Description:
Today we are in West Wemyss - you may recall that name! It is ubiquitous in this area and has a far reaching influence in the Kingdom of Fife! The area was once famous for coal production.
The bay is rock strewn - so many gorgeous pebbles, and natural sandstone erosion on the bay. The day begins slowly, we find little at first as we make our way along to Blair Point. The rock formations, cliff collapse and today's rough seas make this an amazing place to spend some time pondering the millions of years over which coal formed here in the earths layers, trapping plants and animals as it formed!
The area is designated for special conservation - this and many of the areas along the coast here are famous for fossils. For that reason, no hammering of the bedrock is permitted... We meander and see what the area has to offer - have we found fossilised grasses and plant matter!?
There is much to find without the need for a hammer though and we think we happened across a fossilised crab claw! It might be that we found a stone crab's broken claw! If it is a fossil, which we still need to confirm, then it is at least 10,000 years old! We must get up to speed on fossils!
We amass a really nice collection of things today - well worth the trip! Among them a beautiful piece of flash glass, a lovely little blue shard, though we are really happy with the 1930s Jarry can cap! It really inspires thoughts about how it got here, who used it back in the war years and beyond! Little things like this really make us happy! And... so does our wee spoon - lovely to find a nice range of things!
We return home where Nicole makes some lovely pieces of jewellery from today's finds and includes some unique pebble jewellery... Oh! That wee wishing stone is a lovely thing!
We are in for a real treat today as we get to open the gift package sent to us by Kit & Caboodlers - its amazing, such a wonderful collection of really lovely finds and crafted pieces! So many nice things, thank you!! They are too nice to stay in a box, so we thought we would make use of a shadow frame to display some of the wonderful wee trinkets we are so lucky to have!
We hope you enjoyed today's video... Thank you so much!

--Update on Scotland's COVID restrictions--
We continue to follow restrictions so that we can work safely, responsibly, and legally.
Guidelines in Scotland have now changed. We are now allowed to meet outside with two others from another household. Being the very careful pair that we are, we will maintain our stricter approach with the aim that, if we don't meet up with anyone, we hope everyone can begin to enjoy a life like the one we all knew a year ago.
--Our policies--
- Since March 2020, we have met with no one at all - and we continued to isolate even when restrictions were relaxed.
- We never film in a busy location - aside from maintaining isolation, we could not make restful, calming, or relaxing content in a busy area.
- Since March 2020 we have restricted our travel to distances that allow us to get to our location, film our content, and return home, without ever visiting local amenities, entering any buildings etc. This gives us a reasonable window to work in while also maintaining that we are not out for very long.
- We only film once a week, and we always do that mid-week. If we arrive in an area and people are present, we leave without getting out of the car.
Our policies are simple and entirely concerned with maintaining social distancing so that we can be safe and so that we can ensure the safety of others. We will continue to follow these policies fully, and we will cease outdoor filming altogether should government guidance change.

Amazing fossilised crabs claw! Glad you liked your parcel. Hopefully one day you can come and find your own pins and garnets :)

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Kate and Fleur, we truly loved every sngle piece in the parcel! Oh how we would love to come to London and meet up with you and go mudlarking :)

[@marshall517]

There were many sea shell fossils within those rocks. Please don't stop making your beautiful and serene videos. You are both a joy to watch and your history lessons and tales of your finds are just fantastic. You are both just lovely and warmhearted people. May God Bless and Protect You.

[@scottishmudlarking]

We have a lot to learn about fossils - really wish we'd taken that big red rock home! Next time for sure! :D You are so very, very kind, thank you so much, reading your very encoraging words is such a great boost! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@marshacrom6206]

I would have taken that big red swirly rock home. Wow! Some of the rocks looked like decorated Easter eggs.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Looking back, we wish we had too.. it would make a lovely feature in the garden! :D Some wonderful rocks on this part of the coast! :D Thank you so much! xo

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

Thank you, I love hearing the sea and the pebbles...some beautiful finds and jewellery too. Oh and the treasures from Kate and Fleur😍

[@scottishmudlarking]

We had a great day all round! There is one place, further along the coast... the bay drops off at just the right angle so that when the waves wash over the rocks, they crackle as they rejoin the sea! :D We have to go along to record that! :D Thank you so much! xo

[@northernflicker6590]

