- This film was made in November. We went looking for a bottle dump and found a new foreshore to explore. It is always fun finding somewhere new to mudlark. We found something that could be very old and very rare! Come along with us and see what we found...
We have a Ko-fi account, so if you wanted to support us by buying us a metaphorical cup of coffee it would be greatly appreciated xx

#THEFINDERS #MUDLARKING
It is so wonderful how supportive Kate is when Oscar shows her his finds. Be safe all.
Bless him he gets very excited when he knows he has found something we will like :)
I loved that too! Kate makes me want to be a better person.
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers cd you are aqqaaaaaaxx xxqaaaZsAqaaqaa a qqq Sc
Beautiful stuff. Any finds are a gift. You and your family bless me with them. I love the hunting scene dish. The marble necklace is gorgeous. Take care and cheers from North Carolina, USA.
Thank you so much :)
Oh it's heart breaking to hear you both sounding so depressed. It's hard to be excited about a third lock down. Don't worry, we are here for you and appreciate your videos. I liked the tiny bottle best.
lol nice one
Thank you so much. It has been quite hard this time but we are bouncing back hopefully in thinking about how to still make videos that viewers would like to watch. I think we are going to have to work that little bit harder in making Sunday crafting films but that is somehow exciting haha :)
Enjoy watching all that you are able to share. Please pray for us in the USA.
Keep safe as you can god bless you all
@@dawnpiper5883 thank you. It is so scary here. Never know what is going to happen next. Covid political so much to deal with at one time.
When ever I’m feeling a bit down....I’ll see one of you girls videos and in watching a hearing your excitement over little bits and bobs (as you say!❤️) I just get cheered right up! You find some really interesting crafting things!!
Thank you so much :)
We are very lucky that you are making an effort during lockdown to keep us up to date with your doings, thank you. I for one am happy to watch you craft and love the skills and imagination you share with us whether indoors or out. It is so important that you stay safe so lockdown is saving your lives, and it is also giving you lots of time to craft and research. Take care.
Thank you so much :)
I know lock-down is awful, but aren't you glad you have these video's to look at and upload?! I am so happy that you have these done ahead of time for our enjoyment. I too find it very hard to get motivated creatively during this time and struggle not to be depressed. It was wonderful to relax and watch as you had such fun treasure hunting. It brings so many folks happiness to see you all enjoying yourselves this way. I look forward to all of your video's. Just to hear Kate laugh or Fleur gasp in surprise, or see Oscar find a marble. It is all such a blessing to know there are folks like you enjoying wonderful adventures together and sharing your good times with us. Be safe, stay healthy, and may God bless you always.
Thank you so much! We are very lucky we have some films! We were always working on the premise we would shut down again. We are sad we can`t go anymore for awhile but it is nice editing the films and remembering :)
May I suggest you watch apron full of stones video about Eyam village in Yorkshire when the plague came,may help you get a new perspective, keep your chin up
Looking forward to seeing your crafting projects. I'm currently sharing lockdown 3 with you from the North West of England. Lancashire to be more exact. I'm a long time doll collector, especially Ball Jointed Dolls (BJDS) So, I'm trying to keep my mind active, and my mood out of the doldrums, but, as you say, it's hard, this is the 3rd lockdown. As an Retired Nurse I understand why, however, as a Mother and a Daughter it's hard when I can't visit family. I love seeing you all together, it's lovely to see you share hobbies and have fun together. I love history, no matter how small, or battered by time, it once belonged to someone who lived so long ago. I always say, that the moment you find something and handle it, there's a connection across time. I think that's what drives us to find out who owned the relics, the bits and bobs, and the scraps we pick up. Just think, one day future larkers will be handling our stuff, I wonder what they will think of us?! I dread to think lol!!
I think Kates right, her tiny part of that badge does appear to be medieval. Once we beat this virus, if you take it along to the Museum, they will be able to match it up for you, and be able to give you more information about age, where its from etc... Take care, stay safe ❤️👍🤗
Thank you so much! I agree about even the smallest and most battered is equally interesting to me also, I like to think of the possibilities :)
Oscar...you are getting quite good at mudlarking! Love your smile when you find a handle. The girls better watch out for you!
:) :) :)
I loved seeing Oscar skipping along !
He is always skipping :)
"Oscar is wearing a Christmas jumper in...... November" priceless. All the treasures for the heart your finding just being together.
But it IS spectacular- always! Such interesting treasures, and fun discoveries. The films are welcome diversions, in this weary world. Love as ever!
