Thanks for watching the muddy madness. For more mudlarking CLICK HERE ⭐️ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2IRh1PvDuUE.html⭐️

It is of course my anchor! And my bottle by the way!! Give them to me straightaway - you tea leaf you!! x

Never thought I’d find so much inner peace watching someone digging in mud 🙏

Seems to me, the foreshore is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll find. Love Nellie, awesome cat. Love a good night lark.🍁🐘🇨🇦👣

Nelson is a beautiful cat, love the black fur and green eyes. Thank you for putting him in the video. Lovely finds, you present history in a relatable manner. Doesn't seem so far off.

What a treat for this wonderful Sunday!!! Glad to have you apart of my weekly routine

So Cuffs is not only the 'knower of all things' but also Hercules! 💪 Good job he was there to help pull up the anchor and break off the crust! 😉 It turned out beautifully. I love the bottles too ❤️

Got to love the Plantagenet token. Great anchor too, and the chain.

🖐 from America here. I cannot get over how you say "h" lol we say "ache", and you say "hache" lol. I love your videos and really wish I could go mudlarking! Thank you for everything you do!

Aw i love when you two go exploring and mudlarking always great banter🐺🤩🐒🐵🙃

Love when cutie Cuffs is with ya!😉

I really enjoyed seeing this mudlarking by headlamp. It really highlighted Si & Cuff's addiction to low tide exploration! There are 50 million RU-vid creators & Si is one of the best!

You went from finding an anchor with a 16ft chain to the tiniest bead. Can't get more opposite than that.

The anchor is fantastic! What a great find!

Eagle eye Si! Only you could spot a teeny tiny bead in the mud in the dark! 😅

And he tugs and yanks and pulls the plug right out of the Thames! Oooops! Lol! Great fun! Lovely anchor...sweet Nellie!!

Your little pink stone at the beginning could certainly be a ruby as far as the colour goes, as rubies come in all sorts of shades, from deep burgundy through to bright pink!! However the facets look a little worn, which makes me think it might not be a ruby, as rubies (and sapphires) are very hard and are often used as abrasives for other stones (they are called corundum in that context), whereas that stone looks like it might be too soft. Other stones that can be pink like that include garnets (which also come in green), spinel, tourmaline, and more rarely, fluorite.

The boys Si & Cuffs in their element. Love the anchor but when you find type it is so exciting. Those pieces are so tiny! Love me a Nelson cameo!!!! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Rubies flouresce under black or ultraviolet light..good luck 🍀! What a Fantastic Anchor!!!

4:01 That glass nodule thing is a worry stone. They were made as a sensory pocket toy to rub and fidget with! I have one but with teal, black, white, and clear glass. Amazing find!

Just look at that anchor! Lovely Jubley! How dare you remove my anchor from my boat, put it back!🤣🤣🤣 lol, lovely find Simon!

Love from the old lady in Texas may God bless you always and forever

That Anchor was a really cool find Si-Finds

I think that gem at 3:30 might actually be a Rhodolite. It's a type of garnet, but they tend to be a more violet pink.

Both Si and Cuffs always seem so positive and happy, it’s so refreshing! This is why I love binge watching this channel

Ha-ha! Great token though, Cuffs - just amazing to think it's survived all these years - the things that little coin has seen... Super cool!

Buried Treasure, Kenny Rogers.... Priceless.

Great finds Si and Cuffs. The Plantagenant coin was amazing, and the anchor is such a great classic shape. I don't know how you found anything in the dark! 😊😄

Hi Si! The anchor is a great find. The forged ring attached to it is an indicator of it's age as that type of ring means the anchor was most likely intended to have hemp rode rather than chain. The shackle that connects the ring to the chain as you found it appears to be a relatively modern adaptation. In my experience these subtleties in anchor design and construction have been used in underwater archaeology to help date and identify wrecks that are associated with particular anchors.

What a spectacular find that anchor was.

Awe Nellie and his feather was so cute! When he dropped it 'Wasn't me guv! you can't prove nufin'!'

its only fitting that I waited until nighttime to watch your night lark. Always follow the chain, you never know where it will lead. I have followed a few in my day, almost always to an anchor ⚓ 😁

The Anchor and Chain is a sweetheart of a find! Great name for a Pub too!

Awesome bottle and it’s complete. That iPhone is crushed. Lovely ginger beer bottle. It was exciting to watch you guys dig out that beautiful anchor and chain, a fantastic find and cleanup. Marvelous little Plantagenet token. Nels looks like he had bird for lunch, 😆.

Wow, beautiful anchor, and I loved hearing someone say... Cooooorr... 😂.. Lol... Been ages since I heard someone say that... Missing England... From Englefield green. Surrey.

