Hello Ladies, The little "Paper clippy" looking things are industrial belt joining clips, used on old leather drive belts & small conveyor belts. Keep up the good work

I just love you girls and your adventurous spirit. I'm definitely a fan of your channel. Before I stumbled across your videos, I had never heard of mudlarkers. Now I wish I could be one. You've taught me and entertained me, and I thank you highly for that. Bless you from Hilton Head, South Carolina in the USA.

@northernerinnc3179 4 года назад

30:55 are the same open round objects -- are they chain mail? Absolutely amazing! I'm from North Carolina and so an "old" item for us would be what you would call Georgian, 1760's or so. To find mail---amazing!

Chain Mail is also worn whist cutting meats and fish so I’d guess it would most likely be from the fishing industry rather than armour. Nice to imagine though!

You two should be collecting all of the lead here where I live it brings $1.25 per pound at the scrap yard not only will you make some good money. But lead is absolutely horrible for our waterways

If the water isn't full of reactive chemicals, the lead is harmless. It isn't white or red lead paint.

@mctron22rd 4 года назад

You ladies need a garden wagon, it would help you a great deal, so you dont have to carry all your digging tools, classifiers and the heavy metals from one spot to another. You could also take as much metals as you could fit in the wagon. I have one that folds up in order to not take up to much space in your vehicle. Just a suggestion though! I really love to watch your videos. I wish I was there to!

@catherinewilliams3850 2 года назад

I've always wanted to go mudlarking, beach combing, fossil hunting etc but due to circumstances never had the chance. My soulmate of 21 years was a field archeologist, we both had a passion for history. Sadly he passed away suddenly in Feb 2021, watching your and other mudlarkers videos on RU-vid brings some happiness back into my life.

@NorthernMudlarks 2 года назад

So sorry, it must be a very difficult time for you. We both find that beachcombing and mudlarking is very meditative. I think it's because it's usually in a tranquil location - on the beach - in the woods - and you are so engrossed in what you're doing, nothing else (not even time) exists. We often feel as if we have walked through a time slip - what feels like an hour usually turns out to be three or more! It's very therapeutic. If you can, you should give it a try. Gail & Alex xx

@MyMiaArabella 2 года назад

Beautiful finds! And even more so polished up. The sound of that wind blowing against-through your window is so haunting sounding and is fitting as background noise for going through all of these long ago items cast off as garbage, but being given new life! The nails would make a cool cross pendant. If you look it up on Pinterest, you’ll see what I mean.

Super interesting watching you both explore, and celebrate each discovery with you! Wishing you both a sun shiny week🌞🌸🌼

@tygrahof9268 4 года назад

Don't know about England, but in America the old nails, the usually square ones were identified by the shape of the head. The shape of the nail heads were patented and you can sometimes know who made them. Interesting carpentry fact. "We have a bunch of things with holes in them..." LOL

Hey Gail and Alex, I love the amazing bits of history you both discover and share. My favorite so far is the eggate Alex spotted. I found a rock that looks as though it's a pickle, when it's wet. It's a frosty green when dry, Its been in my collection for almost 30 years. I'm not sure if I like it so much because of its characteristics or the time in my life it represents. I cherish those memory's, I'm sure you both build wonderful memory's together, that's worth more than anything you will ever find. I'm still keeping the cool stuff though😁

The tiny little dimple thing with the holes around it is the bottom of a popper! You stitch that on the opening and the male part would be stitched on the opposite seam - if you have anything with poppers you'll see they are little changed - we just don't look at them that close. Great haul! Very enjoyable.

Massachusetts is deep in history too. You can find all sorts of things on the beaches there, and you don't need a permit either. I went to Endicott college in the early 80's, (before they ruined it by making it co-ed), and found all sorts of neat things on Mingo Beach.
