5 Item Limit! NEW Bottle Tip Day!

[@lisaharner3720]

Such great finds today. The pocket pottery were lovely! Pocket finds aside, I admire you for sticking to your guns on the limit. I would have been revising the limit upwards by 1 or 2! Enjoy the week ahead. ❤

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Lisa! Yep pocket pottery is a new thing now ;) It helped to have only brought a small bag along so we didn't go over the limit !

[@w33lal]

It's an automatic gun noise from a farmers field that you're hearing Craig sounds like gunfire to scare the 🐦 from eating the new growth. I adore watching you guys. You make my Friday night 😀. Loved the finds, and to get your hands on fresh picks is really exciting. My favourite is the little refill bottles and the small jam jars ta would look so pretty with a fresh flower in them for spring. My love & blessings to you both ❤️ ♥️ Alex xxx

[@scottishmudlarking]

We have wee birds getting under the tiles in our place... I wonder if the neighbors would mind if I installed one!! LOL Thank you for that - We can stop ducking! lol So very, very glad you're enjoying the videos, so far this year... Oh! Those wee refills are lovely, the older ones with a slight blue tint in the glass are very nice... and, the jam jars! Love them! Very best wishes, hope all is very well, much love to you and yours.. Nicole & Craig xo

[@terriatwell4041]

Such great self-control to only take five items! I would have taken the glazed stoneware as well because it was so beautiful.

[@scottishmudlarking]

We loved that stoneware bottle too - our first one in that finish :) Thanks so much Terri!

[@christhompson4270]

Great choices and beautiful scenery. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️

[@scottishmudlarking]

It was good fun to set a limit...not sure we quite managed to stick to it exactly! Thank you so much, est wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@ruthabrahams7821]

You had so much self control, even though I think Nicole kind of ignored the limit when it came to patterned pottery 😉! And, I don’t blame you a bit, Nicole. The bird pendant that you made was exquisite! I really loved the shiny brown glazed pottery jar. You made great choices! I was relieved to hear that the gunfire was to scare the birds. Didn’t want you two in a dangerous situation. Take care, and thank you! 🙏❤️

[@scottishmudlarking]

Hahah Ruth it was so difficult to only take 5 and I was happy to sneak a few pieces of pottery into my pockets ( pocket pottery is a thing now ;) ) ! Yes the gunfire here is usually just automated to scare birds , so no need to worry xo

[@debrabrooks6138]

Beautiful finds! I loved the glazed stoneware bottle! If you want to get the "sick" off bottle you need to dip them it muriatic acid, it attacks calcium and lime build up. Such amazing pottery and patterns on the plates. I couldn't help but notice all those finds were in a true wild strawberry patch as well. the design on the glass jar I believe is either raspberry or blackberry plant. :) Awesome finds!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Debra! I've seen you can tumble bottles in oil and metal pieces for a week to get the sick off and restore them to their former glory too :) Muriatic acid - I've only heard of that for cleaning shells , thank you! Yep lots of wild strawberries!! :)

[@debrabrooks6138]

@@scottishmudlarking Yw, Actually Muriatic acid is also used to clean stones, fireplaces, as well as crystals and yep and seashells, also to clean swamp coolers in the desert.

[@daviddarrall9384]

Hello, I would have chosen the small glass bottle made in Wooden mold. Very unusual. Thank you.

[@scottishmudlarking]

In hindsight I would have taken that too David :)

[@ashlingofAsh7580]

I LOVE the stone wear and jam jars and tiny tiny bottles and course all blue ones.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much! The plain stoneware is simple but lovely at the same time - it has such a homely charm :)

[@susancousins8766]

Hi that was excellent finds! I would have taken the brown glazed stoneware and the light blue bottle you said when it was hot they put it in sand. Otherwise, Nicole picked great stuff! Nicely done 💜💜💜💜💜⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks ever so much Susan! In hindsight I should have taken the whittled and the blue wonly bottle.... maybe when we return there one day, they are still there?! :)

[@fairyacorn4854]

I would have taken more as there was nice things there. Loved te stoneware with the shiney glaze, don't think I have seen one like that before and I liked the the Roses jam jar with the lemon and orange on evenb though they were both screw tops. The pendants you made were great Nicole you're such a clever girl. Stay safe and thanks for the adventure.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much! We were so happy with that glazed stoneware bottle too - we hadn't seen one like it either :) Jam jars are always tempting, no matter how old... maybe because I am thinking about sitting at a table with the family and everyone tucking into the jam and talking to each other about their day...

[@christinekeay8456]

I love that little treacle glazed stoneware jar. The item you thought might be a pen is very similar to an old propelling pencil which was in my great-uncle’s bureau. Have DMd you some pictures. Mine is a golden colour , maybe brass, and the little collars slide it out from both ends to its full extent. 😍

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Christine! Yes that picture of the pen you dm'ed is exactly like our find :) Great id!! That brown glazed stoneware bottle was a very lovely find, bit different from any bottle we have found so far !

