You have the best mudlarking channel, period! Thank you, Alex and Gail, for your unmatched attention to detail. You understand, those of us who watch, want variety, education, and a quality presentation, and you never fail to deliver.

[@loridietrich2369]

I agree, the jewelry and other fabulous trinkets they make by reporpusing there finds are brilliant. The clay pipe stamps my favorite.

[@loridietrich2369]

o maybe my favorite are the minature blown glass oh just so many.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Aww! Thank you so much! That is so kind of you to say! Much love! 🥰

[@johnnabuzby6103]

@@NorthernMudlarks I have to agree with the OP; your channel is the Gold Standard for mudlarking videos. You're informative and entertaining, and so lighthearted and cheerful, you lift my spirits and relax me when I've had a stressed out day at work. Thanks for letting me tag along with you on your mudlarking trips. Much love from North Carolina, USA.

[@bluebutterfly391]

Completely agree with you, best mudlarking channel, I have 4 different ones I watch, 3 I watch occasionally, northern mudlarks I watch for

[@enduringhope6859]

I have to live vicariously through you two! Oh, how I wish I could go treasure hunting as you do! It must be difficult to pull yourselves away to head home not knowing what treasures are being left behind!

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Oh yes! We do tend to stay here much longer than we should! Haha! Xx

[@DappledShade]

I’m growing obsessed with your black glass/jet mourning buttons/cabochons/jewelry. Faceted black is gorgeous. That little pointy icicle-like drop you found is 😍❤️🤤. And what a kind person Allen is! Thank you once again, larks, for sharing your adventure with us.

[@TheBigbossonly1]

Great video, Allen is so generous what a nice guy

[@jeriannroberts1816]

This is the best lark ever! I can't pick just one thing I like most. Gail's pipe and history is fantastic. Dolly for Alex is so sweet. The jet looks like a needle. I'm so excited for this video and the gentleman was so generous. Thank you ladies 😍😍😍. Blessings to both. I feel so sad for schwoo, needs a new friend.

[@janinedelcamp1941]

Gail, Your ",,,poetic justice" comment about headless Henry made me LOL. Love your videos!

[@kathya9522]

Gail and Alex, may I suggest a project? You could make little bottle hang tags for your best bottles to identify where you found them or who gave them to you. You could use pieces of found chain or make chains from found metals. For bottles you sell, make Northern Mudlark tags for them. Nice finds, great video!

[@judishubert6016]

Northern Mudlarks, I love your videos. Makes me want to be with you!!!!

[@beverlyb5144]

I agree. I think a tag and then sell the bottles to those of us who LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!

[@maureenfitzgerald1895]

It is so much fun to feel a part of your mother daughter mudlarking and artistic creative adventures! You’ve come a long way from the first videos, yet your sense of awe and appreciation never diminishes. Wonderful finds today and what a (steep/deep) adventure!

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Aww thank you so much! Every time we set out it’s just as exciting as the last! We never know what lies waiting for us! Much love, Gail & Alex xx

[@bonnerdebbie]

What wonderful finds in todays video, I adore the stoneware pots. Allan was very generous with all those beautiful bottles too! Thanks Ladies, have an wesome week.

[@christinewilkinson3772]

What a wonderful day! So many interesting things! I feel sad for schwoo, she seems lonely. I know you’re going to get her a companion. I wish I could send schwoo a hug or a nice worm.

[@beateheinze6569]

What an amazing location. You have found some great finds. Can't wait to see the flask covering.

[@tonywild1963]

That was amazing to find all those pieces washed out the bank. Makes you wonder what else could be there. Love those bottles and the history behind the police tag and other items. Thank you and have a great week

[@tinyTears]

Fantastic finds Gale and Alex and Alan gifted you with some generous gifts . Stay safe and well out there xxx

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thank you! Yes, Allan was so kind 🥰

[@larkdavis6041]

What lovely gifts Allan brought you! Especially the blob top! I love the pumpkin seed flask! Many thanks to you both for the amazing videos you share with us!!!!

[@nancyholm2995]

So many beautiful finds!!! The bottles are so fabulous! That is a very precarious cliff! So glad you hung on!!! Kudos to Alan for the lovely gifts!!😃😃😃

[@alisonh890]

Hi ladies, a really exciting hunt and lovely finds. I love the way your peacock comes to inspect the treasure!

