I’m so happy to see Caroline and Phil with you again and to hear the best voice on CZcams
Thanks Teeisme, I think I've got 3 more videos with them in to come, and we're planning on meeting up again soon... not mudlarking, but there might be some filming. 🙂
thank you Tom for the time you put in for us!!!!@@tomburleigh9261
Anyone from the USA watching this and wishing we had great things to find here? Seeing Tom put things back is painful. We just don’t have the amount of historical items here. I would literally love that kind of no takers. Love this channel!
You probably do have such places in the US, but its just knowing where to look.
In the UK its hit and miss as to what area you are in, some areas seem to have a lot of big municipal dumps, and around London they seem to be spoiled for choice.
Good luck with your bottle hunting.👍
Sorry for the pain. I think Paul is right, I follow a few channels who mudlark, creek walk, and dig for bottles and relics. Harder to find though, admittedly... requiring more research and legwork. Good luck, I hope you can find somewhere good.
If you can find any old city maps, you might be able to find the old dump sites. I remember digging an old dump with a friend of mine in Wisconsin.
Yes. I’m from Southwest Tennessee. There used to be places when I was a teenager. At age 68 I’m sad to see our lovely hometown is overpopulated and houses fill the old fields where abandoned buildings used to be. I have a nice collection of old bottles though.
Hi Tom. We just got back from France and spent an enjoyable 46 minutes going down memory lane to a wonderful holiday in Yorkshire... We miss our adventures with you, and still hope to get up to visit before the year is out. Thank you for all your kind words 🤠😎🐼
That turpentine bottle would be a cool find since I do a lot of painting and DIY projects. There is one of those ceramic batteries I left at my local dump that I might get next time I visit. I'm very thankful for this great video Tom as I'm feeling very blue recently after a wonderful trip to my friend's wedding in scotland and lots of scottish bottle digging. I always get low after trips, back to traffic noise, reality and slight loneliness. I have exhibitions to enter this week, but I feel a bit lacking in experience and future prospects... Anyway, the miserable bit over, we found amazing things in Scotland and those glass batteries you found are lovely! (I agree they are a weighty object though). I hope you are well Tom? You have a lovely area of the world to explore. That squished insulator is a slightly rarer wide style of the screw top "pothead" style. Shame it's squished 😂
Sorry you're feeling blue Richard, I hope it's not long lasting. You're a wonderful artist, and I hope your skills and talents open up many prospects in your future.
Glad you had a good time in Scotland, sounds awesome... I haven't found any dumpsites in Scotland yet, and I've been going increasingly frequently. It's much easier here, there's maps and everything 😀
I'm reasonably well, all the better for finally having finished the video... been a bit low and blue too.
@@tomburleigh9261 Hopefully your mood improves too then! If you are ever in scotland at the same time as any of our trips, you'll be surprised how many great dumps are there. Mainly old sand/gravel pits and a much bigger dump we dug deep at and filled in again nice and neat. Cream pots etc and a sadly smashed rare fat cobalt hobnail poison. Thank you for the kind words, I find the bigger issue is needing things to sound good on a list. Job experience is valued more than actual ability these days... Let me know if you venture my way at all 👍
@@richardserridge2767 Ah yes, the whole experience vs actual abilities thing. Might be part of the reason I went down unusual paths that didn't require me to deal with employers or gallery curators. Not really recommending it, I'm not really earing a living yet through my creative output, but possibly on my way now with CZcams being the central thread of the weave.
I'm hoping to get my phone sorted sometime soonish, so I can head over to Blitz Beach this autumn, and I'll give you fair notice so we could meet up there if you'd like. It's the Wirral you're on isn't it? Haven't been there for ages, but me and my Girlfriend are thinking of a drive down through parts of North Wales, then to Shrewsbury, and then across to the Pembrokeshire Coast. Might be a possibility to visit Wirral along the way. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 That would be brilliant! I have a local dump site to visit if you like and blitz beach is a good option too. I'm not earning a proper living and I'm yet to register as self employed, but if I sell another painting soon I will! Finding drive is often hard for anybody introverted, but we'll work it out eventually!
I've made many terrariums and had good results using bottles like the large, light green, bottle, but with one caveat. You have to use the correct plants. Undergrowth plants, like ferns, mosses, club mosses, and even woodland violet, tend to do just fine in glass with a light green cast. It isn't much different than the light that filters though dense tree leaves. Just keep your terrarium out of direct sun so it doesn't overheat. I haven't tried amber glass, or any of the darker colors, and I have doubts about them. I don't think the plants would get enough light, in the right wavelengths, to thrive. If you feel lucky, it might be worth a try, in the name of science. (You might be able to get a mushroom garden to grow.) Best of luck. I warn you though. Terrariums are habit forming.
