Mudlarking! Surprising COLLECTABLE Finds to start 2023! (Treasure Hunting)

[@pincushiondoll]

love the bird fragment

[@f.k.burnham8491]

Gail & Alex- When you are mud larking, carry a small gold pan with you. If you find a piece of jewelry pan the dirt in the immediate area down 2-3" and you may find the stones from the piece.

[@rockreader4298]

Excellent advice, F.K. Burnham. ( : By panning, they could also capture other heavies such as gold, silver, etc. Where there's one heavy, there's more.

[@morningdewgarden7432]

Exceptional idea!!!

[@donnasummers6534]

I want to go visit just to dig in the dirt. Id be in heaven if i could.

[@Objective-Observer]

The slag glass would be beautiful in the window. I'm so glad you brought it home.

[@ManchesterMudlarks]

Great video guys very dark finish very nice finds

[@mickaelwilliams6129]

just a thought. shall we all just enjoy life in 2023, because life is a wonderfull thing.

[@deathtrance217]

You guys deserve all the admiration you receive and more. You take us on a journey, raise up are spirits and make us laugh.

[@tinkerbellblue5142]

The United Clasp on the window of Wonders or the small Terracotta jar 😊😊

[@pdrphil8159]

Hope you have good hunting this year ... Your home must be wall to wall relics.. I had a friend who spent every free moment hunting U.S. civil war relics. His home was like a museum. I have a hunch your home is similar ... Happy hunting ladies.

[@petermcglashan7527]

Great finds Ladies

[@pamelapolk6254]

I live vicariously through you guys! I love traveling without leaving my house!

If there was a an award for best KZbinrs, it would go to both of you guys in my opinion!! Appreciate all of your hard work!! Much love!! Rebecca. Xx

[@lindameeks5228]

Gail & Alex, it's so much to watch your first mudlark of 2023. I think my favorite piece would be teeny tiny bottle Gail found. I love watching you both and hearing your excitement. Thank you so much for taking us along.

[@ericalbany]

7:41 - a Bodkin, used to make eyelet holes in cloth without cutting threads- you carefully work it through the weave, spreading the threads, then do a buttonhole stitch to finish the eyelet. The result is stronger because the threads are intact.

[@garypeterson4483]

think you should start the new year's window with o few of the beautiful beads from today

[@dianesevigny1381]

wow beautiful Jar

[@bonnerdebbie]

I think the tinest burst lip bottle would be a great start to the window of wonders. Happy and healthy 2023!

[@vettnetkramer1233]

Happy New Year. That tiny bottle would be good for the window.

[@lindabaldwin2568]

" I / We appreciate you both !!! A great start for 2023 😊👍❤"

[@Claire-be4gd]

Great video ladies , I do love watching, I'd like to see the glass battery in the window of wonders 😊❤

[@tinaharbit1806]

That slag glass is all so beautiful! Great finds ladies! Fantastic way to start the new year

[@kariannecrysler640]

The blue marble for the window for me lol. Great finds ladies thank you so much.😊

[@Carolbearce]

An awesome start to 2023. I love how that last cod marble found glittered. It was beautiful.

[@sisD]

Great video! 🎉 The slag glass should go in the window. I cried when you left the half bottle stopper. They’re perfect to turn into refrigerator magnets 😢 😱. Great day & night out. Half pipes can be secured down on wood as flowers & painted. JM CRAFTING Idea. ♥️ 🌹

[@kirstencook1439]

Keep Rocking 🤙 the good stuff👍 Beautiful people🤗 😋yum 2023 the 🖖 continue with your finds creative vision play faith zen connecting with us KZbin family energy 😉🙏💚💜🕊️🐇🇺🇲🦅🗽

[@jeanettedemaree7532]

[@cmcarpenter123cardsandthings]

Lovely finds. I think the smallest bottle is for the window of wonders.

[@kathrynsymonds9455]

Beautiful items discovered in today's video, beautiful scenery, photos and music xx looking forward to your next video already!! xxoo

[@sapphonymph8204]

HAPPY NEW YEAR NORTHERN MUDLARKS! The poison bottle in the window.

[@cherylburkitt9722]

Wonderful to see you again.. So much fun 😊 I love the dollies and the lamb n the whistle and the beads and how many times the word bottle is used...Gail is a hoot..I'm not taking any bottles... I love bottles..I'm taking it. Makes me giggle everytime 😂

[@CarlaDElisahtd4l]

Welcome 2023. So happy to see you back.💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@fionacesari1457]

Lovely video as always . Great finds Happy New. year to you both . Many thanks lots love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 xx ❤

[@colettebrown4972]

That buckle would be a nice frame for the bird and make a charm for a necklace.

[@leanneh5293]

Thank you for inspiring me to start a new hobby which then helped build a little business from it. You're true inspirations xxx

[@JR-yz2iy]

That looked a cold day, G&A. We really do appreciate you and all the mudlarks for braving this weather. Wishing you all the best for 2023. :)

[@M.Campbell]

The pointed bone item is an antique sewing bodkin.

