Im sure I mentioned once before after losing my wife and trying to cipe with grief I came across both your channels and try to comment on both . Seeing and hearing the joy that eminates from you both is heartwarming. Two gentle ladies . Alex and your Mum Gail. You find sone great stuff. Relaxing to watch you both.
Loss is not easy by any means... sending strength your way James. I also use these videos as my time of peace and relaxation. There's just something soothing about Alex and Gail... Thank you ladies.
I see you are still looking to figure out what the '3-legged white thing with the hole in the middle ' is... my thought is you fit it over a wide-mouth vase, and the hole in the middle is the receptical for an individual flower... seemed like a reasonable idea! Love you all!
It's so fun to see how you both have evolved with your channel! I've been here almost from day 1, and it has been a fun journey to see what you both find and how you have been doing things a bit differently. I thoroughly enjoy watching you both. And to watch your other lost tower dairies!
Alex, your mother & you "May you always find happiness were ever you go & what ever you do. For you bring a smile in people hearts with videos and creative art you design. My time on this earth is ending for the cancer is winning for the few months I have left. But Alex your mother & you when God willing I am in Heaven may still get watch you two & your friends have a very long and happy life. An may the Jesus always watch over you.
May Jesus make your transition easy, and greet you warmly when you arrive. You'll be able to swoop right on over there to Scotland and be there with Gail and Alex when they dig, and nudge them in the right direction of where all the good stuff is, as you will have front row viewing. Peace to you, my sister in Christ.
I was sure that someone would identify the mechanical pencil. That style of pencil came from Japan. I believe that Pentel made the first mass market one sometime in the 1990s. At least that was the period of time that I first saw them in the U.S.
You should know that almost everyone would buy the bottles with small chips! Can’t find anything like them in USA. Please save and put on your site for sale!
I agree. The end is plenty big for the lead for a mechanical pencil. It's about that age for a pencil and it just got melted. Probably would have had a metal end on it with an eraser inside the metal housing.
That last one, looks like the top of a water ashtray. You put the finished cigarette through the hole when it's finished, and also the ashes while smoking and it takes away the smell. Were used a few years ago when more people used to smoke indoors.
Hi I am Kim in Canada...I love your show. The white piece you showed at the end may be a Victorian Porcelain Bobech. A lamp base or chandalier, It could also go on a candle stick to catch wax. Good Luck.
Just a little tip if you want to use it. I noticed you wipe a lot of the items on your trousers to clean them. Take a small towel and tuck half inside waist of pants and let other half hang out. You can wipe the items on it and keep your clothes clean. Great finds!
Yes! They always seem to go so unprepared! No trowels to do a little digging or gloves to protect finger (even nitrile gloves would afford some protection!) not criticising, I love their videos and the exploration 😊
An idea for your little white dish with the hole: Perhaps its a portable watercolour paint pallet! They sit on top a jug or mug of water allowing the painter to dip their brush into the whole to rinse it clean and mix their colours on top.
When you collect enough tiles your path will be amazing! 😊 Really interesting finds. A big shout out to the little person hiding! Thank you Ladies! ☺️💐💐
Thank you for all of the kind things that you say to your viewers during your program. All of your encouragement reaches just the right listener. What a wonderful distraction it is to watch your channel and see your appreciation for history and the respect you offer to everyone regardless of their unique journey or lifestyle. Your discoveries and your desire to investigate and share stories about your finds brings us all together and unites us in commonality with the value of the knowledge we gain about our past. It grounds us. I just love history, archeology, and especially genealogy. Over here in the United States, as you have probably noticed through social media, our citizens are being held captive by a justice system that is completely out of control. I realize that you too have restrictions that keep you from commenting or from conveying your likes or maybe dislike about different issues. Over here in the U.S. we are used to saying and doing whatever we like without penalty (as long as we do not cause physical harm to another) … But now we are slowly loosing that over 200 year old privilege. Our people are standing by patiently and waiting for this next election. We need order to be reestablished. We long for the return of our once cherished freedoms. The censorship by the media has divided our citizens and sadly we no longer have the unity that is required to restore order. All I want for my country is for the return of wisdom for each individual. Prayer can make us unstoppable. Pray for us Nicola. I so look forward to your next show about your trip to Chicago! I’m so excited to see what you and your friends will discover! Personally, I love those little baby doll heads, shards of old china, and beautiful colored embossed bottles of miracle elixirs!