Great episode - I always learn something. And thanks for showing your kitty!

Oh, I just love your videos, Simon. By the way, at 16:26, the 10 o'clock position, is a peach colored marble with all those copper nails. I hope you grabbed it.🙏🏼 That anchor is sublime.👌🏼👍🏼 The Thames cast offs are the stuff dreams are made of.🤩🔥 Cheers mate.💚

man made ruby's have that pink colour...that anchor is a beaut...Cuffs seems to have great luck with his finds...great video

Secret lemonade drinker, AND the rinky dink pink Panther? great start to the show…

it's fun to see the night time London, I was lucky enough to come to London and was fasciinated by the difference in one side of the river and the other. we were on a tour so I couldn't explore m uch but my exchange student daughter came in from her town and went on the tours with me. she was from Bristol and London, and a great person. now she is a grown up mum of three boys. the smartest lkgirl.

Amazing story on Mr White!

Muddy madness is right! The anchor and chain segment looks quite sinister! Movie material.

You always find good stuff when Cuffs is with you. The anchor and chain was a great find. Looks fun mudlarking the Thames foreshore at night xxx

Great adventure, Simon! I always love it when Mike (Cuffs) accompanies you, as he has amazing skill or luck. Thanks for the back stories, too.

Awesome findings...love the anchor n the 16ft long chain . Use it for garden decorations. 😍 Enjoy what you love to do. With Love from SAM Guwahati Assam INDIA 🙏🥂

Natural Ruby’s tend to be more pink! Such good finds!!

Simon, you are thee mudlar King!

Love the cool old anchor and the saber tip.

Love that old anchor!

Thank you Si for your entertaining and informative videos. I am constantly screen shooting finds, details and sometimes your repurposing ideas. I live in the middle of Canada and have spent a lifetime here doing pretty much the same things with what we have to find here. But if I was there I would be mudlarking at every opportunity. As it is, six months of the year our ground is buried under snow and frozen to the depth of six foot. Now I am semi retired I have started working on cleaning up my finds and working on how best to display them in our home. A lot of my pieces I have gathered all the info I could on them as they are destined to go to museums upon my passing.I am going to try some new mudlarking ideas here this summer that I have learned on your U Tube channel. Anyways about ten years ago I purchased online three largish boxes of mudlarking finds that was from the estate of a mudlarker that had collected all their life, who they were I have no idea, but the seller claimed all the finds was from the Thames. When I received it, all the silver that likely was in there was picked over, but what I really was after was there. Just odds and ends or bits and bobs if you prefer. This winter I started to finish cleaning what was there and what I found under the final dirt coating is amazing. It has given me days of fun researching. Every time I go through the boxes something new catches my eye. And as I am learning so much on your channel I know more about what I’m looking at. It sure is one thing to have a whole item in your hand and quite another the figure out what a bit of something is. A word to all the mudlarker’s out there, never discard anything you pick until you thoroughly clean them and follow up on any numbers or letters or shapes that become visible. It is easier to throw them out at home rather than go back to look for them when you realize what you left behind. Anyhow I will close with letting you know one piece in my pile was a flattened out and caked with dried mud Viking Chape. There were many more other things especially ten hammered coins that were utterly invisible except for shape, under a coating of black smooth clay. Today I was looking at what appeared to be a three hole button but I spotted four sections that had three letters each. It was a clipped silver half crown from around 1672, of course the silver was black which explains how it was missed by the estate family. Anyways this is a good lesson for those of you that have the privilege to mudlark on the Thames. Make that privilege count.

Those curved ship nails ought to be collected!!! Someone would love to buy them as a set online, along with seeing thee video! And yes, GREAT token!! May I suggest you add a very small label to its underside informing that the label is a decorative artist's conception of an original, or whatever.

Smashing anchor, Si - you do manage to snag 'em.

Love The Plantagenets x👑🇬🇧🇬🇧👑

Found smthng big~ anchor, and tiny~bead! Lots of goodies inbetween! :-)xo

The anchor was a nice find and Cuff’s coin was very interesting. I was afraid you would taste that ginger beer (like the bottle dump lemonade) so glad you thought better of it.

Looks like your kitty had a good breakfast.

The little pink gem could easily be a pink ruby. Its shade isn't out of line for the stone. I wouldn't be surprised if with the anchor and all the nails, that you would find a destroyed boat there somewhere.

Great anchor and Cuffs is a good mudventure partner. Great teamwork. Nelly is a lovely cat. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ when you show the closeups of the tiny things I almost want to ask for a spadeful to be sent until I make it down the Thames lol.

