    Is This A Real Rolex? Magnificent Magnet Fishing Near An Ancient Castle in Oxford



    What a magnificent day of magnet fishing with the @PeakyDippers and @Sifinds in Oxford. Imagine my delight when I pulled up my magnet and a Rolex appeared! But is it real?!? All sorts of treasures were found. I was using my new magnet from @BondiTreasureHunter If you would like to buy one too and catch your very own treasures from the murky depths of rivers then use the following code:

      The huge horseshoe could either be for a Clydesdale, or a Suffolk Punch. They weigh about the same, but the Clydesdale is proportioned for pulling drays along reasonably smooth roads and the Suffolk Punch is better at dragging items such as tree-trunks over rough or sticky ground. You could probably plough with either, but forestry workers might have wanted a Suffolk Punch. You can also use Gloucester bulls for ploughing because they enjoy putting a lot of force through their shoulders.

      The exact same thing happened to me Nicola here in Tennessee on my second toss into the river…. magnet, rope and all… I stood there feeling like a idiot then thought screw it and jumped into the river and grabbed the rope… enjoy your videos ty

      Caltrops were re-invented in 1940 for slashing tyres and, basically, each Home Guard detachment got a local garage or blacksmith to make their own version. My grandmother was still keeping a tin of them in her barn in the nineteen-seventies. Those were made of fairly thin steel and quite sharp-edged: the idea was not so much to puncture the tyre as make a long cut in it that would make it too weak to be worth patching-up.

      I really loved the format of this video- perfect blend of live action, banter, historical explanations, and then loved the sort of "walk up to the camera with your find and say what it is" part. My favorite finds were the sign, the poker with the bone inlay, the angle iron (never knew why they were called that and now I do LOL, and nicola's "medieval" find 🤣 And all the keys from the post office. Everyone was so funny and friendly. Gosh I wish I lived somewhere where I could do this with such amazing people. Those cow…horse cavalry thingies were so cool! @sifinds that ladder- I love it. Can you talk about it sometime?
      All of you in todays' video and all the other mudlarks who weren't there today- I follow here, on IG, etc, and it always brightens my day, no matter how hard things are. Thank all of you for what you do, for igniting my love of historical objects, for understanding the love of the hunt, and the thing inside that drives us to look for things that catch our fancies.

      I am so pleased to hear the exhibition will be on for a year. I was planning on coming over during the Totally Thames festival. I have to check when that is. Edited to add: Hahaha! David getting a round of applause from the ducks! Hysterical!

      Watching your video today was just what the doctor ordered…it was like a breath of fresh air for those of us transplanted Brit’s who now live in the u.s. …thank you Nicola et al. Best wishes for more happy finds, Wendy, 👩🏼‍🎨

      We have a Swooning Bridge in Oakham, Rutland, so called because the condemned prisoners would be taken over it on their way to execution. They would faint when they caught their first glimpse of the gallows on Spinney Hill from the bridge. Similar origin to Quaking Bridge?
      Enjoyed the video and learnt a lot as usual!

      You were more relaxed and happy on this lark than I've seen you in awhile. Maybe it was the great company and sunny weather that popped out your big smiles. Stay well, Miss Nicola. Sending you lots of love and hugs from New Mexico USA.
