Should I go back and dig out the cart? 🐾🧡 Check out the time we found a PAIR of Roman Shoes and took them to the Museum of London ua-cam.com/video/RxqX2P4cTz4/v-deo.htmlsi=tfIJJKkHn0sPvJIG
The cart is probably an old Royal Mail cart. Years ago we had one with the same wheel configuration and it had a huge wicker basket on it. That type when also used in the cotton mills for moving materials around.
Hey Si, Canadian here, from Alberta, I used to work as a courier here In Calgary, and those trollies with the wheels in the diamond formation, were VERY common in the paper industry, in which most of my work was related to. They could hold several hundred pounds of paper in large sheets in a heavy weight rating, so real glossy thick pater, mainly for magazines and such but not just limited to paper, they were used for any kind of heavy load. If you get that trolly out of the muck, when you put in on it's wheels you'll find that the small wheels are higher up than the two larger side wheels, this is by design, so that the trolly could be tilted in the direction that it needed to be loaded or unloaded from, but also made it easy to maneuver in restricted spaces where there is a lot of machinery for paper cutting and stacking after being printed on and sent over to another part of the shop where the paper would go over to the muller or folder for assembly. Just as a little bit of information, paper in magazine is printed in a way so that a large sheet would have the pages printed on it in the kind of configuration, that allowed the muller, to fold the paper and insert it into the binding, have the cover then glued to the outside and then it would go over to the cutting machine with a massive super sharp blade that came down and cut the edges off the folder inserts and when you opened the magazine after cutting, the pages would all be in the upright and proper configuration. something that took me a while to wrap my mind around when I first saw how they made magazines. which meant the when the large sheet of paper went through the printer, the pages on one half were printed upside down when compared to the other half and opposite on the other side so when the folding was fully done and the edges of the folds were cut off, the pages were all on the right way. I saw those kinds of trollies all the time, but the hardware on the one you found in the Thames is considerably older than the ones I have seen, so that will be a right proper find when you dig it out.... well, IF you dig it out. But I'd have to say, that it would likely be worth digging the old truck out of the muck! BTW, it's gonna be HEAVY, if the wood is still all there, it's going to be waterlogged so bring some mates with ya if you do decide to go after that thing. Something like that is enormously heavy duty and could have been used to haul all kinds of goods from the ships bringing in their cargo from abroad. perhaps someone left the cart loaded up and stepped away or looked away for a moment and turned around just in time to see it splash into the water with whatever it was loaded up with. If it was paper that poor chap might have lost his job. Also it is highly likely that thing has barely moved from where it entered the Thames, however long ago it went into the river, unless a massive flood came along and yanked it downstream a bit, but I doubt it would have gone very far considering the heavy duty construction of it. I hope to see video soon of you going after that old boy! Cheers!
Save the trolley!! That is a great find and if the museum doesn’t want it I am sure you can figure out a great way to repurpose it. Loved the museum visit…so much history and incredible artifacts. Thanks Si. 👋🏼👋🏼❤️🇨🇦
The Georgian cufflink you found, with the black gemstone with a white stripe, is a sardonyx gem - a type of banded agate. I also watch the Northern Mudlarks, and they find these often on the beaches and rivers up north. You find sardonyx often used in old Victorian Scottish pebble jewellery. It's quite a common stone, and therefore inexpensive, as it is found worldwide - but it's still lovely and elegant - a brill find, Si!
Some day , i would live to go and visit that museum. My great great grandfather worked on the docks with an insurance company back in the early 1800s. He and his family lived in Greenwich, not very far from the observatory. They came to the US in 1855. He was originally from Germany. He was well educated. He could speak 5 languages and could speak one language and at the same time, write a different one!
A fantastic presentation of your Lark and the museum!! Thank you for taking us along! Must say that you have great verbal skills! Truly an enjoyment to listen!
Awesome video with lots of lovely finds ( coins , tokens, and buttons). The information provided by you is awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 . Kindly collect the cart and donate . If the museum dislikes it , make it as your coffee table or work desk . Love the museum tour . Want more such tour videos. Really enjoyed With love from SAM Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ❤
I guess the current state of The Thames was hard earned. Nature, with some help, has mended the beautiful river and it is so nice to see birds & fish alive and thriving again. As humans we can sure make a mess of things.
