Mudlarking In The Bitter Cold! The Finding Of A Ring + Its Unfolding!

This week we returned to metal beach. Brrrrr it was just above freezing! In fact you can hear the wind blowing eerily throughout the whole film! However we did make a couple of artifacts to make the numb fingers worth it! Come with us and see what we find and how we try and restore one piece!

#MUDLARKING

[@sandralane1923]

Ladies your efforts to give us a lovely Mudmas has gone beyond the call of entertainment for us. You’ve frozen all your extremities and then some. We love you and your crafts. It sounds as if the wind will blow you both to a vast frozen place. Thank You 🙏 and God Bless You Always. See if you can use some of your found items, inside , for Mudmas. Please don’t become Two Frozen Charlottes, for our sakes.

[@sherryrector2275]

I do love the fact that you can find an old bent up ring, unbend it, and say it is what it is and still love it I just think that takes a special kind of person

[@MsDawnnee]

The metal is a 3 way swivel link for fishing. My parents own fishing tackle shops 😊 p.s the dress hook looks like an old fashioned curtain hook. My Nan had some the same in her tool box

[@4950joan]

Yes it’s a curtain hook, I still have some of my mums

[@rebeccahatcher-kaiser225]

The little piece of lead toy, turned around looks like the front of bird house with a flat bottom, the center hole as the door opening, then the roof triangle on top! Maybe Bitsy needs a birdhouse?

[@iansuehooper7542]

To brave that cold shows that old English determination to get the job done! Good effort on that ring; Kate, maybe you could fix that beautiful little cabachon on to it. Thanks so much for bringing us another enjoyable video. You ladies are beautiful people, we viewers are fortunate. Sue and Ian, Australia

[@anthonymessina2834]

Look at you guys! Out there freezing your fingers off while we're snug and warm in our beds! You're amazing! Try putting those coins in white vinegar. It'll probably work better and faster than a potato! The object at 13:50ish is a fishing swivel.

[@chrisshaw1529]

Hi, the round thing at 9;40 pretty sure it's an old curtain roller and had wire loop in it. Some curtains were really long and heavy so had the little wheels on top of the metal rails. Vaguely remember one of the Grandma's having boxes of them... Hope this helps with your research.. Chris..

[@marywood6001]

That knob could be used as a decorative vase in the doll house!

[@liacurran3707]

Nice job restoring the ring thank you for sharing Happy Holidays ladies

[@susangosling6122]

Hi lovely ladies, the dress hook is actually a curtain hook and I think the three ring things is the top of a baby rattle that had little baubles attached. Much love Sue Gosling ❤ 💙 💛

[@terriworley5267]

Tidings of comfort and joy...and warmth! This was enthralling to watch- the ring! Love it!

[@beverlysettle1084]

I think this was one of my favorite videos. I loved the birds head, and the ring and esp. the bell…a “Mudlarkers Bell”! Classic! 🎄❣️🎄❤️

[@christhompson4270]

Phew, I felt your stress just watching you un bend that beautiful ring, can’t wait to see it finished in a later time. Across the pond in Australia it’s getting dang hot, I’d swap you. It was a great day down the beach with amazing finds. See you tomorrow 👍👍👏👏💓💓💓🎄🎄⛄️⛄️🌟🌟

[@iamshotty]

A daily dose of Kit & Caboodlers is doing me the world of good. Thank you 💛

[@bigh3a]

The metal object made of twisted metal is a Three-Way Swivel used for fishing. Your Main line is tied to one of the straight legs, your line going to the weight is attached to the other straight leg and your hook line comes off at the 90 degree leg.

[@metaphoricallyspeaking45]

I’m on the west coast of Canada. I have never found anything . There is nothing! So I live vicariously through your videos.

[@simondavies9924]

a ring and bright water a marvelous marble and metal to marvel over when turned in to a renewed life a loverly video thankyou now hot chocolate and a warm by the fire for you two o and of course sunny cat to 🙂

[@sharimullinax3206]

Great marble! Ring is so beautiful! Two keys, the bird head, the blue cabochan with the foil back! Great finds!

[@Katseye102]

The three prong thing is used in fishing. They tie their lines to each of those eyes that way they have 3 lines for catching fish. I actually use them to hang crystals on then hang them in my windows. It turns on it’s own and sends sparkles all over when the sun hits. They are neat little things!