“Just a wee bit of finds”. The quirky ones are my favorite. Thanks for taking me along on your adventures. I felt like I’ve walked a wee bit of Scotland today. 🥾

[@scottishmudlarking]

Yes! The quirky finds are great! Especially when there is enough left of them to do a wee bit of digging around to find out what they were! :D That's very kind, so glad you could come along and enjoy the place! :D Thank you so much! xo

[@phylliswilliamstn]

Those waves on the rocks! That wild weather! It was all lovely, as always.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Phyllis! Oh we enjoyed the waves and the sound the pebbles made. That part of the coast is so different from other parts of the same coast :)

[@beateheinze6569]

I thought it was a crab claw but the ceramics didn't make sense. So at the end it was one after all. Brilliant find.

[@scottishmudlarking]

We have so much to learn about fossils, but so happy we found that little beauty! :D Thank you so much! xo

[@scottishmudlarking]

That would have been awesome! :D xo

[@nancyquinn3578]

Craig and Nicole oh how I would love to be their with you, very kind of Fleur and Kate to send you little bits, Happy Easter ❤️🐇 from Ontario Canada 👍

[@scottishmudlarking]

Oh wouldn't it be wonderfulif we could just step through our screens into another part of the planet share! You would be made most welcome on these shores! :D Yes, that was a lovely parcel from the Kate and Fleur, so many wee gems! Happy Easter! Best wishes from Fife, xo

[@salishseaquest7952]

As always, a pleasure to go with you even on the windy days. I'm guessing Nicole's wish on the Fairy Bell was for "good finds" or maybe even a marble. You still did find interesting pieces. @8:04 I was hoping you would take that stone home because it looked to be full of fossil oddities -- Maybe just to have as a stepping stone in your garden. Craig, your music is so soothing and magical. The Thames Treasures that Kate & Fleur sent along were amazing. All the the parcels were wonderful -- so generous of K&C.

[@scottishmudlarking]

So glad to have you along with us! Oh, that wind is a blessing and curse - dramatic, but noisy! haha! Oh we have a lot to learn about fossils - we also wish we'd taken that home! Such an interesting chunk so packed full of things! Next time! Thank you so much, so glad you enjoy the music too! :D Yes! Kate and Fleur made our day with that wee parcel of goodies! :D Thank you so much! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@kellyhawes8901]

I love the sound of the stones In surf too ,Nicole! It is wonderful to see the connections the you-tubers make, and how you share your finds together. ♥️

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks ever so much Kelly :) It's a fab sound and really gives you an idea just how strong waves are!! Kit & Caboodlers are so lovely :) x

[@rogerleslie4282]

Nicole I know a ozy bloke that would kill for a choker made from a spark plug. But hey guys nice finds. That tri metal cap is a screw in top from a 44 gallon petrol,oil etc.drum. Cheers 🇦🇺........

[@scottishmudlarking]

Oh! We missed a trick with the sparkplug choker! What an idea! That's good to know - wow! 44 Gallon is bigger than we'd thought! Awesome! Thank you so much! Very best wishes from Fife! xo

[@elainekayes8087]

Such a beautiful place your jewelry is so lovely kit and Caboodles your kind ladies kind regards Elaine kayes from Cumbria xxxxx ❤️

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Elaine! Kate and Fleur are such lovely folk :) Very glad you enjoyed the video and jewellery making.

[@pennyhoward3438]

Lovely treasures from K&Cabooders. Thank you for sharing.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Yes indeed! A very nice parcel! :D Thank you so much! xo

[@chrisbgifford7387]

I'm thinking a fairy unicorn horn. The spark plugs reminds me of whistles. Your jewelry is always lovely.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Chris! Hahah that would very much fit in with the fairy garden ;) it does look more like it's a crab claw though! Very glad you enjoyed the jewellery making!

[@beachcomber808]

Wow... You had a great day. There are so many beautiful rocks, pottery, and mystery fossil crab claw. Fun places with a lot of history. Thanks again!🙂

[@scottishmudlarking]

Yay!! It was a fabulous day! The wind, sea and glorious coast! :D That wee crab claw is just amazing, to think how old it is! Thank you so much! xo

[@sionaharrop4486]

Happy Easter from a sunny South Australia. Thank you for a great video, loved the rugged coast, those rock formations were spectacular. Interesting finds and loved the jewellery that Nicole made. That was kind of Kit and Caboodles to send that lovely parcel full of treasures. ❤️🇦🇺xxx

[@scottishmudlarking]

Happy Easter from Fife! Hope the you managed to get an egg! :D This coast around us is a constant source of amazement - we have only visited this bay one before... Its so beautiful, rugged, rocky and blissfully peaceful! That lovely wee parcel of goodies from Kate and Fleur was filled with so many really amazing things! :D Thank you so much! Best wishes, xo

[@aliencat11]

Beautiful finds, what a great video to watch!! Thank you, and have a Happy Easter!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Mary! Very lovely to hear you enjoyed the video :) Happy Easter to you too!!

