  2. . The fork mold must be an incredibly rare item. Glenn- They make a liquid chemical you can put on/into wood that stops decay and rot. We used it on the boat we had where the wood was getting a bit soft. It works great and basically hardens the wood like injecting plastic into it. Sorry I can't remember the name of it., as it's been 11+ years ago, and my fiancee passed away.
    The lock and hatchet/axe half would be great give aways. I think the lock is likely to be in restorable shape. I do believe the wheel hub is not from a cannon. The axels were generally larger and much more heavy duty. I think it is more likely from a light trap or carriage, possibly even a dog cart, judging by the size of the axel hole in it, but if the cart or trap used a metal axel, it would handle a lot more weight. A bit too small for the "cannon" axels I have seen too. (Cannon axel used a cannon shaped metal piece that was placed on the end of the wooden axel as a bearing surface. See Aquachiggers videos for the ones he has found here in the U.S.).

  12. Hi ya Peaky Dippers. Great show, thank you. I think it's wonderful that you get to explore all these historic towns while doing your 'hobby', you are so knowledgable & it's always interesting to listen to you. Maybe for your giveaway, now & again, you could offer a lucky subscriber a prize to whoever can guess what the mystery item is/was used for, an item not very common that one of you have found at some point??. Just a thought. It's kind that you are offering to send people items. Anyway, have to chuckle at Marie with her spoons, haha. Which actress is always ready for some ice-cream????????….Reese, with her spoon!!!!!!!!. TAXI :0)

  14. I often spend time trying to work out how and why some of your finds got into the river/canal in the first place. Now I have theory, unlikely but prove me wrong, about some of your Sheffield finds. Criminals had broken into some business premises and tried to blow the door off a safe. They were not clever criminals and used too much explosive. The explosion was so great that the safe door and other wreckage were blown through a wall along with a couple of windows and so sash weights joined the safe door in the river. An adjacent metal working workshop was also severely damaged and hence various bits of cutlery and assorted molds also went into the water.. The noise of the explosion startled a horse that was pulling a cartload a load of files and stuff from the small factory by the bridge. It reared up and this caused one of the cartwheels to collapse and the cart turned over, propelling some of its packets of files into the river.. . . A little boy playing on the bridge was so scared that he dropped his toy gun into the river.

  22. File after file after file, what a b**t**d eh? My family all came from Sheffield during ww2 and settled in Handsworth, B’ham where I was born. I assume that’s the Don you’re fishing. Many years since I’ve been back up there. I love the history you guys pull out of all the places you fish. From memory of all the cuts we went to as kids, one memory stands out – the smell. Tight lines!
