First Time Finds for all of us! 200 Years Old! Mudlarking in Scotland

[@cathyjay2569]

Thank you for that beautiful tribute to Queen Elizabeth. I’m from the US but have good friends from England and I love the UK. Your video presentation was just beautiful! I cried like a baby. ❣️

[@allenhedge5060]

Amen to that, love from New England.....aka Avaloch93

[@catherinepalmer4596]

I’m so pleased you posted the memorial to our Queen at the end. My heart has been very heavy since I learned of her passing. I was also thrilled the clock hand retained all its hand-stamped decoration despite the heat. Somehow I thought it would melt away.

[@bethsands7665]

You are so awesome finding treasures as well as poetic and immersed in the historical-finds-of-time. I absolutely love your music choices !, so peaceful and free.

[@johnnabuzby6103]

Sending sincere condolences from the United States on the loss of your beloved Queen Elizabeth II. 💔👸 💔💙🖤❤🖤🤍 She will be sorely missed around the world. She gave the last full measure of devotion to her country up 'til the very end. We are deeply saddened by her passing. Alex the clock hand is a great find and you did an amazing job on its restoration. We certainly missed Cecilia today.

[@vettnetkramer1233]

I hope you find another clock hand some day. Maybe even the mate to this one. I loved the rainbow 🌈 at the loss of the Queen. She reminds me of my grandmother. Thinking of everyone at this time of loss.

[@SammiWhizzme]

The care taken to restore the clock hand was so heart warming. Love to see old relics restored to glory. Beautiful work.

[@SammiWhizzme]

The shape of the clock hand reminds me of a peacock father.

[@michelehood8837]

What a wonderful mudlark - and it looked like an absolutely gorgeous day! ☀️ Sending condolences for the loss of your wonderful Queen. What an example she set for people around the world. There will never be another like her. ❤

[@fridafelle980]

That little mouse figurine looks a lot like Diddl, a character that was very popular here in Norway in my childhood, in the late 90's/early 2000's. We had all kinds of stationery items with him and his girlfriend, Diddlina, on. While I'm allready commenting (it's my first time ever 😆), I want to thank you for making amazing videos 😊

[@juneyshu6197]

German cartoon they say, looks like it!

[@ilonamollema6467]

It's definitely Diddl. I stil have loads of stuff from him from when I was a teenager.

[@Suemauz1208]

Yes thats Diddl the mouse

[@danielabagola1143]

Yes it is a diddle mouse

[@VanMorgue]

That’s a Diddl Mouse. I got hundreds of it in the 90s 😁

[@mariannepossemiers4427]

Diddl was such a hype here too 😁

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

You all certainly had a wonderful day and the clock hand is beautiful. Thank you Gail and Alex. Forever our Queen Elizabeth x

[@59tante]

here in the states we are at half staff in her honor

[@lisacates4185]

Godbless the queen,may she rest in peace 🙏🏻 She once stated when she meets our lord she will trade her crown for his of thorns😇

[@Julianne955]

God Bless the Queen, Long Live the King. God, she loved Scotland!

[@katibenelli9142]

That was a wonderful day! Great finds. And my heart goes out to you all today, remembering The Queen.

[@lindabaldwin2568]

" You both are so talented , a wonderful mother daughter venture . The tribute at the end of this video is very touching . I wish to add my sympathy to you all for your loss . Hugs from Kentucky 🙏❤🇺🇸"

[@rockersfromaz3001]

Great brilliant finds! The hand from the clock is beautiful and I loved that you were able to fix it! Beautiful tribute to the queen as well! ❤️ may she RIP

[@evie6304]

Wonderful mudlark as always…..sending condolences from Canada for the Queen 🫅 she was a wonderful lady!

[@beckyh1369]

Beautiful and very special finds. I absolutely love that clock hand! Condolences for the loss of your Queen. She was a very inspiring woman of honor and duty, and the very embodiment of the word regal.

[@FLSueL]

Thanks for the fun. I love the clock dial hand, it's so pretty. And, I dearly love that tiny marmalade jar. Nice finds. That was a really nice tribute at the end. I think it can easily be said that there won't be another like her.

[@kathieprater2431]

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to all United Kingdom and Commonwealth citizens. Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth, and Thank you! God save the King.

[@jennifermartin7468]

I understand your sentiment but I can’t mourn for colonizers or protectors of pedophiles.

[@arielarenado]

Condolences on the passing of the queen. Loved the tribute at the end. ❤

[@debbieclark3902]

From the heart of America, my heart goes out to you and your Country in the loss of your Queen.

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

Here from Tennessee in the USA we send our prayers and love to everyone as they mourn the loss of their Queen may she rest in heaven and in peace

[@dannytorrance9555]

Brilliant restoration of the clock hand! My condolences for the loss of your Queen, "The Parting Glass" was a lovely homage.

