Searching For Strange Little Crystals in the Beautiful English Hills!

[@sapphonymph8204]

As you were falling to your death you were looking around for finds? Now that's dedication. No wonder I love ya'll so much.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

haha! xx

[@leeshirt1]

That gave me a good chuckle but I am glad you're ok after your exfoliation. Phew!

[@bkitteh6295]

[Anyone else getting 2 audio tracks starting at 29:47? Gail's voice explaining the little pathways in the grass + Alex doing the wrap-up? I've dropped my device a couple of (hundred) times & am wondering if it's finally pay back time.] Thanks so much for the lovely flowers + labels. You have no idea how much I appreciate the identifications. I have what seems like miles of rockery around my lot, & your pictures gave me some great ideas for planting. Enjoy working with your beautiful crystals. Can't wait to see what you do with them. You''ll show us, yes? Alex, good luck with your exfoliated 🦵 & 💪. The black & blue markers will ensure that all can see how smooth your skin is (between the crusty bits that were over-exfoliated). Although your method is economical, you may want to consider a trained 🥼 aesthetician in the future. 😁 Be careful out there, you two! ❤

[@fountainpeninsanity3344]

It’s not just you. There are 2 audio tracks at once.

[@Coffeeislife33]

I heard it also

[@ohnoesrose]

Geologist here! The hexagonal crystal found at about the 25 minute mark looks like hexagonal calcite based off of the angles and shape. Looks a lot like the hexagonal calcite from the Sweetwater mine if you'd like to look up references!

[@angelas6683]

Thank you so much for adding the names of the flora you always so beautifully share! Isn't it amazing how they are still able to enrich our lives even in dry conditions. All blessings!

[@khayes9591]

I’m so glad you are okay Alex! ❤

[@nilo70]

She’s Young , She will be fine . She is an amazing woman 😊

[@eleanorlaurent2303]

My mother and daughter came running as Alex went down the hill...I recently had knee surgery, and they thought I had fallen because I was yelling like I was the one going down the hill! They were not happy to find me snug in bed 😁

[@khayes9591]

@@eleanorlaurent2303 :D

[@juliahorton2203]

Thank you! thank you !,thank you! For putting the names of the plants on the screen. I am in the U S and your plants are so different than ours. I am all the time to trying to figure out what they are . Please keep it up, and I won't go crazy. Julia from Ohio.

[@joyceloudon368]

Love to see the flora and appreciate your identifying them for us.

[@chantillychandra]

The mystery crystal seems to be a "botryoidal golf-idite" very rare! Good find!😅

[@bonnerdebbie]

Alex, I am so glad you didn't get hurt worse, I am sure that was painful enough. Beautiful crystals and slag glass. Flowers are stunning. Thanks.

[@SapphireTina]

Huge greetings from Ukraine! Comment in support of the channel. Keep yourselves! I love your videos, even though I don't know English at all. Just this aesthetics, presentation, and of course your finds are fascinating. Good luck! If there are mistakes in what I wrote, please forgive me, this is the translator🤗.

[@briandicks3805]

Get back to your war.

[@FlippinLids]

Oh Alex I'm so sorry that you fell on a day where you first wore shorts. Such fantastic Crystals and beautiful flowers and the most beautiful ones of all, Gayle and Alex you out shine all the beautiful things you find!

[@northernerinnc3179]

Falling is scary terrifying....Falling and filming that fall is the stuff of a warrior.... Falling, filming, AND regretting the crystals that you were perilously falling past as you ....were ...."falling to your death..." is heroic! Thank you for graciously leaving the fall footage in the video.

[@Graeme408]

Delightful to see Alex along on the adventures. She has a wonderfully curious mind and an eagle sharp eye. Watch for Alex’s comments and fascinating finds.

[@indysmith4437]

I’ve used old electrical insulators -glass and porcelain - as candlestick holders for many years, as they seem made for such use. The colours are quite beautiful too. Great filming. Thank you for sharing.

