Floods of Mudlarking Finds - See What We Found on the Flooded River Foreshore! Treasures!

[@taravitti2544]

My husband thoroughly enjoys watching your larking videos. Our 3 year old, Gloria, has taken up the interest in watching your shows as well… she seems to have a fascination in listening to your pleasant voices as you search. You should consider doing story book readings for small children once and a while, maybe… on one of your other venues? My husband says your voices have a relaxing effect as he watches your larking.

You can make a wind chime with the wine bottle with the bottom out of it ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🗝️

The history of those porcelian flowers was so bittersweet..that they survived all this time,and the lovely dove, is truly touching.Great finds today.loved coming home to this today!

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Immortelles such as the little flowers you found, were usually painted in bright colours. They were used because they would last longer than real/organic floral wreaths and arrangements , and maintain a colourful presence at the grave of a loved one. They were very popular in the Victorian and the Edwardian eras. Think of them as the Victorian equivalent to plastic flowers but kind of fancier in cases. A brightly and realistically painted porcelain wreath must have been a very beautiful sight to see when strolling around a cemetery. Also very different from the “dome” style decoration. I could imagine that, just like most products, they would have come in different levels of quality and price. I’ve read about porcelain wreaths being discovered by people when they were restoring and cleaning vegetation away from old graves - some still had their colours due to being made of quality kiln fired porcelain and glazes. How amazing would that be to find? Looking online, some of these wreaths were (and still are) absolutely beautiful. Their survival, although found underneath overgrown vegetation, is such a testament to not only their quality, but the care and respect taken by the people attending to the grave back in the day. I’ve really enjoyed learning about these, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with me here, very much appreciated. I might have gone on believing that these were cake decorations and/or cake candle holders. 😳 Thanks again ❤ 🙂🐿🌈❤️

[@redparrot9489]

Love your channel. Broke my heart that you couldn’t take that gorgeous big art nouveau tile. (Always take a bag. 💕💕💕) 💕🇨🇦

[@user-us8zf3ew5i]

WOW the Immortelles are interesting, beautiful, and sentimental. What a lovely find.

[@iamshotty]

I couldn't agree more - interesting, beautiful, and sentimental, that someone has gone to the trouble to have it made for someone they obviously loved very much ❤🇦🇺

[@rockersfromaz3001]

I didn’t want the video to end! I could watch you ladies all day!! ❤️

[@christineingram55]

The small lid could even have been a snuff box…Those flowers in the domes.I have actually seen a few,the ones I saw had been painted and looked like real flowers,they were very pretty,the trouble with them was if they got knocked or hit with a tiny stone that got through the metal cage,the glass would be compromised and it would get damp and misty inside,which spoilt them. You had some nice finds today !that water looked fast and cold though.Thanks for taking us along ,Love n Light 🥰

[@novampires223]

When I was a kid hunting agates in our creek, I called it dislocating your eyes so I could see a larger area and spot rocks that did not blend in.. 😊

[@tuahiwi39]

I do too. It's like you've got the go cross-eyed for a bit before your eyes can focus on actually finding. Your mind resets, relaxs and becomes more aware of everything in 'this' space. All of the 'stuff' that clutters it up with noise and flashing images disappears. And you take a deep breath...

[@DawnSowa-x8m]

T All the flowers would look amazing around a mirror. Lovely finds. well done good luck.

[@kennethboydsr3966]

I love watching you finding all these tiny treasures I always enjoyed lookin for arrow heads and found 2 tomahawks and broken pottery ❤😊

[@tuahiwi39]

I'm absolutely loving your new format, lovely ladies. The chatter and long shots made me feel like I was sitting there watching you. And I enjoy the jumping back and forth. Each story was interesting and then I got to join the lark again... Yay! Engaging, entertaining, interesting and fun. Thanks for the lark 😊

[@Bananacustardcostuming]

Oh I’m so jealous of the Immortelle, I collect Victorian funeral and mourning items and I would TREASURE something like that!

[@jessamynsommers5007]

Well you must recreate a Immortelle now! What amazing things, never knew they existed.

[@SandraTomey]

It really showed how people loved their ancestors. What a way to honor and respect their loved ones. Really loved these find. Wonderful!

[@christopherbrubaker2070]

Very well done again. Nice hunt. A few thoughts for the Baka lite comb. I’m obviously a letter opener. More crafty could be tiny sea glass glued in the gaps of the comb, possibly lit by a candle behind, or a decorative holiday wall hanging. I thought the long bottle would make a fine funnel, or plant watering ( funnel) to water for a few days. The funnel bottle could be fashioned with a wire mesh basket inside to help filter and clean things. Just spit ballin’ You are my favorite to watch. Such great editing. I enjoy the scenery and music in between. Very enjoyable time for me. Thank you

[@Dove96]

As soon as you said the shop was open I went straight there. Sadly only a few pieces of jewellery were left. Good for you! Love your crafting and your show.

[@julieisthatart]

An especially lovely show today. I sure enjoyed it.

[@f.k.burnham8491]

That is a Minie' bullet often called a Mini ball. Dates back to the 1860's. Extensively used by the Union Forces in the American Civil War. That is called a 3 ringer, in collectors terms. They were more accurate than round ball. Fired from a rifled black powder musket, as opposed to a smooth bore musket. Likely 58 caliber. The piece with Kitchener on it could possibly be the sliding lid to a snuff box?

[@pigoff123]

They are not vulgar. They are beautiful.

[@snarkycard]

"She's just a little rough around the bonnet ... aren't we all?" lol! Gail you're such a hoot!

