River Wading, and Dumpsite exploring. A Mudlark with friends.

I went mudlarking with Caroline and Phil, of Let's Go With the Johnsons... took them to a site that has been good to me in the past, then went on alone to explore and check out two other sites.

So glad to hear your voice again Tom. It sounds like you've had a hell of a time getting back to normal. Sending healing energy to you. Thank you for going to the trouble of posting these videos for us. I am lonely. Charlie lost his fight with cancer. Too much time on my hands.

Thanks Debbie, I don't think it's a top tier video... mostly dumpsites and overgrown plantlife. The next one is almost all river walking, and it's more than halfway finished... should be out in 2 weeks (by which time I'll have also edited at least another one, I'm trying hard to get ahead to avoid having any long gaps before Christmas). 🙂

[@PolyvoreThea]

On a difficult day after my mother’s death, this video was a quiet joy. It calmed me. The waterfall in the beginning made me happy (waterfalls are my sacred places) and the flowers are amazing. I really loved that kitchen backsplash you found. I would have tried to drag that home. Thank you for persisting through your own hard times. It makes a great impression.

[@tomburleigh9261]

I'm so sorry for your loss Thea, and glad that my video could offer a little respite. I did end up carrying the splashback more than half the way back to the cars, for Phil. I think he intended it for his shed, though I haven't seen it in his video segments there, it's probably in a pile of project material awaiting inspiration. Waterfalls are happy places for me too, I hope you'll enjoy my next video; it has plenty of weirs 🙂

That brought back great memories Tom... Sorry to hear that you've been so poorly and the added frustration of the technical troubles. We are planning a trip back to Yorkshire in November, so a lot less vegetation to battle with, just hoping for a few dry days! Take care and thanks.

[@tomburleigh9261]

It was certainly a good visit; albeit this site didn't really deliver as well as it has done before, and since. It will be great to see you both in November, I hope I can think of some good places for us to visit. I recently found a likely looking site on google maps, satellite view... but it's quite a trek, and I haven't visited it yet... for all I know it might have been built on since the Google satellites went over. Hope you're both well, and that the weather is kind when you visit. 🙂

[@rikspector]

Tom, Even your less than ideal days give me a sense of calm. You had company, sharing can be rewarding. The Sheep are softly grazing, what a bucolic sight(site). Your recovery is a joy to me, your too young and dedicated to let illness stop you. I have discovered, barring serious illness, that exercising through it or practicing music with the local band, seems to work in easing my discomfort. Although I became an Octogenarian in February I still have many better than worse days for which I am very grateful as many of my friends and collogues have departed. Carpe Diem! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Rik, I've still got a bit of recovery to go, but gently increasing amounts of exercise is helping, as is making music 🙂 I'm glad you still have many better than worse days, I hope you continue having many for all your days.

Always a great day when I find a new Tom Burleigh video. Happy to hear you’re feeling better. Don’t know if you’ll have luck finding the answer to your tin question but there’s a channel from Florida called sreetips. He demonstrates techniques for refining metals. He seems quite willing to answer questions, no matter how small. I hope he’s made it thru the hurricane. I will never attempt to refine precious metals but I still enjoy his channel. Tom I hope you know how much we all love your videos, whenever they may come. I for one would listen to you reading the phone book😊. Take care of yourself ✌️

I am so glad you have recovered! I am sure you know the quote from Hamlet: "When sorrows come, they come not as single spies, but in battalions." And thank you for naming the other mudlarking sites. They are interesting, but no one, no one, can match your narratives and your voice which always elevate the simple pleasures of walking and exploration. This walk was lovely. Thank you.

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks for reminding me, it's a long long time since I've read Hamlet... and it's probably a better quote than the one I used. I'm glad you like my narrative and voice, it's sometimes all I've got to go on when I don't find much. 🙂

In my case, it's multiple reasons... my back really doesn't like me digging; I prefer exploring to really concentrating on just one area; for a lot of my audience, the finds are secondary to the walk and the talk, I don't think I could talk about things in the same way digging them out of a hole. And yes, I'm a bit lazy. 🙂

Thanks Victor. I hope your illness allows you some good days, where you can enjoy a bit of outdoors... perhaps a garden!? I'm working well at the moment, so the next few videos should be up more or less every 2 weeks. 🙂

[@aveymoon]

Thoroughly enjoyed your ramble with the Johnsons! Hope you're recovering well..🙂

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thank you, I'm getting there. Should be able to get out about mudlarking again soon. 🙂

