[@krazedvintagemodel]

The cap badge gets my vote. The history of your family is priceless, and you are blessed to have their old photos. Peace and Blessings. . .

[@dawsie]

Same here, love the cap badge, I still have my families cap badge along with all of the medals from the Bore-war and WWI.

[@andreworr4307]

I aagree,military badge with a family connection ? It doesn't get better than that ! Great find,I'll give a special mention to the seriously creepy dolls head for staying in one piece all those years,lol

[@marydegenkolb9603]

My husband served 20 years in the Army Infantry. He was in Berlin, on the Iron Curtain twice, and served in Desert Storm on Highway 8 to Bashara. We military families are so very lucky to have such brave and honored men to call kin. I would like to vote for the blue eyed dolls head. Such blue eyes.

[@japhyryder66]

As always, you ladies teach me and entertain me. What an absolutely brilliant lark! I vote for the cap badge.

[@repeat_defender]

If your 93 year-old grandma is still able, it would be amazing to hear some of her stories. Perhaps you could bring her some items from the past that you've found and ask her to talk about them? I just love hearing history from the people who were there. Just a thought! Love you guys.

[@sallydattoli2143]

What a wonderful description of the bottles of leg makeup and nail polish on the strong women working during WWII. Thank you as always Gail and Alex.

[@rosiedawayiroll2535]

I love hanging out with you both ....been Wacthing you for a few years now... I love the bond you have together it is wonderful many blessings hello from OREGON 🇺🇸

[@toniajackson102]

In turn, a heartfelt thank you to both of you. Your discoveries are adventures that fill my heart. Thank you!

[@catepearce2138]

Hi, what a lovely 'off the cuff' visit to the high tide mark. lovely surprising pieces of history . I was such a pleasure to be in your company as you had fun larking around. I was thinking the LEG looked like it might have belonged to an articulated bear??? Have a great week and stay safe.

[@nancycowan6109]

Gosh, that was a lot of fun! So many treasures. I LOVED that porcelain shard with the little clerical type person on it. ❤️

[@karenabendshien846]

What a great lark! Thank you once again for taking all of us along. I vote for the cap badge for all the great history and the connection to your family. The sweet blue eyed dolls head is my second vote. 😉

[@gnarbeljo8980]

I second that! Wonderful story! ❤️

[@richardserridge2767]

So many goodies this week! I really love those old glass reflectors and the Chandelier drop is amazing. I too like those little bottles with their bakelite lids on top! That amber jar is crying out to be lit! On springwatch they mentioned another fish species with dentacles in their mouth as well... That border reg badge is amazing!!

[@Kittygh]

Another great haul and beautifully displayed on your table as always. Thanks for allowing me to join you on your lark at high tide. See you next time!

[@dannytorrance9555]

You two have a particularly unique mudlarking skill, of holding several objects, while dexterously picking up another with the same hand. Well done! I've Enjoyed this high tide adventure!

[@lindameeks5228]

The cap badge and the history behind it was very interesting. The finds on this one at high tide were exceptional.

[@superbellabeau]

Just shows it doesn't need to be low tide to find amazing treasures! The badge is fantastic especially since it has links with your family. 😊❤️

[@umich79]

Window of Wonders: cap badge. What a wonderful family history! Thank you for sharing these stories. 💕 from Michigan, USA

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thanks for watching! xx

[@donnabrewer4971]

The cap badge, with all its history, has definitely earned a place in the window! Another wonderful day mudlarking!

[@carolekinsey7835]

There's surely no competition this week for the shelf item. In honour of all those that gave so much, let it be the be cap badge. I love the fact you know your family history and are able to pass it on to those that follow in their footsteps generations later. With photos too. The other items you found at high tide, were wonderful and some deserving of queing for the shelf, but theres only room for so many. That dolls face was fab, with its pure blue eyes. Poor little thing needs some new pupils and she will be perfect....some hair too, don't forget. I hope to see you put her together again one day. It always amazes me the beads you find. Teeny tiny jeweled pops of colour, which look lovely all strung together. Some are so unusual and you probably would not be able to tell just how old some of them really are. Its also a shock to see glass items survive so well. The crystal chandelier droplet....how did that survive in such good condition. A very enjoyable lark as always ladies. Thanks.

