Mudlarking What Find Made Us So Happy? Searching Scotland’s Biggest Victorian Dump! (Mudlarking)

[@rogersmith6519]

Your Chinese ginger jar/wine /spice jar was made in this style from the Ming dynasty up to the late Ching in the provincial style otherwise made for the home markets. Many of these jars never had a lid, they would have had a wooden bung with a cloth & wax seal. I have collected oriental ceramics for over 40 years. But now I'm housebound & your channel saw me through the bleak days of the Pandemic, I thank you & all the other Mud-larkers who kept me sane God bless & thank you.

[@gibbersking6575]

I, too, found these marvelous ladies during lockdown of the pandemic and aren't we all so lucky and richer for it! Discovery was one of the very, VERY good things to come out of that period. Especially when collectors, enthusiasts and specialists share their knowledge.😊 I wish you many marvelous adventures through the universe of the internet. ~West Virginia, USA.

[@Karyn1000]

That was very interesting!! I love their videos also! You must have quite a collection!!

@@Karyn1000 Before I moved here 20years ago I sold off 5000 pieces, but I still have a hundred or so pieces ranging from the Han to the late Qing. My Japanese pieces range from Edo to late Meija.

[@wildlifeathome]

My sentiments exactly, almost heroes in my book. I can't imagine how much joy they all were sharing with the rest of us during those couple years. They are why I started a channel of my own, to repay as many smiles as I can with the wildlife on our property here in Oregon, USA.

The tea cup is such a remarkable survivor I think it should go in the window of wonders. ❤

[@heatherreinsmith8286]

Yes! I second that!

[@lesk8823]

Me too

[@LyndaHill]

It's exquisite.

[@gipsymajor829]

another vote for the teacup from me

[@lauriebolles3149]

That was my thought too.

[@tracybeil9668]

I love how you turn the tiniest finds into history lessons and honor the life of someone gone so long ago. Have a blessed day!❤from 🇺🇲

[@maidsua4208]

So much negative and difficult has happened in recent weeks, divorce and death in the family. I have sat here and cried my eyes red and swollen. Then I come here and get peace of mind. The joy you show at your discoveries gives me joy and I rejoice with you. Thank you very much for your good mood and creative abilities, you are treasures on this planet. Wishing everyone reading a very Merry Christmas!

[@scottishscramblers9676]

The tiny panel bottle was shovelled out by us, we recognised our usual spot beside the huge bramble bush lol Some really nice finds you got there. We are heading out there again tomorrow, just can't stay away 😊

[@letticason8435]

How fun and marvelous, enjoy your day and wish you a great day of finds.

[@linzertube]

Fascinating that you found a Colgate product, PRE-toothpaste! I didn’t know that they started with anything, other than toothpaste. Thanks for looking up the history…it’s very cool! I’d like for the doll head and the figurine with headless cow in the window, so they can see the sun ⛅️, after being buried for so long.😅👍 Great digging, Gail and Alex! You both have eyes like eagles!

[@ilonamollema6467]

The Dr.Erdmann swing stopper is definitely German. Love all the finds! Especially the little bone China teacup. This one deserves a place in the window of wonders.

[@khayes9591]

Great finds as always! The teacup would be lovely in the window. It’s so beautiful and unbelievable that it held up! ❤

[@jeannienash5249]

They are alll so very beautiful......I truely cannot choose for the window of wonders .....

[@karibirch7444]

You could make the pudding doll into a Mermaid! If you wanted to! X

[@ТусовкисМедведьевичем]

Hello from Ukraine 🖐️😊 Video very, very good ❤😊👍 My Super Big Like for your my dear friend 😊👍

[@deborahbaughman1366]

The cup and the big grey and blue crockery are my picks for the window ♥️♥️♥️

[@Carolbearce]

I think the dove should go in the window of wonders. It’s beautiful!

[@ET-yp9vc]

Yes, I agree! Perhaps Gail and Alex make it some new legs?

[@mamagigissafehaven]

Jersey City, NJ, is where I am originally from. I smiled when you read Colgate. The Colgate clock still works today. Ahhh how awesome!

[@lauralake7430]

I remember that from when i lived in NJ

[@marisoljensen7083]

You are my favorite channel of all time. I love your adventures, the cinematography, the history lessons, your energy when you find something unexpectedly delightful. But most of all I love your relationship and how you share your love for mudlarking together. ♥ Thank you for taking us along.