Thank you, that's all great advice. I'm very much a beginner but it looks like a great hobby and one well worth getting a bit of a habit for. 🙂
It’s a great day when a video comes out from you! Thank you for creating and sharing with us. You are sites with lots of treasure to discover is my favourite.
I would never be able to resist taking those ceramic and glass jars, I can think of all kinds of things to use them for. Happy future hunting, Tom! ✌🏼❤️
Thanks Lisa. I struggle with the what to do with them when I have them, it helps with not taking to many *(now, finally, after years of taking too many 🙂).
Yay! A new video from Tom......I'll take it!!!!!
Thanks Cali, I hope you're enjoying it. 🙂
I enjoy your original music and your soothing voice. Great episode. Thank you
Thanks Gia 🙂
This video was a real treat to view. Thank you Mr. Burleigh.. Peace be with you.
Thank you, and Peace be with you too. 🙂
So pleased to see this video come up tonight😂, and to see Caroline and Phil out with you. I really miss hearing “ I’ve found a brick” or”I’ve found a plinth”!
Thanks Christine. I miss their mudlarking videos too, but they've produced some really beautiful videos since 🙂. They might be visiting West Yorkshire again soon, and we'll find something to film, that might involve bricks 🙂
🙋♀️❤ I'm always tickled when I find my favorite mudlarker channels gravitate to each other!
We started about a month apart, and have been friends ever since 🙂. Hopefully they'll be visiting again soon, though not for mudlarking.
Tom, what a wonderful day of finds and fellowship! Miss Phil and Caroline so much so was great to get a glimpse of them! ❤
Hi Lark, we loved this trip down memory lane with Tom, and it's great to see your comment. While we had to move away from mudlarking, we still enjoy making videos of our travels every week and meeting with friends on the Live Show. Take care 🤠😎🐼
Tom and Caroline and Phil! Love it - we’ve missed some good, old-fashioned tiplark from you three!
I think I have a few more to edit that feature the Johnsons, and there's a chance we might film together in the future, though probably not mudlarking. 🙂
This place just keeps on giving! I would come out of there with multiple bags full 😂. What a beautiful, moody sky! Yes to exploring abandoned buildings please 😊
Those two ink bottles together - such a wonderful color.
So wonderful to see you again❤Love seeing Philip and Caroline too ❤ I watch their videos every week ❤
Thanks Angela, it's good to have gotten back to it, and gotten this video done. Looking forward now to seeing the Johnsons again soon, in person 🙂
Cool video Tom. Sadly they dont mudlark any more and this is seeing the past come alive gain. Great stuff.
They'll be mudlarking for a few videos yet! When I get around to editing them.🙂
@@tomburleigh9261great stuff 😊
Just what i needed a Tom Burleigh video. so relaxing . great to see you pop up.
Thanks JJ, it feels great to have finally got this one done, and up. 🙂
So much fun seeing the Johnsons out in the wild...great walk Mr. Burleigh! Thank you!
They are great fun to be out and about with 🙂. Hopefully we'll find some decent filming places when they visit next, this one is gone now and the Johnsons don't really mudlark anymore.
Thank you for this video Tom. I always enjoy watching your journey of larking on the country side and good to see Phil and Caroline.
How lovely to see this video and with Phil and caroline. Thank you for sharing with us
Thanks Karen, I've a few more in the stack filmed with them, and hopefully... they might be visiting West Yorkshire again soon. Not for mudlarking, but I'm sure there are some places worth filming that we could visit together. 🙂
Tom, I miss you when you are not doing video’s, I am so excited to see you with Caroline and Phil other favourites of mine, Great Video ❤️🇨🇦
Hi Catherine 🤠😎🐼
What a beautiful haul! Your videos bring me peace and I thank you. 😊
Witam 👋
Cieszę się że jesteś z nowym filmem 👍
Pozdrawiam serdecznie 🇵🇱
Dziękuję, cieszę się, że w końcu go 🙂 skończyłem
Greetings from Florida, Tom! Very happy to see the new video from you today! Regarding the figurine with the basket: The clothes remind me of Dutch workers of 100 - 200 years ago. Contents would be bread or fish, I would think and the delft blue and white would be spot on. Your questions regarding what type of video we would watch. I would enjoy nearly any subject! Your inquisitive nature, as well as your narrative style, just brings me along for the journey, as it were. The glass finds are superb! Your window ledge is perfect for display. . 'Til next time, take care and stay safe!
Thanks Juadonna 🙂 It's good to have an ID for him. I think I might repair his broken leg, and give him something to carry in his basket.