[@ToniannDonnelly]

Wow how wonderful!! The cap badge gets my vote,I got emotional with your beautiful historic family story,thankyou for sharing 💕💕

[@anitaturner2999]

This has been a wondrous lark! You found so many treasures but hands down the pick for the window is the Regimental badge. I can hardly believe how well it has survived. Thank you for sharing this high tide lark. Stay safe out there!

[@franceshurt3517]

Well girls, some great finds very enjoyable vid love the showcase at the end but I'm especially taken with that exquisite pea hen, good to see her from the outside rather than through the window, take care and happy mud larking in the future, cheers from Oz !!!🥰👍🍀🍯🦢

[@eavesdroppin1]

Wow....high tide was amazing! So many treasures. Between the doll's head and the badge I cannot choose a favorite.

[@Lunablueeyes]

The cap badge is so special!! Almost an instant family heirloom. I think that should be in the Window of wonders!!

[@garywilliams1759]

Loved this video ladies 😊. The cap badge is our favourite; we loved the family connection ❤️. Please keep posting - you are going from strength-to-strength. P.S. nice cap Alex 🧢 😀

[@raydunhill5160]

Cap bagels for window!! Very Important family find!! Congrats Ladies and always enjoy your hunts !!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@amazinggrace4036]

Hello ladies! So grand to see you again…hope all is well. And what amazing finds! So glad you were careful not to fall in the water Alex! Love how you rescued the bead! The jar is adorable! And for the window the dolls head with blue eyes is my vote! Beautiful finds! Enjoy! Stay safe and thank you again for your devotion to share your finds! Greetings! 🌹🎈😉

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! xx

[@amazinggrace4036]

Your war history is amazing … you are special ladies!

[@lisamarie6611]

Turning is not falling when you see good.

[@johnnabuzby6103]

@@NorthernMudlarks You've taken us all on yet another grand adventure today ladies. Loved all the finds. Did you ever discover whether or not the one bead was uranium glass? My vote (s) for the windowsill of wonders are the border regiment cap badge [btw, is it silver?], the unusual clay pipe with the figures, and the Miner's paint on stockings. Greetings to you from me here in North Carolina, USA! Take care and lark on!

[@amandapittar9398]

Thank you for such a fascinating video. I think there must be a Mudlarking Demi God who smiles upon you, as you always seem to find such gorgeous little treasures. The “Miners” makeup I’m sure I remember from my teenage years - the 1970s. I’ve been reading up on mudlarking, both historical and contemporary, it’s such an interesting subject. I think if it makes you delve into history and especially your own family history, it’s an invaluable pastime- even occupation. You give me a tiny dose of home each time I watch, thank you. I still get so envious of your finds… I may need to add an extra week or two onto a Scottish home visit in 2023 so that I can devote it to treasure hunting - my family will just have to find something else to do….👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@debraday5682]

Wow! Each find was wonderful, and the high tide was a reminder to open our eyes and minds to new places and things.💝

[@tracyriordan7011]

[@marthaholzhauer6663]

What fun you two had today! Thank you for taking us along. Todays vote is a bit difficult between the cap badge and the lovely blue eyed dolls head. But with the family connection I have to vote for the badge.

[@dawsie]

Some times you just have to go and have fun glad you stopped at high tide, so many of your finds you would never of found as your there mostly at low tide. Some cracking finds that’s for sure.🤗🤗🤗

[@Shemayahu222]

Wow,, very interesting about your families past..that piece will be treasured for sure..scrubbed up nicely..i love stories of past places and people😀👍🏿

[@ilonamollema6467]

The cap badge definitely deserves a place in the window of wonders. Loved your story about this badge. What a beautiful tale of family history. ❤️

[@aiyacopby5781]

They need a TV show. I love watching the wonderful treasures you find

[@susansmith1740]

The cap badge is the top find and should go in the window, what a neat connection to your family’s history!

[@junkinhertrunk-dianak]

What a great lark! I always feel like I’m there with you! I vote for the cap badge 😊

[@iamshotty]

Beautiful finds. I especially love the dolls head and the liquid stockings. Such wonderful history. Thank you my lovelies xx Teresa 🇦🇺😍

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! xx

[@lindagomez3114]

I have been Spring cleaning like crazy and missed you a bit ago. All.done tired now. I've been waiting all day!! Love you Gail and Alex!!

