@@PilbaraPrincess1980 hiya Linda. The building in the film was originally(1800s) a steam driven saw mill then it was an iron, foundry. The church tower you see isn't physically conected. That's Saint Michaels church. That has burned down twice. After the last fire in the 1980s it was refurbished and opened again about 20 years ago. During the restoration some viking artifacts were discovered. Workington is known for its annual football games. Uppies and downies. A specially made ball is thrown from a small bridge further up this mill stream and the young men from the town try to get the ball to their goal. Downies are from this area, associated with sailing and fishing and the Uppies are from the other end of town and more associated with the miners and steel workers. I'm sure you could find video of the easter games on you tube. We play 3 times every year at easter. Do you have local links Linda as there are Pattons in Workington.

When you went to the Co-op, you would get a small pink strip of paper representing a (small) percentage of what you spent. This you would take home, you would then lick the back and stick it to a gummed sheet. When your sheet was full, you would take it to the Co-op and someone would tally up your dividend (divvy) which you would get paid in cash. Very exciting. This was pre-supermarkets and would buy butter, cheese, ham etc loose across a marble counter. They would wrap it up in greaseproof paper and pop it in your basket - at least my granny would. So it was cooperative in many sense of the word.

When I was detecting with a club in England one year, we kept track of how many buttons we found during the season. The final count was over 18,000. During older times, old clothes were sometimes used in the fields as fertilizer. Guess they didn't bother to remove the buttons.

In the 1950s my step grandmother found some wide gold-colored elastic, and having a huge collection of older buttons of different sizes, colors, and materials, she began to sew buttons to the elastic so close together you couldn't see the elastic; and from that she made bracelets. I especially remember one entirely covered in red buttons, some like little rubies, glass roses, some just plastic buttons she used for fill, and a few which were like little porcelain strawberries! And she still had tins and tins of collected various buttons!

Oh, I love stars and beads and shiny metal! And BUTTONS! I have loads of buttons. And only occasionally do I have a purpose for them. I have strung them on elastic cord for bracelets. Or you could pick pretty ones to act as charms on a charm bracelet. Flower shaped or pretty colors could act as flowers on an little embroidery or quilted pieced wall art. Stitch a heart shape, stuff it, and sew red or pink ones on the front for a fun Valentine's day decoration. Of course the could be ornaments on a felt Christmas tree or a Styrofoam tree. Great craft resource for kids. And who doesn't love just sitting and sorting them on a gloomy day? sort them into some of your jars.

Wow! Buttons, buttons, buttons. What to do with buttons? Decorate throw pillows and collars or cuffs on blouses, make swirly designs on sweaters, glue onto planters and vases, make earrings, bracelets, necklaces, make a Victorian, lady's button-up boot, holiday stocking, using real buttons where they would be on the boot, adding lace, ruffles and ribbon to make it fancy. I made one years ago, using very tint mother of pearl buttons my Mother found at a dump (Rattlesnake Hill) in Nevada US, back in the nineteen forties or thereabouts. It turned out beautifully and so did your beads and copper ornament, Gail. Loved your night hunt and could see very well with your light, Alex.

Bracelets, or sew them on vintage fabric in a shape like the heart that you’ve shaped there, or another shape, and put into a frame. Fill a bottle with buttons and use for a candle holder, make a button tree like seen on google. Make flowers out of buttons sewn on a jean jacket. Make little dish cloths and use the buttons so they can hang from cabinet handles, then you can dry your hands on them, and when they need washed, just unbutton and take down to laundry. Use for ragdoll eyes, glue buttons as drawer pulls on small doll furniture or jewelry cabinet. Make shelf angels with button legs, called button dolls, they’re legs hang off the shelf as if they are sitting on the edge of the shelf.

Absolutely loved this! Well, I love them all, but muddarking gives it such a different feel and made the finds seem even more miraculous. Talking to invertebrates is something I do too so Alex greeting the worm made me very happy :) . I absolutely loved the poem by William Gibbs and shall try to find more of it. Very atmospheric. Thank you so much!

I have a vintage button bracelet, the buttons sewn on a stretch piece of material so much so you can't see the material- looks like a chunky bracelet, love looking at all the buttons. Stay safe ladies.💕

Maybe there was a button factory that use to be nearby?

I went mudlarking near an old rubber factory the other day,found 6 amazing pieces, my favourite was a milk glass bead I found, the excitement when you find a bead :)

The Christmas ornament that Gail made is gorgeous!😍 My compliment for the music you've used! It was spot on. Thank goodness there is only a partial lock down here in the Netherlands. Pubs and restaurants are closed, and we can have only 2 visitors a day. But all the stores are open, there is only an obligation to wear a face mask and stay 1,5 meters a part from each other. We may go outside as much as we want, no restrictions for that. Stay safe and healthy everybody!❤

You two get as happy as I do whenever I find a bead. I used to live in so. California where the largest bead distributor in the USA was located. I used to go there in the middle of the night and pick up beads from the cracks in the pavement....thousands of them. It was great fun even though they were new. I prefer the old ones....of course.

Mudlarking at night! It had to be cold. Now that's dedication. I'm curious as to why so many buttons are present in River Derwent. Some interesting finds. Love to hear the historical perspectives about your finds. Nice star! Thanks for a cool video Gail and Alex.