[@sme_sage1241]

Gail, it’s apparent where Alex gets her dry sense of humor from 😂 Loved seeing your mysterious ball and Alex’ “Lordy” after she slipped, along with “There are better ways to exfoliate.” 😂😂 Watching the seemingly barren land becoming, all of a sudden, a lush area with water and vibrant colors was amazing. Looking forward to seeing your finds after cleaning and tumbling (and maybe torching)👍🤗🤗

[@nitabourne3042]

HI GAIL AND ALEX!! WOW ALEX, I LOVE YOUR VOICE. IT'S SO MELANCHOLY, I LOVED THE SONG TOO. I HOPE YOUR OK AND YOU DON'T BRUISE. THANK YOU FOR NAMING ALL THE WILD FLOWERS. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO CATALOG THEM WITH NAME AND PICTURE AND SAMPLE FLOWER TO PRESS. LOVE THE PURPLE 🔮 CRYSTALS AND THE GREEN STONES. LOVE SEEING BOTH OF YOU AND WISH YOU BOTH GREAT HEALTH. 👍🏾 THANKS FOR SHARING AND STAY SAFE. ❤️ 🙏❤️🙏

[@angiewright692]

What an adventure! Various crystals, fossils, tons of wildflowers, and gorgeous landscape. 🥰

[@rockreader4298]

Ladies, what fabulous natural treasures! I said a little prayer for you as I saw you had fallen, Alex. I know you had to feel some trauma and soreness in your muscles afterwards, but I'm grateful you are safe and sound from the harm that could have befallen you. Thank you and Gail, for taking us along to enjoy such breathtaking landscapes. Looking forward to seeing your gems clean and sparkly. ((Hugs)) to you both.

[@rawilson7768]

I loved the sense of humor in this episode. Alex jokes about better ways to exfoliate after she shredded her leg like grating cheese by sliding down a mountain. As she fell I kept saying, “Oh no, oh no, oh no!” So glad you didn’t break anything. Everything for the views. Then Gail, jokes about the crystal she found that was round, with dimples and has a name on it. Fun hunting with you.

[@billygraham8662]

Alex be careful. And thank you all for putting the names of the and the flowers on there.

[@rachelmyers8746]

The round one was a golf ball😊 with the groves

[@daviddarrall9384]

Always love your opening theme music, it sounds so adventurous! Just like you two girls! ❤

[@calgram]

What an exciting adventure today ladies! My heart was in my throat when Alex slid down the steep hillside, and I'm so glad she didn't hurt herself too badly. That fossil was cool. I imagine a paleontologist, after slicing a cross section, could tell if it was plant or bone. So interesting. I especially loved to drone footage of that wild and beautiful area. I hope you can do more of that in future. Thank you for naming all the lovely plants, which I find beautiful and interesting. Those purple fluorite crystals are beautiful! Can't wait to see your cache of finds all cleaned up!

[@MyMiaArabella]

Alex and Gail search hill and dale for quartz and fluorite and slag glass. But be careful don’t trip! Don’t misstep and slip, down a steep bank and scratch up your….. sorry, I can’t think of a word to rhyme with glass.😁 All kidding (and bad poetry) aside….please be careful out there. How far are you from help if you were to really injure yourself. We like you, we want you to stay in one piece please. 😉❤️. Beautiful video! The landscape is stunning!

[@janetmonroe5031]

So sorry you got hurt. Positive vibes to feeling better. Your a very strong woman to carry on and continue hunting.

[@iansuehooper7542]

Love this part of the Pennines, a harsh beauty peppered with those colourful wild flowers. Tumbling and polishing some of those gorgeous stones would be something to behold.

[@kellyw.1779]

Hello Gail and Alex! Y'all really found some amazing crystals and the fossil's were so cool as well. Thank goodness you didn't really injury yourself on that steep incline. It never fails, just when we think about what we "don't" want to happen...it does! Lol The gorgeous countryside with the flowers, water and sheep was stunning. Would love to see the crystals all cleaned up and or polished and made into some jewelry...hint hint!!😁😂 Love when y'all make items. This was another fun adventure from our "digging diva's"...the Northern Mudlarks! Take care. Big ((Hugs)) from Texas!🤗💙

[@jenniferbrown9131]

Lol Alex-your silent death fall, aaaaannnddd the dedication to your craft as you continued looking for specimens!!! Also thanks for adding names to the flora!!!☀️☀️☀️

[@kristymcnett5746]

Can't wait to see the jewelry you're going to be making!😊❤

[@dawsie]

Now I feel home sick all over again, I regret not taking the chance to visit all those years ago, but I learnt about the world ticket after I had gotten back from the States. It was nice seeing the flowers again. As a family we use to take weekend trips when both my parents got the weekends off or if Dad had a call out to a big job, we would all tag along and pitch the tent for the weekend. I miss those days of my childhood😊 Thanks for sharing the plants and flower lol it was nice knowing I got them right before their names popped up on the screen🤗

