We are back in the dump for a NEW adventure! Its the first time in nearly a year that we have made it along here and we are so glad we did!
We thought we'd come looking for Victorian era Jam Jars - they really are beautiful things - but we found so much more! A LOT of bottle digging has taken place since we were last here and there is so much to search through! Its a great day for marbles, glass stoppers and a host of odd and wonderful fancy finds... what is the best of the day? We are not sure, but think this old crucible is a very special and RARE find - this dish is an 'assaying crucible' and it was made to be used to determine the value of precious metal in mined ore.
A great deal of mining has taken place in this part of Scotland - in fact, Craig's grandfather worked in the mines here! We're left wondering how this tool was used here - was it used to assay precious metals like gold, silver or platinum? We may have to do some digging to find out! This Battersea Works #3 dish is often associated with gold mining, but we cannot be sure it was used for that purpose here... well, not yet! So we'll have to come back to this in a later video...
For now! Sit back, relax and enjoy an fantastic journey through the historical insights we can get from the things that were left behind by history!
We hope you enjoyed today's video... Thank you so much!

Bow, was für tolle Schätze 😳. Jetzt bin ich richtig neidisch😩 soviele wundervolle Steinguttöpfe, der Hammer. Ja ein ganz toller Tag . Vielen Dank das ihr uns mitgenommen habt und euch ein schönes Wochenende.👍
Oh wir haben uns so gefreut ueber die Schaetze, die die Bottledigger fuer uns liegen gelassen haben :)
Great day in the dump! I saw my favorite object It's the gravy bowl Happy you found so many treasures
Aww the gravy boat - you wonder how these things survive! Bottles are so much thicker and tougher than pottery :)
When Craig said, "Right on the left" I just cracked up. 😆
Sometimes words seem to evade us when we film - we always have a good laugh and can't contain our laughter ;)
Hi Nicole & Craig! ❤
I love that big glass stopper! Super duper finds today. The tiny jam pots are always great finds. So much you can do with them. Thanks for the lovely day out. Great treasure day. 🌹
Thanks so much Sissi! We were so happy to be back at this bottledump and to see a couple of the tiny jam jars too :) You could put brushes in them, tiny succulents etc etc ... I've got a larger one on my desk with pens in it ( and so does Craig actually! ) ...
Well, you found your jam pots how great is that? You also found many other great treasures! The lady with the hat was lovely and the pipe bowl’s were great. I am happy you both enjoyed this day⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Thanks so much Susan! We were so happy to be back at this bottledump and with the treasures the bottlediggers had left behind :)
What a great adventure! Thanks for sharing. Clay pipes are always fun to find.
Thanks so much Sean! We were so happy to be back at this bottledump :)
I am glad to join your wonderful treasure digging. What a great harvest on a variety of types. 👍
Thanks ever so much :) We truly enjoyed being back at this bottledump after nearly 6 months away!!
Hello Nicole and hello Craig. Nice to be Mudlarking with the two of you again. Many, many nice finds. Greetings from the U.S.A.
Thanks ever so much Peggy :) We were so happy to be back at this bottledump!
So many good finds and so interesting to have the information about the Eagle Pottery. I remember you finding that bit in the Dreel Burn and I have also found two bits with that same motif on the same beach. The two women look to me like fishwives and the head with the hat reminds me of a Highlander’s Tam o Shanter
Thanks so much Christine! Yes, they might be fishwives - they have become a lovely pair of earrings now actually, forever united in a new life! Hmm maybe it's a thinker like David Hulme or a poet or philosopher... ?
Great finds, the diggers have been very busy, but leaving little treasures for you guys. Take care and thanks for sharing 👍🙏❤️
Thanks so much Chris! We were so happy with the treasures the bottlediggers left behind :)
That was definitely a good day at the dump! So many cool finds in addition to the jam jars.
Thanks so much Shanna! We were so happy to be back at this bottledump :)
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support Deana!! :) x
Great finds! I love the song, Craig! Was pretty. I learned the clarinet young and so appreciate the work!
