What a lovely miniature Toby jug 😀

[@tomburleigh9261]

Oh, wow... hadn't thought of it like that. 😃 Here was I thinking it was the soul of the child who owned the dolls and the teaset, imprisoned in the jug by way of an accidental arcane ritual involving sugar lumps and the precise positioning of teddy bears... but I do tend to head towards the dark end of possibilities.

[@shonamcinally8571]

I love your videos Tom. The baby’s bottle was amazing and I’m intrigued by the glass batteries. Thankyou for a lovely trip down the river again 😃

Thanks Shona. I hope to feature the glass batteries in a future video (very distant), when I can clean out the innards and make a mini terrarium in one or more of them. 🙂

Hi Tom! First time I’ve Chatted! Love your Videos!! EVERYONE of THEM! You and the other Mudlarkers have kept me ‘sane’ over the winter & now a lockdown Soring!!!! We’re from Belleville, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 I Love your Intro music, every time I start one of your videos, haha, every one in the House pops their head around the corner & says: “Sounds like Tom”! LOL we Love You and wish you all the Very best! I loved the 3 vids of you just walking also!! It was soooo relaxing. And sometimes I shout at the Tv. “No! Tom!! don’t leave THAT! Pick it up again!” Hahaha You are a Great fellow and hopefully One day when this craziness is over and we make our trek across the pond...we can go Mudlarking with you & Gail & Alex & Nicola & Fleur & Kate... all our dear Mudlark friends! Here in Canada, all we would ever find is beach glass & pretty stones! LOL not too many Headless figurines to be Creative with!! Take Care! And Next time put one your Waders!! 🤣😂🤣🦶🏼🦶🏼💕much love from Canada 🇨🇦 Carol, Mike & Scott & Kiki our dog🐾🐾😂🤣. P. S. Can’t see where there is a link to “James “ ? and you never mentioned his channel by name?

[@tomburleigh9261]

Aw, thanks so much Carol, (and Mike, Scott, and Kiki). I'm often pleasantly surprised by how families and other group dynamics react to my videos. Apparently there's a whole ward of nurses somewhere who watch together when on their lunchbreak. 🙂Being a small part in keeping people sane through the current madness has helped keep me sane. Us mudlarks are far flung accross the UK, do you want to lark with us us all in the same place? or are you planning a road trip? Next time might be in the next week, and thankfully the river will be low enough that wellies should be enough, it's far too warm for waders now. Here's the link to James's channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3SanYhner97l5Y It was in the description below the video... just below a brief description of the video, and above other links. Love from West Yorkshire, UK.🙂

[@carolscott4327]

Thanks for the Reply! And I went to James channel, that will be an interesting watch!! We would rent a wee car and make our way around UK. Mike’s family comes from Wales. He has an Uncle in Manchester still. And my Grandpa was from Liverpool & my Nan was from London. 👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️😁😃 🚗 So we want to make our way from the far South right up to Scotland!

[@tomburleigh9261]

@@carolscott4327 That sounds like a great journey. I'm about 25 miles from Manchester, and this place is within 15 miles of me. I hope you can arange some mudlarking with various youtubers, if I'm available I'd be happy to join in. 🙂

[@tereselapree222]

Quite the mountain goat adventure this day! One extreme to another. Quick sand ( clay grabbing your wellies to mountain scaling ! Some wonderful finds! The tiny jug with the creepy face was one of my favorite finds! The long perfume dabbers are also a favorite.

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Terese, it was quite a strange version of that site to encounter... more varied than the previous week when the clay was stripped bare, and not all the trees had fallen. Turns out, one of the perfume dabbers was in fact a Sugar Crusher, making it perhaps older and more interesting. 🙂

[@tereselapree222]

Tom Burleigh you find the most interesting things! The larger glass dabber looking thing must have been the sugar crusher. Very nice! How they survived is amazing! Seeing the erosion continue is very sad. Stopping a river on its quest is impossible.

Hi Tom. Just settling down to watch this before bed. Another great vid no doubt!

Thanks Ellie, was lovely meeting you too. I'm looking forward to some semblance of normality being restored, it might be a few months, or next year sometime... but yes, I'd love to go larking again with you and your dad, and Linda if she's over. Tom.

[@eba44]

What a wonderful lark! In my eyes, you pretty much hit the jackpot with a little of this and a little of that- all of which I'd pick up and be glad for! Like you, I always retrieve all brass and copper, and then... whatever catches my eye. I follow the tides, so the angle of the sun on any given day is different and can reveal new things I've missed time and again. I do hope you can make your way back home again soon- for your sake, but also for the selfish reason- that I dearly want to see a grand round up! As an aside, I have to say that where I live, they apparently enlisted babies and young children into whaling or other hard work, as there are few toys beyond marbles- and very few of them. I chuckle at the notion every time I go out. Chaos at sea, toddler at the helm. Oh wait.... ouch.

[@carolreynolds3650]

Wow Tom, what a treasure trove of old things!! Really did like the white bed pan with urinal attached, have one on a wall with ivy in it, quaint &, cute. Loved the tiles, I'll bet his bathroom looks great when finished, hope we can see it done! Look forward to seeing your finds cleaned up, & repurposed. Be well, be safe, your fan, C R

I haven't gone away; but after the last upload (a three part series over 6 days), I felt a bit fried and took an extra few days off... should be back on a more or less regular schedule again now; though not all of them will be mudlarking as I can't get out far and wide at the moment.

[@FlorenceFrazier2002]

@@tomburleigh9261 I am sure it has been difficult especially since you are not at home. The Johnson's are mudlarking again so hopefully you will be able to soon! We were planning a trip over in September but are unsure as to whether we will be able to make it or not. With the two week quarantine in place upon arriving, it would be pointless for us to travel. We only planned to spend 7 days. The yarn even I was going to attend in Perth was cancelled as well. We may just have to plan for another year.

@@KittyGrey13 I follow a few US youtubers who do little else but scuba dive in rivers. The commentary when it comes, isn't usually very interesting... but they're popular channels.

Tom Burleigh well I like your videos as they are anyway. It’s nice to have a ramble through places that few people would even think of going.

Thanks Mary; yes... I'm impressed with the scope of James's crafting ambition, I think it'll look good when it's done and hopefully he can do it so that there aren't too many levels in it to catch dust; or a stubbed toe. I might consider it as a project myself if I can ever afford my own house; but first things first, I've just started collecting pottery to tile a bird feeding station. 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and hope you're keeping safe and well.

@@tomburleigh9261 will be getting there some time very soon, need find out where to park

[@tomburleigh9261]

@@ManchesterMudlarks Ah, yes... the main place is closed, and I presume the gates are too, which could be problematic. The place across the river is closed too. The site around the entrance does have a high fence... so, the only real options from what I've seen is 1) down the duel carriageway a bit, there's a lay-by. Not great for parking, but I think if you wander into the greenery that borders it, there might not be a fence between it and the playing fields. I don't know if it's safe to cross the Duel Carriage way at that point, haven't tried it yet... there's certainly a center barrier that would be awkward to step over while carrying lots of bottles on the way back.and 2) Accross the river, there's a road with some parking spaces, and a wall with an 8ft drop down into a field, and then there's a padock, and the river might currently be low enough to wade across. I'm aiming to head there sometime this week, I'll tell you if I have success in getting to the site.

@@tomburleigh9261 yes let me no if you have any luck getting there or finding a way ?

[@davechittenden1657]

Some lovely finds Tom and a fun day out albeit a bit treacherous. I would hazard a guess at the doggie from the beach being an Airdale terrier?
