I’m watching your videos for years. Normally I‘m a silent viewer, but today I want to say that I love them.🥰 I like the atmosphere at wonderful Scotland, that you always capture so great in your videos. Many Greetings from Germany. 💙
You will be disappointed. The regular places they visit are in England, not Scotland.
@@Paddy_O-Verload Wether in England or Scotland, the landscape they‘re showing is beautiful.
Your opening scenes are so lovely. The golden sea of wheat brought me to tears(I'm a sentimental old fool :))
Wayhey! I’ve won! 😁😁 I’ll be in touch. Thank you.
Congratulations! Just send us an email and we'll get them posted to you! :)
The pink stone was a nice example of rose quartz. Beautiful
Congratulations to the 2 very lucky winners of the seaglass !!
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
It would be wonderful if you took some of those smooth rocks & painted your logo on them & put them in your shop! Who wouldn't love a memory of our favorite mudlarkers 😁
Don’t think your allow to take shells or rocks for commercial purposes sea glass is ok as it defined as rubbish
Thank you so much for the views of the wheat field! Brought back precious memories of working the farm with my dad!
Scotland has to be one of the most beautiful countries i have ever seen.
Hi from the USA! That beautifully worn pottery just makes my heart happy! It’s truly my choice over the sea glass, even though I love it as well I would be crazy with all the cool rocks and pebbles! You girls are so blessed to have places like that to go to.. that tree lined lane? such beauty!! You both are lovely as well! Your voices are very calming:) thanks for the great videos !
Hello ladies. It is so nice to see you to back together on the hunt for tiny treasures. Unveiling history hidden for centuries just waiting to be found. Thank you ❤.
Beautiful video! Enjoyed seeing the rocky shore with the pieces of pottery, glass and assorted finds! I love seeing all the different types of rocks and pebbles! It would be hard to leave so many behind! Congratulations to the sea glass winners!
This is near where I lived for first 9 yrs of my life. I grew up in Bemersyde near St Boswells … Sir Walter Scott country…I always describe having the most peaceful and lovely childhood. I have visited many times and it always takes my breath away. We were walking distance to the River Tweed and seeing you walking on the stones of my memories filled me with joy. It truly is a little bit of heaven on earth. ❤️
Love these grassy "roads". Something beautiful land comforting about them
I would love a series of 12 videos for the 12 days of Christmas. Each one being a different ornament or craft for the tree made from finds.
Beautiful day out with some beautiful finds too. Congratulations to the winners, take care and thank you for bringing us along with you 👏🙏❤️
Beautiful finds in a beautiful place. Please could you consider making a video of your cleaning process, I’m intrigued by how you get your finds so clean. Sarah x
The trees in the intro of this video took my breath away. The music was beautiful! I had my headphones in, and its about 10:30 at night in Tx right now, and my husband just tapped me on the shoulder because apparently I whispered “WOW!” So i had to show him. His response? “Wow”
Yes! I need to know the music name! Do you know it?
Such strange and wonderful rocks, you could be on a distant planet! 😁
Congratulations to the lucky winners!! 🥳 🎉 👏 👏 👏 ❤❤
The treess along side of the lane are gorgeous. Tall , twisted and majestic. If they could only tell us their stories. It is very beautiful there.
I am so glad you brought the stones and especially the wooden stick fork home.
Yay, for the sea glass winners! I'm a little envious but I will survive!
I just love your videos. So Beautiful.
Just love every adventure. They’re calming and cozy. ❤
I had to buy myself a rock hound book for rocks found in Washington State after I moved here last year. My dad got me into rock hounding and left me a treasure trove of so many rocks and all the machines needed to cut and polish. I would recommend trying to find a book for your country. Another amazing video ladies, truly enjoy sitting down relaxing while watching your videos. ❤
The wheat blowing in the wind is mesmerizing. Your cinematography has spoken to me! You guys definitely need to do some lapidary work on some of those rocks and include them and some of the River glass in your jewelry. Great river to mudlark in!
Second video back in a few years. I really love the progression you have made as an editor, your editing enhances the natural wonder you have for your environment.
Hello Gail and Alex! Yes, the Tweed river was beautiful and all the sea glass is just gorgeous. Loved the odd looking stones and the hag stones were incredible, too cool! Congrats to the winners, enjoy the sea glass. Big hugs and love from Texas!😍😉😁
Wow. That wheat is gorgeous!
Hi ladies! Congrats to the winners!
You 2 are the most amazing people yor shows are the most fascinating brilliant
Enjoy watching your site! Would love to visit your country someday and experience what you do!
