A Riverside Dumpsite; The Last Good Visit. Mudlarking adventure.

Went searching on a dumpsite, for old and interesting things. I found more than expected, but it was the last time, that that site had anything really good to offer.

I'm having a Tom Burleigh marathon while I recover from food poisoning. It is just the thing to watch and enjoy. The beautiful scenery, your voice, and your music. Thank you...

[@beverlyhayshouston2770]

I was listening while cleaning.

[@pamelavans5116]

Good afternoon Tom, just adding a comment, I admire your agility in your videos. I'm at the point where I need to use a walker, so I appreciate those who use their mobility to entertain others. Kind regards, Pamela 🌷

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Pamela, I'm glad my videos can be entertainment for people who can't get out as much anymore. I like to think my mum would have liked them, though she wasn't all that into rivers. It's taking work to keep fit enough for these outings, lots of long walks over winter. I've got to get out filming a fair amount in the next few weeks to keep that fitness. 🙂

[@charlesperez9976]

I would like to say how much I admire your determination. Much love and respect to you❤️

[@lfurches]

Hi Pamela. I have mobility issues too so I appreciate your sentiments. Those who can climb and crawl and stoop still, are welcome. I love watching Tom and his picturesque videos. Cheers to you.

[@Cali-at-the-beach]

"And, I think I'll take it!" You got so much today Tom! Lucky, lucky you! I love the art deco design bottle!

[@artieash6671]

A classic mudlark. I very much enjoyed it. I can imagine unusual necklaces made of wonky glass beads and some of your strange little finds that would be cherished by unusual people... maybe with some brass or copper spacers...too. I hope your day is a fine one.

[@marydegenkolb9603]

Aww poor pony! I hope you can rescue it and get it to a child who will love it and adore it. Great video, and as always, so soothing to listen to you and see the sites. Oh to be healthy and spry again.

[@brandyjean7015]

I so enjoy, your remembering what other folks might also appreciate. You are a good man, friend Tom.

[@carolreynolds3650]

Hi Tom, glad to find your video, with dream like settings, wonderful little treasures, & of course the voice, ahhhh, the voice. If your videos weren't so interesting, I would fall asleep!!! This was really fun, thanks Tom.

[@lorihouchin4732]

Very refreshing seeing you not mind carrying something and not worrying about how heavy it is and actually picking up bottles and taking them instead of explaining about your lack of room for any more a simply lovely video! Thank you. As to a suggestion for a new video I would enjoy seeing all the different edibles you enjoy foraging and perhaps how you like to use them, a favorite recipe perhaps. Or perhaps the steps you go through to clean up your finds or a trip to turn in your metal findings for cash.

[@debbiekiddle5158]

Always a pleasure to watch and listen to Tom 🙂

[@martinmarsola6477]

Great to see you again, Tom. An interesting trip as always. A picturesque closing scene. I trust your lady friend is healthy and well. The finds today were very attractive. Always happy to see your videos. Enjoy the week ahead, and see you on they next! ❤😊

I've started grabbing a musical instrument when I see your videos so I can noodle along with your little snippets of tunes. I really enjoy your style.

[@hazel3564]

Ah, riding with you through the village really takes me back, almost forty years. It doesn’t look like villages have changed much, not from the outside anyway.

[@tomburleigh9261]

There's some big changes down in the towns and villages in the valley bottom, but the ones on the hillsides and hilltops change much slower. 🙂

[@juliebates5315]

Lovely to watch this in between my gardening tasks, morning tea for me and having an adventure also. Thank you ! 🦘

[@julielumsden5184]

Tom I find it quite humorous watching you picking up bottles that are turned down because there common or not good enough. While I sit here in Ontario Canada thinking all of them are old rare and not common. We don’t have your years of history here I think that’s why I love watching KZbinrs from the U.K. so much history and incredibly interesting.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks Tom for a wonderfully entertaining video. I love all the colors of glass in your window and I really like the way the bag of electroplated metal looked as you had it with the gold shining out. I always love your music, the sound of moving water and your voice. Have an awesome day, week or whatever till next time!

I had been roasting garlic and had taken it out of the oven just when you passed by the wild garlic, so that was a lovely, special Smell-o-vision effect! Always love the wading in the water, but what a lot of nice finds in this video. The snow is finally melting here in northern Alberta. I hope spring has finally found you in 2023.

[@shirleyporter9025]

Another highly anticipated and very much enjoyed video Tom, thankyou! I loved the look of the gold coated metal in the bag, I thought it was a piece of artwork at first, it would look great mounted and hung.

