“It’s all bent and cracked, but aren’t we all.” Best line ever!
The poetry of a dead leaf spinning from a strand of spider silk.🍁🍃🌾
Oh yes, that was amazing ! I could watch that forever. You're a very talented photogragher ! wonderfully talented.
I just had a good idea for something for your Etsy shop! You should do Mystery Boxes filled with things you have an abundance of or things you find quite often and you could do like a 10 item box, 20 item box and so on! That would be so fun for your viewers who live places where they can’t go to old Victorian bumps! Much love from Toronto Canada❤️❤️
Great idea!!
Absolutely
Legend has it that the rare Alexandra can be lured with gifts of small beads and tiny doll parts. Under no circumstances do you present her with a Thomas White pipe bowl however or she will flee, never to be seen again.
Ever since you guys did the Q&A and said people told you to slow down your driving at the beginning of the video when it's in fast forward it makes me laugh that some people actually thought you were driving that fast.
🚗
Haha really??
On the wrong side of the road too!
I took a video of the sea when we were driving along the coast here in Florida ,People commented at how fast we were going ,but my husband was driving below the limit ,lt looked like we were racing along ,
I never thought they were driving fast ha ha. I always knew it was fast forwarded. I jokingly said one time they should slow down because it was making me really sick or dizzy or something of that sort. I don’t know how many people actually seriously thought they were driving that fast. That would be completely ridiculous
You could say you have been out, "Midden Scratching", the old archeological term for dump digging. You are the best, "Northern Midden Scratcher's", and today's adventure was a true delight.
Gail nearly made me keel over laughing with her, "...Alexandra in her natural environment." ha ha ha. I loved it! Look out David Attenborough! You found so many wonderful things and had so much fun, and shared it all with us. You two are truly treasures.
Midden Scratching! I like it!
@@jodivandyk3649 Middens are referred to Aboriginal food preparation sites specifically of shellfish in Australia.
@@carolynrose9522 But they are a long way from Australia..
@@stevecunningham8960 Cultural sensitivity in play
@@carolynrose9522 ... not sure about this cuz we used midden to refer to trash pits in Wyoming (USA) when I was a kid (a loooong time ago!)...
My favourite family of Rubble Snufflers.
Can’t get enough of all the treasures you find. Also loved the shots of the fall foliage you included! The clovers and the little mushrooms made my heart so warm.
Soil surfing springs to mind , I love all your finds and the excitement you show, the history behind the pieces is so interesting, my favourites are the mourning buttons they are so pretty , we need you on daily not once a week lol xx
That’s a good one
As for the bottle fragment with "J. Bouch, Black Bull Hotel, Carlisle, I was only able to find out a little. It was also known as the Black Bull Inn, and it was located on Annetwell Street in Carlisle. Joseph Bouch was innkeeper there in 1907. It was very difficult even finding THAT out. Apparently "The Black Bull" was a very popular name for establishments well before 1907 and even now! If I find out anything else, I'll let you know!
“Here’s Alex in her natural environment, I don’t want to move too fast and startle her”😆 Love watching your videos from Sough Florida in the USA! I do this with my granddaughters in NC. We’ve found a bottle dump and found a lot of bottles. What wonderful memories! We love watching your videos! Thank you! I enjoy these videos so much!
Gail, your narration of the scene with Alex in the wild was so clever and her filming of nature between the finds is my favorite part of the videos, except for the intro, the music, the history of the items, the round up, the creations . . . I'm so looking forward to a Frankenstein doll! Just one more leg? Stay well.
It's the intro music on several other mudlarking sites I can't handle
But noise is my worst enemy
I love your site enough to overlook or mute
When my cocker spaniel gets out in the back yard nosing and digging around in the dirt, I call it "Truffling"!
That one rust stained "arm" looks to me much more like the leg of a cat or dog. Not sure how common it was for porcelain animals with moveable limbs, though. But it sure looks like a leg of a cat or dog, and more like a paw than a hand. ^^ What great finds :D Great place you found there. Must go back and make more videos there. So cool that so many finds were intact --well mostly haha.