[@Katseye102]

I was holding my breath when you were unbending that ring! Well done!!! And you turned it into something wearable, if you wanted to. You girls never cease to amaze me what you do when your determined! Such a joy! Get some hand warmers for your gloves, it will help, and they make shoe warmers too. Stay safe out there girls!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@mhs4186]

The bird head is lovely find. The marble too.

[@theoriginaltuffy-bee3948]

So many special things with potential for crafts! And that ring….what a cold-day adventure!

[@Tealtra]

Great find with the ring even if it was from the 1930s. You guys did a great job bringing it back from being smashed.

[@richardserridge2767]

It's funny that you found a piece of Britains toy as I collect and build model tractors (although haven't for a while) but it's yet another hobby of mine 😂 Fleur did a brilliant job of unfolding that ring and you found some nice little pieces!

[@TheAmber52]

Loving the video again, top tip for cold fingers I put hand warmer pouches into each of my fingerless gloves they work a treat x

[@sisD]

Never seen a ring quite like the one you found Fleur. Great work restoring it. So many different finds. Stay warm ladies. Blessings. ❄️🎄

[@mellomelo119]

Oh I feel so bad for your icy fingers, not to mention your bottums from lying about the beach. It looks so uncomfortable, but you look and sound sooooo happy ! Thanks so much.

[@toastnotoflondon8500]

Hats off yo you both 👏. Who would have thought the 1920s Chinese ring would live to see another day.

[@seashoremudlark3916]

A word for those who are cold and could use a warm cup of tea or coffee...brew-tiful. U said it Kate. I think we could feel your cold weather🥶🤭through our screens.thnx for bearing the weather for us so we could mudlark with u😉

[@dorothypapineau8283]

Oh thank you for braving the elements to bring us an adventure! It’s blowing wild winds today in Ontario. See you tomorrow ✨💗✨

[@digi6256]

Love watching your video’s. Not even cold can deter you from looking for treasures. I truly admire that. In Calgary, Canada is minus 34 with the wind. Chilly…. Lots of hugs to both of you!

[@lisaaab]

So many interesting finds. The knob on a watch used to wind the watch is the crown. It is attached to the stem which goes into the case of the watch and attaches to the movement. More than you wanted to know I’m sure.The connector which is on the back of a car to attach a trailer is a hitch or trailer hitch.

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

Oh I felt the cold with you🥶, the ring gave up such a lovely surprise not being modern and a great job getting it back into shape. See you tomorrow I’m really enjoying Mudmass thank you. 😊

[@penelopesparrow]

The bird's head is absolutely gorgeous and the ring unfolding was great fun! As you were working I thought to myself 'looks like 1920s Chinese export' so I was dead chuffed when you mentioned it too haha! 😊 Your tree is beautiful too, so heartfelt and cozy. Thank you for freezing your bits off to bring us more tiny treasure 💖

[@larkdavis6041]

Bless your hearts for braving the cold to bring us such an enjoyable video!!!!!!

[@jennysmith7170]

What's a Christmas tree with out Sunny ? Great finds and lovely bell! So here's a gifty for Sunny : 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse 'Cuz the cat had pounced on him and tore him apart - Ate his mousey intestines and chewed up his heart. Kitty thought he heard sleigh bells, which made him take pause- He stopped daintily licking the blood from his claws. 'Must be Santa, ' thought kitty (that quite clever cat) 'Cuz nobody else climbs down the chimney like that. Indeed it was ol' Santa, so jolly and fat With a huge load of presents and all for the cat 'Wow, the best Christmas ever! ' Kitty thought with a purr, Then he coughed up a hairball and shed some more fur.

[@catherinethompson2525]

Remember every time a bell rings and angel gets this wings That's so cute that was Perfect thing to find mud Perfect thing to find mudlarking For Christmas TBE Red Bell! 🔔🔔

[@wildlifeathome]

I was getting cold just watching!! I'm glad you had a good time and were able to warm back up enough to share this. Thank you, and have a great day!

[@peggyreid6836]

Hello lovelies How wonderful. Such marvelous finds, a ring, a bell, a wee marble, and lots of odds and ends. So sorry you got so cold. Please bundle up more. Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A.

[@metaphoricallyspeaking45]

Gorgeous bird. I lived beside the sea on the West coast of Canada. We barely see sea glass. I could not imagine finding such cool things.

[@donnabowen1636]

What kind of metal do you think the ring is?