10:20 The stylus, I believe is a Silverpoint stylus, when I was in college I did a detailed Silverpoint drawing a trout jumping out of the water. What's nice about the drawings is that it patinas and makes a nice shiny gray.
I feel like that white porcelain thing with a hole in it is a lamp part. I don't know why, just thought that right away. Lovely videos. I would just love to do this sort of thing and wish there were older dumps here in Manitoba, Canada.
44:14 I’ve seen something similar to that in an old antique shoppe- it was used for twine for wrapping parcels/packages. I love your experiments! More, please! 😁
I believe that the pen is a metalpoint pen. It may have had a silver or lead or copper point. It was probably used for sketching, writing, or technical drawing. The metal point will write on a very rough surface. The surface may have been made rough enough to remove a tiny bit of metal from the metal pen tip surface by painting on some fine gritty material mixed with an adhesive and allowed to dry.This sort of pen was used by DaVinci, for one, to make his sketches. I duplicated the process by imbedding a bit of silver into the end of a wooden chopstick and sketching with it on a piece of Bristol board painted with gesso to which a bit of baking soda had been added.
My grandma used a hair receiver... she had something called a 'rat' made from her own hair that she had formed into a flat ball. She used it to plump up her bun . Her hair was waist length. She had never cut it into a Bob like her sisters. When she was young she wore it wound into two plaited buns over her ears, then when she got older she had a bun on top of her head with plaits would around it.
Have you ever added to your mushroom houses fairy village you constructed and painted? I would love to see your made fairy village. Also a question, do you ever take broken glass and make your own glass beads? Suggestion, when finding things that you have researched before, attach your previous video that has your extended research on it will be such a great service for those wishing to know more, Take care ladies you are fantastic gals! center porcelain with hole for a juicer?
You guys found so many interesting things! I understand the dream wish list of projects I want to do vs the have to do list!!! But, one day the dram list will be fulfilled. The deer on the mug would have made a beautiful pendant. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!
One looks like a Scottish terrier and the other looks like a bird dog ( I forget the names of them, sorry) the pipe with the Queen Victoria's son is amazing. The morning button is beautiful, the jack, tiddler, and leg is a great find, the beads always are a good find. The bottles are cute. The doll faces are a bit creepy but nice. The small jam jar are becoming my favorite find along with the tea pots and the lids 😊. The cod marbles are cool, and the stoppers ❤. Great hunting with the finds 😃...btw a few seconds before you sneezed Alex, I sneezed, crazy lol...the dish with the hole I was thinking it could of been for a candle in a jar. Interesting non the less.
Forgot about the whistle and the eye lol, it's a loud whistle for being a 100 years old 😆...loved the lost tower diaries video, Gail, you sure work fast lol, great video!
Awww that place is so enormous and has so many gifts ! I’m sure that there will be many more finds washed clean with all the rain we have had ! I love the last minute whistle and eye 👁️
The piece of metal looks like a fan blade. It could have been attached with a bracket without there being a hole in the blade. Perhaps?? Enjoyed the lark as usual. Thank you. 😀
"It's a leg"! I love this every time! 😂 The Mystery object is a mechanical pencil. The lead is extremely fragile and thin, and breaks easily. Only those who write lightly, can use them. Sorry, I don't know what the white ceramic thing is. Nice video again this week, ladies, thank-you. 😊
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE SO MANY DIFFERENT PIPE BOWL DESIGNS. THEY ARE AMAZING TO FIND. ALEX, YOU HAVE QUITE THE EYE FOR FINDING THE TINIEST TREASURES, ESPECIALLY BEADS. THANKS AND STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY..❤️🙏
I bought a lovely little glass hair receiver in a charity shop many moons ago. I also never knew it was a thing? The brass top is inscribed 'hair receiver'. I used it to put my Huskys forever moulting fur in. He passed away bless him in 2020. I still have it stuffed with his fur!! 💕💕💕
The small eye with the all black center reminds me of a stuffed kitten's eye. The mystery pencil shaped object reminds me first of all: an engraving tool for leather or wood. Secondly, possibly to punch small wholes for some type of needlework. It will be interesting to know for sure! Thanks Gail and Alex for all your educational dedication and hard work. ❤❤❤ Love from over the Pond in West Michigan.😊
Hello ladies! Loving your adventures! My husband is a Gordon whose family line goes back to the Scottish isle and somewhere near Balmoral. If you ever come across a Gordon’s gin bottle I’d love to buy it ! Happy Hunting and let me know! Thanks
Just love the whistle and it still works I hear. Good one for the collection and a whole one at that. You two were my escape when my partner was alive and now yooiu are my friends who I love to watch whether mudlarking or dump searching or whatever. I lso love the Lost Tower Diaries to see what else you two get up to. Stay safe love to you all
Love that you play Geordie. English folk song from about 1601 about the outlaw Geordie Stoole from your home county Northumberland. There's no doubting how much the singer sounds like Alex .
