That 4lb jar would look great in the garden with a plant in it.

[@lolcatz88]

Yes! I thought it was lovely and nostalgic…

[@joellenmeek658]

The little pudding doll always makes me laugh.

[@margidaly6874]

The interludes of music and flora is so lovely some incredible finds again too. Love this video.

[@chalmer31]

I use glass jar lids to mix watercolor paints. I LOVE them because I can't knock them over.

[@kastah]

The art of nature is so so beautiful!!!! Love your pictures in between the findings.

[@Witchykaren.]

Knottingley is in Wakefield West Yorkshire . I was born in West Yorkshire. Love to all xx

[@PaulaSmith-vg9ez]

I'm in castleford, not too far from Knottingley. I found a vulcanite stopper today which said " littlewoods featherstone " which was exciting.

[@louiseallen9379]

Yes, there are chemical and glass works there

[@justjoy4239]

Just when I thought we wouldn’t get a lovely face and Gail found a sweet one!

[@karenpaxton]

Amazing women. Always fighters and beyond capable! Love the finds and the history.

[@MichaelD.-by5tn]

Finds Galore,including the kitchen sink....MAGICAL 🥹

[@joanneemerick5785]

Yes, I too love the pudding doll!! And I like the history you share from the words on the bottles. You ladies are wonderful:)

[@Muddylarks]

Lovely jubbly 😊

[@AnnakarinRyberg]

Love the big glas jar!!!!!!!!

[@superbellabeau]

You know you've been mudlarking a long time when so many cool things like pipes are left behind. Great fun mudlark as always. 😊

[@user-mf6wg9wo3y]

Jar lids look like coasters. I want that dog😊😊

[@mandycleezehappyhour4238]

What a cool slug @2:06

[@pambliss2391]

The birds are so pretty

[@geoWhite]

Hey from New York. Always a pleasure. Thank you.

[@teresapainter9645]

You should make Lilly a necklace with the little pink boot as pendant. Maybe it will inspire another generation to mudlark 😊

[@harrybond1485]

Hello Alex and Gail.Wonderful to see you in good spirits.Would you please show us how you clean bottles? Have a great day all.Cheers.😊

[@suewarnes9469]

Really interesting finds. Thank you Ladies!☺️💐💐🫶🏻

[@iancvisuals707]

I can’t believe Alex busted out the “Actress-Bishop” punchline 😂😂

[@ronaldgroves6350]

I nearly choked on my beer 😂😂😂

[@fairyacorn4854]

The big jar is really wonderful and I love the blue ink and the sample bottles. Can't wait to see the tiara you make.

[@susancousins8766]

Hello Gail & Alex, beautiful jar, tiny bottles, and all of the gems you have found. I love the little pudding doll man. He makes me laugh every time I see him. Awesome day ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@sadielevens1144]

Always a great day for a visit ❤

[@zarafa7]

Thanks for another great outing, ladies! You know what? I'd love to see some of the actual cleaning process. Keep up the good work!

[@LVS950]

The green cart with the shamrock wheel from Germany would have had a little pig pushing it and another inside it. I collect and love these piggy souvenirs!

[@ilonamollema6467]

What a beautiful hoard of items! I love the sample bottles. They are very cute. And that cobalt blue ink bottle is gorgeous!💙 It was quite heartbreaking that Alex left the dog statue on the tip. He was so cute, even with missing a part of his legs. Hopefully, someone will find him and take him home. Gail, thank you for the history lessons. I love them so much! I hope you both have a wonderful week! Saying hi from the Netherlands.🤗 🇳🇱

[@connie2558]

Also, the pipe with the king and queen. LOL but I'm a hoarder.

[@ilonamollema6467]

@@connie2558 Yes, that one too!!

[@Toon-Tony]

Thanks for sharing your adventures once again...fully enjoyed ladies 👌👌

[@jakethedude100]

Sat under a blanket with my doggo watching my fav mudlarks!

[@HLynnH]

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

Hey you two! So beautiful to see you enjoying together! Hugs from sothern Europe! Good luck and stay positive!

[@JosephineGray-oe8jt]

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO IT WAS FUN TO WATCH YOU FIND THINGS FROM HISTORY.KEEP THE VIDIOS COMING.