Thank you, the world is a little weary at the moment and we are happy we made it a little less weary for a little time :)
The badge looks like part of the first picture...how exciting! Well done Kate for realising what it could be, I would not have had a clue 😁 x
It is on her bucket list find so she has been researching it a lot! It is a shame it is such a small piece :) x
All your films are worthy of a watch, ladies. I laughed out loud when Fleur shouted ‘SLAG!’. She sounded like Smithy on Gavin & Stacy, so I shouted ‘You slag!’ back at her without thinking. Sorry Fleur, but you kinda asked for it X
That's o.k I cant help saying "slag" exuberantly (for exactly that reason) haha :)
Your video's lift my spirits, I hope crafting and doll making will lift yours. KEEP your chins up and stay safe!
Thank you so much!
I Can't begin to tell you how much I've missed your video adventures & art work ! STAY SAFE & GOD BLESS ALL !
Sorry but we will try harder :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers oh no ! please Don't take my comment the wrong way hun ! I so very much love watching you & your family mudlarking & being creative with the treasures you all find ! Fills my heart with joy ! I watch many of the mudlarking people and enjoy all of you ! Wish i could visit & mudlark with everybody ! I'd love to be able to see how your doll house is coming along ! Keep up the fantastic work everybody !! :)
Another wonderful mudlark, you folks are so fun to watch and each video brings such beautiful atmosphere your music choices are perfect. All best.
Thank you very much!
You and Oscar are National Treasures,we are proud to have your natural beauty and enthusiasm, please keep safe!
Thank you, Ladies. Grateful you saved these larks to share with us at this time, strategically serving them up to us, as a sweet dessert. : ) Very exciting for you to find that Medieval badge, Kate. Though the finds were few, it is the quality, not quantity that wins in this hunt. I'm always amazed at how the shards of pottery usually frame an entire scene, as the choice shard you found.
Oscar sure was tickled at finding that perfect (1960s?) marble, as the screw-topped sauce bottle Harry found, most likely was. More than half a century is still pretty old to Oscar. Quite a selection of bonfire glass. You ever consider getting a small rock tumbler for smoothing out the rough edges of them and other pieces of glass that are nearly smooth and too pretty to chance leaving them behind? I found out, by an accidental spaghetti sauce spill, over the side of my stainless, copper clad bottomed pot, that any tomato based sauce will clean copper nicely. No need to run to the market for copper polish, even ketchup will do. The brass tag would be a nice, simple bracelet, by drilling a hole at the other end, bending it slightly, to form to wrist, fasten some copper wire (hammered/textured?) to one end, a hook and ring at the other, to fasten it together, give it a bit of a polish and Wah Lah! Always looking forward to more content from you. Hugs to you both and give Sunny a scratchin' from me.
Thank you that sounds like a lovely idea for the brass tag, we will have try out some sauce on out copper! :)
Hi ladies, please don't despair, it will pass. Meantime, you have inspired me to take a wander onto the edge of local farmland and within the first 20 or so yards I found a Codd marble just sitting on the soil surface, amazing. I also picked up pieces of marmalade jar bases and intend to make a Frankenstein pot base for a candle. I've also found what I think might be wig curler pieces as well as a small perfume bottle and a glass stopper some yards away that fits it perfectly so very pleased with the items found in the space of an hour. We are very happy to watch you craft something in the absence of a walk ... it's all the same in terms of peace and inspiration. Keep up the good work, please. x
Wow that is amazing. It is incredible what you see when you start looking :)
Awesome finds !! Always enjoy your videos . Thank you for sharing😊👍👍👍
I love your dollhouse crafts! It inspires me to start in on my own dollhouse project!
Oh we would love to see :)
Thank you for doing these videos 🐱 it really does brighten up the weekend, things are so difficult at the moment, crafting videos sounds great and dolls , lovely 💞, thank you again for all you do, stay well xx
You are so welcome!
Whatever you choose to film or craft, I'll be here watching it. Making things is keeping me going through this stay at home time. Oscar would like the Rocks Cousteau
channel. He's digging marbles by an old glass factory and there are tons of them!
Oh wow we should watch that! :)
one film a week would make us happy! i love your videos
Another great day ! I do thank the Lord most days for all of you and going some place with you, and learning so many new things with each trip. I do thank you so much for being such lovely people to go exploring with.
Thanks for another fun video! Lockdown isn't fun but no matter what you decide to put out as far as videos will be welcomed! Crafting videos are always great to watch also. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you so much :)
I appreciate anything and everything you guys film and post so no worries there, excited to see what you will do with the doll house! your excitement is contagious!
Thank you so much!
Your family doing these outings together is so heartwarming! Oscar is too cute for mere words!
Thank you so much!
