    Great video! You, Nicola, and a few other "pipe specialists" should get together, photograph your pipes, and put out a picture book! I would buy it because I just love looking at those old clay pipes and imagining the people who used them. Some of them are so artistically decorated and beautiful that they should be put in a picture book! Thanks for everything you do, Simon!

    I find the clay marbles very interesting for in the area of southern Louisiana they have found identical marbles that the native americans used pre pottery and they cooked in leater containers. They would get clay marbles very hot in a campfire and they would add them as needed to their meat and liquids as needed. If they needed more heat they just added more marbled. Wow, to see marbles used used in similar ways in different continents really blows my mind. Wow!

    That round piece with the holes reminds of a toy in the USA called tinker toys. There were those round pieces and then wood dowels that you could construct with.

    The hook with red bead is a bead necklace clasp. It was hooked between linked beads for an adjustable length. BTW love the whistle idea.

    I can't believe you found 3 amazing pipes in one day (between the 3 of you). Those face pipes seem pretty rare, and to find 3 in one area in one day seems just amazing to me. Congrats to you all! I agree with you on the mystery item, it really does look like two swans with their head tucked under their wings. Whatever it is, is very pretty. The whistle you made is really cool. Thanks for the fun video. 😊

    The white knob thing you located at the first showed, I believe would be the knob from a soup tourine. They had the heavier lid knobs due to the size.

    Just fyi silent (decorative!)pipe stems on a necklace could be used by people who have panic attacks! It helps to breathe through the tube and exhale twice as long as the inhale. Patients and behavioral therapists can use them.

    Jules opal looking piece is opalite. Actually a glass product. Found in metaphysical shops, sold as a gem stone or crystal. My guess it's modern.
    Love that you all found figural pipes!