[@lindaopperthauser2284]

Shoot... I'd dig up one of those lush ferns and bring it home!!🌿

[@tomburleigh9261]

They are beautiful, I've tried to grow some at home, but I couldn't keep both it and me happy... they like a lot of humidity, and I like prefer things less damp. 🙂

Hello Tom! Thank you for all of the good videos filled with calming adventures and treasure. I believe the quartz nodule that you found could be a small geode. I have found many similar shaped geodes in California and sometimes they are hollow, and sometimes they are like a thin cave with tiny crystals. Anyway, if you aren’t attached to it, it might be fun to break it open! Though I could be completely wrong…😂😮❤ All the best to you.

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Mary, I'm not attached to it, so will give that a go. 🙂

[@DMC8707]

Keep water clean, and clean up the trash stuff in the river. It's important for people to drink healthy water. 🙂

*Tom, please take care and I hope your back is now ok. Not good to fall over at any age. I enjoyed this video and your calming voice.*

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Andrea, my back is better, and I'm almost out of the post viral fatigue stage... slowly getting back to a fitness level where I can try mudlarking again. 🙂

[@lindaopperthauser2284]

Glad you're feeling somewhat better😃 Missed ya!💚💙

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Linda. 🙂

@6:08 I think you’re right about the horse tackle. That was my first thought and maybe from a working horse. Great video and very relaxing. You have good friends.

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks A Layne... it was the thought that seemed most right for it, no idea why though... perhaps because it was oval rather than round, so there'd be a bit of movement possible. And yes, I have some wonderful friends. 🙂

Hello Mr. Tom. A wonderful video as always. I couldn’t leave the bottles behind. I love old bottles. I live in North West Alabama in the states. We don’t have anywhere to mudlark here. Take care Mr. Tom.

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Lindie. I love old bottles too, but got too many of them now. Wish I could do giveaways of them, but I haven't had much luck with posting old bottles, no matter how well I package them.

[@alicewall5363]

A place like that where I live would have you saying, "What's that? Oh, a snake. And here... another snake. And that, in this pool of water? Yes, of course, a snake...."

[@tomburleigh9261]

The only snake I've seen out on a mudlark so far, has been rubber. A shame, I quite like snakes and most of the ones I could possibly see here aren't very dangerous. The Adder is the only native poisonous snake, and it doesn't really like the sort of areas I'm going. 🙂

Thanks for the video! 😊love it love it all. love to have some bottles. watch a packing video so to learn packaging .

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thank Alma. I used to sell things on eBay and Amazon, so I'm at packaging things... never really had things damaged in transit till I tried sending a few vintage bottles.

Nice seeing your adventures again, beautiful content and commentary. Stay well Tom.

Thanks Misty By nature, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you're keeping well too. 🙂

All well here and thanks for your reply 😊

[@lexieslarksandcrafts]

Lovely to see you posting again Tom. Sorry to hear you have been unwell and have had computer issues. Hope you are all well otherwise. I really enjoyed the video. The plate is a fantastic find. I have a small amount of copper offcuts from my jewellery work you are welcome to have. They are no good to me as we have no facility to smelt them 😊

[@tomburleigh9261]

Thanks Lexie, apart from all the problems I'm OK, and most of the problems are fading into the past now. 🙂. I hope you're well too (and have been able to get home of the medicine the Tik Tok fad made scarse!?) Your offcut copper is a very kind offer, and I'd be very happy to accept if there's an economic means of transfer, eg. meeting up sometime for mudlarking and droning; or saving it up and sending a bigger parcel that I pay for. 🙂

[@lexieslarksandcrafts]

@@tomburleigh9261 I am sure we will meet up at some point. Glad to hear you are ok. I am still unable to get my injection. Meant to ask, do you watch the Hull History Nerd on here? He is pretty good 👍

Aw, I'm sorry you've got constant back pain. I have bouts of it, a few each year, but it's muscular based and can be more or less managed. I hope you get some respite from yours.

I would like to have one of those glass bottle stoppers .

I'm hoping to do a giveaway one day, and glass bottle stoppers can certainly be a part of that. In the meantime, there's plenty on eBay; I searched "Victorian and Vintage Glass Bottle Stoppers." 🙂

How about a marmalade jag too ? For the give away too . I live in Illinois USA .

[@tomburleigh9261]

Sure. Wish I'd picked up that nice condition one I found near the end of this video then... might have to go back there for it. 🙂