Tom, I'm glad you "broached" that question..... Yes:) A lot of people dug that sight, I dig it! Actually, it's good to see most filled the holes they dug. I was surprised this video is a year old, but time and the tide wait for no mudlarker, eh? Cheers, Rik Spector

Thank you Tom !! I could almost smell the wild garlic. And what an array of glassware , lovely colours and shapes.. Good health to you and yours

[@tombrooks3812]

This is a great place to spend a day it reminds me of a small stream we used to play in as kids. We actually damed the thing up and made a swimming hole, we had so much fun. I wonder if the youth of today would enjoy this as much as we did. Also that place has sooo much to dig i can hear my dad now saying if you bring one more bottle home its curtains for you. Now many moons later i would still have a problem leaving so much behind i love old stuff. Thanks Tom another great video and as always stay safe✌️🙂

[@peggyreid6836]

So nice to hear your soothing, comforting voice again. Thanks for the little river forage. I do appreciate the green poison bottle, even if it is screw top. Greetings from the U.S.A.

I love the green fields outside your window. It would have been nice to have you raise the green bottles to compare. Now I’ll be looking forward to your next video. It’s Easter Sunday and the sun is shining through my window. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

[@charlotte0069]

Having just returned from a wonderful holiday in Yorkshire it’s so nice the see the babbling streams and emerald moss again. Wild garlic was abundant, not quite ready but still a heady olfactory treat. Some interesting and beautiful finds, thank you Tom. Take care 🙂

[@tomburleigh9261]

I think I'll be heading out to forage some this week, it's ripened up nicely just in the last few days. I hope you found some good treasures while you were here, either in mudlarking spots or the Antiques centre. Maybe by next time you visit, I'll have stocked up the ruined farmhouses with bottles to find. 🙂

[@charlotte0069]

@@tomburleigh9261 I did thank you, Lynn and I found some lovely items. I did visit some ruined houses in the hope I might find some bottles, what an atmosphere those ruins hold. Hope the weather allows you to get out to forage🙂

[@Devils-Advocate]

Looking at the comments I'm in the minority here but... I particularly like the conical flask bottle and the glass bottle with the brown screw lid. I'd make a terrible mudlarker because I love all the bottles and wouldn't leave any 😂

The green jewel could be from a shoe, a type of buckle that was rather popular, or a broach, lovely find. Your surroundings are always beautifully videoed.

at 17:58, the glass 'thing' looks like it would nicely cut out baking powder biscuits! 🙂 So glad to wander the creek searching along with you! I'm afraid I'd be so excited to collect all the bits and bottles, I would be so loaded down I wouldn't be able to make the trip back!! I do love the NOT TO BE TAKEN ones especially (I won't tell, lol!) Thank you for another enjoyable outing, Tom!

[@PolyvoreThea]

The whole adventure was really lovely. A good classic video from you. Those tiny bottles seem very addictive. But my favorite was the ‘jewel’ of glass you found.

I like the idea of a small flock of tiny sheep to sit in your windowsill looking out :) i love snails also, if u make a curve on them along their foot somewhere you could hang them from plant pots..old keys would also be neat..and your lady love may like some bits of jewelry, necklaces bracelets brooches and such...😁 or little charms of her favorite things 😊

Beautiful area and some lovely finds. My favourite is the art deco bottle, however the tapered green poison and the olive green bottles look good in the window too.

That was a good lark, so many lovely bottles in a variety of colours 😍

Amazing finds! I melted over the bottles. Your view reminds me of a song The Bear Went Over the Mountain to see what he could see. ❤️ from PA 🇺🇸

[@countesscable]

Beautiful colour bottles. I would love to grub around in that area! There are no dumps, rivers or places to find treasure near me. The stuff you walk past makes my eyes boggle!

[@wildlifeathome]

This was a great walk in a beautiful stream. I love all the colors glass can come in and you found a great selection. I was surprised to see how many bottles you took compared to the usual amount, it would be so easy to fill a house with all of them. Would a bell be of interest as a creation? Maybe ornate displays for your finds? Cheers Tom, have a wonderful week.

[@jenniferstevenson7379]

Thank you for sharing this mudlarking excursion. Always enjoyable. Would love to see you make a mobile out of the metal bits.

[@beepingwithbeppe6376]

Another wonderful video Tom. You found a lot of really neat bottles and things in today's video. Maybe cast some bronze or copper figures or bowls with all the scrap you find. Stamp it with your name. That would be so cool. I would buy one...and please don't cut down your thankyous. I, personally, find that a whole lot better than just saying please like and subscribe. And it allows us to listen to your soothing and engaging voice that much longer. Can't wait for the next video. Happy Easter from Canada Tom.

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Simone, I quite like the idea of bowls... might have to give it a go. I'm glad you appreciate the thanks, I think most people have stopped watching by then (according to YT analytics). Happy Easter to you too, I hope you're having a lovely one. 🙂

[@taramartin6117]

Thank you for the lovely lark, I really needed to see some green and I would have loved looking out for treasures as well,

[@peterbarton9856]

Lovely video once again, Tom. There are plenty of uses for the brass and copper that you have found if you are able to make molds. How about a chess set, using a wooden chess set as a mold pattern? What about making vases, again, using vase shapes you like as patterns? It does not need to be major projects but small available uses are abundant if you look around you. Take care and be well, Tom.

