Seeing them polished makes them look even more like treasure.

[@jblaxlinde7998]

Hello Ladies, The little "Paper clippy" looking things are industrial belt joining clips, used on old leather drive belts & small conveyor belts. Keep up the good work

[@CDR0902]

What I'd personally love to see is yous making an in depth tutorial turning these into jewellery. Love your videos!

[@phyllisbowen3698]

I just love you ladies videos your excitement is contagious. Marbles or a bead great curious finds. Oh my goodness I would love to dig in there with you ladies.

[@noelreasoner]

I just love you girls and your adventurous spirit. I'm definitely a fan of your channel. Before I stumbled across your videos, I had never heard of mudlarkers. Now I wish I could be one. You've taught me and entertained me, and I thank you highly for that. Bless you from Hilton Head, South Carolina in the USA.

[@luvjesuslee2033]

Noel Wish we had some places like this in S.C. I do metal detect but these two find it in loads lol It's wonderful watching these two.

[@deirdrepasko9056]

I had never heard of the term either. I just love their accent, their excitement, and the history lesson at the end.

[@johnnabuzby6103]

My son Andrew and his wife Jocelyn live in Beaufort, SC and on one of my visits with them; I live in New Bern, NC; we went out to the beach at Hilton Head Island. It was really pretty there and we had a great time.

[@brendawilliams7836]

I just love it when you find old coins! I wonder who owned them last and how they lost them! So much history behind them!

[@chrisclover9030]

31.19...i see two pieces of chain mail...for suit of armour! ' great finds...love guessing !!? 😃thanks for sharing!

[@northernerinnc3179]

30:55 are the same open round objects -- are they chain mail? Absolutely amazing! I'm from North Carolina and so an "old" item for us would be what you would call Georgian, 1760's or so. To find mail---amazing!

[@milliepankow1326]

I was also going to say chain mail. Glad someone else thinks the same as me.

[@deirdrepasko9056]

@@milliepankow1326 I also thought the same!

[@KittyGrey13]

Chain Mail is also worn whist cutting meats and fish so I’d guess it would most likely be from the fishing industry rather than armour. Nice to imagine though!

[@gazpitt8087]

Hopefully Storm Ciara will reveal more treasure for you to find 😃

[@frankwagner6020]

I can understand why you keep going back! So many interesting finds! Congrats on your first gold!

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

I just love you ladies. ! I wish I could go out there with you. . But I live in Colorado. And we don't have a long history like you do. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos. And God bless you.

[@winnievanorden1]

What do you mean Colorado doesn't have a long history? You can go fossicking for dinosaurs bones over there. 🦖🦕😃

[@kylerjanovec3906]

winnievanorden1 you have Indian artifacts

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

@@kylerjanovec3906 Yes, we do but they are few and far between. I have an arrow. Head and I also have another little artifact. Which was made by the Taino Indians from Puerto Rico.

[@daveparnell3886]

You two should be collecting all of the lead here where I live it brings $1.25 per pound at the scrap yard not only will you make some good money. But lead is absolutely horrible for our waterways

[@barrywainwright3391]

Fyi, I am a dump digger and I can't believe all the copper and brass I find. I have several milk crates full. They are the king of base metals. When I take it in I'll make some decent extra spending loot.

[@BobChaz]

If the water isn't full of reactive chemicals, the lead is harmless. It isn't white or red lead paint.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thank you ladies for another great video. Lots of wonderful finds.

[@robertgardiner878]

Absolutely love the length of your videos and all the little trinkets that you find. Thank you for taking the time to make them and to share them with us. Always looking forward to the next one.

[@DianeBeeEss]

I'm laughing because I thought you window moan was my cat having some sort of problem! I kept pausing your video to listen to him. I was very glad when you said what it was!

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Haha, that's so funny - sorry about that ! xx

[@lovelyskull3483]

Thank you so much, I got my 6 silver rings Gail and I love them. Every journey with the two of you is like magic.☮️🇨🇦

[@lyricsdebra]

Love your videos and how you both talk over each other all the time! Your singing window sounds like an annoying bee! 🐝

[@-AuburnWaves]

My daughter thought it WAS a bee 😁

[@jblaxlinde7998]

The random lump of lead that looks like a pipe, was actually an eroded car door handle, made from "Pot Metal" which is mostly Zinc, probably from the 1970s

[@johnturner4400]

J Blaxlinde. My morris traveller has one!

[@barbarabeltz591]

I had a door that sang and made the dogs bark it had a copper strip and I finally pried it up and it made the door harder to close but the noise quit. I miss it

[@junglie]

The paperclip staples you found are stainless steel clips used to join conveyor belts in the mining industy, i used to see hundreds of them around the old mineworkings around here.(co durham)

[@tomst9417]

The round metal bits with holes in the center at 33.55 I think are "roves" which are used to help fasten rivets used in securing wooden planking on the hulls of boats. Quite a haul of interesting finds !

[@trippingonrocks1165]

So much fun. I love the mystery of some of your finds and the fun finding out the history. Thank you so much once again for a great video.

[@MrBigtire]

Fascinating finds ladies! A very unusual deposit of items spanning centuries all in one spot.

[@megz_85]

Wow absolutely amazing again ladies! I so love and enjoy your vlogs 🙂💖

[@juliet5114]

GOLD 🤸😁! Congratulations 🥂🍾!! Love when you give the bits of metal a polish, they look so beautiful 😊. Thank you Gail for the story at the end. I love learning more about the places you go 👍. 🙏's always for safety on your travels and adventures. 🤞🍀And much luck on your next adventure, maybe a bit more gold 😁!?!?