[@sisD]

What a beautiful video! The landscape there is amazing! The fossil crab claw 😱. I felt like I saw a “wee bit” of Scotland today. 💖 Thank you for the day out and the music. Your jewelry was stunning as well. Ring the bell for me next time you go. I think you know my wish. Nice of Fleur & Kate to send such lovely gifts. They’re so wonderful to watch too. Stay safe you two. 🦋 xo

[@scottishmudlarking]

Its such a cool place - it was the first time we got to this end of the shore here and only the second time we have been in this village! That's awesome... we hope we took you on a wee trip with us! :D We'll give than bell an extra ring, so you have a wish to make when you want it! If it comes true, we'll get you a warm drink to fend off the wind! :D Oh, it was such a lovely parcel of goodies from Kate and Fleur! So kind of them! Stay safe and well! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@noraleestone2859]

Another wonderful video, you two. I always like the beach glass best, but I enjoy seeing everything. It was so nice of Fleur & Kate to send that parcel of bits & bobs. :) And, as always, the jewellery you make, Nicole, is so beautiful. Take care & stay safe, & I'll see you next week.

[@scottishmudlarking]

So glad you enjoyed it... it was a slow day for beach glass, but the flash glass was a great wee find! Its such a lovely spot on the coast... rocky and dramatic! It was an amazing treat to have a lovely parcel of goodies to open back i the house! :D Very kind of Kate and Fleur! Thank you so much! Stay safe and well! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@rosemarietsutsumi1029]

Enjoyed your video, especially the rocky shore and the waves. Planning to go to the beach in a couple of weeks. Hope I will find some treasure. Happy Easter!🇺🇸

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Rosemarie! It's amazing how different this part of the coast is to parts just along from it. Happy Easter :)

[@danaholt1720]

Hello from Los Angeles California 😎 I am loving the beaches everything is so wild and beautiful and you both are such gentle people in this enviroment ...This is art in itself ! 👏👏👏

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Dana, that is so kind of you to say :) It was low tide when we were there, and it was surprising how vicious the waves were....

[@noraleestone2859]

20:55 I waited for you to speak some more, Craig, so I could be sure. You are quite hoarse, and probably not feeling all that well. Don't let the desire to please your subscribers trump your need to look after yourself. Here in Ontario, Canada, we are just about to enter another lockdown because of the 3rd wave of Covid-19. This time it's the variants that are wreaking havoc amongst younger people. so please take care of yourself, and stay safe. That also goes for Nicole.

[@scottishmudlarking]

BIG HUGS! Thank you for such a very thoughtful, caring and kind, comment! I've (Craig here) had asthma since I was very young and am prone to throat infections - they come and go, usually very fast. This one was so fast - a tickle then no voice in a matter of hours, though other than having no voice, I felt absolutely fine. My voice came back after a day but left me hoarse and croaky! Good news! I got my first shot of the vaccine last week - aside from my annual flu vaccination, that was the first time I was in an enclosed place with anyone, other than Nicole, since last March - almost total isolation. I hope that is reassuring - so very kind of you to mention this... It is a very difficult time, so sorry to hear Canada is about to go into another lockdown... England has began to relax its lockdown, though the numbers are still very high and I think its only a matter of time before its back in lockdown... We are a little different in Scotland, lower numbers and more space... but we will not be complacent despite the fact that things are beginning to relax here too. Thank you so much! Stay safe and well, Best wishes, Craig & Nicole xo

[@joanneash6470]

Is the ocean always hat loud? Sorry but I have no idea. From the prairies of Canada . 🇨🇦. Love your videos.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Joanne! Although it was low tide when we were there, the Sea was quite vicious... it's not always this noisy, sometimes it's smooth, but when the tides come in you can hear a change - I always think, it's like somebody pushed a switch - suddenly the Sea gets noisy. It's almost as if it wants to let you know, it's time to go home... Hello from Scotland!!

