Mudlarking After A Summer Storm! What TREASURES Did The Mud Reveal?

[@linnetoconnell457]

That broken doll's leg would make a great wooden pegleg for a pirate doll ! Arrrr!

[@sticklebacksummer]

Your family warms an old mans heart. Keep safe.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Ahh thank you Paddy :) x

[@releasingendorphins232]

It's a year since you added this video and I have enjoyed it so much. I have never held a gobby. But played jacks so much as a child. I was born in Kings Lynn and was taken to America at 6 weeks old and have lived here for 64 years. I so enjoy your videos. My mother who was born in BLACKHEATH and grew up in England would have lived your adventures. The history you shared is priceless as well as your family. Your fan in Oklahoma, Barb

[@moleman1961]

Ah! My favourite line! “It’s a Beeeeeeead!”.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Hahaha I suppose it is kinda our catch phrase :)

[@Lecknye1961]

You're all so happy about little things.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

When you are crawling around in mud on a windy beach the smallest find becomes very very beautiful haha :)

[@helenamirian908]

What a sweet boy. Your family is lovely. 😊

[@paulsirens7259]

How many Mums will play 5 stones with there child as my Mum did with me over 50 years ago, a childhood memory not just of the game but of my mother too. Time is the most precious thing you can give a child and its free ;)

[@harridan.]

thank you for taking me on such a wonderful adventure!

[@davidcox2264]

Tell Oscar he did excellent with the round up.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

I will :)

[@Cate7451]

Sitting here with my old dog. He sleeps now. The orange cat cuddles happily up against me enjoying the warmth on a sudden cool summer day. Roddy, the big white dog, has come to the end of his winter. Goodbyes and final hugs for him. Thank you all my friends. Your happiness warms me.

[@katecarpenter7366]

I love the excitement in Kates voice, the smile on her face when a find amazes her. I love Oscar's cuteness! Wonderful video as always.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you so much!

[@robertgregson2183]

that blue diamond glass you found would make a great gas lamp for out side the dolls house

[@HelenBeeee]

that cobalt blue stopper was the best find so beautiful

[@Hairnicks]

Never mind Mudlarking you could be nature photographers. Loving it and worth the wait. I have no idea how you spotted that tiny white bead, your eyes have become so attuned.

[@TheShowgirl25]

The blue glass stopper is stunning. The buffalo pipe bowl is great. The dogs head is cute. Love Kates rabbit earrings. Five stones is the same game as fives, yes?

[@jeanniegreen2201]

The camera work is amazing! So pretty, even in the rain. You can use the broken doll's leg and add a little peg on the end to make a pirate doll.

[@nickydenning6988]

Excellent idea Jeannie! 😊

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

We made a Pirate once at Halloween :)

[@ausendabordalo5654]

Ooo what a beautiful blue stopper. Congrats

[@craftyjoy9]

Hi! You can make a picture for your dollhouse using the oval metal piece and a picture from the newspaper you found! Just an idea! Thanks for sharing your treasures! 🙋🏼‍♀️📰🇺🇸🙏🏻

[@IamBlueCat666]

You guys are such a cute family. Stay that way🌹

[@lorrydodge5917]

Your Oscar is so darn cute...he should help more often .Your so blessed to have such a nice family.

[@maryjohawkins4480]

That little bit of jewelry looks like old and newer beads put together, pretty little dance of beads

[@mayhmmaydn]

Thankyou for playing gobs.. I still would love to learn knucklebones

[@sandrasmith7065]

Wow! that cobalt blue stopper was worth the whole trip! Great finds, thanks for bringing us along :)

[@nancynordquist820]

Loved this--retired teacher here and I miss my kids!!!

[@maryjohawkins4480]

The "knob" on the underside of the tile is how it would have been set in packed sand or other packing, it gives the tile stability.

[@davidmurray9844]

Good job thank you for sharing

[@JJ-iq8mi]

I found my first dump bead today and thought of you both 😃 I had to day "It's a beeeead!" to myself 😄

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Yay! Nothing like a beeeeead! :)

[@liacurran3707]

love that beautiful blue stopper and amazing pipe bowls thanks for sharing Oscar keep playing you will master the game.

[@wsurfs]

VERY interesting...I love mudlarking..!! Enjoy finding your treasures and thank you for sharing with us.!!! Stay safe..!!

[@ALayne08]

The half a claw pipe bowl would make a beautiful necklace. The music is perfectly matched and beautiful with the video.