[@skcamerican]

Oooo, those insulators are just big garden beads! Nice going, Alex! You film as you fall, assess the damage, then get back to the hunt. I admire your spirit. I know you two carry packs and bags and trowels and tweezers, but you might add some kind of multitool to your kit. Something like a leatherman, with pliers, knife, screwdrivers, can openers and more. For those cotter-pin-type jobs, or prying, poking, cutting. Swiss Army or scout knife? Though they have no pliers. Well, there are lots out there, at all price points. Could come in handy with your ebike as well. Enjoyed your adventure! Well, not the falling bit.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Love the crystals, great job ladies 👌

[@Woodthrush]

I loved learning the names of the flowers! Thank you! 🌸🌼🌸🌼

[@releasingendorphins232]

I enjoyed your adventure so much. Beautiful and ancient finds. There is no denying the Mother/Daughter Duo. You look and act so much alike. Both Beautiful and Intelligent. I'm Loving You in Oklahoma, Barb.

[@jaxntax5509]

As for your nicely dimpled mineral, I am reminded of something once said by Samuel Clemmons ( nom de plum) Mark Twain. A very good way to ruin a good brisk morning walk.😊

[@marciajohnson6767]

Beautiful music and scenery! Thank you ever so much for sharing this ❤️ great fossils and gems!😊😊😊

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Glad you enjoyed it! xx

[@merahertel6256]

Beautiful purple and white flowers to go with the purple and white crystals. So pretty. I hope that sheep found some water. Careful out there!

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

Ladies,Ladies,Ladies! I am so praying 4 Ur safety bc U guys take me on journeys I've never been or ever will get 2 go, but y'all bless my heart by just getting so deep n 2 what Ur looking 4. I'm so n tooned with y'all and yes, I'm from the south of Cairo Georgia, and that's pronounced, K ,-Cairo. The I is silent. Lol. Alex. I thank God Ur safe and ok. U remind me of myself so much.

Please stay safe and Im praying 4 y'all's safety and thank y'all so much 4 the wonderful adventures. I don't no y'all but no that I love y'all and God bless. 🙂

[@maiguapa8]

As a rockhound myself, I was worried about Alex slipping off the rocky hillside but I can relate 😮 anyways lovely crystals but I think the white ones are not quartz though. They may be selenite or fluorite, maybe. Alex, I can feel the scratches on your arm and legs. Be careful next time. I love watching your finds. ❤

[@kitkat8231]

Love the scenic videography set to music. So calming and beautiful ❤️

[@oceanluvngal]

Oh my gosh Alex, you took that fall like a rugby tackle, barely a wince. Absolutely gorgeous scenery and finds this video. I really appreciated having the names of the birds and plants on screen. We have some of the same plants here in Atlantic Canada but our growing season is about 3-4 behind yours. Hope you get some rain soon.

[@oceanluvngal]

* 3-4 weeks

[@tanithmessenger3581]

Geez Alex, so glad you're ok! The things you do to make videos for us to watch, your health and well being is much more important! I can't believe you continues to film on the way down, crazy lady :-D What beautiful finds ladies. Thank you for naming the flora and fauna for us, as well as the crystals. Take care both xx

[@RedSquirrelful]

You may have been falling to your death, Alex but you didn't drop the camera or swear...AND you saw some finds on the way down!!! Great effort! Love your channel.

[@lorienray6216]

Those insulators would make great candle holders. Alex that beautiful crystal looks like a hexagon, cannot wait to see them all cleaned up, they are so beautiful. Love going on these adventures with you both. 27:38 is wild flow, I use to grow.

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

Wonderful crystals! Glad Alex is ok after the tumble down the mountain...

[@JustJudyLynn]

I am jealous. All those wonder crystals! Love the flora. Never saw a white thistle before. Really enjoy your explorations.

[@DianeGreeney-ly4fq]

What beautiful photography with all the lovely wildflowers. Glad you were ok after your fall Alex. Be careful! Look forward to your adventures every week.

[@samanthabloggins1775]

Im sure you were kidding when you said that you didnt know what a golf ball was!!😂😂

[@lizbeebe9649]

Oh Alex, I hope you are ok! Scraping your arm and leg doesn’t feel good! I am so sorry that you hurt yourself! I love you and your Mom’s adventures, you two are so wonderful together! You are brilliant!💕

[@repeat_defender]

That drone footage is spectacular!!! That river gorge… i’m just watching on a little ipad but it was stunning! And such wonderful treasures, what a perfect day.

