A First time visit to an Old Town Dumpsite. Mudlarking, and exploring.

A new old site, with lots for me to find. I was told about this site by a bottle digger, who asked that I didn't show much of the surrounding scenery. That's a limitation I accepted, and it made making a video there a little challenging.
I hope you enjoy this video, despite its limitations. If you do, then please give it a like, a subscribe, a comment, a share... whatever you feel comfortable with. Suggestions, comments and criticisms are all welcome.

Somebody kindly bought something off my Amazon wishlist, and I missed it out of the round up for this video, so that I can put it in the next one being used. Mini craft video in the next round up... hopefully. If it goes well enough.

You said to shout out if we saw something interesting! The person behind the camera! I enjoy the stories, tales and tidbits you relate! Always interesting and fun to hear! Thank you for another fine tour!!!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks for the wonderful escape of caring for my (best friend) mother as she suffers in the final stages of Dementia. Wonderful video, did miss the sound of running water but great fun, thanks again. Enjoy what you do, not all of us can. Take care tom and I look forward to next video of any kind from you!

[@tomburleigh9261]

I'm sorry you're going through that. Just before I started making videos, I was a carer for my mother too... it makes me very glad that my videos can be a brief escape for people in that situation. The next video has lots of running water, and lovely light playing in it, I shall try hard to get it out in a timely manner. 🙂

[@virginiamartin9913]

Sorry for your "hard work of love"taking care of your mom.... I totally understand as I took care of my wonderful husband last summer; he died in October.... I've never been the same... he loved watching and listening to TOM as much as he could!, his peaceful and spooning voice were also a huge comfort for him! Praying send peace to you both from USA, South Carolina!

[@bonnerdebbie]

@@virginiamartin9913 Thank you so much!

[@catherinewilliams3850]

So sorry, dementia is a heartbreaking condition, I cared for my mum for fourteen years, not dementia but a few medical conditions. I lost her in 2015 and miss her everyday, my partner was helping me care for my dear old stepdad until last year when my partner passed away suddenly then this year my stepdad passed away. I find the mudlarking youtubers a great comfort, it's like having a distant extended family with interesting hobbies.

Thanks Kari. I never tire of the view either... it's wonderful to be able to take a small break from editing, and see lambs bouncing and bounding around in the field, birds in the trees...occasionally rabbits eating the chives in our garden. Two weeks ago, we had a family of wag tails fledging in our yard, 4 fluffy young calling for food and hopping about on the chairs. 🙂

Absolutely - first rule of bottle digging never reveal your location! Queen Sheba gold is a paint/enamel. Northern Mudlarks found one on a riverside dump, it still had the gold in it.

[@tomburleigh9261]

I do try to hide any major landmark from the camera lens in most places I visit... with a few exceptions; like the hilltop dumpsite where the views are most of the attraction, and the river cut cliff, which very few bottle diggers bother with. 🙂 I have another series of 4 videos I filmed at a site where I revealed too much to the camera; thankfully, that won't matter by the time I get them edited and out, because the site has largely been bulldozed and is going to be built on. I must catch up with the Northern Mudlarks videos sometime, they film in lovely places and they're lovely people; hope I can meet up with them again sometime. 🙂

Thanks Kathy. And it's nice to know that the little piece of guitar music I wrote specifically for a theme tune, meant only for the 1st few videos... has spread quite far and wide now 🙂. Sorry if you talk yourself out of taking anything that you wish later you'd taken, it's the curse of restraint.

As long as I can hear your wonderful voice, the background sounds fade away. Admire your restraint in taking bottles. And look forward to more creek walks with you.

Thanks Arlene, that's kind of you to say. The camera did a great job of not really picking up most of the Air conditioning hum, it was incessant that day. I'm looking forward to getting the next creek walk video out, it was a lovely day with wonderful light. 🙂

I see dumps as strange l places ,sometimes they can be really dreary ,bleak ,others quite lovely ,I suppose depending mainly on my mood and physical well being but they Def do have an atmosphere at times .some dumps I never go too as I just hate them but others I like ,I prefer walking by the river best. But what I love is you can find nothing and then in a most obscure place find the loveliest of things ,like someone left it for me .I found nothing and then on my way home I saw a French Fioret pipe with colour leant against a tree ,I thought haha there you go ,these places are a mystery , Things turn up.in the most unlikely of places .

So lovely to experience a Tom adventure once again. Thank you. Lovely finds. I love the view from your window!

Commenting as I watch, but that tiny spool is lovely! I like little spools as they tend to be older and quite varied in dimensions. That little Codd is lovely! I get factory aircon sounds local to me, but I quite like it as a white noise 🤔

Thanks Richard. I have a fair few of the smaller insulators, I like them more and hope I can figure out a craft project one day that gently incorporates them (with tensioned wires). 🙂

@@tomburleigh9261 they are quite tough designs made for relatively higher tension. I'd be tempted to meet you for a tip lark someday when I have funds... I'm not a very social extroverted person, so I imagine you're probably a good lark partner 😂