[@linnetoconnell457]

Wow! What a pipe bowl Gail!

[@deborah2063]

The flooded river is really unearthing tons of fantastic finds! Congratulations on all your really cool items. Always Michigan 🍁🐦🇺🇸

[@umich79]

Fellow Michigander here. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have mudlarking here?!

[@VickieV1333]

You ladies have the best content! Both of you work so hard cleaning the items you find and they look marvelous! Thank you for being you! And Allen, your gift to the ladies was so sweet!

[@Kittygh]

Another amazing video filled with the most wonderful and original finds! Such wonderful stories and surprises with the gifts from another mudlark, Allen. Thanks for the smiles! Cheers from the US!

[@dorothypapineau8283]

What an amazing day you had! Never leave home without a few bags in your pockets. The cream jar is exquisite.

[@aleta5873]

The black pointed object reminds me of 'obsidian' in the states, volcanic glass...? But I know it can't be. It's beautiful. Oh, and I absolutely love the small bottles, ink wells etc.

[@WiseAngelUK]

It may be jet from Whitby which is worth more than obsidian

[@DiggingSmith]

iron smelters produce a slag that looks very mich like obsidian so if there were smelters in the region that might explain it

[@NorthernMudlarks]

@@DiggingSmith Good theory! We have found iron slag locally.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

We love it! Along with the little bottles! We’ll have to make something with it ☺️

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear lovely Northern Mudlarking Ladies. 👍👌👏 Hooray! At last! Before I do my usual long comment, I simply have to thank you very much for using a white tablecloth again at last. Any of your great finds looks sooooo much better presented laying/standing on a bright/light background. Best regards, luck and health to all of you.

[@brendawilliams7836]

That was very nice of the gentleman Alan to give you ladies so many nice bottles!

[@lynnbean9536]

Some gorgeous finds . I love the little doll and tiny bovril bottle. Well love all of the finds .😉😊. Its was sad to only see brown shwoo looking into the window 😥. Would have loved to have made it up to see you on your craft stall and I hope you did well . Maybe we will have a mudlark together one day . Happy larking 😊❤.

[@sonyakiser6374]

Gail...I absolutely love your voice. It is soothing and sweet. Thank you both for sharing your finds! Peace from across the pond....NC, USA. ❤

[@kitchenskillet]

My daughter and I regularly visit our local bottle dump and find bottles from local companies now long gone. It's sad think of all the small businesses that no longer exist. We love the cream pot and the big glass jar. ❤

[@mrbarbelbarbello2332]

Beautifully made as ever. There seems to be loads of really good examples of things you often find., and it all looks superb on that table. Thank you for uploading.

[@ceciliabar1706]

When I need to relax I watch your videos...the landscapes, the music, your voice and excitement... I can breath again... Thank you! God bless you! Love from Israel 🌺

[@denisemessier2815]

Another fantastic video!!! Great finds ladies! I love that wee bottle too Alex. It was fun watching the both of you climb around the cliff hoping no one fell in the river. Thank you for the history lessons.

[@sapphonymph8204]

Great finds! Mularking has such a wonderful community! Everyone is so nice and willing to share.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

We do meet some lovely people! 🥰

[@TrueVineconnection]

Hi 👐, Thank you for your lovely video. I always watch while having my Sunday dinner after Church...❤🤗

[@MissBowful]

Some really beautiful finds, and I expect there will be even more to discover when you get the chance to visit again!

[@sisD]

Really great finds! Hard to pick a fav. Loved the bottles but the stone ware was awesome 😳. The doll and beads and tiny Bovril were amazing. Great gift from Alan! So kind.

[@tmc0964]

I love your channel!!! I wait excitingly for your newest video each Sunday!! It’s become my personal lil routine for my Sunday night 🥰 the fact that you go the extra mile to reveal the history of your finds makes your channel so much better!! Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us!! Love from Northern California 💝💝

[@penelopesparrow]

Wow there's some high quality rubbish in that bank 😂 I loved the blue mug and the beautiful little burst lip bottles. The little black glass point would have been 1 or hundreds sewn onto dresses and capes as trim. Back when I made assemblage jewelry I had a small box of them and I turned them into earrings - they always went fast!

