Your Mum makes beautiful jewelry!!❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧
You're keeping me on the edge of my seat, digging broken glass with no gloves.
The thing with the knob on the end looks like a coat hook to me
II thought that too
I’ll second that. Or third 😉
I agree. It looks like a hook for clothing.
It kind looks like a door stop. Put on the base board in front of a door to keep the knob from damaging the wall
I agree it looks like a coat hook.
Mum Gail making jewelry is very soothing
Oh -- that iridescent glass with the thistle would be called "Carnival Glass" here in the States anyway -- it was most popular in the 1920's -- as you said in the video. It's a shame that it is broken *yet* the elements of the design, and color of the glass bit that you have are still wonderful! Love the necklace -- Gail is such a skilled artisan!
Carnival glass is a thing here in Indiana...
Yes and the color is called marigold.
It's called carnival Glass because they were giving away at carnivals as prizes. It comes in purple, green, red orange not sure of other colors.
Very collectable. I have some as well.
Some can be very valuable.
Yes, called Carnival glass in uk too
Hello Ladies,
The thing with the knob at 27:44 is a "Hat stand hook" the difference between it and coat hooks is the single screw attachment on the back.
The weird metal shape at 28:06 is a "screw cutting guage" used in Machine shops to grind screw cutting tools and drill bits to the correct shape.
The thingy at 28:24 is the rewind handle from a "string chalk-line" I'm pretty sure it was made by the Stanley tool Co, but the design has been widely reproduced. Chalk-lines were often used for marking straight lines to set up "Digs" in mines back in the day.
Someone else may have already named the parts but just in case I thought I'd chime in.
The Miner’s Daughter pendant is gorgeous!
the little lever thing is a stop-start lever of a french cylinder phonograph I have several of these machines date 1898 -1906.
I thought it also looked like it could be a latch off an old jewelry box
the doll head fragment is an Armand Marseille doll head fragment from around 1890 1900.mould nr 390.
this would not have been a toy for the children of the workers at the mine rather more a toy for the elite maybe the bosses daughter.
The scenery that greeted you when you exited that adit must have taken your breath away. You live around some very beautiful countryside. And more importantly, I don’t know where or how you learned your video skills, but your skills are incredibly impressive. You kept your camera centered on the horizon, there are no jerking motions, no aiming at the ground then the sky. You stay focused on what you want us to see. Not many you tubers do that. Between your camera skills, your soft beautiful accent, and the impeccable manners and personal bearing of you and your Mother, you two are rapidly becoming my favorite CZcamsrs. Please don’t think that I’m being creepy, I’m retired and living out my life on YT, sorry if I sound like a wierdo.
Very well put. I agree with James. Also ma I ask, not meant offensively, how old you are. When I first watched a cpl of your videos I thought you where a teenager. And other times you look just a touch older, no later than early 20's. Sorry if I offended you.
There were times I said what you said about the filming and the two so alike with soft voices and then I would delete it. I didn't want to sound like and creep either. Also the way they clean those bottles is amazing , like brand new. Susann76
Yer mum is a very precious crafts person! Love when people MAKE things. Living in the throw away culture of the state makes your finds-into-gems site all the more entertaining!
I LOVE watching your mum work on her jewelry!!!! Im a retired jeweler and she makes me want to start working again. Tip for cleaning insides of bottles....fill with course sand, liquid soap and shake.
Spent the afternoon binge watching your videos - absolutely love them!
You’re Mom does an amazing job on her Jewelry and she makes it look so easy. I’m sure it’s not easy to make something that beautiful
I absolutely love watching your videos. I was very nervous when you ventured into the mine. My Grandfather was a mine foreman here in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. There are so many abandoned mines near where we live, that he made me and my siblings and cousins promise him that, no matter what, we would never go underground. Cave-ins and toxic gases killed quite a few miners in our area before my time. He spent many years working underground, and his biggest fear was that someone he loved would be hurt or killed in one of those mines. I could hear my Grandfather's voice in my head as I was watching you, and I even said out loud, "Oh no Alex, don't go in there!" Please be safe, you're such a ray of sunshine and you and your Mom are a joy to watch :)
I think mystery object is curtain tie back.Gail your skills are fab.
