My husband thoroughly enjoys watching your larking videos. Our 3 year old, Gloria, has taken up the interest in watching your shows as well… she seems to have a fascination in listening to your pleasant voices as you search. You should consider doing story book readings for small children once and a while, maybe… on one of your other venues? My husband says your voices have a relaxing effect as he watches your larking.
You can make a wind chime with the wine bottle with the bottom out of it ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🗝️
The history of those porcelian flowers was so bittersweet..that they survived all this time,and the lovely dove, is truly touching.Great finds today.loved coming home to this today!
WOW the Immortelles are interesting, beautiful, and sentimental. What a lovely find.
I couldn't agree more - interesting, beautiful, and sentimental, that someone has gone to the trouble to have it made for someone they obviously loved very much ❤🇦🇺
Immortelles such as the little flowers you found, were usually painted in bright colours.
They were used because they would last longer than real/organic floral wreaths and arrangements , and maintain a colourful presence at the grave of a loved one.
They were very popular in the Victorian and the Edwardian eras.
Think of them as the Victorian equivalent to plastic flowers but kind of fancier in cases.
A brightly and realistically painted porcelain wreath must have been a very beautiful sight to see when strolling around a cemetery. Also very different from the “dome” style decoration.
I could imagine that, just like most products, they would have come in different levels of quality and price.
I’ve read about porcelain wreaths being discovered by people when they were restoring and cleaning vegetation away from old graves - some still had their colours due to being made of quality kiln fired porcelain and glazes. How amazing would that be to find?
Looking online, some of these wreaths were (and still are) absolutely beautiful. Their survival, although found underneath overgrown vegetation, is such a testament to not only their quality, but the care and respect taken by the people attending to the grave back in the day.
I’ve really enjoyed learning about these, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with me here, very much appreciated.
I might have gone on believing that these were cake decorations and/or cake candle holders. 😳
Thanks again ❤
🙂🐿🌈❤️
I didn’t want the video to end! I could watch you ladies all day!! ❤️
I'm absolutely loving your new format, lovely ladies. The chatter and long shots made me feel like I was sitting there watching you. And I enjoy the jumping back and forth. Each story was interesting and then I got to join the lark again... Yay! Engaging, entertaining, interesting and fun.
Thanks for the lark 😊
"She's just a little rough around the bonnet ... aren't we all?" lol! Gail you're such a hoot!
When I was a kid hunting agates in our creek, I called it dislocating your eyes so I could see a larger area and spot rocks that did not blend in.. 😊
I do too.
It's like you've got the go cross-eyed for a bit before your eyes can focus on actually finding. Your mind resets, relaxs and becomes more aware of everything in 'this' space. All of the 'stuff' that clutters it up with noise and flashing images disappears.
And you take a deep breath...
The small lid could even have been a snuff box…Those flowers in the domes.I have actually seen a few,the ones I saw had been painted and looked like real flowers,they were very pretty,the trouble with them was if they got knocked or hit with a tiny stone that got through the metal cage,the glass would be compromised and it would get damp and misty inside,which spoilt them. You had some nice finds today !that water looked fast and cold though.Thanks for taking us along ,Love n Light 🥰
Very well done again. Nice hunt. A few thoughts for the Baka lite comb. I’m obviously a letter opener. More crafty could be tiny sea glass glued in the gaps of the comb, possibly lit by a candle behind, or a decorative holiday wall hanging. I thought the long bottle would make a fine funnel, or plant watering ( funnel) to water for a few days. The funnel bottle could be fashioned with a wire mesh basket inside to help filter and clean things. Just spit ballin’ You are my favorite to watch. Such great editing. I enjoy the scenery and music in between. Very enjoyable time for me. Thank you
Oh I’m so jealous of the Immortelle, I collect Victorian funeral and mourning items and I would TREASURE something like that!
That is a Minie' bullet often called a Mini ball. Dates back to the 1860's. Extensively used by the Union Forces in the American Civil War. That is called a 3 ringer, in collectors terms. They were more accurate than round ball. Fired from a rifled black powder musket, as opposed to a smooth bore musket. Likely 58 caliber. The piece with Kitchener on it could possibly be the sliding lid to a snuff box?
Love your channel. Broke my heart that you couldn’t take that gorgeous big art nouveau tile. (Always take a bag. 💕💕💕) 💕🇨🇦
The Oddish chrome-like thing Alex found looks like a music holder. Like for someone in a marching band.
Such a pretty mother and daughter team. You are both so sweet. The perfect English lasses.
Well you must recreate a Immortelle now! What amazing things, never knew they existed.
It really showed how people loved their ancestors. What a way to honor and respect their loved ones. Really loved these find. Wonderful!
Hello Gail and Alex! Loved all the amazing finds. It's the thrill of the hunt and not knowing what treasures will be discovered that brings you back for more, how fun and exciting! Have a wonderful week ladies...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!🤗💙
As soon as you said the shop was open I went straight there. Sadly only a few pieces of jewellery were left. Good for you! Love your crafting and your show.
They are not vulgar. They are beautiful.