[@colleenmccarthy-evans3149]

I'm new to your channel, but have been doing my best to catch up over the past few weeks...so inspiring on so many levels! I woke up in the wee hours of the morning with 3 ideas for the magnificent 'stopple boppers' (not sure I spelled that right) 😁no doubt you have thought of these ideas or other fans/followers/friends have suggested them...hope it's okay to share! Shear off the points and drill two small holes, top and bottom, and (1) string them with thick monofilament line, then attach them to one of your large glass jar lids for wind chimes! or (2) string them into indoor beaded curtains! Either could include some of your wonderful colored glass shards or the lovely shards of china/pottery, and finally (3) use clear epoxy to glue them into windows or glass doors, for privacy glass or just for the beauty. Thank you for being so inspiring....now for a nap. 😂

[@kobecakes2660]

Window of wonders I vote for the dolls head with the blue eyes. Loved learning the history of Queen Victoria and blue eyed dolls.

[@annabyer2808]

Thank you for taking me along via the world wide web! So much fun to see all of the high tide treasures! Stay safe and well gals!

[@skeltonjuanita6515]

The last round up was gorgeous! The whole find! I think the whole theme of the find was momentous because of the personal connection for you. Thank you so much for a gorgeous video.

[@anitaassad4499]

The border badge is an amazing find. Real old south African history. Great find

[@lynettepacella9880]

I vote for the red reflector and the The cut crystal lamp pendant for the window! Wonderful lark thank you ladies! 💕💕WV🇺🇸

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

You two had a marvelous day, even at high tide! I love all the tiny treasures you've found! The reflector is gorgeous!💖

[@kristidavis9945]

I love all of the fabulous finds in this weeks video. All of the glorious red glass items, the show stopping military cap badge along with footballers pipe and numerous amount of stoppers and beads. I have to admit I miss the way you used to go through your finds I find myself now pausing the video to get a better look at everything. I know that the video would be hours long and lots of editing to record ever single find so at the end I like to see the whole lot together and see it all glistening in the 🌞. But I will take it anyway I can because I absolutely love watching y’all and all of y’all’s adventures and what you find while your on them. Have a blessed week see you on the next one.

[@khall999]

Hi friends…. Always enjoy your adventures mudlarking! Such authentic beautiful ladies. Thank you for adding joy to my days sweet friends💐

Great video! The badge wins this week! What a fantastic find at high tide! 💫

[@tonywild1963]

Amazing the history of finding items like the cap badge, could bring such memories of your family. You had some other good finds and in lots of colours. Maybe the nail varnish bottle could go in the window. Thank you for sharing and have a good week

[@jnordfors]

The cap badge is such a touching tribute to your family!

[@kathleenlynch5763]

Another great lark you found some great things.i think the cap badge should go into the window especialy with the connection your family have with it.those old photographs are lovley and how you have found out about them .Gail i think you have a resemblance to them your eye's are very similar.take care and thank you.

[@ethyn1762]

Oh my! That cap badge is priceless!! Absolutely gorgeous! 💞🏅💞

[@briantyler689]

Absolutely absorbing video ladies. and how wonderful to find a piece of History which you can relate to. So my choice for the window is definitely The Borders Cap Badge.

[@tazziegee8479]

I am growing so addicted with your channel. Living on an island Tasmania, I live on a river and close to the seaside. I often go to the nearest 'beach' on the tidal river I live on and pick up sea/river glass and small pieces of pottery and ceramics. I love seeing your finds and the beautiful things you make. Thankyou for sharing your love.

[@ShirleyWhite-rc6je]

Alot of wonderful finds and the captain badge. Thank you for sharing your video with us all 💟. Your friend Shirley from new Bern, north Carolina USA take care. Love your crafts.❤🎉🎉😍 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮🎉🎉🎉😅😊

[@sherriesmith2587]

I can't believe there is even a question! The cap badge is a "find of the year" in my book!! Absolutely awesome! And the fact that you have a picture of one of your ancestors WEARING that same badge on his uniform cap.....well, that is just beyond anything imaginable!! Super cool!

[@kathieprater2431]

I love your videos. They're relaxing and exciting at the same time! I think the cap badge, and the blue eyed doll head should go in the window of wonders because they are both unique!

[@denisew3917]

Fantastic finds. The cap badge is the winner this week.

[@AvalonDreamz]

I love that you shared with us some of your family history with the find of the cap badge. So sad that it wound up there in the dirt. But I'm happy at least it has found a new home

[@sarahbrewer8945]

The cap badge has to go in the window, how amazing you have a family connection. I also love the tiny head with the blue eyes.