[@annemariemayr3576]

I love your video. You both are a gteat, mother and son couple. May God bless you for that 100 decade..hold you in health and happyness..🖐🙏💖🥰🍀❤👍

[@Hairnicks]

Lovely to see Oscar on the roundup, the Gobby match was funny.

[@BrennieHalaBear]

Great finds!!! And oh...I love Kate's rabbit earrings!!! Oscar is so adorable! Glad he enjoyed playing the game. Can't wait for the next video! Have a great weekend!

[@larkdavis6041]

Oscar did a great job! I have to say, just me personally, I liked the roundups better when they were laid in front of you with Sunny giving his approval 😊

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

We may do some like that again but we like to change things up to keep it interesting :)

[@lynnhamps7052]

Used to love playing Jax , they were silver metal, sort of spikey 'sputnik' shaped, best played on a smooth pavement, you would toss them over the ground and use a small rubber ball taking it in turns to pick up one, then two etc until all the Jax were picked up. .the one who got the most at the end won. The most I could pick up in one go was 17, not bad considering I had such small hands then....in the summer we would play for hours, such simpler times.

[@bluesingmusic3443]

My aunts were adept at jacks. They had additional moves, I remember being very young watching them play. They had one challenge as the game went on called "pig in a poke" they'd slide the jacks into a cave of sorts their free hand made. Very long ago. But this game reminded me of jacks as well. Good for hand eye coordination.

[@lynnhamps7052]

​@@bluesingmusic3443 Oh I remember that now you mention it but we called it 'stables' we also played 'Around the World' where you had to circle your hand around the ball before picking up the jax and then catching the ball, also remember having to catch the jax on the back of your hands to see who would go first...happy days..lol

[@bluesingmusic3443]

@@lynnhamps7052 yes I remember that too. TBH I could barely get past, 2s. LoL

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

Im at work right now, but based on the joy in Kates face in the thumbnail, I am going to love this video! 🥰

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

yup. Love those windy gloomy days! The blue bottle stop is absolutely fabulous...

[@virginiabell7709]

Thanks for filling in Oscar.

[@Indy__isnt_it]

I love you found a "real" frozen Charlotte! As a crafter in the US, I follow an artist named Tim Holtz who sells art supplies to create mixed media art. Many years ago he decided to replicate a frozen Cjarlotte doll for use in art projects! Had he not oroduced and ontroduced a world of makers to his antique replicas, i would have had no clue why you'd be excited over a doll, even with no head!!! LoL tfs!

[@debraday5682]

Funny you should apologize for your home. The whole time I was watching, I was thinking how charming it was, and how lovely the displays of objects are. It. Exudes warmth and love! Oscar is adorable.☺️

[@yvonnemccullaghward361]

Such wonderful hobbies and doing them with each other. Bliss

[@erinrabideau3691]

Love that blue bottle stop!!!

[@smurph4959]

Oscar is fantastic, so patient 🌼

[@rdon53]

Think the cobalt blue stopper was best, think James Bond likes his drinks shaken, not stirred, probably even more if it's perfume.

[@Bibi3_7]

Oscar is a precious child! He is smart and funny and so loving ❤️ Thank you Oscar for doing such a wonderful round up with your mom!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@joclothier5536]

Hi there. I think that the greatest challenge with jacks is to catch the ones you throw in the air on the back of your hand,not in the palm !!!! Good luck with having a go with that.!!! Greetings from Wolverhampton in The West Midlands. xxxxxxxx

[@nicolepowell5470]

I've now heard of gobbys and blobbys watching mudlarking videos i love it

[@Ty_The_Bonsai_Guy]

I like acorns too Kate. I make necklaces from them. They're good luck. 😁👍 When you hold an acorn in your hand you're holding potential. That acorn, if planted, could grow into a huge oak tree. Then that tree will bear thousands of acorns in its life and each of those could grow into a tree. So when you hold a single acorn in your hand, you're holding a potential forest in the palm of your hand. Cool huh? 🤍 Ty the bonsai guy.

[@sherryrector2275]

Wow indeed awesome blue stopper.

[@tracycrum9829]

Wonderful finds! And I adore your youngest and you playing at the end ♡ he was so cute helping you.

[@maryowens9179]

I enjoyed you and Oscars roundup.so cute.