Hello Fleur, Kate and Oscar,
Nice to see you together. Thank you for the adventure. Its welcome.
Liebe Grüße Jette
Thank you! 😃
I must say that very old piece looked remarkably like the picture of the livery badge! Fingers crossed! I'm so glad you are still able to create videos for those of us who can't get out much! Thank you!
Thank you so much :)
Some beautiful finds thank you so much please stay safe kind regards Elaine kayes Cumbria hugs xxxxx
Thank you for your videos. Take care and stay healthy!
Lovely finds, Kate you are a great big sister. You did a great job raising lovely children.
Thank you so much! :)
Hi....Nice video !!! Happy year tu you, I live in Portugal and here we haven't such activity ! Good bye.Conceição de Portugal
Happy new year!
I love any videos you put out. I love the craft videos especially! It doesn't matter to me what you find!
You can use plastic buttons, bits of crayons and little snips of thread to make candles for your dollshouse! Great video as always!!!
I think it's so nice the whole family get's together, and doe's this together. Even though you don't always find the greatest of things, you always have fun. See you next time.
Thank you so much :)
Oh what wonderful finds you all had! The marble in the wire sphere turned out beautifully. I just love the tiny bottle. Thanks as always for sharing:)
Thanks so much!
Chins up ladies! Your films are ALWAYS welcome. Take care. Steph x
Was a nice video along the Thames estuary. The burnt glass was interesting to find and amazing to find the metal badge. I would say it was the same as the picture you showed. Marbles are always a good find. Thank you for sharing
Happy Sunday! Wonderful find of Livery Badge!
Thank you! Happy Sunday :)
I loved the pictures of the orange/ red mushrooms. Gorgeous.
Love from the old lady in Texas USA may God bless you always and forever
Great film.
Thank you :)
U guys, this was fun. Dont ever apologize for entertaining us thru this difficult season. Thank u ever so much.
Lovely video girls and boys brilliant and interesting love your enthusiasm could watch you all night so absorbing keep up the fantastic work
Thank you so much 😁
Hi lovely ladies, so glad to see you keeping motivated, lock down is odd and not very inspiring, so to be able to watch and hear you both is lovely. Stay safe much love Sue Gosling Adelaide south Australia
Ditto ❤❤❤ Much love Teresa, Adelaide SA
@@iamshotty Hi Teresa, we have been so fortunate here, nice to know someone from Adelaide is also watching these lovely ladies. Sue
@@susangosling6122 Yes, we are so very fortunate here and I absolutely adore these lovely ladies and of course little Oscar.. oh and the ever-divine Sunny!! ❤ Teresa
Nice finds guys, the small bottle is my favourite thing. God bless and stay safe and well 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🌹🌹🌹
Thanks so much
I love this👍❣ Thank you
Who would have guessed that lock-down would have lasted sooo long? Ours here in North Carolina started March 3rd 2020. Actually it was the 4th of March. I know because the 3rd was the last day I got to spend with my son. So many tragedies. I have finally learned to accept things because we cannot change what has happened.
I love your channel and I thank Gail and Alex for recommending it.
We missed Sunny! Where was he this time? We hope he’s Okay? And the pilgrim’s badge looks like Victorian era stamped filigree to my eye. I have a bit of that in my jewelry making stuff. The design seems to be a bunch of flowers? And we agree those odd skinny metal tipped ceramic things are some type of fuse, which matches what your other viewers are saying. I’m so sorry you girls are locked down yet again. Us too for the most part in CA USA. Just essentials and then go back home. Waiting my turn for the vaccine. Not too soon for me! Keep making your craft videos! I love them and so look forward to my Sunday CZcams breakfast shows to enjoy while eating. It’s my routine! Keep up the great work!
I'm guessing we don't see Sunny anymore because they are doing the round-ups from their new crafting station in the shed, & Sunny's in the house. I'm sure they would let us all know if something happened to Sunny, because he has his own fan club. LOL
@@noraleestone2859 Thank you for explaining that! I didn’t realize they weren’t in the house? So much for my powers of observation! :/
Thank you! Sunny is fine he just does not jump up on the crafting table as much as he did when we round up on the floor but we will be putting some footage up of him soon :)
Mudlarking With Kit & Caboodlers Thanks for the update! I feel better now.
Some of the lumps look like branches or twisted miniature tree trunks.
Thank you for brightening my day. Its depressing here in the USA with our political division and things only looking worse.
You gals and Oscar make me keep hoping that we ALL...humanity...will be ok because we are still able to see the beauty in simplicity.
Oh thank you that is a lovely thing to say. Yes thinks seem bad everywhere at the moment!