I came looking for the message that says what you did! Of course it is! 😄 🐕
Definitely! I immediately thought it was a little dog leg
I also thought , dog or cat leg.
Always look forward to you lady's on Sunday! You never disappoint, so relaxing. :)
Same Here!!
I weep for the future mudlarks. Just imagine scratching through our rubbish dumps😩 I’m so glad TH-cam recommended you both👍🏻❤️
just before Gail put on her naturalist's voice to describe The Alex i had been thinking of gorillas in the jungle!! so funny 😊
On my bucket list for many years has been a trip to Scotland. Now, after following the Northern mudlarks for over a year, my supreme bucket list wish would be to go sea glass hunting or bottle dump digging with you guys! 😉 you make my day! I love watching your videos!
Now if they could get David Attenborough to narrate the Alex segment!

What beautiful and interesting finds! I loved Gail’s commentary on Alex being in her natural surroundings ❤️❤️💕💗🤣❤️
What lovely finds! Thankyou for showing us. Delightful video. Particularly enjoyed this one. It seemed to have an extra spoonful of joy in it.
Hello! My name is Audrey and I’m writing from the U.S. When I first stumbled upon your videos about a month ago I had never heard of mudlarking. I began to watch your videos with great interest because I enjoy finding “treasures” myself. When I get to travel to a beach one of my favorite things to do is search for seashells. It’s extremely calming to me. When I’m home and the season is right I enjoy hunting for arrowheads and other Native American artifacts in the fields. I guess I’m not unlike you ladies as I enjoy the hunt and the excitement! When I began watching your channel I couldn’t help but binge watch 😊 now I await each new addition to your video collection. You ladies have a fascinating life and a wonderful relationship and I think that is an absolute blessing. Your talents are amazing! That being said you two make me nervous sometimes when searching without protective gloves on. I’m so afraid you are going to get cut or stuck by something and get hurt. Either way I will still be tuning in to see your latest adventures. I enjoy seeing the beautiful land and seascapes where you are. I have never been to that part of the world. Thank you for sharing and bringing us along on your adventures!
I know, I feel the same way, afraid that something will bite or sting them, or they might get jabbed or cut.
That one arm looks like a dog leg to me. Great video thanks for sharing!
Oh the poor dolls, I could hear them calling out " my wig has flown , my head is bald ".
Great, loved it all . Thank you
I have probably said this before but BEST VIDEO EVER! You found all the things that I love, the buttons, pipes and bits of old dolls! I was actually saying wow and oh my gosh at the screen lol. I loved the David Attenborough skit 😂 hilarious! This is one I will definitely watch again and again. Thank you Ladies x
I feel like the doll's heads and bodies even though we cannot hear them are rejoicing that they have been found and have another chance at life!
Love watching you and your mom looking for stuff,
I haven't read the other comments yet...someone may have come up with something far better already, but how about Treasure Foraging. Thank you for all your great videos. They are a treasure in of themselves! :-D
I see and feel so much love between you two xx It's so special what you have.
I like the word Noodling.. although it's not meant for what you are doing. But you would be going through rejected stuff still. "Noodling: The practice of sifting through rejected mullock heaps for small pieces of precious opal inadvertently discarded by the miners. A number of people on the opal fields rely entirely on noodling for a living.
Would love to see a tour of how you store all your finds....or just a general collection tour!!
I think that "schwooing" would be an apt name for you ladies.
viewer reply...I think SCHWOOING is perfect and tailored to the Northern Mudlarkers. I'm just saying
You had a lovely day seeking out treasures in that woods. I was pleased when Alex started using a tool for raking the leaves instead of her hands, with all the broken glass. Was interesting to see the history behind many of your finds. Lovely video thank you
Dumpscavation
Treasure Troweling
Good one
“ And here we observe an ALEXANDRA in her natural environment. I’ll try not to startle her .” Hahahahaha , that’s very humorous Gail !! Bye the way, could you explain what type of game the knuckle ones were used for ?