[@lorellstoneman74]

Oh! The small sink, could of been inserted into an outdoor potting bench. Love your finds and stories...thanks for sharing.

[@deborahroberts1300]

Amazing bit of history there. Gives you a bit of insight of the way people lived. And all from an old glass bottle found on the tip. You don't just dig up old treasures but you also dig up information and find out the history behind them. 🤔👍👋🦘

[@joellenmeek658]

The large glass jar lid would make a perfect wine bottle coaster.

[@user-ps9hb3nr4f]

Or a candle holder for a pillar candle.

[@sandralovegrove2805]

Interesting finds 🧚‍♀️roses seem to be doing well 🌹

[@gailmuir799]

Wonderful finds 👏 ❤️ love from Australia 😊

[@Andbygrace7024]

Im a Bowman so this was especially interesting. My great grandfather was also named James Bowman

[@ryro5401]

Love the blue ink 💙

[@maggie_oshea]

Wow! So many finds AND the kitchen sink 😂😂

[@charlotte0069]

Thank you Gail and Alex, everything and the kitchen sink. My favourite item is the beautiful jar, I wonder what was it repurposed to hold and now rehoused to serve purpose again🙂

[@cassandrapua5970]

Aloha Gail, Alex, Rachel, and Lily 😊❤

[@conniem7341]

Really amazing the beautiful flowers that grow in the dumps. Thanks for another great video!

[@lindabaldwin2568]

"Well , it looks as if i hit the send button too soon 😂 . I think my comment was going to say how much your videos bring joy to so many of us . Thank you both ."

[@christhompson4270]

Another great video, love how you film the flowers and berries. What an amazing assortment of finds with some knowledge thrown in. Take care and thank you for sharing your adventures 👍🙏❤️

[@bonnerdebbie]

Lots of great finds, thanks Ladies!

[@Karyn1000]

I loved your pun Alex, even though mum seemed not interested 😆🤣😆

[@Andrea-73]

Thanks ladies ❤

[@dannmccord1923]

Found so many cool finds. Love them all❤❤

[@juliederry3719]

What a relief that you found that huge knife Alex, it could have ended up in the wrong hands, so great finds in this video, my favourite pieces are those cute little bottles, tfs x Julie

[@MelissaMyers-wn6mi]

I love the pudding doll. The birds are beautiful.

[@amandapittar9398]

I never thought of a slug as beautiful until you filmed that big brown one at the start of your video. It looked like a little sculpture.

[@samcollage7682]

I personally love the frosty etched bottles. The ribbed one will be a lovely vase.

[@teeteepalooza]

“Edward of some kind” 😆 Yep that’s the legacy he was going for! 🤣😂

[@samcollage7682]

That snail or slug thing is so amazing.

[@EmbraceTheJourney]

always so nice seeing a couple of my favorite humans. Our blackberries are nice and ripe here in the State of Washington, they are delicious. Have a fantastic week and see ya next time. Tee

[@daviddarrall9384]

Nice finds. Well worth the effort! 😊 ❤ UK

[@joholly1951]

How I love your intro.

[@steventhomas4288]

Happy day's init. There's a Knottingley next too pontefract west Yorkshire..Happy blade's away. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@juliespade1573]

Such a great day, love all the finds. Thank you for the history. And especially love the way you caught the beautiful field. The machines all rusted up are a time machine.

[@mrbarbelbarbello2332]

The whistle is a mega-whistle. Glue the glass jar lids to Perspex sheets and paint them with glass paint. Use them as filters for bright sunlight and wash them clean when you're bored, then change the colours. That broken glass stopper looked really good.

[@AmyWilcox-xb3sb]

You said you needed a machete

[@sapphonymph8204]

The square blue ink bottle is beautiful!

[@esthermae8710]

I was very happy to hear you bring up the topic of cleaning your finds, as I have often wondered how you got them so pristine. I would be quite interested to learn how you do that.

[@alisebradley6706]

Nice finds ladies. I am always hopeful that you will find something that is on your list of something you thought you would never find. ❤ Enjoy your day,.