[@ChristopherCirillo]

It’s relaxing watching you do craft projects. I can’t do them and when I’ve tried it brings on stress and utter chaos. I’m perfectly content and happy to enjoy your creative projects 🎄♥️🎁. Thank you for the video today.

[@mayhmmaydn]

Lovely Mudmas to you toi!!! My fingers are aching just watching the cold wet beach scraping.stay safe and warm!!

[@snarkycard]

Yay! My birthday is November 13th and my son's is March 13th! 13 has always been our lucky number too! No triskaidekaphobia from us, thank you! Lol! I love the blue cabochon! It's glows like blue moonshine! Pretty!

[@kathysmith6413]

love the hunt and not surprised your cold at this season and by the water. i am staying home today and tomorrow as it is supposed to be -16 C both days but no open water for miles.

[@NolaHarris]

You two are so much fun to watch. You need a fishing tent like they use for fishing here in Canada with a little heater in it. You could just move it around and stay warm LOL!!!! I love the bits you find and your wonderful imaginations making them into something new. Love this channel. Hugs Nola

[@anniegironne8444]

Good job with rechaping the ring. Many great finds for this short trip. 🌬❄

[@gaynor3976]

Well done Fleur on unfolding the ring, you have some patience. Some great finds which I'm sure you'll find uses for xx

[@deborah2063]

Hello dear ladies! Another appreciated and enjoyable video! I have to say you 2 are my favorites! I hope you reach 13,000 by Christmas. Your Christmas tree is so lovely! I love the ornaments! Michigan friend 🎄🎅🐦🇺🇸

[@algiordano9214]

You ladies are tough to brave that cold beach. I want to wish you all a very blessed Christmas. Al, NJ, USA 🇺🇸

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderfully fun video to watch. Great job on the ring Fleur. Hope you are warmer and enjoying your day. I hate being cold, so I felt for you and your cold hands.

[@marshall517]

Merry Christmas and have a warm and cozy cup of hot chocolate to warm up those frozen hands with. God Bless and keep you safe.

[@carriebeyer1512]

Yes! Another great Mudmas video! Love it and you are finding mudlarking Xmas stuff! That is the sound of a mudlarking bell! Thank you for all your work! I know Mudmas is a lot of work but oh it is grand!

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

I could feel the tension when unbending the ring, I'm glad it didn't break! The small green marble is really cute too...

[@59tante]

Thank you for all the time and effort to produce your videos. Bright spot of day.

[@MillieOsborne]

Sweet finds…and so wonderful for crafting! All hail Merry Mudmas!

[@timefoolery]

Thank you for bearing the cold for us Caboodlers! Merry Christmas to all of you 😘❤️

[@lovelyskull3483]

Your imaginations are amazing. I enjoy hearing what you can make out of random finds. Thank you for this lovely video.

[@ruthbrowns8400]

Well done 👍 for undoing that ring

[@shannahenk1655]

How nerve wracking it must have been to unfold that ring! 😬 I am amazed at how well it worked though!

[@aliencat11]

Brilliant finds! Love the ring, it turned out great.

[@heidiavera5071]

Maybe if you go back you will find another piece. Another awesome adventure today

[@kathisease9924]

That was a bit grueling, but you did it! Crazy to imagine that ring surviving in any state all these years! Thanks for another wonderful video:D

[@mollyswan-sheeran2670]

I love the owls & mushrooms on your tree! I have those on mine too!!

[@tinacluff2793]

🥰 you always have such great finds

[@melissatettenborn4429]

Absolutely adore your videos. Thought you could put the knob thing on the top of the tack and make a vase for the dolls house 😊

[@christineingram55]

Happy Christmas to you both and your family.The winter is really biting now and I think your brave still going out .The ring was a nice find .It’s always nice to go on your adventures .Make sure you wrap up warm .Love n Light 🥰

[@donnawilde9853]

The little 3 way thingy is called a 3 way swivel and its for fishing xx

[@janicescragg2388]

It may be -27 Celsius with a wind chill of -33 but it is a dry cold. Nasty but not the same as the damp cold in your area. Damp cold just sinks into your bones and stays there. The wind makes it even worse in other words a wind chill. By heating the metal of the ring it would make the metal softer and less likely to snap while reshaping. Just put a stripe of ink from a permanent marker and heat it until the mark disappears. This will not melt the ring unless it is lead or pewter so will not harm it. I always enjoy your videos and while it was too cold to film the art shots it was still very enjoyable. Thank you for all your hard work.💗

[@danafredrickson42]

i have RA and fibromyalgia and digeneratove disk disease and my liver is bad from all the meds ive had to take so i camt get out and watching the mudmas videos is the hilight of my day...That's what I was saying thank you for my gift is these videos I really appreciate them merry Christmas

[@leanneyoung5677]

Love your Christmas tree. It is beautiful. The ring is amazing too. I also love finding things and making something from bits and pieces. It is so fun .