That button is so so gorgeous!! It would make a beautiful pendant!
I just love how you both find little bits of whole things and make them cherished again!
Scavengerlarkers. No matter what you choose I'll be there to cheer you on. Each time I watch I wish I was with you.
How about 'dirt skimming' ? I always get such a laugh when Alex finds doll parts. Her excitement is infectious ! :)
The excitement; as Alex, the dump scratcher, discovers she has two arms, a leg and a head!
i always love how alex's reactions on the intro... shes always excited to start finding😊 i love you both❤️❤️ all the way from the philippines
I love that Gail reassures me that we are all little bent and cracked. Amazing!
wait... 36:28 ... cut out the Ears and Mount them on Rings .... Ear Rings! Tada! ;-) ;-)
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Chicken Scratch
Chicken Scratching
Scraping the dump = "Scrumping" 😊
I like to think “larking” is the searching part of the term. So you can have mud larking, sand larking (for beach combing) and dump larking.
Hahaha "What's this ear then?!" 🤣
I think the little bottles would be lovely filled with small bits of colored glass and a small LED light inside, making a string for a tree or window.
What a great dump site and so many finds. Loved the alley gobs and dolls head. Josie and I are so impressed how you produce the longer videos with such quality editing. 👌
Thank you! It's hard work but we love what we do - a full time job these days xx
I want to say how beautiful your photography is Alex....the little leaf twisting in the wind on a spider thread was magical😌
‘Scratching’is a good name
Or schwooing.....
"It's a bit bent... and cracked, but aren't we all?"
It's a bit bent, and cracked, but aren't we all. Hahahaha Yes we are!
I think that clear bottle top would make a brilliant hot air balloon Christmas ornament! Such a lovely video. Thank you Gail and Alex!
Definitely worthy of a second trip back
And here we have an Alexandra in her natural environment don't want move to fast and startle her..... I spit my hot cocoa... I love the sense of humour you both have!!!! And yes I am binge watching again because I just love you ladies! Always enjoyable and funny!!!
I just love your video's you gals see the beauty in the smallest little things. Love it!💝
"bit bent, and cracked...but aren´t we all." :D indeed. indeed.
I love the history you provide about pieces you find,& the time it takes,plus the time to clean them up!
Another wonderful video. You are inspiring. Thanks for keeping us entertained in trying times.
Just stumbled across your videos. Thoroughly enjoying. Either I haven't seen yet or perhaps you haven't made them but would love to see more on what you do with your found treasures. I'm a reclaim/ repurpose artist and my inspiration is going crazy with your finds.
Call me creepy, but you could give the doll head hair again from a lock of Alex's hair. 😁
Peck and scratching.
Those pottery stoppers would be cool toadstool or mushrooms for a fairy garden
Wonderful video and finds Ladies, you are such a joy to watch. Thank you.
Knuckle bones would be a cool key chain , necklace
I knew the stopper said Holbrook as soon as I saw it as my great Grandmother was Ellen Holbrook. I also have family in Australia so I wonder if we are linked to them somehow!?
Hmmm 🤔 I think a suitable name for this type of mudlarking would maybe be Leaf Larking as it’s scratting about amongst the leaves!
Love the toy “Jacks”. Where I’m from they’re called snobs and it was a game I loved to play as a child in primary school although ours were made from some very hard type of coloured chalk back then. I always love to find old toys too as it’s a part of us that we never really acknowledge, but our inner child is in all of us ❤️
In Australia they call it “noodling” when you just are finding rocks on the surface of the dirt and not really digging. I say noodling now a lot, because it’s fun.
In the US, noodling is a term used in the South for catching catfish with your bare hands out from the "caves" they build in the waters banks. I prefer to do your type of noodling. ;)
Yeah I was going to suggest dump noodling now I don't have to explain it, thanks!
Been noodling for many years on professional miners dumps at Grawin and Lightning Ridge for OPALS!! great fun and rewarding.
