#MUDLARKING
An enchanted forest dump. Lovely bird songs and and lots of mossy growth. Magical.
Mary, I was thinking the same thing!❤
Over on this side of the pond, we pronounce the shell “a-buh-lone-ee”, and the oval shells are lovely. When I was young (I’m in my 70’s), we would find lots of the shells along the California shores. Plus, we loved eating abalone “steaks”. They were delicious! They virtually disappeared in the wild.
We pronounce it the same as you do over here in Australia too.😊
The shell piece could be used as a Christmas decoration. Have you ever thought of making nature videos ? The clips you show are wonderful and how lucky to hear a Nightingale. Finally I must say Kate you have the most beautiful hair x
Love all your finds, and the birds singing ❤❤
It's a shame that the common nightingale isn't so common now.But what beautiful birdsong.Some great finds.
I bet your house is so interesting. I know we have seen little snippets and you are private people. Thank you for letting us see into your existence 😊
Oh wow, you’ve found a nightingale! It’s song is so unbelievably beautiful and so strong for such a tiny bird…
A film of the woods plus the bird songs would make a lovely relaxation tape 🌲🌳🪺🐦⬛
More than once I thought I saw garlic mustard growing. It's an invasive plant here in the States, and I just pulled most of it up out of my yard this morning. My town - near Boston - has an official 'pull up the garlic mustard' program to save native plants.
Here in the UK it's the food plant for Orange Tip butterfly
You should take home pieces off the lilac bush you were standing next to when looking for the birds, the cutting's can be rooted and planted by your house.
The black bottle stopper seems made from a material called Ebonite. It was invented by Charles Goodyear in 1844 and replaced widely-used wooden bottle stoppers, which tended to soak up liquids and caused many bottles to explode.
Honey bees are the ones that will die after stinging. Bumble bees do not lose their stingers, but they can sting more than once.
Correct. And bumblebees sting much less often than honeybees. They are more docile.
I love the idea of visible mending. Anyone that does mending should leave a mark saying “I WAS HERE” ♥️
Abalone tends to be more grey, brown or green and has more swirls. I think your find is mother-of-pearl. That would be from an oyster.
The song...OH I WISH I WAS A PUNK ROCKER WITH FLOWERS IN MY HAIR
Or maybe a hippy with flowers in their hair.!!!
The Nightingale song was heavenly
36:50 I wonder if it is smokey quartz? That was popular in the Art Deco era. Other than that, I wonder if it was leaded and the heat from the tip burning has discolored it? Could also be (rare) scapolite (although I don’t think it is due to the clarity). Take it in to an antique dealer.
I think, but don't quote me, the stopper has a lot of lead in it.
Glass like that was used in industrial glass to make it more magnetically and electrically inert making it safer to store certain chemicals.
But I could be wrong 😊
It might be Smokey quartz…
Your little ointment pot would be cute as a cushioned footstool for the doll's house, or make a pin cushion for when you are mending.🥰🥰🥰
Loved hearing the birds. Your sherd stories are always great. Hugs to Sunny. I think Abalone is a bluish, green, to pinkish shell. I believe your object was mother-of-pearl.
Hello Fleur and Kate. The leaf shaped beauty you found Kate, isn't Abalone. Abalone is a petrol blue green pink colour. Part of a shells layers. The very pretty leaf you found, was by the looks of it, a mother of pearl layer, as it looked white. It was such a lovely find, perfect in the surroundings it was found in. Nature makes everything better. How beautiful the dump looked. Green mosses, the dreaded nettles and those beautiful wild strawberries. Along with the trees... and big fat bumble bees looking for places to nest or feed. Beautiful.
I loved the stoneware items. They will be put to such good use in your dreamed about kitchen Kate. I hope when that day comes, you will show us your kitchen. 😊
A very enjoyable lark. Thank you for taking us along. X
I absolutely love morels they are my favorite mushroom and so delicious 😋 we have neen hunting them here and I have some in my refrigerator right now. Thanks for the upload I love watching you and your mom wherever you go. I would love to see more charity shops and maybe a Farmers Market as well as your allotment and how it's growing, what you're eating from it, possibly how you use what you're growing. Love you both and whatever you're up to.
I don’t know what I enjoyed more, the birds or the finds or maybe the purring. Thank you both for the sweet video.
I'm also a birder in my part of the globe
Thank you for sharing the sounds and sights from yours.
The bird song is incredible. Thank you for sharing😊
Yes. Your videos have improved. I think that decorative curved piece of metal is an old curtain rod support.
11:45 You should make that metal shape into a old bath tub, like one you'd have in front of a fire an have to fill manually. Just an idea, so glad to see you out an able to enjoy a good lark. Cheers! Matt USA
What a great place, stuff to find everywhere! I really like the little stoneware bottle & crock, but I have to say, my favorite is the bottle with man on horse. That would certainly be cleaned up and placed upon my shelf! Happy Hunting!