[@kathrynwallkowicz7223]

Ah wonderful s always. Cant wait to see what comes of these finds. Glad the hill tumbling wasn't a worse experience. Very scary. Take care❤❤❤

[@janicescragg2388]

The small fluorite crystals are going to make amazing jewelry. I can't wait to see it.

[@christhompson4270]

That was awesome, thank you for naming the different flowers and I’ve never seen a white thistle it’s very pretty. Take care and thanks again for sharing 👍🙏❤️

[@tinacolixia8951]

I absolutely love the crystal hunting adventures both you ladies go on. I enjoy seeing the crystals you find, plus I adore the scenery too. Crystal and fossil hunting is what I also enjoy doing in my spare time, it's really great seeing other people out fossicking 😊

[@rubyjones679]

I hope you are ok Alex and that that little goat found some water 🥰

[@johnnabuzby6103]

Alex, thank goodness you're safe after the tumble down the hillside. I hope your scrapes and bruises are healing well. I loved the slag glass you were finding; I don't know why, but I was getting Art Deco vibes from the colors of that slag glass. It looked almost like it was milkglass. The deep purple fluorite crystals are so pretty, they remind me of my son Andrew's amethyst birthstone. Gail, that gemstone with the dimples on is the rare Saint Andrew's golfballus Scotlandia crystal. 😆 😆 Greetings from eastern North Carolina! 😀

[@alisonlyons4691]

I didnt want this one to end. Great finds. Slipping and sliding, the only way to go when in search of your goal. Thats me when im looking for the best composition for a photograph 😂 im glad it was only scratches, and l hope minor bruise. Thanks till next time.......Alioban xx

[@jeaniekilroy2230]

Truly breathtaking scenery, awe inspiring. Such gorgeous finds. Oh by the way that's a golf ball that you found. 😂 Great video ladies. Much love 😘😘

That was a scary spill Alex!!! Great rock hounding. Pretty crystals. 🌻

[@therineclick8130]

Love to watch your videos, I'm 75years old now and I've learned so much I'm so glad your ok, Alex.i held my breathe and ive prayed for you !!! Watching you from Seattle Washington state USA!!!! Oh how i would love to be in Scotland !!!! I'm an amputee and pretty much home bound. Thank you both for expanding my horizons,and allowing me to go with you !!! God bless you both !!! Have you heard about thr Rapture of the church ?? Its in the New Testament in the book of Thessalonians Chaper 4 but you must be born again to go..... Believe that Jesus is real,that he loves you, and ask Him to forgive your sins, the Bible says we are all sinners,ask Jesus to come into your heart and He will and you are born again spiritually!!!! When the Rapture happens and it will you will not have to suffer thru the seven years of tribulation coming on the earth !!!! May the goog LORD JESUS bless you both always !!!! Cathy..........

[@clarefoskett9959]

Lovely crystals. Be careful ❤

[@maggiemaymightnot]

Beautiful singing again Alex one of my fave songs.

[@joanneowen4540]

Quite a magical landscape of crystals and flowers..i have always seen rocks and crystals at shows and shops, but it so amazing watching them being found "in the wild"..sorry to see you hurt, but I would have taken that slide downhill too! Hope it heals up quickly..at least you will have crystals to admire when you get home..fabulous photography as always

[@Carolbearce]

Beautiful crystals found on this adventure. The flowers are amazing also. Thank you for telling us what they were.

[@sandylee9564]

I'm loving your white dimpled orb that you found, how lovely is that? "Perfect, beautiful, gorgeous, amazing": now tell us you how really feel...LOL

[@valsummers5330]

You had some amazing finds Love the sparkly stuff

[@linzertube]

Holy smokes, that was a scary slip, Alex!😮. You often seem to be on slopey hills when searching for crystals. But, today’s was a doozy! Quite steep, dry, crumbly and sharp… I hope you’ll be able to find in the future, some climbing equipment to tie off with, for hillsides (or mountains) such as this. ⛰️🐐🧗‍♀️

[@joni--bologna]

Always smiles watching your videos but Thanks for the laugh Gail, with the golf ball.

[@KarlGillcrist]

Wow I thought i was falling with you Alex awesome filming during extreme conditions thankfully you weren't hurt worse.Those small crystals are amazing happy hunting ladies looking forward to the next adventure stay safe Karl

[@kathymarine1164]

Beautiful scenery...heartstopping slide by Alex down the hill, and even a golfball find. You ladies certainly deliver a beautiful video.

