That was such an excellent outing to somewhere I've not been for a little while! It was great to go back there on that particular day with the most beautiful sunset - just stunning. I'll be showing my version of this outing next week!
Omg, I was thinking to myself keep it and make the leg lamp. Lol. As long as it’s been tumbling in the river, it shouldn’t break as easily as the one in A Christmas Story. 😂
I just have to say, during this pandemic and with a tragedy in my family as well, your channel has kept my brain occupied on enjoying the thrills of the moment. I have always been a little scavenger here in the states, looking for arrowheads and fossils, but for my birthday yesterday, I went out and bought my very first metal detector after being inspired by your adventures and luck in the muck. Thanks for sharing your love of history with all of us. You've helped, without knowing, keep my head straight during a really awful moment in life. Thanks for all you do to preserve history.
“How deep is your mud”?? Hahahahaha!!!! I will refrain from a detailed comment on that song title. Hilarious Si! And Nicola dear,.. you are rock’n those green sequins!
You have so many historian archefacts lying around (ships, bottles, Roman finds, pipe bowls, pontons and, and and). It seems like it is so much, that only mudlarkers care about it. Over here in the Netherlands you don't have that. Sure there are places where you like to find history, but you's have to look very intesively. It's mostly not near the surface, so you'd have to dig and search for a longg time. It's so much fun to 'walk with you' and see the things you find and look at the landscape 👍🏻
I found a deceased chap on my local beach in May 2019. I remember walking out to him thinking "I hope this is a manakin" sadly it wasn't. You get used to finding all sorts of dead stuff when you beachcomb but you never expect to find a person. Quite a shock.
My girlfriend and I were out with our fellows many years back. We came upon a heap of Seaweed, and a man who had drowned a few days before on the same beach! What a scare for us as teenagers!!!
Fun hunt! Love the leg... it would have scared the heck out of me too! Cool bottles today too. Thanks for sharing your muddy adventures with us. Congratulations to the winner of the pendant!
You two were very sweet in your Christmas gear. Sci - I love the upcycle of the newspapers and found objects! Great salvage on the newspapers, use of the objects AND creation of a new useful object! Well done!
A glorious day for a holiday lark! Thank You! Simon, for taking us aboard the old barges & closing the year with lovely shots of the sunset. Happy holidays, every one! 🎅🐱
What a fun muddy outing! I think all of us here in the US thought of the Christmas story leg lamp when you found the leg. " It's a major award!" 😂 Merry Christmas and a happy luck in the muck new Year!
Merry Christmas Simon and Nic! thanks for a wonderful year of finds and interesting Sunday morning vids. A better year ahead for us all is just around the corner!!
That song. That song. Here,across the Atlantic,I sit here,and I admit that I weep. It is beautiful a song of a river. We treasure the rivers,do we not? Yes. Yes,we do.
Oh brother, LOL, now when I listen to that Bee Gees song I will be thinking of you and Nicola's lark amongst the barge wreckage and your squelching, muddy boots. 😹 Congrats to ChantillyChandra on winning the beautiful necklace, what a wonderful Christmas bonus gift. Merry Muddy Christmas and Happy Hunting Holidays!
Completely unrelated to mudlarking, but seeing that leg reminded me of my grandma. She had one leg since she was 13. Had a false leg which she hated. When she moved house, she left it in the cupboard under the stairs. As I'm here, have a good 25th, if that's possible this year and have a better 2021.
Love the education. Working man on the river songs very nice. I really enjoy seeing the struggle in the mud especially when you find something so worth the effort. You have my respect and enthusiasm.
Nothings says 'Mudlarking Christmas' better than a green sequin coat and a Santa Hat! Some lovely bottle finds today Si - my favourite is the little inkwell. Congratulations to the winner of the Gold Ring! and a Merry Christmas to both you and Nicola and to everyone, where ever you are! Blessings!
Thank you Simon for a wonderful year of mudlarking, you certainly sent bucket loads of cheer and wonderful moments in a dark and torrid time in our history. Please stay safe and well and enjoy your Christmas and New Year. 🌟
That was great !! Those old boats, are so interesting and cool!! I hope you have a wonderful and Happy Christmas!!!! Hope 2021 is going to be a better year for all of us!!!
That walking into the sun on the horizon shot was gorgeous🌅 Hope you have a nice break thanks so much for all the videos, knowledge and giggles shared throughout the year, reckon you made the good list 🎄🎅⛄
Lovely scenic shots. It just gets better. Wishing you both and families all the very best for Christmas and the new year. Thank you, and just keep doing what you're doing : ) x
Something about this channel is so relaxing, yet so engaging at the same time, from the history lessons, to the amazing art created, plus Si seems like a really great guy! If you're reading this thank you for the great content!
Si ,, You are so lucky finding all the things you do. You don't jump up and down when the find is golden. Such a gentleman to all the Ladies that you Mudlark with. You show them how and then let them do it with only a watchful eye. Going out with Nicola White on this trip Made me laugh and get nervous when you walk on the mud, and then the find and all is okay and happy for you that you found things that are worth digging out of the mud. Susann
Awesome to see you two out and enjoying decent weather!!! And mud! And in case you got stuck, you could use Nicola's jacket to flag down a passing hovercraft, UFO or satellite!!! Loved the cinematic shots and the accompanying songs! Both of you -- and your families and friends -- have a safe, healthy and Happy Christmas!!!!
Some great bottle finds and upcycles. Wendy of Clark Jewellery makes some wonderful reasonably priced items. I bought a Picasso Jasper pendant which arrived in the post 2 days later, it was beautifully packaged and it was lovely to support a small, British business. Thanks Si for the introduction.
Another great video for Sunday. Especially since the Covid is out of hand again in my town and is a cold rainy day to boot. I also lost my Aunt a week ago so I needed this. Nothing like a video from you to get me through 🥰💕
Very striking video with lovely bottles and the Pratt ware is so nice. The shot of the setting sun was gorgeous...go lovely artists, historians! I just love those big iron hooks, anchors, and nails...stunning stimulation for my imagination about historical times. Thank you so much for taking us along. You are so lucky to have such a rich place to find so many gems. How deep is your mud? Omg...the music made me feel like I was in a pub celebrating MUD! HILARIOUS! WELL DONE, SI AND NIC!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!UPCYCLING IS GLORIOUS, SI! SO PROUD OF WHAT ALL MUDLARKERS DO...IT IS SO NICE TO SEE HISTORY AND YOU GET TO TOUCH IT AND BRING IT BACK TO LIFE!!! WOW, GUYS! LOVE IT!!! I WISH I COULD GO ON A LARK...why am I capitalizing...I dont know...my fingers are constantly going for larks on my qwerty...lol! The pink knob...lmao! I got so embarrassed. Dont touch the "pink knob!" Who knows where it's been!!!???!!!...lol! It is like the pink panther...a clear winner of many awards!!! Sorry...see what aging does to a relatively good person...? Just call me "randy"!!!
I recall that in my history class I was taught that King John of the Magna Carta fame,lost all the Crown Jewels somewhere in the mud flats on the English Coast... I wasn't there, so it's not an issue with me... You're a very good presenter of both the mudlarking and the cleaning up of your findings... PS... you're in good company,too A very good Christmas to you both.🙏
I'm having a blast with your videos, I had never heard of Mudlarking until lately, and have to say it's amazing. The finds you come across are so interesting. Here in America we don't have the many things you find, since America is quite young considering the ancient countries else where.
Beautiful bottle finds Si, it would be fantastic to find bottles like that here in the State of Oregon. Thank you for sharing your wonderful videos! I've become a mud lover from watching your videos. A very Merry Christmas to you!!
Hi Sci & Nicola, season's greetings, thanks for taking us along , you had some nice finds, and the weather looked good, for the mud,lol. Let me whish you all the best for a merry Christmas and a Happy New year, stay safe, kind regards Stuart.uk.

