    The number on the sign is definitely a 9, because the footnote is allways at the bottom right of the number. Also i believe that the beautiful little figur you found is not a soldier but a hunter.

    Tried mudlarking today after buying wellies and expecting to find lots of ancient treasure lol. I found amongst other things plenty of modern wine bottles and (truth) a supermarket self scanner. 200 years too early 😂. On the other hand I saw some amazing old bricks, met some Medway crabs and loved EVERY minute of it.

    You've picked up so many beautiful pottery and porcelain shards that you don't take with you, patterns I've never seen before, even as an antique dealer in the States. I'm just dying to reach into my screen and pick them up after you lay them back down or walk past them! I've seen so many awesome things made out of shards, like bird baths, stepping stones, hot plates, necklaces, bracelets and on and on, all covered in shards. You're so fortunate to live in such a beautiful, ancient area, so rich in history and treasures, including your home.

They really help me to calm down at the end of the day, to stop the seemingly never stopping train of thoughts, so I finally can go to sleep, after watching your videos. So thank you, for distracting me, from daily challenges and calming me down.

We all need that right now; especially here in the USA where our lives are being torn apart by the pandemic and our own governments lack of brains or care.

    Because of this video I decided to go mudlarking myself. I only found a dolls plastic leg plus a metal spring, but then I changed rivers and walked over 1 hour along the riverbank, where also was nothing due to too far away from a village or city and all was overgrown with gras which made it impossible to look out, but I photographed the most beautiful pics. I had so much fun, doing this on my own, that I am hooked now and will do it again. I am overweighed and normally I do not walk. I can only recommend it, because it takes your mind of the walking because u r exited to find "stuff" .

She really got a bum deal from her cousin Queen Elizabeth the 1st😒. But Mary got her in the end when James stepped up after Elizabeth died(I think I've got that right🤔? Silly American 😕!)😉👍.
    Ahh🤗 your sweet kitty! Is it Blu or Boo? What a beautiful town/village Jedburgh is😊. So scenic and quaint, love it!!
    Great round up, such a variety of finds. Fascinating history on the shell bottom😲. COINAGE!!! Can't forget about the coins!!
