Hi Jeff & Lew, The turkeys will be spending more time in our yard through the winter. They are safe here. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving too! 👋🙂😎👍

@@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat Thanks! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! 👋😃😎🦃🦃

That whitish colored turkey is called a "smoke-phase" so we named it "Smokey". I told Drew "If Smokey is a female, and a male mates with her... He will be "on top of Old Smokey"" 🤣

@@massriverpickers 🤣😂💖x

Happy Thanksgiving Susan! 👋😃😎🦃🐿️🥧♥️

It is a "smoke-phase" wild turkey. A first for us! We named it "Smokey" of course! 😁😄🦃🦃🦃🍁🍂

😄😁 Haha Happy Thanksgiving Angela!

We had 28 tukeys this morning. They flock together for the winter months. We have had 40+ some years!! 🦃🦃🦃🦃

😄 That's ok. You are forgiven. We're just glad those turkeys didn't know what we were doing/eating in here! 🦃🍗

Did you check the woods? (Did you get our email?)

@ No e-mail ? You’re my only VIP so I doubt I trashed it. Indeed, Huntress I did check the woods about three years ago when they first bought the property. The story is too long for the comment section. I will send you guys an email. 💕🎅💕🎅💕🎅💕🎅💕

@Luciddreamer007 and I will resend our reply to your last email.

@@massriverpickers Oh that one lol ( I don’t get out much ) 😂….. I think I got it but I’m 63 now I’ve got a lot going on right now. I just got a job.!! The house is not selling 👎

Aw, Thank you Judy! 🙂😁♥️

Yes, they know they are safe here, (and the food is good). We ALL ate well, turkeys and squirrels included! 🥧🥜🐿️🦃

Happy Thanksgiving Cynthia! 👋😃😎🦃

@@historylooker7Thanks! 👋😃😎👍

@massriverpickers Y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving !! 🦃 🍗

I still have trouble understanding Drew! (Staten Island accent) 😂

@@massriverpickers lmao 😂

@@sarahdee11 Hi Sarah!👋😃 Thanks for your input on the music. Some people love it, others say it's terrible. I'm trying to find a balance. Personally, I do not like long silences in the video, so that is where I am currently putting the music. Anyway, glad you enjoyed the marble hunt! Part 2 of this hunt is up now (if you haven't seen it already). 😁💖

@massriverpickers it was great, and it had more music! Noticed you played it for the "top" finds 😁

Thank you... It was a great day for marbles! That insulator is, I believe, post 1930 actually?? 🤔 Not as old as others we find, but more scarce and desirable! We had only found broken ones before. Our "fun" will be winding down soon, but I have LOTS of videos to edit!! I don't know if I will ever catch up! 😬 I will be alternating more Bottle hunts, marble hunts, beach digs, flea market etc. The order will be random. Mixing it up a bit. It was a great season! Thanks always for watching and commenting! 👋😃😎👍

Hi There! 👋😃 How are you? We found so many marbles this trip cuz it had been months since we'd been there. Our season is winding down here... Days are short, and the water is COLD! We may still head out to the beach on a mild day though. Have you been out lately? 💖

@@massriverpickers Hey there! I'm just fine. ; ) Funny- the difference between river hunting and shore hunting. They're opposites, I think. Up here, the 'season' is in full swing. Seldom went out in summer (algae, sluggish tides). Been out several times- a nice r,w +b cleary swirl and a clay. And a die and a faceted black glass button as well as pipe stems. Found a bottle+ dump right down my lane- and found a nice mch made cobalt blue poison and chucky glass inkwell which would have had a silver insert w/ hinged lid for the ink. For me, that's banner. Yay! 💖

😁💖

Hello Maria! 👋😃 Good to hear from you again! How is the weather in Greece? Yes, "going home" is hard to do when hunting marbles. 😄 I often refuse to go home until I find at least one marble! And then, of course "I can't go home now... I'm finding marbles!" 🤣 Drew is definitely more of a bottle person, but he found the best marble this time!! We are both doing well, although Drew's new retirement this year has us both exhausted! But winter is coming, so maybe we will get some rest. I have plenty of videos to get us through to spring. Best to you! -Cathy😁😎👍

Dear Cathy hello! So glad to see you and read your good news! But even in winter time beeing close to the sea or the river I believe it's one of the most beautiful and revival situation one can be. You know by seeing you on that boat on the river or in the river I feel so happy ! The scenery is magical in a way! We don't have these kind of rivers here on the island. Thank you both for these special moments you share with us! Good retirement Drew with health and many happy moments! Take care both of you! ❤ Maria