[@kathymoreaux9467]

What a great first treasure hunt for 2023! I think the teeny tiny bottle Gail found should have a place of honor in the window of wonders! The white lid would make a great mushroom top! Thanks for sharing y’all’s joy with us!

[@rockreader4298]

Though I loved Gail's tiny bottle, when I displayed a rather rare military style button made of black glass or obsidian, on my windowsill, the intensity of the sun through the window caused pieces to chip off (as with my enamelware while it was hanging above my kitchen stove). Though the climate and is different there, I never display any fragile items on the windowsill or near a hot stove since then.

[@charlesperez9976]

Still watching the video,I love that bone sewing thing,I can only imagine how wonderfully tactile it must be! I have a nice story for you,back in September,London,Greenwich,on the Thames foreshore,by Cutty Sark. I found a silly little bit of gift shop tat,a cast resin thing,it was a charming little English cottage. I didn’t want to keep it,so I made my way up the stairs,and startled two French girls,tourists,and they backed away from me,as I was a mudlarky mess! I don’t speak French,but I said to them”no,no! Cadeau!” My attempt at saying ‘a gift!’ I set it down on the sidewalk,and went back downstairs. Back on the foreshore,I looked up,and the girls were holding the little cottage,and they smiled at me and waved,in appreciation! They understood. I waved back,and went about my way,and found lovely things that afternoon.

[@wha64]

Yet another outstanding video ladies. Wonderful treasures and a great start to a new year.

[@johnnabuzby6103]

The little Dutch girl is so pretty, she gets my vote for the windowsill of wonders this week, as well as the cricket buckle. Great start to the new year ladies. Greetings and best wishes to you both Gail and Alex for the year to come. The beads were very plentiful and lovely, as were the Codd marbles. How nice of Alan to gift you with the fid & the doll's arm. Hello from North Carolina!

[@johnnabuzby6103]

@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208 New Bern, NC here, hiya neighbor 😀 😊

[@maryowens9179]

My first thought was a toy lead fire hydrant.

[@sarahbrewer8945]

I love the cricket buckle. An unusual find for the window sill.

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

Yayyy Mudlark Barbie!!! I vote for the sewing kabobber!

[@tess.campbell]

I was thrilled to receive one of your finds as a Christmas gift from my daughter. She is a patron of yours and bought it from your etsy shop. It is a real treasure to me.

[@catepearce2138]

Hi, and welcome back, hope you had a beautiful Christmas break and wishing you an interesting and happy 2023. You have had a great start with so many varied and interesting items, difficult to decide a favorite though! Looking forward to seeing your imagination come to life on your creative channel 🥰. Take care and have a great week. xx

[@judymcpheron5955]

The black slag glass reminds me of twisted thick licorice sticks. The Liitle bird on porcelain is so sweet! Am excited to see what you make out of your lovely finds. Please, pretty please consider a whole show showing what you have recycled them into with just a brief word on it. That would be so fun! Thank yous for the lovely adventure, filming and music. We love yous! 💕💕💕

[@NorthernMudlarks]

We have a making channel here: www.youtube.com/@NorthernMudlarksMake

[@kristymcnett5746]

Always am looking forward to Sunday & your videos. Hope 2023 is 365 times better than 2022!

[@cynthiawilliams4796]

Love it when you go to this place. Thank you for all your hard work and braving the cold.

[@daviddarrall9384]

Belated best wishes for 2023. Look forward to all your magical finds! I just know you will do well. Also the very best of health to you both. Keep loving!

[@tarakidlit]

Love the glass marble filled with a blue glass swirl. Gorgeous. Happy mudlarking in the new year!

[@mrbarbelbarbello2332]

There's all kinds of objects worthy of the window, but I would like to nominate the blue cut glass bead. 'Who would these fardels bear, when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin?'. May you remain fardel free, and everyone else for that matter.

[@shereespeer1518]

Hi ladies. Wonderful finds today. I saw the name IZAAC or ISAAC in that first headstone. I love the mystery finds. Keep safe. 💜🥰🇦🇺🌞

[@donnastagg8438]

Happy New Year from Newfoundland, Canada. I've been a big fan for a few years . Love your videos.

[@roxiepoe9586]

Happy new year! Re: Glass bottle stoppers. If it isn't a nightmare to cut the long nubbin off, the tops could be set together into a pane by foiling the edges to solder them together. The little space between 4 circles could fit the cut off nubbin for an interesting surface texture. Or, I should not watch you late at night. :)

[@lindabaldwin2568]

Lol

[@debracarthew9432]

Thanks for the new adventure. It was a joy to watch as usual. Loved the tiny bottle and the United Clasp badge. Fascinating.

[@karenabendshien846]

Wonderful start for 2023! Thank you for sharing your adventures! I'm voting for the wee bottle and hope you find more. ️😉

[@izabelabhering7041]

Another most interesting mudlark! I vote for the chain, it is hand made and you two did a great job cleaning it! Best Spring wishes💐

[@bilirkisi7819]

Old coins are my favourite.💯

[@maryclasen9168]

I vote for the sewing tool for the window! Just wonderful...You two lift my spirits and I look forward to Every Single Video! With love and wishes for a happy new year.