Love your jacket, Nicola! 🤩

The leg of the Italian lamp in Christmas Story! "Fra--gee-lay"
haha! that line always makes me laugh!
That was my first thought! 😂🦵🎄
It's a major award!
@@johndundas5875 🤣🤣🤣
Omg, I was thinking to myself keep it and make the leg lamp. Lol. As long as it’s been tumbling in the river, it shouldn’t break as easily as the one in A Christmas Story. 😂
Always fun when you and Nic get a trip in together! Cheers and Feliz Navidad from Costa Rica
Simon, your mudlarking videos are turning into art films. Your talent at the compositions and music is really fantastic.
Thank you so much!!
11:50 Now we know where Ralphie's mom dumped that lamp! very Christmassy find!!
Tks

Happy birthday beautiful. It gets easier.

I find tree gum,the odd bottle sea- smoothed bricks from an old brickworks here in new Zealand. I am thinking of getting a metal detector too.

It always baffles me how you can’t see the selfie stick in Si’s hand 😂
I know.... me too!
@@margiebrown7436 It`s using a 360 camera that does it ,the camera can`t see the stick as it is beneath the camera
Right!?

So funny, I had to laugh at your outfits when you both were walking along. Thanks for all the fun throughout this past year 👍💞

Congratulations to the winner. Simon, give Nelson a chin tickle from me. Hope you have a nice Christmas. More luck in the mud for 2021. Take care.

Cool video. Love it when the cat is on too.

As a Southend-on-Sea girl, the song about the mud made me chuckle!
😆 the mud us good for your feet!
Si and Nicola are just great in the mud together !!!!!!

Ian grateful for the gift of your videos. Cant wait for Nichola’s version. Merry Christmas Simon and Nicola let’s wish for an awesome 2021!
"The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath"
And with such a short stem
Do you suppose
That most of the smoke
Went up his nose.
The 20th century pictures usually show a churchwarden pipe.
Another great video. Congratulations Chantilly! Merry Christmas to all.
That song.
