Thanks for watching Mudlovers! Why not watch the one where we almost died! ua-cam.com/video/cmL5fgD6R4Y/v-deo.html 👍🏻🐾🧡
That small blade for shaving
Beautiful finds!
I did watch it close call
That point is just exquist. Whoever knapped that was a master knapper. Not much could top that except Beaker culture point with a long dainty tail on one side only. Then you'd really have to write home about. Very nice point and blades none the less!
@@donteague614 I did get one of them very next time I went.. ! :))) Oblique type arrowhead. Plus a further leaf shaped arrowhead.
Given one such a connection to people 6K years ago...people with the same concerns in life we have, for food, shelter,protection etc. Best video yet. Thanks for this.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
You don't need a magnet. Very interesting, all the different places and things you look for! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Really? their lives so so distant from an average ^resent day urban dweller who wanders down to the corner shop and has a refrigerator and instant heat cooking appliance in their home.
Speak for yourself!
You've taken me down memory lane with the Mussels and Oysters!
My late Dad and me used to collect Winkles, Mussels, Cockels if there had been a rough sea and sometimes Oysters on a Sunday morning to take home and cook for our Tea. Dad used to leave the Oysters in salt water changing it everyday for seven days before eating them and I can still very vividly remember how long to cook winkles, heavily salting them in water first to remove the grit etc and the smell of freshly cooked Seafood with lashings of bread and butter, vinegar and pepper and a hot mug of tea.
Thank you Simon for taking me back to those moments of my childhood. My Dad passed away 13 years ago and memories like this with looking for driftwood and building a little fire to heat our cans of soup up whilst we were collecting seafood. These memories are worth more than anything else in the world to me.
Thank you x
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories.
@@karinberonius8799 Thank you!
@@maarinabudd 😊
Aw what a lovely memory. Thanks for sharing x
Yes, we used to do a lot of searching for shellfish when I was a child. The big cook ups and the feast with vinegar, pepper ( plus big slices of buttered vienna loaf) were indeed memorable.
Whoa!!! The person who made that arrowhead was an ARTIST-beautiful find, that is! I’m stymied!
Us too!
Stunning. Absolutely stunning!
I've been hunting artifacts in Oregon since I was 4. I have seen you and Nic walk over SOOO many worked pieces! Yet I can't see a coin 90% of the time. It's all in how your eyes are trained.
Hi Barbara. I'm a rockhound from Nevada and have thought the same thing. Wait! Wait! Artifact!
My eyes are trained for artifacts that you find in a typical dumpsite and I can spot one a mile away. I've wanted to find an arrowhead since I was a kid but don't know what I'm looking at when I'm comes to chips and bits and pieces. I find it interesting how we have trained ourselves differently.
that is so true Barbara.
I love Oregon!! In 1991 we went to Cannon Beach and stayed the weekend. We live just outside of Vancouver BC. Our baby did his first roll over there. Great memories. Enjoy!!☀️🌊
omg I am awe struck as always, but this video which I thought I wouldn't be that interested in, has blown me away. I had tears in my eyes when Sean found that arrow head and was so happy when you both hugged, you could see how much it meant to him to find that. Here in Australia you do find flints made by early Aboriginal people, which is amazing. I do love the things you find. I often find myself shaking my head in wonder watching your videos and the things you find on the Thames or the sea. Great great video. Thank you both.
Thanks so much Heneker! 👍🏻🐾🧡
My thoughts EXACTLY !
perfectly said!
Awww , I've been a Subscriber for quite some time Si but your little face shone when you found that flint and you brought tears to this old grandma's eyes 🙃🍀 . Really appreciate your time.. thank you .
What great finds...I'm a part time Archeologist and know the thrill you get when you find something extra special. Who needs modern art when you can find beautiful things like this 👍
Very true 👍🏻🐾🧡
Sean is very knowledgeable about a lot of things so always nice to listen to him. Well done on your finds too Si xxx
He is! Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Thank you so much for the nice video Si and Sean 👣🧡 😁 x
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
I just love it when you have sean with you..😄👍👀
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
The close up of the arrowhead was so beautiful. Congrats for a great find Sean
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Neil and Debbie 🤣🤣 they ring a bell 🤔🤣 nice arrow head Sean!
Cheers Ad! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Si and Sean together with a huge amount of love of history! Some famous sexy words used to describe Debi and Neo. Special finds. Blessings
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Good Sunday afternoon Si and all
Alright Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Gorgeous find! Incredible workmanship. Seems every day we realize more and more how skilled and cosmopolitan our ancestors really were.
