Lovely question...the alternative to YOU DIGGING IN THE MUD AND YOUR BRINGING THESE HISTORIES BACK INTO THE PRESENT....(drum roll)...is wastefulness on the order of global abuse.
This has been one of my favorite videos. Your lovely teamwork, lovely finds, information sharing, and UPCYCLING(TAH-DAH) is so much fun. Lock down for me is MUDLARKING!!! YAY! A VICARIOUS ADVENTURE!
Thank you both for doing such a great job of filming, jewellery making, poetry reading, and schwoo pets cuteness, and musical presentations...just very well done! Makes me want to move to Great Britain with a huge pair of mud boots that reach up to my ears...lol...allergy considerations not withstanding!
Go team...can't wait to see your creations blossom!!!
I wants a shirt that says "dig me a stopple bopper" lol
Yes or a hat....
Me too either one!!
Good idea. I've found myself saying stopple boppers many times!
@@isalennox-moore7213 Shouldn't it be 'stopple botter'?
Great idea! I think "What is the alternative to all this?" would be a great t-shirt as well.
You guys have such a calming way of doing your videos. It's like watching and listening to Bob Ross, but it's Northern Mudlarks.
Thank you so much! 💕😁
The bird you thought was a pheasant is a phoenix.
Ah yes, that makes a lot more sense! Xx
kristal burns I agree. I thought of Harry Potter right away.
It's a fenghuang, which is sometimes called a Chinese phoenix, but is not really similar to the phoenix of Greek mythology. :)
No, no it really is a stylized chicken 🤣
I thought it was a dragon.
Some amazing finds, yet again ladies, the ink bottle is one of my favourites.
I hate how things are made of cheap plastic today, it's drab and has done so much damage to our planet.
That is why i love what you both do, go out and find treasure, from the past, and history behind all your great finds.
The alternative would be leaving all these treasures where they were, never to be enjoyed. Glad you found them. Stay safe. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I get nervous when Alex manhandles the merch...lol. LOVE you two!
Yes same here I don’t know but I prefare mama to hold and cary the stuff I feel soooo anxious when she cary them I feel she don’t really cary them well!!!!! I know it doesn’t deserve all this feelings but I can’t help it! Please Alex do good stuff well 🥴
My youngest daughter and I are now avid watchers! So calming!
The world needs to find a way to bottle your passion and joy in finding these treasures!
The old bottles with minute cracks can often be stabilized with U.V resin. Keep digging ladies you rock.
Alex, I love your sneeze.
New item for your Etsy shop: T-shirt with the very pertinent type question. It would be a great bracelet or necklace with a bar of type.
Really fun video, but then they always are. 🌺
That would be amazing! Perhaps we could get some t shirts printed 😊💕
I would buy one...
@@NorthernMudlarks I’d buy one or a hat!!!
Yes! I agree! A baseball cap, t-shirt, jewelery! It's a great question to ponder!
@@NorthernMudlarks I'd definitely buy a t-shirt!
So exciting to see my maiden name “ McLennan “ on an old bottle . Love it !
The open pontil vinegar is probably 1840- 1860. The bird on the Japanese plate is a stylized pheasant. It's a common motif in Asian ceramics.👍
I just have have a small artists recommendation: Before you make a Christmas ornament out of that new second fairy lens make a two part mold of it then you can potentially make copies in glass or resin.
Great idea! That way we could make multiple tree decorations too 😊❤️
@@NorthernMudlarks You could also make edible copies in a very strong jelly solution. Edible decorations for a festive meal! You could even make an edible christmas tree with edible decorations & edible gifts.
@@sarahstrong7174 Over my way, we just call them cookies LOL
Come to think of it , perhaps even make moulds of alot of your shapely finds......
What a full session, full of wonderful treasures.and deeply philosophical. Looking forward to the next video, stay safe xx
I find myself saying “it’s a beaddddd”, when ever Alex finds one❤️✌️
Or.......I love it😂
My ten year old squeals it very loudly!🤣
.. its ANOTHER beaded.. + its ... a marble..
I like how you always include the plants and flowers of where you’re exploring.
You found some great finds! I love the little teddy bear!
That stamp is such a treasure! Obviously, YOU TWO ARE THE ALTERNATIVE. Without you, it would just be a load of worthless trash in a heap of mud. I found an old rusty truck battery shelf with heavy duty springs coming out of it that somebody painted a half fairy, half angel on it and it reads, "What are you waiting for?" across the top. I have it hanging over my bed now. I use the springs to prop up notes to remind me of things I need to get done. I take everything I find as a message. I don't believe in coincidences. Alex has the number 2 come up a lot. Gail, you also have 2 come up on all of your dominos. It could have something to do with the two of you and I am shocked at how often you find the same thing at the same time. It's almost as if there is a theme to each day you go out. I have the number 13 constantly popping up. I was born on the 13th. Crazy stuff!
