I truly wish every mudlarker wore safe gloves like you, Jason. The others make me so nervous, esp. when handling rusty metal. Excellent video though. Ps I also see the coin!!
I absolutely love your videos, looking forward to part two. Number one on my bucket list, mudlarking with Si, Nicola White and Chill Bill !! Maybe some day before I go belly up I'll get to go.
A lot to enjoy here, informative bits about the breaking down of ships, a variety of button bobs, and creative production values all around. Nice video.
we use bronze or copper depending on the budget of the owner and the type of boat. small boats used copper as they are often clink and bronze used in larger ships because they are non reactive with the salt water (im a sailor who sails old ships)
Just watched this and wanted to say that I have 4 ancestors on my mothers side that came here to America on the Mayflower, I would love to go to UK some day, esp Liverpool,, and perhaps meet up with the "mudlarking" gang, and possibly show me around a bit?
Wouldn't copper nails also be preferred for ships because it's relatively soft and would work better with all the movement of the water avoiding breaking the wood which is what I imagine would happen with a hard metal nails or is that me being dim? 😂🤔😮
So Jason's your partner? your friend, a mate? (Sorry but I'm being nosey)...whatever, he's great...very knowledgeable...I love him to bits... My mother's family is firmly established in Whitechapel and Wapping from the 1820s on (Ireland before)...I came here from Nicola's channel...think I'm gonna enjoy this.... Thank you Dave
Great video as always, my ancestors were from around Stepney from early 1800's, and 3x great grandad was a Tidewaiter, so if you find anything with James Cheatham on , its mine !! haha
Q .I live in the north and we have lots of scrap men who will come take your metal away, they would love it there with all the metal. Does anyone collect it as it is worth money the iron. Steel ?
you would never use a windlass for bringing in sails, way too much power. we hang off the yard and haul it in one handed; one hand for the ship one for your self.
I just came across a video you might like to watch and perhaps follow up on: ua-cam.com/video/ec0zoN809zY/v-deo.html It`s a fellow whose video name is Mobile Instincts and he guides us around all sorts of interesting abandoned places. This one is about Dead Horse Bay, all the way over on the east coast of America. There are millions of bottles which are mostly NOT rare, but I saw ONE I`d like to have! And I`m not even a mudlarker!

In Britain there has been a long custom/tradition/ritual call it what you will of throwing (valuable) things into water to appease the Gods. As you can see from some finds - Hindus (Indians) still do that. Nowadays we throw coins in water if we wish to return to a place or just to make a wish (usually in wells) - which might account for the modern coinage. And I guess holey pockets is another reason to account for the older coins. :-) Good finds though - always interesting .
The clarity of the photography was wonderful. I could see everything. I loved the silver and blue glass/gemstone button.

Thanks!
Welcome!
Thanks so much!! Sorry I missed this until now. Really appreciate your kindness 👍🏻🐾🧡
I’m watching some of your old videos…hope to catch up someday. Love everything. ❤
Hey cousin Jason, good to see what you're up to. Neat finds.
Omg there is a coin at 4.52 by the stones in the centre right , you missed it!!
I absolutely love your videos, looking forward to part two. Number one on my bucket list, mudlarking with Si, Nicola White and Chill Bill !! Maybe some day before I go belly up I'll get to go.
I am honoured! Get some practise in, on a beach or stream near you!
It always amazes me what turns up.
Love the silver and blue stone button...like your videos
A lot to enjoy here, informative bits about the breaking down of ships, a variety of button bobs, and creative production values all around. Nice video.
Will Be Jamming appreciate that. Thanks!
Great video Si and Jason!
nicola white mudlark - Tideline Art Thanks Nic!
Good to meet you on the foreshore that day . Great video
Your videos are getting better and better. Great programme you use. Good to see Jason in action too. Well done!
Tob2n cheers Tobias!
Looked like a Ballcock to me Si. Enjoying all your videos keep it up and Thank you.
david vinton Thanks! A great suggestion there!
Jason's accent intrigues me. He's American but has some definite British pronunciation on some words! I love it!
another good hunt Simon well done to both of you on your finds

Looks like a bedknob off an old brass bed. Saw something like it at my grandmothers home when I was younger.
These copper nails come from the copper plating of a wooden ships hull.
Very interesting, thank you.