Indeed! Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Oh WOW. I mean, it fires up the imagination when you find things from the 1500s or 1400s...but imagine the last person to handle those blades and that arrowhead. Imagine the way they saw their world. Think about just how much was yet to come. We have worries and concerns today...but the person who handled those pieces would have had their own share of dramatic do-or-die concerns. Amazing. Just thrilling stuff! Cheers to you both!
Cheers Scott! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Sean's point was beautiful. Larger points like that are usually considered to be knives or atlatl dart points over here. A section of antler works better that a rock for controlled flint knapping
So often people think America has no old history. We really, really do as projectile points are not rare at all. (At least not in Kansas)
Antler's great for final edge finishing and resharpening or touching up. Knapping is an artform in itself. 👍
I picked it up a few years ago, and started off by practicing on the bottoms of beer bottles and other bits of broken glass. Took me 3 months to make a viable point in the form of an arrowhead 🤣
Awesome video Si, Tell Sean congratulations on the Arrow head, that has to be the most beautiful one I've ever seen.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
This is what I do, I find Native American artifacts . The way Sean hugged you, that’s the way I hug my husband when we hunt together and I find something. It’s such an incredible feeling! That arrowhead is truly beautiful! Congrats Sean!!!!! You too Si!! That flint is beautiful! Now come visit America and I’ll show you how to find some beautiful arrowheads!
Hey der! from Madison, Wisc. Do you have a channel showing your finds? I’d love to learn how to find arrowheads and such!
Happy to! Cheers Liz
Wow! Just the greatest 😊♥️
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Sean is my favourite of your pals! Always lovely to see you two out and about, you are both so genuinely excited and enthusiastic about everything, it's a joy to watch. Big love from north of the wall!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
If you like those qualities in a human being, go to Amsterdam and visit "Bondi" he is enthused! A mudlarker as well!
@@ellenexmadden he’s my mate, we have both done collabs with each other
Well done Si, excellent as always. Till next time.🐘🌞🍁🇨🇦
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Great to see Sean again 👏
What a find...congratulations!!!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Sean's hair..? 😊 Giving Steve a run for his money!
Edit:
The sheer joy alone of finding that arrowhead was worth the entire time, effort and energy! Nice finds..!
Haha. Cheers Petri! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Love the updated duck feet! Lol! Amazing to recognize Neolithic worked stones!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
That arrowhead is a gorgeous work of art, what a find! It's beauty and shape also tells the story that it's creator spent some serious time learning the art of flint knapping. I would imagine whoever taught them was also highly skilled. Each knap mark on that represents a productive moment of that persons life. 6000 years later and it's still an amazing treasure. Love the western and Flint Eastwood references also.. heh! You both had some great luck in the muck my friend!
Haha cheers Montana 👍🏻🐾🧡
Well done. Fantastic find. Stay cool Si. Joyce❤️🇺🇸🙏
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
The flints are such works of art, it always amazes me how beautiful they are. And finding some beaker pottery is so cool too!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Loved all the sharp flint finds! The arrowhead bit and blades really got my imagination going thinking of the folks who so carefully worked those flints to make the tools which were so clearly important to their everyday lives all that time ago! Thank you both for sharing this history and for bringing us along with you.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Fascinating! Sean is always looking for incredible things, gold, flint. Thank you. I really enjoyed this.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
I never did find a flint arrowhead. When hunting for certain rocks, I would pickup every large piece of flint I found and add it to my collection. When we got home, I would have my father look through my finds. Flint pieces look wonderful in rock gardens.
😊👍🏻👣🧡
Well done what a great afternoon's work ! I feel excited for you and I wasn't even there !
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
I found myself SOOOO HAPPY for him & his dream find! I felt like celebrating 🍾 he was just so happy, and it made my insides giddy because the absolute joy on his face and in his voice was so genuine! XOXO 😘
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Awesome finds, Si! You and your friends never disappoint!
Cheers Ken! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Beautiful find
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Green with envy doesn’t even come close to how I feel. How lucky you both were especially Sean. My tip for oysters is spit them out lol. Really enjoyed this video thank you.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Awesome finds guys. Congrats on your beautiful point Sean.👍
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Wow wow wow! That was so amazing and lovely to see the joy!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Wow! Big smile on my face watching this ! That arrowhead is just miraculous!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Raw oyster in shell, shot of vodka, squeeze of lime
Best ever
Oooh nice! Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Awwwww, The happiness over The find Of the arrow head made my day , - So beautiful piece… congrats from 🇩🇰
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Looks like you are hooked Simon. I would be over the moon to find an arrowhead.