I thoroughly enjoy your channel! With the mixture of magnet, metal detection and scraping...add great humor, education, and getting to see the polished up relics, I believe this channel has moved to my number one favorites on all of UA-cam! Loving your total package content in Knoxville, Tennessee USA ❤
Great video, Si. I love the way you say "Beautiful". I loved the museum. Several of my ancestors were shipwrights. I am coming to London in September and I may visit that museum.
Yes, I've often thought about the proper use of the word; the misuse of it has actually worried me day and night for years, perhaps since the day I was born. The only thing I find more appalling is "should I use a comma or semicolon?" 🤔😊
@zoeysmusic5841 when I was little, I thought a semi-colon was only half a colon, so I thought the two solid dots would be a colon..and one dot centered, should be a semi.. Then came along the dot combined with a comma..Threw my hands in the air, lol. To this day, I'm sure that I get it wrong, and oft am guilty of run-on sentences 😁 However!! (:?) I definitely place far more importance on the actual meanings of words, their pronunciation and usage. "After all, comma we don't specify punctuation marks whilst speaking, comma so any reader can figure it out, comma right?? Question marks" LOL!! I do understand though, sometimes when reading, one must do a double take and a rethink, when somebody like me messes up the punctuation ;)
@@ShakesSphere My facetiousness knows no bounds. 😆 I wasn't concerned that Si used the word "hung" instead of "hanged," and if I were; I wouldn't have pointed it out, unless I was teaching a student in an English class. 😆
I was hoping you'd post a vid for my birthday, and here you were only one day off! Loved the trip through the museum, always love museums. On that note, you could start your own! Certainly you have plenty of material! Cheers Si, thanks again!
At the age of eight, I discovered a coin in the undergrowth near my school. We took it to Reading Museum and I was informed it was a "fake spade guinea" a gambling token of unknown age. As a kid, before getting a Man Cave, I had a wicker basket under my bed with all my treasures. Unknown to me, our Italian Au Pair girl called Maria had gone on a cleaning Blitz and had chucked out most of the treasures in the basket. I only discovered this disaster after the dust men had emptied the bins and as you can imagine, I was absolutely furious!
Im from Montana. I grew up only knowing my moms side of my family here. Never knew my fathers side who was from the south. Im disabled and dont have family left but a sister. I was my fathers youngest if eleven kids. He was in his sixties when i was born. So i missed out in alot of family history and interacting with them . Your channel is very enjoyable and i looked forward for every episode. Your wife makes such beautiful things. This my first comment every in anything gope it wasnt to long.
Wow -- that is an amazing museum -- so much history just centered around that one part of the city/river -- it is great that they have preserved the story of it all....
Yes you should definitely save the trolley,it would be great to see it restored. Lovely finds esp the token and i love the piece of glass. Thankyou for the tour of the Docklands museum, it looks like a fascinating place.
We had some similar dock carts at a warehouse I worked at while going to school. I think they were from the early 1900s Two wheels across from each other in the middle and one slightly smaller wheel in the middle of each end. It was made to only be on three wheels at a time and was easy to turn and maneuver.
Aloha Simon & Rob! You both had some great finds! The one that made me laugh is the "Ford" Auto Emblem that looked like someone actually scraped it off their Car, & yeeted it into the River. You see here in the U.S., Ford vehicles have not always had the best reputation, hence these F.O.R.D acronyms;"Found On Road Dead," or "Fix or Repair Daily," "Failure Of Research and Development."☺ Maybe the Ford owner was just ashamed? Fascinating Museum tour!
Save the trolley! I enjoyed how you mixed your finds' photos in with the museum tour and that old token? So. Very. Cool. Thanks as usual for taking the time and effort to video your quests 😊
That is a beautiful piece of glass. Imagine it with the sun shining through it. Even if it’s a forgery it’s still nice piece of history. Lol, a metal surfboard. Wow, that’s a lovely pewter token. I can see that small bent gear in one of your design or upcycles. Thank you for the wonderful tour of the Dockland Museum.
I’ve been a fan of yours for the past few years and you inspired me to take a tour on foreshore under Millienium Bridge with the Thames Explorer Trust during our recent trip to London. I had a ball but it certainly is t as easy as you make it look!
This has got to be my favorite video of yours ever...Thank you so much for taking us through the dockers' museum. My vote is, if you can get there, find it and bring it back, you should totally save the upturned cart!
