What Did We Catch? Fishing For Finds on the Foreshore! (Mudlarking & Treasure Hunting)

[@davidtuck4256]

Was me and alan that left the bottle and back of pocket watch, and tiny foot, thought you would like them 😀😀

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Ah thanks guys! Love the colour of that bottle ☺️

The koi fish is a symbol of luck, ambition, and perseverance. For centuries it has been seen as a sign of luck, abundance, and perseverance in both Japan and China.

[@SandraTomey]

Can't wait to see what the koi fish brings them in 2024!😮🎉

As a child in 50's Australia, we played "fives" with real knuckle bones. They were saved from the Sunday roast lamb dinner. I don't remember seeing the plastic copies until the late 60's. Our toys were very simple in the 50s, skipping ropes, old tins to make 'telephones' and golden syrup tins which were pierced with holes, strings added and used as stilts and pieces of wool to make fun finger games like cat's cradle. Not a piece of plastic in sight!

[@malagastehlaate9923]

The little fishy is awesome! Imagine casting that in Silver... Oh that would make a delightful charm..

Hi girls! Sherry from the United States here! Loved your lark this week( actually love every lark). Lol My favorite find was the ghosty rock! What a sweet face . I liked the fishy too- Frank for his name maybe? I grew up with whoooy windows, every time hear yours , I just smile so big! ❤️Makes my heart happy and I hope you never change them! Take care

[@kestraavalon]

It’s the ol’ cannon ball in the banana bag trick…classic. Loved that old bottle. Possible a Sturgeon or a Coy fish?

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Haha!

[@elizabethscruggs1622]

I think the fish is a koi fish. They were very popular in I think Japanese culture. They are status symbols and some of them can cost thousands of dollars for one fish. Most of the ones in the USA are inexpensive compared to the ones in Japan. My parents had a beautiful pond in their backyard with two of them. They get huge but won't outgrow their pond. I love yalls channel. We don't have places like yours to hunt for treasures. We can only live the dream through your videos. Thank you for giving us that joy!! Take care. Elizabeth

[@lovedaybebe5881]

Aww could you cast the little fishy in copper ? It’s just the most precious find ❤

[@lorellstoneman74]

Oh! I can see you making casts off that perfect little fish...please share that process if you can.....so happy to see a new video....This is so relaxing to be back to nature, doing a play on the river bank, finding random treasures. So theraputic. I used to spend my time doing this stuff. Always felt gifted by the finds....Love you two.

Hello ladies I have been meaning to tell you, I believe quit a few of the bigger, nicer beads you find are Neiger Brothers. I would think the fish is as well if it's glass. I am a vintage jewelry dealer in the USA and I collect Neiger Brothers jewelry. ❤ I love watching you ladies! I can't wait until Sundays when your videos come out. I would love to see a new crafting video when you have time to craft. Have a great week!

To me, the fish charm has a bit of a Native Alaskan vibe. Very cool find. I was glad to see you kept the beautiful drippy lip bottle. Lovely color.

Hello from Geneva Switerland! Alex et Gail, je regarde vos vidéos depuis environ 3 ans et je suis toujours émerveillée de vos trouvailles, de découvrir l'histoire de certains objets du quotidien des temps anciens, je fais moi-même un peu de détection avec mon appareil et j'adore chiner des objets anciens. Vos vidéos sont une détente à regarder pour moi, tout est parfait, le montage vidéo, le choix des musiques, la belle complicité entre mère et fille, votre savoir, la présentation toujours très belle des objets nettoyés et leur petite histoire parfois illustrée de photos anciennes découvertes dans vos recherches et j'adore comment vous intégrez depuis quelque temps la petite poupée frozen Charlotte dans la présentation des nouveaux objets découverts, c'est très charmant et drôle à la fois ☺ J'ai regardé d'autres chaînes de mudlarking mais c'est la vôtre qui me plait toujours le plus, je ne rate aucune de vos belles vidéos, merci Alex et Gail pour ces moments de partage et de détente avec vous.

I love that bottle!!! It's so beautiful! It actually reminds me a lot of a type of mineral water bottle that was very common in Sweden the first half of the 1900s or so. We have a bunch that we found at my grandmother's old house. They're all different shades of blue-green, with swing top stoppers. Fish name suggestion: Felicia! That was my immediate thought when Alex said it should have a female name. Very cute little friend.

