We Find VICTORIAN GOLD Mudlarking An Intriguing New Place + A Doll Craft!

This week we visit a new spot for mudlarking and we are rewarded with Victorian GOLD and other little jewels and treasures! It is exciting to explore a new spot with potential, so come with us and see what we find! There is also a little crafting involving the making of a new doll at the end (which may give you a clue to another find we make!)
We have started a patreon page for anyone wishing to support us.
We also have a Ko-fi account, so if you wanted to support us by buying us a metaphorical cup of coffee it would be greatly appreciated xx

The little guy you made was great! Love Sunny. Cats are so funny!. Love the watch chains and the gold button!

[@nicolepowell5470]

Loved listening to your cat purring into the Mike. They always think there being helpful which i just love

[@clairbaker3566]

Fleur, your strong man is amazing!!! I think you should call him Leo with his perculiar part lion pants on. Strong and courageous like a lion too! I'd absolutely love to see you two convert an old curiosity cabinet into a dolls house with all your tiny finds and crafting abilities - You could even have a hospital room for the spare parts and broken dolls waiting to be restored as homage to your family's doll hospital history... xxx

[@sticklebacksummer]

Good idea

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Funnily enough we are talking about extending our dolls house with some box rooms so a dolls hospital would be super cute! Thank you so much Clair :)

[@timefoolery]

I love it when Sunny’s feet appear and you can hear that magnificent purr 😂

[@janvafa9959]

Quick tip… don’t drop the acid to test for gold directly onto the item… get a tile so you can do a scratch test instead… you rub the item on the tile making a streak of the material on the tile then you put a drop of the acid on the streak… if the streak remains it is at least the carat the acid tests for … if the streak disappears then it is either a lower karat or not gold (or silver or whatever you are testing for).

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you for the tip :) :)

[@elvisperez7723]

I came for the gold and stayed for the sweetness of the family. The video was very relaxing.

[@denisepiekarski4159]

"Quite beautiful in it's lethalness" made me smile!

[@gaynor3976]

I find it amazing how you manage to craft a doll out of odd bits, it sure is a talent. You both found some lovely finds, so was well worth going back. Xx

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you so much Gaynor, I really did not know how he would turn out they sort of make them selves so to speak haha :)

[@YvonneWilson312]

Kate's gorgeous little teardrop stone is outstanding! Such a beautiful piece. When I was a child my grandfather had a lovely watch chain, it was solid silver and occasionally I got to play with it - it moved in a very silky-smooth sinuous kind of way and I loved it. Happy memories just from the words "watch chain". Actual gold though! Such a sweet little button, too! Yayyyyyy! I do like your wonderful creation of the 'new' strong-man doll, he looks amazing! What a wonderful episode, so relaxing and hugely enjoyable as always,

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Than you so much Yvonne :)

[@knighthart5068]

I love your reactions when find things, each time it's like being a kid again, I would be the same way

[@amandapittar9398]

Your doll looks like a baby Hercules. I love watching you make things. Cheers me no end. Congratulations on the gold though, very exciting. I would make it into a necklace and wear it. “Oh yes, I FOUND this, beachcombing. My eyesight is hawklike….” Please give Hercules a loincloth. He looks odd naked. A little lion skin? Fab video, as usual xxx🌸😊🌸😷🌸 from NZ

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

He was moulded with a loin cloth so his modesty is secured :) :)

[@vickinoeske1154]

Just found your channel. Who doesn't love a treasure hunt? The sea is so relaxing, just beautiful. Tfs❤🐚

[@jerrihanson3823]

Good job, you brought a little doll back to life.

[@larkdavis6041]

The sunset was breathtakingly beautiful!!!! I so love your dollhouse!!! It's so enchanting!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you Lark :)

[@grettagirl2884]

Fleur, you did an incredible 👏 job on that doll torso! Absolutely amazing 👏😍❤👌!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you so much Gretta :) x

[@rockreader4298]

Wow! Congrats on the Gold, Kate! I was enthralled with the variety of finds. Truly an Artist's beach. I would bring headlamps and stay late. Then a black light could be used, exposing even more. Good job on the repair of the tiny lion tamer, Fleur. Did the lion grab the missing boot and take off with it? I wonder .... : ) Would be Fun to find a tiny lion then fashion a boot of clay and somehow have the boot dangling from the mouth of the lion (by boot string?) Good for you on finding some ice cream money, Oscar! Yummy!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Hahaha that is a funny idea, need to find a lion now :) :)

[@anneminnick2491]

Hope you are able to spend much more time at that beach . So full of wonderful Victorian Treasures . Enjoyed this Mudlark with you all . It was a special treat . Anne Minnick , Massachusetts , USA . Carpe Diem .