[@susangosling6122]

Hi lovely ladies, another great video, I also think the badge gets my vote. Much love Sue Gosling ❤️

[@dinahjackson8146]

HANDS DOWN ! Must be CAP BADGE... SOOO many interesting finds... I love them and you ! ❤

[@terricollins8450]

The Cap badge has definitely got to go in the window of wonders,thanks for another lovely video 💗

[@tomcastonguay2847]

Once more than you so much. Spending a bit of time with two lovely ladies is such a pleasure. The cap bage gets my vote for the window. Peace love & mud. TomCat

[@elainegill2619]

WOW,So many amazing treasures.I love the small piece of pottery with the figure on it,the clay pipe with the figures playing football,but the Borders cap badge has to be the Top one for me with the family History.❤

[@rockreader4298]

Hi there, Ladies. Your porcelain doorknobs were imitating a couple of very Cool mushrooms with morning dew upon their caps, don't yah think? ( : Looks like the guy on the clay football pipe is wearing a pack of sorts, on his back, which is attached to a harness? Prisoners? The reflectors always draw my attention, especially a red one. Some really super finds. Good thinking, Gail. Now you know that whatever the tide may be, that it shouldn't be a great concern (except for certain areas of high-tide danger, such as on The Thames). As you mentioned, being there when you were, forced you to look in areas you wouldn't ordinarily have looked, thus finding a new layer to the Mama Earth's treasure chest, so to speak. There is a channel holder that makes sculptors from metal bits. I saw a rooster he made, using wrenches, nails, twisted, curly bits for the top notch and tail feathers. That got me thinking, if you took that melted, brown glass with the stopper in it, all you need do is add a top notch, tail feathers and a beak to give a peck of approval, made of any of your finds and I'd say you'd have yourself a very charming miniature Shwoo, adorning any area it lands upon. Please send some good healing thoughts out for the very talented sculptor that won't be making them anymore , as he is dealing with a serious health issue.

[@susancousins8766]

Cat badge should be in the window!! Beautiful finds love you both 😘😘Always a fantastic fun hunt.

[@kimberlymolitor354]

I like the cap badge for the window of wonders. Really enjoyed the history connection with your family🥰

Love 💕 the badge and family history!!!! Fantastic ❤

[@colleenmccarthy-evans3149]

Thank you for another wonderful video! I loved the nail polish and 'stocking' makeup bottles, but I must vote for the Border Badge to go in the Window of Wonders...such wonderful meaningful family connection to it for you. ❤😊🙏🏼 so amazing that you have a photo of one of your ancestors actually wearing it! 👏👏👏

[@justkeepfishingt]

So cool if only I had a family member that would go out with me and do this.

[@lynntoonen4179]

I absolutely loved this video. So many treasures.

[@amandabell8827]

Great video Ladies! I well remember the 'Miners' brand of cosmetics, they were on a par with Rimmel back in the 60s and 70s and sold in Woolworths. The cap badge is a fantastic find and I love that it relates to your own family, I would definitely put it in the window! 😀💗 x

[@wha64]

Hoo-Ray for high tide! Great finds ladies. Thanks for the wonderful history on the hat badge and your family ties. It should be framed with the family history. The Crystal would look dazzling hanging in the window.

[@dannmccord1923]

You guys found so many awesome finds. They are really great. Just love them all. The badge was really cool. Can't wait till your next one keep mud larking. Love your videos

[@sherryfranke6442]

The amazing mosaics you could make with all the beautiful pieces of tile I just can't even begin to imagine the beautiful art that could come from that. I think I would have to build frames and decorate them even with half tea cups and such and pieces of tile and have a mirror inside

[@Parsley96]

It’s my fav day of the week!!! The day that my fav larkers post a new video!! Love you guys so much! Take care and God bless!!

[@kathymoreaux9467]

[@charlesperez9976]

Oh! I absolutely love the arrangement of your finds,at the end of the video!!! It kind of reminds me,somehow,of those early schoolgirl needlework samplers. The composition is frame worthy 😍

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Oh thank you! xx

[@deirdrepasko9965]

It is simply fantastic that you found a badge (I forget its proper name) that has links to your ancestors! I would be over the moon with Joy if that happened to me! See? You were meant to go there even though it was high tide, your gut feelings were true! I am so Happy for you!

[@stargazer8339]

Yes, the cap badge. It holds personal history. Every time you look at it in the window, you'll remember family.
