Hello lovely ladies! I’m in Tennessee, USA. Alex, I believe your white ceramic pot with the holes is not a pepper shaker, but for moistening clothes when ironing. My mom had one much like it in the 60s. Love you two!❣️

@@dioneglenn7692 Hi you! My favorite Cuban restaurant was in Maryville! Best Cuban sandwich and black beans and rice I’ve ever had. Since I moved back here in 2010 I haven’t been back to see them. We bought our RV from a guy in Maryville too.

What a wonderful lark! The tiny green bottle is amazing.

Love all the tiny bottles, the green one with the dabber is amazing! I always love to hear the stories of the quack medicines so popular back in the day, and the awesome women's history as well. Although when talking of Harriet's children and family the kids laughing and playing in the background almost gave me a heart attack since I listen with headphones, they just came out of nowhere! 😆

[@TinkersCloset]

Me also!!! 😂

Hey loves ta for all your loveliness started watching through lockdown just about to spring clean my sitting room after doing my kitchen and you guys are here to support me:) such fun and thankyou again, been so wholesome In a mad world xx ❤️ 😊

Thank you for taking us all with you 💕

[@Julianne955]

You two have the greatest "eye" for finding treasures in an area full of them! I mostly enjoy how you find the history behind each item. Have a wonderful week you two!

[@PiraticalBob]

The yellow object at 17:59 might be the amber mouthpiece of a meerschaum pipe. They were actually made of amber, until synthetics began to replace them. Amber is still used on high-end pipes.

[@releasingendorphins232]

Fascinating. I never would have guessed such a thing. I love amber so much. Thanks for sharing your information.

[@ALayne08]

Very interesting to hear the history of the finds you both collect, I love it.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

At 17.09 min, after finding a doll's ear, gorgeous Gail said: "And ears another one!" 👍👌👏😁😁😁 I simply love your humour, enthusiasm etc..

Headed to a Scottish Festival this weekend (in Longbeach, Mississippi)...last one was 2019, so will be ecstatic to finally enjoy the fun, history, music, and games!! Look forward to your videos every week❣️

[@deenalemon66]

I love , love the Northern Mudlarks videos, I try to imagine my McIntosh ancestors there in Scotland! Finally, made it to our Highlands and Islands festival in Long Beach, Miss. Thank you for all you do.

[@iansuehooper7542]

Discipline ladies, bottles were supposed to be a no no!! But who can resist the small cuties, like you Gail, we love the small bottles. Alex, your green one with the dabber was a beauty. Mr plod and the camel were excellent rewards for a wonderful day out. Those dumps and river banks in Scotland have wonderful and varied treasures. Thanks for all your entertaining efforts.

[@alibabafurball]

I really like that green bottle with the part cork and glass spoon. A couple of cool old caps/hats too. It is amazing how sometimes such delicate things can survive the elements and being buried for so long.

[@rosiamorrison6531]

Wow ! The finds were spectacular Loved them all , the little green bottle with the cork and wand still in it was super, I think perhaps Iodine or something along that line ! Great lark you ladies are great . Have a great week Alex and Gail !!!!! 🤗💕🧡💛🤎💥

[@FlippinLids]

I love your videos. I long to hear your voices filled with excitement when finding something you haven't seen before! I think you both are Marvelous! Thank you for your entertaining history adventures! What a wonderful rich history your Country has!

[@superbellabeau]

Love all the great finds. So many paste pots, pretty ink bottles and pipes! ❤️😊

[@donnabrewer4971]

I love how you take the time to research and share what you discover about some of the items you find

[@teresatucker3846]

Thanks for the great video. I sure needed to see you such lovely ladies, as I'm suffering with the thing not to be mentioned on KZbin. I'm feeling better every day, but wish all of the symptoms would go away. Thanks again for being a shining light to us all. God bless, and BIG hugs for you all, from Teresa in Utah.

[@gabrielebehr563]

What a lot of pipe bowls😳 pretty treasures. I love the polishing pots👍

Awww! I love the Pudding Family!! ❤

[@colleenmccarthy-evans3149]

You two...wow, your videos get more and more stunning each week...love the little green snuff bottle and the story behind the Needham's polish...so interesting. Loved every single second of it! Thank you.

Good morning from Michigan USA, my dear daughter and I love watching your videos. My daughter mudlarks in Lake Huron and she has found many little treasures. We love your videos. Have fun on the Thames.

[@pattimessenger6214]

I know you promised yourselves not to bring home too many bottles, but you found some historic gems there! Thank you for sharing the history you found!

