Mudlarking A `Petrifying` Poison Well! Our OLDEST Bottle Find Yet! Folk Lore + Myths 

Mother Nature being all cute with that little stick with a tiny mushroom on it.

When you think of all of the thousands of years of wars and turmoil, building and rebuilding that has gone on in your area, it's no wonder the earth holds so many layers of treasures. Through all of the heart aches those times produced, You are able to dig them up and present to us a world of knowledge and wonder. I think every time you pull up something that is un recognizable it could be 100s and 100s of years old and no one has touched it until you bring it back to life and make it usable again. What a great hobby. Thanks so much for bringing us along in your adventures. I know you two have lives outside of mudlarking, but I wish you could go back to sharing your videos 2 times a week. It seems so long in between your postings. You two spoiled us. I'm looking forward to each and every adventure or crafting you share with us. Thanks again for being such an inspiration.

Ahh Kate and her curated wardrobe - an idyllic lifestyle with no apparent need for 'adulting'. It's interesting to watch Kate and her wardrobe going in opposite directions as the years pass. Lovely bit of free fall 😊

How lovely to be a patreon and view the latest video the family have uploaded, come on you viewers, chuck a few quid a month to our lovely Fluer, Kate, Oscar and crew to allow them to do more of this and spread important messages. I do not for one moment regret becoming a patreon.

So glad I stayed to see the blimp! Awesome! Thank you Oscar!

I like the pork pie. But the best part is someone's new orange wellies.😁

When Kate said that paste pot was stinky, I knew exactly what she meant. As soon as she said it I could almost smell it. When I was a child, my grandmother had a stream below her house and my cousins and I would play in it and find old bottles as well. Whenever we would pull one out the liquid was always stinky. Haha!!

Kate may have started a new trend with her "pants ponytails". I love it!

nice finds ladies and i see you found one of my marbles that i lost many years ago, thats what the wife says :0) with the broken cod bottle the knight has armour on and one piece was on the right upper arm to stop him being hit in the neck or throat area so it might look like a baby it's not it's just the armour or a small shield with the knight's coat of arms :0) thank you for taking us and looking forward to the next one :0)

That looked like a mouthpiece for maybe a trumpet or some other brass instrument.

Knaresborough in Yorkshire has the same water, there is a small water fall there where people hang up random objects ie baby shoes or a glove. After a while they turn to stone and they get re collected... Its fascinating to see the objects change over time.

I loved this video . The area is breathtaking and beautiful . Facinating hardened mud coatings . The Folklore and History brought me joy as many of my ancestors come from Great Britain Areas . I'm of English , Irish , and Scottish Decent , mostly , but also of French , Basque , Native American , and African decent , as well as others . I Love Learning about my Ancestors History and Folklore . Thanks for sharing . Anne Minnick from Massachusetts , USA . Carpe Diem !

This was such a pleasant episode. The trees and water and birds singing. Very nice.

The metal piece looks like a mouthpiece to a trumpet. Thank you for another wonderful adventure.

Of course Kate is find by that gorgeous tiny mushroom. All of this was beautiful, the songs of birds and waters. I adored that you go back to fill that now cristal bottle. Beautiful orange wellies and tales. Also, you two talking to each other in harmony. Even Oscar grabbing that blimp... skylarker? Thank you as always for your sharing 💛

Unearthing that glass bottle from it muddy and hard exterior was so crazy. I love the glass bottle stoppers.

Oh my golly gosh and goodness,i simply adore each qnd every video you and your mother make,Nobody Comes anywhere near to being close in achieving the quality that you do,Golden accolades to you both 1000%

Soooo relaxing and soooo beautiful. What a lovely day for a mudlark 😁 loved all the treasures 🥰 thank you for sharing

Love the fairy lights in the oldest bottle! Magical mud lark, it was. 🧚

Absolutely great finds and Folklore , Myths

I always enjoy your finds, but enjoy the shots you take of wild life, and plants also. Right off I wondered about the poison well, loved the wonderful folk lore about it.

Feel like you set the things free that was covered in lime gunk.They look so much happier.

The tiny 🍄 was brilliant! The finds were amazing loved the revealed bottle 🙂

The petrification of your items made me think of the Roman baths at Bath. Very interesting stuff, even if it makes it harder to know what you've found.

I love that you guys aren’t afraid of getting your hands mucky:)

Stunning photography! You ladies have come so far. Thanks for bringing us along!

Entertaining as ever Kate and Fleur and very interesting finds. The woodland is magical and so beautiful, is it near your home? Fleur that sponge ware plate is indescribable, simplicity is hard to beat. Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Sue and Ian, Australia

The sheer beauty of your videos and choices of music always warms my heart 💜 Thanking you kindly ❤️

Your videos manage to be relaxing and exciting at the same time! What an accomplishment! I just love watching them!

I'm glad there's another TY watch later now🤗 💞 You got a great spot! What a great marble! It looks like another about a foot to the left.

Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with all of us who can't be there.

I loved this one. So much interesting information from things found in the water.