Dear Northern Mudlarkers! Thank you for another beautiful Video and the opportunity for me to live such an amazing little adventure through your eyes (… or camera). Due to my disabilities, I can‘t get out so often and so this really makes my day and week. But please allow me one question. In the first part you used this wonderful song again, sung by an amazing singer who sounds a bit like Alex? Before finding your videos, I never heard it and I would love to know what the name of the song is and who the artist is, singing this piece. Other then that: Enjoy the new week and many greetings from Germany! Chris
I don't know if anyone else has said this.Have been meaning to say it myself for ages.One man's trash is another man's treasure. Always look forward to see what new things you will find.
The tea kettles, without the handle , would make great planters, to outline the garden or the walls! I've often thought ':Take it home for a planter". LOL Love the video and you both! And I've thought the glass stopers wif you line up about 4 of the upside down on an old piece would or drift wood, they would make a good ring holders. (I always have thoughts of what could be made out of your finds.) .LOL
I rarely comment, but watch every film. Thankyou for bringing us along. The time, the effort. Gale was correct- it's a mechanical pencil, and that 'pin' at the end there is the lead pusher. It would retract for loading.(iirc)
Hello ladies, thank you for the vid its always a pleasurable experience to hear your voices, music and see the flora around you while you fossick for your treasures. Is it against mudlarking rules to use trowels? If not, why don't you use them? Cheers!!!🥰😘🤔💕👍👍👍🙏
As always, a fun video. I also really enjoyed your latest on the Lost Tower Diaries -- very relaxing. Any ideas on when you might be setting to work again in the studio? I would love to see some new videos from your maker's channel. Cheers.
😂😂Says secure...tap tap. Well not so much anymore. Got a good giggle off that one! Those toothbrushes are fairly large!! In my childhood (1970's) I remember them being somewhat bigger than what we use today. Thanks Alex.. You Ladies enjoy your week. Much love for you and what you do to entertain us💚💙✨✨
Re-your mystery item that someone thought was a hair receiver. Since it fits so well over a tea cup, could it have something to do with putting a tea bag string through the hole. this way the paper attached to the string won’t slip into the water? I love your channels! Keep up the good quality of your contents! Have a very nice week and I’ll “see” you next weekend!😊
Such wonderful finds! I do love the old stone ware pots and bone brushes! Oh a bit ..off subject in a sense, I came across a woman who makes traditional Spanish lace and she uses wood pegs, and I am not mistaken the same kind of wood pegs you found and had no idea what they were for. Perhaps you could look her up and see the pegs she uses. Galicia Bee Designs is her channel. I hope it puts a end to what the mysterious pegs were used for. I admit I am so over the moon at finding that video of them being used! :)
Hola, las veo desde hace tiempo pero nunca les había escrito es interesante, entretenido, ilustrante lo que hacen y hermosas las piezas de arte que realizan con pedazos de su historia. 👌👌🫶
Great video. Your pudding doll is doing a good job. I think the newest eye might be a very dark brown. Don't forget your bead boxes. As of this video your bird feeders were empty.