I’m so jealous this is my ideal of extreme happiness
Alex,you are so adorable when you get excited! You’re still the bead queen! Thank you for another adventure!! Love the giant ink bottle, and the stopple bopper!
I had to stop myself from saying out loud "Alex, what are you doing? It's not going anywhere! Slow down." I am shocked that bottle didn't have any chips out of it from the shovel. And then they would have been so crushed. A trowel or small shovel would have been much safer.
Really awesome huge bottle, though!
Also, love that blue marble.
"What is the alternative of all this?" GREAT question for such a treacherous year the world has endured!
A rethorical question to people complaining about the restrictions and measures necessary to fight the pandemic..!
I took it as the question in this age regarding rubbish, pollution of our land etc... One of those moments in time where everything connects to bring 'the point' across to those whom need it, Eg Us the viewers the rubbish dumpers of days gone by, can we resolve this before another 100yrs? Personally, I hope so.
It's amazing that you find whole bottles they are so pretty. That type set is profound. It's gone from a dump to be cleaned up,and shown internationally. Talk about giving old things new life ladies that's what you are doing.
I could spend all day talking about your finds.
The Uncle Tom piece would be treasured here in the USA.
The beads, I am a bead fanatic, you definitely got some sweet Czech pieces and the Venetian one is spot on. I’m drooling at those beads!
The teddy bear or monkey, if you are selling those little castings, please let me know where I can purchase one!!!
Keep up the fascinating work!
On my father's side, we are from Scotland. Before the (1800s) And the way things are said remind me of how pure and clean things used to be when I used to go and stay with my grandparents. Great English. And I love to hear the nice ladies, speak with such a sound dialect. Music to my ears.
Hey everyone, let's send some positive energy, prayers, well wishes, anything your heart believes, out into the universe for Gail & Alex. One is for them to stay safe & healthy & another is for them to find another beautiful German marble.
I like the tripod view of you guys working from behind it makes me feel like I’m there watching!
their immersion level is always improving.
They became my top "Larking" channel
Except we cant join in, I would!
@@Cosmicorgasme I've made this comment on other #NorthernMudlarks videos, but I'll make it again; these ladies are the Gold Standard for mudlarking videos. 🥾 👢 🥾 👢
Love how the bead strand keeps growing.
The two of you have such sweet calming voices.
A LIverpool woman now living in Perth w a. Love watching you both plus the scenery and interesting finds. It reminds me of my childhood after the war making things out of left over waste which was not burnt on the fire grate. Recycling them days was saving all buttons on old shirts etc cutting old cotton sheets which where worn then sewing them into handkerchiefs. Making old wooden dollypegs into dolls. My grandfather Maloney used to draw faces on them and make clothes from old sheets for us to play with, old beads used on them from my favourite treasure box... the button box which I played with all the time. Also using old hat pins such happy childhood memories.
You both remind me of me and my daughters when they were little. We called it treasure hunting. They were close to the ground, so they always found good stuff. Beautiful bottle stoppers with a cross on top and a crown, opium bottles, purple perfume bottle, just to name a few. I miss going out like that, but l'm disabled now. Have fun and take care. ✝🎄🎅🤶🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
This was the MOST MEANINGFUL journey I have experienced with YOU BOTH.....SO many words to say......in just 1 sentence triggers thousands of years.
Trophy 🏆🏆 📹 History, 👍 DOCUMENTARY QUALITY
YOU BOTH JEWELS THAT I FOUND I CHERISH IN MY LIFE
TURNING MY BIG 70 THIS YEAR
HELPED ME BEYOND MEASURE
PIECE THE BROKEN PARTS OF MY PSYCHE......TURNING IT ALL INTO A PURPOSEFUL LIFE TONIGHT.
THANK YOU BOTH GAIL & ALEX 💋😘
Thank you so much for your lovely comment - it means a lot, and congratulations on your big 70! Never stop searching! xx
I just adore you both!! Peas in a pod!!!! Your voices are like music!!! Our family also have musical voices!!! I really enjoy your program!!!!
Ladies! That type is so deep! It's unbelievable that you found it! You truly must have Mudlarking Angels on your shoulders!
Have you thought about making a resin tabletop or a resin wallhanging? You could mount some things in there.
I loved how you cast the BearMonkey in silver!
Love how you two are so bonded❤️ nothing is stronger in love❤️love love the beads, marbles and buttons🎶💕
Some super cool finds. I have the Marmalade jar i keep my pens in it.great video guys.stay safe...V....