All of you stay safe!! We too here in California have that
Pretty the same thing going on,, we are all in this Together!!
Maybe not so much this week but even the smallest things you make it interesting for us. Well done both of you. Fingers crossed for a early end to lockdown. Xx
Thanks so much!
Glad to visit with you. Be safe.
Thank you for a great video it made my sunday.stay safe...V...
Thank you! x
But that broken marble lets us see what's on the inside and it's beautiful!!!
I agree :)
Your productivity is amazing! Fingers crossed for a gradual easing of lockdown by March.
Our fingers are very crossed :)
It's a great experience looking for things, I did it with my son( now 18years old) and his pals when they were younger, there teacher was so excited about the things that they found in our local rivers & seaside , they still love looking for things
Lovely video, some lovely melted glass. Looking forward to crafting video, I miss the last one u didn't put up.
Thank you! 😊
My favorite time of the week. BTW we had some snow today. Finally!! and I had a walk in our forest.
I am jealous we would love some snow! We have so little here :)
Lots of wonderful finds.
Congrats on all your finds
The search is most of the fun in a treasure hunt. Don't feel bad about not finding many things. 😊
The hunt is fun! If it a slow day of finds you get more exciting when you do find something interesting, especially somewhere you have not been before :)
Amazing what that little foreshore has in terms of treasures! German marbles are always a favourite, no matter how bashed they are :) I wondered if the letter was from the famous Dove typeface....
I would love to find some Dove type face one day! It is a fascinating story :)
There has to be a day that we will no longer be quarantined and I look forward to that day. Other than the odd day that we go to the grocery store I’ve been at home for an unbearable amount of time. Please continue to post as you can so I can come along hunt with y’all.
Kate I enjoy watching the interaction between you and Oscar. You are building memories that you both will share for a lifetime. Your a amazing sister.
Kindest regards,
GHJ
Thank you so much :)
Awesome findings...really enjoyed
STAY cool N HAPPY n Healthy and ENJOY
With Love from SAM
Guwahati Assam INDIA
Thank you! Stay happy and healthy too :)
I love that you found that marble the way it was. The breakage reveals it's inner beauty, and the craftsmanship can be observed. I'd E6000 a small sterling silver cap with loop onto marble, add a silver jump ring and put that beauty on a silver chain to really see it. Lovely.
That would be lovely! i find another marble in a video soon in a similar condition maybe I could do that with it :)
Awesome adventure so wonderful how you all mudlark together each time you go out it’s beautiful ☺️ I imagine being outside at the beach 🏖 or orchard bottle dump so much fun
Thank you so much :)
Hooray!!!! Missed you two beautiful ladies!!!!! Stay well!💕
We will always post on a Sunday definitely, not sure what we will post in the end but always something haha :)
I don't seem to get tired of your videos. You say do you see it, ah no. Ha enjoy very much. Know how you feel about being in lock down. Take care
😊 thank you
I believe the mushroom you found is Hygrocybe singeri Beautiful color!. Love the campfire glass and beautiful colors of that and the slag glass, they say you can tumble them up nicely. Nice finds!
Wow that is a cool name for a mushroom :)
Loved all the findings! Treasures! Great video!
Thanks so much! :)
Lovely video, thank you🇨🇦☮️
Thank you another wonderful video, love the bonfire glass. Looking forward to next video, stay happy ❤️from Ontario Canada
Thanks so much! :)
Yay Oscar I have so many marbles like that he is having a great time!!!
Yes Bonnie, I agree Oscar delights in showing Kate his finds and what a beautific smile he has. I love everything you do, bottle hunting, glass collecting, doll creating, its all wonderful. Is the bridge in the background the Dartford Elizabeth the 2nds bridge ? So far in the distance the mist would hide the long strutts. Are they called strutts the long tension steel rods supporting the weight. Sorry I digress. Please put up any bits of film from anywhere its all food for the soul. Thank you Love and Light 😊
So good to see you guys back in action. May this year be a better one. Ian andSue
Way to go Oscar!!! Congrats on all your finds
Be safe. Very nice.
Thank you! We are trying to stay safe but all we want to do is mudlark but we are not :)
❤❤❤😊😊😊 thanks for sharing your video
to pick up or not - 'Oh it was nearly something!' mmm almost everything you
select is... you made me giggle
:) :) :)
I didn’t get my alert to your new video! Lucky I saw it on the sidebar.
That is odd! :)
Yep, motivation is hard! But your videos brighten things up 💚 I found half a marble myself last week so yours was probably my favourite find in this video. So exciting to see the colours gleaming in the mud however bashed up they are. Stay safe.
