Incredible face from the past - what is transferware pottery? Scottish Mudlarking
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ย. 2024
- Join us on a mudlarking adventure in the Victorian Holiday Resort of Lundin Links. We find beautiful, and dramatic, transferware; gorgeous tiny sea-shells to fill old dug utility bottles with tiny shells; and we take a look at the history of this remarkable Scottish coastal village, in the East Neuk of Fife.

We return to Lundin Links, a beautiful coastal village that was largely constructed to accommodate Victorian tourists. This is where we talked about the Selkie Folk, and, when we were last here, the megaliths/standing stones that have stood for thousands of years! Today, we want say a little about Lundin Links the holiday resort, just to bring things together from several of our videos from this part of the coast.
You have asked us about transferware on several occasions, so we dip into that subject today - we will follow this information up in two weeks when we take a closer look at the subject. Its a great day to talk about transferware because we finds an amazing pictorial piece featuring a very clear, and a wee bit creepy, face! We think its one of the best pieces of transferware we have ever found!
There are so many really beautiful and tiny wee shells around our feet today, so we decide to collect and pile them up - they are so pretty we decide to take the smallest ones home with us and pop them into some very old, dug, utility bottles! They look so sweet that we decided to bottle up a some of the other very small things we find around our coast - sea glass, and coal dust! They look great!
Nicole takes a few of the pieces we collected today and gets to work turning them into gorgeous items of jewellery!
We hope you enjoyed today's video... Thank you so much!

--Update on Scotland's COVID restrictions--
We continue to follow restrictions so that we can work safely, responsibly, and legally.
Guidelines in Scotland have now changed. We are now free to travel throughout Scotland and meet with up to 6 others.
--Our policies--
Since March 2020, we have met with no one at all - and we continued to isolate even when restrictions were relaxed.
We never film in a busy location - aside from maintaining isolation, we could not make restful, calming, or relaxing content in a busy area.
Since March 2020 we have restricted our travel to distances that allow us to get to our location, film our content, and return home, without ever visiting local amenities, entering any buildings etc. This gives us a reasonable window to work in while also maintaining that we are not out for very long.
We only film once a week, and we always do that mid-week. If we arrive in an area and people are present, we leave without getting out of the car.
Our policies are simple and entirely concerned with maintaining social distancing so that we can be safe and so that we can ensure the safety of others. We will continue to follow these policies fully, and we will cease outdoor filming altogether should government guidance change.

That is the prettiest heart shaped stone that I have seen.
It really was such a lovely wee find... Thank you so much! :D xo
That piece of pottery brought to mind the book " a Christmas carol" by Dickens, the ghost of Marley
Oh Peggy you are so right!! The face very much looks like Marley .... :) Thanks so much!!
The face reminds me of Posiedon, and it looks like there's the hint of Greek key design on the shard too
Ah! Good thinking!! We think the motif is Greek inspired, but hadn't really looked at the Key design! Thank you so much!
I just searched for 'Posiedon blue pottery' and found far too many things I'd love to have! haha! :D xo
08:15 My heart just aches to be on a beach on a calm sunny day. The music makes it even more poignant, but exquisite nonetheless.
Lovely to hear you enjoyed the video - we do feel very blessed to live so close to the Sea! Very happy to know you like Craig's music too :) Thanks so much Noralee
What a gorgeous day on the beach with you two. Thanks for all the wave time that you shared -- so soothing on the sands and the wind behaved itself. A pleasure to share the Pure Sea Glass book with you. Enjoy. xx Karen
Thanks ever so much again for the book - it's jam packed full of info and I am really looking forward to reading every single page :) Glad you enjoyed the moments of peace with the waves! We sometimes have to remind ourselves to take some time to look up or even just sit on a rock to be mindful of the Sea. x
@@scottishmudlarking You are so right about reminding ourselves to be mindful. It's so easy to get caught up that we forget to appreciate what is in front of us. Glad you really like the book -- I have found it invaluable for identification and have read it cover to cover many times. Richard certainly did a marvelous job. He was truly a pioneer in this field for us sea glass lovers with his knowledge of bottles and glassware. Lovely!
