No. We are in Normandie. (Though I know they get boar in the Forest of Dean.) There has been an explosion of boar numbers in recent years-probably down to the increased growing of maize. We get wolves now, too. (One thing leads to another.)
That old expression was right: Good things come to those who flail around in the f***ing mud.
Lovely bottle!
Cheers Eric👍🏻🐾🧡
Congratulations on finding your first ever mallet bottle! Always enjoy watching you create useful objects from, what looks like, junk! And who can resist watching fox kits! Thanks for another wonderful video!
Cheers Deb👍🏻🐾🧡
I really love the lamp upcycle, it looks fantastic! And the fox cubs!!! So sweet!!!😍😍😍
Cheers Wendy👍🏻🐾🧡
Agreed, it does look great. My only suggestion would have been for a lower wattage bulb, as the one Si used appeared to take out the detail from the embossing - although this could just have been a flaring effect when the camera was pointed at it. That fox cub video would be an internet breaker if posted independently! I really respect his care for wildlife and the environment in general.
Nellie did a wonderful job displaying the bowl. Great finds!
He did! 🐈⬛ star of the show
I really love that you are an animal lover! The Fox cubs are so cute. Thanks for all that you do.
Cheers Hazel👍🏻🐾🧡
I really love and respect that he is an animal lover too!
I am thrilled for you, finding that bottle. Incredible to think a glass item remained intact for all that time! The Roman dog bowl is amazing, too. The fish traps are interesting, I think. Possible remnants of an ancient people, so tantalising. The Slopers bottle lamp is very novel. 6 fox cubs!? How gorgeous. I am convinced that these good things come to you because you deserve them, Si Thank you for brightening up another Sunday.
Thanks so much Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
What a Beautiful one of a kind lamp, I truly enjoyed watching this video ❤ i love the baby foxes 🐾
Cheers Donna👍🏻🐾🧡
Wonderful woodworking Si. You likely nailed it, it looks like mahogany family from here.
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love it! There’s a bit of everything here. Mud, artifacts, diy upcycle, lil babies! Great vid.
Cheers Mon👍🏻🐾🧡
Wonderful finds, well deserved. The fox cubs are a delight, thank you for caring for them all.
Love your calm fun attitude, your creativity and your love for animals Si🩵
Cheers Helen👍🏻🐾🧡
Thanks - Dreamboat on a Hovercraft - and you were good too Si! Super treasure, super up-cycle and super cute fox cubs!
Hey Penny. Thanks so much my Angel. The foxes play in the garden during the day the cheeky little scamps x 🦊
Si, I think this might be my favorite of all your videos! That's saying something, since I've watched them all, and there have been some amazing finds and other great content. But this one has it all: a wide variety of very cool finds, their history -- from ancient Rome to a cheeky cartoon character -- a really beautiful upcycle, AND six fox cubs?! You've made my day.
Aw thanks so much Paul. Very kind of you to say. Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
I love the fox “kits” as we call them here in US. Momma Fox trusts you and your space to make her den with you!
Love the light upcycle and all the bottles and pottery you find!
How adorable are those fox cubs, so pleased that you're helping them thrive
Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
The baby foxes are adorable. Thank you for caring.
Congrats on the mallet bottle, awesome upcycle on the lamp. Fox cubs are adorable!! Thanks Si!
Leaving that huge aqua colour pickle bottle made me wish i was there. I would have happily lugged it back!! Lol 😂 congrats on the mallet!! Nice upcycling, you're very creative. Excellent supurrvision by Nelly and Daisy. Cute fox cubs too
I’m always mind blown by all the centuries of history surrounding you! Fantastic finds and I always look forward to your upcycles… the lamp turn out lovely! The fox cubs are adorable 🥰

Hi Si, greetings from Pennsylvania, USA. Love your mallet bottle, congrats on that beauty! Loved the lamp upcycle, too. There is a resident fox in my neighborhood, too, we call him /her "hamilton", as I live in Hamilton Park. Cheers from Larisa! XO
Yes, you do have a lovely garden, Si - a haven for wildlife and friends that you might not expect in your neck of the woods. So special to hear the blackbird singing so contentedly. And brilliant finds - so many great bottles - always enjoy a jaunt with the Hovercraft, always bound to find something special. Keep safe up there!
Blackbirds are my fav bird song!
The lamp is beautiful, the foxes are so cute.🥰
Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡

