I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the states. You know what we have on our beaches? Sand. We have sand. I get so jealous watching mudlarking videos!😂
Go to scientific cliffs by Chesapeake city!! You can find fossils and shark teeth and lots more!!! The Chesapeake has a very rich history!!! Do some research and you can find lots of places to search!!!!
That seal is absolutely gorgeous!! I live in North Texas 🇨🇱 and I would love mudlarking the Thames, that is on my bucket list!! Thank you for sharing your awesome adventure with me! Love you guys! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Firstly that gent at end is an absolute ledge... secondly I can't think of anything that's cooler than a birthday card done with those typefaces on some recycled paper! Just awesome! .. and that little man on the throne is just 🤌🏼😍👌🏼
It is incredible something so tiny & precious can be found kicking around the pebbles and mud - well spotted indeed! Nice to think it could be Roman...
It must be your eagle eyesight, with a touch of luck, for you to find something drop dead amazing on most of your hunts. The intaglio seal is truly gorgeous! Very creative shadow play filming the type - you will come up with great way to repurpose it, Simon. Thank you for sharing your larks.
Wow! That intaglio is just WONderful! I think if I found even a tiny fraction of what you all find, I'd just pass out cold in the mud! Cheers from Maine, USA!
Agreed! From Maine here as well! (on the coast about an hour from Augusta) & although I have a few good finds myself (2 pronged colonial bone fork, half a large colonial cook pot, what I think is an indian hide scraper, indian trade bead & pottery fragments) I'm always so jealous of his finds!
Like all true artists, you are at home when you play! You put the lark in mudlarking. The typefaces coming back to life in your last segments gave me the chills! OK now back to binging older posts :)
Be comforted, when I was a kid we lived on the line of flints that ran across the North Downs, and we used to call natural flints with holes in "fairy stones", rather than "holy stones" and treasure them. I've still got some I picked up 70 years ago!
Oh wow I love the bottle seal and your stamp in fact I love everything found , I think I’ve learned more about history than I ever did at school tfs xx
Ah that was great Si, I loved the stuff with the type set that you have found. The old guy at the end singing was a star- I'm sure I could see a lad having a wee against the siding in the background though!
Always amazed to see history coming back to life, and how much you people know. However I think about the owners of the various bits and pieces and what their lives and surroundings would have been like. Keep up the good work.
I really needed a good hearty laugh this morning, and your toilet referrals on the intaglio hit me just right😊🤭😂🤣. And that glass seal🤩, what a stunner!! And a perfect replication in the mud, WOW!! Beautiful weather 🌞🌤️!!! Sending positive vibes and 🙏's for good health and safety in your travels. And always...🤞🍀lucky finds.🤗🤭😘
The guy at the end playing keyboards on the beach was really great! I loved the intaglio. Here's hoping it's Roman. It's still an awesome find if it's Georgian!
Ive really enjoyed the music in all of your videos. Nice contemporary feel that just fits with your personality and all your finds and adventures. Love that you included the adorable entertainer at the end!
A little funny... I just started watching your videos not long ago and the first few videos l thought you were saying, “hello my lovers” of course l came to realize it was “mud lovers”. I still hear it from time to time. 🥴🤷🏼♀️😂
Salutations from Singapore. Awesome videos always. Just love how you bring us so low to the ground 'effect' just make you feel that we are there with you. Stay awesome. 🙋🏾♀️📸🥰❣️🌹
Seeing how unabashed the Romans were about going to the toilet, considering that pinching the morning loaf was a social occasion, it would be wonderfully ironic if the seal WAS for somebody who made a good living building sewers and latrines. It's a fantastic find though, even if it is a chap sitting on his thinking seat.
Si, this video is world class, enjoyed the incredible artistic display at the end, beautifully presented... and the gentleman rocker was a bonus.. love your channel ♥️
