@@johnflanagan2316 So do I, - love the Peakys' accent and Rusty's, who's a Northerner, I think. I live in Germany's North-West, near the Ruhr Cities. Have a great day :)
I believe the reason you & others find wagon wheel hubs & similar shaped items in the river & canals is due to them being used as crude eel traps when food was scarce and eels were plentiful. Old food scraps are put inside a hessian sack, the sack is tied around the hub, this creates a tunnel into the sack and weight, this is dropped into the water attached to a rope, after a few days the sack is checked for eels and new bait placed in the sack and returned. Probably many lost due to tidal conditions, poor knots & eventually the hessian rots.
I haven't been to Shrewsbury in years and that area still looks lovely. Good finds by the crew, but more-over you did another outstanding job cleaning up the waterways. I love you folks, you're all salt of the earth kind of people.
I will try to hit the live next Sunday, last was Mothers Day here in the states. Congratulations Medieval Lady bird for winning the hub today. May it grace somewhere fun for you.
That was a fancy shoe for a child ...back then it would have belonged to a child from a well off family ....it's hard to imagine just how much metal scrap is under the water ....great job clearing some of it out....looking forward to next week ...Karl from eastern Canada
Such beautiful scenery. I watch all the litter picking videos. All the paramedic and hospital videos. All the law enforcement videos. Quite a lot of good and interesting things to learn about your homeland.😊
In Shrewsbury town centre they are 7 bridges the one bridge call penny bridge aka Kingsland Bridge it's only toll bridge you can see where posh people in Shrewsbury live
Guys you keep finding crutches for oars. A rowing crutch is referred to as a crutch and the term rowlock was only used to refer to a space cut out of the gunwale for rowing.
G'day guys hope your all good. Im off to the doctor for my osteoporosis injection to help with broken bones l broke both feet now it's not fun but I just have to manage🎉 thanks for the videos to take my mind off the bad shit and have a laugh. ✌️🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Would love to see you guys at the 13th century Swarkestone bridge rebuilt in 1797 after it was destroyed by a flood. Its a very long and twisted old low masonary bridge made to cross the river Trent and to cover any flooding. This bridge was the only way across for miles around so everyone had to cross it to get to Derby from the Burton-on-trent area.
Fun facts: People have been living at and around Swarkestone for at least 3,800 years. The only surviving Bronze Age barrow cemetery in the Trent valley is at Swarkestone Lows near the A50. The barrow is a registered national monument In the Domesday Book, Swarkestone was held by the King (William the conqueror) and by Henry de Ferrers. In the Battle of Swarkestone Bridge during the English Civil War (1643) it was defended by the Royalists against the Parliamentarians, but the outnumbered Cavaliers lost the day. In 1745 during the Jacobite rising led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, the advance party of his army reached here to gain control of the crossing of the Trent. Finding no reports of support from the south, they turned back to Derby; the invading army then retreated to Scotland and final defeat at the Battle of Culloden.
Couldn't make that up Glenn and Marie when that crud check rolled back in the river... as you saying easier to get it off when it's dry 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 quality video guys as always
Terrific video , You guys and girls pulled a load of scrap out of the water but with it some really good items to add to your collections . Must give glen a SHOUT for his huge tap wheel which when painted looked as good as new . God Bless you all , BIG LOVE , till next time , Stuart in Canada ..
Could your "offset" Motor" have suffered a catastrophic failure and melted the windings, bearings etc. and left the armature off center? Ther's no way any motor could run like that and I've been kept up all night trying to figure out what the heck it is. That's all I can come up with. Although I did consider it being a prototype mobile phone vibrator for those who kept missing calls. 🙂
7:37 A motor, but most of the internal gubbins have either rotted away, or mechanically failed. The internal failure caused the shaft to be frozen offset from rust and canal muck. There's my theory
"Things start going downhill when you are fifty" No truer words have been spoken. You don't get it until it starts happening! LOL
for the silver fox that 'sock with a weight inside' was possably used as a weapon
I agree, that’s what came to mind but I didn’t want to say it
I found one of those socks, just lying randomly in the gras. It was filled with sand though. A nasty little weapon.
Marie, you have a delightful personality and we Americans LOVE your accent.
G'day im an Aussie and totally agree . We love Marie's accent here too.✌️🖤

The barrel bins are designed to hold plastic bin bags with a holding clamp at the top and a flip lid used a lot in the 1980s

The offset object looks like it could be a counterweight for a vibration motor. Used for helping dry material pass though a pipe or hopper.
Rusty!! You are a youngster compared to me. 😂😂😂
Thank you.

Very nice!
Fishing all kinds of cool stuff, BUT, you also have GREAT music!
Thanks for another great video guys
Thanks Michael 🤗
That ladle would be cute in a garden with petunias planted in it. Set it in dirt in a bucket then put dirt in the ladle and plant the flowers in it.
If nobody has answered about the Argyle shotgun, I have one, still in use. Single 12gauge, 60’s era. Very robust shotgun.
Break wheel cylinder IN a sock, quite a weapon (called a sap?), would have quite a impact and then slung into the drink to get rid of the evidence
How do you get on peaky weel
Thank you 😊
Great video guys take thing’s easy Steve x
Hi Silver Fox
Hi Arlene 👋
Hello everyone, happy premiere day!
Hi Kim 👋😁
Hi peakys
Hi May 👋😁
Hi Mike
Hi Marie and Glen and Alison and Steve
Hi Kristy ❤
Nice find Marie ❤
I always like you research on the items Marie
@ArleneKing-ob7xr Thanks Arlene 🤗
Just imagine how much junk you've pulled out of the water ways since you started doing this
Why did Kristy throw the chain back in the water?
It was a chain that was attached to the side of the river wall for the boats.
We kept getting our magnet caught on it
im 51 and i ache al the time
Hi Glen. What is the date for the charity collab this year ?
Hello all Peaky Dippers

not spear head, looks like the end of a fire poker maybe Victorian ?