@@lanehorsey5053 my hearts desire is to come to Australia and visit an opal mine. Such beautiful gems! ;)
@@lanehorsey5053 my grandparents had a claim at Andamooka a few years back. They used to go there every winter for many many years to ‘noodle’ and mine. When I was a kid we went there too for holidays to visit them. We live in Tassie and enjoy beach combing and living vicariously through these wonderful mudlarks!
How about dump skimming? 😊 great finds!! ♥️
it's so cool that you can just lookdown and find lots of cool treasures!
Some awesome finds ladies! What a little treasure field!! That little arm that has the staining on it looks like a cats front arm to me! I look forward to your next video, keep safe & well! 👍🇦🇺🌻💕
Thank you, lovely Vlog.☮️🇨🇦
Beautifully done. Very soothing to watch 😊🌸🌸
Scratching the Surface is a good name
that one arm you found looks more like an animal leg
Two totally different doll heads. Both lovely 😊
Hi girls. Gail it was so funny when you were stocking Alex. She be a wild untamed scratcher woman. Xo
Love coming home from church, relaxing Sunday afternoon and going treasure hunting with you both. Enjoyable, relaxing & fun. Thanks from California.
Perhaps you could refer to your scavenging as "magpie". I'm not sure if you would have to say "magpie-ing"...or "going to magpie"...lol. Wonderful finds this episode, especially considering the ground cover. As always, love the show and GOOD LUCK!
"It's a it bend...and cracked....but aren't we all?" :D
Surfing the bottle dump
Lovely video once again. I truly enjoy watching you troweling for treasure. The joy you have when you find something beautiful.
Treasure troweling
Scratching the surface
We used to call it Fossicking, or maybe you could call it bottle grubbing. Or making up new phrase, maybe boodle-doodling. Loved watching this as always, these vids are very well put together.
Hello ladies. I just had to tell you I thought of you yesterday. I found treasure on the beach of my local state park. Granted it was only a plastic bead and a fishing lure but I got a giggle out of seeing that bead. ❣️
You find little treasures, so you are both “ Treasure Tracking “ 💖💖🤗
You are so beautiful to watch and see your excited experience at finding these simple old treasures,I get joy from it lady's,thanks.
Loving the five stones and your bead string is growing very nicely! So many awesome finds again :)
What does Northern Mudlarks, and a camera have in common?............................You make me smile.
You are getting close to 50k subscribers! So proud of you! xxx
I LOOOVE the idea of using your own hair for the doll heads ! ❤😍❤
I have meant to let you know I was so inspired by your channel when we went to Brora during the summer I took our foster kids down to the beach looking off sea glass. So keep up the great work xox
That is awesome! xx
The first little arm Alex found looks like an animal paw
Quite a bit of an exciting hunt. I immediately thought of “dump skimming” for such an activity. Or “hillside skimming”. 🙂 The mourning buttons are always beautiful. I was happy to have found one small one.
I like the term "GLEANING THE SURFACE"
..AWESOME...the buttons are my fave ❣You two ladies and Kit and cabootlers are my favourites❣❣❣
Man.. this is gonna be a good one i can tell!
Please make some jewelry for your Etsy with the French jet. I would love that!
Squirrelling
If an area has been mined for bottles you are sifting through the mine tailings (tailings are what we call the displaced soil from old gold mines here in New Zealand), so that is another set of words for youto juggle with. Love the channel and the treasures.
Smashing video, we alway enjoy😊
your videos are always so relaxing and fun and inspiring! keep doing what you do!
also, i don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see a collection video of all of your finds together or however you keep them stored. :)
I loved your tip about when you see ash or charred wood that it is evidence of a dump....I have found areas like this in woods in America...I am going to pay attention to them from now on...thanks. (this dump looked like so much fun...I sure wish I could be there ...how much fun)
it's called SCRATTING!! my dad used to say that's what we wer doing when I was a little girl digging bottles with him and we were on the surface ❤️ that was 45 years ago and I'm still SCRATTING now 😂
