#marbles #mudlarking #metaldetecting We finished another week of some fantastic finds. Washed out mud revealed a score of vintage bottles, pottery pieces, marbles, milk glass and some mystery finds.
So much to love in this episode. The cute little bottles, the adorable, cute little dwt of a perfume bottle (dwt; Welsh for tiny-rhymes with ‘put’), lovely milk glass-there’s something so appealing about milk glass, I can’t resist it. The blue in that ginormous milk of magnesia bottle is incredible. The incomplete plaque type metal object is interesting, definitely an Art Deco piece I would say. The mudlarking in the brook is my absolute favourite. It’s very soothing and so much stuff to be found. I often watch these while going to sleep, then have to watch it again to see what I missed!
I've watched most of the UK mudlarkers, and decided I needed to expand my search for American mudlarkers. Well low and behold I landed here! I love that y'all metal detect as well. I'm following you now. Great finds. Than you.
I already it hit the like button before I even watch it lol love 💕 your vids from a 58 yr old sutrvivor of electric burns 🥵 watching you wishing it were me 🇨🇦
Wow Mary! You are the definition of Strength! If I could I would switch places at least just once with you so you could enjoy one of my hunts in person because I do truly love it. Thanks for watching Mary, hope I can continue to bring you even a little bit of joy. Be well.
Maybe where you are sailing men made bone and even whalebone thimbles for their girls onshore. Lots of folks losing their marbles down your way! Great little dinky perfume sampler....wonder if it's Shalimar? That says grandmother to me! Love your stress relieving videos and the birdsong is a bonus! Keep digging!
Just don’t lose your marbles !That thimble is cool. Mary 😇. What is it , the metal plate,? See? Don’t lose your marbles. So many bodacious finds! Sewing machine Another piece or two of beautiful metal! Excellent video… The birdsong was so perfect, and the marsh looked pretty today too. 😎
Hi, I’m better late than never watching today. I love the marbles and the tiny bottles. Everything is interesting that you find. Enjoy watching. Have a great weekend. Joy from Connecticut 🇺🇸. 😎. 🏹🎱.
@Marilyn Dreamwalker Mejorado hi Marilyn!, I’m in Nj, thank goodness we do not have Rattlers here. Plenty of snakes but not much to worry about, thanks for watching!
Finally- Thanks for mentioning the Graphite rods. I've dug those over the years and had no clue what they were. The brass item.. RAY maybe Raybestos?? . Have a great weekend.👍
Love the bone thimble, the little bottles and the cobalt blue bottle. That little red bead had me thinking about Indian trade beads from that area👋👍. That building scene is terrific
My first thought on the mystery metal scene, was a crumb catcher/dust pan…the scene is definitely the Chicago World’s Fair (1933-ish)…I recognized it from when I was researching a mystery metal scene myself! Lol I did a quick search though, and I couldn’t find any souvenir pans or plates with the same edging 🤷🏻♀️ but maybe that helps you with your research! Thanks for another fun video!
Yes!, thanks so much. I could not place the scene. Amazing how much you learn just through researching items(that you are interested in) . Probably a tactic that would have helped me in school, lol. Thanks again my friend from Alaska!
@@underthesurface4435 anytime! Glad to help! And seriously! If they had taught history with mudlarking and beachcombing, I’d have gotten better grades 😂 I’ve definitely learned more about my hometown in the past year, from random things I’ve found, than I expected to! Lol and, I agree, it’s totally therapeutic! I’ve yet to figure out my metal detector, but there is so much metal on our beach (vintage landfill) that it’s really not worth it to bring it…I tried it out at an old picnic area once and just found nails lol my kids weren’t impressed 😂 one of these days 😂
@@alaskandistractions lol, always a tough crowd to impress, and yes the landfill I found here is tough on the detector, but great on tidal wash. Have a great day.
Ugh I really want to do this! I live in Florida though and I’m terrified that a gator is going to jump up and get me while I’m scavenging in murky waters lol
Another awesome hunt!!! Love the finds...the thimble is beautiful, and I always enjoy the tiny bottles. Not telling what that bit of metal with the scene on it is, but it is amazing:)
Thanks Kathi, have not been able to figure it out, either. Buildings with a bridge in the background, some lettering on the bottom maybe describing the pic, but can only make out the word “travel”. Thanks for watching!, have a great day!
Green headed flyes, noceums, and the skeeters can be bad. I use a great organic bug repellent that works wonders, but does not discriminate….keeps everything away, humans included, lol. Thanks for watching, Doug.
Thanks for the info on the marble, I’m a rookie with marble info but starting to build a big interest....just tested the thimble with hot needle test, coming up plastic, oh well, thanks for watching Paul!
Hi Jean, My brother found the specs online how to make one and it is designed for water metal detecting. Very convenient when the hand shovel sifter is hard to manage in the water.
@@clairvoyant1290 just at a quick glance , it could be helpful to search some of those rivers that happen to be lower than usual. Sometimes you can find older bottle dumps on these rivers. Oklahoma Mudlarker seems to do well along river banks.