[@sandylee9564]

I am so sorry for your loss....I've been tearful the past two days and this bit of joy watching you guys has helped.

[@RobinCollins-ll2bs]

How very sweet that clock hand is, and how dear of you to use your time and skill to bring it back to its beauty. Sharing it with youor public is another virtue you have brought to our times. Attention to detail is sadly lacking in many modern products. Thank you for bringing that fact to the fore.

[@bkitteh6295]

She sent us a rainbow to tell us she had arrived safely. 🌈 Thanks for another great video and for the exquisite pictures of beautiful Queen ELIZABETH II. She is and always will be missed. 🥺

[@susanbdusan2785]

Oh, I am tearing up, from your beautiful tribute. We won’t see any better in our lifetime.

[@Justfollowthecrumbs]

Beautiful finish to your video. Like many, many other people, here in the United Kingdom and around the world we will mourn Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, truly a treasure beyond words is lost to us. God save his Majesty Charles III, our King.

[@jenniferm1605]

Oh dear! That brief tribute to Queen Elizabeth took me by surprise! Tearing up again. The greatest of public servants and we'll be hard pressed to see her like again. The Greatest Generation passes and so few are left. That smile will be missed.

[@gracehennessey772]

God bless her soul she is so missed . God bless our queen 💕💕💕

[@vickinoeske1154]

The clock hand is exquisite, so much detail. Florie's little pot is adorable!

[@yukokaystevenson4438]

Amazing fun hunting for treasures! Alex, magnificent job on the delicate clock hand. It turned out brilliant. Great job. Truly a lovely tribute for Queen Elizabeth II. I'm so sorry for you and the people of Great Britain 🇬🇧 Definitely in my thoughts and prayers 🙏

[@susannegalligan8600]

The care you put into the clock hand was amazing.

[@donnabrewer4971]

Am I the only one who held her breath the entire time she was flattening and straightening the clock hand? Phew!!! Awesome day 'larking!

[@nickywhite9079]

Fantasic finds. I love the red garnet bead as well as the clock hand.. Deeply Saddened with the Queens death. As a child I was blessed with the Queen speaking to myself, my brother & neighbour when she opened a new building at Lincoln College out side of Christchurch in New Zealand. Us children were in ore, all we could do was nod our heads. A wonderful memory to treasure. RIP Our Beautiful Queen God save the King. I so love her meeting Paddington Bear at the Palace, so many beautiful memories. The rainbow said it all 💜 The Queen is with her beloved Phillip now. 🌈

[@juliemcolgan1446]

Sorry for the loss of The Queen my thoughts are with all the people of Great Britain and of the world. Great video as usual thank you for your hard work and joy you bring to so many of us!

[@teresahamilton7801]

So lovely to see you turn yesterdays "garbage" into today's treasure.

[@amandabell8827]

Thank you so much for the beautiful tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth 😥💗 x

[@denisew3917]

Nice to see Florrie finding treasures with you. Clock hand interlude was perfect timing. Condolences on the loss of your beloved Queen.

[@charlenerichardson2623]

Such wonderful finds! I wish to extend to Al of you my appreciation for the life of a monarch lived to perfection. Although she had served for such a long time, she will be sorely missed, not just by your commonwealth,but by the entire world

[@julietaylor6536]

I am so sorry for the loss of your Queen. Your choice of music is incredible. Keep up the good work.

[@allenhedge5060]

Thank you again for a fantastic video. As usual incredible finds and fantastic photography. It was nice meeting Florrie and seeing her finds..... I have deliberately waited to send this comment, the loss of Her Gracious Majesty was a shock. May she Rest in Eternal Peace. Thank you for the beautiful tribute to Her Majesty. My sincere sympathies to all who loved her. Avaloch93

[@fairyacorn4854]

Taht was a good day out with Flo and some really interesting finds that Alex had. Just love the clock hand, and the way Alex so patiently straightened it out. Wonderful. Our lovely Queen at the end was a nice surprise. Thank you girls.

[@jacquecaeser9078]

Love you guys! So sorry for your loss of Queen Elizabeth II. She was legend. Thanks for your channel.

[@cynthiat6505]

Okay, I want your playlist of musical pieces!!! Perfect!!! And what you did, Alex, with the clock hand, was just wonderful!! You tribute at the end was lovely. 😥

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

More amazing finds! You are so clever to recognize so many materials! Sympathies for the loss of your remarkable Queen. The end of one era and, hopefully, the beginning of a bright sustainable one with your new king.

[@wha64]

Excellent finds and wonderful video as usual ladies. Beautiful montage of the Queen. Not just Englands lost but the world as well.

[@kristindematteis5612]

The little mouse you found is a "Diddl Maus"😄 here in Germany we used to collect these in the 90s😊 i still have a huge collection of stationary and figurines at home😄 who knows what a journey this little mouse has made🤭

[@traciestewart9487]

That clock hand was amazing! You all are in my prayers during this difficult time. Queen Elizabeth was an amazing woman!