Yes it's a great hobby
Oh, Simon, what a dream come true to find this stuff!!!! Cheers!!🍺🍻
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Great episode that Si. Very educational.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Great finds Si and congrats to Sean on a stellar find! If you care to know, the reason the blades typically have a high ridge running the length of the blade on one side is due to the nature in which a flake travels. Flakes travel best, as well as more predictably, when following a ridge and over a convex surface. Great video!
Great info. Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
That you can find an item made so very, very long ago is amazing. Sean found a great arrowhead. It would have been so wonderful if you could have found a much larger piece (half ?) of the pottery.
Well you can't have it all
That arrow was so beautifully made, perfect. A very interesting muddy days find
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Im so jealous what an incredible and beautiful object amazing work as always Si love it
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
WOW Si that arrow head was a gem: what a find!! Thanx 4 the video M8, cheers, John.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
That was great fun and very successful. That was a massive oyster, I love oysters and mussels, in fact I can't think of any seafood that I don't like.
Cheers Debbie! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
I'm liking the wordplay Si, right up my street! Haha!
And Steve's arrowhead is amazing, textbook example I should think! 👊👌
I didn't get chance to show Sean the rocks I showed you, before he left, wish I'd of asked you to take with you now!
Hopefully show him next time!
Hi Ray. Ah yes, you were too keen to get detecting! We’ll be back 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Dude!! That Arrowhead is mesmerizingly beautiful. That is an incredible find. I felt envy and want looking at it.
I know! It’s a stunner
Lots of bronze and iron age stuff around here. Quite often the rabbits and badgers throw up some nice fragments of pottery and flint tools when excavating their wardens and sets. They're easy to spot as it's mostly chalk spoil. Always amazing to hold something really old that another human made. Thanks for taking us along. Be well.
Cheers Rob!
Warrens! Autocorrect stripes aghast. ............
Oh what a fabulous video, that arrow head is beautiful. How amazing to be holding something that was last handled by someone who lived six thousand years ago!😃💚
Cheers Cath 👍🏻🐾🧡
Phenominal projectile!! A real beauty!
Cheers Wade 👍🏻🐾🧡
Congrats to Sean on his leaf shape arrowhead. I wish I had known what to look for when I was a kid on the family ranch. We had Flint Hill that was covered with flint. We knew there had to be arrowheads because it was the perfect area of Texas. Alas, that part of the ranch was sold.
Aw shucks
Great find, that’s what we go hunt for is Native American flint artifacts in the Texas panhandle, the predominant flint is Alibates flint.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Love this! Congrats on the beautiful finds. I love that the various Native American blades I've found in California are the same as what was being made by the early people in so many parts of the world. So far apart geographically, but so many parallels.
Cheers Shirley! 👍🏻🐾🧡
congrats to Sean on his amazing find!
Cheers!
I had to watch this again. I was so excited for Sean the first time. Sean was so joyful . The arrowhead is beyond magnificent. Amazing!!!
Amazing to watch! I'm in Indiana, in the States, and as a child hunted arrowheads with my Dad and Brother. What I find amazing is that half a world apart indigenous people were working and using flint in identical ways! Simply amazing!!
Thanks for the educational mudlark!!
Cheers Sherry! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Im so happy for Sean! Such a nice little arrowhead 👍😊
Nice finds in todays video💕
So happy i found your channel💕💕
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Thank you so much for taking us along. 6000 year old epic find, what a beauty. Congrats.
LOVE the excitement and joy....awesome finds!!!! great day out!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Those are some awesome finds. That Dart point is wonderful. I miss the days when I was a teenager walking the fields where I grew up picking up Native American Artifacts. Thanks for sharing another great adventure Si!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
OMG that arrowhead is a beauty! As a kid I would walk the dry riverbed where I grew up in California and find some nice ones but very rare to find one that good. Congrats to Sean!!! Nice video Sci!
Cheers Mudlover 👍🏻🐾🧡
Wow! The arrow head was amazing! I love how you learned from Sean - and got some beautiful blades, too.
Cheers Liz 👍🏻🐾🧡
my 1st stone tool find was by far my best. and i found it entirely by happenstance! was playing with my friends running around in one of my grandpas fields when i tripped. and there about 4-5 inches from my nose was a 3.5 inch spearpoint or knife blade! it was on a little mud pedestal because it had rained recently and washed the surrounding dirt away from it. needless we all stopped playing and spent the next few hours searching for more lol. didnt find anything more that day.
Nice!
That arrow head was well worth the five hours searching all by itself! Well done 👏
It was!
Congratulations Sean!!
The pottery find was a amazing as well.
🤣🤣🤣🤣Si your cracking me up with Neil & Debbie. Flint Eastwood 🤣🤣Lmbo. So funny. How amazing finding tools made 6,000 years ago!
