Epic finds from a Victorian Hospital! 

Sore thighs, low tides New finds, wide eyes Strong breeze, green trees Little inks, phwar that stinks Pork pies, grey skies It can only be Mud Pies!!

When your brother said during his roundup, "It was GREAT!", he sounded just like you, Andy. Josie, I love your tiny flagon. So cute! You'll have to share it with us again after you make it a new handle.

I think the mystery item that Camille found is a sugar cone mold. It was lovely to have both Graham and Camille included in your adventure!

How perfect to include a wrap up with your brother I love this.

Nice to meet the family, Squelch Masters. What great finds. Love watching you two. Cheers me up.

Thank you Josie for the pub flask, that was very thoughtful of you I love it. Once I finish decorating my living room and make a display for all your superb bottle finds I will show you a picture of it. Dave.

Great video as usual some lovely finds. Lovely to see your brother and his daughter enjoying the lark. Thats them hooked lol.ive dug a few of of the clear poisions lovely find. But my favourite was the miniture flagon.thanks for the hard work that we know goes into making these video thank you.

The four of you must have constitutions of steel to brave that weather!! Some really interesting finds. Hope you went home and had something warm and bracing.

So obviously Mudlarking runs in the family blood, well done Graham and Camille! One, you both conquered the pattons (?sp) and two your first finds included a beautiful acorn pipe and stoneware! How fun! Have a wonderful week Mudpies Family! Great hunt!

The emerald green bottle next to Josie is beautiful. I look forward to seeing Andy’s brother and niece out with you again.

I love the variety. My favorites are hexagonal or octagonal shaped this round. It was funny watching some other folks get muddied into their work. Happy 2024 ! Best wishes from Montana.

hoi hoi mudpies, nice search in beautiful weather. I love the stoneware the big bottle is so nice😮. fun to see your brother is loving the action. Great history on the bottle thanks greetings Pieter

Some great find mud skiers especially liked the pottery bottle and the tiny pot. Great to see family with you lots of love to Jaffa who’s eyes are lovely and bright

What a fun adventure with family!Great finds!

Great day of sloshing to the finds! 😍 Some nice ones, even for the family’s beginners! You didn’t mention in the roundup, that green one in the middle (broken neck)or the olive green one. Liked those! My favs were the hospital one, Josie’s mini & the acorn pipe. 👏🏻👏🏻for all!❤

Some lovely finds and great that two more mudpies joined your hunt. I hope they come out with you again. It’s lovely to see peoples faces on their first finds.

Great fun. Muddy new year ❤

It looks like you’ve created a monster…lol. Beautiful finds for all of you. Have fun!

Fantastic lark! Fabulous finds and great resurch on history. Keep squelching. Dave & Ali . Yorkshire way.

Amazing finds and great to see you out with added family members.

Some top finds in the mud lets hope the weather gets better soon thanks for a great video guys....

What wet weather you guys had ! A right load of mucky pups. It was awesome to see you sharing your adventures out on the mud with Graham and Camille , ( I hope I've spelt that correctly ) . You all had some lovely finds, but my favourite is the North London Hospital Consumption bottle, it's a belter. Thanks guys for another superb treasure hunt...... Oh ! P.S. Josie, my Daughter LOVES the book of your photographs that was in her Christmas stocking , she was delighted with it and appreciated the effort you put into producing the collection , CHEERS, see you in the next adventure.

