I believe the tube bead you found is an "end of day" bead. The glass work was done for the day. and there were some slivers of glass about on the rolling table. So you rolled the tube in the shards/crumbs and then added it to your oven to slowly cool. Then it went home to a daughter or wife. Who may have used it on a lace bobbin or sewing box.

[@khall999]

Thank you for sharing this- I had no idea this is what was done 😉

[@salishseaquest7952]

Thanks, Alex, for saying, "It's a Bead!" Made me grin from ear to ear!

[@tammywhalen3297]

When your movie comes out can you possibly record about a 3 minute clip of yourselves and put on one of your episodes so we here in the states can see you ladies i would love it so very much...loved the video.

[@cynthiat6505]

I’m a Children’s pastor and when I get home on Sunday afternoon your channel just soothes my tired soul. I adore my job, but I do need a little rest after teaching my kiddos and your channel is so restful. Thank you both!

Gene Stratton Porter children's prayer: Gentle Savior, at thy knee a little child looks up to thee. Keep me safely through starshine. Make a loving heart of mine. When you want me for your own, guide my footsteps to your throne.

Please tell - we'd love to see Our Favorite Mudlarkers in a Brit Crime Show! Did you get to dress up and all that? What fun! We love your show - look forward to Sundays for just that reason🌞

[@Karyn1000]

Whyyyyyyyy????? Tell us!!!

[@tomst9417]

Alex- the Royal Marine of mudlarkers, bravely crawling through the mud into a dark hole beneath a tree! No artifact will be left behind by these ladies no matter how difficult the extraction. :-)

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Aww yes a fairys dish! How precious! That's crazy that your bead showed up in the woods. I think the fairies took it from your stash and hid it for you to find in the woods.

[@melissajohnson1563]

The basket weave pipe bowl would make a cute winters cap for a gnome

[@wendynordstrom3487]

I love when you turn the plain pipe bowls into mushrooms. So cute!

[@shaddy7996]

Hehe Alex ten points for trying say wash basin ;) an hats off to see a girl that don’t getting mind getting amongst the dirt for the finds 👍

[@jimgordon6629]

Just discovered your channel, watched three episodes in a row. People as nice, creative and imaginative as you all (excuse me, I’m from Texas) are as rare as your many fascinating finds. Bravo for those who love history and craftsmanship that much!

[@hannahdickens8256]

I love that you are not only finding amazing things but you’re also helping the environment by picking these items up.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

The fingerprints are so such a tangible piece of history. To be able to put your finger in the exact spot of someone else hundreds of years later...the fact it was a child makes it a little sad though

[@teresamoore3577]

Hi ladies,got a idea for your pipes with Christmas coming up turn them into Christmas bell’s & the stems to make them chime especially the plain ones if you painted them in iridescent paint would look beautiful when the light catches them. Lovely finds thanks for sharing xx❤️🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@Kazza_8240]

That's a great idea! They'd look beautiful on a Christmas tree 😁

[@randomvintagefilm273]

Yassssss

Alex is so brave 😬.......I'd have been scared of creepy crawlies, ........it was worth it though, broken, but with the whole rhyme on. 😁

[@catherinewilliams3850]

Me too, you couldn't pay me to crawl in there.

[@kathleenlynch5763]

So funny Alex to see you crawling out of that hole and yes thats what makes you special you enthusiasm for everything you do .just like your mum you are very talented.that little dolls house dish i am sure mudlarking Barbie would love that.what a pretty place that was tho and you found some great finds.take care.🏺🍯

Sweet, sweet mother and daughter tandem. Your aura radiates love and joy of life. Cheers to you!

In Toledo, Ohio, is an excellent museum, with a very extensive collection of glassware from every age in history. Ohio was a huge center for glassmaking, thanks to all the deposits of natural gas. Fenton, Kanahwhah, and many more makers were centered there at one time, though now they are in neighboring W. Virginia. Some of the curios we saw in the museum were made from the scrap ends of glass by the glassblowers and apprentices at the end of the shift, and included a lot of beads like the spattered example you found.

[@SunnyChaplin]

Thanks! Thats my city's museum!

[@doctorofart]

Knackered, I love that word. I’ve never heard it, but I know exactly what it means now. Love it. (:

[@suefeige3531]

A friend and I were extras in a movie shot here in Toronto. It was a lot of fun and we spent hours sitting around in a skating rink which is where they were filming. I saw the film once on TV and picked us out of the audience as my friend had a distinctive patterned sweater on. I enjoy your mudlarking videos so much and all the cool finds.

[@zoepatch3780]

I'm getting good at seeing pipe bowls before you pick them up. 😁😁👍👍

[@Rexholmen]

Fun to see a piece of pottery with Norwegian text on it! I suppose the full text would be "Olav den helliges mindestøtte" meaning "St. Olav's memorial". 15:19.

[@silverlady1118]

I can't believe you crawled under that tree!! Nice find though ☺ Pipe bowls, decorated, a hole drilled, then hung on a wind-chime or Christmas decorations? Enjoyable video as always ladies 👍

[@ilonamollema6467]

What a lovely finds! I really love the piece of mug with the rhyme of Isaac and Joseph on it, together with the ink bottle with the little finger prints. ❤ All in all a great haul of finds!

[@victorromeo2238]

Thanks for a super video. I loved the bead...stay safe..Victor...

[@melaniek7577]

When I saw that unique bead, I thought it might be interesting to try to take melted glass and swirl it around the pieces of cut pipe stem you have planned to make into beads...just an idea....I love watching what your finds eventually get turned into.