Wow.. Mighty bright wellies!!! How fun!!!

What a beautiful spot to hunt for treasures. Oscar is too adorable. Thanks

Wonderful video!! The doll in the newly found “chair” at the end made me smile!! 😃😃👍🏻👍🏻🤗

That marble was just sitting there waiting for you Kate!!

Love from the old lady in Texas USA God bless you❤ always and forever

Beautiful magical place thank you for taking us there. The mushrooms 🍄 were amazing!

I've been pretty grim this week and the rats have suddenly decided they won't take their medicine anymore (for varying ailments) 🤦‍♂️ Glad you two uploaded another video 😊 I love the pork pie ink and the old bottles! There is supposedly a petrifying well in my local woods at Dibbinsdale, but it is in private land and inaccessible. Lots of history in my area of Wirral, it's just a shame that the River Dibbin (that runs through Dibbinsdale) is full of modern litter and looks devoid of anything old 🤔 Hope You two and Oscar etc are all doing well in these crazy times! x

Thank you for another wonderful video! Such beautiful places you have there! So glad you are able to share them with us! ❤️

Wow! A location that inspires a fascination of mysterious wonderings. Kate, at 3: 19 you found a bead (And) a fossilized (Cheerio/cereal). :D I know .... I'm funny. Fleur, the squarish-bottomed (Gilbey?) bottle is a neat base. Clean it up, sand off sharp edges and it would display nicely on it's side. (But) If you don't want to keep it, remember that Gail and Alex are cooking up a mystery project to utilize bottle bases. Looked like a Cod marble in the stream, at 12: 15, near bottom of screen. : )

Such a beautiful place, it's over 100F at my house, I would love to join you in the stream! Lots of work for that petrified bottle, but it looks really good once you got the gunk off...

I think it's a mouth peace for a long metal pipe t o blow glass bottle ... love you, keep on enjoying larking (sea,mud ).love your dolls houses plus's your garden house amazing. Beautiful. X

Gorgeous video and great finds. I'm always chilled out when I'm watching your videos😊

The title of the video has me intrigued 👍😁

That metal thing is a mouthpiece for a cornet or trumpet! A spit valve is much smaller and is attached to the instrument.

Beautiful adventure. Kate is turning into a lovely young lady. Great shots of wild flowers and by drone.

Another Wonderous 45 minutes. Thank You both. I too have to make a comment of praise for the wonderful orange wellies, the colour brought to mind my Space Hopper that I had in 1971 😁. Blessings to you both

Love from the old lady in Texas may God bless you always😊

This is my favorite video! Everything about this is so engaging and informative. Art, history, folklore, archeology, and entertainment came together as a beautiful symphony! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

That heavy base thing - looks like it may be a mouth piece from a brass musical instrument (maybe off a trumpet).

Sometimes the high metal / mineral deposits form the milkiness on bottles and sometimes it gives it a pearly or metalic sheen. My husband brought back a few bottles he found at a gold mine he worked that has the metalic sheen.

The goo is probably some lime buildup. To clean it up soak the items in vinegar or a mild acid bath like drain cleaner and it will take all of it off. Depending on the deposite overnight in vinegar should devolve most of it. It will not harm glass or ceramics. It's hot here too. +38c today. It's hard to believe I was complaining about -38c a couple of months ago.

Awe I like all the cute little finds the best.

Encore! What a wonderful video. So much thanks to you.

I just love the pork pies, great video today ❤️🇨🇦

Another amazing adventure, thank you for sharing. Nice finds.

Saw the blimp and thought UFO! For a second. 😂🛸👽

Kate looked like a women's fashion catalog model. Well, minus the Wellies! It seems as if your entire country is either archaeological sites or bottle dumps. All I have in my back yard in New England is 20th century broken glass and rusty nails.

Such a beautiful place to mud lark, the pond/stream is stunning. Love the finds and that little bottle came up awesome when you chipped the scale off. Just 100 kilometres away have had to go back into lockdown so no fun. Please stay safe and well and blessings to you and your family 🙏🙏🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻and I hope you are out of lockdown and back to normal, well as normal as you can get.🤞🤞

Loved the whole day

A beautiful video ladies and so interesting. Hope you visit there again soon. Thank you for sharing X

Yet a other get video with some lovely finds . Can’t wait till your next video. Hope your week is a good one x

Fun dig in a beautiful area!

That oval piece of metal looks like a step for a tractor or maybe a carriage. I enjoy your videos...Thanks from Wisconsin USA.

22:50 I think it is a brass instrument mouth piece… I can’t wait to see what it is at the end

Wonderful finds, the first few turns of pottery I was 👀 this is going to be good. Suspense with the cod bottle a wonderful history of the well and then the Goodyear blimp😮. Oscars face was a picture. Thank you both😊…. Kate your wellies are fantastic 🍊🏀🧡

Such a lovely stream and for finding so many items. That was a nice large bottle with an interesting history. Looks like you had a good day and great to see the good year balloon. I haven't seen it for years. Thank you, enjoy your week

What a beautiful spot!!