Thank you for sharing your world with all of us armchair travellers. Love to see someplace new and yet so timeless, too. Beautiful scenery, history and the occasional giddy giggle of discovery😊 *candle drip guard seems to be the most likely*
Greensleeves, I have an antique hair receiver it is cut glass with a silver top with flowers on it. They used to make "Hair Rats" which is a ball of hair that is their own, that is kind of like the modern hair doughnut, it is to give volume to an updo, because the Victorians and Edwardians had puffed up hairdo's it filled in the blank space and puffed it up without heavy teasing of the hair. I study a lot about the Victorian and Edwardian Eras.
I grew up with lots of antiques and we had hair receivers. They used them to make poufs for their hair and” rat” they called it. We have a Hair Museum in Kansas City that’s absolutely amazing. Jewelry and pictures all made of hair. If you ever have a chance, you should come to Missouri and check out the hair museum. It is unreal. Love your channel.
Alex and Gail thank you for another wonderful video. I can so get lost in the humor excitement and joy of watching you both. Always end up with a smile on my face ... that is the BEST !!!
Hello Gail and Alex! Loved this dump site, can't wait for y'all to go back after the rain. The ceramic mystery lid thing with the hole in the center is a definite head scratcher! Watch, it'll turn out to be something so obvious. Lol
Good day🦋🌷what a treat 2 videos, made my weekend! Today’s mystery item, I think it is a mechanical pencil & they do made leads that small. As for the porcelain mystery.. wonder if after you put the egg you pick it up and swirl it around the whites would come through? Or it would work well as a flower frog for a single flower 🌸 thanks for both your videos ☮️🇨🇦💜
I enjoy your videos so much because I too love to find old things that link us to the past and I watch the other channel as well. You are both so gentile which we don't find often here in the US.
What a great dumpsite, a few mysteries that I have no clue on either, the gifted green bottle is stunning and that half doll face reminds me of Phantom of the Opera 🤗 As always had a lovely time with you both, another day brightened by Gail and Alex. Love and hugs, stay well 🥰🥰 xx
Thank you Ladies, still love seeing mudlarking Charlotte at the roundup. I was wondering about the eyeball and the plant pot, when you answered both . Lovely video with lots of wonderful finds. Thanks so much!
Hi ladies, awesome video once again. Alex you really shouldn't jump into the hole like that, a friend of mine had work boots on and was only walking in our local dump when a wine glass stem went straight through his boot. Off to hospital, stitches and tetnus shot. So please please please dont jump in the bloody hole. Love from down under love ❤
Lovely visit ….thank you ladies! Can’t wait for more to come… and thanks again lovely beads! Pipe day, and marbles! I think…lovely….be well…see you next week! 🌹
Im sure I mentioned once before after losing my wife and trying to cipe with grief I came across both your channels and try to comment on both .

We are so deeply sorry for your loss and so humbled that you found our videos comfort. All the very best to you 🥰🦚🌸
James, you have support here in this channel! Stay strong 💪🏼❣️
Loss is not easy by any means... sending strength your way James. I also use these videos as my time of peace and relaxation. There's just something soothing about Alex and Gail... Thank you ladies.
Sending my best wishes and my heartfelt condolences on your wife's passing ❤
Yes I find their channel Very relaxing. It’s a un-explaining relaxation. Much love and blessings, it just takes time. 🌸🌺🌻🩵
"Hole of Destiny" that made me laugh Alex. It sounds like a low budget film..."She dared not, but she did it! She jumped into the hole of DESTINY!!!"
I had a laugh at the title too!😂always great vids
Destiny is all ! ( if you know you know 🤣🤣🤣)
You make me Sunday evenings not so lonely. Love you two,your infectious happiness for your finds makes me smile.
They both have great sense of humor! “ I’ve landed got me”!
They have a beautiful mom and daughter relationship .
Treasurer hunting looks fun!
I too have lonely evenings so I can understand your feelings! I love these two, makes me miss my mom even more.
@@bonniemckay4007 aww I'm so sorry.
@@bonniemckay4007I feel for you and with you too.
So happy you still put the pudding doll in your finds pictures. Always fun to watch and see how she is posed. Nice lark at the tip!