I thought it looked familiar.
Looks like a door-stop. .and the necklace Gail made is beautiful.
Such a beautiful piece of jewellery such a fantastic FANTABULUS skill to have absolutely brilliant 👏 what a TALENT 😮😮😮😮😮
8:37 That pottery stamp you found is a Sarreguemines et Digon France after 1920 mark.
You are one brave girl for going in that mine! I was quite impressed with your mom's jewelry making skills as well! You live in such a wonderful area to treasure hunt! Love your channel! You really should monetize, I think you could do well!
I adore the mother and daughter bond you have
Thanks for venturing into the mine! I could hardly breathe!,
I love what you ladies do...since you're both artists..what do you think about gathering up the flatter bits of blue crockery and other Victorian glass and ceramics with writing perhaps? Pieces of interesting metal or whatnot and make mosaic table tops or wall hangings to sell..Give new life to history!
Put like even before viewing, I know that I will not be disappointed!
You two are just a lovely duo! Keep up the great work. For Christmas you need to stock an "adventure kit" for the car. Gloves, knit hats, hand warmers, hand tools for digging, etc.. 💕
Gail you make it look so easy when you make jewelry
Your beautiful golden glass thistle is part of a Marigold Carnival bowl I should think - very beautiful.
I found this one that is very similar m.ebay.co.uk/itm/SOWERBY-VINTAGE-RETRO-FOOTED-ORANGE-CARNIVAL-GLASS-MILK-CREAM-JUG-HOLLY-THISTLE/223449400512?ul_ref=rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=2&pub=5575376664&toolid=10001&campid=5338268676&customid=EAIaIQobChMIgu7Nzfbx5QIViLPtCh3MGQaIEAQYASABEgIbEfD_BwE&lgeo=1&item=223449400512&srcrot=710-53481-19255-0&rvr_id=2185363520668&rvr_ts=7abae2f916e0a86702269753ffef70c6&_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1&ul_noapp=true&pageci=1f649e6f-c753-4919-be4a-5bc42391b441
Thanks for that! I think you've hit the nail on the head!
That's what I thought as well carnival glass
Wow, so interesting to see Gail make jewelry. And it’s so beautiful!
I can't blame you for keeping hold of the necklace, it's stunning! What a very talented Mum you have x
William Pickles Hartley started out with his jam empire in Colne, Lancashire. I live a few miles away. Hartleys was the benefactor for the hospital and a maternity home in his birth town. Even though the buildings still stand, they are now converted into housing. I was born at the maternity home ☺️. Another fantastic piece of jewellery that your mother made 👍
Thanks for the information!
The neckless, that your mom made you is really wonderfull.
Be happy to have such a wonderful mom. .🥰❤🖐
I love watching you two!You make each adventure special!
Some very interesting finds despite a lot of the stuff being broken. Beautiful necklace yet again!
Gail, your jewelry is beautiful! It's art from the heart!
27:55 is a hat hook for a door. I install them in every bathroom I remodel.
I love the thistle glass. Would make a beautiful sconce!
LOVE driving along the countryside with you! My sister makes stained glass collage pieces with odd, broken pieces of china, bottles, etc. She also slumps bottles in a kiln and incorporates those. Or you could do mosaic pieces as well. :-)
I keep staring at you because you look so familiar. My heritage is from the Netherlands and Scotland, and I swear you could be a relative. I love your videos!
I can see it!
Thank you for making lovely videos. I would go rummaging through old bottle dumps, and really exploring to find goodies anywhere if I could :)
Hi...old person saying hi again...when you pick up a piece of broken something, be sure to drop it back down with sharp prongs into the earth/dirt...so when I ( or someone clumsy like me) comes by we won’t step on it and cut our foot !! I am loving your broad cast here in the US / South Carolina ...
Hi old person! Got another one here, had to say hello you,, I stayed in southcarolina in 1976 with a dear friend I met on my travels.we stayed at her grand perents house beside the river and I loved it.oh to be young again.