Maybe the fish is a netsuke? Try using a clear glass mixing bowl to see in the water. That rock with the face on it reminds me of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. ❤

Thank you for your service garypeterson4483. I think the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam is outrageous. My husband passed over in 2006 a veteran of the Vietnam war. Agent Orange being the culprit that took him from us. Only the creator knows when your time is up. With the advances in medicine you just never really know. Much love and prayer.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

When I was a little kid in the 70s-80s we played the game of Jacks or knuckle bones for absolutely hours. We were in a rural area so WHENEVER we saw a knuckle bone on the ground, it would be scooped up. You need 5 for the game. They need to be different colours ideally. My friend’s older sister painted her bones with different colours of nail polish one summer. So we all did the same thing. Her mother wasn’t super happy about that 😂 I had one bone painted white with red spots 🙂 I was very proud of that jack 🤣 They made brightly coloured plastic sets available from the newsagents, they were shaped like small knuckles each a different bright colour. They were oookkkkk in a pinch, but it took some practice because they were so much lighter and smaller than the real bone. Good memories, good memories. I know that if I pulled out a set of “jacks” in front of my friend, we could just start a game immediately without hesitation. 😂❤ such fun.

[@marlastevenson6140]

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Oh interesting!

[@heidgandreiter8438]

@@NorthernMudlarks It is. The camera lens can act like a portal to the unconscious spiritual dimensions. As the Internet is a parallel alternative dimension, just as the afterlife, spirits can manifest on line using the energy of this huge electromagnetic global grid. In the spiritual dimensions time is flexible, fluid. Everything is connected at a spiritual level, and Nature is alive with spirit energy. Spirit helpers and the ancient Gods can communicate by the use of symbols or directly through EVP audio; they are powerful forces in Nature itself and must always be respected. EVP, Electronic Voice Phenomenon, spirit audio manifestations in electronic recordings or on radios/ghost boxes. Voices or human speech patterns happening in ambient sounds or noises. A well-known paranormal phenomenon. ITC, Instrumental Trans-dimensional Communication, images and symbols manifesting in abstract material; also a well-described parapsychological phenomenon, by rigid scientists considered an illusion, pareidolia or even madness - but to spiritual people a perfectly natural occurrence, appearing when spirits and Gods want to make a point. Our whole reality is not as stringently laid out, as we are taught to think. As an animist I know that everything, all objects, natural as well as man made, contain spiritual energy. That's ancient secret wisdom, 'witcha', but of course considered complete nonsense by science, despite the fact that phenomena within the field of quantum physics, like entanglement, represents similar 'magical thinking'. Should we fear the spirits, fear the paranormal? No, we just need to respect the ancestors, the spirits of Nature and the ancient Gods. I recommend studying the literature of Carl Jung, the Swiss professor of psychology who developed theories such as the archetype, the personal and collective unconscious and synchronicity. He in fact acknowledged parapsychology as being part of our reality.

The fish's scales made me think it could be a carp or koi. Lucky find for you, Alex. I liked the inner working of the pocket watch, Gail. It's almost unbelievable that you'd find the back that goes to one of your dominoes, along with a pin that you can use to fix it. Wow, what a stroke of luck that is! Thank you for weighting us down with the cannonball in the banana bag while we were out in the storm. I was thrilled that you took the interesting bubbly teal drippy-lippy beer bottle home with you. My Granny Nelson (born 1893) had a pump organ she kept in Mama & Daddy's house. I remember playing it (it was very out of tune) when I was a little girl back in the '70s.

Alex is on a roll with the little charms! Love the fish, and it's nice to see it all cleaned up, but it's lost it's lovely detail in the cleaning :( Sooooo, I hope you consider putting a rub of some kind/color on it, buffing it off so it just remains in the grooves of the pattern. I liked seeing the eyes, scales and mouth when you first washed it off after finding it. I laughed when Gail said 'Blub,blub' when showing it's funny face (at 46:58). Perhaps call it 'Blubby'

I'm glad you took that lovely teal coloured beer! Most of the beer bottles that shape with applied lips have a 4 digit mould number. The little ceramic fish is a lovely find too. Perhaps cast the two halves of the mould separately and remove material from each half to hollow them out and silver solder the halves together, it would make the silver cast less heavy?