Great video, grand finds! The hospital bottle a gem! So great that your brother Graham decided to join and his daughter how special is that! I think he’s got a great collection started! All the best to you all….love the history couldn’t say for finds here in California…. your history is amazing….thank you for sharing your journey 🌼

I’m very intrigued by Graham’s bottle find that has the very deep pontil at the base. Part of my family’s bottle dump (Pennsylvania stone house dating to late 1700’s) finds included at least 8 intact bottles that nearly identical to Graham’s bottle. While I wouldn’t know if the bottles’ lovely green colors were identical due to the late sixties, early seventies dump digging time frame, the only other difference I can detect is that the bottles we found were a bit larger than Graham’s. The wonderful Englishwoman who had lived across the road from us for many decades, told us of a very fancy wedding that took place at our house that may have taken place in the very early 1900’s, and she believed that the bottles we found dated back to that occasion. She also believed that they had held French champagne in them; that the particular bottle shape was of French origin. Our neighbor was a wealth of information, always, and she was like a grandmother to me, although both of my grandmothers were living at that time. She loved that my mother and I were both Anglophiles, and that we both loved history, antiquing and bottle dump digging. I miss her. Thank you for your videos; I’ve enjoyed all of them!

Enjoyed the video and the family. I'm your super fan!!

some awesome finds mudpies hello Graham and Camille lovely to meet you

Great video folks. My favourites were the mini flagon & the hospital bottle - nice to hear that history! I live not far from Epsom & we had an old 'hospital cluster' there which has featured in plenty of local history too

No thugs in our house, are there dear? Welcome to the party, Graham!!

The acorn pipe was a great find! Well done to Graham and Camille for staying mainly upright!

The funnel could be a pie funnel.

Thanks for a great vid! so good to see you guys all muddy again! lol

Great to see your brother and niece out on a squelching adventure and always happy to see the two of you doing what you do best !! Lovely belters this time and a clear poison, epic 🤩Can't wait for the next muddy episode. Happy New Year, hope it's great one 😊 Much love and hugs 🥰🥰 xx

I loved that you had a family outing!

Love you guys so much! xxoxox

Love watching your videos and love the fact we find the same bottles❤keep up the hard work

Over the whole existance of human historical memory has the sun ever shone its warm rays on that dreary depressing continent?... ❤ from Australia.

Camille, pretty girl with a pretty name. Hello to Graham aswell. Grwat to see you all enjoying your time together.

Thanks for sharing your good times!

also, “an interesting find, at least for us Brits…” I literally found a .22 spent shell under the stove of the house we just bought in Ithaca NY and kept it for crafts 😅

Nice to meet some of your family and Graham seems to have the round up patter down already - will his own RU-vid channel be next???

Your family did well out in the mud. Unless you didn't show them falling. Nice video. Thanks.

Glad to finally see you back on the mud. Great finds, that big stoneware bottle is quite unusual, can't wait to have some feedback about it. Happy new year 🎉

When did you hit 20k? Well done 🎉

Back in the mud leys gooooooo

15:25 Question - was that bottle you found made from stoneware or milk glass?

Quick history lesson rubbish from London transported by sailing barge to brick Fields which consisted of mainly household ash glass and stoneware very little was used in brick making process the majority of rubbish was used to infill the pits that the clay had been extracted from re caped with clay soil you. can just make out the hard that ran out to see where the barges would tie up alongside this had a small gauge railway line to transport bricks and rubbish to and fro the bottles found out further out to sea come from discharges of barges that never made it to land caught out by the receeding tide they would tip the rubbish overboard as it had no value they would then come ashore to pick up the bricks on the next tide. the barges were paid a small amount to take the rubbish from london but the main pay was transportation of bricks to the buiding trade you will find rough stuff clumps as we called them dotted ofshore covered with seaweed these discharges were untouched by bottle diggers i spent years on my boat digging them at low water and recovered over a thousand pot lids over a forty year period also found crashed spitfire wreckage and V2 rocket impact site i think your best find so far has to be the round chandler's cottage ink about £3k in mint condition damn i missed that one good hunting at harry Hailstow !

❤

The orange Brain is a sponge

❤😮❤ where do you sell your discoveries

Oops. Instagram picture I thought it was Momma Mud.😅

They called tb consumption because it literally consumed the body and you lost so much weight and withered away to nothing

💖👍😎

Oye

Happy New Year to you!! Great seeing your brother and niece join in!! Looking forward to seeing more videos in 2024!! ❤

Happy New Year to you Mudpies. A great video to start the new year off with. Some awesome finds y'all found. Have a good New Year and Peace Mud squad.