Nigel Kavanagh .... oh yes, young again...
23:32 Good job Mum! The Miners Daughter is so lovely and dainty.💙
I just love your beautiful jewelry. You pay attention to detail, and that is good
Thank you so much! xx
You're braver then me to go in that mining tunnel! Lol beautiful job as always making the jewelry. Great video! Thanks so much 🙏
I sure enjoy watching your mom make jewelry, she does beautiful work!
the necklace ..Gail ...is beautiful ..you are very clever ..thanks for your videos !
Such beautiful spirits the two of you are
I would love it if you did a series of tutorial videos on jewellery making. Most especially the casting aspect - many moons ago I bought some small jewellery crucibles at a car boot sale for a mere pittance and would love to utilise them to cast my own talisman in some recycled sterling silver!
Also, have you ever thought about buying a metal detector pin pointer to help with your searches? You can buy a GP pointer super cheap on eBay which works really good for the low price. It would be ideal for searching the nooks and crannies in the mine entrance you showed looking for secreted hidden coins etc. It would also be ideal for searching the bottle dumps too! Thanks for making such awesome videos!
WOW, there are so many great pieces of broken pottery and dishes, Great for making homemade tiles, Or to put on clear vases or bowls. Anything. If you ever get tired of the meat paste jars you can always cover them with small pieces of broken pottery and dishes.
Amazing family the Northern mudlarks
The strange patina on the found items is due the acid mine drainage in the area.
Very toxic areas, as someone that reclaimed such areas in the states, I worry that you were not adequately protected.
Just found your videos today, enjoying them immensely.
Stephanie Hamilton it's not just the result of copper being exposed to water for too long?
@@witchynerdhermit could be if I had not seen the word "mine" I would not have advised caution.
Copper, of course, grows beautiful patina when exposed to the elements.
I know little about reclamation in the UK but here in the US I have seen water flowing from old mines so acidic truck tires will melt. The older mines being some of our worse offenders.
such acid pools are definitely not so easily accessible or even existing in the uk. if there was an acid pool in the uk that could melt tyres it would have a huge fence around it with barb wire and guard dogs and signs and secuity guards and hawks with lazer beams attached to their head guarding it.
Beautiful necklace. You should keep it Alex.
The knobby thing looks like a door stopper.
Totally is! The type that screw into the floor!
24:10 LOVE the blue bead necklace :)
Love the necklace
Another awesome video! I had a very adventurous mom and I find your channel so endearing for that reason. Keep going ladies! 💓
It would be interesting to check out those mine walls with a blacklight. Cerrusite is sometimes found with galena and will fluoresce a nice bright yellow. Would make some cool beads.
You’re so brave to go down in that old mine!!!
If I see a troll at the end of that mine, I will lose my senses! 😂🤣
I should get your senses microchipped now! You never know whats going to happen in life.
Sarah Strong 😱
Another superb film. Thank you! - Looking forward to the next one!
Oh! That was so scary! You gave me chest pains! You are too beautiful to take chances like that! Brave girl!
Only just watched, lol
The pocket watch back....
I would upcycle with a mirror & a handle, it's great seeing what you can find from New Zealand 🙂 💜
ABSOLUTELY beautiful pendant, excellent craftsmanship thank you for bringing us along.
Me too, looks like a small clothes hook, maybe from inside a wardrobe, hall cupboard or on a train carriage? In those compartment carriages that have the seats facing each other
I am so happy when she gets a small intact bottle . Both are like kids in wonderland, working a rubbing pile. LOL
I have no idea why it was a thumbs down, I love watching your videos! The necklace is absolutely gorgeous! The tunnel was a bit creepish lol, interesting tho...❤❤❤
Love the little jewelry making sequence 😍 the neckles is beautiful 🥰
Aww, thank you so much! xx
I think the one at the end is a bent door stop. Lovely necklace, Gale is so talented!
Do buy some Wellies for these adventures, keep your feet warm and dry! Very interesting to see Gail's artistry in action, thanks for sharing that.