[@jodybishel6556]

Your Christmas tree is beautiful! I still think about the china shard ornaments you made last year. They were magical.

[@JR-yz2iy]

Another great video, ladies. I was going to help identify the fishing swivel but others have already done so. All that remains is to wish you both and the rest of your family, a happy Christmas.

[@lindamartinez2896]

I think the item with three loops is for fishing.

[@margaretlynch1494]

This is so much fun, seeing you everyday! The tree is gorgeous!🎄🙋‍♀️❤🎄 I shared this episode on my Facebook page! Hope you make your lucky 13 !

[@danieltporter959]

Awesome job unwrapping that Ring!

[@seashoremudlark3916]

I luv listening to u both imagining what your finds will become..so fun

[@perseena1]

Lovely ring, My ring(same as pic , different insert) was handed down to me from my Grandmother. Love your videos ❤️

[@zbigniew.8261]

Best regards from Poland. 👍💙

[@ALayne08]

Nice finds, and I love you old fashioned Christmas tree !

[@TheConfusername]

The pretty bird's head looks a lot like a sandhill crane!

[@catherinewilliams3850]

You need a small magnet to help with the nails and other small metal pieces it would be easier on your fingers in cold weather.

[@Fees-Shed]

It’s a curtain hook (not a dress hook) you can still buy them, if you don’t like the white plastic ones. 👍🏻💜 fee

[@julielandy9162]

Brilliant, well done on the 1920s ring. The "knob" looks like a know from a light chain. Another great adventure. Get warm packets that you put in gloves, they are wonderful.

[@enduringhope6859]

I so enjoy your larks! Sweet tree! If you are willing, I would love to 'adopt'...purchase... that beautiful bird head!!! 💗

[@carolsledgewalker6903]

All I can say IS BRRRRRR. Love your creativity.

[@sapphonymph8204]

Well the ring is actual treasure. You have a lovely Christmas tree.

[@primitivetennesseechicks8740]

Your weather is more like the upper eastern 🇺🇲states...it has been unseasonably warm for December here in Tennessee. But the cold is coming...loved the video! Thanks for taking us along❤Merry Christmas to you and family!

[@ruthbrowns8400]

Well done for undoing your ring

[@luvjesuslee2033]

Kate I metal detect & use divers gloves. They give you warmth & the ability to use your fingers for tiny things. I do hope this helps protect y'all's cold hands in the future. xx

[@cherylswanson275]

You had some awesome finds! Thanks for the video!

[@salishseaquest7952]

Great words -- "For Crafting" and "Put it in a Potato".

[@tinyTears]

You look like you were both freezing 🥶. I haled my breath when you were trying to unwind the ring but yay you did it 😀 well done 👏🏻. Your Christmas tree looks beautiful and I just love the fact that you put mud larking finds onto it . Your vlog mass videos have been good to watch keep up the good work . And here’s keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 that you get to 13k by Christmas xx

[@patwithers1448]

Love from the old lady in Texas God bless you always and forever

[@dianecavallaro5227]

That looks like a moonstone Katie

[@kristidavis9945]

I was wondering if you had one of those fiberglass pens that you clean metal with? I watch Si finds use them and it does such a great job and it is gentle to the old metal. I love your ring you found and am enjoying each and every video.

[@mountaintopgranny5661]

So sorry you are so cold but thanks again for the hunt. Love you Ladies! MERRY CHRISTMAS to you both!

[@elainekayes8087]

I love the birds head wow the ring is amazing xx

[@RibblefindsandCrafts]

The bit that you say is a dress fastener is a curtain hook, have them on some heavy curtains at home as better than the plastic ones.

[@RibblefindsandCrafts]

The dress fitting look the same but are shorter.

[@backtobasics8910]

The mystery object is a swivel used for fishing. Normally they would have two ends. Your three-way one allows two lines to trail from one mainline. So one line would have the hook while the other may have a weight attached.

[@patwithers1448]

Love from the old lady in Texas God bless you always