I inherited my father’s button tools he used in a factory in OHIO;USA. Before I was born. They are approximately 95 years old. My treasure! I live in Kentucky ,USA . Many Divers use to dive for muscle shells in my state ,in one of the world’s largest man made lakes. Kentucky Lake. They sold them to Asians for other reasons. Long story. I like your videos.
Well done, Si! Great finds and I really enjoyed this video! The bit where you brought the camera close to ground and skimmed the surface was cool! I'm excited to find out more about the intaglio!
Oh i was right near there Thursday...I had some good finds. Maybe one day I will bump into you. Thanks for getting me hooked on TGIs wonderful hobby. Good luck in the muck Si 😁
That Intaglio is absolutely stunning! It never ceases to amaze me the small pieces of history that can be found in those little patches of metal on the foreshore. It really is incredible the beautiful pieces of history that can be found. Kate found some beautiful tokens or one could be a 13th century coin in our last video! I really have to start wearing glasses on the close search as I am missing things! Brilliant video as per usual :)
I think that is Roman! What a find! I am so glad I found you! You all keep me so excited with what’s next? I just love history and with each find, u hold a piece of history in ur hands. B safe and stay well!
Throne..toilet..not too far off!! Seriously, it's gorgeous!! Thanks for the sunny trek along the Thames!! The outro was awesome!! Good rendition of a golden oldie!!
Loved the video, Si. Great production, mate. Well done. I’m keeping my fingers crossed the intaglio is Roman. It has that Roman feel to it. Keep us posted. 👍🤙
9:26- "The Imprint of History" would be a great name for a mudlarking channel. Beautiful finds so far. Hope you're all doing well and taking the necessary precautions.
As usual Mr. Simon, you have found a way to bring back the most interesting relics to life. It is of course the thrill of finding them... but I'm sure there is more of a thrill in finding out their history. Well done!
What a hoard of beauts you found Si! Amazing. I'll wait for what the outcome is and hopefully see it in the comments but I think it's even earlier than Roman..weird gut feeling lol
Your finds Si are amazing. That little red seal is so pretty and so small it’s a wonder that you found it, way to go. You two always seem to find the best stuff down there keep it up I love to watch you.
Wow what a brilliant channel, I spotted my route to work (Crossharbour) in the background of your other vid. What a thrilling little idea, nice work. Loving this channel mate, cheers
Great video as usual.. Love the seal you found. I still can't believe you find such tiny things in all those rocks, gravel and mud. Surely you And Nicola have 20/20 eyesight. The things ya'll find are amazing.. Thanks so much for sharing with us all since we are trying to stay in more right now with this virus stuff.. Really good to have positive videos to watch.
What a neat find on the intaglio. Looks like it was part of the ring type stamp. You have very good eyes seeing the tiny things amongst the rocks there.
Oh happy day! What some fabulous finds. Can't wait to find out about the age of the intaglio! It's beautiful. Nicola's stash bag was found in the 'nick' of time! A successful time was had by all. And I love the idea of some postcards with the old typeface pieces!
You lucky devils! I live United States, East Tennessee, where I do often find cool things like arrowheads, but it's always been my dream to go somewhere with such Rich history as the Thames and dig around in the mud. Oh my gosh that shot around 7:32 where the cameras is Gliding Over All the rocks and artifacts made my mouth water LOL
I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the states. You know what we have on our beaches? Sand. We have sand. I get so jealous watching mudlarking videos!😂
I know! I’d die for the chance to go there to do this with them!
Me too!
I feel like you could find cool stuff in Maryland if you knew where to look. I heard there are old bottle dumps around the old colonies.
Brenda Jones NJ here. SAME!!!! I'm so jealous!!
Go to scientific cliffs by
Chesapeake city!! You can find fossils and shark teeth
and lots more!!! The Chesapeake has a very
rich history!!! Do some research and you can find
lots of places to search!!!!
I love when you tell us the history of a relic you have found. It sort of completes the stories. Well done Si xx
“Thmaes” really got me
Kat F lol
Nic what a lovely person she is another great video Si .