[@furnessborn]

I love watching the vids and seeing the finds as I can't physically do it myself. I love the little stone wares and the crazing on the toothpaste pots. Maybe one day I will buy some :)

[@scottishmudlarking]

So glad you can come along on these wee trips... the stoneware is lovely and great to find nice pieces, especially that glazed one - first one we have found just like it! Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@gabrielebehr563]

Was hätte ich mit nachhause genommen? Alles und noch viel mehr. Ich bewundere euch das ihr da so standhaft seid. Ich würde mit prallen Tüten nachhause kommen und mein Mann die Augen rollen und den Kopf schütteln 😁. Immer wieder bezaubernd die Bilder von den Schmuckstücken. Danke schön für das tolle Video.👍

[@scottishmudlarking]

Hhaha ja es hat geholfen, nur eine kleine Tasche mitzunehmen ;) Vielen Dank Gabriele !

[@karencross1964]

Love the sherd jewelry.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much Karen :)

[@anitawilhite]

I am from the states and I love watching these videos and seeing these wonderful finds. I love the little bottles and absolutely love the stone ware. Cracks and all. What finds you have.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Anita :) The stoneware is so simple and beautiful at the same time! x

[@hannahdickens8256]

Yes! I know many Americans are very interested in purchasing stoneware bottles 😊 including me

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much Hannah :) I've now listed a few mini and regular sized jam pots and a couple of stoneware bottles! x

[@tinacluff2793]

I like the shape of the glass jars at 12:42 and the top of a lamp(?) at 16:44.

[@scottishmudlarking]

We loved the lamp too - in hindsight.... maybe we should have taken it!

[@janelovesy2399]

Fantastic ! Thank you both ! I would have taken the small blue wonky bottle

[@scottishmudlarking]

Hmm I think in hindsight I would have taken that bottle too Jane :) Maybe it's still there....

[@rosemarietsutsumi1029]

With so many great finds, I could never have a five item limit.🌞🇺🇸

[@scottishmudlarking]

Oh it was so difficult to stick to the limit Rosemarie but it helped that I only brought a small bag ;)

[@doubledee7517]

Great upload 👌 wee vintage embossed bottles are so interesting but so are the plain pipe bowls. 😀

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much! Plain pipe bowls are lovely, so simple but nice! :)

[@joangeddes380]

Love the stoneware jars and bottles all of them specially if they can be painted 💙💙💙💜💜💜as looking for things I can paint ❤️❤️❤️🧡🧡🧡

[@joangeddes380]

Also liked the pipes 💛💛💛🤎🤎🤎

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much! We love the plain stoneware bottles too - great idea to paint them :) Do you use acrylic paint Joan?

[@scottishmudlarking]

Love pipes - especially with symbols on them!

[@joangeddes380]

@@scottishmudlarking yes and oil paints but just what I can get with little money I have 💙💙💙💜💜💜

[@rubadub4349]

Hi to you both keep up the good work I love the small inks I think they are so cute not found any hope to soon

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much! We love the small inks too - they look great in a window sill or filled with sea glass :)

[@sisD]

Loved the pagoda! ❤ There’s so much more I would of taken. Maybe you need another shelf at home. Music was awesome Craig. 🎸

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much Sissi! I was so happy the pottery piece was flat - I recall you likeing the pagoda in a previous video but the piece was convex :) I was struggling not to take every single piece!! So glad you enjoyed the video and the music too! x

[@florencelavorelsimon7930]

Splendid finds The glazed stonewear is specialy beautiful Enjoy your company as ever

[@scottishmudlarking]

It's such a lovely mottled effect on the brown glaze :) Thanks so much Florence !

[@leeespe448]

Hello, I lost everything off my phone qnd some things I never got back. I just found you again and resubscribed... happy to see you both still doing your adventures!! I also am interested in some of the stoneware and Jam pots, clay pots as I have had no luck finding any here intact in my location

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much for resubscribing Lee :) We have listed a few jam pots ( mini and large ) and stoneware bottles on our etsy shop - here is the link if you wish to have a wee peak .... www.etsy.com/shop/scottishmudlarking :)

[@leeespe448]

@Scottish Mudlarking thank you so much I have marked my favorites and hope to purchase them very soon 😊

[@susanmcgowan3759]

A friend recently gave me a wee penny scent bottle that I made ino a fairy dust bottle for my granddaughter she calls it her gareloch fairy dust

[@scottishmudlarking]

Aww that sounds truly lovely Susan :) A bottle of fairy dust!

[@janetduncan3243]

I love the stoneware!