Glad to hear support for more varied videos, I'm planning a few. 🙂
So pleased to see you back and hope it means you are feeling well. How beautiful the bottles become at your touch. How calm I feel at the sound of your voice. Thank you.
Thanks Artie, I had a bit of a downward trajectory over summer where I couldn't really face editing. But it does feel better to have got back to it, and gotten the video I started editing 2 months ago up and out. I hope you're feeling well, and thank you once again for your kind superthanks. 🙂
So Happy 😁 to view this, oh what an Adventure🌳 you All had. 🫖 Like the teapot 💥 missed your voice Thanks 👏♥️🎃🙋♀️
Thanks Georgia, it was a lovely day, and such a fun site for a short while. Gone now, but I've still got videos to edit from there. 🙂
The whispering. Makes this video a candidate for asmr type of videos that relax and put you to sleep
Caroline and Phil are such wonderful people. I know you enjoyed your visit.
They are indeed. We've been friends since we both started making mudlarking videos, within a month of each other... I hope we remain friends for life. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 So do we Tom 🤠😎🐼
Great to see you back Tom! I always check on Sunday evening with my fingers crossed and this time my it worked! 😊
Aw, thanks Angela. I'm sorry it's been so long, hopefully it won't be this long again for the foreseeable future. 🙂
Your videos are both super relaxing and interesting.. love it ❤
Thank you, that's a kind compliment. 🙂
Have missed your appreciation of history , copper and brass . Sending blessings your way 🙏
Thank you, blessings be upon you too. 🙂
Great to see another lovely video uploaded by my favourite CZcamsr! Thank you, Tom.
Thanks Peter, and it's nice to know I'm someone's favorite 🙂
Love your work Tom; thank you for what you do.
Thanks Ninfa, I'm glad it's appreciated. 🙂
Btw I love the blue boy AND basket statue! Wow
How lovely to see you back Tom, I’m looking forward to watching. 🙂
Thanks Charlotte, I'm glad to be back. Hopefully won't be such a long gap before the next one. 🙂
Goodness so many wonderful finds and I always learn something new whilst watching, I didn’t know army spoons where re issued. Love the deep cut ink and the prism poison, the dark side of me would want to fill the basket with doll/figurine parts being transported for some kind of Frankenstein creation. Great to see a video from you and now I am calm.
Thanks Tom, it was lovely to watch and listen as you walked that large area of bottle digger holes. Most of the bottle diggers I watch, refill their holes so as not to leave a mess as well as danger behind, it was sad looking. I love the blue fire extinguish refill bottle, I had never seen one before. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Thanks Debbie. I think there, there was the expectation of the bulldozers coming, so people weren't concerned with filling in their holes. Actually, that's probably an overly generous interpretation, I really don't see many filled in holes at any of the sites I know, 🙁. It did indeed look quite sad.
I hope you have a wonderful day too. 🙂
Great Video Tom,
This is a really nice site, it just keeps giving some really interesting object's. The fire extinguisher refill bottle was unusual, but it was in my favourite colour of blue...🙂👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Eddie 🙂. Sadly the site is gone now, but I've a few more videos to edit from there. Cobalt blue is my favorite colour of glass too. 🙂
Thank you for the video. I enjoy your trips so much.
What a great video, im a new watcher and truly enjoy all your beautiful finds ❤ looking forward to new adventures 😊
All the way from Tyler Texas.
Thanks Donna, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Yay! A new video! Thanks for sharing, and it was great to see Phil & Caroline! The blue figure could hold toothpicks, or matches for a fireplace. So many great finds!
Thanks Jazdia. It's always a treat to meet up with them, and they might be visiting West Yorkshire again soon. 🙂
The huge jar cleaned up very nicely!
Sure did, I think the remaining glass sickness is very minor, and it'll look amazing as a terrarium 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 I agree!
Always love to see what your eyes see ,your country is beautiful as is always the view from your window, ❤ from Texas
Thanks Tammy. I'm glad I live in a time I can share some of the beautiful countryside around here with people all over the world. I love seeing far off places in videos too. 🙂
I have so missed hearing your voice. Glad to have you back x ❤
Thank you, I'm glad to be back. 🙂
You're narrative and voice are most relaxing...Adds life to something that should be very boring... Good job 👍....
Ah memories.......I loved this site! It's where I found some of my most precious finds and spent happy hours with friends. You found some lovely things and it was good to see Caroline and Phil. I really enjoyed this video, thanks Tom 😀💖x
Thanks Amanda, it was indeed a great site, sadly missed. Hopefully, the Johnsons will return to West Yorkshire again soon... I've been saving the visit to the brickworks for Phil.🙂I hope you're well, and we'll have to meet up again sometime soonish... I've many pipe bowls and pieces to give you.