Hello there, loved the face or mask on the piece of pottery, reminded me of tattooing. Looks great as a necklace. Big skies, sunshine and lovely editing as always. Have a great week, love to both, Josie and Andy 😃
You are right - the face does look like a tattoo! It was such a great day with lots of sunshine :) Enjoy your week in sunny Brighton! Much love to you both

The sea gives up beautiful sea glass shells and stones another great video.
Thanks so much Susan! We love searching for those little treasures :) It's very calming to just sit and sift through shells... Very glad you enjoyed the video
Another awesome video and crafting, god bless and stay safe and well please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺
Thanks so much Chris! We always keep well away from anyone and have done since March last year... So lovely to hear you enjoy the crafting and the beach time :) Take care
Your not the Lady of the Lake or the Loch, but you might be:)
Standing on the shore communing with the sea and sky... very peaceful
Soon, you'll both be able to venture to the Highlands again...won't that be nice:)
Cape May Diamonds!,
I'm from the New Jersey Shore although I now live in Ferndale, Washington State.
Cape May is a lovely place and my wife Suzan and I have spent many days birdwatching and walking the beaches,
but alas we've never found a Diamond.
We had our honeymoon at Wildwood Crest, just north of the Cape .
It's beaches are wide but we don't have your tides.
Thank you for the memories:)
Scotland and Golfing... of course, that's really a no brainer!
Regarding Smartees adhesives, I spent many years as a picture framer and made a lot of Shadow Boxes with all kinds of artifacts, cloth to coins to collectables ,ribbons...
you name it.
The best glue for me was Silicone, which not only holds most everything rough or slick to the backing, but being a bit flexible , acts as a shock absorber if the piece is bumped.
But most important is the fact that the adhesive can be removed without damaging the object.
I was a bit longwinded today, but I just couldn't help commenting.
Cheers,
Rik
Hello! We're slow responders this week! Thank you so much - not long winded at all, and what a great tip! The silicone adhesive is an awesome idea, and would work great with these wee lids!
I searched for Cape May online - wow! It looks lovely there! What a lovely place to spend time in... We'll cross our fingers that a diamond finds you one day! :D
Yes! Its very exciting - now that we can travel much further than before, we're making some plans. I reckon we will leave it a few weeks to allow things to settle - we have a few places we really want to get back to! :D
Ah, the sea and sky... its easy to get lost somewhere between them on a good day! :D
Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Hya Craig and Nicole, thanks for another great video. I love the Smartie info, so interesting. The ghoulish face was a great find, and makes a nice pendant. I look forward to watching next Friday xx
Hi Alison! :D Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the smarties - its amazing what you can find out when you dig into a topic... I was struck the moment I realised just how old they were!
That pottery piece was so cool! :D xo
Love the smarties lid shadow box idea 👍🏻xx
It looks really cool - so glad you like it! I just looked to see what a Hirst dot painting costs! Blimey! LOL Best wishes and good luck larking! :D xo
Thanks again for a great outing! Happy days!😊
Thanks so much Sherry :) Very glad you enjoyed the video! It's getting sunnier here in Scotland, so hopefully we can swap the winter jacket for the summer one soon...
Thank YOU both for such a fun and refreshing video. I love your beachcombing and tip explorations. And watching Nicole make jewelry at the end is a treat, as I get lots of inspiration from her creations. You are two of the most cheerful and uplifting personalities - I enjoy your banter and smiles!
Thank you ever so much Diane! That's such a kind comment, we truly appreciate it :) Nicole & Craig
Wonderful photography and filming ! Beautiful seascapes and so interesting too ! Many thanks !
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it. Best wishes, xo
Jane, you are so right... its so relaxing watching your videos.. love your content.. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much Mark 😃 very lovely of you to say!
Love your little bottles filled with shells!
Thank you! We thought they'd be very sweet! :D xo
your videos are lovely pieces of art in all respects.......i love living in the desert but i so miss the sea. i get to hear it in your background sounds and i remember.......