Lovely video right down to the cubs and birdsong at the end.
Wow wow wow.John Alexander Reina Newlands is a relative. His father Rev William Newlands was a brother to my 5th great grandfather John Newlands and the Uncle of my 4th great grandfather John Newlands who came to Australia with his Scottish wife Ann Ure. John Alexander Reina Newlands is buried in West Norwood cemetery and at present his headstone is with the stonemasons being repaired. I am so happy I watched this episode. He was born and home schooled in West Square London and that is where the Blue Plaque can be seen.
No way! That’s incredible. Thanks for sharing
Adorable! and the fox cubs/kits are too! Love ya, Si! 🦊🦊🦊💞💞💞
So.loved this video!! Great upcycle!
You are a constant part of my Sundays!
The fox cubs are darling...1, 2, 3...4..5..6!!!
So pleased for you Si I think your mallet bottle is one of your top find as you’ve been looking for it for years congratulations again
Best upcycle yet! I felt your frustration making the lamp. You deserve the bottle of red. Cute babies.
Cheers Donna! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Nice lamp. Those fox cubs are so adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Really happy that you finally found a beautiful, complete mallet bottle! 👍Cool lamp creation. And of course I must mention the super cuteness of the fabulous 6! Glad you are helping look after them. Happy mud-venturing and looking forward to seeing more of your finds.
Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
Wow! Love the mallet but the lamp is amazing! Look at those babies. They are so cute!
The look Nellie gave you was priceless when you were making the lamp. The lamp looks amazing. I think you had room in your bucket for that beautiful pickle bottle. 😂

Great day in the morning! Mallet bottle, got that🤬 lamp to come together, and it's a beauty, STD pill bottle, Roman half bowl and 6 baby fox kits! Super! Thanks Si🎉
Super rare find? In the UK that is a dentist or a doctors appointment 🤣
😂 true !!
In Canada it's having a doctor!
So true 😁😁😁
A same day appointment 😂😂😂😂
Same in the Netherlands… and after a month of waiting with pain in my belly and not getting thoroughly examined I got told to eat prunes in the morning… o well guess I’ll just die early 😂🤣
Awww - what little cuties! Sounds like a delightful workshop area. Very creative upcycle of the bottle.
Thank you for sharing your mudventures.
Brilliant mallet bottle! Adorable cubs! Thanks for the journeys!
I'm so happy that you finally found your mallet bottle. The grain on that wood is beautiful And the lamp turned out lovely. your little foxes are adorable I hope they don't decide that your chickens are dinner.😂
Awesome thank you for taking care of the foxes, I just love watching your videos.
OMG! The fox cubs are too damn cute!!❤
The lamp is GORGEOUS !!!!!
Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
I learn so much from watching your historic-filled videos! Not to mention cute animals, outstanding upcycles, incredible bottle finds, and a great sense of humor! You pack so much in each video! Cheers!
Aw thanks so much👍🏻🐾🧡
Oh my giddy giddy Aunt, it's too much. They are sooo darn cute, I could watch fox cubs for hours!! I'm sure Nelly and Daisy don't mind and the girls are only interested in the food in their eating 🐔🐔Congrats on a mega bucket list find and I loved the up cycle too. Thank you Si xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥🐈⬛🐈😻
Scrap the Mudlarking I’ll just put out half an hour of fox babies. Lol
YAAAY ! The lamp is WONDERFUL !❤ Some XXXes sent to fur babies... I'm the CAT LADY in my small town.😂
❤ thank you for feeding the animals. Love your videos!
How clever with the lamp…and how cute with all your animal friends….thanks for sharing 😊love ❤from Arizona
Congratulations on the mallet bottle! I love how the lamp turned out and the fox cubs are so darn cute! A wonderful and fun video!
ohhhh, the little foxes are adorable!!! I wonder if their fur is soft? no touch I should think-- momma fox might not take too kindly to that. the mallet (spelling?) bottle is spectacular.. and the bottle lamp is very functional!! =) Mark's hat is cool! makes me think of Robin Hood and/or Peter Pan! thanks for taking us along on another Sunday lark!! Helloo to kitty cats, bukbuks, hedgehog(s) birds and foxes!! did I miss any wildlifes? ttfn!!
Another clever upcycle and a very well done, nice to see the fox, all in all a great video. Thank you
My greetings, I seem to recognize this wood with a bench that I had. The armrest one with the legs were cast iron and the wood was called tropical.
Hi Si, I think under the glass dome you should add a piece of your amazing art made from some of your “muddy” finds!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIND AND...NICE UPCYCLE!!!
Cheers Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
Everything comes to those that wait, well done i love the lamp❤ the cubs are adorable❤❤
Congratulations Si! As someone who’s gone hovercrafting with you and Mark, this was such a joy to watch! -Heather and Langdon

Beautiful job on the lamp ❤ loved the mallet bottle ❤ and the fox kits ❤
Love the mallet bottle, but that lamp! This is my favorite upcycle you have done so far! The grain in the mahogany and the peckyholes make it the perfect wood for that old bottle. Well done, Si! Very well done!

Cheers Mudlover👍🏻🐾🧡
Lovely ending. What a brood! Lovely birds singing too 🙂
Si actually reads all the comments. Last time, i requested him to bring roman pottery pieces, and he did this time. Love the amazing content. Also the old coins you have found so far, put them in a frame and do the same with the buttons you have found. It'll look wonderful