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

Ohhh what a treat this was, the ginger jar will make a wonderful craft looking forward to seeing how you transform it. As always love the history behind the finds, thank you both 🧡

[@susangosling6122]

Hi lovely ladies, what a lovely mudlark, 😍 much love Sue Gosling ❤️

[@tuto108]

I always look so forward to your videos. Your cheerfulness and appreciation for your finds make the journey so much fun. I love the things you collect and make. You have such keen and artistic eyes, I know that whatever you bring home will either be transformed into something with great charm and beauty, or simply be so happy to be useful and admired again! Thank you for such uplifting content!

[@mollyswan-sheeran2670]

As ever, a very pleasing dig around. I am envisioning the basket pipe becoming a basket for the dolls. You always have such fun. Thank you for bringing us all along with you.

[@BelowthePlains]

love that tiny bottle at the beginning!!.. idk why but i just have a special place in my heart for absurdly small bottles

[@pennyhoward3438]

So many goodies!! The little cobalt for the window. Thank you Ladies for sharing👍💙🎬🎥

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello how are you doing?

[@marydegenkolb9603]

The Chinese Ginger Jar is a very beautiful addition to the window of wonder. Its subtle colors are soft and so typical of chinese home wares that were for local use, not trades.

[@johnwolff3562]

Well Alex, "lend me your ear/s"! To heck with Ceasar👍

[@kayesdigginit1519]

I don't care how old your videos are, I find every one of them intriguing. You find some of the absolute best items. Those beads 😍

[@grittykitty8005]

The tiny blue bottle is so pretty , it has to be my favorite find of that day .

[@jelleveld]

Mine, too!

[@superbellabeau]

So many amazing finds today! I really loved the milkmaid, the tea cup, the cute doll's head, so many beautiful bottles and pipes! I couldn't choose what should go on the shelf! ❤️😀

[@franceshurt3517]

I would put the beautiful teacup and the tiny blue bottle on display, I think it is amazing that you found a whole clay pipe despite its feet being missing, they bring the past into the present as do the damaged ones do, there must have been many folk who sat back of an evening in front of the fire and enjoyed a quiet puff after a hard day's toil, cheers from Oz !!🥰👍🦚🫖☕

[@kathieprater2431]

Love this adventure. Oh how I wish I could be there! I vote for the tiny blue bottle and the bright, blue eyed doll head for the window of wonders! Keep up the fabulous work, Gail and Alex, and thank you for including us!

[@jelleveld]

I agree with you. The tiny cobalt blue bottle is simply wonderful, as are the little doll head and the little bird!

[@nitabourne3042]

HI GAIL AND ALEX!! I LIKE THE JAPANESE JAR AND THE TEA CUP FOR THE WINDOW OF WONDERS. I LOVE THE PORCELAIN GIRL WITH PART OF A COW. LOVE ALL THE TINY BOTTLES SO CUTE AND SWEET. BEAUTIFUL COLOURS. THANKS FOR SHARING AND PLEASE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY THANKS ❤️ 🙏❤️🙏

[@kerryogorman7390]

I would think the little bird would love to sit in the window and watch the world outside...what a precious find!

[@kerrykuss642]

I like so many of your finds today. The one I'm most intrigued by is the little pudding (?) doll. Alex mentioned maybe making new legs for her, but I immediately thought of a mermaid tail. Oh, please! Make her a mermaid tail and put her in your window. Maybe you could even find a ceramic fish you could steal the tail from and just glue them together. Thank you Gail and Alex, you make me want to go out and dig in the dirt!

[@carolekinsey7835]

I love it when you find things you don't usually find whole. Its always so amazing that after so long at a tip site, they don't have chips or get broken. That bone china cup was in great condition. Plus that ginger jar too. I'd love to see that made into a lamp stand again. I was going to say put the perfect dolls head on the window ledge of wonders. Ha, but i really want to see a doll made from that. So keep that one aside and please, please make a doll from the spare parts you've collected. So this week i vote for the tiny blue bottle. Its such a fabulous coloured beauty. Ideal for the autmn sunshine to shinevthrough. Wow and what a collection of pipes and ink bottles you found. Amazing. Thanks for another lovely lark ladies and history lesson too. Always very interesting. I so enjoy our shared larks with you both. Thanks. X

[@lindaleehulsey3167]

I used COLGATE TOOTHPASTE when I was much younger! Thank You for the memory of this, HISTORY.