Ah thanks so much my friend, the brook is my happy place

Aaaah, thanks so much! Happy to have you aboard…..and you are very welcome!
enjoyed seeing the finds well done
Thanks so much!
That weird bone is an equine thoracic vertebrae. I love it when you told the girl the birds would pull her into the holes.🤣
Aaaaah!!, a horse rib attached to a vertebra, so cool!!thanks Carin, and just a bit of fear never hurt anyone, lol.
Every time you find a marble, I get a little jealous! 😂 I love finding marbles, sadly itdoesn’t happen often
lol, well… just found a broken one..
Some of those small to tiny bottles might have held some Holy Water….what fun. Tu..Massachusetts
That’s very interesting and I’m sure they could have….great bit of info, thanks Mary!, from Massachusetts, have a great day!

Great way to start my day, 1st cup of coffee and Under the Surface. Thank you.
Love that coffee!!, well thanks for starting the day with us , Lovely Skull!
Maybe where you are sailing men made bone and even whalebone thimbles for their girls onshore. Lots of folks losing their marbles down your way! Great little dinky perfume sampler....wonder if it's Shalimar? That says grandmother to me! Love your stress relieving videos and the birdsong is a bonus! Keep digging!
That could very well be and yes lots of lost marbles, hehehe...Shalimar, yes! Less stress is best!, have a great day.
Rocks Cousteau channel is good for marble info....he finds handfuls! Apparently lots of marbles are lost in his area! Enjoy!
@@impunitythebagpuss excellent!, thanks I’ll check it out.
Your "gas switch cover" had me fooled. I though it looked like a Polynesian mask!
Lol, that’s funny, I wish it was. It does have an interesting design to it.
A great video ✨✨✨✨✨
Thanks James!!
Good video.
Thanks Tina!!!
My kind of hunting, injoey watching
Thanks Jimmy!

Thanks Joyce!!! You are never late watching my videos, so happy you enjoy !you have a great weekend also, sending wellness up to you from NJ.
That is the coolest, littlest bottle I've ever seen!
I agree Cathy!!
That thimble is really cool! Great lark again!❤
Thanks Jenny, that was a particularly fun lark.
Always fun going with you. You find so many marbles what does that say about American people. 😁👍✌️🙏
Lol, I know exactly what it sais….Easy time losing there marbles!!!
Always a grat treasure hunt. The surprise reveal when you turn things over or wash them! Very peaceful spot there in the marsh.
Thanks Geoff, we all need to find a peaceful spot. Thanks for watching.
Loved your finds! Favorites are tiny perfume bottle with black lid and red bead. Always love the marbles. The last one was especially beautiful.
Thanks Pam. I’m amassing quite a collection of tiny perfumes and I’m loving them, the marbles also. Have a great day!
@Marilyn Dreamwalker Mejorado hi Marilyn!, I’m in Nj, thank goodness we do not have Rattlers here. Plenty of snakes but not much to worry about, thanks for watching!
Finally- Thanks for mentioning the Graphite rods. I've dug those over the years and had no clue what they were. The brass item.. RAY maybe
Raybestos?? . Have a great weekend.👍
Your welcome John!, will look up Raybestos. You have a great weekend also!!
Don’t stick your hand in they will pull you right in 😂 that got me
Lol, thanks James, you appreciate goofy humor I see.
Love the bone thimble, the little bottles and the cobalt blue bottle. That little red bead had me thinking about Indian trade beads from that area👋👍. That building scene is terrific
Thanks guys, that would be awesome if it was a trade bead, not so sure how to authenticate that. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@underthesurface4435 love hearing the birds
@@TeamLynchBMD yes, it’s funny because the closer I get to their nests the louder they chirp at me. So many in this area.
Wow! Cliff swallows! I've been wondering which birds were making the twittering sounds.
Thanks for showing that! :-D
Yes, they are very cool little birds, we have many of them around. Thanks for watching my friend have a great day!
sweet spoon!!! you are steadily adding to your marble collection!! :)
Loving the marbles and still researching them, wow a lot to learn about a marble!