Love Nellie.Funny she dropped the feather when you asked what she had in her mouth.

Si! you and Cuffs always have special mud-ventures together, so much fun being a bystander to them! Congrats on the token, the sabel cuff and the anchor!! Great finds across the centuries - The Thames hiding some wild secrets! hello from Denmark 🌸❄

Love the anchor, thought you may have to leave it behind for a while there, or get the bolt cutters out! Percy Verence is a patient guy

I know you love anchors ... congrats Si !

Love the anchor !! the background to it so interesting. Always a pleasure every Sunday to see what you've found. Thanks for sharing .

The very pink stone could be an early (1900) lab-created ruby. I have some early earrings 9f this type and the stones are bright pink.

Awesome finds!! I imagine your wife saying “ANOTHER anchor Simon? Where will we put it?!” 😂😂

For your "Kaola" label, you should wax it with clear wax then dark wax to make it 'age'. You add the clear wax first so that you can remove any dark wax that's too heavy.

WOW brute force to get an anchor, WOW, so cool

Cannot believe you have found Nicola whites anchor 😂 it’s a long way from home. Great video as usual 👍

an anchor was the first thing i thought of when you said you won't beleve whats on the end of this old chain. .😂😂

I am a little disappointed you didn't take a sip 😂😂well worth the trip, I do wonder what people think when you walk through London carrying an anchor and 16ft chain 💪 Nice one Si and Cuffs 👍

Brilliant! I love Sundays. The anchor is amazing, great finds this week x

That is awesome I love that anchor story story great finds there young man enjoyed it especially at night time such fun👍🥃🥰

Wow! well done with the anchor. As you were heaving away to free the beast I found myself holding my breath and pulling with you! Did it help? Haha! Well done cuffs for the Plantagenet token. Thanks a lot for today's adventure.

Love your videos I think it’s a A ruby. I love when you find stones hope your keeping them for a rainy day. Never know might find a cool peace of jewellery. And you can add the stones. I wish I could mud lark like you guys who knows might win a crap load of money I can fly over and join you guys one day.

Lots of neat finds there at the Thames river. Nice anchor find and I think Nelly approves. Thanks for another great video.

I love your kitty 🐱 Nelson!

Loved this SI ❤ the kitty 😺

Keeps pulling finds boat 😀

Wow...that token is amazing! I have always looked at coins/ tokens from that time period in books when I was a kid collecting coins with my dad......

What a fun evening lark. You & Cuffs found some great things.❤️⚓️👣

Mud lover and a cat lover. Awesome

I love seeing your pretty kitty friend . Every home should have one .

Cracking Great Finds Fellas! Its Sunday and good day to dust off the metal detector! Thanks for the inspiration. The only night metal detecting I did was as a kid In places I couldn't get permission!

The Plantagenet era coin was probably issued between 1150 & 1480. Amazing

I’m thinking its a ruby that has been beat up by the rocks, like how sea glass gets cloudy and changes color. That’s what i choose to believe anyway because ruby is my birthstone and I think that is a fantastic find. Fun hunt!

Rubies can be on the pinkish side of things. Also, the glass know looks like the end of a decorative glassmaker's project. The bit that is left on the end that would be cut off and discarded.

The Southern Eastern Asian rubies have exactly that pink colour!!!! I had bought quite a few them, years ago when I was going there more often.

Great anchor! Perfect wall piece, not too big. Entertaining and informative, as ever. Thanks!

You found a W and an ⚓️ 😂

This is a dumb question but is cuff your brother, you guys look so much a like 😃

Another cracking visit for you both

What a fabulous anchor. You are getting quite a collection, Si. Good job.😀

Another great video. The anchor is really cool as well as Cuff's token . Loved the bottle with the stopper still in it . Can't wait to see what y'all find next !

Mud glorious Mud 😉.Trev Barnsley South Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇯🇲.

Great vid mate. It's always a good one with Cuff. And that coin! Ooosh! Loved the bottles too and that anchor! You're the top anchor-larker on these ere shores mister finds! ;)

Rubies are that color. I have one in my wedding band! If that is real it will be quite valuable! It is so pretty! Good finds!

Always follow the yellow brick road 😉😉😉 xxx

Awesome nightlarking finds! Loved the doubled eagle head token/coin, whoa! My favorite is the anchor, many untold stories that go with it. Hope you rescued the copper nails! Great video!

yeah, definitely sword chape. awesome find! that small anchor is sweet! perfect size to take home lol. appropriate nelson coming to see an anchor lol. looks like headlamps at night make some finds easier to spot.

Brilliant finds Simon!!!
