I think the side of the riverbed is the best place for you ladies to find the amazing treasures! So much to see and love the stories of the research about those items that you both find. Stay safe and well gals!
I attend a recovery group (recovery from anything -- substances, people, emotional issues) -- and we have used the story of Kintsugi to show that people who once were whole, and have been broken -- can be patched back together, and we can even be proud of the scars and repairs, and be stronger for going through it all. Great to see you recovering these great artifacts -- and not hiding the repairs in some cases, but showing the care you have for restoring broken things....
HI GUYS!! I LIKE THE MAY FLOWER PLATE YOU REPAIRED, LOVE THE GOLD YOU PUT ON THE CRACKS. THIS DESERVES A SPOT IN THE WINDOW OF WONDERS. ALWAYS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND LOVED HOW YOU REPAIRED THE PLATE. THANKS FOR SHARING AND STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY ❤️ 🙏❤️🙏
I think the chatelaine silver thing should go in the window of wonders this week. What a lovely lot of poison botles and some different ones too. Keep searching girls we all love your adventures and look forward to them every week. What would we do without you? Great finds. Keep them coming please?
Wow lots of wonderful variety of relics. The plate with the Gold Leaf turned out Beautifully. Liked the basket weave pipe and the black one that was unusual color. Love to hunt right along with you. Video is awesome.
I missed this video last year. So glad to have stumbled upon it this evening, as we are taking shelter from an oncoming tornado and I am glad fir the distraction..
Love love love that Gail found all the pieces of a broken plate! That's in my top 5 favorite Northern Mudlarks moments. And the repair that Alex did is stunning.
Alex you have one of the most amazing and beautiful eye for cinematography I have ever seen. That is what first drew me to continue watching your channel from the first time I saw one of your videos. I had never seen any mudlarking videos before yours and thanks to your creative and exquisite skills with a camera I am now not only addicted but enthralled by it. I have always dreamed of living the life you and your wonderful mother seem to live. In an old house in the country living simply and peacefully with your animals. I've never been out of the US and have always wished to go to the UK. I still hope to go one day and you both have reinvigorated my dream of one day being able to go. I recently found out I have distant relatives still living in Scotland and Ireland. So again thank you for all you do to keep everyone entertained. ❤️
Hi girls, this video had a wonderful array of goodies. At the end, l adored seeing all your cleaned up and repaired pieces. So nice to see them all glistening with the sunlight shining down and the backdrop all your wonderful wildflowers you planted. I was especially taken with the blue and white plate glued back together with the gold leaf. That one would be lovely in the window l think. Love to all and to Pussycat & the Schwoo (sounds like a storybook doesn't it?) Janice xxxx
I think that the chatelaine tool loop should go in the window, because I've never seen anyone else find one. I think its very interesting and unusual! Thanks for your videos!
The reconstructed plate.. its especially amazing as you found all the broken bits & looks fab with the golden over lay.. grand job Gail.. my choice for the window display.
🤔2hrs.ago?lol I had a feeling I'd see a new upload.💖&😯ya found all the pieces.wouldn't that lil flower china dish look lovely repaired with gold?😉👍😎 # congrats!🙂
It’s the chatelaine pieces for me, so much history surrounds them. They make such practical sense especially for crafters. I can think of lots of useful bits and pieces to carry with me, the bonus being never having to say “now where did I put that down?” Your lovely plate restoration was a very close second.
For me I can't decide between the chatelaine tools or the Mayflower plate for the window. Regardless, please display the plate to show off that respectful restoration! Thank you ladies.
Another great video! Such wonderful and fantastic finds. I have recently become fascinated with Kintsugi and particularly enjoyed watching Alex restore the plate. It has inspired me to try something similar. Please keep up the amazing content. ❤️from Texas, USA!
Hello Gale and Alex, I noticed something today. It is fascinating how certain manufacturers of medicinal's have their ways of attempting to keep their their customers loyal to their particular brand, Such as going out of the way for advertising to having it say on the bottling .... Trust our company to buy, it is the original and only genuine formula. Most of the time I just marvel at your luck and skill at finding things. xx I love blue glass.
I just love the both of you when you find something that makes you giggle and even the disappointment of a broken find. You have given me great pleasure in my year of 75 and now in my year of 76 I will continue to watch every thing you find and make . My choice would be the shoe that Gail made and the Cunard card and both poison bottles. I know that this is a late message but wouldn't it be nice to review your best finds of 2022 for me and others. Now that I'm 76 I am sure I will enjoy all your adventures all year long, thank you. Susann76 P.S. What ever happened to all those gold crystals that you found?