Love the music that compliments your channel its very haunting. The river is dry so you can find lots of pottery and gems... Good Luck 🍀
I just love your videos so much. It's so wonderful to see a mother and daughter with shared interests who build each other up. I wish my mum was into the same things I am so we could spend quality time together like this, but we're both so different. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Excellent as always. Congratulations to the winners
Absolutely beautiful entro, that lane is gorgeous, and you always look like your having so much fun.
Greetings ladies! As I watched mother and daughter walking to the river, couldn't help but
think of my mother, long gone now. Would have loved those walks and sharing time, however
we didn't have an amicable relationship. We went our separate ways and never
reconnected again. Keep your love and devotion alive, it is greatly admired by all
daughters and mothers. God bless you, and thank you for sharing.
Hi ya, hey Gail the white edged rock/pebble looks like a fossilised scollop/clam shell.
You could use some of your stones and pebbles to make a garden mosaic in sand or concrete.
This was the most beautiful river I’ve seen in quite a long time. I truly love Scotland and it’s beautiful scenery. You both found such stunning river glass, pottery and many amazing agate’s. Some of the rocks/stones are unimaginable. Very beautiful day for you both ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Great adventure. I even enjoyed seeing the millions of smooth river rocks. They reminded me of an artist in Nova Scotia who used rocks like that from the Bay of Fundy to paint on. He'd paint birds on them using acrylic paints. Most were a size that could be used as paperweights and he'd paint little finches, chickadees, humming birds and the like on them. He was very successful selling them at craft shops etc.. Because they weren't too big or too expensive, they were perfect souvenirs for tourists to remember their trip to Nova Scotia. I once saw him interviewed and he was asked how many he had made. His answer was something like "enough to be able to pay for all his kids to be university educated". 🐦
What a beautiful video! This is where my ancestors are from. - the Young Clan. I think they called them the border reivers
i went to your channel. Lovely old memories of how people used to live. thank you.
More crafting please ladies!
That brass ring thing would make a beautiful sun catcher with the river glass inside it. Maybe with resin fill.
Great haul Ladies! The river area looked amazing. Thank you.☺️💐💐🫶🏻
You could paint a little yacht on the faded blue and white striped piece . It would make a lovely sea scene
Congratulations to the winners
Gale I'm sure the stone you picked up which you said was a conglomerate is a pudding stone.
When I walk the dogs on the beach I always take one nice shell for each walk. I choose it carefully. One of our little dogs used to pick it, I do it in memory of her. If you picked one stone each time, you could border your Rose Garden with a border of pretty pebbles, hag stones and river glass. Just a thought. I mix our shells in amongst the river stones with the succulents. 😊😊😊🌵🌵🌵
Hello ladies. Thank you for letting us tag along. You found some really beautiful finds. ❤❤
Congratulations to the two winners ✌️🤍
I was waiting to hear if you found Dino jobbies lol ❤❤❤❤ watched the lost towers it was awesome what you both did xx
Nice river finds, unusual location. 😊 UK.
The beautiful glass ...I keep seeing little art pained the beautiful blue beach palms sand bit sun blue water. Then covered to shinning clear varnish or silcoin. Anyway your projects for the shop.
Gail, my Mothers Mother was named Lydia. It also means noble one. I love it.
The scenery is so beautiful what a joy it must be for you.
Hi my friends, I enjoyed this video as usual but my favorite thing was the beautiful lane you walked down just so pretty
Excellent video ladies you both are wonderful next time you should bring your electric bikes then you could carry back a few of those agate slabs. 😊
Congrats to the winners ❤
Please do this give away again and give more a chance to win. Congratulations to the winners and thank you Gail and Alex for the give away!
A few weeks ago I stayed just outside Bewick-on-tweed, I walked the beach early each morning to search for fossils/anything. I found many, over 80, good quality carnelians shell fossils but my best find was a potoskey stone, made my year! In suffolk I find carnelians but very few, I do though find lots of shark teeth, my record is 102 in 3 hours! Love your CZcams’s and understand the absolute thrill at finding things.
And….My heart missed a beat when I saw the intro…thought it was one of the lanes I ran down as a child whilst playing near the River Tweed. So many memories rushed in.
How wonderful to live near such beauty. I love to see wheat blowing in the wind. There is a field near me that is on a hill. Just gorgeous when the breezes play with the wheat.
Lovely pieces of glass and pottery and peek a boo pudding dolls I see you . Looks like you both had a great day river larking. Congratulations to your winners 🎉
What a wonderful lark ladies. The trees along the path to the river were so large and so magnificent. I'd be tempted to give them a hug too. The fields of corn blowing in the wind, looked so pretty too.
