Hi there thank you for your videos, I'm new to your channel, I'd like to ask sometimes you will say ie @8.30 'Oh that's a Hagstone" would you be able to expand on what you it is please?? Yes I could Google it but if like to hear it from you guys, Once again Thank you for your time and videos. 😊😊
❤Love you guys. Thankyou so much for your messages from home ! ☺Bless.
You found some beautifull bits of agate the colours are lovley.but can i just say thank you for the wonderfull views you filmed at the end and the haunting yet lovvley music.i always love the music that you play its very much my taste.please excuse any mistakes awaiting lazer surgery on my eyes. Take care.🌻🌻
@Itz FanaTic Plays a hagstone Is a rock with a hole through it, thought to have magical properties. In the Tales of Percival, Peredur is given a magical stone that allows him to see and kill an invisible creature called the Addanc. In another tale, the hero Owain mab Urien is trapped in the gatehouse of a castle. He is given a stone by a maiden, which turns Owain invisible, allowing him to escape capture.
Yah thanks seen it ,I like anything rocks! have you checked out "The crystal collector" he has a great following on you tube of coarse.
The odd piece of greenish glass that Alex found about 9 minutes in is fulgurite. The charred side is the clue that this blob of sand was hit by lightning, then worn down by river currents. I lived in the lightning capitol of the world and have found several similar pieces on the beach.
WOW! Thank you! I learned something new today! Fascinating!
Me too. Learned a new one. 😁👍
@Deirdre Pasko Thanks, i have found some that look like sand sticks with tiny branches shooting off.
@Centauri I found a very similar piece to the one Alex found about as big as a dinner plate with almost identical black burn marks around the impact, when I turned it over the bottom looked like glass worms going in all directions.
@@dannytorrance9555 that is cool. There are people that spend their time hunting and digging the fresh strikes up. They look like glass trees. Maybe one day I'll find one too
You both have the gift of looking deeper and seeing things others would pass by. Lovely video, thank you 🙂🧡
Absolutely I would never know these stones were so special
Hello from Tucson, AZ. Hope you guys are keeping out of the heat. I am used to the heat, but it seems to be cooler here than a lot of places lately. I just love your videos. Gail, that one big longer rock with all the quarts breaking through reminds me of a baked potato. Thanks four sharing your adventures!❤❤❤
That big reminds me of one of the magic stones they were after in the Indiana Jones movie 🥔
Ha,yeah,those are Shiva Linghams!
I thought it resembled a Hasselback baked potato with all those slashes on top.
I was so excited when you picked up the large rock piece that looks like a work of modern art. I so hoped you were going to take it home. You both find amazing and beautiful things, but that one rock just spoke to me. It's funny how that is. Thank you for the enjoyment you bring with each video.
Goodness me ladies, the imagery and music at the end of this lark were enough to bring out in goose bumps. What a lovely ending to a perfect lark.
Such beautiful finds. Mother earth certainly knows how to make the most wonderful items. With the help of water and time. Those glass pieces you found were so smooth and perfect. Those hag stones, i love. My mum would always pick those up as good luck charms. I still have one or two that she collected when i was very young. Takes me right back to childhood and carefree days on holiday, with my patents and siblings. Such lovely memory's.
The agate pieces you found Alex were very pretty. Loved that swirly one especially. I look forward to seeing what you do with the items you found, some time in the futcher.
I couldn't believe that you found a dolls head. 😆
What an amazing place to lark. Thanks 😊 x
I'm very happy to hear that in the future you will be cutting and polishing and making things out of those beautiful stones I am a mud lark but I'm also a rockhound and I'd love to learn a lot more than I know about lapidary work I can't wait to see it I enjoy your videos always
Mary I am also a rockhound and my name is curtis olson
@@CurtisOlson-s5b hi nice to meet you ☺️
The clips of the sunsets were beautiful, capped off finding those rock treasures.
Those agates are stunning, and so are the other finds! ❤️
Alex, I really love the cinematography and the music. I know it's a lot of work, but the result is amazing. It really reflects the mood from that time of year.
