A Drained Reservoir Reveals a Surprising Variety of Ancient & Modern Treasures - with @Sifinds

When a Reservoir constructed in the 1830s is drained there are treasures to be found, and they are not the kind of treasures you might expect! Come with Simon Bourne @Sifinds and myself to see what we find when the Welsh Harp Reservoir in Brent is drained in December 2023!

Nicola! 🤣 “I might have a spare head at home” 🤣

Way to go, and thanks to all the volunteers. You all did a really good thing!

How lovely to see all of you cleaning up the trash. I never will understand the need to litter when a bit of time to carry it home instead of dumping could be utilized to keep up. My mother used to punish us by making us pick up trash in the neighborhood. We learned not to litter and are now stewards of the earth by cleaning litter ourselves. Thanks to mom for her punishment methods. Lol

I love Simon’s sense of humor. What a great addition to your vids!

Hi Nicola - This is Pallavi. I watch your videos sometimes and find them very interesting. I wanted to comment about one of your findings under the bridge. It's a statue of Lord Krishna along with Radha Ji and a cow. In Hinduism, people sometimes place statues that are chipped or no longer worshipped in such locations. Additionally, after certain worship rituals, clay statues are often offered to running water.

We should start a company that makes Hindi river offeings out of fish food. Ganesh figurines made of pressed, freeze dried brine shrimp colored with food coloring.

Awwww thank you for saving the toys. ❤
Si and his puns. 😂 I love the horse galloping coconuts. Love Monty Python.

Thank you, Nicole & and Si, for sharing your finds and cleaning up the resoviar. You 2 give me so much pleasure in watching your great finds, I'm currently unable to walk, but I feel like I'm out there with you having fun.

[paulkinzer]

So much in this one! You and Si bring me joy nearly every Sunday, and I miss you when you don't post (no pressure, though; you have lives to live). But when you are together, it's always extra fun!

[elohailo]

I found it intriguing and interesting that there were so many toys. So very happy that you are going to recycle them!! I enjoy your videos so very much.

Loving this Nicola. Of particular interest to me as my granddad (born 1901) told me a tale about when he and his cousin bunked off school to see Bleriot not long after he had flown the channel (1909). They went to The Welsh Harp to see him. I guess he probably flew into Hendon Airfield. I can now imagine where he and Jessie went, from their home in Hendon.

Thank you so much for cleaning up all that trash and plastic !!

[iamshotty]

It makes my day when I see you together. Love you both so much. When Si did his coconut skit, that song "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" came to mind 🤣 Big hugs to you both xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥

Always love when you and Si get together 💖
