Yeah, well schools now get stripped of educational value as each gov takes its toll. The sbags learnt that to stay in power, and enjoy the fruits of our labour, they have to have a quiet and uneducated mass of voters. You get more education from channels like these than you get in years of school because of it.
I do love the history that is revealed with each one of you finds, and we learn about the real people who actually made the world a better place to live. I hope you'll keep the episodes coming for many years yet, Si-finds. It's all wonderful stuff!!! The Emerald intaglio!!! Wow!!! And Roman's wore garnets around their necks to keep them from harm. Garnet rough stones were made into seals and intaglio gems. Maybe that is how garnets made it into the Thames!🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏 Cheers, Si-finds.
**Sunday checklist** Give the pets their weekly treat ✅ Sunday roast ✅ Watch Simon's new Sunday vid ✅ Mission accomplished! Marvellous finds by the way, especially the intaglio! 😁
I love Si-finds vids too. Have you watched Tideline art with Nicola White yet? She’s a great researcher too. That’s a very interesting surname you have. What does it mean and what is it’s origin? My husband’s family name is a real quiz too…Pagan. We can only imagine who got donned with that name and why!
@@yvonnepagan9912 Hi Yvonne. The surname is Gaelic, and a few years ago I researched the family tree/history. Got as far back as 1735. The name translates as Son of Donald. PS I've been a keen follower of both Nicola and Simon for a few years now, they're both premier league larkers!
Wow Si! - those huge garnets, the intaglio, the musket balls and that pretty flower decorated pipe...what a fantastic day!! It's always great to be with you, on your mudlarking adventures, when working a long Sunday/Monday shift 😉 The clean up is fun! - the watchwinder, so delicate 💕 and the tokens, too Loved every minute hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
Awesome as always. Looking forward to hearing what the museum has to say about your emerald seal! Never ceases to amaze me how much history is just waiting in the mud to be rescued 🤩
Another Sunday morning treasure filled time with Si! Thank you so much for this today. I’ll anxiously await what the museum says about your special piece. And I cannot wait to see the garnets reappear in a future episode and how you’ve worked them out.
I THINK WITH ALL THOSE PIPES ALL OVER AND KNOWING MY GRANDPA 'S FONDNESS OF HIS TOBACCO PIPES I WOULD SAY THEY ARE TOSSED ABOUT LIKE THAT FROM THE OPIUM EPIDEMIC GREAT BRITAIN FUNDED AND FOUGHT CHINA IN 2 WARS TO MAKE OPIUM AFTER THEY HAD TOTALLY STOPPED IT IN 1500'S AND THE OPIUM PLAGUE WENT ON FROM 1600'S -1900'S AND STILL WRESTLING HEROIN ETC ETC!? 1
Londinium. The bastion of civilization in which you live! There are so many bastions,scattered across the globe,like pollen! And you find tiny marvels,each with a story,be it known or unknown,therein lies the beauty. Annnd,any video that features the super Dooooper Nicola White,touches my pitter patter heart!🥰 Continue to dig,lark,through the muddy layers of time. Stories will be discovered,mysteries will go unsolved,but,in the end,our modern eyeballs will witness beauty!!!
Wow!!! Si, what great finds today! So much lovely history in the crud underfoot, there for the taking. The intaglio was fantastic! You’re building up a little collection of them. The museum of antiquities must just love you! And the traders tokens are so interesting too. That John Watson had a very colourful life history. The pipes, the watch-wonder (which looked a bit strange to me), the pipes….it was all so exciting! Well done man, and thanks for sharing with all your followers. We really appreciate it!
This is your best mudlark in some time...for me, anyway! Great finds and great editing! Brilliant! I look forward to you every Sunday from here in the U.S.
Yes, that's exactly who I saw in that face, Davey Jones but I also saw an oriental man sitting. He has one of those moustaches that is separate from the beard. Jesus was put to death by Roman soldiers and they nailed people to a stake/pole, then they would stab at the flesh of the one on the stake/pole. Then once they passed away, they would take the dead one and wrap him in cloths with spices, then they put them in the tombs and placed a boulder rock over the hole of the tomb. All very interesting. Great finds Si!! Nicola was finding cool items as well!! Love how you clean up what you find!! I love the watch key as I've seen all sorts of them in vintage stores.😃😃🦭🦭 Thanks Si for a great video. We'll see you in the next one!!😍
Stunning finds, I especially like the emerald green Jesus Intaglio Seal & Norse plated bag seal! Well done!! Wish I could show you somehow a pic the the Green Diamond cut Perfume Bottle I pulled from the mud yesterday! Cheers brother
I watched every single Time Team video at least twice, then was searching around for something else on British history and found you! I don't know what I like more -- the historical context you give for some of your finds, the lovely mudlarking community you've built and share with so kindly, your creations from some of your finds, or your evident joy in what you are doing. Keep up the good work, and thank you!!
Idyllic conditions for treasure hunting - sunny dry day, overturning stones, rockpools and not so much of the mud ! Enjoyable video, very interesting 🙂
This never gets old, Simon! Congrats on the intaglio, can't wait for the Museum's opinion. Christians were in Britain as early as the 200s (some think maybe even the late 100s - imagine that). Church documents prove that there were Bishops in Britain by the 300s ... maybe you have an early Bishop's seal! 🦭 🤣 here's hoping!
Me and my boys are avid metal detectorists and magnet fishers, we live right by the River Severn. When I was a little girl I used to dig in my grandparents garden to find clay pipes! I started young! My mum and dad were antique collectors so watching you pull out things which I've had around me all my life is really lovely. Thankyou.x
Amazing Simon. So many lovely pipes, always a gem to find 🤗 lovely emerald intaglio, such a lovely colour. Coins, tokens what else could you ask for? Absolutely amazing. When we was in south bank Thursday I was shocked how high the tide acctually goes, it was lovely though with the sunset 🌅. Can’t wait to see Nicolas finds. ⚓️🌟 happy hunting
Simon I loved everyone of your fines today, I specially love the really cool little pipe that you found with all the beautiful decorations and flowers on it. Of course we know that I’m a pipe lover, Great video today loved it all nice to see Nick and I loved my Sunday morning coffee watching you guys it’s like you took us right along with you again thank you so much can’t wait to see you next week take care aside and stay safe❤️🇨🇦
Wonderful lark! Super finds! Thank you for taking us along. Thank you also for sharing your research on the trader’s Tolkien. Fascinating. Absolutely love that intaglio! ❤️ Congratulations on that find especially!
Constantine declared Christianity the state religion in 313AD. Officially adopted 10 years later. So the court century. The Romans left Britain in 410 AD
So you’re a great resource to add to all this historical stuff that mudlarks find. What a great world it would be if everyone was so sharing and giving. Great to hear your little bit of info!
OMG Si! That was amazing! I was pretty thrilled to see the pipes coming out but when you found that intaglio and token I was literally on the edge of my seat! Brilliant finds, brilliant video 😃😃😃 x
This was one of my very favourites, I loved the finds this time. You must remember to tell us about the Museum findings. Thank you for another fabulous video.😍
What a beautiful sunny day with a huge selection of treasure! Birds singing in the morning and the whole nine yards. That bags seal is plated because we Norwegians are fancy. Lol