What beautiful river treasures! Congratulations, ladies, on these amazing finds!💖
So nice to see mother and daughter enjoying a wonderful time together! Your voices are so beautiful and calming, and your finds are also really beautiful! Just love your videos! 😊
I love the simplicity of a rock tumbler for polishing up those red jasper pieces. SO pretty!
Love the agate and the hag stones and the beautiful filming of the sunset and the river. Thank you for a lovely adventure.
Hi my husband and I started watching your videos and we enjoy ur treasures. My husband said tht your voice would be perfect as a narrator for a story book . Be safe and ty for sharing. Your fans in the USA.
here is a tip from me if you find brown and sparkly bits on a piece of limestone that is honey calcite,
Beautiful rocks. I love agate and jasper but I have never seen an actual hag stone. And all of the beautiful sea glass and a doll's head. What a beautiful rainy day hunt.
Don't you just love the uk..when it rains. Very refreshing. I hated that 35 to 40 degree weather we had!. Far to hot and uncomfortable but when we get the 18 degree with rain. Its so nice! Everywhere looks so pretty. Grass looks so green instead of looking like straw. A the pebbles etc show up so.pretty like your videos. We are very lucky in the uk. Unfortunately not many people who live here can appreciate what we have !
We're in California and they holler "environment" all the time , yet allow mining, uncontrolled building, overcrowding, more road, more cars, theres not a speck of environment without trash or buildings! I love these videos, like looking at heaven!
@@juneyshu6197 the uk can be a beautiful place. So much beauty that looks like heaven but there are also places that look like concrete jungles. I guess the same as anywhere!
I absolutely love it when you go rock larking or as we here in Kansas would say rock hound hunting! Almost every stone is beautiful when it is cut and polished. My Dad made jewelry, windchimes and other beautiful things out of rocks he cut, ground and polished! I wish I had his equipment, I do had lots of his rocks though! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
My goodness, those scenes towards the end where you have this evening sky are the most beautiful ones I think I've ever seen. And that haunting music that was played with it it was almost like a religious experience. Thank you so much for that. CL
I so enjoyed your lark for Jasper! Beautiful stones, of all sorts, you brought home!!
Stunning photography absolutely fabulous soundtrack 👌 thank you
Hi Alex and Gail! ( : You two never fail to make me smile. Ladies! Thank you sooo much for all the wonderful content and cool finds, as always. I needed a lift and you two never fail to deliver!
What cool pieces of stone, agate, and a Georgian ledge! I loved the haunting melody you played after finding the ledge and accompanying the sunset signaling the end of a successful hunt! ( : You guys found the most beautiful pieces of natural stones! The agates you found were gorgeous, just like the finders! ( : Beautiful inside and out! ( :
Lovely scenery, lovely finds, lovely sunset and lovely ladies. Thank you for sharing.
What an amazingly beautiful and atmospheric location.
Those rocks would be wonderful for painting on!! They are so smooth.
Wow that sunset was absolutely gorgeous.
Beautiful finds, beautiful scenery, and beautiful music, too! Thank you!
I love seeing the rocks from across the pond!
My mother and I used to do a lot of agate hunting around the Willamette river over here in Oregon, USA. Her trick to finding them was to have the sun glint through the agates by standing opposite the sun. I am still amazed to think of what it took for the planet to create such wonders and the vast variety of mixtures that can be found in even the smallest of stones. What a backdrop for your hunt, a castle in the background is probably just normal for you, like the fawns in my yard, I get used to them until I read the comments that people leave.🤗🥰
I used to hunt for agates as a child growing up in Minnesota and South Dakota. I couldn’t walk a gravel road without looking for agates. We also has a rock polishing tumbler and I loved seeing them polished. This was so fun for me to watch!
I love your filming techniques, lovely job.