The gray bottle stop is probably smoky quartz.
Am sure that small white item is part of a collar stud if wearing a wrap around collar
Fun fact: I’m from Pittsburgh PA USA and we call wood louse …potato bugs! No idea why!
In southern Indiana we call them Rolly Polly bugs.
They're called the same in most of the other states also@livingwithjane0654
I grew up calling them pill bugs here in eastern North Carolina. I reckon it's because they roll up into a round pill shape. Roly poly bugs is another good name for them.
They're Pill Bugs here in California.
I’ve never heard pill bug! 🧐😆
So many great bottles and goodies.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The mother of pearl leaf reminds me of an escutcheon 🗝️
You deserve nothing less than a nightingale serenading you. Good to see your fame starting to grow. As usual you are totally delightful.
The glass shaped leaf shaped item could be some type of agate.
I also could not find anything close to your grey bottle stopper.
I love all the birds calling out or singing
Could it be marble? The ‘swirl’ made me think it might be a natural stone, and perhaps they are rare because they were made from scrap from larger projects? Just a guess! I think the terracotta colored vase would be beautiful if you put gold leaf along the broken edge (just a little). It would be lovely with wildflowers! Beautiful finds!
😊 Abalone is the colorful one the white is mother of pearl❤
55:39 I love Sunny cat’s appearances! 🥰
Yippee 🎉 are Steven is 1st..what a lovely bird song..what more can you wich for treasures nice music and you 2❤❤
I really wish I could go mud larking with you guys. It looks like so much fun. But it is good seeing a new video from you guys. I enjoy you ladies more than you know. God bless you and your family.
Mother of pearl is from nacre, a protective layer from a mollusk such as abolone or oyster shell its the first inner layer.
a pearl is also nacre, Pearls are formed when an irritant, such as a bit of food, a grain of sand, bacteria, or even a piece of the mollusk's mantle becomes trapped in the mollusk. And the nacre part of shell grows around it, to protect the freshwater mussels or marrine oysters.
Abalone shell is a gastropod mollusk, and all parts are used commercially.
Katie I think maybe that grey bottle stop could be a tiny weight .that's why it could weigh differently x
Do you ever search your bottles to see if the stoppers fit?
Larking with the nightingale! A lovely little wander in a lovely little forest, such fun finds too, especially the mother of pearl leaf. I think perhaps it's one half of a dress buckle. Sherd story was a wild ride! And so odd to run a tea room for an 'above average' customer, over a butchers!? Which in the 1880s was quite a grotesque scene...
I think it would be very cool to make a miniature farm!
You all on the British Isles are so lucky not to have to worry about snakes. I am always watching for them in the trees above the creek that I mudlark in. Sometimes it gets a bit wearisome 😟
Hi Kaye.
@@mamasgonecreating1967 Brenda 🫂❤️👋
The melted bottle stop would make a lovely mushroom.😊
Here is another suggestion for the grey bottle stopper... possibly Ebonite?
Thank you both for such a beautiful video. The tranquil music, the lovely bird song, flowers and greenery, absolutely perfect. And of course all the treasures that you found.
Thanks again, for taking us on this journey with you.
You should have had dad cut down that R. Whites bottle. It would have made a great beverage glass. It had such bold and beautiful embossing.
It was wonderful.
Beautiful bird song, beautiful area and such wonderful treasures 😍❤️ thank you Kate and Fleur
How wonderful that you got a CZcams comment. I started watching you for the start and the growth that you have done in AMAZING. Love this channel!
It's never too soon to start your Hope Chest.❤❤❤❤❤😊
It almost looks like a broken mortar/pestle bowl
Beautiful bird song magical place xxx
the pipebowls really look like a flock of birds or chickens standing together like that in the roundup
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉happy😊!
The outer web says Madras is a Victorian era china from a region in India. Thanks for the video 🌻
the thing at 4:49 i reckon used to be some form of decorative candle holder!
The stone ware is beautiful i love those ,i was excited to see there was a long treasures hunt to watch .I have ask people where there was some old dumps around here but cant fine any .I find little shareds on my farm so i can make a small table top .😊😊😊😊
Mother of pearl usually lighter w/ peachy/pink tones, and abalone is a bit darker or deeper-colored with bluish, grayish, and maybe green and purple tones. What a lovely piece that was. Maybe a hair or hat clip if not a pin? Thanks for another happy lark. Thoroughly enjoyed.
You have never been awful, each of your videos is wonderful right from the beginning. Thank you and cheers. Maybe “Paris” is the word on the metal sign. Sunny purring is the most relaxing sound.