That is so very kind, thank you so much! I only once lived more than 30 mins from the sea - I have to admit, I found that difficult! So glad you enjoy those sounds... We have something coming up you might enjoy! We'll announce it in the community section when we work out how best post it. :D
Best wishes, :D xo
You are so blessed to live near to the sea xx
Thanks so much Sue! We do feel very blessed, living only 15 minutes away from the Sea, either the river Tay or the Forth :)
Love your videos they are so relaxing! I received the white sea glass bead bracelet. It is so beautiful, my mother-in-law will love her mother's day gift. She is Scottish so I know she'll be surprised! Thanks Nicole for making it!
Thank you so much! Its very kind of you to say so, so glad you like it and that you enjoy the videos - what a lovely thoughtful gift for your mother... a wee bit of Scotland! Best wishes :D xo
Oh my😲😁, looked like another fabulous day at Lundin Links🙌🏻!!! The sun makes it look deceptively warm, but Nicole's coat speaks volumes to the contrary 😁🤭.
Reading the comments, alot of your TH-cam family came up with some great guesses👍🏻. Poseidon, Marley and Bacchus👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I'm inclined to agree with Gill on it being a "not so happy" visage of Bacchus the God of wine/intoxication 🤔. Although with that grimace it looks like the morning after ending up in his cups. YIKES!!!😬🤣🤭. He makes quite a fetching pendant...that one will definitely be a conversation starter for the person wearing it👍🏻. And the pendent with the lily🙌🏻. Faded to perfection making the picture look so delicate 🥰.
All those tiny sea shells(a beach 🏖️ in a bottle would be heavenly 😍)...and the white smooth stones... they're called Cape diamonds in the US you say🤔. I'm going to have to Google them and their provenance👩🏼💻🖱️.
So lovely and lucky to have that stretch of beach on the coast line to yourselves 🙌🏻. Especially not having to edit out "video bombers" caught on camera wandering into view🤦🏼♀️.
Blessings to you and your family and friends. 🤞🏻 And truly hoping the lockdown lifting is going well for ALL our friends across the pond.
Thank you for another 👍🏻 amazing day at the shore and video.☺️🤗🤭😘
Lundin Links is such a lovely spot... and that beach! It just keeps going!! Haha! Yes the enigma of Scottish weather... sun is out, it could be freezing! The clouds have settled back down on the hill-tops today, but they will lift soon and we might get heat as well as sunshine!
Haha! Bacchus first thing in the morning! Ouch! That certainly would explain the expression! :D It is a striking piece - I wish we found pieces like that more often, though the lily is the other side of the coin - just a very pretty wee piece, perfect in its own way! :D
The term "Cape My Diamonds", they are really lovely but often clearer than the quartz we found... Cape May looks very pretty too!
Its so funny, a few people have asked, why there are so few people at the beach... Its true to say that the beaches of Fife do not get the attention they deserve, and that Scottish weather can be a little off-putting for a lot of folks... but that suits us very well! We also like to go at awkward times of the day, when we know there will only be a few dog walkers... It is a great privilege to have so much wonderful space. :D
Thank you so much... lock down is easing here, though we are not making many changes just yet... We hope things are beginning to look good for you in the States. xo
Its a day for the wellies today... we're off to stroll around in a river! :D
Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Yes, a really evil face!! Strange that someone can have eat or drinked from that one! Nice area down at the seaside. Thank`s for the tour.
Thank you so much!! Glad you liked the video - yes, I think it would be a little odd to look at a plate of food and see that face looking back at you! haha!! :D xo
@@scottishmudlarking :-) Yeah, I think I had lost my apetite he he...Thank`s for answering. You are such a nice kind couple.
@@kastah So kind, thank you! :D
Oh my so many nice pottery pieces
Thank you! It was a lucky day... we did not expect to find anything like that blue and white piece! :D Best wishes xo
@@scottishmudlarking I sure was a perfect piece. I have gone back through the different pieces we have save over the years. I am so surprised at what we have, so much fun
Yes it’s always good to double check your collection 😃 we have re-found so many nice pieces when double checking !