Yes, I love it 😊
The pudding doll often helps with scale when displaying objects of unknown size.
I know! It makes me laugh every time I see it. I loved this week's button "hat" on it. So cute! 😄
I feel like Alex sings the background music. Y’all are my favorite TH-cam to watch
Yes! I love the Geordie song. I would love to hear the whole thing with the lyrics.
I think it sounds like Alex's voice too. A beautiful song indeed 😊
Yes l love the song too, and often thought maybe its Alex 😊
I'm certain of it. And I think it's the whole family , actually. Perfect music for the channel😊.
Alex has got a beautiful voice
Your humor is delightful. I love the hidden penny doll.
I crack up on how many ways she comes up to pose that little doll 😂❤
I agree! It makes me smile and giggle ❤
I see you are still looking to figure out what the '3-legged white thing with the hole in the middle ' is... my thought is you fit it over a wide-mouth vase, and the hole in the middle is the receptical for an individual flower... seemed like a reasonable idea! Love you all!
It's so fun to see how you both have evolved with your channel! I've been here almost from day 1, and it has been a fun journey to see what you both find and how you have been doing things a bit differently.
I thoroughly enjoy watching you both. And to watch your other lost tower dairies!
I love seeing what the tiny dolly is up to each week!
Alex, your mother & you "May you always find happiness were ever you go & what ever you do. For you bring a smile in people hearts with videos and creative art you design. My time on this earth is ending for the cancer is winning for the few months I have left. But Alex your mother & you when God willing I am in Heaven may still get watch you two & your friends have a very long and happy life. An may the Jesus always watch over you.
May Jesus make your transition easy, and greet you warmly when you arrive.
You'll be able to swoop right on over there to Scotland and be there with Gail and Alex when they dig, and nudge them in the right direction of where all the good stuff is, as you will have front row viewing. Peace to you, my sister in Christ.
Pencil leads are made very small for mechanical pencils,lovely lark ladies!❤
I was sure that someone would identify the mechanical pencil. That style of pencil came from Japan. I believe that Pentel made the first mass market one sometime in the 1990s. At least that was the period of time that I first saw them in the U.S.
@@GaryScott-pdx Mechanical pencils were around before 1990, I went to school in the 60's in the UK and used them.
You should know that almost everyone would buy the bottles with small chips! Can’t find anything like them in USA. Please save and put on your site for sale!
I heard from someone in Texas that Portland apparently has great mudlarking spots ☺️
Alex it's a propelling pencil, you put the lead inside. 😃
Yeah, in Canada we call these mechanical pencils
@@mandycleezehappyhour4238 I still have one but don't use it nowadays..
@@mandycleezehappyhour4238 I still have one, but don't use it now..
That was my thought as well.
I agree. The end is plenty big for the lead for a mechanical pencil. It's about that age for a pencil and it just got melted. Probably would have had a metal end on it with an eraser inside the metal housing.
That last one, looks like the top of a water ashtray. You put the finished cigarette through the hole when it's finished, and also the ashes while smoking and it takes away the smell. Were used a few years ago when more people used to smoke indoors.
I just love the hiding pudding doll. I love looking for him every video. So sweet. Little did he know he’d be so popular! Great finds! 👋🏼from🇨🇦
Well that was the cutest sneeze I’ve heard in forever 🥰✌🏼🤟🏼🖖🏼😎
I was thinking the same thing.
Yes, and we ‘blessed’ you as well.
Hi I am Kim in Canada...I love your show. The white piece you showed at the end may be a Victorian Porcelain Bobech. A lamp base or chandalier, It could also go on a candle stick to catch wax. Good Luck.
I too think it is lamp related..or part of a chandelier..😊
My favorite ladies in scottland❤can't wait for your videos
Just a little tip if you want to use it. I noticed you wipe a lot of the items on your trousers to clean them. Take a small towel and tuck half inside waist of pants and let other half hang out. You can wipe the items on it and keep your clothes clean. Great finds!
Yes! They always seem to go so unprepared! No trowels to do a little digging or gloves to protect finger (even nitrile gloves would afford some protection!) not criticising, I love their videos and the exploration 😊

Perhaps its a portable watercolour paint pallet! They sit on top a jug or mug of water allowing the painter to dip their brush into the whole to rinse it clean and mix their colours on top.