I loved the softly rounded edges of the pieces of pottery you found. It always amazes me, when a perfect scene is enclosed within the pieces. Great for making jewelery. Gosh and how much river rolled glass did you find. It looked like frozen water all washed clean and sat on the table.
That long piece of brass plate was a great find. I'm sure you'll put that to very good use.
Maybe the brass ring could be made into some kind a frame.
Its deep enough to add some interesting little bits and bobs you've found...maybe.
Lastly...who indeed can resist a Hag stone. The ones you found were so perfect. Especially the first one, with the circular hole.
Thanks for another joyful lark. Xx
I use an app called Rock Identifier which could help in naming the cool unknown rocks
Nice finds! A lap saw would be nice! Or, a tumbler? 😮😊✌🏻❤🙏🏼
And, Congratulations to the winners! 🎉
Aloha Gail and Alex😊🌺
Hello 👋
Greetings from wintery Ballarat Victoria Australia. I love to watch your channels...often as I am getting ready for work. This morning, I had the giggles as every time you said 'River Glass' I heard ''Riverdance'. And I see my favourite mudlarks 'Michael Flattley-ing' along the Tweed! 😅😂😊❤
P.S Is it just me because it's breakfast time... the agates look like bacon!🥓
In Mississippi we have martins chimney sweeps and barn swallows. People raise goards and cut a hole in them and hang them and the martins nest in them.They eat mosquitoes and other insects.
Alex, the scratches on those stones look more like glacial striations.😊
Glad to see that you are feeling better Alex.Cheers to both of you.😊
Wonderful!, I love the blue heart shape glass and the dinosaur poop. 😂
Darn Alex! You should have kept that weird pink rock! I’m thinking it would have been fluorescent (under short wave UV light)!!! Really cool brilliant hot pink glow!
When I watch these videos and you show the land and the music it just makes me feel like there is magic there. It's such a beautiful place. The culture and beauty of Scotland is like no other and I truly hope one day to be able to experience it. Thank you so much for your videos ladies. I always love watching them.
Welcome back Alex. I love the river glass and agates. Loved the video😊
Yay! Thank you!
that first hag stone would make a neat pendant with a leather cord. I could see a neat scene painted on it.❤
Hi.Gail and Alex! Would you have a rock tumbler? All the cool rocks you find with patterns through them could be tumbled to make a nice smooth stone! Oooh a shop!
Wonderful video 👏👋👍😘and the lovely music too.
It sounds like it could be Alex but she said it's not her. But it's so beautiful.
Picture sandstone- so beautiful!
It suddenly struck me why I feel so hopeful when I enjoy your larkings. You say "this will look wonderful when it is all cleaned up." I also look significantly better when I am all cleaned up. So, there is a massive, though not truly visible, connection! :)
Two beautiful ladies in joining their self's 🍀👌
My apologies but did I miss the video you were going to make about your background story? You mentioned that you would be making one. Thank you.
Hello to you both, the walk to the river was really lovely,the leaves rustling in the old beech trees was so nice. Thank you for taking us along, and then finding the amazing treasures. I would love to know who sings the song about A Gordy, that you play very often in your videos. It would be nice if the music you put on was in the description as its really nice. Thanks again, see you next time.......Alioban ❤❤
The river glass is so beautiful - love the pastel colors.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE BREATH TAKING VIEW , I REALY ENJOY THE VIDEOS . 🌹🌹☕
Your pebble at 39:37 looks like a fossilized clam or mussel. I so enjoy your videos and your creative ideas. 😊
Agate bands are so fascinating 😍 lovely video🫶
Lovely video
Greetings from Canada love your finds today and always ❤ good luck in the next finds😂
Hi Gail and Alex, really Alex with that brass piece, did you have to saw off your chastity belt? Ha ha. I liked all of your finds. Wonder how old the axe head was. Great to see you again. Love to the critters. Janice. Xx❤❤
Wonderful! Thank you
You found the best hagstone! Nichole and Craig ( mudlarkers in Scotland) were out scouting, and she wanted one for her own necklace to make. She found one, but honestly it wasn't as perfect as yours.
What a beautiful journey to that ancient river - beautiful photography and you brought home a lovely bundle
Your videos are so very real. It's like being right there you. Feels like family and friends. Thank you.❤❤
Shucks, not the winner. Maybe next time. Love you ladies.
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this! Congratulations to the winners🎉!
Beautiful river glass. And the rocks. Good haul.😀
My late father used go fly fishing with Jackie Charlton on the river tweed
"Two little people and a church by a river" - that could have been you two in exactly that spot many moons ago!
The blue pottery at 8.45 is Italian ware from Spode.