[@cherylcarnes4207]

Iodine or mecurachrome, maybe genitian violet for canker sores. My mum used it on us when we were kids. Wow that's a bucket load of memories coming back.

[@harridan.]

hello, and thank you for taking me to the dump with you! i am grateful that you included what you did about the horrible cruelty to the working horses of the past. the photo of the lone cart horse earlier in the video spoke volumes to me; it was a most dejected looking creature. Horses are still being worked to death or near death today; draft horses in amish country, race horses who don't win are dumped into unsavory markets, owners of cab horses in new york city have drawn scrutiny in recent years. the ASPCA can't be everywhere however they are marvelous at what they do. i just read that the ASPCA handed out copies of Black Beauty to cab drivers back in the day.

[@ashlingofAsh7580]

Yay! First hour of my over nite shift at work is great now:)

[@mellomelo119]

Much wonderfull stuff to be found. Thank you for taking us along !

[@wittnessbe_judged8723]

I love all the finds you found today. I would be in heaven. There's no doubt in my mind, after watching all of your beautiful videos that you share with us all over the country. I have to come to Scotland I would like to look up my heritage. I am amazed at how much Scottish, runs through my veins I must have family there. But what I am looking for, is to find a pipe bowl, regardless of its condition. Hopefully, I'll find a clay pipe intact,a plan pipe bowl would be just as lovely. Watching your channel. when you made those cute little pipe bowls. I would love to make a pipe bowl with sponge wear, and then after I have found one, I will make it mine. After painting it, I will put it into the kiln. I'm going Flip it, once it is finished, I will tune it on it as it should be, then put a cone incense, in it and watch the stack produce smoke. The tiny little fairy house, will need heat into the tiny fairy house. I will have heat rising out from its chimney. I have fallen in love with your channel. I just wish I could buy a pipe bowl with out the stem. I look every single day to see if you're selling anything on Etsy. I am looking for just an ordinary Clay pipe. Fingers crossed that I get to purchase one from you. There's many sites that are selling them but it is not the same. I need it to be from Gail and Alex Clay pipes with nothing on them so I can make my own design. I'm so excited about it my suggestion to the two of you if you have enough room on your farm to have Americans and other people come and stay with you for a few days and you take them out to you treasure hunt, so that they can find what they're looking for. I'd take the trip would be absolutely worth it first thing to come and visit Gail and Alex the two of you have the sweetest bones, maybe that's why you're finding the game pieces to show you that you are sweet all the way down the bones. Do you think that there is a way that I could buy just one bowl just one pipe? Over I have a craft that I cannot wait to make a.m. selfish it is for myself but I will love incense burning to the stacks of the people I'm still excited for the two of you do you have an email account? I need to contact you directly and phone number with the two of you a mother-daughter team, I am overjoyed to see Alex gets so excited with her finds and it is amazing that Gail has just as much excitement as her daughter and one of my hearts would you considering having a room for an American stay with you for only a week and take me out treasure hunting? I am a disabled veteran from the United States Navy and I will save up for this trip. so I have to make this bucket list come true thank you for sharing all of this with us you are the best mother and daughter team I have ever found on KZbin and I am now subscribed to all of the other channels. That should say a lot within itself I would have no bad reviews to give you it's just a plain pipe do you have loads of them I just want one of them to make my magical fairy house. Some of my words may come out wrong because I use voice to text. I have a hard time seeing. I will reread when I write however if it is wrong I hope that you may understand what I'm trying to say. If you could just push me in the right direction to get your email address I have lots to say to you because next year I plan to be fixed and give me an opportunity to go to Scotland thank you for everything you do for us. I just want to find one thing and I have to go to Scotland to find it. Then so be it. I just need a little help could you help me come to Scotland? It is on my bucket list

[@TrueVineconnection]

Hi, love the tiny bottles and the babies. Also, the pink bead.

[@amandapittar9398]

Something niggled me when you say you find a bead…. It just niggled and niggled. Today it finally hit me. “Bill & Ben The Flowerpot Men” when they call for “weed”, the dandelion! Of course, looking back, we can see the subtext now as adults. I used to love that little program, and don’t get me started on “The Magic Roundabout “…….

[@nickgreaves3355]

Lovely I also remember those innocent happy times Amanda.

[@carolynmuto5283]

Love your videos . Would love to see what you can make from the polish pots. maybe trinket box with silver lid. would be so cute.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

Greetings ladies! I smiled when you said no more bottles, then begin to find mostly bottles . . . The Victorians seemed to have discarded glass and pottery to the extent that we Americans throw out plastic and paper today. I would collect all the little bottles too, and I adore the dolls' half head succulent planters Alex! Peace 🌻