[@gazpitt8087]

Ooooh, gotta love a bit of beach treasure 😃

Great video ladies! Loved it. It warmed me up on this cold Michigan day. Time for a cup of tea! Your friend Steve Bonds from Bay City Michigan USA

[@katherinehunter5789]

What wonderful finds. Your excitement is contagious.

[@mallory0322]

🌼🌸Whitehaven seashore is so ancient looking. I can imagine all the hidden treasures buried deep under the rock and sand. It seems with each storm older and older relics come to the surface. Super interesting watching you both explore, and celebrate each discovery with you! Wishing you both a sun shiny week🌞🌸🌼

[@ScarlitvonZombi3]

An ASMR of the howling wind through that window would be amazing.

[@jengalloway4961]

I love all the bits and pieces. I used to help pick up and sort beads at a friend's bead store. I loved it. What fun that beach would be.

[@RebeckaSarkozy]

I always look forward to a new vlog from you! They just keep getting better! Congrats on finding the gold! And I hope you are safe in these crazy storms right now! xx

[@gypsycatharina]

Thank you ,love the story’s you tell ! Love Rini

[@tygrahof9268]

Don't know about England, but in America the old nails, the usually square ones were identified by the shape of the head. The shape of the nail heads were patented and you can sometimes know who made them. Interesting carpentry fact. "We have a bunch of things with holes in them..." LOL

[@kitchenworker446]

That was fascinating! Great research and I loved the story at the end. Thank you.

[@tnguyen9763]

What an abundance of metal finds. Your excitement for digging up stuff is sweet. When you bring the camera in on your excited finds I feel like I am there with you saying what’s that.

[@larkdavis6041]

Once again what an exciting mudlarking adventure! So many great finds! I always look so forward to your videos. Thanks so much 😊

[@marcussmart7673]

Hey Gail and Alex, I love the amazing bits of history you both discover and share. My favorite so far is the eggate Alex spotted. I found a rock that looks as though it's a pickle, when it's wet. It's a frosty green when dry, Its been in my collection for almost 30 years. I'm not sure if I like it so much because of its characteristics or the time in my life it represents. I cherish those memory's, I'm sure you both build wonderful memory's together, that's worth more than anything you will ever find. I'm still keeping the cool stuff though😁

[@ambsquared]

I wish I had seen these kind of videos back when I was in University. (Way before KZbin though). I spent a year not too far from there at Lancaster University.

[@Purplesuiter]

Glad I went back to watch from the beginning!

[@deirdrepasko9056]

I just love you gals, your enthusiasm, your accent and the history lesson at the end! I had never heard of the term, 'mudlarking' until very recently, and have been glued to your channel ever since. I hope the shores are good to you. Cheerio.

You gals are very brave to muck into the unknown! I enjoy your efforts!

[@owensmith1927]

Thank you ladies for once again allowing us to be a part of your adventure. Allowing us to look for the items before you retrieve it, is for me a game, the research and history of the things are entertaining. Waiting for the next video.

[@babybyrd2121]

Oh my goodness! I’ve never seen so many finds for one day! Amazing. And such interesting tiny little things. I think the gun parts are my favorite! Thank you for taking me along again, I had such a good time.

[@sharyncrawford3419]

Wow very fun to watch this one!!! The extra research at the end was the icing! As jewelry makers you could do so much with all those findings! You gals are so sweet, Love love love your channel!!!

[@catherinewilliams3850]

I've always wanted to go mudlarking, beach combing, fossil hunting etc but due to circumstances never had the chance. My soulmate of 21 years was a field archeologist, we both had a passion for history. Sadly he passed away suddenly in Feb 2021, watching your and other mudlarkers videos on KZbin brings some happiness back into my life.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

So sorry, it must be a very difficult time for you. We both find that beachcombing and mudlarking is very meditative. I think it's because it's usually in a tranquil location - on the beach - in the woods - and you are so engrossed in what you're doing, nothing else (not even time) exists. We often feel as if we have walked through a time slip - what feels like an hour usually turns out to be three or more! It's very therapeutic. If you can, you should give it a try. Gail & Alex xx

[@domenicas.2645]

Oh my! That window moan! Creepy and hilarious at the same time! I would have had that fixed. Lol. Cool finds, but I love the sea glass and pottery the best. Thanks!

[@slashetc]

I imagined it was Moaning Myrtle.

So lucky to have this history just a bit from home. I could listen to you talk all day miss Alex

Hi great video and some more interesting finds . Thanks for sharing

[@regbrenchley1322]

little tip, keep all of the lead with a heavy white patina on as it’s very valuable. it’s highly sought after by electronic company’s ! the older the better.

[@brendaprice7686]

Awesome video. Love the treasure hunting, scenery clips, the round up and stories. Thank you for sharing.

[@MyMiaArabella]

Beautiful finds! And even more so polished up. The sound of that wind blowing against-through your window is so haunting sounding and is fitting as background noise for going through all of these long ago items cast off as garbage, but being given new life! The nails would make a cool cross pendant. If you look it up on Pinterest, you’ll see what I mean.

[@500mos]

I loved the great story at the end very wonderful.

[@abdelhak6470]

Hi... It's amazing !! I think you have just find the right place of a 19th century market with a haberdashery, an armoury house, a watch-clock repairers shop and a hardware store. Keep digging, you may discover the bank . 🤣🤣 (N.B= Unless it's the remains of a pontoon or a prison hulk). Great finds, thanks for sharing.🤗

Hi, great video.. You two are the best I always enjoy and look forward to your uploads... That triangle shape piece looks like the tip of a knife or a saw maybe!

[@leeklassy1012]

The aluminum squiggles remind me of how burlap bags or cloth bags are sealed. The opening is cinched together and then the wire clamps them closed.