46 pieces. A really good find that evil face! Maybe keep a wooden stake handy!
It was 142 😃 drop us an email at scottishmudlarking@gmail.com for an extra ticket if you like 😊
Hello! I think I can help some with the bit of pottery- not an ID of an existing plate unfortunately. I'm pretty sure what is being shown is a representation of a roman theater mask. The leaves make me think of tragedy and comedy, but you can see the somewhat grotesque features in most roman theater masks. I would recommend looking at the mosaic of a theater mask from the House of the Faun in Pompeii, for a mask showing the leaves I would recommend the mosaic from the House of the Tragic Poet.
i wondered about the theater reference myself but i don't have your knowledge. cool.
I thought it looked like a Victorian interpretation of a Greek theater mask, and the tragedy face.
Very cool! Great pointer - I took your suggestion and looked at a Roman and Greek theater masks... they really do have that look, and it accounts for the open mouth too! Awesome suggestions... it certainly looks very much like it!
Thank you so much! :D xo
Big thumbs up! Thank you so much! :D xo
Mention of the theatre mask really rings a bell! It may well be an artistic interpretation designed to go around the rim of a plate with a classical scene in the centre! Oh! We wish there was a bigger piece! Great thinking! Thank you so much! xo
05:05 I actually gasped when Craig pointed the camera at that piece of blue & white. What a find!! You'll have to go some to top that. ;)
Thanks so much Noralee :) It will be very difficult to top that face pottery piece!! We have never found anything like it before... We have found pictorial pieces with people and dogs but never a face like that!!
At first I thought you wouldn't find much on the beach. But in fact you've found amazing treasures! Especially the piece of pottery Craig found. 😍
And the jewellery is gorgeous as always! Your so creative Nicole!😘
Really loved the explanation about the smarties lids. Never knew that all about them.
Thank you so much for taking me and many others to this beautiful beach, it's highly appreciated!
Sending lots of love from the Netherlands. ❤ xoxo
Well you are right, this particular beach does not have much sea glass or pottery, but it does have lots of shells :) And a lovely wide stretch of sand where you can walk. We are hoping to walk along the coast to the end of the bay you can see soon!! So lovely to hear you like the jewellery! We are on a quest now - get all the letters of the alphabet in Smartie lids!! Much love from Scotland !
Thank you again for bringing peace and tranquility into my soul. Loved all the seascape sounds and video, just to listen to the ocean and watch the waves is the best medicine. You've inspired me to go to the beach and dip my feet into the ocean and chill out. As always a wonderful video, Oh I do love that heart bracelet, Nicole, it's gorgeous. Take care, stay well and healthy. Love Dena. x
Hello and, as always, thank you so much! :D The sound of the sea is so relaxing! We have a few ideas coming up that you might enjoy - we're just trying to find the best way to make them public! :D Hope you get along to the beach soon... its been days since we've been! We've spent most of last week in a burn (Scots for a small river)! :D Stay safe and well - best wishes xo
I remember when they got rid of the blue smarties when i was a kid, all of us were so mad about it lol
Haha! yes, I remember when colourings were the big worry - I only just read that the blue was replaced with a white smartie! That news kinda blew my mind because I am positive I had white smarties when I was a kid!
Thank you so much! :D xo
I recently found an orange Smarties lid with the letter K on it, I kept it for nostalgia but after this I will be actively looking for them! Lovely video 😀 x
Oh! The nostalgia - its amazing what a wee bit of plastic can conjure up! Thank you so much! :D xo
I have a bottle of wee blues, and there must be more than we think. Going to guess 132.
