Cathy and Drew, I know that helpless feeling. Thank goodness Drew was able to call for help and you are both okay. I did enjoy your marble finds and the embossed bottles. 👍👏😀
Hi There! I should have known better than to go out in that mud.. 😦 Oh well, a hard lesson learned. As for the finds, I really like the sample Kitchen Bouquet bottle. I didn't know they existed, and I collect sample bottles. I also like the (compact lid?) with the people dancing! Glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry for the drama at the end! 😵 😬
Oh, bless your sweet hearts, what a pickle to find yourselves in! But you found some nice bottles and lots of pretty shards! And 2 marbles! Absolutely, stay away from the muck!!!❤
Hi Cynthia! We'd been there so many times before, and twenty years in our local river... Never have we ever gotten so stuck!! That mud had suction! Drew told me not to go out there.. sigh. 😦 Anyway, we went back a couple of weeks later.. a little wiser. I think my favorite finds were that (compact lid?) and the Kitchen Bouquet sample bottle (and the marbles Lol). 😁💖
Thank you Sherry, we are fine. It was a wake up call for me. I was getting too bold and careless out there, and you just can't do that! Drew told me not to go out there... I went Anyway. (Par for the course🙄). -Cathy 💖
Oh boy. When you started showing how deep you were standing in that mud, I swear my blood pressure started going up! So glad that you were able to get assistance. Also glad that you shared that experience as a cautionary tale. This is why I don’t like to go out much on the mud flats on my local tidal rivers…I don’t care how many marbles are out there - just too much soft mud for me. 😀
You are wise to stay out of that mud! Too bad we didn't get video of the rescue. Thankfully no injuries, but we were sore the next day... We used every muscle we had before calling for help. Incredible suction in that mud! No, there is no marble or bottle worth risking one's life for. 😬😵🚒
Yes, it was scary! Too bad I don't have video of the rescue! But that might have been a little too disturbing for those who watch us for "light entertainment". 😬🙄
Glad you guys made it out of the mud. I haven’t been a subscriber for very long and would have been disappointed to lose you. Take care and the good Lord keep you safe
Hi Carolyn! Sorry so long since our last video.. sometimes "life" happens and I get behind. We are fine, despite our muddy ordeal, and have more videos in store! Thank you for watching and commenting! 👋😃😎💖🙏
Glad you both got out of the mud safely and are ok. I will definitely keep this in mind next time i go somewhere like that. Thanks for including that in the video.
You're welcome! Not sure everyone liked the dramatic ending, but we're o.k., and it was an important message to get across to our viewers. (Trying to get something positive out of the situation 🙄) A hard lesson learned. -Cathy 🙂
Wow ! Holy Crud !!! How bout that mud !! …. Ya know I don’t know what was goin on with me these last few weeks …. I felt dim-witted & dull , listless with lack of focus low energy no real purpose ….. Then the new Mass River Picker’s vid dropped & like a tonic - It made me my old self again Even the dog noticed !! Thanks 🙏 Cathy & Drew Lots of cool finds - a dolls heiney ? 😝 but I love the bottle’s - very cool ones … I think I’m going to collect just mini bottles … they take up less room in a Tiny Home 🏠 Glad “youze guys” are Back In the saddle !!
Hi Chris! 👋😃😎 Glad we could help Lol. I sure hope I can get back on track now.. It was not my intention to take a month off! (Thanks for the prayers and well wishes... And the lizard 🦎 😂). Yes, I love sample bottles. They are usually more scarce, and take up little space. Marbles are small too! 😁💖 Thanks for noticing we were MIA. Hopefully not so long until the next vid. We have another snow storm coming Sunday night. ❄️ 🦌🦃🐇⛄
@@massriverpickers I forgot to ask … Did ya have the fireman grab that bottle ? Ya know the one responsible for the whole debacle ?? It looked “crockish” 🤷♂️
I was so excited to see a new video, missed watching! What a terrible scary time that must have been for the both of you!! So very glad you are both doing well. Take care, stay safe
Hi Penny! Sorry such a long break.. (unrelated to the mud incident) hopefully I can get back on track now. As terrible as that mud was... Thankfully it was just a lesson learned. After so many years in a hobby, one can get a little too careless and bold 😬. I still couldn't wait to go back again! 😁 💖 Many more adventures to come! -Cathy👋😃😎
Yes, when it's above 38 degrees out, and we have low water! We're hoping for less rain this year, so we can get back in our favorite local (inland) rivers! Thanks for watching and commenting! 👋🙄😎👍
So enjoyed this video. Seems like it has been a while! What a way to end your day, but what a story you have to tell! Wonder if that was a first for the firefighters?! Shame there were no pictures of your rescue! Happy you are both okay. Stay safe! Keep the adventures coming!
Hi Patricia, Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes! It HAS been a while! Almost a month. 😬 Hopefully I can get back on track now. We have many more videos to share, I just need to edit them. 🙂💖 Thank you for watching and commenting! -Cathy 👋😃 (& Drew 😎) Oh, BTW, the fire department said they pull someone out if that mud about once a year!