When you collect enough tiles your path will be amazing! 😊
Really interesting finds. A big shout out to the little person hiding! Thank you Ladies! ☺️💐💐
You could have recreated new handles for that tea pit and doll cup. Loved this video.
I've seen Gail get creative with silver, A nice metal band handle could work to hide the area the ceramic handle broke off.

Gail, been watching your videos since the beginning.
Its beautiful to see your smile grow bigger and bigger all the time .
Keep shining
I like that the mystery object fits well on the top of a vessel, perhaps it holds a funnel ????

If you ground the back of the mourning buttons flat and bezel set them as pendants they'd be gorgeous! Especially that lovely flower one! Xx
Love that you play Geordie. English folk song from about 1601 about the outlaw Geordie Stoole from your home county Northumberland. There's no doubting how much the singer sounds like Alex .
looks like a led pencil from the late 60s.great job ladys.
You need something to sift the dirt. Cute videos thanks for sharing!!
Dear Northern Mudlarkers! Thank you for another beautiful Video and the opportunity for me to live such an amazing little adventure through your eyes (… or camera). Due to my disabilities, I can‘t get out so often and so this really makes my day and week. But please allow me one question. In the first part you used this wonderful song again, sung by an amazing singer who sounds a bit like Alex? Before finding your videos, I never heard it and I would love to know what the name of the song is and who the artist is, singing this piece. Other then that: Enjoy the new week and many greetings from Germany! Chris
I've wondered the same.
I wonder if the pencil thingy is a silverpoint stylus, used to make sketches on coated paper....
Always a pleasure - lovely episode - love the deer cup sherd
I don't know if anyone else has said this.Have been meaning to say it myself for ages.One man's trash is another man's treasure. Always look forward to see what new things you will find.
The cylinder with the pointed end is a Stylographic Pen- a kind of fountain pen.
The tea kettles, without the handle , would make great planters, to outline the garden or the walls! I've often thought ':Take it home for a planter". LOL Love the video and you both! And I've thought the glass stopers wif you line up about 4 of the upside down on an old piece would or drift wood, they would make a good ring holders. (I always have thoughts of what could be made out of your finds.) .LOL
You should keep the tiny tea pot and cup and just make a new handle for them. That's what I would do!
I rarely comment, but watch every film. Thankyou for bringing us along. The time, the effort. Gale was correct- it's a mechanical pencil, and that 'pin' at the end there is the lead pusher. It would retract for loading.(iirc)
Thank you for watching! 🥰🦚
The old clay pots you have found remind me of Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men.✌️❤️
Hello ladies, thank you for the vid its always a pleasurable experience to hear your voices, music and see the flora around you while you fossick for your treasures. Is it against mudlarking rules to use trowels? If not, why don't you use them? Cheers!!!🥰😘🤔💕👍👍👍🙏
Thank you so much for the video. I love watching you guys. 😊
As always, a fun video. I also really enjoyed your latest on the Lost Tower Diaries -- very relaxing. Any ideas on when you might be setting to work again in the studio? I would love to see some new videos from your maker's channel. Cheers.
As i've said before..There's nothing like starting my mondays watching you both. I just love it!
That was the tiniest little sneeze. Bless you❤
My cousin collects hair receivers. I had never heard about them till I saw hers
😂😂Says secure...tap tap. Well not so much anymore. Got a good giggle off that one! Those toothbrushes are fairly large!! In my childhood (1970's) I remember them being somewhat bigger than what we use today.
Thanks Alex..
You Ladies enjoy your week. Much love for you and what you do to entertain us💚💙✨✨
Re-your mystery item that someone thought was a hair receiver.
Since it fits so well over a tea cup, could it have something to do with putting a tea bag string through the hole. this way the paper attached to the string won’t slip into the water? I love your channels! Keep up the good quality of your contents! Have a very nice week and I’ll “see” you next weekend!😊
Now you've got us all looking for the pudding doll in every shot! Very fun.
