[@charmansalls8937]

You two have so much fun!! I love watching your videos, so many great finds. Looking forward to part 2.

[@massriverpickers]

Part 2 goes up tonight! 😁💖

Hi Cathy and Drew, been away for a bit, but so glad to see you both doing well on good ole Assabeth. The finds in this video are my favorites ,dolls, clay marbles, blob tops, perfume bottles, perfume jars...so many wonderful finds. Glad the summer is treating you both well!

[@massriverpickers]

Hi Rita! 👋😃 Nice to hear from you! Yes, it has been a very busy summer for us!! If you liked the finds in Part 1 you will love Part 2 as well! Hopefully, it goes up this Friday night. We are doing well, just tired 😛. -Cathy (and Drew)

[@amandabell8827]

Hi Cathy and Drew, good to see you 😀Lovely bottle finds, I love the little perfume with the dragonfly detail. Glad the weather has been good for you, summer has arrived here too but since this is Yorkshire it probably won't last lol. Hope all is well with you both 😃💖x

[@massriverpickers]

Hi Amanda! 👋😃 We are absolutely swamped with "swampy" river finds... 😛 I am sooo far behind!! Glad to hear you've had some good weather too! You were going to the coast last I knew? Hope you had a nice time. We just missed / skimmed by a hurricane yesterday! Of course we still got some rain, but not too bad. That perfume bottle is one of my favorites too. I love art deco perfumes, and I love dragonflies! I don't know what I will do with the giant whiskey bottle.😬 That was only half of the finds that day! I have been baking a lot too: peaches and blueberries are in here... 🍑. (And zucchini). I guess I will rest next month. Lol. Off to the flea today! 😁💖

[@amandabell8827]

@@massriverpickers I had a wonderful time thanks Cathy, I didn't want to come home lol. I'm glad you dodged the hurricane, they are terrifying! Peaches and blueberries sound delicious, two of my favourite fruits. Do you make preserves with them? I will be blackberry and sloe picking to make fruity gin and vodka for Christmas. Have a lovely time at the flea market 😀❤x

[@massriverpickers]

I make peach/ blueberry upside down cake, pies, pancakes, muffins... I freeze the blueberries, and they last all winter! 😁💖

Wonderful finds Drew & Kathy! I’m always amazed at how many bottles and toys you find not broken. Love the perfume ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@massriverpickers]

Thanks Susan! We don't show you all the broken stuff we find... (or all the modern glass and plastic trash). Most are NOT keepers. You have a great week! 😁😎👍

[@kristinhaislett9365]

So many bottles! The rubber doll was weird. Thanks for sharing!

[@meefmeefington]

What a great day on the river! So many beautiful finds! Has me itching to get back out hunting!

[@sarahdee11]

Really great finds, Cathy and Drew! I'm glad to see you staying cool in the river 😊

[@massriverpickers]

Yes, we should be wearing our protective gear but it was just too hot 90+ so we basically went swimming Lol. Not the best idea though... (Chemicals, leeches, etc) but we were cool! 😁😎👍

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Cathy and Drew, loved all of the bottles you found. You clean them so well. The river looked high. Drew’s joke about being called Sunny on o. Lordy day, cracked me up. Always so nice seeing you two together having fun.👏👍😀

[@massriverpickers]

Hi There! 👋😃😎 Glad you enjoyed Part 1 ... Part 2 went up last night: same day / same place. Actually , the water was lower than it has been in two years! Some of these spots have been too high to access for quite a while.. But it was worth the wait! Be sure to watch Part 2, and at the end you will see a group ahot of ALL the finds together, from that day! (Drew's bad jokes! 😄 Lol ) 🚣🌞

[@JEFFREYHULLJr.-ps8nr]

Hello Cathy and Drew. This is a nice video and Lew and I enjoyed watching it. Oh yes, so many nice finds! The Hazard "Stout" bottle was a interesting find even though it wasn't side embossed. Lew and I seem to find all of the South Framingham mass Minard's liniment bottles in our Mass town. We love Canadian bottles and the med from Montréal was a really nice find. Lew has a week vacation coming up this month in August or September of 2024. We might plan a special trip and do bottle digging somewhere different. We are looking forward to watching Part two of this day. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care and happy hunting to the both of you.----Jeffrey Hull Jr. (Jeff & son Lew)

[@massriverpickers]