[@sisD]

What a ✨super ✨ day! The ginger jar and the tea cup should go in the window. What amazing finds! Just loved the excitement and treasures you found! Thank you for taking me along. 🌹

[@izabelabhering7041]

Your videos are always heartwarming! I love the ginger jar, I think it became a lamp at some point. I would love to see it become a lamp again!💐🌟💐

[@Katseye102]

In the window….your beautiful cup, and tiny blue bottle….great finds girls, take care…❤️❤️❤️

[@iamshotty]

Absolutely GORGEOUS finds as always, I can't pick just one, they all qualify for the window. I do so love your larks! Thank you so much my lovelies xx Teresa 🇦🇺❤

[@joanneturnbull5640]

Wonderful day😃 with so many lovelies ! I would choose the tea cup for the marvellous window of wonders 💕Elegance survives🦆

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

Love that big ginger pot, I hope you do make something with it, but the tiny blue ink and tiniest panel bottle are the best bottles! I think you need to set that pudding doll into silver and make it into a mermaid tail...

[@colleenmccarthy-evans3149]

What a glorious lark! Thanks so much for bringing us along! I think the wee blue bottle is my vote for the window of wonders this week, so her resplendent beauty and come out with the sunshine. Glorious!

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello how are you doing?

[@christhompson4270]

What an amazing day of finds, loved the history on the things you found. Maybe the ginger pot for the window if not one of the tiny bottles. Take care and thank you for sharing your treasures 👍👏❤️

[@mimimitch327]

Yaaaay! My girls are on! That ginger jar was much larger than I thought. What great finds. I’m a caretaker for my husband who has Alzheimers. You girls bring me so much joy! Thank you for sharing your adventures!!!

[@frankiecowsert9364]

The wee little bird sitting on the wee little blue bottle needs to go in the window. Gail love your hair. I wish we had dumps we could hunt here. Yall are amazing.

[@janicehayes5059]

Perfect day ladies!! Wonderful finds!! Thank you for all if the history you shared ❤❤ cheers be safe keep creating 🇨🇦☀️👍❤️

[@DarrellBeckford]

Not sure how I found your channel, it is nothing like most of the ones I watch, but following your adventures has become addictive. Thanks for the entertainment, history and some simple fun in these trying times.

[@StarSystemAndromeda]

Greatly appreciate you lovely ladies and your wonderful channel! Perfect way to end a long work-week! Cheers!

[@janinedevilliers510]

Oooo what splendid treasures. I can't choose one item for the window of wonders. I love the ginger jar, the little blue bottle, the tall honey coloured gin bottle, the teacup and the bird. It's a dilemma 🐦🍶🍯😁 I loved all the items and your great joy whenever you find something. I was thinking maybe you could make beautiful stands for the pipe bowls and use them as candle holders, or create a pipe bowl chandelier with strings of beads, old spoons, bottle stoppers and crystal pieces. Something beautiful. I enjoy the history of the items and the display at the end with everything beautifully clean and laid out. Just love watching your videos, it brings so much happiness to me and so many others. Thank you. Love from Germany 💜💐💖

[@peggycomer1]

Hi. From USA West Virginia. Gail you look so healthy and happy. Your daughter always looks beautiful.

[@cjgia4898]

Wow! Wonderfilled finds! As always, you're both so entertaining to watch. You're excitement is absolutely contagious! Thank you for taking us along.

[@lindacarlton2467]

So many wonderful treasures but I think the tea cup as it's an absolute miracle that it survived even the gilding on it is still virtually perfect my other favourite is the dolls head with its piercing blue eyes.

[@sionaharrop4486]

Loved your video today, excellent finds. ❤🇦🇺 xxx

[@Thatsinteresting363]

I gasped when I saw the ginger jar! It’s SO beautiful and I love it with the hole and crack! For me, that would be on my list of top finds!

[@Rose-jz6ix]

I like the teacup for surviving in one piece,yet my favourite find was the beautiful lady head & trunk. Once cleaned she stood out as a fine piece made well by a craftsman or crafts woman.

[@tracieoliver2307]

Stunning finds and wow the little bottles were lovely! I loved the clay pipe with little dog on it! thanks for sharing a cracking watch!

[@YamIa3gypsy]

I thought the Chinese ginger jar had the hole on purpose, an air hole. The best way to store ginger is in sand in a jar such as this. No hard lid, guessing that it might have had a beeswax cloth to cover it? Too cool!

[@araceliferreira6808]

Wow ladies! Beautiful finds! I love the light green bottle and the tiny blue one, the tea cup, the ginger jar, I guess almost everything you found. 😀 Have a great day!