Oh dear... true mudlarking... I know it's impossible when you're filming everything, but I always, always lark with a stick. My 3rd leg and my possible rescue if I get stuck. Also a good way to tesy how seep the mud is, so I can compare that to my boot height. Glad you made it out w/ no injuries other than ego perhaps. I've always wanted waders, but am a bit afraid of just this. I'd be happy to leave a boot behind!
Actually, I use my grabber to test and steady myself (why I keep mangling them Lol). But I had the grabber, and Drew had a long handled rake. The mud swallowed them both, without a trace!! My boots were attached, but my feet kept coming out of the foot part, ever time I tried to take a step! And yes... Drew lost a boot. No injuries, just sore muscles the next day, from all the struggling. And MY bruised ego. (Drew told me not to go out there, but I did anyway.. 😬). I hear that what else you REALLY need to watch out for is getting your chest waders full of water! I could have escaped the suit, but where would I go?? Down into more mud, without the suit! Sigh... Lessons learned.
@@massriverpickers Ooof. That's bad- when you lose your gear like that (reminds me of the Oliver! scene when Fagan's treasurebox gets swallowed up by the London goo). Pattons (those foot thingies for walking on mud)maybe??? Well. One way or t'other, I'm glad you both got out ALIVE!!! Be sure to stay that way, k? 🙂
Cathy and Drew, I usually Love to comment on your finds. But today's comment I will keep short and to the point. Thank Goodness. Thank the FD.. Thank the cell phones and cell phone service. Take Care and what a way start the New Year.
Hi Rita, Oh, I'm sorry for the drama this video 😬. Actually, I wish I had video of the rescue!! We are fine. This happened before Christmas. (The long break in videos was unrelated). Hopefully I can get back on track now. We have many more,( happier) adventures to share! -Cathy💖
Was watching along, as I do, and it finally FINALLY occurs to me why you (and I... and everyone!) find so many extract bottles... No massive, juggernaut sweet cakes/pies/snack businesses flooding the groveries of the day. Oy- that took WAY too long to figure out LOL Thanks for the vid!
Yes, people baked more in those days, and I have also heard of women using vanilla or lemon extract as an inexpensive perfume! (Not sure how common a practice that was though). Burnett's and Baker's.. I was expecting a Foss's extract next! 🙄
@@massriverpickers Well- that perfume idea doesn't really surprise me tho I'd never heard it before. I actually use cheap dollar store type powdered spices like cinnamon and ginger as a carpet scent (makes the vacuum smell oddly like holiday baking LOL)
Wow, neat idea! (spices). That's GOT to be better than Carpet Fresh! We had to exchange a rental car on vacation once cuz I couldn't stand the carpet fresh! (Who knows what they were trying the cover up!😝)
Hi Cathy and Drew, my goodness getting stuck like that must have been traumatic! Even my stomach turned and it didn't happen to me so I cannot imagine how you both felt! I'm glad you went back though, it's a good idea to and helps to dispel the bad memory. On a lighter note it's good to see you back and finding lovely things 😁❤x
Hi Amanda! It's good to be back (so to speak.. I took a longer break than intended, and got next to nothing done😦 ). Anyway, I hope to get back on schedule now. ( I missed chatting with you!😥) That mud at the beach was incredible! I could not lift my feet for the suction. Too bad we didn't get video of the rescue.. I should have had my GoPro camera on my head, like I used to do. It was more physically exhausting than anything. I was confident help would come, but I felt stupid rest of the day for not listening to Drew, when he told me not to walk out there. 🙄 Yes, I'm glad we went back again😁. We are getting another snow storm Sunday -Monday. ❄️ I am already counting the weeks until spring! 🌸 (7 and a half) Hope all is well with you. 💖
@@massriverpickers I missed you too, you have become a lovely part of my Saturday mornings that I look forward to 😁I'm sorry the weather is keeping you in. We have had some terrible storms here in the UK but, fingers crossed, nothing too bad in my little part of Yorkshire. Bring on the spring! I will be having my hip replaced next month and as soon as I can I will be back out on those tips 😄💖x
Wow! (The hip) I will have you in prayer for all to go well and for a complete and speedy recovery! 🙏💖 Spring is a good time for healing and new life. 🌷🌸🌼💮
Hello Cathy and Drew. This was a awesome video to watch like all of them and Lew and i enjoyed watching it very much. That spot paid off for some nice bottles again and a few marbles & relics to. The Dr. Miles bottles are always nice to find. The baby's butt part of this video was hilarious to watch. Maybe a little spooky to,, LOL! Evil baby doll butts! LOL! That Buick car piece was interesting to see and probably went to a early car. Wow, that was so horrible when you both got stuck in the low tide mud.(It's almost like quick sand, right?) Glad to see you were able to use you cell phone and be saved. This could of been a tragedy possibly. Hopefully next time you will find better stuff and we know you will never let yourselves get stuck in the mud again. I went to the Big E train show in Springfield MA with my friends and had a good time. I put those videos on our new Jeffrey Hull Jr channel if you or anyone else to would like watch them. Lew couldn't make it and I bought some nice stuff that wasn't too much money and I will put a video on my channel to show them on there. We are looking forward to watching more of your videos. We wish good luck and health to you guys. Take care and happy hunting to the both of you.---Jeffrey Hull Jr. (Jeff & son Lew)