Now a silver chain. Well done cool.
Fascinating finds :-)
Condolences to you
A cliffhanger...gonna be on the edge of my seat until the next vid...
M D Shouldn't be too long a wait, thanks for watching pal!
My ancestors came to America on the Mayflower
Great channel guys...learn a lot from your history lessons...hello from Clayton, North Carolina.
Just watched this and wanted to say that I have 4 ancestors on my mothers side that came here to America on the Mayflower, I would love to go to UK some day, esp Liverpool,, and perhaps meet up with the "mudlarking" gang, and possibly show me around a bit?
One of my relatives was on the mayflower, makes me wonder where they came from, and how they ended up near Seattle Washington where I am now.
I really enjoy your vlogs. Thanks for sharing👍🏻
Brenda Price thanks for watching. Appreciate it!
Great finds! The button at 6:40 is the blowhole design typical of the 1600s. I wish we had funds like that on the surface around here!!
RelicMedic Thanks for that!
Si-finds no problem! Love your mudlarking videos. You and Nicola inspire me to get out looking in my area, so thank YOU good sir
nice video lads cant wait for part 2
Great finds. Its chokka block in some spots, eh ?
2:31 lower fore ground? Thought cartwheel penny but probably too small. Looks interesting though.
Deluk I found a cartwheel a few weeks back - and got it on camera. It's a good'n so watch out for that one
that spherical object is probably a float out of a toilet valve. Now made of plastic.
Yeh, the old toilets, had a brass ball cock float like that.
Since the object at 10:00 has a flat bottom it wouldn’t be the finial from a bedpost ... my guess is a brass oil lamp with the wick part missing...
Jan Vafa Thanks Jan, someone else said this too, so a real possibility!
It's a float from an old toilet flushbox.
Wouldn't copper nails also be preferred for ships because it's relatively soft and would work better with all the movement of the water avoiding breaking the wood which is what I imagine would happen with a hard metal nails or is that me being dim? 😂🤔😮
Is that a coin at 4;53 where you found that bag seal, its standing up just to the right.
It was driving me nuts!
Pretty sure your mystery object is a brass bullcock out of an old toilet cistern.
So Jason's your partner? your friend, a mate? (Sorry but I'm being nosey)...whatever, he's great...very knowledgeable...I love him to bits...
My mother's family is firmly established in Whitechapel and Wapping from the 1820s on (Ireland before)...I came here from Nicola's channel...think I'm gonna enjoy this....
Thank you
Dave
cogidubnus1953 just friends Dave, and we are both full Mudlarks too!
Thanks friend
It looks kind of like an oil lamp fount, missing burner , maybe.
I like that idea! I'll pass it on to Jason, thanks!
Bed post knob :)
I can't tell if the spade dragging across Jason's throat at the beginning was intentional or not.
Didn't see if it was brass or not, but it is possibly a grenade. They date back to the late 16th century. I would check that out.
Brass ball from cistern
Great video as always, my ancestors were from around Stepney from early 1800's, and 3x great grandad was a Tidewaiter, so if you find anything with James Cheatham on , its mine !! haha
fallingonabruise I'll try and remember that. What's a tidewaiter?
Si-finds it was a customs officer that went on the ships that came in to dock, to make sure they were paying tax :)
That's really cool! Never knew they were called that. Thanks!
4:53 above the tip of rusty nail it looks like a coin sticking out of the mud.
kieran dixon That's an excellent spot! I hope for my sake it was just a copper nail head!
Si-finds alas we will never know... however some nice finds for the days hunt
What detector and coil does jason use on the foreshore?
frankie orourke Thames Laser Scout by Tesoro
Nice blue stone in the stud. Value ??
Could Jason brass thing be the bottom off a ships Barometer weather gauge,
Neill H Could we'll be thanks for the suggestion. I'll pass it on
Q .I live in the north and we have lots of scrap men who will come take your metal away, they would love it there with all the metal. Does anyone collect it as it is worth money the iron. Steel ?
Wicked video as always 🤙🏻 what camera do you use si?
Is Jason still around?
Copper is $2.50. A pound. If you could find a way to pick it up in a affective way you could make some cash.
11:45 I don't think that's glass.
you would never use a windlass for bringing in sails, way too much power. we hang off the yard and haul it in one handed; one hand for the ship one for your self.
Never clean coins with wire or they are worthless.

Why so many coins?

Thanks for responding, and too I guess everything dropped in the street eventually finds its way to the river.

Please stop rubbing coins with sand. You can't help the damage from nature, but you don't have to add to it. Nice finds and enjoy your videos.
