Mudlarking Menagerie “So Many Finds”

[@countesscable]

So much to love in this episode. The cute little bottles, the adorable, cute little dwt of a perfume bottle (dwt; Welsh for tiny-rhymes with ‘put’), lovely milk glass-there’s something so appealing about milk glass, I can’t resist it. The blue in that ginormous milk of magnesia bottle is incredible. The incomplete plaque type metal object is interesting, definitely an Art Deco piece I would say. The mudlarking in the brook is my absolute favourite. It’s very soothing and so much stuff to be found. I often watch these while going to sleep, then have to watch it again to see what I missed!

[@underthesurface4435]

Ah thanks so much my friend, the brook is my happy place

[@lisagriffin572]

I've watched most of the UK mudlarkers, and decided I needed to expand my search for American mudlarkers. Well low and behold I landed here! I love that y'all metal detect as well. I'm following you now. Great finds. Than you.

[@underthesurface4435]

Aaaah, thanks so much! Happy to have you aboard…..and you are very welcome!

[@treasurehuntingscotlandmud9340]

enjoyed seeing the finds well done

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks so much!

That weird bone is an equine thoracic vertebrae. I love it when you told the girl the birds would pull her into the holes.🤣

[@underthesurface4435]

Aaaaah!!, a horse rib attached to a vertebra, so cool!!thanks Carin, and just a bit of fear never hurt anyone, lol.

[@betsykuc6197]

Every time you find a marble, I get a little jealous! 😂 I love finding marbles, sadly itdoesn’t happen often

[@underthesurface4435]

lol, well… just found a broken one..

[@maryf6139]

Some of those small to tiny bottles might have held some Holy Water….what fun. Tu..Massachusetts

[@underthesurface4435]

That’s very interesting and I’m sure they could have….great bit of info, thanks Mary!, from Massachusetts, have a great day!

[@buttons3232]

Just don’t lose your marbles !That thimble is cool. Mary 😇. What is it , the metal plate,? See? Don’t lose your marbles. So many bodacious finds! Sewing machine Another piece or two of beautiful metal! Excellent video… The birdsong was so perfect, and the marsh looked pretty today too. 😎

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks so much ButtonS!!! Have a great day.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Maybe where you are sailing men made bone and even whalebone thimbles for their girls onshore. Lots of folks losing their marbles down your way! Great little dinky perfume sampler....wonder if it's Shalimar? That says grandmother to me! Love your stress relieving videos and the birdsong is a bonus! Keep digging!

[@underthesurface4435]

That could very well be and yes lots of lost marbles, hehehe...Shalimar, yes! Less stress is best!, have a great day.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Rocks Cousteau channel is good for marble info....he finds handfuls! Apparently lots of marbles are lost in his area! Enjoy!

Wow Mary! You are the definition of Strength! If I could I would switch places at least just once with you so you could enjoy one of my hunts in person because I do truly love it. Thanks for watching Mary, hope I can continue to bring you even a little bit of joy. Be well.

Love the bone thimble, the little bottles and the cobalt blue bottle. That little red bead had me thinking about Indian trade beads from that area👋👍. That building scene is terrific

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks guys, that would be awesome if it was a trade bead, not so sure how to authenticate that. Thanks for checking out the video.

Walking along the mud bottom so as to not disturb and cloud the water must be the best Ninja training ever.

Exactly!!!! That’s right up my alley. lol. It’s so funny because I use that expression so often.

[@kathisease9924]

Another awesome hunt!!! Love the finds...the thimble is beautiful, and I always enjoy the tiny bottles. Not telling what that bit of metal with the scene on it is, but it is amazing:)

[@underthesurface4435]

Thanks Kathi, have not been able to figure it out, either. Buildings with a bridge in the background, some lettering on the bottom maybe describing the pic, but can only make out the word “travel”. Thanks for watching!, have a great day!

[@alaskandistractions]

My first thought on the mystery metal scene, was a crumb catcher/dust pan…the scene is definitely the Chicago World’s Fair (1933-ish)…I recognized it from when I was researching a mystery metal scene myself! Lol I did a quick search though, and I couldn’t find any souvenir pans or plates with the same edging 🤷🏻‍♀️ but maybe that helps you with your research! Thanks for another fun video!

[@underthesurface4435]

Yes!, thanks so much. I could not place the scene. Amazing how much you learn just through researching items(that you are interested in) . Probably a tactic that would have helped me in school, lol. Thanks again my friend from Alaska!

[@alaskandistractions]

@@underthesurface4435 anytime! Glad to help! And seriously! If they had taught history with mudlarking and beachcombing, I’d have gotten better grades 😂 I’ve definitely learned more about my hometown in the past year, from random things I’ve found, than I expected to! Lol and, I agree, it’s totally therapeutic! I’ve yet to figure out my metal detector, but there is so much metal on our beach (vintage landfill) that it’s really not worth it to bring it…I tried it out at an old picnic area once and just found nails lol my kids weren’t impressed 😂 one of these days 😂

[@underthesurface4435]

@@alaskandistractions lol, always a tough crowd to impress, and yes the landfill I found here is tough on the detector, but great on tidal wash. Have a great day.

If I'm not mistaken, the ruler joint you found is a piece of a Lufkin brand ruler. Great finds BTW!

Are those blue floating baskets designed for this hobby or did you/your brother make it? Rayovac?

Hi Jean, My brother found the specs online how to make one and it is designed for water metal detecting. Very convenient when the hand shovel sifter is hard to manage in the water.

[@paulhaig4628]

The black and white marble looks like a Peltier Peerless Patch marble.....I’m wondering if the thimble could be ivory.