Oh, quartz has a larger crystal structure, they can be quite sparkly sometimes .♡
Congratulations Jo!! There were 142 pieces - please email us by Thursday so we can send you a link to register for the zoom chat - email : scottishmudlarking@gmail.com - if you can't take part or no longer wish to come along please let us know so we can offer your space to the runner up :)
@@scottishmudlarking thank you! How exciting!! Just sent you an email. ♡
Enjoyed the walk along the beach and that huge, washed sky. The face on the pottery find was intriguing, possibly Greek origin in design. Sue and Ian, Australia
On a good day, the Scottish coast is hard to beat... we could use a wee bit additional warmth, that you have in abundance! :D So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
A spooky piece of pottery, pretty shells, beautiful jewellery. Fabulous video ❤
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! :D xo
Another great video, thanks.
The time difference rules me out of the competition, but just for fun: 33 pieces!

Love that beach in a shell collection. Would love to come across something like that. I just got back from Sanibel Florida. I had fabulous luck one day at low tide, but collectors were crawling all over each other. Still I love the sound of the waves, which believe it or not sound a bit different than the tides in Florida. Go figure. 38:26 bottom right, fossil or raised tile, it is tan and brown, just left of the logo? Great weather on your private beach.
Oh! We say it so often, but we are so incredibly lucky to live where we do and have the space that we have around us! Aside from the odd dog walker, it was such a quiet day and the weather is just moving into Spring! Lucky! Very lucky!
So glad yo hear you had a good day and hopefully a really nice break in Sanibel! Strange to think waves have an accent! :D Its funny, we are between two large rivers, though this one, the Forth, is full of force... the other, the Tay, is usually very calm and flat!
I couldn't see the piece, but I'll have a closer look later!
Cheers for now! Thank you co much! :D xo
I love every aspect to your videos...so gentle and educational and beautiful.
Could you tell me where you purchase your sterling silver jewellery findings from please... there are so many on searching but I’d rather go from recommendation and the designs of the ones you use are stunning... especially the one around the cod bottle marble. Thank you,x
Thanks so much Carole! Very nice to hear you enjoy all aspects of our videos :) Glad you like the jewellery making x
I always find these silvery glimmering stones at the beaches of west jütland in Denmark
Oh! How cool! We must find out what that shiny element is - they look really lovely! Greetings from across the sea in Scotland! :D Thank you so much! xo
@@scottishmudlarking ihave to find my book from Denmark about pebbles at the beach. I am sure it was shown in it with the name of the rock
Hi, thanks for the lovely visit to Lundinlinks and all the interesting info 👍, could those silvery bits of rock be Schist rock?? Have a great week.
Thank you so much for coming along! Its a lovely spot! I'd not heard the term schist rock - gave it s a look and, it certainly has that look about it! Great! Thank you! :D You too, have a great week! xo
You make such beautiful jewelry from a simple piece of pottery !
Very kind, thank you so much! :D xo
36 pieces ( I wanted to write 46) but since I will be 36 this year we will go with that
It was 142 😃 drop us an email at scottishmudlarking@gmail.com for an extra ticket if you like 😊
My immediate thought was Bacchus/Dionysus for that face. Definitely looks like he is wearing the traditional laurel wreath. Do let us know if you find out what he is please :)
Very cool! I just searched and there are a few representations of Bacchus with a very similar expression! We'll keep trying to find an exact piece of matching pottery and if/when we do, we'll certainly let you know! :D Thank you so much! xo
@Scottish Mudlarking. Hi Nicole and Craig! I immediately thought of Japanese kabuki masks when I saw the face on the plate, even though the colours aren’t the same - the expression is! Also, would you be able to tell us about Craig’s tattoo’s above the elbows - they are very unusual! Keep up the great work guys, really enjoy your videos!
Hi Ostrov! That face really does have that theatrical look about it... We didn't see it but a few comments have pointed in that direction and it certainly looks like it is that kind of an image! That expression is very Kabuki!
Ok, so, those tattoos began in New Zealand, in 2003, with just a solid O on the left arm and a I on the right. Several years later I had an Edinburgh tattooist continue the pattern to make two armbands. So, the idea behind them - I am fascinated by symmetry and asymmetry and I wondered if both could be present at the same time! I began with binary O I and then decided to alternate outline/filled so that the left arm is filled Os and outlined Is and the right arm is filled Is and outlined Os... The idea is that each of the binary figures is equally binary, symmetric and asymmetric - if that makes sense - so it means (to me, if no one else) infinite possibility and the limitlessness of meanings. It is a figurative representation of an idea I fixate on! haha!
