    So-finds, you are the sweetest, cutest, funniest young mudlarker I’ve found to watch. Love your honesty, when you drink from your bottles, how you investigate and report their value to us and just the commaraderie you share with your friends. Love watching you create new things out of your old finds, out in your back yard...accompanied by chickens and stray cats! You keep feeding NELSON those tasty bits and he’ll be a regular...a stray no longer! We do what we can to take care of all God’s creatures eh? Enjoy watching you and Nic, you and Matt, you and Steve, you and Chill Bill, you and just about anybody!!

    And just when I thought this channel couldn’t get any better, Si whips out a wood lathe and makes a gorgeous bowl out of a piece of old wood on the shore... And then adds shined up brass hand turned nails...I love it! Can’t say how much I look forward to the Sunday morning dose of history, creativity, and Simon’s all around good humor.

    Excellent finds on the river, and such a nice stray kitty! That wood looks a lot like red mahogany, and the brass nails are perfect with it. My Dad taught me how to use the lathe years ago. I loved woodturning!

  • @kimn1553
    @kimn1553 4 роки тому +1

    Hi Si. Love your work. I'm from Western Australia and I can tell you 100% that that wood for the bowl is Jarrah, pronounced 'ja' as in jacket and 'ra' as in the Egyptian sun god. One of the hardest and most durable woods on the planet. It's a true hardwood. It has a myriad of uses; railway sleepers, furniture, power poles, flooring, wharf piles and interestingly was exported all over the world and used for roads and footpaths in Britain, particularly in London in the 19th century. Still used today.

    Great seeing Cuffs! The ring he found was exceptional!

    That strange sound was either the wail of a banshee, or a flock of seagulls and I don't mean the 80's band. Nelson is handsome in his beautiful, black coat. You've fed him, now he's yours. With all of those chickens about, when can a girl get an invitation to quiche? Kidding, well, not really. What a talented man you'd be to have around the house. "Dear, I've broken a bowl." "Never mind, bring me my axe." Thanks for another inspirational video. Enjoyed as usual.

    You are such a multi talented guy! You are also the most knowledgable of all the mudlarkers on You Tube. I was wondering, did you go to school to learn all of the history behind the artifacts you find,or is it just from online research and an abundance of experience doing the actual mudlarking.? You remind me of my Civil War re-enacting buddies who were walking history books! If all of this is your full time job, you are truly blessed!

    • @Sifinds
      @Sifinds  4 роки тому

      Hi Linda. I hated history at school. It was just big books of dates and facts, so I dropped it and took Geography. I have learned everything post school from talking to more experienced mudlarkers, online groups and watching history programmes. It’s just a hobby tho

  • @spinny2010
    @spinny2010 4 роки тому +3

    The bowl is up to £72 already. Hope it at the very least tripples. Great charity Si. Chickens are one of the most persecuted livestock animals worldwide, in my opinion. Also, I left a message on one of your older videos recently(ish) "Mudlarking and MUDbarking". Told a Thames story I think you would find funny and interesting. You probably didn't see it as it's an old vid. Great episode as per usual.

I think you should make it official and claim him as your own. You two make a great team. Would love to have the bowl. It’s just amazing that you took that discarded unwanted chunk of wood and turned (no pun intended) it into a work of art. Thanks for sharing all.

    @f.k.burnham8491 4 роки тому +20

    I'd like to suggest:
    Use a metal detector on the wood before cutting or turning. It can find hidden nails. ( It can save hundreds of dollars if you are a sawyer.)
    From the looks of it, your lathe tools seem like they could stand a good sharpening. They will then leave a much smoother and easier cut. A conical fine/ hollow gouge stone for lathe tools is quite inexpensive. Mine was under $10.00 USD.
    Some different grades of sandpaper might also help, unless you were trying for the cruder, more primitive look. In a pinch, you can use (literally) pieces of sand stone! or make your own sandpaper with heavy paper as the backing, a light coat of glue and then coat liberally with different grits of sand. A prospecting classifier set really can help with that. Let it dry for a couple of days & you are ready to go.
    I applaud your adopting Nelson The Cat and the Chicken Rescue charity.

      He seems smarter than the average bear, like to have edited that entire craft down to a few minutes only putting in a few highlights. I dont think he's teaching nor claiming to be a professional woodworker. anyway, I agree with the idea that his crafts are less refined on purpose. He's very creative with all of his craft ideas and amusing. I think he puts more effort into the videos cuz theyre banging awesome.

    Where to start! Si, you are so artistic and talented, I love all of your beautiful and inventive makes. The bowl is super and somehow has a nautical look to it, it reminds me of a porthole. I love that you are donating to hens welfare (my Mum loved hens!), on behalf of hens, thank you! And I love Nelson, best name ever for a puss, I had my own Nelson years ago. You are a lovely man Si and I'm thrilled for you that you've found some of your longed-for Roman pottery recently. More to come! xxx

      I'm wondering if the scratch is a planchet error ( where the coin is struck on a damaged planchet) that would make it unique and desirable to error coin collectors 💲💲

    • @bassassassinnn7459
      @bassassassinnn7459 4 роки тому +1

      @@drunkdunc8738 sorry but no, it's post mint damage. It's still likely worth a few hundred dollars in its condition. If I found that here in the U.S. in that condition I would flip my lid. We get big coppers, but they're never found in that condition. Maybe gold and silver coins, but not coppers.

      David Raful 👍Its a stunner, shame about the scratch then. but like you said it's way better than any coppers being found on US metal detecting and archaeology videos. Thames mud must be the secret, correct ph and lack of oxygen?

    Another great adventure!!! It’s amazing to me that you can find coins that old ; being from the states that’s older than our country 🤔!!! Thanks for the hard work it looks easy on the tele , but I know it’s very hard work.... great job on the bowl 🌀

    Awesome finds, loving the coin and your bowl is fantastic. As an Aussie with Jarrah floorboards, I agree your bowl is made from that. Imagine the journey that wood went on.