[@iansuehooper7542]

Once again you guys have begun our Saturday morning with another pleasant beach adventure. The rock formations are so attractive and beautifully patterned. Although few in number, your finds were interesting, unusual to find a spark plug without it,s innards. Keep well and thank you both for producing such enjoyable videos. Sue and Ian, Australia

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much! Its an awesome part of the coat and its only the second time we have ever been along, so glad you enjoyed it with us! :D Yes, nice but few finds - the spark plug thing is odd, we never found one until a week or two ago, now we see them every time we go out! Very odd! Thank you so much for watching and for awesome encouragement! :D xo

[@janicescragg2388]

Not so much quantity but definitely quality on this adventure. I love the pink sandstone in your area. So pretty. Me too, the pins and garnets from the Thames are definitely on my bucket list. Did the yellow glass glow?

[@scottishmudlarking]

So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, not so much of the kind of things we are more used to finding, but a reat part of the shore with so many interesting features! Sadly, no, no glow, but still very pretty! Oh! One day, we hope to get along to the Thames to meet up with some good folks down that way! :D Thank you so much! xo

[@alisonlyons4691]

Hya U2, l so enjoyed this video. The coastline there is awesome, thankyou for the wander along the beach with the amazing rocks and stones. I always love watching you make jewellery Nicole, and opening your gifts. What a great box of goodies from K and C, the wee head was beautiful. I'm off now to have a look at your shop. Take care and see you next week xx

[@scottishmudlarking]

Hi Alison! :D It is an awesome part of the coast - only our second time there!! We'll be back before long - we are constantly amazed to find yet more beautiful parts of the coast on our doorstep! So glad you enjoy jewellery making -we want to have at least a little of that in every video... Our parcel from Kate and Fleur was such a treat... so many lovely things! :D Our best wishes, see you next week! :D xo

[@gilltaber2187]

Oh my goodness, I love the fairy garden and the mosaics. Also liked that dalmatian stone at about 7 minutes. Gorgeous scenery as always. I miss the sea... but soon!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Gill! We loved the fairy garden too and especially the mosaic door and window ( they don't open, it's just applied on sandstone!)... Glad we could bring the Sea to you :)

[@w33lal]

Loved this video so much ...I will have to take my budding palentologists there (grandsons) lol again what a stunning coast we live on xxxx ❤❤

[@scottishmudlarking]

What an awesome day out! We had a great time - not a clue about fossils, but now determined to find out more! :D Hope you adverturers have a fantastic adventure there! Its so cool! You are so right, and it constantly blows us away - how incredible and beautiful this wee bit of the world is!! There are so many amazing bits of coast that folk just don't visit too! Thank you so mcuh! and our very best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@sherryseagraves270]

In some ways we take nature for granted, but the astounding beauty of the sea and the rocks is difficult to overlook on today’s video, especially the way you guys showcase it! There are so many unbelievable stones there on the shore. The sizes, colors, shapes and variety is amazing. And the wind and sea is so fierce! It’s a very different sort of lark, but very satisfying too. Thank you, and Happy Easter weekend to you both!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much! This was our second visit to this area and our first time this far along the shore... it is so rocky!! Blair Point, is quite dramatic with the cliff face - we were both really taken with the patterns left by wind and sea erosion... yes, very different, I'm not sure its what we expected to find there, but so many amazing things all formed by the environment! So glad you enjoyed it too! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@marshacrom6206]

The Northern Mudlarkers found a lot of spark plugs near a gas plant that had a boiler (which was prone to exploding) . The boiler used spark plugs.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much! :D We only recently started finding spark plugs! The ones we find are from petrol driven motors - small outboard engines and cars mostly. I (Craig) used to make components for domestic and industrial boilers when I first left school, a few years before I chose to go back to education! Those spark-igniters have a very distinctive appearance. As chance would have it, our video, last Friday, was on the site of a Victorian Gas works and we looked at Town Gas. Very interesting places! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@robinbradach928]

The rock formations in that area are amazing. They remind me of the American Southwest (minus the ocean of course). So nice of K&C to send you those treasures. I love the mudlarking community - everyone is so supportive of each other. I hope you have a lovely holiday.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks ever so much Robin! We were surprised just how different that stretch of the coast was compared to just along the coast from it... Kate and Fleur are such lovely folk :) Happy Easter !!!