The bottle stop maybe Soapstone also know as Steatite, from the way you are describing it , but that would be my best guess ,.
Hello my Favorite Ladies just saw your new video notification, and i get all excited 😊 to watch everytime, with your company and the birds & bees 🐝 buzzing anything is possible 💫 Thanks Always🙋♀️🙃🪂🌸🍄
The cap could be a foot stool in a doll's house.
The half ball object is a match holder, they would sit in the hole and then you strike it on the rough sides 👍🏻
I would love for you both to do a Q&A sometime soon , I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels it would be so lovely to get to know you both a little bit more 🌹
Thankyou Ladies, for a beautiful walk in nature, wonderful old finds, & that glorious song of the nightengale, I've never heard one before, juust gorgeous!!
The videography in your videos is lovely and relaxing, always makes me look forward to a new one.
Yay!!!!!! ♥️ Today is the rest of April 🤣🤦♀️🥰
Could the grey stopper be made of Soapstone ! It was a stone used for Many
purposes in the 19 century. Often Soapstone kitchen sinks were preferred by homeowners.
Soapstone is I think soft enough to carve and polish into many objects.
Hope it is Soapstone. Happy for you whatever it is.
Love the mother of pearl pendant or brooch piece. Thanks for sharing.
Namaste. Carpe Diem.
If you re-polish the Abalone it will bring out the multi colours again. The stopper could be Grey Chalcedony.
Hay,your flowers have hair in them!Your editing & videography on your videos is fantastic!Lovely Lark Ladies!❤
OOh, I'm so excited. I've been waiting for you to find some Ridgway china...and you finally did!
Could the glass bowl thingy be an inkwell?
Oooohhhhh, the grey stopper is beautiful!! When you said it is heavy I thought perhaps it is leaded glass but it is a darker grey than any leaded glass I have ever seen before. I hope someone can identify it for you.
Brilliant video with a nightingale singing in the background. The toadstools were stinkhorns and def not edible
Yes they made bottle stops out of many types of stone . Oldest ones are stone or marble .
The only thing I can think of that the gray bottle stopper could be made of, possibly led crystal. Another great video. ❤
really enjoy your shot of nature. beautiful stoneware. thanx!
What a way to start a video with that beautiful birdsong, brought a smile to my face, and I noticed the lilac tree too, it’s the one that I want for my garden do you know what type it is Fleur?, or does anyone else know?, well ladies you certainly worked hard on this one, and you found some wonderful treasures, tfs x Julie
The stone bottles and jars you guys get are so rare in America they are worth a hundred dollars each some 150 to 200 dollars. I have hundreds of bottles in my collection but not one stone bottle type because stoneware is so costly.
I've missed you 2! I hit subscribe 4 times, so I surely should see more of your wonderful videos!😊 really enjoyed watching this! Thanks so much 😊😊😊
Hello from Tennessee USA you Ladies are awesome love your videos and your adventures. thank you for sharing your finds
What a lovely forest of birdsong, spring flowers and I would have been lost forever 🙄 I just love the conversations and laughter and yes, your channel has evolved wonderfully 🤗 Could the stopper be lead crystal ? It would definitely be heavier than regular glass. Again, you both have brightened my day and the sherd story was amazing ! Much love and hugs, stay well and kiss Sunny for me 🥰🥰 xx
Hello ladies ❤️ omg I love the stoneware bottles and jar❤ and the little brown bottles. I think that bottle stopper was carved from stone. Awesome 👍
The beauty of Nature is Astounding ❤️
I always adore this site love still finding things.
That pot/canister w hole on side of it, could make it into a dolls house.
The birdsong on the video was mixing with the birdsongs out my window, I wasn't sure who I was listening to! Of your finds, that big stoneware jar is amazing I'm glad you took it. It's interesting to think that teahouse/restaurant is still around, you should definitely try to go there! Those wild strawberries would benefit from a little thinning, if it isn't illegal you should gather a few plants for your allotment...
I saw a male cardinal today. They are so stunning.
Great finds ladies i do love Sunny’s purr 🐈⬛💕💕💕💕💕
I thought Park for the sign.
All such useful things. I really love the grey bottle stopper.
The plant pot is fabulous.
To hold such old thing 😊
Things, not thing...😂
I love how you mudlarkers include nature into your videos. and the beautiful accompanying music to it, too - it is all greatly appreciated. Now, that heavy grey glass stopper - could it be lead crystal? It would account for the added weight and colour. What do you reckon?
She going to save those thing up in a hope chest for the future.
Interesting finds!
😊😊😊😊
I loved the metal cuff you found and you didn’t mention it in the round up but I see it as a fabulous tub. For dolls of course.
Beautiful spring birdsong!👍🏼💜
