It is my birthday today and pretty lonely. You two beautiful ladies have given me a 40 min. party. Us old women seem to get thrown away....I wish I could wash up on a beach and be loved once again. Thank you so much❣
Sorry you are feeling low. Don’t know what is going on in your life but remember to look for the little things. Sometimes it helps just to smell a flower or watch a squirrel’s antics. Hope things start being better for you soon. ❤
I think the pieces of a measuring tape are actually from one length of a folding measuring stick; it would have at least three lengths that folded over each other. Many later ones were made of wood with metal ends. They measure in inches and feet on one side, centimeters and meters on the other.
That turned into a nice larkwith unusual finds.The slate sharpening stone would have had a wooden surround my dad had one to put an edge on his chisels and knives.
I loved that blob hunting. What hides within. A surprise hopefully. What a neat badge you found too. That cleaned up beautifully. Your collection of badges is really great. An interesting bit of history too Fleur. Who would guess a little button could give so much. Xxx
Even without outside air, fungi, bacteria worms and such, a body will still decompose due to the internal and external bacteria and fungi naturally present on our bodies 😊
What a fun mystery lark! Military badges are always poingant for some reason. Thank you for your laughter and photography...and just being you! Love you so much!
Rubies and their sister stones sapphires are second in hardness only to diamonds, so they wouldn't get scuffed up like that pretty red teardrop your mum found Kate. I loved the Royal Fusilliers cap badge you found, Fleur. You always find at least several interesting things wherever you go larking. I enjoy your channels. Hi from North Carolina ☺️.
Hello Kate and Fleur, great video, lovely to see all your badges again. The button history was interesting. Apparently Postal orders are still available from the post office. Best Wishes from Yorkshire 😊
Just realised I've been watching you two for a year now ... still so enjoyable. Perhaps the small 'yards and metres' ruler was for architecture or engineering where scale drawings are needed?
I have the exact same metal thing for locking my sash windows. it has about three inches of threaded metal coming out of it that screws into a thread on the other window.
I read somewhere about last names being related to whatever skill or profession someone was in. Smith's were called ironsmiths, metalsmiths etc. Idk for sure....❤
Lump larking you’re both hilarious! Hello ladies having a wonderful time watching your adventure.the ocean is so relaxing. Love the cabachon and the turquoise colored lump
Such a interesting Lark! I am curious, the badge has the same symbol on it as a rose farthing! Rubies and garnets do get scratched! Your slat piece s a type of sharpener from what I see. There is so any small things to find on the shore!
Great video. Love the finds. A tip in diamonds. Because I found one with a chip. Yes, a diamonds can chip, even though they are one of the hardest substances on earth. Chipping is more common in jewelry that is worn frequently or that is designed for high impact, such as rings and bracelets. Chips can occur when the diamond's girdle (edge) or point hits something hard, or if the diamond is struck at the right angle with enough force. SO CHECK IT OUT, BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IF YOU HAVE A TRUE DIAMOND OR NOT UNTIL YOU HAVE IT APPRAISED 😊
It is just one of the things I have interest in, (along with mudlarking) and a coffin with an airtight seal (some in the US were called a fisk coffin and had a window (of all things!) and the bodies they held were remarkedly well preserved. Look it up , it is very interesting!
Decomposees, decomposi? Interesting someone will know! Cap badge was magnificent as was the little thumb winder - thank you for sharing your adventures xx
Kate, I think your metal rectangle might be a mail slot flap, or at least a part of one. It looks an awful lot like the one on my childhood home. The whetstone/slate might be for grinding ink.
thank you ladies. it is always a good day for me when you got mudlarking. i wish there was a chance here to do the same but we would be lucky to get stuff that is pre 1920
You both call it lump larking, but would it actually be concretion larking? I do like your version better, but I’m always getting corrected. I used to call it blob hunting 😂 😂😂 Great treasure finds love the badges. Everything is lovely and interesting! Have a wonderful week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
I think the slate think is a Japanese ink mixer. Where you put some ink powder/ paste and some water on it and mix it to a smooth loose ijk for Japanese painting.
You all found lot wonderfull video and thanks for sharing it with us. So much history. Your friend shirley from new Bern, north carolina u.s.a. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😮🎉🎉😅😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I know you may not reply but I would love to know what camera you use. Such good quality on your videos. Been mudlarking for over 10 years now and your videos bring me lots of joy.
The air-tight coffin thing is weird. Perhaps they thought it would preserve the body, but I bet a good bit of decomposition would still occur. There would be lots of microbes, including decomposers, on and in the body, and there would be a reasonable amount of air in the coffin for the decomposers to use unless the morticians removed the air and created a vacuum inside!
According to the Federal Trade Commission's Funeral Rule, caskets described as "gasketed," "protective" or "sealer" caskets are designed to protect the casket, not the body, and are features that are never required by law. In fact, a casket that is hermetically sealed increases the rate of body decomposition
The tactile unknown object - to me it looks like a key you turn to loosen the arm to open a window. Not sure how else to articulate, but I'm so sure that's what it is, because I had these types of windows.