[@patriciaglove8201]

I would have taken the lobster crate they make beautiful coffee tables and at lease some of that old rope it always looks good as a fence roping of parts of a garden thread it through holes in a post with knots on each side . And those stones on that beach I would die for, but I am a rock hound. As always loved the video and your jewery is gorgeous.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Next time! Its so good to get these broken things off the shore and away from the sea... Oh that is a great idea for the rope! Thank you! :D It is an amazing part of the coast... The rocks here were kinda special, the surface erosion left so many amazing patterns on them and the colours! Its one of the things that constantly leaves us in wonder - the beauty and variation of something like a stone! What a world we live in! Thank you so much, best wishes from Fife, Nicole & Craig xo

[@permiebird937]

The stone at 8:04 was chock full of fossils. Next time you see a rock like that, take it home and use a regular hammer. Lovely video!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much ! Next time we will def take one of those red rocks with fossils - Craig got me a fossil book for my birthday, so we can hopefully identify the fossils a bit easier :)

You do have other rock hammers around to use though! Nice finds!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Haha! Yes indeed! Enough tools around us to start up a civilisation and we didn't use any of them! Sometimes its the woods getting in the way of the trees! :D Thank you so much, we'll have to keep that in mind next time! xo

Happy Easter 🐰!!! Oh gosh 😲😊!!! Oh, I absolutely love seeing that fascinating old Scottish building...never get tired🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻. And those mosaics at the fairy garden were so beautiful and amazing 🥰. 🤞🏻 Hoping your special wish comes true quickly, Nicole😁. Such amazing stones(large and small)...so beautifully worn by the wild sea. And the colors and patterns on them...WOW, just awe struck!!! Just a wee few finds...but real beauties at that👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻!!! Pebble jewelry, Nicole... 😳 WOW, some excellent choices in colors...and a wishing stone👏🏻👏🏻. Much good luck to the future owner 👍🏻!!! How absolutely lovely of Kit and Caboodles for the Thames and "found" treasures. I've received from them some amazing and fascinating treasures, also, as from you, too. They are all so very precious to me and have a special place of honor. I can see them everyday and often send out well wishes and "positive thoughts" to my special families across the pond 🤗. Thank you so much for the calming video, my friends. 🥰🤗🤭😘👋🏻

[@scottishmudlarking]

Such a lovely thought... We rest our heads below the same sky and put our feet in waters that flow around us all... Amazing that we can exchange things from our corners, sendi them across those flows, and strengthen the connections through these things! :D Beautiful! We are chuffed with the wee parcel from Kate and Fleur, such lovely things! We have to find a way of getting them out of the box and into sight, so they can see the sun along with that gorgeous purple glass insulator! :D Its a fantastic part of the coast and only our second visit here... we're sure to be back soon! We might need a 101 on fossils before we get along next! :D Thank you so much, it is such a joy to be able to share that wee bit of calm we are so lucky to be able to enjoy on this coastline! Our very best wishes, hope all is well with you and yours, Nicole & Craig xo

[@dorothypapineau8283]

What an adventure Craig and Nicole. That blue egg stone is amazing as the next stone! It almost looks like a Roman lamp. Happy Easter from Ontario. I’m confined to my reclining chair with compression fractures in my spine. Still I try to get moving. It would be great to get out on that coast! My walker would challenge anyone. haha LOL Reminds me of the coast of Cape Breton Nova Scotia my home Provence years ago.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Oh! No! We hope you are comfortable and able to get around soon... Oh! If only you could just pop through the screen and enjoy the coast here! Its blissfully quiet... You'd need the walker on a good day in Kirkcaldy though! haha! I just searched images of Cape Breton - gorgeous! What a place! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo Thank you so much!

[@blondeenigma3882]

I'm a big fan of the Thames Mudlarks, particularly Si, Nicola and the rest, including the Hovercraft guys. Do you ever watch them and the amazing finds they have ? I like to scour the beach where I live in Aberdeen but never find anything much, save for fishing lures etc.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Hello! :D Yes, in fact, Nicola & Kit & Caboodlers featured our channel recently! Good folk! We hope to get down to the Thames for a meet up when that is possible! The Thames is a very special case, given its history and massive populations over the years, it is choc full of stuff from many historical periods! Scotland's populations have never been so condensed as London, so we get far less stuff and its much further spread out. I'd have thought there would be some really good places around Aberdeen, maybe around the Dee or Don? Hope you have some dream finds soon! Thank you so much! xo

[@kastah]

Did I see a Puddingstone?? Quit big, there where Nicole stod and looked out over the sea. (to the left for her). Nature make the most beutiful artwork!! I wish I had so much lovely rocks down here, by the sea, then my garden had been full!! :-) You make lovely jewelery!!

