I hope you don't mind, but I have just made the two of you saying "hello" into my phone's ringtone........it's brilliant!!.

[@Merylstreep1949]

Oh that's so cool!

[@kayesdigginit1519]

Brilliant

[@theresac.3216]

Still my favorite Mudlarking duo! Thanks for another wonderful video! ❤️

[@izabelabhering7041]

For its bright colors that little bird deserves to go on the window of wonders 🥰 but it really was a bead day. I can’t get enough of the amount of beautiful beads you and other mudlarkers find!💐

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

Likewise ❤️

[@donnalieblick8478]

I agree! The little bird is the winner for the window!

[@kimberlypetrossi6607]

A few of your finds may be “Bake-a-lite” not glass.

[@ironhell808]

I think the brass handle is a actually a spreader for the pearl handle you've got.

[@CTfarney]

Do you think that diamond shaped bead is made from Jade, perhaps?

[@HelpMeRhonda62]

What a great day, of course any day outside finding treasure is a great day.

[@jayneharrison5672]

My vote for the window of wonders is the beautiful little bird 🐦

[@tinakercher8768]

I love the bird! What a great find for Darcy!

[@tanithmessenger3581]

You can never have too many beads!! What fab finds as always ladies. x

[@lindagomez3114]

Ahhh my relaxing time finding such wonderful exciting finds!!!

[@vikkiknopik6162]

Could the decorative silver strip be from a comb, one you'd find as part of of a dressing table or travel set? Great finds overall, love them all xxx

[@alisonlyons4691]

Yes l thought that 👍

[@joacatmcd]

I agree, it's the trim from a comb

[@ludmilabevan3283]

My thought also.

[@karenwheeler2610]

I have one very similar on a tortoise shell comb sitting on my dresser. It is sterling silver!

[@ludmilabevan3283]

@@karenwheeler2610 What a coincidence, so do I. It is a part of a set. A mirror, hair brush, large tortoise shell hair comb on a tray with embroidery between the glass. Mine is not silver though. I'd say it is more 1950-s. I have an Art Deco silver set but the comb included is very small and it does not have a silver trim rather silver casing for the comb. Not quite the same.

[@Parsley96]

I love Gayle’s wit!! Praying for a new face!!haha This has been one splendid video ladies! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! ❤❤

When you pulled out the little leg, Gail, I said “it’s a leg!” in the same pitch and meter as you said it. Love little arms and legs. And that little faceless doll! The beautiful Cardinal is a treasure! Your channel just brings me delight!

[@klowe7213]

The little bird and the sweet girl with the clasped hands are my faves - but what lovely finds overall!

[@monadelgado5741]

Love your videos. My one and only, bucket list item, would be to Mudlark with you ladies.

[@LadyArseling]

I get excited about the beads too! Always fun. Tfs

[@HughLindsay66]

Loved the little berry bead in the river! What a great find in amongst the all the other little Berries, great eyes well recovered.

[@dianecavallaro5227]

What another great video! I so enjoy when you get so close with the camera I feel as though I’m there with you. What a beautiful variety of gorgeous beads and you said it best they have been used for centuries for so many purposes. The bird was very special also. Thank you for being a Mudlarker. I look forward to every video. Keep up your good work. Lots of love from Diane in upstate New York ❤

[@sapphonymph8204]

Great haul! And Darci was cute as all get out.

Wow how the silver shines after all these years. Just Amazing 😻!

[@iamshotty]

WOW. What absolutely beautiful finds. Thank you my lovelies xx Teresa 🇦🇺❤

[@jomcmahon8115]

Greetings ladies from me, a retired Kiwi living in Queensland, Australia. What treasures you found! If I could beam up I would land beside you! I will check out your vlogs where you magically give new life to your finds. Thank you for sharing your fabulous pastime! Jo

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thanks for joining us! xx

[@roxiepoe9586]

You are right about the heat tester for a kiln. The spikes are designed to 'slump' at certain temperatures and so a set like that will be used to be sure that your kiln is reaching optimum temperature. When running such a test in a larger kiln one places a 'set' in multiple places to see if the heat is consistant.