What a lovely look for us who are interested in old thing that would be lost for ever if it wasn't for people liking your self's. We all appreciate the attention to detail and dedication you all give too these wonderful adventures. Keep it up ladies. Love you all from Steven from South Elmsall/pontefract Castle Town..
Wow, you both had so many wonderful finds this week. Love the history behind some of them and those poison bottles are lovely. Sad it took so long to bring them into circulation. Thank you and maybe your silver tool set could go in the window
The beautiful plate. The Chatelaine was special. As a needle worker ( cross stitch, needle painting and satin work) I love the ability to keep my tools right on my person. So special.
What beautiful finds! Alex, you did a beautiful job on that Kintsugi not sure if my spelling is correct. I was lovely. I always enjoy your videos because you bring the camera so close it’s like I’m right there with you. Keep up your good work. You always give wonderful information on things you’ve found. I have learned so much on so many interesting people from our past. Lots of love from Diane in upstate New York. If you ever come to New York you are most welcome.
I really enjoyed this video, poison bottles are my favourites, and you guys struck a goldmine! That huge bottle blew me away when it was cleaned up, it looked so perfect and new, not like something that has been precariously existing in a rocky dump for decades.
What a great show with so many wonderful finds! Wonderful plate repair! I didn’t know that epoxy would act just like adhesive for the gold leaf? Great idea! By the way… another commenter posted a method of repairing a piece of glass or porcelain. I actually was aware of it, but museum conservators will seat the piece of porcelain in a bed of fine sand, this will stabilize the piece so you aren’t struggling to stick the pieces together without gravity fighting you. Then you can sit the first section on top of the area it is to be glued to. It won’t budge! There’s a RU-vid video from #Lakesidepottery that shows how it done. I saw this method demonstrated years ago on BBC show, I think it was the V&A doing this. But I don’t recall seeing the antique staple method? Now that’s something else! Complicated! As to my favorite finds? That’s like being asked which is your favorite child! But if I had to…. I’d say the Chatelaine, the Pixie head, there were so many wonderful things, I can’t remember them all. Congratulations on a fabulous haul and keep ‘em comin! Best wishes, Lauri
I absolutely love your videos especially when you and Mum recite the history of a find. The silver piece that was discovered to be part of a chatelaine was amazing. So very interesting. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Love the chatelaine piece! And the fact that you did not throw it in melting pot but took the time to discover what it was. It deserves a window spot ❤️
The dish with the kinsugi treatment is an absolute treasure. So beautiful. Preserving history in such a lovely artful way. Thank you for sharing with us.
Hi. I just wanted you to know that good ole elmers glue will do the same if not much much better than epoxy. I personally have glued 2 700 yr old olive jars with it, one in my yard, one inside for years. The best thing is that its non toxic
I've been waiting for you to try Kintsugi! Not bad for an epoxi version! As you do find items in pieces now and then it's a beautiful way of giving discarded items a second life and a beauty that tells the story of beimg found and repaired. The shards of pretty china are endless in the UK! I wonder if theres a way of making "patchwork china" with odd shards? I suppose one would need more of a putty type strong adhesive (as the breaks wouldn't match) to start out? Or perhaps one could pieve them together with tiffany technique, ie solder used for leadless stained glass pieces and then cover with gold or silver leaf? Imagine how many pretty fantasy plates, vases, dishes you might make using pretty pieces of pottery, china and colored glass?! The tiles or broken ones could make pretty hotplates/pot rests laying them as mosaics. That piece of silver chatelain is fantastic! 💕👌
Another wonderful video that I didn't want to end! What a haul! Thanks for all the research you do, I love hearing the history behind the finds. Also I would love to see the Pixie head cast as a pendant, it would look fabulous. 😀💗 x
I am so fascinated about your videos. 3 weeks ago i found this channel and watched all of them. Thank you for taking me with you on your adventures. Unfortunately there are not so nice bottles to be found here. But sea glas I've been collecting for many years. I look forward to more videos. Greetings from Germany!!🌹🌹
DO: Feed ducks cracked corn, oats, rice, birdseed, frozen peas, chopped lettuce, or sliced grapes. These foods are similar to natural foods ducks will forage for on their own. DON'T: Leave uneaten food lying around. Leftover food in the water can rot and cause deadly algae blooms that affect local wildlife.
The piece of breast pump is called a flange and we use plastic pieces exactly the same. The manual breast pumps of today aren’t much different at all. Very interesting.
