That grooved pebble is fascinating!

[@bonnerdebbie]

I am glad you braved the rain and found all these lovely treasures to share. Thanks for still hiding Charlotte on the finds table and for your stunning nature shots!!

[@LanMysPage]

I miss your jewelry making videos. 🙂 💖

[@dianalyman5950]

The coin with a hole in it, Jason from Modern History TV spoke about lead coins that were given to the working poor that the amount represented, ie; sovereign, could be spent at local food markets and the merchant would punch them indicating they were spent. 🤔. 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️

[@wendynordstrom3487]

That glass lid would make a great cookie stamp! So pretty!

[@kayesdigginit1519]

@@wendynordstrom3487 oh wow, you're right. A 🌟 design

[@Lawknee]

Even a butter press

[@phillipstacey2586]

Just a thought, the stone you found with the grooves in it, may have been used to sharpen knives, or even been to used to sharpen flint knives or arrowheads. Hence the V shape grooves.

[@kevinallen9009]

Agree. I have a large Native American collection and I think that is a sharpening stone, but could have other uses as well such as holding cordage . I have seen similar stones called sinew stones but those typically have smaller grooves. So I suspect it is a sharpening stone

[@raygregory3476]

This mum & daughter share such an incredibly beautiful relationship

[@reginagibson3847]

They certainly do. Its refreshing to see a respectful mother daughter relationship

[@cynthiat6505]

I love that you see all of nature as beautiful….at least there’s rainbows!!! I absolutely love your channels!

[@judyhowell7912]

Beautiful finds, ladies. I was fascinated by the school desk inks. Our desks in grade school had holes for the ink pots, but I didn't know what they were then. Thank you for the history lesson! 😘

[@deeannmcginnis2115]

I always enjoy watching you pick up treasures from the shore. Thank you for taking us along in the rain.

[@tonyaxeman4381]

It really makes my day when I see You two .

[@SherryRoberts-4356]

Awesome finds …super awesome ladies!

[@Paleoman52]

That stone appears to be a tally stone. Great video!

[@enduringhope6859]

I believe that serrated stone needs to be looked at by an archeologist.

[@munchkinheaven7877]

I remember using inkwells at school when I went into the senior school, that was in 1966, we were supplied with pens that were like a wooden stick with a metal nib on the end and we were given blotting paper too. We had to fill up our inkwells from a large bottle with a curled metal tube like a metal straw on the end. We were allowed to use fountain pens in the second year of the seniors, later we could use ball point pens that were issued by the school.

[@dthomp06]

Same here.

[@christinekeay8456]

I remember those pens in the late 50s/early 60s. If you got one with a damaged nib they were a nightmare to write with! I still remember my biology teacher’s comment “ what is this , a most untidy last page! “ Considering she had handed me the pen I thought this very unfair especially as she deducted 10 marks from my workbook, this was 60 years ago and you can tell it still rankles 🤣

[@fairyacorn4854]

Same here and the blotitng paper at our school was pink.

[@joycemarsh2743]

Love seeing your mudlarks and also the lost tower diaries can’t wait for Alex to start painting her bedroom ❤

[@lindastowars7346]

NICE FINDS, REALLY ENJOYED GOING ALONG WITH YOU GUYS

That stone with the grooves I it was a really cool find.

[@meems9884]

I love watching your videos. So entertaining and educational too!💜

[@dthomp06]

Loved the school desk ink pot. Took me back to my childhood in the 60s.

[@lumineria1]

Wow! Who would’ve thought the finds would be so amazing! Very neat finds! Love the ink well, the weight coin, and the pottery. Well done!🥰

Well worth getting wet for ladies, you both found some amazing and very interesting mudlarking treasures today, tfs x Julie

[@dannmccord1923]

So many beautiful finds. Just love them all. So neat❤❤❤❤

[@annieg246]

I think the tooth is a front tooth of a horse. Also the little oval shaped brass piece with a hole in it is a cover that goes over a keyhole. Love you ladies. ❤

[@collenemeeks5212]

That lid with the flower pattern on it will make a lovely cookie press. Just make some sugar cookies or other dough. Roll into balls, set on cookie sheet and press the flower side onto the dough. They would be beautiful.