I thought the “teapot spout” was like a pie bird to let the steam escape. I wish I could watch one of your mudlarks every day!❤TN Nana
That’s just what I thought, too!
Almost 100,000... can't wait to see the plaque in the window...🤗🤗🤗
So exciting! 🙌
❤Luv ya bunches @Alex and @Gail❤
I love watching you finding all these tiny treasures I always enjoyed lookin for arrow heads and found 2 tomahawks and broken pottery ❤😊
Love your adventures ❤
Hi Ladies! Looking forward to seeing what treasures you are going to find! 🤗
I love the word ‘busty crutton’ it makes me smile.☺️had to edit and add ‘ burly swedes’!
I can associate with that Gail..being rough around the bonnet!😂
Lovely interesting video. Thank you so much.👍☺️💐
I’ve never heard of immortals before but I really love them!
An especially lovely show today. I sure enjoyed it.
That was an amazing larking video with so many great finds! I loved the gorgeous tile that Gail found (and apparently hid) as it was not in the roundup. Thank you both for all your hard work!! I hope you know how much you are appreciated!! Best wishes to you!! 💖💖
The odd item at 33.40 is a victorian skirt lifter . There are many designs and that one is one of the simplest.
Thx great info 🎉
my thoughts exactly :)
Oh my word, you are right!
Im so glad you both have bikes to go together. The bikes are beautiful. Good to see you out instead of working so hard. You deserve a break.
Beautiful finds, ladies! I quite enjoyed your adventures!❤
I love the porcelain flowers from the old grave bouquet, a bit sad but so delicate.
That beautiful little green bottle would look lovely on a sunny window sill
Shaking hands: “Seeing two hands clasped together can illustrate shaking hands or holding hands, depending on the position of the thumbs. A handshake can mean a greeting to eternal life. If clasped hands have different cuffs, it could indicate a bond between the deceased and a spouse or relative. If one hand is higher than the other, it could also mean that a person is being welcomed by a loved one or a higher power. The hand engraving grew into wide use during the Victorian age.”
Thanks for the adventure. Like the way when you find an unusual object you can do a research and report back, and then go back to site to find more. The history of the little flowers was the best.
I have never heard of 'Immortelles', that's absolutely fascinating! Lovely video Ladies 😁💖x
I think the immortelles Are beautiful
Alex needs to cast the top of that little pill box, that would make a really cool cabochon I think... I hope Gail goes back for that heavy tile, it was gorgeous!
So many beautiful pieces of glass I see in the background that you don't pick up. I love the glass.
As always such a great outing, I found the music particularly beautiful today. You make me smile and loose myself into the event. Thank you again.❤
I love the children's book " The Wonky Donkey." I laughed and laughed trying to read it to them.
Please who is the author? I love a good childrens book.( retired elementary teacher)
@@ceceliakeown5653 gave the book away. You can Google it. Got the last copy's at Wal Mart.
I love this format!
Those little porcelain flowers are exquisite! You always find nice finds there!
birdie swede here! wTCHING WITH INTEREST !!
Haha! Yes! 🙌🫶🏻
Love watching you from El Paso, Texas.
Great luck on the foreshore ladies those ceramic flowers would make a unique addition to a Christmas wreath and that pewter box cover would be a cool pendent thanks for bringing us along Karl from eastern Canada
Yes! I will be so happy to watch your channel get 100K!!! 🌸V thank you for another fun mudlark…
Grape shot and mini ball WOW!
It's so nice seeing you ladies. I so appreciate all the great treasures you find. It's like I find them also.
Interesting, informative and fun. I’ve now entered the realm of spoonerisms 🤣. Thank you for a lovely video ❤️
Hola Gail y Alex ,muy emocionante salir en búsqueda de tesoros lo disfruto mucho ❤.Bendiciones para ustedes 👏👏👏👏😊🥰
I love it when you find porcelain dolls. I wonder who owned them last and how they ended up in the mud.
The bottomless wine bottle would look nice with a candle under it.
Alex you remind of myself 30 yrs. Ago crawling under manzanita bushes in old dumps my hair being pulled,my arms being scratched,my fingers being cut,yet I still crawled for the one last treasure!❤
I love how you still find beauty in the cracked, bashed, rusty, crusty, bits!!! The history of the imortelles was wonderful!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
That bakelite comb, would be great antlers 🦌
Oh yes!
That little donkey , 🫏 would make a good Christmas tree decoration . Lovely as ever , thank you both 🙏
Oh it would..good idea! The precious little donkey that carried Mary and EMANUEL.
Lovely finds, all so interesting and intriguing. The teapot type spout thing is definitely a pourer that fits into the top of a bottle, possibly for oil, stops drips. Would love to know what the metal brass clamp type thing is if you find out ! The river looks so clean and clear. ❤
Yes it probably had cork or rubber around the part you insert into the bottle.
Great finds ladies! Loved the musket ball, minnie ball bullet and all the assorted pieces from your journey. Thank you for taking us all along on the journey.😊
Those bird pottery will be great as brooches ❤
I love watching your videos the most because I have a great time watching and listening and learning about the history we don't learn in school. Thank you for yet another enjoyable trip to the foreshore. 🎉
nice finds ladies ,When Gail proclaimed the donkey as being Wonky I had to giggle 😆 . the children's story of the cranky stinky dinky lanky honkey tonkey winky wonky donkey
Really interesting about the porcelain items!
