I am always impressed by the wide range of knowledge the group has. You can tell they love the history, heritage and craftsmanship. I also love the companionship and how they are pleased for each other’s luck in the muck.
I bought a brown handpainted vintage teapot recently for $75 USD. They were sold in various flower patterns as fundraisers during WWII. Painted by volunteers of varying artistic ability..
Si, The lab procedure for smelling something you are unsure of is to hold the bottle in one hand at a good distance from your face while you waft over the top of the bottle towards you with the other hand so that the aroma moves towards you without putting your mucus membranes in danger from taking a direct inhale from the jar. Always best to err on the side of caution since they used to sell some pretty dangerous chemicals before the safety regulations came along.
Neat chinese cloisonne napkin ring! I found a monogrammed sterling silver one on the river bank, all tarnished black and muddy. I initially thought it was a plumbing connecter but picked it up anyway and was glad I did!
*Sifinds, Kev & Tim always deliver dump digging!* ❤Tim smiling with excitement over his ginger beer. Simon suprised by a beautiful & intriguing pair of🐉dragons in cloisonne. And a nicely designed & upcycled bird box!! Dudley 🧡😊
I love bottle dumps! So many different glass designs, colors & shapes...they really knew how to make their products be eye-catching, in Victorian times! 💗 Thanks for bringing us along, Si 👍 - love from Denmark 🌸🌱
I don't think I have seen Tim get so excited. He cracked a few smiles. LOL Clever teapot idea and loved the dragons. I think my favorite, can't recall who found it, but the blue bottle with the bubbles in the glass. Looked like stars in a bottle.
Thanks so much for including the history of the items you find. I'm a history geek from the US but my Ancestry is British, Irish and Scottish. Only a few generations back. I learn so much from watching your channel. Hope you get teapot tenants for years to come. I love your imagination in seeing them up-cycled.. Watching from Missouri.
Have you ever thought of doing an advert with a washing powder company to see if they can wash your stuff after a bottle dig! You could earn some good money! Lovely finds been looking at bottles this week in antique shops similar to those you find
Hi Robert, What you recommended would have been fine ‘in our day’ say the sixties and seventies. But those advertising gurus don’t even consider the human element in things these days. It’s all about clever, clique and comedy these days. No more human interest now. It’s gotta be ‘more bang for your buck’. Get ‘me by their throats and their wallets and purses will talk for them! A bit sad, but realistic I’m afraid. I’d try it, but I’m 68. It’s all pitched at the tech-savvy youngsters now.
Besides making very enjoyable content Simon, every video you post confirms what a genuinely kind man you are. You are and your work is Appreciated. : )
I love how your mate Kev always ends the day literally smeared with mud on his face. A true Mudlover. Cracks me up. The teapot nest sculpture was inspired, and looks great.
@@Sifinds so I'm wondering, when you coming up north to meet the Northern Mudlarks, fall in love with Alex and she with you, and you can both live happily ever after, making delightful mud loving babies? 😂🤣😍
I'm thinking it's a serviette ring (somewhat squashed). Search for Antique Chinese Dragon Cloisonne Enamel Napkin Ring and you will find images of similar rings.
Can still get rubber rings for kilner jars. We used them for pickeling since 1960 but they were around a long time before, my nan used them before the war. She was a hospital cook in wartime and swoped some rations of flour, sugar ect, at the back door of hospital kitchens, with poachers for rabbits ect for some meat to put in the dinners for patients !
Thoroughly enjoyed the dig.. great finds, especially that little blue poison bottle, the napkin ring thingy, the ginger beer and that orange-peel bottle! But from a lover of garden ornaments I loved the teapot feeder! 😊👍👍
Please please please! Hook up with the Mudpies they see lots of ginger beer jars! Would be a great episode! Love to see you guys wearing the Mud pans! Strange pieces of wood attachments to keep you above the mud!! 💕💕 from WV USA!
I'm Scottish, but my paternal grandfather was born and raised in Gravesend. He loved his Camp Coffee. And as a result of watching yourself and some other mudlarkers, I've started my own vintage/antique perfume bottle collection. Much to the dismay of my bank account 😂. Getting the wellies out soon for a spot of beach combing soon though.
Thanks for all the content. My favourite part is the deep dive on all the companies you do i find it fascinating! My mum loves your channel as well. Much love from Australia!
Hello Si, I’m amazed at the creative ideas you come up with. Love the teapot birdhouse. I do love the dump digs. Congratulations to Tim on winning the award . Thank you Si for the video. Joyce. 🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱. ❤️. 🐲🐲 Dragon piece cool.🐉🐉
Love that Chinese cuff thing how nice...... Si ur giggle is infectious lol I cant help laugh at it, another great vid...... cant wait till u film in scotland😁 huge hugs as always from Scotland 😘😘🏴🏴
Great day of digging with "The Bottle Boys". LOL I'm so happy you took those 2 paste pots. They really are lovely, & unique. The colours on the 4 small bottles really pop when they're filmed beside one another. :) I'll be back for the next video, Simon. I've been "hooked" for a while now. LOL Take care & stay safe. Bye for now.
What a lovely day of sloppy digs for you fellows‼️So many unusual bottles with gorgeous color...and the sweet perfume and poison blue bottles❣️I would love to be down in the mud for a day‼️Si ....how adorable is that teapot/ bird house you created❣️✋😻
Tim, no digging wells just bottles and such. Ha, I love the stoneware. No sniffing the old crap. I love the Ink bottles also. Oh and the tiny colored bottles. Aww, I love the Birdhouse. Great finds.
Very cool teapot and cup! That must be what Sara from Manchester Mudlarks was talking about! She had a tea pot and talked about doing what you did. She didn’t know you had made one so she said she was going to contact you as she didn’t want to copy u! I love how you larkers and so thoughtful and respectful of each other!
You guys have had amazing finds, really love the napkin ring, and the cut glass orb. Tims ginger bottle is awesome. Si , I just absolutely love the teapot bird house, really do hope a couple move in and start their family life xx
The raised wire work are "cloisons" that were attached to the brass/metal and the powdered glass enamel was inlaid into all of the sections. The technique is really quite amazing.
Thanks for watching! For more dump digging click here - ua-cam.com/video/quYsVQ9_a24/v-deo.html