@@tomburleigh9261 Bless you Tom, sadly it looks like I will need a hip replacement so I won't be going anywhere for some time. Please call if you are passing, I could do with more Monty Python impressions to cheer me up 😂💖 x
The jam jars a pickle jars a stoppers are appealing
Yep, I have many that I wasn't quite able to resist 🙂
Another calming video today. I’ve been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, which there is no cure. Will follow you and your channel as long as possible. All the best in the future Tom. See you on the next! ❤😊
So lovely to see you again and to be able to see our friends Caroline and Phil again. Thank you for a fantastic mudlark.
Thanks Peggy, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and seeing them. 🙂
been waiting for your video ! Hopping you are well. thanks 😊 ❤
Thanks Alma, I'm not doing too badly. Hope you're well too. 🙂
Hi Tom. Lovely to hear from you again 🏵🌹🥀🌺
Thanks Juliane 🙂
Gorgeous gorgeous glass pieces!
Yes, that site was great for glass 🙂
I absolutely love the intro tune, I never want it to end!
Mary Mary quite contrary left those cockle shells! Wear an old fashioned fisherman’s vest with pockets to stash treasures!
Really enjoyed that, thank you. I think a terrarium would thrive in the big jar! Really pleasant lark 😊 until next time
Thanks Lorith 🙂
Canary head.. to match the yellow.
Thanks Lise, cool suggestion. 🙂
It a joy to see you have given yourself a little more permission to take additional finds.
If it were me I would need a wheelbarrow so much to see and choose from.
It’s as if the earth is returning all the buried dumps back to the surface.
It's something I can't do all that often, but it's certainly a lot of fun to let loose and take anything that takes my fancy. 🙂
Incredible finds!!!
I love all porcelain items! Your lady can have any pretty head for example bird head!)
Figure with bisect can be used like plant pot❤
Thanks Julia. I think bird head seems like the likely choice 🙂. Not sure if the basket is really big enough for most plants, and no drainage. Maybe an air plant, or cactus, but I don't have much success with either of those.
@@tomburleigh9261 basket can be a salt or spices holder too)))
If you go back, or to similar sites, like the stream, it would be great if you could take a potato rake. You could reach up high or into holes, without endangering yourself.
The amber bottle would be a beautiful autumn vase for dried flowers, pods, and grasses. Thank you for the adventure.
The piece of glass you found at 46:28 looks like part of a piece that Si-finds found and it was a piece of glass used on a boat to bring in light below. His was whole and he made a light out of it .
Oh cool, thanks so much for the ID 🙂
Hello 👋 from New York USA you found some Amazing finds Thank you for bringing me along with you i can't wait to see what you find next 😊
So happy to hear from you again. What wonderful finds and a great time with great friends.
Thanks Pat, I'm happy to be back, and finally finished with editing this video🙂. I always have a great time with the Johnsons. 🙂
Wonderful to see you out and about. Those bottle diggers left some good treasures. I like the Beautiful blue bottle.
It was a great site for a while, lots of interesting things to look through and find. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it all 🙂
Lovely video Tom, I love the little bottles, theyre just so quaint! 😊😊
Thanks Leanne 🙂
Beautiful lark as usual.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Hi there 👋👋 good to see/hear you again. Great day out at the tip. Take care and thanks for sharing 👏🙏❤️
Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Super finds. ❤
Lots of little doll heads on the blue and white lady/ basket. Just heads... A bit weird but nay be quite cool!
Thanks Linda, I don't think I've got any the right scale, but heads in the basket appeals to me as a halloween video possibility. 🙂
Great finds !!😊😊😊
Thanks Kathy 🙂
So glad to see a video from Tom in my CZcams feed! Lovely to hear and see your adventures. Hope you are continuing to do well.
Thanks Erin. Had a bit of a blip regarding my deepseated dislike of editing, but I finally got this video out and it feels great 🙂.
Great finds!!
Thanks Colleen 🙂
I love that this video is from 2021. What a marvelous dump site!!!
It's unfortunately gone now, the bulldozers came, and there's a business park going up on top of it. Still, I've got a few more videos filmed there to edit, lots more finds from a very generous place. 🙂
❤❤❤ for the terrarium, may I suggest Sherpa Designs. That glass should be fine for a terrarium I believe.
I do follow Sherpa Designs, he does some beautiful work. 🙂
Blue glass! Thank you❤
Lovely to see a notification today you’d posted a new video! I’ve had to suffice with reruns for a while now 😊
Thanks Michaela, glad to have finally finished this one. Already working on the next 🙂
It's the 3 musketeers back together again!