[@steventhomas4288]

Good evening to you all. Wonce again lovely lovely finds. Happy day's init..🥰👍

[@raeannuria5691]

Your enthusiasm is quite contagious! Well done you two! Thank You for sharing this with us!!

[@ronaldgroves6350]

Another great video, spoiled by you tube who for some reason crammed it with adverts!

[@ChristopherCirillo]

Loved all your finds and the terrific gifts you received from Allan. Fascinating so many quality finds were washed out of the river bank by the flood. Thank you for sharing your finds! Truly magnificent finds and storytelling!

[@rosanneinnes7872]

Thank you Alex and Gail for another interesting video, so many lovely finds. I just love the Maypole Dairy Pot, the history of it, is quite fascinating, also the miniature Bovril bottle and it’s colour. Can’t wait to see the new cover for the pumpkin whiskey flask You’re going to make, looking forward to that. The key tag is also very interesting, All so very interesting, 🐚🍁💕

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

This was an amazing video! It makes me so envious that I can't join the fun of the hunt. I'll just tag along with you girls and my other mudlarking friends! Please stay safe and be careful! ❤

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thank you! You’re always welcome! 🥰

[@linzertube]

Endless goodies! And, generous friends! That blob-top with raised writing is so pretty!

[@ilonamollema6467]

You've had such an amazing day! What a beautiful finds, and so versatile. ❤ Love the decorated pipe bowls and that flat seed bottle. Alan is so generous for giving you those bottles, so we can enjoy them as well. Thank you Alan! Really hope that the water level will drop, so you can explore even more. Wishing you both a wonderful week with lots of amazing finds. 😘 Saying hi from the Netherlands 🤗

[@shepherd4406]

I am glad you concentrate on the smalls. They are my favorites. What amazing finds you found today.

So many fabulous finds! The mourning bead dangle , pumpkin seed flask and the tiny bottles are my favorites!

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Some really cool finds, especially the bottles. The whiskey flask was quite the find. Thanks for a cool video, Gail and Alex.

[@jacksmancave170]

That tiny little Bovril is so neat, and I love the 'pumpkin seed' flask. Always a pleasure mudlarking with the two of you!

[@Panielle100]

Wonderful finds revealed by the high river levels. Love those tiny bottles particularly the aqua with bubbles; like a frozen underwater scene. An ink of any kind is the next item on my Mudlarking wish list. The bottles from Alan were a lovely gift, especially that blob top. I wonder what the story is behind the chain? Love the historical facts you provide. Great video Gail and Alex and it was a pleasure to meet you at Alston. Fingers crossed for Shwoo chicks in Spring time 🤞 Jeanette

[@NorthernMudlarks]

So glad you enjoyed it! And it was lovely meeting you too! We love a bubbly bottle and that chain will most definitely be worn again. Much love! 🥰

[@elainekayes8087]

[@umich79]

A fine mudlark to watch! Was worried about both of you navigating the dangerous drop and rushing water with one hand holding your video/audio equipment! Well done, ladies. Hello from Michigan, USA.🥰

So glad you enjoyed it! The treasures motivate us! Haha! Xx

[@patcummings2276]

[@dirtysecretsofscotland]

Great video - as always! Very kind of Allan to gift you those bottles. The blob top is a stunner! Not as cool as Alex’s mini wee Bovril though - I didn’t even know those existed. Thoroughly enjoyed that - fab! Willie, Sarah and Jack. :) xx

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thank you, guys! We had such a good time that day. The Bovril was a lovely little find - love anything miniature xx

[@gaynor3976]

When I hear your opening music I know I'm in for an excellent video. Wow you found some great things. I loved hearing about the metal key fob and the story of the man who drowned albeit not so nice to hear. The bottle collection and earthenware were a great bonus. Thank you xx

[@FindsByPirjo]

[@alisonlyons4691]

Oh wow !! So loved this video girls, thank you as always. Great finds and history especially the cream pot (I've yet to find a whole one) a lot of the pipe bowls seem to have what l call wheat sheaf designs, so pretty. How kind of Allan to give the bottles and that gorgeous wee stopper. Honestly, I'm so glad I found your channel the content is brilliant and so professional. Looking forward to a "crafting" video, hint hint no pressure 😉😄 take care both of you lol Alioban xx