Hi everyone wow what a eclectic mix of treasures.. Happy days away init. Take care stay safe Stay alive 🙏❤ 💓
I pounced!!! I love your rubbish digs!!
You girls have definitely outdone yourselves, this is one of you best, if not the best of your videos!! The alternative to trash, is treasure, if it's old enough, & you certainly have found the alternative!! Soooo many precious items, just waiting many, many years to be discovered!! How interesting, the history you show on some of the old products is!! I dug up years ago, a Hinds & a Sloan's linament, very common here, not so much in Scotland. I had a blast digging with you, I get so excited, you'd think I found them! Thanks so much for the great entertainment!!!!!
I love your channel so much. I found it last year when the Covid shutdown began. It really helped me get through that time. Recently I lost my sweet little doggie named Tiny. She was my best friend. My family is broken hearted. I've been watching many of your videos that I missed. They are really healing. Thank you so much. I hope to visit Scotland one day. It seems so peaceful.
I do think a kintsugi repair would look stunning on the earthenware bottle.
Love all the things you girls make, just beautiful things
Thank you! It’s always such a fun time when you post a video!
Nice haul from my local tip nice work girls.....xxxx
Thanks again Mike for the lovely red lens! xx
What a profound question! To me it represents , we must make all our actions thoughtful ones , to the environment and our own kind. Thank you both for your wonderful channel. 🦘
So much to enjoy about this video! I like the round up at the end too! The stopple bopper brings to mind when my boys called a hot water bottle a 'hottle wottle bottle'. Their childhood was spent in Inverness. Wonderful memories.
I found a Ginger Beer bottle while digging one day missing the neck. It was a kind I did not have so I kept it. I was back at the same dump days later digging away and found a neck no where near where I found the bottle...I pocketed it thinking I could maybe marry the two together, when I got home and was cleaning things up, I retrieved the bottle and ...they matched perfectly! The bottle has a place of honor in my cabinet.
I hold my breath until Cake puts down the nicer pieces. When she says it's in "one piece: I always think "so far". . . . I do love how excited they get finding something while all muddy in the cold. . .
How special to watch a mum and daughter share their love in finding studying the history and making things!just love watching!!love love!
Spending time doing what I wish I could do so much fun! A little Teddy Bear so cute and I loves Him!
What a fantastic video ! And what AMAZING finds ! Wonderful ! Thanks x
Wow! That Marmalade jar was a smoker!!! How nice! A great hunt ladies as always. Stay safe & Happy Hunting! That is the alternative! Lol
I really love this dump ladies hope you go back ..loved watching .
I got rid of all my plastic containers and replaced with glass and I recycle everything I possibly can.
Me, too. 💞
Love the video and agree with Alex the sentence is very relevant to the Climate crisis. Love that you show people how to upcycle 👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing finds, Amazing people 🐓🐔🐤🐥🐣
Thank you sooo much for yet another interesting, relaxing video. Lots of info.
Your voices are both sooo calming, keep sharing with most of my family, thank you again for your lovely content, also showing everyone how mother and daughter bond together ❤️😊
Penny x
Aww thank you so much Penny! We're so happy to hear to hear that! You're very kind xx
You ladies are working that hole like a gem pocket. Good hunting !!!
Wonderful finds. It would be good to take a small ice chest, no ice , to put items in,
to keep them around the same temperature as when you take them from the ground. I really love your videos.
Great idea!
The alternative....is that you find treasures, and give knowledge about the, past! "Beauty for ashes". God gave you, both a passion for your natural talents, through...your mudlarking! A blessing! Love the beauty and peace, your journeys give us!.
Love 💘 you guys so much!.
Be well, be safe, be blessed🙏

A stopple bopper. Lol The Venetian lampwork bead is goreous! My favorite.
Great finds nice to get a whole marmalade and that huge bulk ink, and the dump giving you and all of us a profound question to ponder
Wow that blue marble is outstanding
Oooo I like the fancy lettering. Very festive!
I just love watching your videos 💞 see the big bed warmer at the start I know it was broken but you could put it on a wall and put a plant in it or even put it on a wall and see if a bird makes a nest in it ! Love all your beautiful things that you found 💞😊 stay safe 😷 merry Christmas 🎄xxx
My husband is Scottish from Dundee, IL here in the US. His mother gave me an old Keiller marmalade crock years ago. Surely not as old as yours - but I love it still. ❤️
You two are so much fun to hang with...love the finds...bravo on the finds...that is a great dump site...wow!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it 😊💕❤️
Alex has the cutest little sneeze.
My family calls that type of sneeze a "kitten" sneeze. I am the only one who does it to their amusement....