[@jenniferhalstead3815]

Oh I forgot the little dark green bottle where she found the brass and mother of pearl button. I absolutely love ya'lls videos, I never miss a one of them even the shorts. Love you guy's and I can't wait to save enough money to visit Scotland.

[@denisew3917]

Watching your videos is like opening a treasure chest each week 👏👏

[@FLSueL]

What a great day! My favorite find is the little bird, it's so cute. I also really like that mouthwash bottle and the decorative piece of silver that looks like a book binder. Thanks again for taking us with you, I had a wonderful time. 😊

[@whatifitnt]

Did anyone guess yet that your ‘silvery’ wings could be a scarf buckle? Love watching you both 💝Thank you for sharing with us 🤩☺️

[@denisemurray412]

At 4:59 the piece with the three triangular spikes is a potter's gauge for measuring the heat in a kiln. The blob of clay with the spikes is put into the kiln. Each spike will sag at a different temperature. The potter can see when to turn off the heat inside for the right doneness of his greenware, bisqueware and glazings.

[@tterbay]

You called it, Alex.

[@gwenmargarettowne4687]

This looks like SO MUCH FUN! I enjoy finding stone tools from the Native Americans near my home. 😊

[@sisD]

A silver bead day! So many other great treasures. Thank you for sharing. 🦋

[@rachelpriddis1896]

I love all the little things you find. I wish we had places to dig like that where I live.

[@linnetoconnell457]

Wow! Such a luscious array of finds this week! So many beauties...much like the two of you :)

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

Really nice treasures! Love all the beads, especially the green basket weave diamond shape, and the white heart bead. That tiny bird Gail found is fantastic, and the bubbly red glass tear would be perfect for a christmas ornament...

[@mollyswan-sheeran2670]

Oh! What a marvelous mudlark!!!!! Thank you for bring us, your devoted fans, with you!

[@kerrykuss642]

Fantastic treasures today! I can't believe the number of unusual finds. Please put the bird in the window though, then she can look out at her friends. I can't list my favorites, they are too many. I hated to have the video end today. Thanks for sharing, Gail and Alex. You made my day a happy one.

[@adriennenewell5655]

I feel all those beautiful pottery shards would make a lovely mosaic piece

[@bethmcgowan1370]

This was truly a bead lover's dream come true. So much eye candy! Thank you for sharing your beaditful day.

[@deathtrance217]

Incredible lark! That little bird is the best find of all. Thanks for all the fun.

[@colleenmccarthy-evans3149]

Wow! So many unique treasures this week. So delighted for you and all of us. ❤😊

[@ResinBelle]

So many amazing and beautiful finds! Love all the colors and variety. That digger cup was too neat. I've seen people use broken half cups like that glued to a saucer and hung on a wall for planters or pencil organizers.

[@historylooker7]

Awesome finds 👍 !! The treasures are everywhere !!

[@deidrecruickshank7975]

Wow ladies! Surely that was a record haul of beads! So many in so many colors, sizes and shapes! Love them 💕

[@fairyacorn4854]

The little cannon is beautiful and so many beads and lovely other little treasures. That place is being good to you lately.

[@bevharrison8157]

What a wonderful lark, so many fab finds. How do you clean your glass treasures they are always so sparkly clean as if new .thank you ladies a joy to watch.

[@lotusdolphin]

I’m a first timer here and subscribeD. I’m also a beader and the amount of beans made me absolutely drool. The amount of history that you had in your hands with all the wonderful things you’ve got were incredible. It looks like you’re in a different area than my friends at Scottish mudlarking, Nicole and Craig

[@janinedevilliers510]

I just love watching your channel, you are both so special. This is my happy place. I forget about my worries and get fully absorbed into virtual mudlarking with you. I jump for joy in my heart when you find such amazing treasures. I'm so happy when all the beautiful items are rescued, and brought back to life. They really made things so well back in the day. Everything in this haul was amazing. 😍 I had an idea for all the toy soldiers who have lost life and limb. I was picturing a collage for the wall. A 3d collage on a piece of drift wood. A wall sculpture to commemorate all the soldiers that went to war. You are so talented. You could make a mould for a pudding doll head from a whole one. Then add it to one that is missing a head. So much art can be made with everything. Well done. Yay. 😁🎨💐

[@juliespade1573]

So precious that bird, great find for the window. Great video ladies.