Have you ever pressed the mourning jet buttons into clay seem like that would be awesome especially since they are mostly unique. Love your content
Such wonderful finds! I do love the old stone ware pots and bone brushes! Oh a bit ..off subject in a sense, I came across a woman who makes traditional Spanish lace and she uses wood pegs, and I am not mistaken the same kind of wood pegs you found and had no idea what they were for. Perhaps you could look her up and see the pegs she uses.
Galicia Bee Designs is her channel. I hope it puts a end to what the mysterious pegs were used for. I admit I am so over the moon at finding that video of them being used! :)
Hola, las veo desde hace tiempo pero nunca les había escrito es interesante, entretenido, ilustrante lo que hacen y hermosas las piezas de arte que realizan con pedazos de su historia. 👌👌🫶
Great video. Your pudding doll is doing a good job. I think the newest eye might be a very dark brown. Don't forget your bead boxes. As of this video your bird feeders were empty.
Thank you for sharing your world with all of us armchair travellers. Love to see someplace new and yet so timeless, too. Beautiful scenery, history and the occasional giddy giggle of discovery😊
*candle drip guard seems to be the most likely*
Wasn’t feeling well today, but your video made my day when it popped up!❤❤😊
Greensleeves, I have an antique hair receiver it is cut glass with a silver top with flowers on it. They used to make "Hair Rats" which is a ball of hair that is their own, that is kind of like the modern hair doughnut, it is to give volume to an updo, because the Victorians and Edwardians had puffed up hairdo's it filled in the blank space and puffed it up without heavy teasing of the hair. I study a lot about the Victorian and Edwardian Eras.
Yet another wonderful video ladies. Great finds.
I grew up with lots of antiques and we had hair receivers. They used them to make poufs for their hair and” rat” they called it.
We have a Hair Museum in Kansas City that’s absolutely amazing. Jewelry and pictures all made of hair. If you ever have a chance, you should come to Missouri and check out the hair museum. It is unreal. Love your channel.
Maybe you could make a border to your garden with all the beautiful tiles you find?
Love the video and rhe finds are so cool! I love the little treasure so much!!
Alex and Gail thank you for another wonderful video. I can so get lost in the humor excitement and joy of watching you both. Always end up with a smile on my face ... that is the BEST !!!
Hello Gail and Alex! Loved this dump site, can't wait for y'all to go back after the rain. The ceramic mystery lid thing with the hole in the center is a definite head scratcher! Watch, it'll turn out to be something so obvious. Lol
Some great finds ladies thanks for the adventure. Loved seeing a little nuthatch visiting your bird reeder ❤
Good day🦋🌷what a treat 2 videos, made my weekend! Today’s mystery item, I think it is a mechanical pencil & they do made leads that small. As for the porcelain mystery.. wonder if after you put the egg you pick it up and swirl it around the whites would come through? Or it would work well as a flower frog for a single flower 🌸 thanks for both your videos ☮️🇨🇦💜
I enjoy your videos so much because I too love to find old things that link us to the past and I watch the other channel as well. You are both so gentile which we don't find often here in the US.
Great video again 😁 We haven't seen the fur babies lately, hint hint. I hope everyone is well.
What a great dumpsite, a few mysteries that I have no clue on either, the gifted green bottle is stunning and that half doll face reminds me of Phantom of the Opera 🤗 As always had a lovely time with you both, another day brightened by Gail and Alex. Love and hugs, stay well 🥰🥰 xx
beautiful glass eye collection...never get tired of seeing what u find @ the dump. thanx!
That deer on the cup would make a great pendant
Thank you Ladies, still love seeing mudlarking Charlotte at the roundup. I was wondering about the eyeball and the plant pot, when you answered both . Lovely video with lots of wonderful finds. Thanks so much!
Hi ladies, awesome video once again. Alex you really shouldn't jump into the hole like that, a friend of mine had work boots on and was only walking in our local dump when a wine glass stem went straight through his boot. Off to hospital, stitches and tetnus shot. So please please please dont jump in the bloody hole. Love from down under love ❤
Lovely visit ….thank you ladies! Can’t wait for more to come… and thanks again lovely beads! Pipe day, and marbles! I think…lovely….be well…see you next week! 🌹
