August Treasure Hunts in the Heat! Mudlarking & Metal Detecting

[@debcarnes100]

Hello from Iowa, I’ve spent all week watching your older videos, it’s been great seeing you from the beginning. Even though my husband has dementia he still likes watching the ocean in your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks so much for watching. It means a lot to me that you and your husband enjoy the videos. Thanks for letting me know.

[@susiewagner1534]

Love to see what appears when you break off the big clumps .. !! Great video , the tiny car pendant in a big ocean , brilliant!!

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks so much Susie!

Hello Matt,Paul, cool finds guys. Nice scenery shots. The blue marble looks old. The little car charm does too. Under The Surface never disappoints. Take care twins. Joyce ❤️🇺🇸🙏

[@underthesurface4435]

Hi Joyce!!, we had a fun week, thanks for stopping by.

[@lovelyskull3483]

I’m having a sleepless night. What a pleasure to watch this video, thank you. Love the wooden pipe bowl and the bottle.

[@underthesurface4435]

Your very welcome, sorry bout the insomnia, that’s never fun.

Hi Matt. The bubbles in your blue marble look as if you have captured stars in a beautiful blue sky.

[@underthesurface4435]

Great interpretation! It sure does, and the pic did it no justice.

[@kathisease9924]

I can't believe you found two door plates:) They are lovely. The workmanship of that time is something to behold! Thanks for sharing:)

[@underthesurface4435]

Super fun find! You are exactly right.

Enjoyed the video, loved the marble and the little car that your brother found 😊👍 oh and the escutcheons - wow they were lovely 😊

Thanks Jackie, always very much appreciated.

Very interesting with the chiseling. Similar to the concretion. Love it. Indeed

[@underthesurface4435]

Absolutely, just a softer version. Thanks Sandra.

Hello Matt! Your opening scenery is just stunning! How lucky are you and Paul to be in such a wonderful, calm and peaceful location to pursue your passion of searching for goodies Under the Surface!! I especially liked the vintage belt buckle with its special name and fancy design! What a great week you had, thank you for sharing! My best to your dad! Stay well and hydrated out there!

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks so much K S!, I count my blessings every day as does Paul, lol, we are trying to convince him to move down here even closer. Be well my friend.

[@jodynoble8220]

The concretions are always a surprise, love that part!

[@underthesurface4435]

Love the Concretion, I could break open that stuff all day long.

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Really enjoyed this video, the picking and poking just adds to the expectation, you could say ‘marbleous’ 😂.

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks Heather, love Marbleous!

[@underthesurface4435]

Hi Nilsa!, thanks for coming along.

[@eleaerik6478]

Fun to follow along - thank you Matt & Paul! I spent 5 years working in an art glass studio here on Bainbridge Island. We also had a studio in California. We made and sold several items, one of which were hand made glass marbles. Classic Italian techniques were used including latticinio. My job was quality control. Each marble made passed through my hands where I inspected it for various things such as bubbles and bits of stone from the crucible. Both of these were considered "no bueno" and would cause that marble to be labeled a "second". It is very interesting to me to watch yours and many other mudlarking videos. When bubbles are found within glass pieces indicating something was handblown, this is a good thing. When I found bubbles in glass it was the opposite! Go figure! I'm slowly working my way backwards through your channel. Love it.

[@underthesurface4435]

That’s very interesting Elea, love hearing peoples history. Thanks so much for checking out the videos.

[@DetectoristLorraine]

The car pendant is beautiful, as is your marble jar. Well done on another sensible video.

Yes, the bottles have been slow, thanks for watching, hopefully more bottles coming.

[@Diggerdano]

Sure good to see you guys finding cool stuff . I find my self getting excited in anticipation waiting for your videos every week lol

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks so much Dan!

[@countesscable]

I’ve just come to the end of another fantastic video. The seagulls in the background had me confused for a split second because as a section of the video ended the seagulls were still making a heck of noise. I was by my back door and they were circling and wheeling over head. Noisy buggers! I was amazed to see you find the door escutcheons: I recently found a pair of brass Art Nouveau door plates in a charity shop oddment bin. They were painted in black gloss paint. I bought them for £2.00, stripped the paint, polished the brass, and mounted them on green card and framed them in a mount and picture frame that I bought in charity shop also for £2.00. They now adorn my living room wall. You’re right about people liking to watch the process of you slowly easing off the clay with the chisel and see it flop away. Lovely! That aqua coloured mason jar lid is mega-fantabulous! What a beauty. There’s something about those lids that I find irresistible. I think I would make an illuminated art project with them. Roll on next week 👍🏻

[@underthesurface4435]

You have wonderful artistic insight. Fantastic ideas. It’s funny how a bunch of old glass lids could turn into an art piece. Love your door plate idea, you obviously have been blessed with artistic talent. Thanks again for the wonderful commentary my friend, hope you are well and remain that way.

[@susancousins8766]

Very nice finds for you 😊👍

You really find some cool things out there. You just never know what you will find or come out of the mud. Love those fancy door plates or what ever you call them and finding two of them is incredible. I'm into glass and when I saw you found that glass ball at the thrift store, I wish I could find something like that. Don't know what it is but it is nice. Thanks again for your wonderful videos.

[@underthesurface4435]

Hi Sally, most of the motivation to get back out there is the anticipation of what’s next. I’m with you , I love glass and I’m still not sure what that piece is either. Thanks again for watching.

The gold orb is a fishing net buoy. A lot of them have been found on coast of alaska and b.c. canada. Numerous videos of the ones found in alaska especially. Modern ones tend to be of moulded plastic . Majority are thought to come from japan.

[@cynthiaoxley4930]

I heard another you tuber talk about napkin rings at goodwill. She said some people buy them and use them as little stands for small items. Your little display at home made me think of them. The art glass you got at goodwill is just art glass and flower buds could go in it. It is mainly an display piece. You may want to take a picture of it and put it on Google lens. I have found several items on it. It doesn't have answers for all items but it has some. A lot of art glass is worth big money. You kill me with your goodwill finds! You have quite a talent at thrift stores. God bless

[@underthesurface4435]

Great information Cynthia!, much appreciated. It’s amazing how much I learn just from the comments alone. Thanks!

Hi Tracey!!, first ….thanks so much for watching!, much appreciated. Secondly…. recently I have been using concentrated peppermint oil. I apply it to my hat, napsack, shorts, boots, if I put it in my skin I water it down because it can burn (strong word). I even dowse a thick paper towel and carry it, the scent is really powerful. Down side….it is kind of expensive.