Thanks so much! Very kind of you to say, always a joy to make music :)
I’m actually glad that at least one of the bottle diggers’ holes was filled in, because it’s not really nice to leave such a pockmarked landscape. I realise it’s a good way of finding treasure though….love your videos!
Thanks so much Irma! It's certainly not a landscape for walking - you have to be super careful with even just 1ft deep holes when the nettles have grown over because you can't see them....
Its a glass out of a coach lamp. My grandfather used to mend them and I have two of the glasses, an oval and a rectangle.
Oh that's so interesting! I tried looking through it but didn't notice any change like you would in glasses with prescription ....
This lark was so much fun as usual! I ordered and received a codd marble necklace from your Etsy store! It is amazing. ❤ It is much heavier than I expected. Now I know why Nicole wears hers on a long chain. It is exceptional and I am so happy to have such a cool piece if history!!! Thank you so much!!❤🇺🇸
Thanks so much Tracy! So happy to hear you love the marble necklace :) I tend to wear an 18" chain with mine but I have a gecko marble pendant that I wear a 22" chain but it's really thick! Have a lovely weekend
I have one of Nicole's cod marble necklaces, too. I love it and have gotten so many comments on it.
You saying the gold crucible but snookered what to say for once - productive, what you found is for the workshop. Something for Craig to make with the Codds! Fussy pants - LOL !
Lol totally snookered that one ;) Def have to be fussy pants at the dumps - you can take 50 small things or 1 large bottle ! Lol
I like Craig's music! Well done!
Thanks so much Molly!
"Now et's nawt a hawwl buttle" would be another for the t shirt designs 😂 I like the mini jam jars! (Anything stoneware really). That glass tile might be the glass from a clock front?
Thanks so much Richard! We love a bit of stoneware too :) To think every single piece was handmade, just boggled the mind !! Clock front - sounds like a great idea ...
What a great haul!!!!!❤
Thanks so much Lark Davis :)
Great finds
Thanks so much :)
Good haul that
Thanks so much Laura :) We truly enjoyed being back there!
Another great mudlarking adventure, Craig and Nicole. You found some great treasures. Love the bits of history and beautiful music, too.
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Thanks so much Sheila :) So glad you enjoyed the golden crucible !
Another great video. And just as i arrive at the beach i see the famous pair leaving 😢
Aww did you see us walking along the beach today? And me, Nicole, carefully walking over the broken shells 🫣? Thanks so much DeeTee
I just got my little beach combing bucket out the boot of the car and you both drove past ! Just missed you guys. Maybe see you another time.
Looks like the place where old shoes go to die! So many old shoes, lol
Yes, I call this place "the dump of old soles".
Maybe one day we'll just pick up all the shoes and pile them up to see how many we find in one day ... maybe ;)
The sole of the dump....
That glass tile would make an excellent hot glue gun stand .
Oh yes it would , you are right Ronda!!
* The Diggers are killing the Trees. They tried to Save the Trees by Refilling the Holes.. It can't be worth Killing the trees just for bottles & Pieces of broken pottery, bottles & Pipe pieces..
Nicole and Craig don't dig holes. They go to places that have already been dug or beaches. You should direct your comments to the ones who do the digging. I do get your point though and it never occurred to me until I read your comment. There is a couple (I forget their TH-cam channel name) who dig and after fill the hole in but you reckon that probably isn't good enough. Which I can understand as the soil would not be compacted enough to support a root system. I guess the best mudlarkers are the ones who scrape the surface.
The trees do suffer that's for sure - I haven't seen many fallen trees in bottledumps though, they tend to recover once the digging is over and nature takes back what's hers... you can see this place was just soil last year and this year everything is covered with nettles and plants again :)
Thanks Helen! We don't dig you are right - we take what's on the surface and when I scrape , I scrape the soil back into the hole as much as possible... :)
@@scottishmudlarking No worries!
Great finds. Like the head with the hat and the jam jars also. Enjoyed watching. 🌞🇺🇸
Thanks so much Rosemarie! We love a wee jam jar too :)