I really enjoy all of your travels to the oceans and streams to find all your things. Also enjoy you going through your boxes of things you order or that people send you! Thank you Carol from USA

So happy to see you.

Great fun. Thank you.

I loved everything about this! The scenery was lovely this week, and I especially loved the teeny little mushroom- so cute! The story behind the location was interesting- I always love learning more about a location or an item.

I found your channel today and I’m enjoying it all so much.

I love daisies 🥰

i was raised in houston, texas and nearby there was a giant hangar for one of the Goodyear blimps, i think there were 4 of them around the u.s........every now and then they would deflate the rubber envelope and install a new one. the one from Texas was always riddled with bullet holes. (the other 3 were not) that speaks volumes about the Texas gun culture in which i was once but am no more deeply imbedded. peace be with you

Do you girls have a UV lens to add to the front of your camera lens? It can be turned and reduce if not remove the sun's glare from the surface of stream water. Keep the lens protector on and add on top. The areal footage at the beginning and the initial waterfall footage was wonderful. I love adventuring with you two. The birdsong is beautiful. Kate I love your Wellies. What type of butterfly 🦋 was that? It was pretty. I'm starting to believe that England has fairies who fly around the country dropping marbles just so Kate can find them. Kate you are magic. Your Wellies changed colour. So it's you who is a fairy 🧚‍♀️ I wrote all the above before you guys told of the wells history. It truly looked like a magic place. The little pork pie bottles would look cute grouped together and have shorts flowers in them like daisies. Your bottle with its fairy lights is perfect. Another use for the trumpet mouth piece, a birthday candle holder. Your 2 plates are gorgeous 😍.

thank you for the lovely video! i love the sound of the water, it reminds me of my childhood home. i think the calcium looking deposits in the water is called travertine, i have found it here in new mexico

What a range of finds! Spot on with that mouthpiece, but I suspect it could be from a bugle rather than a trumpet. You could try soaking it in some limescale remover to see it that helps. Such lovely scenery in your videos, and so peaceful too

The glass bottle top reminds me of a mushroom. Maybe you could use it as one in your crafting.

The day I am watching this is very hot and humid. I wish I was in that stream and waterfall. Very nice finds!

How lovely to watch the cool water after a beastly hot day here in Virginia, USA! The day ahead to be 38 C heat index. I shall sleep the day thank goodness in preparation for work overnight. Am immensely appreciative that I have working air condition in my home. I will say a prayer that it continues to work! You have given me beautiful visions of nature and cool water flowing for my dreams. Your lovely voices are so calming along with the chosen music. Absolutely wonderful video❣

Hi, with your cod bottle maybe you could try pencil and paper etching to see whats on it.. 🙂

Love the jars!

Absolutely STUNNING intro!!! Hi from Alabama!

I am pretty sure the mouthpiece is from a tuba. Trumpet tend to be narrower for range of tones but a tuba is shorter and squat like yours for the deep sounds

Lovey trip, a steam in the woods- heaven, I can almost smell the wild garlic and thanks for sharing the skylark 😊. Such a different mudlarks, great fun. 👌

Lets just say Goddess territory ; beautiful place, lovely peaceful vibe . Spongeware mostly unmarked unless for export so could be English ; Scottish, Welsh or Irish like you said . I like the trumpet mouthpiece . Life is sweet in the river on a hot day and doesn't summer smell gorgeous. Swans today 10 floating along ; serenity man ; not for sale and a pure white agate fit for a bride .

a bugle or trumpet mouth piece yes. love the bottle with the stopper beautiful

😊 I think it's calcium carbonate ? It's nice to see Kate in clean water instead of dirty water and mud for a change.

That was a beautifull place normally im not a lover of wells i find them very creepy somehowbut i enjoyed that.fleur your plates are lovley well worth getting for something so unusuall.and i love that your going yo make the broken dish into a chair for your dolls house great imagination.🐱🌾

Hello ladies. Lovely vid and stories. Hey Oscar at the end.

@ 22:43 looks like a horn mouthpiece....such as for a trumpet or French horn, etc.

I have heard some of the older folks in Kentucky saying pisen instead of poison. These people would have been born in the late 1800s.

Lovely as usual. Really enjoyed the countryside and close ups of the magic of a wooded area. The teeny mushroom was precious. Definitely a mouthpiece of a trumpet, coronet or other brass instruments. Thank you

Definitely the mouth piece for a Trumpet or Trombone

That material that's coating everything looks like calcium carbonate deposits. I guess that water is very hard (i.e. high dissolved calcium carbonate content) and it precipitating calcium carbonate onto any place the water slows down or drips, it's the same process that forms stalagtites and stalagmites in caves and limescale in your pipes/kettle. It will dissolve in vinegar (even a fairly weak solution) or the cleaning tablets folks use for their false teeth.

Such a sweet lark to such a neat place! Wonderful finds!

Magically delightful!

you might try vinegar to dissolve the calcium crust