Hi Jeff & Lew, Sorry so long to answer you and others this week. 😛 It seems I haven't had time to breathe lately and I don't want to just ❤️ everyone's comments. Anyway, I think that RI blob was the only bottle that day that I did not already have... Oh no wait you will see another one tonight in Part 2. I hope you and Lew get to do some digging. We are having an me cooler days now. (I got used to 90° and now I'm cold Lol) Best to you both! Cathy (& Drew) 👋😃😎👍

@@massriverpickers yes the winters are mild, we’ve had some snow here that was pretty bad, but it’s few and far between, it mostly stays in the 40s during the the day, and a little cooler at night, like in the middle of February, I move down here with my sister about 20 years ago after a divorce

Another wonderful day on the river ❤ I love the deco perfume ! We just had big storms over the weekend and I'm going out first thing in the morning to see what I can find ❤

[@massriverpickers]

😄 Pardon my laughing, but I know what it's like! We don't show you all the broken stuff we find (unless it's something special.. in which case, even a piece can be an important find!) All that means is you are now due for something good! 💖

[@Luciddreamer007]

That rubber baby’s head is way too big for it to walk ! I was thinking to myself do they ever step on a turtle? Then suddenly there appeared a turtle. 🐢 😅 I love the art deco, perfume bottle, and wonder how the heck you ever saw it ? One day when I move to my forever home, I wanna have an art deco kitchen table set, as that period speaks to my soul. I noticed something happens when I view your videos for the first time …. I RELAX 🧘!!!! Thank you, Drew Meister ! Thank you, Huntress ! Your The Tops in My Book 📖 !

[@massriverpickers]

Oh my, I'm days behind answering comments! 😬 Glad you enjoyed Part 1, and I hope to have Part 2 up this Friday night. Busy, busy, with selling the "old farm" (my Dad's place). I hate to do it, but I have to... It needs too much work. Anyway, we've had low water this past month, so vids are lining up to be edited! First summer with Drew being fully retired. Exhausting! 😛 And confusing... Don't know what day it is anymore ( unless it's pizza night Lol). I agree, that rubber baby's head is enormous! 😄 And the turtle in the vid was only a painted turtle.. the one Drew stepped on was a big snapping turtle! Speaking of stepping on things.. our river pick was cut short recently cuz a piece of glass went right through my boot, and into my foot! No stitches, but it still is not completely healed yet. Sigh... Need to slow the pace here (maybe next month Lol) -Huntress (& Drew Meister)

That perfume bottle is stunning that would go Perfect with a few other Stunners that that. Please I think I find another small one like that I want the purchase it from you. I love it. Nice finds when will part 2 be out. I want to go to The river to lark on Tuesday but last Sunday I fell into the rounded Corner of the end table And either bruised out cracked some ribs. My right boob is black and blue and it hurts like hell Pulse I still dealing with A broken left finger. I need to buy bubble wrap around me . I fall alot course my right hip I extremely rotated and it makes my right leg 2 inch's shorter then my Left. But I will see how I feel I need to go thru my happy place to unwind. My sister has been very sick she was in rehab then went 2 Mondays ago for tests on her kidney stones but haven't her from her In a few days and found Out she was admitted to Jeans hospitals CCU her hart stopped due to low Blood pressure but that hit it pumping again now she is back in. We Don't get along to well She is very verbal, emotional and mentally abusive to me. One of the reasons she got this sick is she came home Last time ploop her ass on the hospital bed in the living room wouldn't move and refused the take her medications. She has had kidney stones for quite awhile But every time she goes to the hospitals they keep putting in stints. I don't understand it. This time she got a very Bad infection but they Still haven't taken the stones out. Well any way have a blessed Sunday and happy hunting.

[@massriverpickers]

Wow, you have a lot going on right now! Life can be hard. Hang in there! 🙏💖 When I was down (physically) I lived vicariously through other people's mudlarking videos, (especially Nicola White), until I was well to go out again. I know it's not the same as getting out there, but it can help one "forget" one's trials for a while. I hope you are enjoying our videos, and I am working on Part 2 now. Hopefully it gets done for next weekend. Take care, Cathy💖

[@denisesocha6279]

@@massriverpickers I'm sorry you have physical problems but you still go With drew and enjoy larking. I was going too To the river tomorrow but I fell again last night out side also I waiting on my new pair of wellies that My sister ordered. The ones I have are trashed. I should Be getting them this weekend. I hope the is not going to be a every Sunday Thing with me falling. I was outside trying the see the meteor shower my neighbors light goes on every time a bug flys buy it I went to see if I could have It face a different direction. I forgot that the is a small Curb there i went face first isto the shopping cart. It's amazing I have no injuries on my face but I hit the same part of body I did Last Sunday like that.