Oh! You could easily be right! We have so much to learn about fossils - we'll be back before long! Yes, nature is an unbeatable artist, awed by her gifts we can only reflect as best we can! :D The variety and colours in the stones is a constant surprise - sometimes we find a part of the coast where the shore is a rainbow of tones - just stunning! Thank you so much! Best wishes, xo

Hello to both of you. It’s very exciting watching to see what you will find. Loved hearing the sea dragging on the rocks. Thought of you yesterday when I was digging in the garden and found a marble! Enjoyed seeing the jewellery making too, the stones were lovely made up into necklaces. So many colourful ones on the beach there also. Excellent as always😊xx

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Alison! That sound is so spectacular - the other one we really like is when the pebbles get pulled back into the Sea :) Digging in the garden and finding a marble - that's a fab find!! Glad you enjoyed the jewellery making the rocks.

What a lovely ep from 2 beautiful people. The sights and sounds, the different formations of the rocks by the coast and the millions of pebbles by the ocean, all add up to a perfect place to be and explore. You guys bring me happiness every time a watch your channel. With thanks always, Take care and stay safe, Love Dena. x

[@scottishmudlarking]

Aww! That's so kind! Thank you! We always love reading your comments! :D It is a remarkable part of the coast, and only our second time in this area - very exciting to find our wee ancient crab claw! We'll definitely get back along there... and, not sure it will happen yet or not, but we might get the all clear to travel a little further by the end of the month, we won't hold our breath yet! A friend shared some photographs of yellow tailed black cockatoos today and I'm reminded me of those magnificent birds you have around you! What a wonderful world it is! :D Lots of love to you and yours, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo Stay safe and well!

Hello from Brazil Wanderful scenery

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Bernardete :) Hello from Scotland!!

[@geraldinethurston3676]

Fantastic geology evident in those rocks. Interesting to see the variety of colours and textures.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Geraldine! It is a fabulous landscape, so different from other parts of the same coast. We must go back when it's a bit warmer and just sit and enjoy the scenery.

[@sandcoils4232]

Nice scenery of the woods. If the rock looks to have burn marks maybe a meteorite. great finds on the coins and other relics. Loved your video,

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much! The black marks are likely to be grass fossils, that stretch of the coast is famous for its fossils :)

[@alisavogt2892]

The rocks are wonderful. I would have had a hard time not picking up a bag full!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Alisa! Oh the rocks are so lovely, some are flat and smooth and feel just perfect in the palm of your hand....

[@barrybark3995]

back in the mid 70s i found a lizards tail fossil on a big rock at dalgety bay beach.went to chisel it out and it broke into a 1000 pieces!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Barry! Wow that would have been an amazing find.... what a shame it shattered! Hope you found something else after.

[@catherinethompson2525]

Lovely video and finds, and Kate and Fleur they have a great Channel!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Catherine :) Glad you enjoyed the stormy bay! We do love Kate and Fleur's channel!

[@ilenehancock7595]

Thanks do much for doing your videos. I hope to visit your country some day.

[@scottishmudlarking]

So glad you enjoy them! Thank you so much! We hope its not long before you can come visit Scotland! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

[@shannahenk1655]

Boy, you know it's windy when the wind is moving the rocks you are trying to film!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Shanna! It was a windy day and although it was low tide when we were there, the water was still rough!!! Made for amazing sounds though ;)

[@bernardetebueno7081]

Vocês são muito simpáticos

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks a lot :)

[@danafredrickson42]

or an squid beak

[@scottishmudlarking]

Possibly! We looked it up, and it does look like it's a fossilized crab claw :) Thanks so much Dana!