[@mariedodds6307]

I'm hoping that you start a mudlarking museum at some point so we can come and view your treasures. Everything is so interesting. You could have a little tea room and gift shop where we could buy things made from your finds and see the shwoos and chickens.... just a thought... 😄

[@kevinkline6835]

They do sell things made from the finds. See links above. And the museum ( kinda ) is coming soon. Don't know about a Tea room at their home? Never know??? I'd enjoy it for sure. They have found some amazing tiny artifacts.

[@elenamarler5084]

To me, this is your best find yet!❤

[@janicehoughtelling5137]

Hello Ladies from Tennessee USA great mudlarking with you and some awesome finds take care and see you on the next video

Hello Alex and Gail. Do you remember the hard candy your Granny may have had? The ones that are one mass of 🍬 🍫 🍭 candy that are almost fused together? Well, that's what Alex's mass of beads reminds me of. Great haul after all.

[@francescalittle4414]

these videos bring brightness to my day! thank you!

[@jeanw4912]

Thank you so much for your videos! I truly treasure them !!!❤❤❤

[@anoniaciesluk3273]

The notched rock reminds me of the arrow shaft straightener the Indians used here in America .

[@jeanhafso4707]

I had the same thought!

[@beckyj1493]

Wonderful vlog. I think maybe the horse man was worn as a medallion. And it would be two hundred and twenty years old. Loved the adventure! The chain is lovely. I think the stone might have been used as a sharpening tool for arrows or knives or both. Sending hugs!

[@cherylswanson275]

This is Cheryl...so excited we are driving to Edinburgh on Wednesday or Thursday!

Hello 👋🏼 I enjoyed the history of the gems you both found. It was a wonderful lark you were picking up things left and right. I hope you have a fantastic Thursday and upcoming weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@kevinkline6835]

Cool finds. The Sterling pin may be a Graduation pin? And the chain is awesome. Of course everything is awesome. Thank you for sharing your adventure and many blessings from Colorado, USA.

[@conniem7341]

So glad you guys tenacity paid off! Thanks for another great video!

[@lisamoss5796]

Such good finds. The bead cluster would look lovely as a necklace pendant

I wish you would have kept the Royal Dalton makers mark. I always wanted a bracelet made of makers marks.

Hi you two adventurous ladies! Please get a second, professional opinion on that rock that has the grooves....it looks so man-made. Great job, great eyes!!!

Good Morning Ladies!!!! All the way from Australia 🇦🇺

[@justjoy4239]

Love a jam pot Gail! Not sure of the rock but it looks like it’s been worked 🤷‍♀️

[@debrabrooks6138]

The stone with the grooves is either native peoples or neolithic abrading stone. Awesome find! A friend in the U.S.A. Georgia, found one very similar by a native Indian tribe but is believed to be neolithic. Love all your finds!

[@chalmer31]

The cut pebble! ❤

[@christinekeay8456]

I love your collection of weights😍

[@kathleenschaubhut4174]

Interesting finds on a rainy day. To me, it looked like someone had tried to shape the stone into an animal with 4 feet and a face, perhaps a bear. It looks like it would make a good worry stone. A good day despite the rain.

[@donnaorton9547]

Yes, please do a school related display!

[@tessacoulson6854]

Interesting video as usual.

[@LaurenAnyone]

Would you guys be willing to do another Q&A at some point? I remember you did one a while back and it was very interesting 😊

Very interesting finds, ladies. Thank You for the vicarious thrills!

Am I seriously the 1st to comment? 😮 At 11:00 that's a chape for a shoe or knee buckle. My goodness ladies, you only had to find that one area of the shoreline and all of the very cool things were everywhere 😃 bravo on finding so many work things!!

When will you be doing another craft or jewellery making vlog?

You have teasels there! 15:00 We cut the spiny seed pods off, put them on hooks on the stem and spray them with shiny silver & gold paint. Make Great Christmas decorations and they last for years!

The stone tool looks like it would be handy for bone needles 😎✌🏼🤟🏼🖖🏼❤️❤️ it could happen

The little latch reminds me of the latches on my grandparent’s early Victorian home’s windows.

[@Laura-Kitty]

Take a piece of paper and a color crayon and make a rubbing of that lead disk to reveal the raised picture. It's the best way to get a clear image off of a flat object. 🖍📃

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

I still think that the rock you found is part of an ancient tool. I would just take it to someone who is an authority on this type of thing to see what they think. You found some very nice items today. Thanks for sharing!

[@elainebates6967]

The lead coin with hole, could be how a person puts a string through to carry money. It might be interesting to take to museum to check it. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter Forever!