What a beautiful magical place! A castle and river with all those finds. Lovely lovely area!!!
i'm so grateful for finding your channel! ive been an avid collector for years but only through purchasing crystals/rocks but since a friend of mine who knows what i'm like gave me a lovely bit of what they thought was a standard but lovely piece of quartz which when cleaned up revealed some amethyst in which sparked a new passion to get out hunting! until then i always assumed here in the UK we didn't have anything other than your average quartz but now through your videos and 'UK gem hunters' i can't wait to get out on my bicycle and back on the 'River taff trail' which runs from Cardiff all the way up to the Brecon beacons but this time to get hunting! i'm so grateful i found your channel! my favourite so far were the Garnets in Scotland but i've got lots more of your videos to watch! thank you from Cardiff! 😊
🇨🇦🍁Thank you for a lovely mudlark today! Beautiful agates great finds! Keep creating! Be safe!! Look forward to next week💕💕☀️🌸🦋🌻🐝
You both had a lot of lovely finds. And, some nice surprises, like the doll’s head…so sweet! The pieces of sea glass were some of the chunkiest and most worn I’ve seen. And, the agates are so pretty in colour and pattern. A great day!
Hello!
I got all excited when you were showing that odd green stone. At first, I thought it might be a beryl or chrysoberyl, but I now think it might be a large botryoidal chalcedony. (Of course, it might also be glass...) I think you should have it checked!
I absolutely loved this. The stones are beautiful. we’ve been collecting few different stones too we found a seal / dolphin tooth other day. it’s amazing love what yous do. It’s so interesting. Hope yous are well and have a great week.
Beautiful video ladies and congratulations to the sea glass winner
So many beautiful rocks. Love the red ones!
Such an amazing adventure! It's too bad you could not bring the big stone with the writing on it home. However, your filming will document it so nicely!
I simply love the videos .So many beautiful rocks,beads and pipes ,and bottles.I love it.And I love you two.From Georgia USA
Love the scenery and the music.
Hello Gail and Alex, what a wonderful video!! I get so excited when a new episode of your wonderful adventures pop up!! ❤️❤️
Great finds! Beautiful agate! Loved the doll head, those worn bottle stoppers, the clay marble and that striped blue and piece of pottery or glass. It was beautiful I can’t imagine what the whole thing looked like. Where y’all able to research and find out anything about it? Also that big rock with the quartz in it that Gail found was cool looking and Alex’s glob of quartz was awesome too! 🥰♥️🥰
It's petrified poop or coporlite
Amazing finds! You went out looking for red agate and went home with all sorts of wonderful things!!! And such stunning scenery!
Hear we go happy days again. There is treasure to be found for all to enjoy. From are Steven from South Elmsall/pontefract Castle. ❣💕👍👍
This was a gorgeous video…the dolls head is my favorite because it has a worn look to it…the agates were out of this world…thank you , Ladies.
Loved seeing your agate finds of course, but the sunset at the end with the mournful music was exquisite ! Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.
Amazing seaglass finds! 💙💙💙
So many beautiful rocks and sea glass just live your videos. Keep mud larking. Can't wait till the next one
Those broken river-glass bottle-stoppers would make lovely pendants because the flat side would lay perfectly against the skin!
Everything was beautiful including the sunset! Enjoy all your journeys.
This whole video was so relaxing 😊
Yaaaaay the girls are on!!!! Thanks for taking us on your adventures!!!
Love the music and photography! Well done💕💕💕💕
Oh i love the gems. My father collected gems, he passed all his rock tools for me along with incut stones.
It was fascinating watching all the different things found.
Loved the sunset video segments at the end. Some nice agate and jasper finds. Thanks for another video.
The mystery rock looks like moss agate. You two find the coolest stuff. Thank you again for taking us along.
You have thee most amazing videos. The sounds, sights and finds are Always So Cool! Thank you both, so much, for keeping this little old lady entertained over here in Western Pennsylvania, USA. 🙂
You two do live in a magical world, one that most of us that watch would love to be where you are. Thank you for the time and fun we have watching you. Susann75
Such amazingly beautiful finds! I love all the river glass especially the big bubble and the half of a stopper. The agates where amazing that large piece you showed cut and polished is gorgeous. I’m also so happy you showed the sheep 🐑 I kept hearing them bah and I thought to myself that I would like to see them and the clip didn’t disappoint. I can’t believe Alex found a dolls head. That piece of banded pottery Gail found that had the light blue layers with the browns and whites was so amazing I would love to see what that originally was but regardless the remaining piece was still exquisite. That location is excellent being on the bend of the river the finds are dropped off on the shore in flooding times. I love it all!