I'm new to your channel and I thought your video was brilliant, especially showing the clean up! I'm disabled and really enjoy following channels like yours. The history is so interesting. Thanks for all your hard work.
Lovely to see you back on the foreshore again . What great finds you had , the intaglio was the icing on the cake !! Can't wait to hear how old it was . Great video as usual , thanks for sharing.
Smashing episode Si! Especially liked the history behind the Watson token. And thank you for the cleaning tutorial. And the plethora, well, you nailed it. Enough said cheers!
What a lot of amazing finds! The intaglio is super and can't wait to hear more about it once you've received a reply from the museum. And thanks for sharing the info on the traders token. Unearthing history is really cool!
The people under the cross were usually his mother,Mary and Mary Magdalene. Traditionally. That was a great lot of treasures you found. So great to watch you all hunting on the Thames
The finds are amazing, the intaglio is my favorite, can't wait until you find out more information on it. I suspect it may be older than suspected, what a beauty it is. It's amazing the history that is found on one small piece of coinage, with so little amount revealed. Just to many wonderful things to comment on, each piece has it's on story. Thanks Si, see you next week.
Wow just loved, loved……loved………. everything you found ……amazing. The intaglio, stunningly beautiful and the impression you made really bought it to life ….perfect 👏👏👏👏🇦🇺
Love the richness of the landscape My country is so young but comparison. My cottage is 120 years old...one of the earliest in Seattle. No mud but larking in my garden has turned up the riches of multiple generations. Crowing Hen Ranch Foundation
I have to say, what I would love to do before I die is just go on a trip to the U.K. and more so to go with you out looking on the riverbank just soaking up all the knowledge that I could! That would be so much fun!