Thank you so much Maria! We have just celebrated Thanksgiving this week. We posted a video of our "guests" (wild turkeys!) Here is the link (if you did not see the video). th-cam.com/video/oRhcvkobXzo/w-d-xo.html

@@massriverpickers ❤️🌲🙏

Thank you! Nice to hear from you! 👋😃 That insulator was a surprise (that it was whole). It is not a common one around here. That river is always good for marbles, but not always accessable. We go whenever the water is low enough. Glad you enjoyed the video. -Cathy💖

@@Gloria-qy3dd Hi Gloria! 👋😃 I also have a few Prince M perfume bottles, in my collection. Funny you still remember that bottle from 60 years ago! (But I remember, and still have bottles I dug 40 years ago... Sigh. Where did the time go?) Thanks for commenting! So interesting to hear memories from our viewers! 💖

@@amandabell8827 All is well, (as I still am adjusting to shorter days, and too much to do 🙄) I am all messed up (4:45am here, and I am just now going to bed!) I don't do as well in the off season. Anyway, yes, that was a fairly rare and desirable insulator! We have found broken ones, but never a whole one. Not sure where it will go?? 😬 Marbles are small, so there's always room for more marbles!! Drew's marble find is amazing!! I love older swirl marbles because they are one of a kind (pattern) and this seafoam color is unusual!! (And it GLOWS😍) Not sure when the next vid will go up.. I am working on a bottle show, then will go back to river hunts. Hope all is well with you too! 💖

@@massriverpickers All good here 😁Yay, another bottle show! I love watching them and listening to all the chatting in the background as well as seeing what you buy. Looking forward to that! Sleep well 😁💖x

Hi Amanda, I am remembering that you don't have Thanksgiving over there..🤔 Hope you had a nice Thursday! 😄 I out up a short turkey vid, but that will be all this week, as I was too busy cooking and baking for the holiday. 🥧🍗 Hopefully have the bottle show vid done for next weekend. 💖

@@massriverpickers I will have a look for the video. I had a nice Thursday lol. Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving! 😀🦃💖 xxx

Thank you! Not many bottle in this particular river, but it's great for marbles! And occasionally insulators... This was a good one! -Cathy 😃

Hi Jeff & Lew, That insulator is a scarce one, and the glaze is a beautiful color... Not just that dark brown of most large porcelain insulators. Plus it has a picture of the insulator debossed on it! Drew's marble is the best of the year, I think. It will be tough to top that one. It's on beautiful condition too. It must have been protected on mud, and not played with. Glad you enjoyed Part 2. I will be working on a bottle show vid next. (Coventry CT) Take care, Cathy (& Drew)

@@ellyntallon2255 You can check out my marble show & tell vids, to start with. Here are some links th-cam.com/video/OjJvqVz0OpE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/I7IpLSQ3zis/w-d-xo.html The marbles in this river are mostly vintage machine-made 1930s-1950s (Alley Agate, Akro, Peltier, Vitro, etc) Occasionally an older or newer one. Cat's eyes are more modern. Clays are mid 1800's - 1920 or so. I will try to be mindful to mention ages in future videos.. but most of the marbles we find in the river are 1930s-1950s, as that is the time period trash was dumped there. I hope this helps. -Cathy💖

Hi Cynthia 👋😃😎, That insulator was a shocker, because we have been to that spot many times, and did not see it before. It must have rolled downstream from somewhere when high water came rushing through some months ago. It is the most complete one of this type we have ever found. Neat that it has an image of an insulator debossed on the insulator! But Drew's marble of the day is amazing!! I have yet to post it on a marble forum, for more opinions (aside from just "WV swirl") I do not recognize that seafoam green color swirl. Glad that THAT marble is in top condition! That is all we ever really hope for, is one really great marble per trip. That one was a "month maker" Lol Possibly marble of the year! (And it GLOWS 😍) Thanks Cynthia! 💖

Thanks Angela! 😁♥️😎👍

Yup, Drew found the marble of the year (probably). I need to post it on a forum for more opinions... I do not recognize that color (seafoam?) swirl. And in beautiful condition! I posted close-up pix on the community page. So glad Drew saw that one!! It's tough now, with all the leaf litter. 🍁🍂