[@dennismccall9632]

Always cool finds with these lovely ladies!

[@LoriZabielski]

Large glass lid would look great incorporated in stain glass piece.

[@kaynefryday6637]

I love your videos , always interesting with a good sprinkle of education 👍

[@lorienray6216]

That big glass lid you can use like a raised stand to display small items or plant stand or flipping over for beads. Alex your photography is impeccable, well done video. Favourite find, cobalt blue ink bottle, German bottle stopper and that reddish glass Alex found. My Great Grandmother born in 1800’s from Ireland with four girls, divorced moved to Canada becoming a manager of a furrier factory

[@123uschie]

Thank you again for an enjoyable adventure.

[@deosoe1040]

I would take the billhook

[@RavenSoulcatcher]

Cool finds. When I see the broken animal figurines...if the have at least the upper chest and head, that it would cute to put them in a pot of flowers...like they are peeking from the garden. The machinery was cool. Would be interesting to see it restored as a museum piece.

[@Nicole-coliebrobro]

Love that giant jar with the ribs, looks very useful. Also that cobalt blue ink is gorgeous! You both clean everything so nicely, especially the metal bit, looks great.

[@bevyking6570]

Hi! I am shocked you left the doggie behind...awww

[@randomvintagefilm273]

02:11 How cool is that!? Like a work of art ❤

[@meganwatkins6631]

That little porcelain "army helmet" at 15:08 looks like the cover they used to put over the bolts that bolted the toilet to the floor in the old days. Now they are usually made of plastic.

[@littledogRonnie]

At 9:17 you said you needed a machete, and at 11:58 you found one. Great manifesting!

[@bizburgess1947]

We had an Aunt Jean Burgess. Ours was born in Canada shortly after John's mom dies. The family line goes back to England. Thank you for discovering this wonderful story.

[@ColleenHarriganStaver]

I love the recap at the end with the little doll playing hide and seek. So fun! Have you named her yet? It really has become one of my favorite things in your videos, how the little doll will be hiding and playing in your finds. 😊

[@carolekinsey7835]

Its always a pleasure yo come with you on your larking adventures Gail and Alex. You make where ever you go, look so beautiful. Getting up close to any nature or views that strike you while larking. The slug was one such example. How amazing were the creases and folds in its skin. It looked like a carving. Nature is amazing and beautiful. I don't like slugs so much, especially in the garden, but out in the wild that slug looked pretty amazing. You found some lovely little bottles. I like the little ones best too i must admit. I always love the histories you find out about the items you find. Always interesting snippets of peoples lives from the past. Bringing names to life after so long. The internet is amazing isn't it. Yikes that machete you found was grim pickings. I do hope you took it away with you. The thought if a youngster finding that, gave me goose bumps.😮 I'm off now to catch up on The Lost Tower Diaries. 😊 xx

[@suelarivee385]

Great finds

[@sandramajeau2829]

Nice finds

[@bettyrue5780]

Love Sundays, when you post a new video! I admire you both. You are so talented.

[@kennethboydsr3966]

Oh wow y’all had some great fines the Bill Hook siye who is a great fan that is a very handy tool for clearing brush it’s used in Asian countries to harvest lots of things like bananas, and other fruits, Gail, you looking amazing love your hair❤😊

[@connie2558]

Alex found a little mini mudlarker/treasure hunter in cute Lily.

[@jaynethurston823]

Gail, the large glass lid just might fit the ridge bottle that Alex found. 💜🇨🇦 Saskatoon Saskatchewan love your adventures!

[@naticongored]

תודה ❤❤❤

[@ediemarie2696]

Great finds 😊

[@leilanidewitt7442]

Your photography is fantastic ❤

[@Varulfen95]

Harlene for the hair?! That's so cool, I own an antique advertisement mirror from that brand! ❤

[@eringemini7091]

Nice Machete! You said you needed one!

[@chefron8]

You ladies should (if you haven't already) consider getting an ultrasonic parts washer. They are great for slowly and gently cleaning items such as nuts, bolts, springs, etc. One would work well on old coins and other metal items. All the best!

[@antoinettedaly1284]

I use the large glass lids as holders for pillar candles. They fit perfectly.🙂