Thank you so much! Best wishes xo
@@scottishmudlarking so neat! I was wondering if they were symbolic in that way, especially since I noticed they were filled in but in opposite ways. I find tattoos fascinating, but have none, since I could never decide on something permanent. I know I would tire of it within a decade at the very least! Stay healthy, Nicole and Craig!
Anytime I get a tattoo it has to have meaning but I do take years to decide on a design 😃
u two r so creative! thx so much!
Oh! Thank you so much! That's lovely! :D xo
Cape May is in the United States in the state of New Jersey.
Very many thanks... I've since looked and, wow! What a lovely place! :D xo
Love watching your chanel.
Hope I've got the correct Karyn 🤞🏻🤔. That is an amazing looking book 😲!!! So wonderfully kind of you to gift it to our special friends 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
We all have the most AMAZING TH-cam "Scottish Mudlarking" family 🙌🏻. I truly love reading everyone's lovely comments 🤗.
That's so very kind of you to say Karyn! :) Thanks ever so much
The lovely Karen aka Salish Sea Quest was the mermaid mail sender :) The book is fab! We do feel very blessed with our lovely youtube family x
Feldspar holds stones together
Interesting factoid :) Thanks so much Mars
Me again, my guess for the blue glass bottle is 42 lol xx
the answer to the question of life, the universe, and everything! funny how my phone already knew that.
It was 142 😃 drop us an email at scottishmudlarking@gmail.com for an extra ticket if you like 😊
The face could be part of a family crest medallion. Nicole White found one and explains what it is all about
Sounds fascinating! This piece is from a plate, on the reverse you can see the half moon shaped line :) Thanks so much
Hello Nicole and Creg,
I think there are 43 Seaglass pieces in this small bottle. Hopefully my guess is right.
It was 142 😃 drop us an email at scottishmudlarking@gmail.com for an extra ticket if you like 😊
Thanks Nicole and Craig for your video 👍☺ I'll be sure to look out for smarties lids now when I go to the beach next 😊
Thank you for coming along! So glad you enjoyed the video! Smarties lids are a fun find and its just great to have them off the shores! We found it a little mindblowing to consider their age... Good luck and we hope you have some great finds! :D xo
Love watching you both!😊
Yay! Thank you!
How do you get holes in the China or glass with out cracking them love the videos just subbed
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the video... we have a video (apologies in advance for the music) where we collect materials for a wind-catcher... that has a tutorial/guide to drilling glass, pottery and sea shells. Nicole uses a rotary tool with small diamond tipped drill pieces.
This link should work... :D xo

Very cool scary pottery face!!
Find of the day! :D Thank you so much! xo
Hello from Austin, Texas 👋👋
I just came across your video on You Tube and I love Mudlarkers. You are the first ones I have found from Scotland. I enjoyed your video and you are such a charming couple.
Hello from Fife, Scotland! Thank you so much! So glad you found us! :D That is very kind of you, we hope you enjoy seeing more of the places around us - we are so lucky to live between two big rivers, it gives us so many miles of beautiful coast to visit! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo :D
A senhora cria jóias muito bonitas isso é muito bonito 😸 amo o da seus vídeos 😍
Thanks so much Bernardete :) Lovely to hear you like the jewellery we make with our beach finds! Glad you enjoy our videos!
@2:24, if I had to guess, it would be serpentinite or magnetite. Fun episode!❤😊
Could also be gabbro.
Oh interesting! Love hearing about stones :) x
I'm gonna go with 60 pieces in that bottle.
My guess for the Bottle of Blue Seaglass is 216
It was 142 😃 drop us an email at scottishmudlarking@gmail.com for an extra ticket if you like 😊
Interesting Smarties history! Thanks!