And hopefully, they might be visiting West Yorkshire again soon. 🙂
Loved the video, by the way, I always loved cod liver oil and also cod liver,when I was a baby in the 60,s. I had a lot of it and my mum always says I,m not normal,because just the smell made her vomit and I would ask for more, even now I like it on bread😂😂
Thanks Pili. I daresay some of my favorite snacks would be a little yucky to most people, so I won't say it's abnormal for you to like that... just a little hard to stomach for most people 😀
😅That, s true, I find it extremely tasty lol.
Make a wire stand for that narrow blue bottle so it will stand upright. The blue Dutch boy, he's so intact, it would be ashame to alter it. It could be a toothpick holder, planter or hold whatever. You found some very nice things at that dump.
Thanks for the suggestions, I think a wire stand is the way I'll go with the bottle. The blue Dutch boy might get a repair, and something to fill the basket. 🙂
I made a terrarium in a 5-gal aqua water bottle in the off-year between high school and college. I went away for collect, but tended it every summer throughout the 4 years of school. The plants did very well for me.
Ah, wish I could find a 5 galon bottle 🙂. I do have some demijohns, but the neck is too narrow. Glad it worked well for you, I'm deeply impressed by people who do Terrarium channels, like Serpa Design, it looks like such a relaxing and wonderful hobby. 🙂
Thanks Tom
Thanks Joseph, glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Thanks!
Thanks Artie, very kind and very much appreciated. 🙂
Yeaaay been a while buddy glad to see you hunting again the music never gets 👍
Thanks Charles, glad to be back🙂. Hopefully, will get some more music recorded someday, I've got several pieces ready written and practiced.
Great to hear or see Tom looking forward to hearing them.@@tomburleigh9261
A wonderful day! :)
Thanks Kathryn, and I agree... it's always a wonderful day for me when I get to hang out with the Johnsons. 🙂
Yay! Missed you tom
Thanks @nannerz1994, I've missed uploading 🙂
So nice to see another of your videos. My there was alot of interesting things to see.
Thanks Shannon, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Started to watch a different video and saw Tom had posted. The others can wait. I’m watching Tom’s first.
Aw, thanks Kathleen. Not my best video, but I'm glad it's finished and finally up. 🙂
Ideas for the dutch basket : frozen Charlotte bodies or heads or doll eyeballs. I believe it was a planter hence empty for the plant.
Tom Kate loves acorns, Kate from kit and caboodlers
Thanks Fonda, I'll keep it for her. 🙂
Ooh I was just thinking about you the other day. I was hoping for another video soon and here it is 🫶🏻 I hope you and your good lady are well Tom
Thanks Emily, we're reasonably well. I hope you're well too. 🙂
Tom.
It's so good to see your post, it's been a while.
I hope Phil is doing well now.
That site looks like a WW2 bombing.
Most bottles diggers fill in where they have dug, I find this disturbing.
Take care, you are a solace to me.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Cheers Rik, it's been a rough few months, but it does feel good to have gotten this video finished and up. 🙂
I agree, it looks a sorry state... I think the bottle diggers were in a race, to get what they could before the bulldozers, which have indeed taken that site now. Still, that's no excuse for some of what they did, like leaving platic bottles around, and smaller plastic bits that the breeze could easily carry off.
I hope you're keeping well,
Warm regards, Tom.
You ss well Tom👍
I miss your videos. Here I am watching reruns again. Kind sir please make some more
😊😊😊 great video Tom 👌
Hi we missed your videos ..and you of course..
😊 thank you.
Yay!. Lovely to see you back again, Tom. 😀
Thanks! Lovely to be back 🙂
Wonderful to see you back Tom. Very enjoyable scour of the dump, unearthing some lovely finds, the big jar the best. Nice pipe as well. Look forward to another video soon.
Thanks Ian and Sue, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
I love your videos but especially the music. Love it!
Thanks Joanne 🙂
It's been a while. Maybe I missed video. Very nice video. I'm jealous you all have such great places to lark. In the U.S. we're I live No such thing.
No, I don't think you've missed a video, it's been more than two months since I uploaded. Fingers crossed I might be back to releasing every few weeks again now. 🙂
Hello Tom. I'm sorry but I had quite a giggle over the "appeal" of a sad banana left by a bottle digger.😂 Good to see you are still at it. Just upgraded my tumbler but haven't used it yet, but soon some tiles will find themselves going in circles. Blessings
You guys have such neat old bottles than we do here IdahoUSA.
I certainly get spoilt for choice here. The things the bottle diggers find here are even cooler. 🙂