Bad weather but great finds...the stoneware bottle is quite unique I've never seen any other mudlark's find one...the small one Josie found will be amazing once repaired ...I couldn't help but think how puzzled future scientist would be if your tracks in the mud were frozen in time like the dinosaur tracks in the sandstone here in eastern Canada.. looking forward to your next mud-venture Karl from eastern Canada

Cracking good find! That acorn pipe is tops! The cone like object (did I give it away?! A sugar cone shaper? I've never seen a glazed one, tho'.

Lovely yo see you taking family out on your Larking , great finds guys ❤❤❤❤

The lovely large stoneware bottle reminds me of the Plynine ammonia bottles, but minus the print. Extra great finds this week! It's funny how similar you two brothers are 😂

Happy new year hope you both had a great Christmas and new year looking forward to watching your video

Great way to treat the family what fun and if they survived a day like that i bet they will be hooked ,good finds too opaque bottle very odd ,fantastic start to 24.

Wonderful Lark, having such agile family with good eyes along just adds to the fun. Thanks so much.

Lovely finds, the hospital bottle is a beauty! It's good to meet the family, Graham seems to have caught the mudlarking bug lol! 😀💖x

Ahhh I LOVE the Mudpies so much ❤❤❤

Lovely lark. Great seeing the family together. Thank you and cheers.

A nice family adventure! Nice finds!

Fun to meet your extended fam, glad they enjoyed being out in the mud and will go back with you in the future! 😻

A beautiful English day to be out mudlarking! Glad you got some great finds to make up for it. Some great pipeage and stoneware especially the tiny jug. Oi..oi from Oz! ❤☺️

Really Really Brilliant 💥💥loved having the crew expand !!!!! Keep it going 🔥🔥🇬🇧🇺🇸

Brilliant lark. I really enjoy your trips out on the mud flats. Lovely to see your Fam joining you too. Loved the acorn pipe and the tiny stoneware that Josie found. Well done, Jacs

Wasn't Consumption the word used for Tuberculosis? My Gran used to talk about her Uncle Fred who died from that horrible disease, my Mum was a Nurse and she told me that Consumption was TB. Some of the remedies were nearly as harmful as the disease itself. It is so cool that you all made a family trip in the squelch zone. Well done, & Happy New Year!!

My grandmother had consumption (TB) and went to a sanatorium in Ohio (USA) in the 1900's before the flu pandemic of 1918. She was there for months and months, but did recover. And of course that was before Fleming discovered the penicillin mold in 1928 in London. Wonder how old your consumption bottle is? Wonder if that hospital was near to the St. Mary's Hospital where Fleming practiced?

What a team you four make! Great fun to watch and some total belters 👍👌😍 I really liked the big stone-wear bot and the consumption bot but I do admit to enjoying a pipe or two! 😁 can't wait for the next one guys!

Hi mud sqwelchers,happy new year to both and family. Love the finds guys,i look forward to watching ur videos. One day we gonna see one of you either face planting or on ya arses and covered in mud. When that happens make sure the camera is on.... And send to you been framed... Easy £250.00 smackeroos.

IF I lived in England, I would so be a mudlarker!! Metal detection doesn't hold a candle to what these people are finding! As it is, I have to settle for the things I find along the banks of the Ohio River after a flood....I live quite near Anderson Flats and a nice shallow 'beach'. Mostly I have some beautiful pieces of driftwood, a few bottles, and lots of beautiful 'sea glass'.

Who was the hoot whe spelt REMNANT as REMENENT? Good spot the deliberate mistake!!!! Blessings to you all for 2024.xxxxxx

If you aren't sure about the pipes, contact Nicole White from London. She has a book and a lot of pipe knowledge. She's on RU-vid, also. Great finds! Loved that your brother and niece came along. I think they had fun.