I also love the companionship and how they are pleased for each other’s luck in the muck.
No kidding, hey?!!😃
This is what Sundays are for
Yes, these videos do make me grateful to God on Sundays! Kevin is certainly a very darling digging companion.
I bought a brown handpainted vintage teapot recently for $75 USD. They were sold in various flower patterns as fundraisers during WWII. Painted by volunteers of varying artistic ability..
Cheers Craig! 👍🏻👣🧡

Brilliant artist and mudlark, and a proper lad.
Absolutely solid bloke

Love how excited everyone gets when they find a favorite, like the ginger bottle. I’m a sucker for anything with advertising 💕
I love bottle dumps!
So many different glass designs, colors & shapes...they really knew how to make their products be eye-catching, in Victorian times! 💗
Thanks for bringing us along, Si 👍

Clever idea that teapot, especially as it will turn from ordinary tea to green tea over time. Nice one.
Not if I lacquer it 👍🏻
Aw Kev's mucky face...what a superstar that guy is. Some great finds Si and the upcycle was just genius. Love it.
Cheers Viv!!
Sunday mornings and Simon go together like PB&J!! Lots of "muck" today but glorious finds. Cheers gentlemen!!
Haha cheers Cindy!
My t-shirt arrived. Perfect fit and awesome quality. So happy. Thanks!!
Now I'm starting to name the bottles out loud as you pull them up. Drives my wife crazy 🤣.
Great job with the tea pot 👍.
Haha! Guess the bottle! That’s what we do 😂
That tea pot bird house is adorable and inspirational

Absolutely love watching the 3 of you digging bottles. Fabulous finds & love your bird box.
Thanks Gill! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Love it when you surprise yourself during the clean up! Beautiful “napkin ring”!
Always take it, you can Chuck it out later but you can’t refind it if you left it behind
Thanks for your ever positive attitude.

Loving the tea pot bird house it reminds of the mad hatters tea party off Alice and wonderland
Haha yeah!!!
Looks like a cuff bracelet a little squished, round out a bit
The mixture of bottles are amazing
Loved the bird tea pot and cup! Genius idea 🥰❤️👏🏻

What a clever idea for a bird box!
The bird box turned out amazing.
Thanks Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡
The dragon object is amazing! Can't wait to scroll through further comments to see what it is!

Cheers Angela. Surprised me!
Ah, our slow speaking “Southern 😉” gentleman is on the case! I’m glad to see you (and hear you) again! ✌🏼❤️
I love the creativity of your up cycling. Keep up the good work, Si!
Thanks so much!
Tim always finds the best places to dig. Si is too busy being Mr. DeMille and Kev is so quiet, shy and cute. *swoon*

Love the tea pot and cup on the tree! Great imagination!

Cheers Pam!
If you can find suitable tops for the meat paste jars they would make a great salt and pepper set. Your project turned out really nice.
Great idea!
BEAUTIFUL FINDS !!! 😁😍😀
Very cool teapot and cup! That must be what Sara from Manchester Mudlarks was talking about! She had a tea pot and talked about doing what you did. She didn’t know you had made one so she said she was going to contact you as she didn’t want to copy u! I love how you larkers and so thoughtful and respectful of each other!
Your Cornish ware mug that you used on the bird nester is in better condition than the mug I am currently drinking tea from !!!
Haha! Even with the drill holes?
Thrilled to see a new video. I missed you! Cheers from Washington State, USA.
Cheers Kitty. It’s only been a week 😬
It's interesting how I found one of those Elliman's royal bottle all the way down here in Devon
You guys have had amazing finds, really love the napkin ring, and the cut glass orb. Tims ginger bottle is awesome. Si , I just absolutely love the teapot bird house, really do hope a couple move in and start their family life xx
Thanks so much!
I really enjoy watching what you guys find in the dump. Great finds.
The raised wire work are "cloisons" that were attached to the brass/metal and the powdered glass enamel was inlaid into all of the sections. The technique is really quite amazing.
Thanks for the info on cloisonné!!!!! We all learn something everyday!!!
You beat me to it, Hunter R, good job. Must have been a beautiful piece originally, yes?
Thanks Hunter 👍🏻🐾🧡
