    The "strange little green thing" immediately after the Lysol bottle is an insulator for stay wires on electrical wires or aerials. Still used ( though much larger and brown) for stay wires on wooden electricity poles.

    I've said it before, Simon, you are indeed a Renaissance Man! Not only do you have a keen eye for finds, but you are an accomplished graphic designer and happen to be a great dad to your two fur babies. You're also engaging and fun to watch. Great video, my man!

    I'm the great grand neice of Austin Balls. I'm the family archivist so know lots of information. Great that you found the bottle and I have shared your information throughout the family. Thanks

    I'm so jealous 😢. I live in Canada but I was born in England and would love to mudlark on this amazing creek. Really enjoy your posts😊
  • Is he being cheeky? Harry Balls/Hairy? 🤔😉 And his brother Massive? 🤣🤣🤙🏼💚🏵️

    The fairy lights (broken or not) are lovely. You know, I’ve visited London 3 times since 2011, and I now know that on my next visit I’d love to do a couple days of mudlarking (somehow) just for the thrill. The HISTORY where you live is amazing! And “Fanny” in Canadian implies your bum.
  • @debrah7548
    Loved it. That spot is just chock full of historic, fun, lovely goodies. Appreciate the shots of the hovercraft clean-up. More work goes into these mudventures than we realize, and a huge “thank you” to the both of you for all that effort.
  • The Roman shards always get me. Unbelievable at the amount of shards there are. Love all the history especially the lady bits lol Hello Daisy & Nelly!
  • The sheer quantity of Roman coins, shards, tiles & intact vessels never ceases to amaze me.
  • @SassSafras
    Hello si, I do believe your shaker is a pounce pot. A small shaker that holds ground cuttlefish bone used to dry ink. I found one similar but brown listed on eBay. Same shape. Great finds! Love your channel. And much love from West Virginia usa
  • @lisafarr2771
    Si your dialect is fine, all what you do is awesome. ❤

    Hello 👋 from New York USA, Thank you for bringing me along with you. Guy's I had so much fun watching 👀 you guys. I can't wait to see where you go and what you find next ☺️
  • @laurieleannie
    Omg Lysol in your fanny!!! 😮 Oh dear. As always, I love how you research your finds, it’s always fascinating!
  • America here Simon, my husband and I love your channel. Once we found you, we totally started binging every video. Absolutely love your art work on the blue bottle. Someone will be very lucky to add that to their collection. I'm afraid we are collectors of vintage and unique pieces. I consider myself and organized hoarder. 😂 My husband as well! We are celebrating 43 years married this year, so we are pretty vintage ourselves 😂 Anyway we just love your channel and your creativity. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Si! Hello from Minnesota! Thanks for the content. It is nice to be able to watch youtube with my 8 y.o daughter, and learn stuff! Thanks again!
  • @TenBob
    I can remember drink a pint of milk a day and go to work on an egg. Fab hovercraft and mudlarking fun. Love the bits of history 😎🍀💜
  • @oz-corner8281
    Well done Si! Top editing and especially love the ‘no holds barred’ history cameos which add real personality to your finds. This coupled with your creativity and skills in up-cycling really makes for a superb and entertaining view. Look forward to the next mudventure. Cheers, Kiwi.Pete!
  • @marionlesage4794
    Great finds, Si and Mark! I love the Hover Craft episodes. I’m always waiting for you to find another complete Roman pot or amphora. Your candle holder art is smashing as always. Thanks for getting muddy for us all again.

    It's a Oriental tea sive The other one is not a hat pin holder and the picture of the spice shaker being used to hold hat pins became a habit that people do in the 1920s . Real hat pin holder are more like pin cushions. The ceramic hat pin holders are usually repurposed items.