[@jeannienash5249]

❤Luv ya bunches @Alex and @Gail❤

[@shellspear]

Love your adventures ❤

[@DianeBeeEss]

The Oddish chrome-like thing Alex found looks like a music holder. Like for someone in a marching band.

[@kellyw.1779]

Hello Gail and Alex! Loved all the amazing finds. It's the thrill of the hunt and not knowing what treasures will be discovered that brings you back for more, how fun and exciting! Have a wonderful week ladies...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!🤗💙

[@richardserridge2767]

Those little porcelain flowers are exquisite! You always find nice finds there!

[@gypsea23]

[@NorthernMudlarks]

[@suewarnes9469]

Hi Ladies! Looking forward to seeing what treasures you are going to find! 🤗 I love the word ‘busty crutton’ it makes me smile.☺️had to edit and add ‘ burly swedes’! I can associate with that Gail..being rough around the bonnet!😂 Lovely interesting video. Thank you so much.👍☺️💐

[@cathyjay2569]

I thought the “teapot spout” was like a pie bird to let the steam escape. I wish I could watch one of your mudlarks every day!❤TN Nana

[@michelehood8837]

That’s just what I thought, too!

[@XPALYDO]

Love all your finds today! So sweet….

[@kimberlymolitor354]

I love how you still find beauty in the cracked, bashed, rusty, crusty, bits!!! The history of the imortelles was wonderful!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@suzanconklin8415]

I love the porcelain flowers from the old grave bouquet, a bit sad but so delicate.

[@trinawagner2471]

I think the immortelles Are beautiful

[@kathleenyoder5186]

I’ve never heard of immortals before but I really love them!

[@christinecampbell7404]

That beautiful little green bottle would look lovely on a sunny window sill

[@StarSystemAndromeda]

That was an amazing larking video with so many great finds! I loved the gorgeous tile that Gail found (and apparently hid) as it was not in the roundup. Thank you both for all your hard work!! I hope you know how much you are appreciated!! Best wishes to you!! 💖💖

[@VickieV1333]

I love this format!

[@deniseview4253]

It's so nice seeing you ladies. I so appreciate all the great treasures you find. It's like I find them also.

[@denisew3917]

Thanks for the adventure. Like the way when you find an unusual object you can do a research and report back, and then go back to site to find more. The history of the little flowers was the best.

[@forgottenfurbabies3315]

[@colleenfoster997]

The video quality is great

[@karenabendshien846]

So much fun, what a good lark! Do you ever go back and see things on the video that you missed? I sometimes see things when you ask if we can spot the find and you go for something else. Thanks again ladies!

[@juliehampton3043]

Great hunt ladies.some lovely finds and lots of information xx

[@nanellevantonder3767]

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Make no mistake. I follow your every step!😊❤

[@wha64]

And yet another fabulous video ladies. The find’s were awesome. The little porcelain grave marker history was very interesting.

[@janelovesy2399]

Thank you both for your videos, they are so enjoyable

[@lovedaybebe5881]

That little donkey , 🫏 would make a good Christmas tree decoration . Lovely as ever , thank you both 🙏

[@ceceliakeown5653]

Oh it would..good idea! The precious little donkey that carried Mary and EMANUEL.

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

19:06 thanks for showing the heart-shape stone for us fans, Gail. I (might) have too many stone hearts... from larger ones lining my walk-way to smaller ones decorating my cabin. Not to mention the groovy lucky one in my pocket😘🍀🌻🐝

[@pamelabettcher1659]

So many beautiful pieces of glass I see in the background that you don't pick up. I love the glass.

[@carolekinsey7835]

Some very interesting finds ladies. Plus always some history that always keeps my interest. The little white flowers, clasping hands and dove for example. I've never seen these type of grave goods before. I doubt they would last in todays climate. They would surely go missing, sadly. How sad that someones grave had these things removed and ended up in the waste. I'm glad you ladies have found many of them and will i hope, make something beautiful with them. That box lid thing was so detailed. I hope someone knows who it represents and what it was. I think your probably right with your guess though Alex. I also loved the pretty pottery pieces you found Gail. The birds were beautiful. What lovely things they must have been when whole. Thanks for taking us along. Very enjoyable. 😊xx

[@Pinkapotomus]

A great haul!!

[@lindawoodhouse1584]

The odd item at 33.40 is a victorian skirt lifter . There are many designs and that one is one of the simplest.

[@elinkeykramme6511]

Thx great info 🎉

[@sjs260563]

my thoughts exactly :)

[@amandamatlock8218]

Oh my word, you are right!

[@deeannmcginnis2115]

I had never heard of the porcelain memorial arrangements before. How beautiful.

[@dannmccord1923]

Found lots pf beautiful finds. So much cool stuff. Love them all.

[@lawrencekelli]

Enjoy you videos so much. Thank you!

[@LoriZabielski]

You could make a wind chimes with the Flores and dove from the funeral decorations

[@ceceliakeown5653]

Thats a nice idea. I d like to see a wreath most of all.

[@kestraavalon]

Love this place, you should go back and film more there. 💙

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear lovely Morthern Nudlarking Ladies. Amongst all the spoonerism I love soooo much, one question popped up: Is finding armless dolls harmless? 😁 ;-) Rest begards, huck and lealth in cartipular.

[@elinkeykramme6511]

That bakelite comb, would be great antlers 🦌

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Oh yes!

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

Alex needs to cast the top of that little pill box, that would make a really cool cabochon I think... I hope Gail goes back for that heavy tile, it was gorgeous!

[@59tante]

Immortals...how interesting. Never heard of them before

[@FionaMurdoch-i2f]

SO relaxing to watch, great fun and informative. What more could you ask for? Thank you both.

[@kathrynsymonds9455]