I loved that trip down the mine! And the video of Gail making that necklace was fascinating. I’d love to be able to do that. Thank you again for sharing your trips, your treasures, and your joy with us!
I just finished watching your first video and I'm very pleased to see that you had uploaded the sequel only ten minutes after I'd finished the first!
You ladies should try mosaic wall decoration or tabletops with all the broken glass pieces would be neat!
And to think I used to think history was boring! I so much appreciate your videos because they bring history to life. You make it personal. I love that!
The necklace is just gorgeous!!!❤️❤️❤️💕💗
Beautiful !
Love this channel, me and my Daughter have these adventures. The Memories that will last forever x
Thankyou for taking us along.
i love that necklaceeeeeee!!! i would love to own it
Great finds!
what a beautiful mine entrance...nothing like the mines i've seen in oregon & california!
Love that iridescent piece you found, is very pretty!
The pendant is gorgeous Gail.
Thank you! xx
The metal mystery item with the ball on the end, looks like a bracket that attaches to the wall to hold curtains open.
You know there are ways and means to clean rust off metal and bring them back to shinyness 😋
That necklace is beautiful I would have loved it myself clever mum xx❤️❤️
I just discovered your channel this morning and I absolutely love it and you and your mom! My mom and I have always spent time picking through our yard to find treasures but not quite so magnificent as your finds!
Beautiful Gayle!
You’re one brave young lady going into that mine ! I would never... thanks for sharing! God Bless you and mom too
Beautiful necklace thank you for taking us along on your adventure. Xx🇮🇲
Absolutely love what you guys do! My dads old house had a victorian dump inthe field where he kept the cows. Loved digging for bottles! I think people abroad don't realise that whilst some of the dumps and mines did contain hazardous substances the length of time they've been shut has denatured most of it. You both demonstrate our norther common sense approach to exploring which has kept all of us alive and (mostly) out of mischief since we were toddlers. We used to explore the pot holes near malham, the buttertubs and any other cave like (or mine like) structure with minimal supervision and never came a cropper. Keep up the good work and keep these explorations coming! Love them!
The orange bit of glass is a part of carnival glass, give glass items as prizes in carnivals years back . Look it up in detail amazing and you will probably find out which families would use which designs
Such a beautiful necklace💕
A mosaic artist would love digging in that bottle dump.... lots of pretty shards.
Oh love think of the beautiful garden stones you can make using the bits & pieces you were finding. Thank you so much for sharing. My mother & aunt recently went to sea glass beach in California & brought home so much she made a huge mural of the ocean & sky with seagulls & sand in an old picture frame right on the glass.
Omg you two are so cute! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Crazy cool :) thanks for the new upload!!
That necklace is gorgeous and that was a lot of work! Great work Mum!
Love you guys! Awsome vids! Cheers!
Hi Muddy Angels, lovely video of a very interesting place, you may have been cold but your videos always warm my heart.
OMG Alex, you are so brave going down that creepy old mine tunnel, if I went in there, I would need a flame thrower and Gandalf !!
I think that blue metal thingy that Alex trod on was used to join two strap ends, possibly part of the harness on a Pit-pony, I think the metal rings joined the part of a harness where three strap ends meet on the pony's cheek. (Just guessing)
Once again, I was totally mesmerised watching Gail making such beautiful jewellery.
Something else I found interesting, was seeing that brick-lined water course. It looks to me that there was a reason for them to straighten and control the water flow, this would suggest there may have been a watermill not far from there. The water would have probably driven massive hammers to crush the ore before it was sent to be processed into lead.
Stay safe Ladies and please wear gloves. Big warm hugs for you both. Louie. xx
What a fantastic piece of work! I am envious!
That is a beautiful piece of jewelry you must be proud of your mum. Great find turns into amazing work.
Another really enjoyable video ladies. So nice to see Mum and daughter having fun together, doing what they love. I always get a little nervous when I see you driving on the "wrong side" of the road ! Anyway, I feel like I am exploring right along with you! Just love your adventures. Can't wait til the next one.