[@victorromeo2238]

Super video, God save the Queen.R.I.P..

[@linzertube]

Well, between the 3 of you, you did find a rainbow 🌈 of beads…so amazing! And, you brought the clock-hand back to shiny, detailed life, Alex! Patiently done! A lovely tribute to Queen Elizabeth II…it was nice to see pictures of Her Majesty that I have not seen previously.

[@iansuehooper7542]

Great skills in bringing that delicate clock hand back to life. Best find of a lovely day out. Nice to see Florrie join you again at the location with best bridge in the world as your backdrop. Excellent tribute to the Queen, well done.

[@terriatwell4041]

Lovely day-the clock hand is wonderful and beautifully restored. Lots of lovely beads too-especially the cornerless cubes. And....your tribute to the Queen was touching. The parting glass is always poignant.

[@pennyhoward3438]

Beautiful clock hand so well made. Wonderful finds. R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth 11🇬🇧🙏

[@bryanwoodrich]

Also a little prayer offering to folks in Florida

[@stevebonds4698]

Fantastic Job Alex restoring that clock hand. You did great. Congratulations on the find. Your friend, Steve Bonds from Bay City, Michigan USA. P.S. Very sorry for the loss of your Queen. She was a inspiration to us all, not just in England but the whole world. May she rest now in peace with Prince Philip

[@j.k.rector9818]

Love the tribute to the Queen and all the wonderful wood and brass knobs, as well as the clock hand - great find ☺️ 🇺🇸

[@rockreader4298]

Gail, both your, Alex and Florrie's treasures with all their character and history, were wonderful in my eyes, special favorites were Alex's Edwardian clock hand, Gail's nickel silver spoon and Florrie's miniscule jam jar. Perhaps on your Northern Mudlarks Make channel, you can take your well-worn spoon, restore to a shine and fill in the negative space of the bowl, with clear resin. It would give it strength and be a unique way of displaying it. Don't you think?

[@deirdrepasko9965]

Watching the repairing of the clock hand was fascinating. I'm so sorry for the loss of the Queen Mother. There will >Never< be another like her! Thank-you for the tribute at the end.

[@tarrasams7423]

Hello 👋 from New York USA you Guy's found Some Amazing Finds Thank you for Bringing me Along with you Guy's I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊

[@joanneemerick5785]

Dear friends- I was just in Edinburgh and drove over those bridges. I tried to find a beach to mudlark on and went to one where there had been old pottery kilns but did not find much. I had a prompting for several weeks to get in touch with you but decided not to. If I ever get back your way I will go to the beach that you just showed us where there were so many wonderful treasures. I have enjoyed your Vlog since the very beginning. Thank you so much for sharing with us your lovely lives and outings.

[@joanneowen4540]

It is nice to see your video today..as we in Canada mourn for Beautiful Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth..it is so nice to have friends like you to share the love and loss with..somehow that clock hand is very, very,fitting..much love and hope for you all

[@MisterTee2010]

I've been following Flo for awhile now. Love you ladies. God Bless 🤗😘💖🙏🙏

[@verdagarner5112]

So sorry to hear about the Queen Elizabeth, she was a amazing Queen, congratulations on your new King. Great video ladys.

[@DarkRumAgain]

Lovely little tribute to our Queen.

[@joanneemerick5785]

And, thank you for such a lovely tribute to your queen. I have felt the sadness here in America.

[@KendelsBestDays]

You did such a good job restoring the clock hand. Your description of it has me in tears! Very poetic.

[@Dove96]

the clock hand is the most beautiful find yet. You are so patient and talented to bring it back to its glory.

[@christineingram55]

[@deedorothypapineau6920]

What a lovely day and thank you for your homage to Hr Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It was nice seeing how you reformed the clock hand and polished the other brass objects. Bye from Ontario Canada.

[@skricha6743]

Excellent day! Enjoy watching you hunting, but you and your mum are truly the treasures!

[@lisacates4185]

Love you, from the USA,God bless the queen rest in peace 🙏🏻♥️ Love the coble stone road

[@DMC8707]

You can use broken glass for make a beads and any jewelry. So you can sell to your fans that they love remember your creatives memories. And they love to watch it. 🙂

[@maddyf8398]

Lovely ending. Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth. I think that clock hand would be great as a long pendant, whether a copy or not, with a nice cabochon or sea glass in the open end.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

I love when you find old pieces, fix and clean them and reuse them for jewelry or something else. I guess they called it upcycling? I love it❤️

[@shannahenk1655]

That clock hand is a real prize. Well done on your reshaping, Alex!