I love what you doing, I wish I could be there ,good luck at finding your wish.🤗🤗🤗😉
So much fun, what a good lark! Do you ever go back and see things on the video that you missed? I sometimes see things when you ask if we can spot the find and you go for something else. Thanks again ladies!
smashing finds . loved the dolly
My hubs retires in a few years and he's promised me an Ancestral Tour. I'll have to come meet yall when we hit Scotland! My Dad was descendant of the Stuart's on his Dad's side and MacGregor on his Moms. I cannot wait!
Burly Swedes is my new favorite 😂
You could make a wind chimes with the Flores and dove from the funeral decorations
Thats a nice idea. I d like to see a wreath most of all.
Hello when my sister comes to visit we watch your videos I called her the other day she said I'm watching The Northern Mudlarkers she is hooked.
Aww🥰🫶🏻
Hello Gail and Alex. Gail, you probably already have found out what the name on the first glass stopple bopper you found is, but it says Holbrook and Co. Loved the video. My guess for how many Modd Carbles are in your jar for this year so far is: 67. I loved the "wonky donkey" head, he's so charmingly wonky and endearing. I hope you have since gone back to retrieve the pretty tile you were going to hide in the bushes. I think the Immortelles are a bit tacky, but more environmentally friendly than modern Styrofoam and plastic flower wreaths. Alex, I think you could take the large, round and gorgeous broken stopper and use it as a Christmas tree ornament, or make it into a hot air balloon light catcher to hang over the windowsill of wonders, or it could also be cleaned, sanitized and used to decorate cookies with its criss-cross pattern stamped into the dough. Lots of lovely finds today ladies. Greetings to you from me in eastern North Carolina. ❤😊❤
Immortals...how interesting. Never heard of them before
125 cod marbles! Lits of great finds on this one!
Love the hunt was a great day
Some very interesting finds ladies. Plus always some history that always keeps my interest. The little white flowers, clasping hands and dove for example. I've never seen these type of grave goods before. I doubt they would last in todays climate. They would surely go missing, sadly.
How sad that someones grave had these things removed and ended up in the waste.
I'm glad you ladies have found many of them and will i hope, make something beautiful with them.
That box lid thing was so detailed. I hope someone knows who it represents and what it was. I think your probably right with your guess though Alex.
I also loved the pretty pottery pieces you found Gail. The birds were beautiful. What lovely things they must have been when whole.
Thanks for taking us along. Very enjoyable. 😊xx
That thing with the two little discs on the end is probably part of a victorian skirt lifter. ❤
Beautiful music I love classical ❤
Dear lovely Morthern Nudlarking Ladies.
Amongst all the spoonerism I love soooo much, one question popped up: Is finding armless dolls harmless? 😁 ;-)
Rest begards, huck and lealth in cartipular.
I always enjoy following you ladies as you find treasures. And when you craft the things you make are always beautiful.
How nice those porcelain flowers look have you thought they might belong to a grave in the cave.
Well another great adventure with you two, thanks for letting us tag along!
A great haul!!
Another amazing video ladies, loved all your finds. The metal object you found is a Victorian skirt lifter, it probably hug on a chatelaine belt.
I don't think it's a full day without watching one of your videos! What a bright spot in a gloomy early-Winter day! Keep those beads and pipe bowls coming! Oh and that circular thing Alex found, could it be part of an old doorbell assembly?
The metal object looks like a clapper from a bell. ❤
Fabulous!❤❤❤ ❤🇺🇸
My two favourite ladies and my favourite channel along with your other one. So glad There’s a new vid I can settle down and watch and relax with a nice cuppa. You two are fantastic.
Lovely Ladies you made my day ☮️🦋🥰
The video quality is great
🎉 you could make suncatchers with those decanter toppers.
Over 30 years ago I lived in 12:47 Belchertown, MA USA. I found rolled balls there and they were found in the woods. We didn't know what they were. They didn't seem like marbles because of the rough outside. We called them Unicorn Balls. I still have around 8 U.B.s. Now I found from you that they are called Cog balls. The magic of computers have finally brought forth that they are not from Unicorns! 12:47
I loved the immortelles!I t would be so pretty to arrange the immortelles into a vertical assemblage with perhaps some bits of glass that you found and then put into a shadow box.
I guess 54 glass marbles. The tile is lovely. I hope you find it again next time.
I would love to do what you two do fun fun fun ❤❤❤❤
I never miss an episode I so much enjoy seeing you two young ladies every Sunday.Just an old man from Mississippi.
As soon as I saw the lead bullet, minie ball came to mind.
The concave part of the bullet was expanded by the pressure in the barrel to give it a tight seal, and allow the rifled barrel to impart spin.
I had never heard of the porcelain memorial arrangements before. How beautiful.
The large stopper....use as paper weight....don't leave it!
Revelling and Retrieving by the Riverside and finding a couple of bird's (feather type) not you fine ladies great video thanks