I agree the colours shone in the mud :)
I'm betting you're right! Hooray for Medieval things!
@19:00 Did the little bottle have dried ink in it? A thoroughly satisfying mudlark...especially the badge that Kate found. Good show!
It did I think or some residue it fell apart when it was washed :)
Hey Dad, glad you are here again
Oh my goodness! The things you’ve found there I think most of us followers would be thrilled to find so don’t worry about “not finding much”. 😊 Bonfire glass is beautiful. Imagine a vase filled with bonfire glass and water.... It would be like a stained glass piece of art.
Chin up during this lockdown, it gives us more excuse to craft. You inspired me to try making a tiny rag doll (no mudlarking spots here that I can find so no dolls heads). I have completed my doll but I’m tearing my hair out because I have no idea how to make clothes for her! 😫 I hope one of your doll crafting videos, shows us how to make tiny clothes ☺️
We are not that great at making clothes we sort of make it up but I am thinking of maybe making `Fancy` a posh coat :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers You are much better than me! I’m sure you’d laugh if you saw how badly sewn my little doll is too! My Great Grandma was a seamstress and I’m sure she watches me in dismay 😅 I’m sure that your coat for Fancy will tun out beautiful as always. You could give her a parasol too maybe?
Always a nice Sunday, with Kit & Cabs
Thank you :) :) :)
Oscar is always a happy chappy! A paint pan would make a cool little Belfast sink in Bitsy's house! (hope I spelled her name correctly) Still blown away by how many videos you guys have made!
That would be super cute! We have actually made many more but have made them private because of a music issue :)
That spiral pendant is great for saging small finds to wear!!
Yes you need to put one of your marbles you found in it and wear!!
They are great :)
The old fence post on the pottery shard could be a folly? Loved the video as always.keep safe. X
Thank you :) x
Nice film, really enjoyed it. I've known a few pretty slags in my time. Keep your chins and spirits up. We need you to get us through. If you posted a film of you doing the dishes, I'd watch it.
Hahaha I hope it doesn't quite come to that :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers Let's hope not. I'm back afloat now so I will look forward to your films even more than usual. Strange to tell but they are a connection to home and normality for me.
I keep looking at the sea urchin buttons. They could be rather old because the remind me of beads done by the Chumash Indians of California. Not saying you have Native Americans running around your shores, but they may have been made a long time ago. Food for thought.
They are odd things I think I need to research them more! :)
God day to you two.I love your video I am subscribe to all the mudlarker and you are my favourite. I am sorry my english is limited I am french Canadien from province of Quebec.You are a beautiful family .Best to you to Marie Hélène
Thank you so much :) x
I think Si and maybe Nicola would be the best people to ask about the badge. One of them has found a Pilgrim badge Kate.
Hi Fleur, Kate , Oscar, it’s only natural to feel at a loss on lockdown. But, chin up we are all in this together. I for one am not going anywhere. I love to watch you create, talk, brainstorm. It’s ok to not feel to creative. Maybe you can show us things laying around in your collections. It just might inspire you or maybe we can give you ideas once we see what you have on hand. One viewer mentioned Rocks Cousteau a dump digging, arrowhead hunting mostly marble digging fellow. His channel is very kid friendly he’s a nice guy. Stay positive, keep the Faith and have fun. Joyce from Connecticut, U.S.A.🇺🇸. ARROW *🎱 ❤️
Thank you so much! We are starting to feel a little more creative hopefully, this lockdown just took the wind out of our sails (literally) for a moment :)
Ha, ha. Could you hear me shouting take the nails, take the nails! Big juicy copper alloy nails.😁 Too bad you didn't have your scraper. Where you find lots metal there should be other exciting metal pieces. Maybe even coins or pins. Yet another satisfying video. Thank you for that. 💓
I was saying exactly the same thing! Why didn't yo take the square nails? Enquiring minds want to know, eh? ROFL
It took us by surprise that we would find somewhere to scrape. We will definitely be going back with scraping tools in hand haha :) We have quite a lot of nails already :)
If you find some more nails square or copper and extra pins can you pick some up to sell? I would love to get some to make jewelry from. At the moment I am using horse shoe nails but I would love to use historical items for this. They don't even have to be particularly old.
Such great finds like always.. the badge being particularly interesting. If you haven’t already maybe you could familiarize yourselves with the local mushrooms .. in North America they are a delicious addition to most meals.. surely there are edible ones in the British Islands as well? Maybe not.. I guess now I have something to research.. thanks for another enjoyable video.
There are edible mushroom just a bit scared we would poison ourselves! :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers no , you definitely don’t want to do that.