I think the face pottery looks like Lord Voldermort, or a Death Eater from Harry Potter! I’m sure that it is much older than that though! How creepy that someone would have eaten off that!
Glad you enjoyed the Smarties - its amazing to think how long they hang around!
haha! yes! It certainly fits the bill for Voldermort! It is an odd thought to have that face looking back at you while you enjoy a nice bite to eat! Thank you so much! :D xo
The heart shaped could be mica, but dont take my word for it.
Hmm it might be mica!
why did they all quit coming to the ocean? seems like a nice place to be on a hot day. i would say 90 shells

Hope you got our email with the step by step instructions so we can see you tomorrow 😃
i have tried to find the email and i cant find it😭😭😭
im so sorry i did try to get things right but i messed it all up please forgive me
Is it Neptune on the blue an white transfer piece withe the face!
It might be Neptune Donna!
Do you have a link for your pinch bails?
Thanks so much Carol. Glad you like the jewellery :)
Some American Indians used purple shells as “money”; wampum.
Very cool! I remember reading about 'wampum belts' a long time ago, but I'd completely forgotten about shells being part of them! Thank you so much! I'm going to do a wee bit of reading up on them to remind myself! :D xo
of all the beach combing you both do im surprised you have researched sharks teeth!!!! that would also make great jelwery;];];]
Oh! It really would! A sharks tooth would be a great find! We get a lot of porpoise, seals and such, but not so many sharks... The most common in Scotland is the basking shark, which is a filter feeder, but we do get a few with teeth! A species of Mako has been sighted in British waters!
Thank you so much! :D xo
@@scottishmudlarking it might be worth taking a screen box with you to sift the sands to find some i bet there are in the shells;];];]
@@pattylevasseur4041 I know I'll be looking extra carefully for them next time! :D
I think there is 311 pieces in the bottle

The white pebles are milky quartz
They are so lovely and smooth !
You found a plate shard from The Planet of the Apes 😂🤣

I want the heart necklace
Thanks so much Frankie :) It's a bracelet at the moment but I can make it into a necklace if you like! Just drop us a wee message on our etsy shop scottishmudlarking.ets.com Many thanks
@@scottishmudlarking That would be great. I want to give it to my daughter who’s birthstone is aquamarine, and she collects stones she finds that are shaped like hearts. I know she would absolutely love that piece of sea glass in a necklace. Just let me know when it is available. I did see where you had another one on Etsy but I love the color and the design on the one in your latest find. Thank you so so much.
@@frankiefann9297 I have changed the listing into a custom order for you for a necklace - here is the link www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1006207617/custom-order-for-frankie-scottish-light?ref=shop_home_active_5&frs=1 :) Thanks so much!!
@@scottishmudlarking Again , I want to thank you so much. I enjoy watching your channel and seeing you change your finds into beautiful jewelry.
The whole process is just amazing from the scenery to the history then to the finds and last but definitely first the jewelry making. Thank you again for doing this.
So very kind of you to say Frankie ❤️

What a strange and interesting piece of pottery. I would say something to do with Greek mythology.
That piece of pottery would be awesome on a necklace.
I think you are right - it really has that look about it! Thank you so much! :D xo
Thank you so much! It is indeed now a necklace and it looks fantastic! :D xo

This is supposed to be mudlarking not watch the waves
Aren't we lucky, they're showing us both!
The surroundings are part of the mudlarking experience, just chill out and enjoy!
Many thanks! We made a choice when we started our channel, nearly a year ago, that we would do things a wee bit different. We wanted to share a little of the place we live - that's why we do short snippets of history or something about a local person in the past, and its why we try to share a little of the beauty in the place we live. We usually include a time strip with each video - its in the description unless we ran out of time that week - so please do skip over any sections you do not enjoy. We plan to keep doing the environmental sections because very many people have told us that they find them enjoyable, peaceful and relaxing.
Best wishes xo
So glad you enjoy it! We've always tried to share a wee bit of the beauty and calm in the places we go! :D xo
Yes indeed, that's exactly how we feel about it... the place is part of the story! :D Thank you! xo