[@janeenclark8728]

I’d say my favorite is the Two of You. Always fun to go along with you. Love the little bottles too. Stay Well❤

[@catherinewilliams3850]

What a wonderful place to look for treasures, I love the tiny bottles especially the blue one.

[@deverereyes8619]

I think that the ginger jar is my pick to go in the window. I really like your videos. Seeing the wonderful mother daughter relationship is heartening.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great haul Ladies, I would like to see the wee blue marking ink and/or the bone china tea cup. Thanks so much, have an awesome week.

[@skipragsdale3565]

WoW! Nice finds. The teacup and tiny coloured bottles would be quite nice on a window ledge. We got a chuckle seeing Alex at the end with a bit of dirt on her face, she certainly loves her work! LoL!!

[@tarrasams7423]

Hello 👋 from New York USA you Guy's found Some Amazing Finds my Favorite Definitely Was the Little Porcelain Doll Head and the Little tiny Bottles Thank you for Bringing me Along with you Guy's I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊

[@richardserridge2767]

I live the teacup. There is something so delicate and perfectly formed about old teacups. That case gin is a lovely colour. Plenty of great finds there, I'd love to dig at a site like that! Another great video ladies!

[@tarirouen5592]

I think your teacup is amazing. All in one piece. Wow!!! That would be wonderful in the window with some silk greenery or flowers.

[@Claycat4]

I love the little blue cobalt bottle!

[@noraleestone2859]

That was a wonderful tip ratch! 🥰😁 I love the milkmaid with her headless cow. 😂😝 So many superb finds this trip. You'll have to go back there very soon, with big bags! 🤣It was a difficult choice, but I'm going to pick the white bird cake topper for the window of wonders. 😁😁 I'll see you both next time. Warmest regards from Ontario, Canada. 😍😊🤗👍

[@susanmorseart4984]

What a fabulous day ladies. You should put the tea cup in the window. It's amazing it's so perfect. I sure do love you taking us with you on your adventures. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@kristidavis9945]

The ginger jar is an awesome find I know the window it’s that big to hold a years worth but my first is the ginger jar then the small panel bottle and then the small blue bottle.

Thank you for the fun video. I vote for the tiny blue bottle and the complete doll's head with shoulders in tact. I also loved the Colgate bottle. I remember my grandmother having one of those bottles with Cashmere Bouquet in it. 😊

[@jeanettewolfenbarger1256]

The little blue bottle should be my pick for your window. It is so precious, such a small bottle, but oh so beautiful.

[@donnabrewer4971]

I'd like to see either the beautiful teacup or the ginger jar go into the window of wonders! Another enjoyable 'lark!!!

[@rockreader4298]

Good Day to you, Gail and Alex! What a way to start your treasure hunt. Wow! Sweet, sweet finds. You could place the bottom half of the pudding doll in a cup of pudding, made of painted (Milliput?) or perhaps a bubble bath in a basin. The bone shaving brush could be placed w/bristle-side up, w/weighted base, and made into a mini vase, by sticking oxidized copper wire or nails, into the boar bristles, as stems. Beach glass, half-beads and or garnets would be perfect flower parts & petals. Right? Your talent of designing things makes them uniquely your own and always a Delight. So many pipes for possible shrooms and a fine mini-bottle collection. Reinforce the crack and hole with glue (on the inside) of your Stunning ginger jar, then it's good for a lamp, plant or simply display. So Happy you saved the large Gin bottle from Holland. (In the window, please?) ( :

[@myrabell4738]

What a wonderful time you all had! I have never seen you all find a cod bottle before, though. And I couldn't believe you left that slightly ? damaged one behind! Do you have a collection of them? I'd love to see them! And how do they actually work with the marble inside! I love your videos and I look forward to each one and I imagine how much fun I would have if I were there with you. I've never been to your country so I love the scenery also. I'm a beach comber from Florida so I love to explore what I can find on our beaches but the items you all find , the old bottles and pipe bowls and frozen Charlottes are amazing!! Keep up the wonderful videos and history bits!

What an amazing array of finds ladies, the tea cup is so amazing to find undamaged. Nice to see your safe and healthy. Cannot wait to see how you use the objects you found in art projects. It is a shame that old taverns like the one on the pipe are gone. Can you imagine if that pipe could talk. Be well ladies!!!

[@XPALYDO]

Beautiful finds! I love the sky blue flask size bottle with the overhanging lip for the window, such an unusual color of blue!