[@charlesperez9976]

I recently aquired,from Craig and Nicole,up Scottish way,a lovely tiny porcelain Victorian dollhouse bathtub. Embarrassingly,I was imbibing. I went to sit up,and toppled over,like a skittle. I heard a crunch. Drunkenly,I witnessed my precious bathtub,cracked right down the middle. I literally owned it for maybe 2 hours,then i destroyed. I am Charleszilla. Craig suggested that Japanese style of repair,and you mentioned it too. That is what I shall do!

Glad to see you pick up some finds on another pleasant amble along that river bank Tom, we thought we got a whiff of that garlic in the woods. Looking forward, as ever, to ventures to new locations.

[@bronwyndobbins282]

I love your idea of the blue glass beads, goodluck, I hope it works. I would have taken all those bottles and more, can't help myself, I love small bottles. That battery is awesome. I like the large serving spoon idea to. So many ideas. Thankyou, Tom, beautiful scenery and always a pleasure to help enjoy your adventures.

[@naomimakin1908]

Lovely Adventure as always Tom, love the deco-ish bottle and the unbroken battery 😊

[@carolrayk]

Copper garden pin wheels would be a nice project. Think BIG pin wheels that spin in the wind. Or a big copper rook to sit on the stone wall outside your window. Or if you don't have a pet a copper dog or cat would be fun. I've run out of ideas for now. 😁

[@sherryrector2275]

A wide variety of finds. Totally enjoyed. Make a copper horse or tree with thin wire branches twisting and turning bare of leaves with a wide twisting rooted stand. I saw an old man make one once from scrap wire he collected from where I worked at a small family owned street light installing company.

[@anneminnick4786]

Enjoy spending time with you on your walks and the treasures you find. I mentioned to the Johnson's who also like to create that they might enjoy using broken pottery or broken multicolored glass to make Patchwork like bowls , dishes , cups , or Stained glass like crafts by piecing them together as you would stained glass or with Strong glues. Probably would not be functional to hold beverages or water or foods , but I believe the results would be Beautiful recycled conversation piece craft work. Multiple kinds of Oriental patterns to make bowls or plates. Multiple Blue Willow patterns , Spongeware, etc. I wish I were able to find such broken pieces to try it myself , but I am a bit disabled at present. Thanks for Sharing.

I'd like to see some lost wax castings of some odd sculpture. Maybe make some sporks out of the wonky spoons? Serious side note- any chance of saving the hobby horse and using it as your carrier bag?

I enjoyed your walk and finds. Always fun to see what you find! And I'm thinking about free form melted metal on a flat surface. What sort of medium to pour it on is a question I don't have an answer for. I think if you go to any websites for artists in the Upper Peninsula Michigan, you may find some ideas from the copper artists there. Thanks for you videos, hope you and your girl friend are happy and well.

[@pauldurkee4764]

Hello Tom, I would have kept that broken ginger beer stoneware, the chances are you may well stumble on the missing piece. I wouldn't give up on that site, diggers often miss things, and sod's law means that missing piece is waiting to be found. That's a nice green poison, lovely condition, one man's loss is another man's gain as they say. With best wishes from Wales.👍

[@kengensjewelry]

Thanks for taking us along, Tom. I can now see why you've checked my tumbling video for glass. Watching you has given me a great deal of inspiration, and I might even wander off the beach to look for some dig sites. I love you channel and look forward to catching up on your videos.

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Ken, I hope you can find some good dig sites, though a lot of my American audience really struggle to find any; they might just be more common around where I live (hilly, and the bits of land that were considered otherwise useless, (steep and unfarmable places by streams and rivers) were used as dumpsites, and never built over). That's not to say don't look, there's a few channels I watch over there who find them. If you're not quite so lucky as them, and want a few vintage bottles with a bit of glass sickness to try in your tumbler, I could perhaps send you some. 🙂

[@debrabrooks6138]

Such beautiful color of bottles! I love the olive green and emerald colors beautiful earth tones. I wonder how hard it would be to melt them into sheets to make a stain glass window or art? The olive green somehow brought the image of fern leaves or tulip leaves to mind. I would of taken the hobby horse, ahh I am nostalgic at heart.. A idea for your copper or brass, what about a fountain with the copper shaped like leaves, those heart shaped vine leaves maybe, staggered with a trickle of water flowing from one leaf to another.? The small water pumps for a fish tank would work, the base, perhaps thin slate pieces bound together with natural clay. Just a thought. A beautiful walk through the country stream for my birthday, made me smile. Thank you Tom. :)