[@michelleibbitson1205]

What a fantastic day you had! I love the beads and the little 🐦 xx

[@oceanbreathessalty9486]

Wonderful mixed treasures! Hard to pick a fave but the beads were awesome and the Bird! 🥰

[@gnarbeljo8980]

The decorative strip of folded silver is definately from an embroidered purse, possibly beaded and fringed. I have a small collectiom of antique purses and the recessed bit all along onse side would have held the fabric in place. One I have is very much like this, only there ais one for each side and one has a clasp that folds over both metal tops to hold them together. Beautiful detailing on this one! I imagine you could make the most precious party purse using that, the bit of chain, the assortment of beads, and the pretty winged buckle with some creative effort and a remnant of silk or fine wool, some embroidery floss and a bit of metal smithing tweaks! The bird looks like a red crested finch or cardinal, I don't know birds well but it looks like a bird you'd see in the US. But I know what it is. It's a Northern Mudlark! ❤️I'd wear that as a pendant on a long chain any day! That tiny flat perfume bottle too! The size reminded me of tiny chinese painted snuff bottles. I imagine a little poem or personal message on a scroll stuck in with a tiny gemstone, a tiny cork or beaded stopper with a silk or leather string attached to the neck would make an amazing personal gift! The winged buckle was one of my favorites. If you cast a bunch of those they could be equally pretty with a bezel in the center, or make great wings for little dolls faces or fairies out of frozen Charlottes as decorations or quirky jewelry. As a fan of surrealism I'd love a winged dolls ear or eye and brow! A silver one simply set on a satin or velvet choker ribbon would make a stunning Christmas present! As a former potter I have to say Alex, the melted cone on the old kiln brick was very keenly spotted! Isn't it fantastic how knowledgeable you've both become from mudlarking and researching finds?! Thank you for sharing it all with us! I miss the UK! ❤️

[@susancousins8766]

This was amazing seeing you find all of those beautiful treasures. My favorite is the bird but, there are so much more to your wonderful videos. Memories you both share together, I love that about you both. I love your Mudlarks, but you will never find the best treasure in the mud. That is you two special ladies 💗💗💗💗💗⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Appellonia]

My favorite thing is to wonder who might have been holding those little treasures before you were. Such a great mystery.

[@benroosa2328]

Such a diverse array of artifacts I wonder what story's they could tell!

[@carolekinsey7835]

This area you lark in is so fabulous for producing such wonderfully interesting objects. I think its one of my favourite places for you to go Larking. That little bird was such a sweet find. I loved that. The long filigree sliver thing, looked very much like a piece they used to put on the back of a comb. Which made up a set of dressing table fancies for a lady, or gent. Matching brush for hair, a mirror and maybe a clothes brush to finish the set. Just a thought. I love these adventures you take us all on. You never know just what you'll find. Plus i love to see what you make with those items too. Giving them a new life. Making them beautiful and useful, or just as special things to just look at and wonder at. Very enjoyable. Thanks for taking us along. Xx

Wonderful finds today! The little bird takes the cake. I love the way you had it perched on the little limb.

Hi, what a bonanza, so much treasure - could the art deco wing design be part of a hat badge? Loved sharing the joy of the discovery. Have a great week and take care.

[@Kittygh]

I adore beads, so for me, this is one of the best larks of the year. And I especially enjoy the little bird. I agree that it should go in the window of wonders. Meanwhile, I am looking forward to your next hunt. Take care!

[@ashlingofAsh7580]

That's the best finds I feel!! Just WOW! And silver coin! I'd be all about the coins as I love to collect if I ever come across any. The cannon reminds me of my two brothers little toys they had. Love just everything!