Mudlarking with family, awesome 👌😊 looks like you all had a great time despite the weather and you all came away with some epic finds ❤ love it. Thank you for sharing your wonderful video 😊😊

Enjoyed seeing you guys back in the mud. Excellent finds that compensated for the wet weather, the two stoneware items were beauties as was that well decorated pipe. That section of the mud flats warrants another visit, soon. Thanks guys.

Love meeting the family 🤗 Graham's acorn pipe is really nice I'm enjoying the saet swap for round up 😊 Happy New Year 🎉

What an absolute BLAST you had with your uncle & cousin, despite the weather. Two belters stand out, the mini flagon and the North London Hospital As far as adding a handle to the mini flagon, you should contact Willie, Dirty secrets of Scotland, Living the Skye Life. He has repaired a number of pieces of stoneware and does an excellent job. A Super Fun video to watch. Many thanks for a wonderful ride!!😁👍🚴🥐🍵

Dirty Secrets of Scotland fixes his stoneware finds for his display all the time! Well before they moved to Skye… perhaps his process will give you some ideas!

Thank you so much for the adventure and love seeing Graham and Camille's first finds..I'm excited for them and sure they will catch the treasure hunters bug!! 💙

This is awesome. Downside to living in Southern California is it’s relatively young and I have to go to Northern California to bottle dig or hunt for relics

Would those ships have been prison hulks in the 1800’s (cf Dickens’ ‘Great Expectations’)?

WayHay that was fun xx Loved seeing your family xx Greetings from Amsterdam xx

Over time there were a number of names given to the disease tuberculosis. And during the Victorian era it was called consumption.

Great finds. Looks like y'all had lots of fun.❤❤

Amazing video love seeing everyone and the finds are awesome 😊❤

Could the big stoneware bottle held ginger beer? You all did very well. In was nice to meet more Family. Muddy good reunion!

This was fun to watch. Lovely to see some other members of the family get into the mud experience. Nice finds as always and I love the miniature. The consumption bottle is a great find and a keeper. Till next time.

What a great lark. I love anything medical so the TB bottle is my favourite. A real museum piece.

Hello Andy and Josie, you Squelch LEGENDS! Welcome Uncle Graham and Camille🎉😊❤ I love the various span of timelines of the amazing artifacts you find (secretly, I hope for Roman finds or anything ancient). 8:00 Seeing the 🧠coral was cool! Beautiful finds, as always! I love the history and images. The round up at the end with you two is almost as fun as watching you slog through thick layers of mud.😅 It reminds me of when I was eight years old: The first showing of Star Wars had come out in a theater near us (that should tell you how old I am), so me and my brothers and sisters went to see it (well, my sisters wanted to see it and had to drag my brother and I along lol). We had to walk through a huge field which was pure mud- at least 6” deep the whole time. I lost my shoe halfway there and had to be carried until we got to Mc Donald’s, where I was promptly hosed off in the sink.😂 I’m pretty sure I watched the movie with only one shoe. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labors with us. Much love to you! ❤😊 PS, I forgot to mention last time that your new sweatshirt colors are great! I’m going to stop by your Etsy shop in February and see if I can pick out some birthday items for my loved ones. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got in there. Take care and God bless you👋🥰

Do your feet pads have some kind of spikes on their Bases ? Are there parts of the mud that are like quicksand ?

Great 1st mudlarking for them. If they liked it with that weather, then they will definitely be back for more. 😊

Man you guys in England have the best mudlarking finds.sanfrancisco bay are our only finds

Epic day

White stone bottle is a stout Also if you want to retain the opilizing or Patina soak in distilled water for a few weeks Regards Craig Finegan Australia

Consumption is TB Tuberculosis at least in the early 20th century they called it that here in the US.