The River Thames is possibly the greatest concentration of History ever!!..it's so unbelievably awesome to watch this...I hope you are up to date on your Tetanus shot!!...and do you ever catch a drop of water in the mouth..and have a gastronomical event?...
That's a lot of pipe finds there. I have to agree that the one with all those fancy flower designs was the star of the pipes you found. Cool find on the garnets. Some fantastic finds there.
Thanks for watching! To see my other video where I found another Intaglio - ua-cam.com/video/2IRh1PvDuUE/v-deo.html
Imagine if school lessons were this interesting, kids would be raring to discover more about history.
Thanks! 👍🏻🐾🧡

@@aserta - I learned more about the UK's history from Time Team, than I ever did at school!
exactly ! i'm sure schoolkids would love to see and be able to hold a bit of history, and ask questions too
Exactly and they can find it on their doorstep

Marvellous finds by the way, especially the intaglio! 😁
What a great list! Cheers Paddy
Same schedule for me!!

More pipe bowls than normal, must be because Nic is around lol
Haha true
That lead seal with the lion on made my heart jump. It's so rare to see Norwegian trasures being found in mudlarking vids.
Greetings from Norway!
Yay. So glad you appreciate the find! It’s a rare one too!
This is the best thing to watch on Sunday morning with Coffee and breakfast keep up the great content 👌
I agree! I always look forward to wake up with Si on Sundays!
I do the same thing. First video I watch on Sunday.Love it!
Cheers Jerry! 👍🏻🐾🧡
The MOST Amazing Intaglio I have ever seen with Jesus Superb find Si!!!
Cheers Linda! 👍🏻🐾🧡
i love these - so intricate and transparent too
Can't go wrong with pipes, garnets, seals, and that amazing Intaglio. Looking forward to what the museum has to say.
What wonderful finds. Must be one of those memorable moments to find such small and precious items. Looking forward to see what the museum says.
Cheers Robin. Me too!
The intaglio was a brilliant find.
An amazing variety of things...😃👍
Cheers Eddie! 👍🏻🐾🧡
I’ve not watched for a while and now regret it so much after this enjoyable video - I won’t miss another x

History buff here. This randomly came up on my UA-cam recommendations. Loved the cleaning and research at the end for your token. Fascinating stuff.
Si, you really have trained eyes to be able to find those tiny treasures. Good to see you and Nic on the foreshore together.
Thanks!!
It’s great to see Nicola and you together again .your a great team .more please
Cheers Robin!
I've been waiting to see the video Nicola made on that day. 🤔
Oh wow, what a find! It's beautiful.
Love the way Nic gently and lovingly teases the pipes out, Si just goes all captain caveman and drags them out kicking and screaming lol .
I THINK WITH ALL THOSE PIPES ALL OVER AND KNOWING MY GRANDPA 'S FONDNESS OF HIS TOBACCO PIPES I WOULD SAY THEY ARE TOSSED ABOUT LIKE THAT FROM THE OPIUM EPIDEMIC GREAT BRITAIN FUNDED AND FOUGHT CHINA IN 2 WARS TO MAKE OPIUM AFTER THEY HAD TOTALLY STOPPED IT IN 1500'S AND THE OPIUM PLAGUE WENT ON FROM 1600'S -1900'S AND STILL WRESTLING HEROIN ETC ETC!?

Hi Tom. Are you on Twitter? Post it and tag me 👍🏻
It’s not norse, it’s Norwegian 🙂
That was a very good episode, ten times better than the BBC. You found a Nicola and another nice man in the mud too. Thanks.

That would be awesome! But it took many centuries to become common place. Here’s hoping tho
Some people in Cornwall will tell you that Jesus visited there while a teenager, with his uncle Joseph of Arimathea. There is no evidence he didn't.
@@chazzyb8660 Jesus came from the Middle East to London? Quite a trip for a human being, but from God in human form? Nothing is impossible
Well Cornish tin was traded all around the Mediterranean, and beyond, and we know Jesus knew how boats worked…
@@chazzyb8660 Awesome!!
Fantastic watching the research unfold like looking through a window into history. Thanks for sharing your fascinating hobby
Just found you all. I love your content!. A bit envious I don't like to admit. Well done.
I love hearing the history of your finds. The amount of garnets you found is outstanding.

Oh, my husband bought me an intaglio ring as my engagement ring because I like it much better than a diamond. But i LOVE LOVE LOVE your find!!!
Your day was extremely productive and great finds.

Yummy....all those big garnets. Looking forward to what you find out about the intaglio.