New video!!!
What a perfect end to the day ☺ 👍
Such beautiful finds by the river!
At the beginning of your video, you forgot to say, let's do it! I really love the sea glass, they would look so cool in a glass jar.
What an awesome river, those agates are beautiful! Love the surprise doll head...
I enjoyed your video thank you for sharing all the beautiful stones information have a wonderful weekend 👍👍👍👍🗝️🙂
I loved the sunset shots. So beautiful!!!!
Hello girls, I hope that you two find some amazing agates, so ladies happy hunting, I’m hoping that you two have a good day find for the bucket list
I collect crystals, and love the specimens you’ve collected - especially that red agate with the swirly designs! Also, the sunset you captured was beyond gorgeous ❤️
9:55 such fancy hosiery!
What a magical place!!!
The agates were beautiful but I really liked the big 'bubble' of river glass (8:50) Alex found, it was like a jellyfish, lovely colour.
Awesome treasures ladies, thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous! Another lovely video. I think I like watching you hunt for agates and gems more than bottles and other finds.
Omh guys..i'm happy that both of you find a lot beatiful rocks,river glass,pottery,and doll head 😄. I hope can go there with you guys, but i live so far away..thank you for taking us (virtualy) 😀. Anyway guys keep safe and healthy ❤
I love the piece of agate with the circles in it. It would make an amazing piece of jewellery. Thank you for another fab video. Xx
I’m a beach rockhound around Lake Michigan so it’s always cool to see you two joining in on the fun. Love how you can’t help but still get in some mudlarking finds while you’re at it haha
Greetings from another Lake Michigan rock lover.
Sure do love these ladies and their amazing treasures.
Your videos are always such a joy to watch
That sheep with its black and white is cool.
Absolutely love agates,so this was a terrific adventure to watch!
👍👌👏 Simply gorgeous (the gem stones, glass and especially the Ladies 💚)! ;-)
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Being out in nature must be therapeutic at best. I admire you passion. Thanks for sharing.
Wow a lot of beautiful great finds. :) all I can find is tiny seashells in the lake here. No sea glass or anything like that. Just a couple of dollars I found in the lake when I was a child in 1991. I'm working on a video dedicated to you ladies. But didn't find much shells either like I used too. But I hope you will enjoy it. I will tag you in it. I virtually wanted to lark with you ladies. :)
Those sunset photos are beautiful. Red, like agates.
Another wonderful video ladies. I look forward to seeing these every week.
Beautiful agate, scenery and music. 💗🌷💗🌷
I absolutely have loved rocks forever ♥️ I so enjoyed watching this! I have found agates in northern Michigan where I grew up. Now I live in Washington state and have picked up many rocks here. Thanks so much for sharing this 😊 ❤️
Beautiful finds! I love the dolls head and you found so many beautiful rocks 😊
Beautiful haul, ladies!!!!!!!
What beautiful agates the colors are amazing😲 I really love the jasper and sea glass and of course the doll head and pottery. Thanks for sharing 💜💜💜
Another great video. Thanks to both of you for your efforts.
I want to kayak that river looks amazing
Amazing Finds .From Scotland
Very sweet video today ladies! Very sweet, the music and background a classic! Thank you once again for your gentle calming videos … be well…from California 🌹
Either way I love watching your treasure hunts
Beautiful place 😍
As usual, your video and accompanying music (even the baahs in the background) always bring me joy and peace and, in this case, the excitement of agates! I live on the Washington state coast where we have carnelian agates. It is well worth it to go out in stormy weather to see what the waves wash in, leading to one of my favorite quotes, "There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing." In addition, this video from last October must have been nostalgic with your current heat wave! While much of the US and Europe suffers with heat, we sit at 60 degrees F...or 15 degrees C!
One of my all time favorites.
such pretty finds and that sunset at the end, wow!
Hello Beauties, @1910, the big brick looks like S 7 2. Dont know what it is. I really enjoyed todays adventure looking for Jasper, Agates and river finds. The blue and brown piece that Gail found would make some outstanding jewelry or maybe something in a picture frame. Alex's doll face must have come from upstream. I cant imagine a child would be playing with it where it was found. Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A.