[@garypeterson4483]

would be a great color for Alex's home made beads

[@charmansalls8937]

Happy New Year!!! Love the tiny bottle and all the beads!!

[@christhompson4270]

Awesome start to the new year and a new bead string? Well done guys amazing finds. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️

[@bevharrison8157]

Thank you lovely ladies , what a fab start to 2023. Here’s to a new year of bucket list finds.❤

[@sharonheron7559]

The black slag glass looked like liquorice - good enough to eat. 😉😋

[@redtrunkrelics]

I enjoy your channel very very much :) Thank you from Southern Ontario Canada

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thank you very much! xx

[@carolhiler4690]

I think the blue marble sitting on top of the tinniest bottle would look lovely in the Window of Wonders.

[@Chrissie1983]

Aw, love the little sheep 🐑 💕 xx

[@lisaegan9992]

Thank you beautiful ladies! Great finds!

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

The tiny burslip bottle is my vote for the first 2023 Window of Wonders display. Such lovely finds for first trip of the new year. The beads are my other favs, especially the small (possible ?) bone carved one and the opalescent bigger bead. Fun!

[@kathrynsymonds9455]

The ziggy button would look beautiful in the window xx

[@mbstoneseeker]

So many wonderful finds!💖💖💖💖

[@teresaganey4644]

Happy holidays ladies.i love your program.I watch all.of your videos Love from Georgia USA

[@countesscable]

I loved the gurgle lapping sound of the water in the beginning. I could fall to sleep to that!

[@amandabell8827]

What a wonderful selection of finds! The bone/ivory bead is very interesting, I haven't seen one like that before. My favourite has to be the Soldier with the bent gun, funny yet poignant. 😁💗 x

[@claremaidofthewave251]

Happy New Year Ladies🎉. Please consider another hiding of treasure in the Borders🥰. Great fun even if it’s already found. ❤️❤️👌🏻

[@stephenbyrne6803]

Some wonderful finds. I used one of those bodkins when I used to make rag strip rugs (we called the strips 'lists') in the 1950s with my grandma in Dewsbury. We cut old coats into strips and pushed them through a hole made by the bodkin in the hessian material. The rugs were very hard wearing.

[@solanisomeni]

I am a fairly new subscriber (a few months) and just want to thank you Gail and Alex for letting me spend the Holidays with you. I have been/and still am binge watching both yours and Katie/Fleur - Kit & Caboodlers KZbin videos. You have all been able to provide me with so much peace, tranquility and soothing of the soul. Just being able to "follow along" on your adventures, share the pure happiness as well as giddiness when you make your finds, be them rare or not. It has helped me so much. I do crafting too, however not so much with older finds since I've not been able to locate any "dumps" over here in Sweden. Would really love to though. I do make jewelry from semi precious stones, as well as make my own soaps from scratch, natural body products, do my own food preserving and everything that entails. I have been very low due to "stuff" that has happened over the past 2 years. And, not had the energy or will to create anything but, I'm finding that both of your channels have started to wake my creative spirit once again. Thank you and much love to you both. //Solani❤

[@donnabrewer4971]

What a wonderful first mudlark of the year!

[@morningdewgarden7432]

You all find so many great little objects for sculptures and collage and just still life arrangements for photography or for painting... The possibilities are positively endless!!! Not to mention about a billion different crafty ideas... just off the top of my head of course!

[@phineas117]

oh, the tiniest bottle for the window!!!!

[@daviddarrall9384]

Sounds like a pub, 'The Wheel and Whistle'!

[@DutchCreekRanch1]

[@oceanluvngal]

Wonderful start to 2023. Happy New Year ladies. The tiny burst lip bottle gets my vote for the window today.

[@amazinggrace4036]

Thank you Gail and Alex…i love your videos, so sublime and restful and at the end the table of goodies, yay …for this one all your items are fantastic…anyone would look good in the window…btw it so cute to hear Alex in the background sometimes when you are filming faraway from each other…she has a sweet voice…reminds me of a British actress of the 60’s! 😊😊have a grand new year! 🌹

[@steventhomas4288]

Good luck for 2023. I hope you continue to grow and grow. And lots of lovely historic finds ❤ 💕 😊

[@SuzyEH]

What a great start for 2023. I think the mother of peral with the holes around the edge was a button that would have been set with little rhinestones. Love to you both from Seattle.

[@m.k.9405]

It's good to see you back, Happy New Year. You are my favorite YT channel. Looking forward to watching many more of your mudlarking videos of 2023♥️

[@jerlynneallison6361]

My vote for the WoW is the tiny bottle and the glass battery. Happy New Year Ladies!! 🎉🎈🥳🎈🕛🎈🧨🎈🎊

[@lotusdolphin]

Gail and Alex, you started out with a bang! You found some lovely things. I can’t believe all the beads. I was just gob smacked. Along with your cob marbles. I like the little Dutch girl and the cricket badge to go in the window of curiosities this year, those two would be my pick. Thank you so much for battling the cold. That was brutal and sheer dedication! I appreciate you. Thank you and love from California.💜🤗🤟🏻🥳🇺🇸

[@GrannyGrama101]

What are the clear blue glass thing on the table. It's very pretty 😍