What a treasure trove! The lovely Venetian bead with dragged feather pattern has aventurine in it. This is a man-made glass known as "goldstone" in the U.S. The early Victorians used mica flecks to create sparkle. Aventurine was discovered by happenstance in Venice by melting soda-lime glass containing copper salts. These copper salts turned into metallic copper in the process. (When art and science go together -- oh, what miracles!) Hope you find lots more amazing beads! I especially admire the beads you both create. ❤
The bear looks like Bungle from Rainbow, now to find Zippy and George 😁 The cast Alex did really brought out the tiny features. Great work as ever.
So many beautiful whole items! A magnificent marble and the ribbed bottle is awesome!! Sweet teddy too! I also love that plate with the tree and house on it!
Thank you for that thought, Alex!
What a great selection of finds! That dump really is a gold mine!
Type face and that MARBLE...OMG...LOVE IT!
This is a wonderfull video. One of the best. You are two of the most kind and pleasant people. Kindness is what matters and it comes in many colors and excludes no one !
Such a wonderful video! Love to see a mother daughter team with this common passion you can share together. You do such a great job making your videos where you go from the thrill of the hunt to then showing all the cleaned up treasure and I especially love that you take the time to do the research and share your findings on some of the history behind the objects. Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
Hi love your videos. To date I always carry some smelling salts in my bag. They are really good for clearing your nose if you get a cold and generally just perks you up!
The beautiful glass bead could have copper in it if it is made by Lutz. Fenton makes a glass bead with gold. Your little bead is simply gorgeous. Great find!
The plate with the blue bird - I believe it might be called "Phoenix Ware". It's a Phoenix bird - very lovely!! I just found your channel the other day by chance as it popped into my TH-cam feed and I am so happy to be following your adventures now! I love all the little tidbits of information that you add for us to learn something about all of your treasures. I so wish I could join you on your digging trips! You're just having too much fun! LOL! And one of the best parts of your adventures is that you're mother and daughter so that has to make it so much MORE speciall!
So fun to have a video just as I’m sitting down for a cup of tea! 😁 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟
Found a bead next to the gas pump the other day. Would've never thought twice about pickin it up before i started watchin you two. When i saw it... Alex's voice popped in my head sayin " oooh! It's a beeeead!" It is a wonderful, glossy, red bead, Alex... and you can have It if ya want.
hehe xx
Fantastic finds ladies! I love how the teddy bear casting turned out 🧸😀
I absolutely love you two. Your my favorite and your so lucky to have eachother. I simply would live mudlarking if there was such a thing here in the US. I have Noone who shares my love of treasure hunting. It's in my soul and I live in the wrong part of the world.
Loved your finds ladies. So much fun to watch. ❤️❤️👍
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it! xx
The 1st bottle that came in 2 pieces would make an interesting trinket box if you could make molds before gluing back together ❤
I was thinking it is a perfect kintsugi opportunity- always works better with darker pottery. I’d love to see that done- the fusing of metal and clay. So special!
Dear Ladies,
Wow so beautiful items. I am so lucky with you.
Stay well
Liebe Grüße Jette
Ps i love the Teddybär too.
Kluge Worte!!!
I love your videos, I'm feeling sorry for myself today and seeing your lovely faces has brightened up my evening, you and kit and carbotle are so nice to watch ❤
The gold in the bead is called aventurine. Loved your finds!!!
All the aventurine I own and I find at bead stores rock shops etc is green
Amazing finds! A beautiful thing to watch today for me! Staying in due to freezing rain! Thanks so much for sharing this! I totally enjoy these videos!! Take care and good hunting
Cute Teddy Bear I thought it was a monkey lol! You thought the same! Just adorable!! I remember Sloans liniment the name
Fun to see made in USA!
🇺🇸👍❤
We couldn't tell for ages! I looks like monkey without a tail lol xx
Wonderful finds!! I do enjoy the history!! Thank you for sharing.
So good that you found both peices of the bottle and put them back together. Loved the views of you both digging. Thoroughly enjoyed :)
See you next time 🙂🙂✨✨
I went to Edenborough on my honeymoon, and brought back quite a few bottles and pots. Marmalade, heavy cream, ink jars, poison bottles, etc. I found a large ammonia bottle as well, and it makes a great vase. I'm told that if you can find the cream lids, they are extremely collectible and worth quite a bit of money.
Oooh my favorite ladies!!!!
Dear J.W.
👍👌👏 Mine too, definitely!
Best regards luck and health.
So many nice treasures. Glad you saved them. Fantastic.
Thank you so much for making these videos. I am much too old and achy to go out digging in the mud, but I enjoy watching you do it. Finding whole bottles is incredible!
Bottle dump larking is my favourite, lots of interesting finds and loads of history it's the best, Thanks girls 👍👍👌👌xx
That Neptune marble is brilliant Gail..