[@annetendo3987]

Diddl is a German comic strip created by German artist Thomas Goletz in 1990. The first sketch of Diddl was made on 24 August 1990. Diddl is a white Jumping Mouse, with big ears and large pink-soled feet allowing him to jump large distances. Diddl and his friends are featured on various sorts of products such as stationery and collectibles, and also in a range of plush dolls and toys manufactured by Depesche.

[@peggyreid6836]

Hello Beauties, Oh what a lovely lark with Floie (excuse the spelling). For future reference I'll refer to her as Flo. Marbles, beads and to wind things down with an alley gobb. So nice of you to have another friend on a fine Mudlarking adventure. Alex your clock hand is really fantastic. You straightened it out perfectly. So many new treasures, even a headless Frozen Charlotte. Congratulations on all the beautiful finds of the day. Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A.

[@omegasage777]

That clock hand is stunning, and the beads were so pretty. Please accept my condolences on the passing of the Queen. May she rest in peace. Love from the US

[@carolekinsey7835]

What a perfect days larking you had ladies. The finds were lovely especially that exquisite clock hand. I loved that very much. The work that went into making it was beautiful. Well done indeed Alex in managing to untangle and straighten that beauty. It looked lovely when polished. You could see all the patterns so clearly. The strings of beads you must have now, must be growing quite well. Loved the sentiment you added to the precious Niger brother's bead that Gail found. Such a sad loss, as they were so talented with their designs and unusual jewelry.

[@sisD]

It’s a BEAD DAY❗️ Great finds ladies and the amazing clock hand. I saw Flo and looked for Cecilia but not there. I just adore her, plus we share the same name. 💙 Thank you for sharing your day out. R.I.P. HRH Queen Elizabeth 🌹

[@avalon5957]

The mouse pencil bit is a "Diddl." 😊 The character was a popular 1990 German comic strip, which also had a huge range of merchandise. It was very popular with kids in both Germany and here in Denmark, and probably the rest of Scandinavia. I remember some classmates having teddies, bed sheets, pillows, posters, pencilcases, school bags, pencils, erasers, lunch boxes, etc, even clothes. -Basically anything you can imagine school kids to have, Diddl would've made it all. 😊

[@heidiavera5071]

What a beautiful day. Sorry for your losses of the Queen my Condolences 💐

[@kimberlygrise-bacon4458]

So sorry about the loss of your wonderful Queen... may God bless u all..

[@danafredrickson42]

so sorry for your loss she will forever be loved💔

[@judymcpheron5955]

So happy to wake up early and watch your new adventure with my morning coffee! Fun to have Florrie along. Nice fines. The clock hand was a sweet surprise. Cleaned up so nice!

[@oceanluvngal]

I recognized Diddl instantly as well. I live in Canada and had a German pen -pal as a teen in the '90s who used Diddl stationary, and sent me items featuring this adorable German cartoon character. You had so many wonderful finds this video!

[@stephanieloffler8566]

The little Mouse you found is a Diddl mouse. It was really famous in Germany when I was in Elementary school (90s). We were trading and collecting everything with Diddl. Pencils, rulers, plushies, coin banks, pencil cases - you could buy everything. If a paper block was gifted, you ripped some pages Off to put in your collection. Single Paper Block Pages were Stored in a Binder - sorted by motiv. The more different motivs you had, the better. I still have my collection somewhere as it is not of big value nowadays anymore, but it is a nice memory. Regards Stephanie

[@kenbritton8227]

Another really good one. Again, even your choice of music is a pleasure. Thank you all.

[@woolaminajunkjournals]

I'm so happy you fixed up the old clock hand. So much talent!

[@kariannecrysler640]

Windy, lol, but what a great day you all had! Love your garnet bead best, the jelly nob & clock hand made this a hard decision.

[@kathleenstraube5356]

Beautiful work on the clock handle and lovely tribute to the Queen who lives on in your heart and ours across the pond.

[@shannonkoeller8378]

Love the closing tribute to Her.

[@christiannluddington1370]

Enjoyable as always and what a perfect and beautiful tribute to Queen Elizabeth you added ! ♥

[@suzanconklin8415]

The clock hand would make the most beautiful large pendant set with an aqua glass in the round part and hung from a long chain. The shaft part which protrudes from the round top could be made into a little pinky ring. Love your adventures! Thank you. ❤

[@thesehandsart]

Keep the puns coming Alex😍😂🙌

[@wildlifeathome]

I know I've said this before, and know many others have said the same thing, but you both are insanely talented. I love that you have a second channel for crafting! Watching you straighten out the clock hand was impressive, I would have just ruined it by pounding it flat with a rubber mallet, no heat involved.🤣 Alex keeps amazing me with her knowledge of the things you find, she must have a great memory! Unfortunately, mine is going away as I age.😂❤

[@marylupapada4601]

Love watching things fixed and repurposed!

[@elainekayes8087]