That seal is absolutely gorgeous!! I live in North Texas 🇨🇱 and I would love mudlarking the Thames, that is on my bucket list!! Thank you for sharing your awesome adventure with me! Love you guys! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
I’m in north Texas too! I was talking to my daughter about mudlarking and wondering what we’d find here lol 🇬🇧 🇺🇸🇨🇱
Firstly that gent at end is an absolute ledge... secondly I can't think of anything that's cooler than a birthday card done with those typefaces on some recycled paper! Just awesome! .. and that little man on the throne is just 🤌🏼😍👌🏼
It is incredible something so tiny & precious can be found kicking around the pebbles and mud - well spotted indeed! Nice to think it could be Roman...
Small Wonda fingers crossed matey!
Thanks for leaving the footage of the Gent playing the keyboard and singing. Very cute. Love the show. From the southern 1st colonies
That seal. It’s the ancient depiction of the Demi god Constipatio
Lil Pipskweek haha Strainius plopidum
Wasn’t that intoninentia Buttocks, married to Biggus Dickus from Rome?
That’s the seal of “Two Barrel Bob’s Your Uncle” ...the famous brewmaster with an arse so wide he could straddle two barrels whilst seated upon them.
Lil Pipskweek Perhaps it is Cloacina, the Roman Goddess of the sewer. She is pretty important when you come to think of it.😏🖤🖤
Has anyone gotten back to you about the seal? Age or real names, ( I love the fun ones) It could be the seal of the Great Procrastinator..
Aw the old boy on the keyboard aw god love him i love far out people like that.
Little old man singing at the end made my heart happy. He was awesome!
It must be your eagle eyesight, with a touch of luck, for you to find something drop dead amazing on most of your hunts. The intaglio seal is truly gorgeous! Very creative shadow play filming the type - you will come up with great way to repurpose it, Simon. Thank you for sharing your larks.
Linda Odell Thanks my pleasure!
That bit *was* gorgeous!!!
Interesting as always! Can't wait to hear the museum's conclusions.
chuxmix65 thanks! Me too!
It’s the figure of Crapious he’s
The bloke who invented
Toilet paper of course back then it was called Parchment paper!!
@@Sifinds Was the London Museum able to identify it's origin or shed some light on it in some way? I've no idea where to check for updates?
I thought it was a privy seal. Lol.
Wow! That intaglio is just WONderful! I think if I found even a tiny fraction of what you all find, I'd just pass out cold in the mud! Cheers from Maine, USA!
Agreed! From Maine here as well! (on the coast about an hour from Augusta) & although I have a few good finds myself (2 pronged colonial bone fork, half a large colonial cook pot, what I think is an indian hide scraper, indian trade bead & pottery fragments) I'm always so jealous of his finds!
Haha. Thanks!
Hello fellow Mainers!
Boston here, these vids are fantastic!
fully planning to do this (under the radar) at Fort Warren over summer and see what kind of stuff i can find.
@@Teeveepicksures Hello Boston! Hope you get some 'luck in the muck'!
Like all true artists, you are at home when you play! You put the lark in mudlarking. The typefaces coming back to life in your last segments gave me the chills! OK now back to binging older posts :)
And then you have me who’s happy to find a stone with a natural whole in it! 😂
Be comforted, when I was a kid we lived on the line of flints that ran across the North Downs, and we used to call natural flints with holes in "fairy stones", rather than "holy stones" and treasure them. I've still got some I picked up 70 years ago!
Oh wow I love the bottle seal and your stamp in fact I love everything found , I think I’ve learned more about history than I ever did at school tfs xx
The old fella at the end said it risght about that seal..."WOO"
MrShannonite haha!
Thank you for this video Si.
Punkinatrix thanks. This was filmed a few weeks ago. I hope we don’t get banned from leaving our houses!!!
What an amazing find si, I can't believe u saw it as its so teeny tiny. Congrats si xx
Awesome adventure Simon, Great to have something to watch while we are on this virus lock down here in New Jersey. Thanks to you and Nic.
Thanks!
Ah that was great Si, I loved the stuff with the type set that you have found. The old guy at the end singing was a star- I'm sure I could see a lad having a wee against the siding in the background though!
Jan Enderwitz haha. Probably 😂
Great luck in the muck! Super finds! I also loved the singer at the end!!!
Mary Beth Cheers Mudlover

