Beachcombing For Stars + St Cuthberts Beads. Fossil Hunting!

This week we are fossil hunting in Boggle Hole on the Yorkshire coast. We went beachcombing for star shaped Crinoids and circular St Cuthberts beads. We talk about the mythology behind both the fossils and Boggle Hole itself. Come with us looking for stars and a Boggle or two!

I have found many of the ones you mentioned in America. I found some by the Mississippi River and most in my sister's drive way. Some are hollow and are strung like St. Cuthbert's. They were used as currency by the Native Americans. I have jars and jars of them. Some are as big as my thumb and I have one on a piece of cello tape because it is so small. They are the petrified stem of water lilies that grew in the area millions of years ago.

[@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208]

That's interesting! Wow

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Wow thank you for that information, sounds wonderful! :)

[@kathieprater2431]

Kate and Oscar have identical beautiful smiles! I can't help but smile myself when I see either one of them smile! I love it that you go on family adventures together!

[@lovelyskull3483]

Any day is a good day to see Kit and Caboodlers.

[@judihart9658]

🤔like watching Bob& Sammi💝in reverse.older brother,lil sis! Soo great!& happy for one anothers happy moments.& mum!#you're all great.Always a pleasure to watch your videos.🙂👍😎ty! #sharing fun!

[@guadalupeknippen2636]

Beautiful aero photography. The stars are lovely, I've never seen those. Never fails, Oscar's smile melts my heart ❤️

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Mine too! :)

[@user-us8zf3ew5i]

Kate and Fleur all I can say is WOW what a truly MAGICAL place! Just watching this episode reminds me of one of my favorite all time books entitled Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier. It a fictional story based on the real life of Mary Anning the English fossil collector, dealer, and paleontologist. The book is BRILLIANT and I have read it several times as well as downloaded the Audio Book. If you are unfamiliar with Mary Anning, her discoveries, work, and how she made history I would highly recommend checking her out. I think Remarkable Creatures is a book you both might enjoy as you have such a love for both fossils and history. Thank you SOOO MUCH for this wonderful episode, it was absolutely worth the wait. To hold one of these magical fossils in ones hands is an experience of a lifetime. Blessings Ro

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

We are hopefully making a Mary Anning fossil special this summer along the Jurassic post which will be exciting! :)

[@verdagarner5112]

Those beautiful fossils would make a beautiful ring setting. Great video girls, and Thomas.

[@larkdavis6041]

Oh my goodness!!!!! I'm a rockhound at heart and just loved seeing all the fossils! I had never seen the stars before. Thanks so much! 💖

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

He does thank you, they are on his special shelf :)

[@ET-yp9vc]

When I lived in Japan, one of my students gave me a small jar of "sand" from Hoshizuna no Hama (Star Sand Beach). They, too, are fossils shaped like stars, however much smaller than yours. There are myths related to these sea creatures as well ⭐

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Oh my goodness that sounds so lovely! :)

[@patriciaglove8201]

I could have watched this for hours , love what all y'all find on those gorgeous beaches . Can't wait to see the jewelry you make from those stars .

[@maggie_oshea]

Incredible finds. Fascinating. You should try setting some of the stars in resin. They’d make beautiful pendants or rings. 🙂

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Lovely idea :)

[@susanhennes870]

Sounds good to me I wouldn’t miss your channels I love your little trips it’s educational definitely all have a good one see you Monday

[@temperhollow7716]

Fossil Heaven! What a glorious place.

[@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208]

Ohh wow!! That's great history. I was wondering if they were star fish too. I'm Iroquois and have a couple videos on KZbin making our traditional tincture's from wild lettuce, lactuca verosa, canadensis, seriola, and a new type growing this year is purple. We also took clam and muscle shells and grinding them down to just purple beads were our currency we used on trades. We also traded the western Iroquois salt for flint. So I teach our history. I love learning yours as well.