Thank you so much for showing us the Docklands Museum! I might never get back to London, and I so much appreciate seeing all of these artifacts…if you ever think of doing more of these interesting practical, everyday life museums, I would love to see your take on them.
oh, dear..i have a migraine today & your camera work sweeping back-n-forth over the fore shore made me video-sick! not your fault. go get the cart!!! maybe the museum will help out. u found some great coins & buttons. always enjoy your museum tours. hello to your kitties - so cute. thanx!
What a lovely outing! a great mudventure and the finding of so many treasures. You definitely need to go back for the trolley. I loved all the coins, that piece of glass was really beautiful with all the colors and some nice buttons and maybe a cufflink? Already look forward to Sundays for a mudlarking video from you or Nicola and sometimes both. Thanks for the look around the museum, l love museums. I have always wanted to go to the Smithsonian museum in Washington DC, but have never gotten to the east coast, since I've always lived in the west, but it's on my bucket list. Thank you for the adventures, Simon. I hope you have a wonderful week.
We used to use a similar sort of trolley for moving the bells around at the John Taylor Bellfoundry, here in Loughborough (also home of Herbert Morris). The cart was articulated at the front, with solid cast wheels, and dated back probably to when the foundry was set up in the town.
Thanks for the museum tour! You might speak to the head curator and show them the pictures of the trolley, if they're interested they could hopefully arrange for the proper equipment to lift it our of the muck. It really does have a curious wheel formation.
The foreshore is interesting along there at silvertown. The area below where you found the trolley being the old entrance to royal victoria dock and later used as a base by tug boat company General Marine until 2020 with many boats scrapped there in the 1990s. The trolley is an amazing find and should certainly be recovered! Keep us posted
Yes, I’d go back and uncover that piece of history. It’s so interesting going through that historical museum. Thank you for the history lessons. You had some pretty cool finds today/yesterday.
Si, I think the stone in the collar or cuff stud could be banded agate, but its very scratched and worn. The Docklands Museum looks amazing, well worth a visit. Thanks so much for taking us around with you. I found it fascinating.
I'd love you and/or the museum to rescue that cart. Some lovely finds today Si. Loved it. Give Nelly and Daisy big cuddles and head rubs from cat-cousins Ollie and Oscar 🐈⬛🐈🐾 xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
The beginning of the video with your mishaps. Reminded me of Laurel and Hardy...lol You should definitely rescue that cart. The cats adorable as usual. ❤ Thanks for visiting that dock museum. Very interesting. Many of us viewers will probably never make it to London to see in person. Here in Kansas we have a couple of really interesting museums. Underground salt museum and Cosmosphere museum. If you're ever here. They're a must visit.
Absolutely go back and save that special trolley! I too wonder what people of other times thought while wearing some of the buttons you find! History is full of mystery and intrigue. Wonderful video! Thanks for the tour at the end!
The glass cullet that you found is amazing! It could be slices and polished,and made into pendants!It would look pretty in a window,with the sun streaming through it,as well!
I always wanted to see the museum of London Docklands, but never got around to visit but NOW I will. Interesting finds you made, hope you kept the glass blop it looked like a piece of the seabed with water above. AND YES you must go back and pull that trolley out of the mud !!!!! 🤩😍
Yes, dig out the cart! That blue glass is beautiful. I never knew that about whaling in the Port of London. The museum looks like a great place to visit.
Should I go back and dig out the cart? 🐾🧡 Check out the time we found a PAIR of Roman Shoes and took them to the Museum of London ua-cam.com/video/RxqX2P4cTz4/v-deo.htmlsi=tfIJJKkHn0sPvJIG
Rock and roll bro!
Yes. Dig it out.
Yes, let's dig it up. Can you build a small "dock" and tow it back?
The cart is probably an old Royal Mail cart. Years ago we had one with the same wheel configuration and it had a huge wicker basket on it. That type when also used in the cotton mills for moving materials around.
@@ChrisNewton-ms4xt that’s very interesting cheers Chris
By all means, Simon, please try to save the trolly. If you can't, tell the museum officials about it. They might want to get it
I have a plan! Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
@@Sifinds Great!! Can hardly wait to see the video!!! What an interesting find, totally worth finding its way out. Cool cool!!!!