Keep up the good work.

Juliet thank you. Much love back atcha darlin’
The guy at the end playing keyboards on the beach was really great! I loved the intaglio. Here's hoping it's Roman. It's still an awesome find if it's Georgian!

I loved the video! But the little white haired guy at the end stole my heart away😊 new sub from Tennessee USA
Ive really enjoyed the music in all of your videos. Nice contemporary feel that just fits with your personality and all your finds and adventures. Love that you included the adorable entertainer at the end!
Hi Si, love your outings with Nicola. Keep having fun, and stay safe during these uncertain times.🇨🇦
Marion Bowler thanks. Will do. You too x
Dude at the end playing "Twist and Shout" was awesome, you can tell how happy he is.
Oh MY GOSH!, I love the older gent. He's fabulous!!
It always amazes me how you no what these things are whether there covered in mud or not,just amazing x
A little funny... I just started watching your videos not long ago and the first few videos l thought you were saying, “hello my lovers” of course l came to realize it was “mud lovers”. I still hear it from time to time. 🥴🤷🏼♀️😂
I love everything about this video. Especially Twist And Shout at the end. “Woo!” 😄
Salutations from Singapore. Awesome videos always. Just love how you bring us so low to the ground 'effect' just make you feel that we are there with you. Stay awesome. 🙋🏾♀️📸🥰❣️🌹
I'll join the crowd and say it will be interesting to get the museum's conclusion on the intaglio.
LOVE , the mud , clay, muck and the treasures ! what fun videos
Another great video. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy Hunting.
adveNZures my pleasure!

Biggus Dickus?

I'm so glad i discovered your videos!
And i never realised what a huge tidal change the Thames gets!
I inherited my father’s button tools he used in a factory in OHIO;USA. Before I was born. They are approximately 95 years old. My treasure! I live in Kentucky ,USA .
Many Divers use to dive for muscle shells in my state ,in one of the world’s largest man made lakes. Kentucky Lake. They sold them to Asians for other reasons. Long story.
I like your videos.
Well done, Si! Great finds and I really enjoyed this video! The bit where you brought the camera close to ground and skimmed the surface was cool! I'm excited to find out more about the intaglio!
Theresa C. Thanks!

annette fournier thanks!
9:26- "The Imprint of History" would be a great name for a mudlarking channel.
Beautiful finds so far. Hope you're all doing well and taking the necessary precautions.
Not Sure or just a t shirt!
@4:20, wow! Beautiful early carnelian intaglio. Etruscan or Roman, could be anywhere from 1st century BC to 3rd C. AD. Amazing find!
I just found this channel and you have inspired me to make my official family seal a man on a toilet
Great finds! I really enjoy it when Nicola shows up to mudlark with you! That bottle seal was Killer!!
Thanks Kerry!
This one is gorgeous and similar in color to my intaglio ring!
As usual Mr. Simon, you have found a way to bring back the most interesting relics to life. It is of course the thrill of finding them... but I'm sure there is more of a thrill in finding out their history. Well done!
Bottle Hawk most certainly!
Congratulations on all the wonderful finds 😊🤩👍
Fabian Wylie thanks Fabs
What a hoard of beauts you found Si! Amazing.
I'll wait for what the outcome is and hopefully see it in the comments but I think it's even earlier than Roman..weird gut feeling lol
Louise Aljaradat can’t wait myself. Might take a while tho
Well done Si! That intaglio is a stunner! I cant wait to hear more about it!!!!
I absolutely love to watch you find all those amazing things on the foreshore. I believe I would cry if you ever stopped making videos :)
Sherry Deken well we don’t want that do we
Best yet ! Thanks Si
Nicola , love your excitement !
Thank you Si for another great trip to the Thames. Nicola running back to get her bag before old father Thames reclaimed his treasures.... Classic
rollonbc haha. Thanks
Wow what a find, Simon i love watching you and your mud loving friends, stay healthy
The history archive that keeps on giving👍
I too am a lover of lead type. All the fonts, and one of a kind deformities.
picunit kindred spirits
Amazing as always Si. You have a flair for the creative and the way you display the items. Can't wait to hear the age of the intaglio.
Alex Carle Thanks sweetie! Me too!
That was awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Always great to see your finds. Today’s were wonderful !! Congrats
Mary Pass thanks

Linda Kile Yes. You must binge watch our vids now. Lol
Agreed, Linda -- both Si and Nicola have "sharp eyes" as Mud Lovers, which is a high compliment.
What a neat find on the intaglio. Looks like it was part of the ring type stamp. You have very good eyes seeing the tiny things amongst the rocks there.
Sally A. Thanks. I hope it is that
Lovely finds Simon. The intaglio was special, and I really like your work with the hot metal type, - creative as always! Thank you.
Padraic O'Domhnall cheers paddy!

I LOVE the intaglio... AND THE SPOON! 😍
Thanks for another great video. Really like your style of presentation at the end.
birdie399 Thanks means a lot!!
This is so awesome to find this ancient item.
Love the intaglio! I have a Roman inspired intaglio ring! It amazes me how you all find such tiny treasures! 💕
You lucky devils!

Carrie Like the Movie thank you!
Kudos, You are the man. What a find.