😂 Cheers JoAnn 👍🏻🐾🧡
What an amazing find, for Sean!
- thank you for showing us, Si!
You guys really have some seriously, good fun, together! 🤣
I enjoy being on the sidelines...
hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
Cheers Z
Nice cette pointe de flèche!!!!!!!!👍
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Chuffed fer Sean, what a find. A dream find. Cheers guys 🏹
Cheers G 👍🏻🐾🧡
Im usually not too keen on flints, but that arrowhead is beautifull. Well deserved great find!
Right! 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hi Sean, fantastic arrowhead mate. I'm well jealous lol. Great find mate.
Hi Barry... Yes, it was a fantastic day mate... Great to see you on here..! :)) 👍
@@seanwatcham8308 hi Sean, always watch Si, great to see you out with him educating him lol. Don't forget to shout me if Si or Nic visit our neck of the woods.
@@barrykirrage7230 I will do mate...! We are probably all due a trip out together again soon. 👍
So cool to find items that people made 6k years ago, blows my mind. Sean's point is a magnificent find! 💛
So facinating... Such amazing artifacts laying about like candy! Congrats on both of your finds!!😍
Cheers guys 👍🏻🐾🧡
Such cool finds. Obsidian is sooo pretty! Great Sunday Funday Si!
It’s flint, but thanks 👍🏻🐾🧡
Lovely video! I'm so happy for Sean!!!! He seems like a very nice friend of yours, Si! You have several true friends, and it's great to see them!!! The joys you all show for each other's finds make your videos such fun to watch!!! Thank you!!!!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
That was a dream day out for those of us who love history... And you gave us the opportunity to share it with you😘
WOW! Shaun!! A perfect intact example of an Arrow Head!!! You guys have done Amazing but that Arrow Head?!! Come on!!! Loved watching this!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💗💗
Beautiful arrowhead an other finds too!!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
We lived in Saudi Arabia and made some trips to the Empty Quarter and found so many arrowheads and tools for making them from Neolithic period! They were everywhere! That would be a great trip to go “sand” larking!
Wow!!
That arrowhead is to die for !! Awesome 👍😎
This episode was so exciting to watch! It's always a treat to watch you mudlark with your buddies, but I've rarely Sean, (got a lot of Si-Finds videos to watch), this one was particularly exceptional & gratifying. Everyone has a specialty, and Sean's is finding neolithic tools/shards. We were treated to a lesson in finding them, what to look for and how they were used. Every find was an education. But it all came together when Sean found the arrow head/ blade! So excited for him, especially since he was with you! Thank you so much for your hard & dedicated work, and keeping us history lovers 'up-to-date' with the history in the Thames. You are the Mud Lover : D
Cheers Liz! Appreciate that lovely comment
I'm shocked unreal find Sean. Nearly brought me to tears. All the effort is worth it when you find something so fantastic. Well done 👍
Cheers Lillian 👍🏻🐾🧡
Crazy nice arrowhead/$craper!
Awesome!!! 🇨🇦
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
The arrow head is gorgeous! Mmm grilled oyster. That looked delicious. In Pennsylvania, I'm used to eating them fried. Loved going out on the flats with you two!
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Those 6000 year old flint tools, worked bits and the magnificent arrowhead point are just stunning. The piece of iron age pottery was an excellent find as well. If I went out there, I'd be searching every day for a month and not get tired of it for an instant.
As soon as I seen the lines at 25:30 I immediately thought to myself beaker pottery and then Sean said the same. I’m an American whose watched a lot of British TV especially time team lol. The past is filled with so many things to discover!
Excellent video. Beautiful flint finds. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
Brilliant. Thanks gents.
That knapped point was amazing. The absolute talent to create such a treasure is a wonder. It's really a piece of art. Great video and discoveries.
What a great item to find. Nature gives us everything we need to survive and when you think of it, they didn't have razors to shave with so they looked around and found this rock very suitable for the job, brilliant!!😃
Great finds!!☀️🌊
That was incredible that arrow head wow ,I learnt so much,thank you,I love muscles with garlic cream and white wine.
Yum 👍🏻🐾🧡
Hey Sci! I really liked this video! I'm an old artifact collector and Flintknapper and really appreciate this. That first large utilized flake you found was beautiful! I love ALL of your videos but stone tools are my passion. Thanks!!!
Thanks so much! If you have any places we can search then feel free to get in touch sifinds@outlook.com
Even Phil Harding would have been excited about that gorgeous leaf shaped blade. Beautiful! Way to go, Si, on your find, too.
I bet! Cheers 👍🏻🐾🧡
WONDERFUL!!! Thank you.
Cheers Mudlover! 😊👍🏻👣🧡