Walking along the mud bottom so as to not disturb and cloud the water must be the best Ninja training ever.
Exactly!!!! That’s right up my alley. lol. It’s so funny because I use that expression so often.
good hunts brother. Love the black and white marble👍🤠🍻🍔
Thanks my friend
Ugh I really want to do this! I live in Florida though and I’m terrified that a gator is going to jump up and get me while I’m scavenging in murky waters lol
I do not blame you…. I’m hesitant and all we have are non poisonous water snakes., thanks for watching!
Maybe try a small whisk broom in the water to clear off the top layer of crud?
Great idea, thanks!!
@@underthesurface4435 You're very welcome. I hope that it works.
Very interesting enjoyable vlog!
Thanks Karyn, have a great day!
If I'm not mistaken, the ruler joint you found is a piece of a Lufkin brand ruler. Great finds BTW!
Cool, nice identification, thanks!, my friend.
❤️
Right back at ya , Marcie.
Great finds. You definitely have better eyesight than I do. Half the stuff you picked up, I couldn't see until you held it in front of the camera.
Thanks Robert, my up close vision is spot on…. But my distance is failing, glasses soon.
That greenish glass will change colors if to put a black light on it
Thanks Chris , will do that!
Another awesome hunt!!! Love the finds...the thimble is beautiful, and I always enjoy the tiny bottles. Not telling what that bit of metal with the scene on it is, but it is amazing:)

Damn the skeeters mush have bitten you'd to death .The state bird of N.J.
Green headed flyes, noceums, and the skeeters can be bad. I use a great organic bug repellent that works wonders, but does not discriminate….keeps everything away, humans included, lol. Thanks for watching, Doug.
The black and white marble looks like a Peltier Peerless Patch marble.....I’m wondering if the thimble could be ivory.
Thanks for the info on the marble, I’m a rookie with marble info but starting to build a big interest....just tested the thimble with hot needle test, coming up plastic, oh well, thanks for watching Paul!
Maybe old pewter plate?
That could very well be, thanks John.
Are those blue floating baskets designed for this hobby or did you/your brother make it?
Rayovac?
Hi Jean, My brother found the specs online how to make one and it is designed for water metal detecting. Very convenient when the hand shovel sifter is hard to manage in the water.
*thank
I think the thimble looks like a porcelain one.
Thanks Ken, I think you are correct!
I just discovered your channel. Love it! What state do you do all this mudlarking in?
Well welcome to the channel, Aria. I’m in New Jersey .
Добрый день! Для чего нужны стеклянные шары? Это было украшение?
Yes, decoration could have been the use, thanks for watching.
@@underthesurface4435 Большое спасибо за ответ! Это очень прекрасно! Очень хорошие виды природы! Ещё раз спасибо за ваш труд! Удачи в поисках.
@@user-gd2mc2ux2y thanks so much my friend.
@@underthesurface4435 marble? I understand correctly?
@@user-gd2mc2ux2y yes.
Where was this done, approximately?
Great bottles, by the way!!
Bayshore wetlands, Monmouth county NJ
May I ask what state you’re in?
Absolutely, Garden State….New Jersey
@@underthesurface4435 I am in Missouri and im struggling to find anywhere to lark? Have you heard of any good spots in this area?
@@clairvoyant1290 just at a quick glance , it could be helpful to search some of those rivers that happen to be lower than usual. Sometimes you can find older bottle dumps on these rivers. Oklahoma Mudlarker seems to do well along river banks.
@@underthesurface4435 you’re so kind! Thank you!
Any time and good luck, part of the fun is definitely in the search.
Loved the video but could barely hear you
My apologies Barbara, I’m working on the modulation. I’m not a loud talker so it sometimes leads to a low volume transfer. Thanks for watching.