[@KarynDale]

Wow !! Thank you for sharing this. 🥰

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

We will have to take a look, it sounds fascinating! :)

[@ginagambill2828]

Omg Oscar is so cute and adorable. He’s such a super little boy.

Those fossils are absolutely amazing. I would be in heaven!

What wonderful feeling to find what you were looking for. What joyful day!!!!!!!!!!

The stones with star imprints would be a great addition to a fairy garden 💗

That is a lovely idea :)

Don’t mind the Monday, something to look forward to at the beginning of the week….❤️

OMG.....How beautiful are they. Such fun looking!

[@marydegenkolb9603]

So glad to hear you are going back to work. Monday is fine with me. I love watching Oscar find the fossils. He is getting so big! Growing so fast. Great history about the stars and ammonites.

[@sadielevens1144]

So lovely!!! I've never heard or seen those wonderful little Beach 🌟. Thank you!

[@dadams9158]

Loved the Monday video. Hey Oscar, long time no see.

[@charlieg5529]

I absolutely love your channel.. your outings remind me of when my Granma would take us out exploring.. we had no money for popular hobbies so we had to be creative, imaginative and crafty.. we would leave early morning with empty pockets and come home with crowns of flowers and leaves..sending you love, thank you

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

That sounds lovely, a more innocent time :)

[@salishseaquest7952]

The drone footage gets better and better. @0:52 Kate, that is quartz. In your search for Dragon Glass at the Bay, you found some magnificent Boaty Blues and lovely pieces of Sea Glass @24:51 and @25:01. That piece @26:22 and @26:26 is very close to Dragon -- like a scale, as you said. Next time at the Bay, you'll find the one you are looking for. Fleur, that is a treacherous path, don't blame you for not risking it. Another wonderful video with music and atmosphere -- Yay for Monday videos!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you! We should have done more research about that beach and Boaty Blues and Dragon glass! We will go back but perhaps we will walk around the coast rather than down that terrifying path haha :)

[@salishseaquest7952]

@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers Apparently it is an easier approach from Hawthorn. Will look forward to seeing you visit there again.

[@brightpurpleviking]

How very fairybook to be collecting stars on the beach of England! I loved this video. Thank you ⭐️

[@ET-yp9vc]

What a beautiful video record of your family's trip using photography, music, beachcombing, geology, and storytelling. Each family member made a contribution and the result is wonderful. Thanks to everyone for their efforts and for sharing with all of us.

Any day of the week is fine with me. Love your channel. Enjoy your content very much. Love from Ohio. 💚

[@rachelleandrichard]

I love these adventurers. Fossils, sea glass, a walk along the beach, Oscar's smiling face. The best. A wonderful family adventure. The scenic aerial views. Wow. And it doesn't matter to me when you post. Every single time is an absolute treat. And notifications lets me know when you do, so I never miss out. I wish we'd had more time on that last beach. So many treasures. Maybe you can return there one day and film again. Thanks as always for a charming treasure hunt with your family. xo

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Yes it was a shame about the tide but we will hopefully be going back one day :)

[@karenclary8592]

The singles would make wonderful earrings!

[@heidiavera5071]

The star by itself reminds me of a chocolate that I had when I was younger Brach’s. It’s so great you all go and mudlark together and enjoy it.

[@mamasgonecreating1967]

I remember those too. We loved putting them on top of our warm peanut butter cookies. Yummy memories.

[@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208]

Hey adding in Gail and Alex about that ancient graveyard and the face in the hill and two dragon heads down the hill from around the 1300's would seriously be awesome.

[@FLSueL]

Fantastic! I just love those star fossils. They're just amazing! The slag glass at the second beach was beautiful too. What great trips. Thanks for taking us along. So fun! :-D

Fossils are definitely Oscars favourite things to find :)

Those little stars are the cutest thing! Didn't know about those, the ammonites are nice too. Really loving the poetry snippets, I hope you left something for the boggle....The last beach had some amazing glass, really nicely worn.