[@sandylee9564]

Awww, how sweet to hear you call out to your Mummy for help.I totally understand. Some days I only speak upsidedown and backwards and it's so frustrating.

A British Crime Drama? I wish I knew the name and the producers. Would love to watch with my daughter. You have already found wonderful treasures. Thank you for taking us with you. Cant wait to see other goodies you find. Greetings from the U.S.A.

[@59tante]

Wow,wow wow. Love it

[@siiiriously3226]

love you 2! will you ever make a video showing your collections? like showing all your bottles, all your beads, marbles etc that you found over the years? i think it would be amazing!

[@debjh]

Its so amazing that the clay pipes are so varied, and with such detail! I have several of the clay pipes. One of the pipes you found, I have the same one, the basket heart with JW on it! My favorite find of yours today, was the biblical piece you crawled in for! What a wonderful piece. The pottery pieces are all so beautiful! ☘️

[@archiewoosung5062]

When you first started, we could always be sure that if there was a hole, Alex would poke her finger in or climb in. Good to see she's not yet past doing such things.

[@amandabell8827]

A crime drama?! How exciting! I love crime dramas so can't wait to watch! Fabulous video as always Ladies, wonderful finds and seeing Alex wriggling out of that hole was so funny. The lengths we go to for a find! 😂 x

[@PolyvoreThea]

That mug half is SO COOL!

[@suzannet5442]

I look forward to your videos every Sunday! Thank you! Also, I feel like we haven’t seen any cameos from the animals lately. I miss those Shwoos!

[@austin12ascot]

Have I missed something? Did anything happen to the Schwoos?

[@claravillegas5815]

Can’t wait to see the film.. thank you for taking me along on your treasure hunt.

I look forward with great anticipation to these videos! Can’t wait to see the projects that come from these finds. Xoxo cheers from Nebraska

[@Mudpies]

Oioi guys 🥰 watching now, can’t wait to see what you uncover

[@Mudpies]

PIPE HEAVEN! Love it, especially the beautiful basket with wheat / thistles 🌾

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thanks guys! yes, we had a few interesting pipe bowls and stems this time - always good to find pipes. Going to watch you finding a whole one now! xx

[@theeclecticthriftercrafter]

That cup was well worth the crawl LOL. What a great day!

[@tereselapree222]

The basket weave pipe looks quite a bit like the bubble pipe I have. Mine is plain on the bottom, no wheat. Great amount of pottery and pipe bowls! It’s always so fun to go along on a lark with you both!

[@joncaradies3155]

Another FUN episode , Ladies ........ Had to laugh when Alex dived into the hole !!! What a 'ripping' young woman you are .... :D Anywho ...... Cheers and be well !!!

[@guadalupeknippen2636]

Alex, that was a funny intro to your video.😁 You sure we're brave to crawl all that way into the little cave. I think it was worth it, you found that piece of possible jar or mug. The scenery was beautiful, I love all the green colors, flowers and hearing the birds lovely songs. 👍🐕❤️🇺🇸

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

Ooh do let us know the details of the crime drama...I shall look out for you both 😊

[@SuperCharlie2002]

Alex is such a Beast! Not scared of anything. Love you both. Thanks for being you. Look forward to the next Adventure.

[@tereselapree222]

Gave me a fright to see her climb on in! At her age I would have done the same with out a care! Not so much now. 😂

[@gaynor3976]

I was afraid Alex was going to fall down the hole and disappear. What lovely finds you got that day. I love seeing different pipe bowls xx

[@kristymcnett5746]

I so look forward to Sunday just because of your videos. Love them❣

[@kathryndeloria1834]

My daughter used to say “ wathclosh” when she was small. Your washbasin clip reminded me of that! Great finds in this lark session!

[@robbybobby6483]

Alex was certainly brave to be climbing under that tree. Gail, I was hoping no one was home. So many finds, too many to mention, each better than the last. Your thinking Chamber pot i believe, Alex. Glad you took us along. Thanks you two!

[@superbellabeau]

Love all your finds especially the pipes. The decorated pipes are so interesting! The under the tree adventure was fun! Can't wait to see you on TV! 😊❤

[@sionaharrop4486]

Thank you for a great video. I thought you were very brave Alex to crawl into that hole, it went in so far! I’m really interested in the sponge ware shards, so many different designs. The river you were at was so beautiful with all the different trees and the flowers in bloom. Look forward to your next video ❤️🇦🇺🌾 xxx

[@denisemessier2815]

I just have to say, after finding your channel a few weeks ago, I can’t wait each day to watch a video. The photography, music, and your voices are all better than a meditation video. Plus I get to learn many things from watching and listening to the history. Thank you to both of you two beautiful ladies.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thank you so much - it's great to have you join us on our adventures! xx

The RAOB is still in existence. I think it is still centred in the UK but there is (or was) a branch in Toronto.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Nicola White (tidelineart) had done a lot of great PR for the RAOB when she would find their pipes -- I wrote to them asking if they could make her an honorary member -- unfortunately the RAOB are a "Men Only" organization -- though they really did appreciate all of the positive publicity that Nicola had provided for them....

[@tonywild3588]

Lovely to see the spring flowers, like the Hawthorne where you were. Wonder if we will see you in the film? Lots of lovely finds like those pipe bowls and stems with their history. I like the fingerprints on the ink pot and the crockery. Thank you and enjoy your week

Could the basket pipe have hops on it? I think a basket would make sense to collect hops in rather than wheat, but I don't know for sure!