[@theresabraddock9310]

well, if you want to be put in a good mood just watch this video and get happy! the giddy excitement is enough to start your day out with a smile and appreciation over the little things.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you that is a kind thing to say :)

[@richardserridge2767]

Fab as ever! Hope Kate doesn't work too hard! 😦 It is great to see Fleur and Oscar playing 5 stones! Looks like a fun game.

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

Cute Oscar! Just like my son was, looking shy until it was just family around. He is just like me now, he can't go anywhere that he doesn't meet someone he knows and then stops and talks. Me, if I don't know anyone I talk to those I have never met and get to know them. I feel your Kate is like that in a way. She is quite but talk about something she is very interested in and she gets very animated and excited, I love their energy! Please stay safe. ❤

[@sisD]

Great game of gobbies! Super round-up with Oscar. Loved the blue bottle stopper. The pipes were amazing. 🦋

[@celtic_bard]

Kate is amazing. So much so that her enthusiasm is infectious.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you I think so too but I am biased as her mother :)

Woo you all find such fun items, and your little boy is just adorable there at the end : )

The pottery with the lump was probably a plate or stand with legs.

[@KitKat-tl7zv]

Hi, I just found you today and watched the most current vlog and this one. I'm enjoying it very much. I'm from Southern California and lived there for 62 years. Now I'm in North Georgia in a town called Woodstock. I have no clue where I would go mudlarking if I were still in California because where ever there's water, except beaches, there would be no way we would be able to do it without it being illegal. Now in Georgia I'm nowhere near a beach but there are streams, lakes, rivers etc everywhere. Maybe after my knee replacement and some research I could find some dumping places that are available to go to. I think it would be fun. Of course it won't be as old as the things you find but I know there will be something, at least some arrowheads. I'm glad you played the five stones game because I had no clue what you were talking about. A couple comments - the unidentified item - perhaps it's a roof tile and the bump thing is to keep it in place. (?) The casio watch - perhaps it's not broke but needs a battery. Just a note - it's hard to see items when you show them especially the little bits. I recently saw a woman tell a vlogger on her video that if she holds the item in one hand and holds the palm of the other hand very flatly behind the item the details can be made out and is so much easier to see the size of it. Thank's for sharing your life hobby with us.

[@user-us8zf3ew5i]

Hi Fleur, I think the glazed mystery object is part of a footed platter. The glazing looks very decorative in color and the bulbus foot could have been one of 3 or 4 feet. It appears to have some sort of rimmed edge about it so perhaps it was use for slicing fruit and the rimmed edge would catch the juices. Just a guess....but it's fun letting one's imagination go and try and guess what it may have been!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Interesting theory I will have to look into that. I love a mystery item the ideas are endless and sometimes they turn out to be amazing things! :)

[@user-us8zf3ew5i]

@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers YES! I love the fact that you two are somewhat historians and take the time to find out what things are. I rather enjoy that you and Kate do follow up and post in your videos when you find out what a mystery item is. Onward super sleuths!

[@kayesdigginit1519]

What did you discover about that piece these 2 years ago? @@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers

That was so good .you found some great things.but the icing on the cake was seeing Oscar he is the image of Kate you have two lovley looking children Fleur. Well done Oscar on getting the four.as they say if at first you dont succeed try try and try again and you did it.take care.🐱

[@markparker3801]

The tubed piece of glass that she found along with the flat piece of pinkish glass with the shells and seaweed the 1st piece of glass she found is a flower Bud vase That was very popular during the thirties and forties it would be used in a little metal holder and would be placed on tables especially during the time of the USO's shows.

[@rockreader4298]

Jody, If I may offer a suggestion on removing elderberries from the stem? Rinse the bunches of Berries on the stem, Then Put the Berries in a plastic or paper Bag and (Freeze them before removing the berries from stem) and put the bag in the freezer til good and frozen, then remove the bag from freezer and while still frozen, Shake the heck out of the Bag. Open bag and dump the loose berries into a large bowl or pan. : )Most berries will be loose.

Really enjoyed this so much. Never apologise for living...mess? I didn't notice anything messy myself. I was thinking how interesting your home looked. Lots of things to look at. I think its the small things ypu find and are interested in that i enjoy most from your finds. Such very interesting little treasures. I love also that you make use of your found objects and enjoy to see what you make from them. Re the Gobbies, years ago my hubby found a partially made one in our garden...or a very worn one? Always wondered what it was and always kept hold of it. Playing that game reminded me of playng Jacks as a child. A very homely and comforting end to this extended post. What a lovely young man you have there. X