[@scottishmudlarking]

It's so nice!!! So simple looking and handmade :)

[@DeanSinger]

The joke with the 3-legged donkey - a wonkey! 14.50 looks like a grenade...and the next one(then Craig mentions gunfire)! Bird pendant for you to make and the birds above like the plan,.....The one side of the object if something is snapped off could have been an ink pen! The claypipe might be shinty(shame that wasn't whole - doesn't matter)! And after the finish, WTH load them up!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Wonkey donkey... Now, there's a band name waiting to be claimed!! :D We're hearing gunfire pretty regularly... someone just told us its a bird frightener! Works on humans too!! lol I think you're right about it being an old pen... its an odd, but very cool, find. haha! No! I promise, we left everything else, but, there was a wee bit of shenanigans going on with Nicole's maths! Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@northernerinnc3179]

I would have taken the small shard (sherd?) with the brown Pattern on white--- it is near the cafe au lait colored stoneware. I have that pattern on a piece of china that had been my great grandmother or my grandmother ( mid 1800's or late 1800's) here in the US. So for sentimental reasons only.🍵

[@scottishmudlarking]

Aww that is such a lovely memory of the brown pottery pattern! I can relate why you would have taken that :) x

[@susanmcgowan3759]

I love the stoneware

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much Susan! It's so lovely in its simplicity :)

[@amandabell8827]

I love these bottle tip videos! I would have snapped up all those stoneware bottles. I repair them and paint them with various designs and have quite a collection now. They make wonderful gifts too. I have some 'digger' friends who look out for them for me. 😀💗x

[@scottishmudlarking]

I hear you Amanda! It was hard not to take every single one of those stoneware bottles, they are so simple and lovely at the same time :) Painting them sounds nice!!

[@lorismith9105]

I love stoneware. Plain bothers me not.

[@scottishmudlarking]

If only we had more space, I would have taken every single one of those stoneware bottles :)

[@mirkatu3249]

I probably would have taken the glazed stoneware also, it's unusual, at least to me. The blue willow necklace turned out beautiful! :-)

[@ET-yp9vc]

Yes, the pendant is gorgeous, I like how the edges were finished.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much :)

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much! It's the first glazed stoneware bottle we've found so we are very happy with it :)

[@kathrynadkisson8964]

I would have taken the glass with the metal ring. That was probably an oil lamp that you could’ve upcycled

[@scottishmudlarking]

In hindsight I wish I would have taken it - never found anything like it before! :)

[@juneyshu6197]

Have fun !

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much! You too! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@janicescragg2388]

I think I would have taken the wonky lamp. It could go under the glass category....Right?😜😁

[@scottishmudlarking]

I had such a small bag with me, that the oil lamp would have taken most of the space... maybe it'll still be there if we return one day!

[@deedorothypapineau6920]

I would have taken the whittled bottle. It’s special.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Hmm in hindsight I am thinking we should have taken it... maybe it's still there when we return one day :)

[@juliafokina8902]

Thanks I’d take a vase)

[@scottishmudlarking]

In hindsight I am thinking we should have taken that oil lamp... maybe it'll still be there if we return there one day!

[@shannahenk1655]

Are you going to start selling trinket dishes full of slug trinkets? 😂 At 5:47 there is a round brown thing in the lower left part of the screen. There were times when I thought it was a glazed clay marble. Do you remember what it was? It couldn't possibly have been something cool l or I'm sure you would have mentioned it Nicole.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Hahha no slug treasures here ;) We made sure they were safely returned to their habitat! Hmm not sure what that brown thing was - hopefully not a marble!! Sometimes you don't see all the treasures when you are filming...

[@susanmcgowan3759]

Pipebowls make great pixies houses

[@scottishmudlarking]

We tend to put them in our trinket dishes :) and there were some in our advent calendars last Christmas!

[@dawnpiper5883]

A silver pencil holder

[@scottishmudlarking]

Yes we think so too! One of our subscribers sent us a picture of one she owns and it looks the same :)

[@cjcarver6290]

1+1=2 but I would have done some fancy math to get to 5 there!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Hahah you are so right! It was difficult to keep to the 5 limit but I only had a small bag so that helped ;)

* There are Fake Fur covers for your Microphones to prevent or reduce the Wind noise. You might even make a cover for the mic with a piece of fakes fur from an old piece of clothing or blanket..

[@scottishmudlarking]

Yes we have that but the microphone wasn’t plugged into the camera properly 🫣😳 thank you Leslye !

[@patriciaglove8201]

I would have taken all the stoneware bottles. We just dont find them here.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Patricia ! If space wasnt an issue we would take lots more :) But it helped to only have a small bag with me!

[@juanitabefort8829]

Yes, the wonkier, the older

[@scottishmudlarking]

Looks like the dump dates to the 1880s roughly with some items from the 20s :)

Hahah oh Larisa it was so difficult to keep to the 5 limit ( pottery and pipes don't count ;) ) !! I only had a small bag with me, so that helped!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Oh no we musthave missed that Linda :) !

[@quietspacearts]

love mudlarking and bottle dumps but wish people fill the holes back up, so dangerous for animals and people to fall in etc

[@scottishmudlarking]

We only know of one person who regularly refills the holes they dig - we never dig, and are a wee bit wary of filling in a hole someone might come back to keep digging... that said, yes, they are potentially dangerous, especially when there are lots of broken glass in the bottom, and unsightly too. Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