[@willvinson01]

Alex, I'm sure no one would mind if you put the camera down whilst doing mountain goat impressions..! Your adventures never fail to bring a smile. Such infectious enthusiasm..

[@helgavoorneveld1530]

[@dthomp06]

Beautiful finds! I love the natural shape of crystals. Nature is amazing! Great rendition of “Scarborough Fair”. Who are the artists? I’d like to purchase a copy of it. Thanks. Keep cool! Lol

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Lady Gail At 6.15 min you asked what the round, white object you found might be. I think it's an old albino cannon ball from a small type of cannon that was usually mounted on a sailing ship's railing. Or maybe it's white because it came from a ghost ship!? 👻 😁 ;-) Best regards, luck and especially health to both of you.

[@jamesrawson6659]

Watching this just now. Thank heaven you are okay Alex. Thankfully it wasn't any worse than it was . Back to getting your stuff. You should be fully healed at the time I watch this. Thank you Gail and Alex for this vid

[@renitabarrientos7950]

Both offi you ladies found gorgeous crystals there a difference in the ones we find in the states, very cool fossils look like snails 🐌 wacth yours steps that a ways down the Alex be safe as aways beautiful countryside 💜 ^ great video & song 🎵

[@fairyacorn4854]

Love crystals especially lilacy mauve ones. Amethyst is my birthstone. Alex your a nsughty girl going in shorts to a place like that. I hope you were'nt badly hurt or bruised. I keep telling you two to stay safe. Beautiful photography as usual and the water, wow so deep a greeny blue, just wonderful.

[@teresahamilton7801]

i always enjoy going on a hike w/u in beautiful nature...seeing the beautiful crystals & flowers so nice. hope u healed quickly, Alex - that was a scary looking fall.

[@larkdavis6041]

Alex, I'm so very glad you're ok!!!! On another note, I would have had to find a way to take the branch fossil!❤

[@taleandclawrock2606]

Oh we didnt get to see the cleaned crystals 😪 And crafted glass? Maybe a future vid. Great finds. Need a fossil enthusiast collab at this spot! Wonder what those nodules were?

[@savannah5232]

Would love to see these all cleaned up! Awesome finds. Definitely amongst the fairies on this one

[@azogus67]

I just love watching your adventures and all your wonderful finds. I love rambling through where old garbage has been dumped for ages. I live in the USA in Georgia. Thank you for your your hard work on the videos.

[@deborahmccormick9543]

Glad y;ou are okay Alex. Beautiful finds and the landscape is spell binding. Some amazing plants and appreciate you telling us what the plants are

[@tracybeil9668]

A literal treasure hunt! Beautiful gems. I am green with envy😂 Alex I hope your injuries are slight! So scary!❤🇺🇲

[@susiegray8968]

Thank you for the wonderful video filled with great finds lots of natural beauty and one of my favorite songs..

[@kathleenpitt1981]

The white dimpled orb looks to be some type of fungi, common to rough areas as well as some golf courses. I appreciate the plant and bird names. And I’m very glad Alex was not hurt too badly. That looked very steep from the bottom!

[@SherryRoberts-4356]

I’m so happy you didn’t hurt yourself more than you did. When you didn’t make a sound after stopping I thought you had been knocked out. Than the Lord you were okay!

[@debbieschoop-wilson3612]

I loved that you added the names of all of the flowers. Alex you scared me when you slid down that hill!

[@renitawoods8121]

Indeed you've found a golf ball for, playing golf,, thank you for the lovely day together.

[@larkdavis6041]

Oh my goodness, 1st, I can't believe people say the crystals and such are fake, they've been cut. They need to do some research before they say such things. The song you played brought back such memories, I was raised listening to that song and many like it , Thank you!❤

[@carolekinsey7835]

Oh the scenery there is beautiful. I so loved to see all the beautiful wild flowers. So very pretty. The crystals were pretty especially the little ones, but those clusters of crystals were lovely too. I'd love to see what you make with those one day. Pretty please. 😊 x

[@janicecooper875]

Thanks girls, love to all.xx

[@kimbain4368]

Can't wait to see what you ladies come up with for these beautiful crystals. Aren't they wondrous? Thank you for taking us along on this adventure. The landscape is spectacular.

[@mrbarbelbarbello2332]

That's a good idea to name the plants and flowers. I imagine that fall was fairly painful and could have been a lot worse. Hope you do some of your 'makes' videos with the finds...please.