@@Sifinds oh...so you have a cunning plan, do you Baldric ;)

Yes! Rescue the cart! Great museum tour. Loved the history.
Absolutely fantastic, Save it Si, it would be well worth the effort to save for future generations 👌
That would be amazing to see you extract the cart, sort of like the giant ball you all pulled out of the creek

I think that the multi hinge strip is the metal joining part of wooden roller shutters. I have seen these on old workshop buildings and shops.
I was looking through the comments to see if anyone had already named them. The roll up doors on my old barn have the same hinges
Very interesting cheers mate!
Great video, Si. I love the way you say "Beautiful". I loved the museum. Several of my ancestors were shipwrights. I am coming to London in September and I may visit that museum.
Cheers beautiful 🤩 yes defo worth a visit!!!
Proper past tense of *hang* when it's used as a method of execution is "hanged." It's one of those quirks of the language.
oh how i wish more people used the right word
'hung' has a completely different meaning in today's parlance. 😅
I never knew that! Ehhh..grisly awful, horrid death, poor guys
Yes, I've often thought about the proper use of the word; the misuse of it has actually worried me day and night for years, perhaps since the day I was born. The only thing I find more appalling is "should I use a comma or semicolon?" 🤔😊

Thanks for the museum tour
Perfect!
Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
Really fascinating programme 👏
That museum look fascinating!! Definitely need to get the trolley to them!!🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the museum tour! You might speak to the head curator and show them the pictures of the trolley, if they're interested they could hopefully arrange for the proper equipment to lift it our of the muck. It really does have a curious wheel formation.
I know! I have a plan to get it saved!
The foreshore is interesting along there at silvertown. The area below where you found the trolley being the old entrance to royal victoria dock and later used as a base by tug boat company General Marine until 2020 with many boats scrapped there in the 1990s.
The trolley is an amazing find and should certainly be recovered! Keep us posted
Yes, I’d go back and uncover that piece of history. It’s so interesting going through that historical museum. Thank you for the history lessons. You had some pretty cool finds today/yesterday.
Yes definitely dig the trolley out. Be great to see it ❤
I have a plan. Cheers!
Si, I think the stone in the collar or cuff stud could be banded agate, but its very scratched and worn. The Docklands Museum looks amazing, well worth a visit. Thanks so much for taking us around with you. I found it fascinating.
Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
I'd love you and/or the museum to rescue that cart. Some lovely finds today Si. Loved it. Give Nelly and Daisy big cuddles and head rubs from cat-cousins Ollie and Oscar 🐈⬛🐈🐾 xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
Cheers Mudlover and 🐈⬛ 🐈 ! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The beginning of the video with your mishaps. Reminded me of Laurel and Hardy...lol
You should definitely rescue that cart.
The cats adorable as usual. ❤
Thanks for visiting that dock museum. Very interesting. Many of us viewers will probably never make it to London to see in person.
Here in Kansas we have a couple of really interesting museums. Underground salt museum and Cosmosphere museum. If you're ever here. They're a must visit.
Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
so much metal stuff everywhere
Right!
Thanks Si. The Docklands Museum was really interesting. It would be nice to see if that trolley could be retrieved from the mud.
Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Another great video. Thank you for the visit to the Docklands Museum

My pleasure Krissy👍🏻🐾🧡
As always, your videos are so enjoyable and you share so much history about the pieces you find!! Your enthusiasm is infectious! Cheers
Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
Absolutely go back and save that special trolley! I too wonder what people of other times thought while wearing some of the buttons you find! History is full of mystery and intrigue. Wonderful video! Thanks for the tour at the end!
Yes indeed save the trolley even if they don't want it it would be nice in your garden.
Thanks for the trip to the museum really interesting.
Please save that trolley Si….it is amazing! I would love it as a coffee table. It needs to be saved! Love your videos by the way!
Cheers Liz!👍🏻🐾🧡
The glass cullet that you found is amazing! It could be slices and polished,and made into pendants!It would look pretty in a window,with the sun streaming through it,as well!
Nice idea that!
I always wanted to see the museum of London Docklands, but never got around to visit but NOW I will. Interesting finds you made, hope you kept the glass blop it looked like a piece of the seabed with water above. AND YES you must go back and pull that trolley out of the mud !!!!! 🤩😍
Cheers Mudlover!👍🏻🐾🧡