[@danafredrickson42]

i was just guessing it does look something like a squid beak lol. just things to look up compair N consider.❤️

[@scottishmudlarking]

@@danafredrickson42 Absolutely! We have tons to learn about fossils so the more suggestions we get like this, the more we read around the subject, and the more we know!! :D Best wishes, xo

[@Mudpies]

Loving being taken on a geological tour of Scotland! Also enjoyed the waves over the rocks, looked like it was picking up ready for a storm. Thank you as always for the escapism, take care Josie and Andy 😃 x

[@scottishmudlarking]

Oh it was so cold that day! We were there during low tide but it was windy so the wave were really roaring 😃 Very glad you enjoyed the new location! Thought of you when we found the beach metal 😉

[@Mudpies]

@@scottishmudlarking love a good bit of beach metal 😍!

[@beverlyjohnson2266]

That stone with a hole, so cool.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you so much! :D So many amazing rocks on this shore! xo

[@lindamedaglia2883]

Hi, I just found your channel,I am really enjoying the videos.They are so interesting,also I love the jewelry making,keep those videos coming. God Bless, and stay save. Linda

[@scottishmudlarking]

That's very kind, thank you so much! So glad you found the channel and are enjoying the videos! :D Best wishes from Scotland! Nicole & Craig xo

[@lenaepoppe6194]

Thank You so very much for sharing I love the background 🎶..This may be as close to Scotland I ever get..that beach is amazing. Pretty sure if I got there my bag would be full of rocks! That stone is amazing with the hole on it I thought it may be a Hag stone... Thanks for sharing your day it certainly made mine!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Lenae! Lovely to hear you enjoyed the beach trip and the music Craig is playing :) There are so many amazing rocks on that beach, some huge, some small - we will go back and have a good look through them!

[@paulinegray623]

Love your wee Chanel. Love seeing Edinburgh. How lovely of K & B to send such a thoughtful gift.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thanks so much Pauline! We love getting 'Mermaidmail' - it's a swap between two people usually with beach and mudlark treasures! :) We used to live in Edinburgh , close to Arthur's Seat , Craig grew up in Midlothian....

[@anniehartley8851]

Yep according to The Johnsons,you find fosils in shale,any hammer will do,or just knock it with another stone,I love amonites

[@scottishmudlarking]

Yup! Shale is possibly the easiest way to find fossils - it slices apart so evenly - I grew up in a town located in the remains of Scotland's biggest shale mining industry, Broxburn - famous for its mountains of shale waste! Still so much to learn about them! Thank you so much! :D xo

[@brendasoler4759]

The vistas at this beach are so rugged and quite breathtaking; so different from my part of the world here in northeastern Florida! I felt just like I was there without having to put on a coat and boots. Thanks Craig and Nicole for taking us along!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Awesome! Thank you so much - so glad you came along! It is a really awe inspiring part of the coast - the sea has done its work beautifully! We'd love a little of the sun that shines on your coast! :D Best wishes! xo

[@MB-ex8ob]

Big hello from Northern Ireland ☘️ love the videos!!!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Hello from Scotland! Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed the video! Best wishes from the East! :D xo

[@janelovesy2399]

Thank you both ! What beautiful rocks !

[@scottishmudlarking]

It is a fantastic place for interesting rocks and erosion patterning! Thank you so much! Best wishes, xo

[@nubybautista9814]

I absolutely adore your pebble pendants.

[@scottishmudlarking]

Thank you!!

[@lenaepoppe6194]

Make long beads out of the spark plugs!

[@scottishmudlarking]

That's a great idea Lenae! I think we should def do something with the spark plugs :)

[@ashlingofAsh7580]

Those rocks are so amazing. Each one is swirled with other colors. Nothing js the same. I wonder how they all got so different and landed there..and omg that pink fossil big rock. Now that's epic

[@scottishmudlarking]

It's an amazing landscape with lots of rocks and pebbles. Some were put there after the mining industry left the area to stop coastal erosion!

[@ashlingofAsh7580]

@Scottish Mudlarking oh ok. I guess I'm a rock hound and didn't know it. I find all of it so amazing and the many layers of rock too. Way they are formed. Just so interesting...you can tell I still am not over it. Hahahahahahha! Thank you;)

[@judithlopiccolo4019]

big blue bead!

[@scottishmudlarking]

Its joined our wee garden collection of abandoned floats! :D Thank you so much!

[@nohjuan3048]

This has been fun but I've had enough of videos built around finding junk on beaches, rivers and fields. It's just not that exciting anymore.

[@scottishmudlarking]

OK, glad you had fun! :D Thank you...
