I found my torpedo bottle in a charity shop for £1, I don't think they knew what it was 🤣

Simon you deserve your own TV programme.,no doubt whatsoever!!

You put so much thought and effort into the development of this video! Well done, sir. A pleasure to watch.

Thanks so much Doug 👍🏻🐾🧡

The bust of Queen Victoria reminded me of the book and movie "The Mudlark" -- so, like the young mudlark in the movie, you have met up with the queen herself!!!

For find #1 -- looking at your "boat" made me think of the great quote from the movie Jaws: “You're gonna need a bigger boat” 🙂

It’s amazing how the Roman coins are so well preserved.

Right!

The bronze bust of Victoria is my favorite...just so random, rare and I'm so glad it is yours! Well deserved, Simon! Thank you for all the wonderful video's and sharing your amazing experiences....I enjoyed my mudlarking experience this past September...14 wonderful days in London and several visits to the foreshore...meeting Nicola, Tobias and Marie and Jason at Waterman's Hall was just so so special. A dream come true. Blessings in 2023 and excited for more of your discoveries....WHO KNOWS WHAT'S IN STORE!

I can't believe how good that bike lamp came out mate. Very cool! Here's to many more amazing finds in '23

The lamp is amazingly restored. Only Si could do this as he's so experienced and takes such loving care with this amazing history. I love this whole video. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I can't believe how many I missed. May 2023 bring even more spectacular finds. I love you, Si. Keep your keen eyes zeroing in.

Agreed. I loved the illumination--it was dreamy.

Great reaction from Jules after casting his eyes on the bust of queen Victoria lol. Priceless!

My face hurts from smiling so much! What an amazing year you had! ❤ Predictions for 2023 - you’re going to find a gold coin really soon. In the summer, you will find an onion bottle (not sure where, but I have a feeling you’ll be a long way from home) and after the harvest… a hoard awaits you!

Nice collection of finds in 2022! Congratulations! Just got back to your videos recently, have been hospitalized for three months. I fell and injured my right leg, and while in the hospital, caught Covid 19. No internet in the places in attendance. Glad to be back following again, Si. Best of luck in 2023, and see you on the next. Cheers mate! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸

Thanks for the video, the cap badge you found from the Rifle Brigade, In 1958, it transferred from the Light Infantry Brigade to the Green Jackets Brigade becoming 3RGJ in 1966 along with 2RGJ The King’s Royal Rifle Corps ( the regiment I served in back in the 70`s) and 1RGJ The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, It continued in British Army service until 2007, when it was amalgamated with three other units to form The Rifles.

Good thing you discovered the cannonball on a hovercraft trip, not when you were out on Rob's tiny boat. I'm looking forward to all the great finds of 2023. Thanks for all the great content, Si. Happy New Year.

Boar War cap badge and bicycle lamp my personal favourites Si. I’m physically unable to detect or lark so thanks for providing me with a Sunday fix this year. All the best for 2023.

Thank you for this absolutely lovely video, Simon! It is extremely well-produced and edited and the finds are wonderful, too! Happy New Year, mate, and here's to a year of good health, happiness, and many mudventures in 2023.

My favorite KZread channel - absolutely excellent 🎉❤😊

Thanks Si for all the excitement,passion and history knowledge you deliver every video. The best of Utube. Thank you 😊

My favorite, hands down, is the bust of Queen Victoria. It is so London.

For each one of these videos I watch, I am learning about our own history. Thank you so very much

Queen V has to be the most iconic British item you've ever pulled out of the mud. Here's to even more exiting finds in 2023! 🍺💛

Wow that is some bust! and the statue of Queen Victoria ain't bad either!

I must agree Si, these are truly the best mudlarking finds of 2022

Thank you for all of your fabulous videos that you put out last year! I loved them all, whether it was the mudlarking, the metal detecting, the group dump site excavations or the Hovercraft History Hunters. I have to say, I loved the bust of Queen Victoria! Imagine seeing her in real life! She looked like a formidable woman, quite unlike Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth the second who looked sweet and grandmother my to me. I just love watching you, Simon and I've enjoyed getting to take part in your adventures and getting to know all of your mudlarking, metal detecting, bottle digging, hover crafting friends. Here's to a fantastic 2023 with many, many excellent finds!

OMG, that lamp was gorgeous!!! Very lucky find indeed!

Thank you for all your videos. Glad that a cat made it into the video. Happy new year!!!

Happy, happy new year Si! Thanks for reliving the joy of those finds with us! 🥰 I watched all those episodes and it was great seeing how much I had enjoyed them..hahaha!! All the best for 2023 and of course, more epic finds! 🍻😉👌🏼 Edit: Awesome editing, by the way.. loved it!

I loved that run down of your Top Ten finds in 2022. I wonder what treasures Old Father Thames will serve up to you in 2023? Happy New Year and Happy Larking.

Excellent video as always. The cap badge is probably Rifle Brigade from WW1, the reference on the badge to South Africa is because the Regiment gained battle honours during the 2nd Boar War.

😂..... The money shot with the two balls

Great finds, hope 2023 brings you more treasures,Happy New year to you and family

The lamp is stunning!

Ahhh the gentle art of mudlarking! Loved to see the contenders for your top ten finds. I was tossing between the bust of Queen Victoria, the anchor and the tobacco tin for the number one spot. All fabulous finds. All those long hours spent in the rain, wind, gloopy mud and occasional sunshiny day and even night expeditions certainly are worth every minute. Well done team Si!

Thanks for this wonderful round up. Regarding the "wrong" spelling on the trader's token, it's important to remember that spelling was not standardized until relatively recently. It wasn't until Samuel Johnson's landmark 1755 dictionary that any real uniformity emerged in the English language. In many parts of the world spelling wasn't standardized until the 19th and 20th centuries. Also, the education level of most people, especially the 'lower classes' would have been just about nil in the 17th century. People sounded out words, spelt them like they sounded, and everyone else knew what they meant.

Si, it is so much fun to revisit your amazing finds and to see you rank them was just superb. All the best to you in 2023!

Happy New Year Si, 🎉🎊🥳❤ from foggy and wet Ontario Canada

Love Victoria and adore that tin! Congratulations!!!

I love the bicycle light

My pics were in some of the top 10. That torpedo bottle I absolutely loved. I thought the bus of Queen Victoria was an unbelievable find but your number one pic was the right choice. There's nothing like getting one of those boxes. Congrats on such a great year!!😍