Hi Jeff & Lew, Not much for bottles that trip, but I'm happy with the sample size Tournade's Bouquet. I collect sample bottles (usually meds though). Doll parts are always fun to find 🙂. But that mud was bad!! We're pretty used to that sort of thing, but never like this. Even Drew's long handled rake, and my grabber tool got swallowed up, never to be seen again! We did go back again, but stayed away from the low tide muck. 😬🙄🚒
Hi There, And thank you! Believe it or not, Drew had a long handled rake, and I had my grabber tool, and the mud swallowed both!! We left without them! It was the worst mud we had ever experienced. And because it was winter, nobody else was at the beach! Even a rope may have been helpful. But, I learned a hard lesson that day.. no matter how many years experience you have, never underestimate the power of mud! 😬🙄
Hi Maria! Happy New Year to you also!🎉 We are hoping for better weather this year, for more adventures! But it will be snowing here Sunday-Monday!❄️ Hope you are having good weather in Greece! Best to you this New Year 2024! 👋😃😎
The weather is fine for the moment. There are people that still enjoy winter swimming. Thank u for your wishes! Concerning the mudlarking, I watch people from London on utube, that they also do mudlarking but they wear hand made special shoes, actually like small snow boards , so that they can mudlark safely. You have beautiful that beautiful river and coast too. Better be safe , as your life is the most precious thing above all! Take good care! 👍 Bb
Yes, we watch those other mudlarking channels too! We've seen those mud shoes.. My dream to go mudlarking along the Thames foreshore some day! But, I have learned now... That no bottle (or any other artifact) is worth risking one's life for! Thank you for watching and commenting 💖. How wonderful that we can speak across oceans and continents! -Cathy👋😃
Yes Cathy, it's fantastic that we do so! To tell the truth I was wondering why I haven't seen one of your videos for a long time, I missed that...^ we can go home now* haha! and of course all the wonderful sceneries by the sea, or by the river! Love ❤ bb
Have you seen our Community page? I have some photos of deer and turkeys in the snow, in our yard, up now. If you go to our channel, and click the community tab you can see them. 🦃🦌 ❄️ Thanks again, my friend. 💖
Hello Tony! 👋😃😎 And welcome to our channel! We love searching for anything old and interesting, but our first love is antique bottles! You will also see some metal detecting, and flea market finds on our channel as well (when we can't be in the rivers). And a bit of our backyard wildlife from time to time. We look forward to more mudlarking and river picking in 2024! (It is winter here now) Thank you for watching and commenting! -Cathy & Drew 😁😎👍
That was a close call! Thank God for first responders and your cell phone! On an unrelated note, your bottles clean up so nicely! Do you have a secret procedure or formula that you'd be willing to share?
Hello 👋🏻 Drew and Kathy, I was wondering where you both were. I was going to send out the military force for you guys 😂😂😂 Now I find out you guys been stuck in the mud Jim midi Christmas! I sure hope you are doing better now! This was a crazy time to be getting yourselves stuck together ya know? 😂😂😂 How did the FD get you out? How deep were you in mud? Inquirer’s wants to know ! Sorry I’m giving you a hard time! I missed you both ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Hi Susan! Thanks for noticing our absence.. It's nice to be missed. 💖 I did not intend to take THAT long a break between videos (unrelated to the mud incident). Hopefully I can get back on track again now. Many videos to edit and share with you!! The FD tossed life preservers to us (with ropes attached) and pulled us out! Drew lost a boot, and his long handled rake (swallowed up in the mud) but we got out with no injuries. Drew's legs were in deeper than mine. It would have been a lot worse has the tide come in! No need to even go out there.. many treasures in the "safe zone". We did go back again, but stayed away from the mud. Thanks again Susan! 👋😃😎👍
I've been collecting them for crafting and jewelry, but have not done much yet. Most pieces will need more cleaning first. Too good to leave behind though!
Yes, thank God we got out of there! The problem was... I WASN'T scared. I thought I could manage it. Drew told me not to go out there.. I went anyway.🙄 The fire department told us someone gets stuck out there about once a year! No bottle is worth risking one's life for. Worst mud we'd ever experienced in twenty years, here in Mass. 😯😬🚒👨🚒
@@massriverpickers We went out on a drained lake on time, years ago......The surface was all dry and cracked up looking... Really cool exploring, but needless to say, I lost my favorite shoes...🤣👍 Scary as heck...I learned a lesson for sure....