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you so much Anne! :)

[@sandralane1923]

I love your stunning pics of the sea and the gorgeous sunset. I have missed your doll making. Bringing the wee parts together and making them into a whole person, is wonderful. I so love your channel

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you so much Sandra! We love making the dolls also :)

[@amnas69]

I think the knife handles are Aluminum which would have been an expensive material in the Victorian era. Great finds on the day. Congrats!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

I did not realise they had Aluminium back then very interesting, will have to look into that thank you :)

[@JonFrumTheFirst]

@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers There is a small (9 inch) aluminum pyramid on the very top of the Washington Monument in Washington D.C. that was put there to cap the obelisk in 1884. Aluminum was used because at the time it was so valuable. Separating the metal from the ore was very expensive at the time.

[@wildlifeathome]

I'm not sure what I like best, the finds or your excitement when one is found. Good luck and keep mudding!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you so much :)

[@elizabethmosley360]

The bottoms of bullets would make wonderful flower pots for your dollhouse garden. The bullets remind me of the fancy brass pots they sell in the expensive stores.

[@mariemoss2475]

Your doll looked like Keith Lemon 😂😂😂. Some fantastic finds and congratulations on finding Gold 👍💕💕💕💕

[@sandyruspoli4276]

I think Kate was a pirate in a past life! She finds all the gems and gold! LOL!! Congratulations on a beautiful find! I love the doll, Fleur! You really did a great job! The mushroom stone is so cute! You both found really awesome things! Wonderful video Lady's!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you Sandy :)

[@marshall517]

Great lark. Brawn, Brutus, Hercules, Hero, Max all good strong names. Finding gold was way cool.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

They are good strong names :) :)

Maximus

[@ALayne08]

Great combined finds, it would be boring if in every adventure, everyone found the same things. I love the glass rods and the addition to the doll family. Great video as always, take care and stay safe.

[@sallyatherton2231]

I enjoyed the video very much. And it was great watching the doll making. Neat.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

It was funny how we found completely different things :) :)

[@scottishmudlarking]

The agate teardrop might be from a lovely drop earring ( one with a round cabochon at the top ) and a screw clasp ! Stunning find!! Can't imagine the stopper was sea foam glass before it was burnt - could it have been a rare milk glass stopper? Def a fab beach to return to , so many body parts ;) xo

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Ahhh shame it is burnt then a milk glass stopper undamaged would be amazing! :)

[@sarjean]

“I love you too but I need to craft” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 That’s me when my dog tries to sit on my lap and I am crossstitching

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Sunny has a knack for getting in the way :) :)

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Thank you so much, he sort of made himself! They sort of evolve haha :)

Congratulations 🎉 Kate, on finding GOLD!! 🙌🏼 Fleur your talent is truly amazing. What you’re able to create out of bits and pieces is incredible!! 💕 I really like the watch chain too. Hope you go back to that beach soon. Thank you for sharing with us. Have a great week and keep well. 🥰

STRAIGHT RAZOR, Love seeing you both again wishing I was there with Y'all

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Do you think it is a razor? I had not thought of that! :)

[@roybal1975]

@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers yes dear being how thin it is. Try and get some of that rust off with type of rust remover.

[@Hairnicks]

Great new beach, lots of potential there. That collar stud was one of those finds you will never forget, a bit like the gold dance, incredible, never to be forgotten Kate, brilliant. Loved the watch chain and T link, I love waist coats and wear a pocket watch and chain, such a tactile delightful thing to have about the person, just hoping someone will ask you for the time so I can whip it out. The watch that is. Your pendant drop was a stunner. Loved Fleur's craft, dear little chap, nice to see Milliput being as brilliant as always, thanks to you I use it all the time now although I always make to much and use the excess to make hooks in my workshop to hang things on. Should the strong man maybe have the Victorian sideburns and 'tach, and a little weight? Another cracking mudlark from the worlds favourite mudlarkers.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

I did think about the side burns and tash but was worried I would paint them badly! I wear a lot of waistcoats too maybe I should fashion something with the chain with something other than a watch on the end (maybe a magnifying glass!!) :) :)

[@marykunselman284]

Oscar is growing up so fast

[@sandraadams4940]

I was thinking the same thing

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

I know I don`t like it haha :)

[@mudlarkingmarionette]

Gold is nice ; ) but I prefer your agate looking teardrop because although my grandfather was a jeweller and made beautiful things ; I am allergic to it ; one of the reasons I turned to seaglass; shells; fossils and agates etc in the first place haha. Love the doll and Mudpies if you haven't seen it yet got a Judy . It has that eerie ancient feel to it . Anyways see ya on the next one.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

We are a little jealous of the Mudpies doll it is amazing!!

What a Lovely Place. I do hope you all go back soon. The Beach is ever changing & depositing wonderful things. Such a Blessing to have so many giving places unlike America. I have been metal detecting and have found a few places with bits of china, pottery, & metal bits. Nothing like you all are blessed with. I think it's amazing what you all do with doll bits 💞 Kate WOW!! Nice Gold find!!

The knife looks like it is aluminum. It looks exactly like the drinking glasses my grandmother had. They were painted different colors but where it had worn off they looked just like the knife. Goodness I remember my grandmother having aluminum ice cube trays with dividers and you pulled a lever to move the dividers to break up the ice. Loved getting ice cold lemonade in those glasses.
