Such fun watching you two.....wish I was there.
What's the music you used at the beginning??
You missed a red rock with white spots, you should've kept it. At 6:30
@@user-oi3je1ve2e Yes I saw it it was lovely they should have lifted it indeed
Magical treasures...
I just found this video and your channel!! I haven't watched any of your other videos yet, but this one is simply wonderful!!
So inspiring and full of life and playfulness and beauty!!
Thank you so much!, this world needs beauty!!
Love from Nenne, your new subscriber in Sweden
When you whipped out your rake there was the most beautiful little spotted rock of red and white. I kept yelling, spotted rock, spotted rock. You didn't hear me. You just raked right over the top of the poor little darling rock. Sheesh.
yeah-- I saw that one too. Ahh, well.
Yep I saw it too :-)
As did I! I said, "That's a really cool looking rock!" Glad I'm not the only one that saw it. It had its 15 seconds of fame with us. 💖
Wendy Nordstrom yes!! Me too , a said take it please, take it!!!. I saw so incredible agates! Maybe NM can make a trip to this beach for rock hounding!!!
I saw it too!
18:32
“Look how tiny it is! Kinda looks like a little eyeball.”
Random old man: hey, has anyone seen my glass eye?
KitttyCat Lover 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
O O F
_CallMeKitty_ nice
When you found the rake you missed what looked like a Venetian red bead with white and colored cane.
I saw that, too!
6:30
that kind of stressed me out when she didn't see it but same.
We need to start a drinking game and take a shot everytime Alex says "look" lol.
Her enthusiasm is intoxicating. Literally.
Haha! X
brikhouse22 I'd be legalese after 15 mins. But here goes ❤️🤞🏼🤢
Or uses the word beautiful!
Haha haha 😂
It’s so sad I am so far away from that magic beach:(
I live there the place is shit aha
I would like to put all that sea glass in a big bowl just to run my fingers through it! The ring you made is beautiful Gail! Fab video, looking forward to the next one x
I have a small white shallow pedestal bowl with glass pieces in it.
I am amazed you have people from all parts of the world watching Northern Mudlarks you cheer lots of people up you make us wish that we were their with you thank you both
Yes, I would love to do the same! I'd feel like Midas with his gold. lol 🤤
I do have a glass jar full of shells, pebbles and corals I have picked from various beaches I have travelled to. I have placed it on my desk by the window. Every morning when the sunrays beam in, the glass jar looks the most magical thing ever. My treasure, it is.
Thats what i did, i just keep it in an unused fish bowl as decoration
This video popped up in my recommendations, not sure why but clicked as I actually live in Seaham. Spent a lot of time collecting sea glass especially as a child, it always seemed so fascinating. There is a small shop along the seafront, Seaham Waves, which also makes jewellery from the sea glass. I never realised sea glass was so popular and sought after. Makes you realise the things you take for granted because it's just always there and is a normality when for the majority it's not. The old bottleworks were my playground as a child but they're totally gone now.
23:01 oh man the bug crawling down onto her finger made me flinch.
I'm fortunate enough to live in Seaham, it's lovely to have people show the beautiful beaches of our town
Will visit in May, would appreciate advice..?
Such an enjoyable, aesthetic, and soothing Vlog. Maybe a mudlarking calendar in the future featuring all those lovely shots.
That's a great idea!
Hmm, maybe! xx
Completely agree! Well said.
i could imagine a tiara made from those tiny ones
Treasure
that would be so beautiful! (out of context but my name is Tiara and it was kinda weird reading that)
I laughed out loud when Gail introduced us to Cecil the hag stone!!! Y’all are SO adorable!!
Beachcombers In 2267: "Look!! We found what looks to be an early 21st century kneeling pad. Beautifully worn by the sea. Treasure!"
Thanks for taking us on another adventure. And again have to say, your videos are very professionally put together. I watch out of interest and curiosity but the camera shots, music and editing etc. makes it a real pleasure to watch.
ps. Gorgeous ring!
He he... Thank you so much! xx
Hahahahahahaha! :-D
You two are the sweetest to each other it’s lovely.
Sounds like John Candlish was man of truly good character, who cared about his workers, and it brought tears to my eyes to hear his story, thank you for researching and sharing. It makes each of the pieces you find even more special. :-)
Gail made that look easy making that ring. It’s truly amazing.
These videos have so many different elements. Beautiful videography, stones, gems, fossils, sea glass, other treasures, jewelry making. It's so much wonderful jam packed into 1 video and I absolutely love and appreciate the work put into this channel.
Thank you so much! We do try and pack in as much as we can xx
Ty dear friends, i enjoi with this beautiful video in this sadness time in Italy😞hello from Rome
Thank you! Stay safe! xx
Cara Anna, i tempi sarebbe meglio. I noi sentimenti sono con voi. Tante persone perdute. Pensamo a voi in Italia. Larissa
Same here I'm from the USA I just hope everything is calm by May because my birthday is on that month
Your enthusiasm could cure cancer 😍
I have a bad case of rock envy! I saw so many beautiful and unusual stones I couldn't stand it. How I wish there was something like that around where I live. An the coolest looking sea glass ever! What a fun time I had just watching!
I’m so glad I found this channel. None of the beaches near me have pebbles instead of sand. I love rocks so much, and I love seeing what you guys find 🥺
The ocean is sneaky. Sometimes there's gravel and sometimes the gravel is gone. Some locations seem to always have good gravel. I have a location where the ocean will deposit 2 feet of rocks and a month later the rocks are gone. Sometimes the gravel \ rocks gather at one end of the beach where there is a natural (a cove) or a man made barrier. There is an art to finding where the gravel likes to gather. I love Google maps Satellite view to find new places. 75% of the time it leads me to nice sea glass. Just not as good as Seaham... Happy Hunting.
It's so great to be out on all the beaches searching for treasures and then to see the beauteous treasure that your mum makes whether it's a ring, a bracelet or a neckless, wonderful fun, thanks for sharing, very enjoyable XX
Every piece of sea glass is so unique! I want to steal them all!
The sea glass is beautiful but the jewellery you make us out of this world, soooo pretty....
I was just down the shore on the East Coast here of the US and saw your mom‘s knee pad float by!!!
lol xx
Rye NH beaches with loads of glass and coral here monday 3-9-20
TurnTimeTable nice to see it finally made landfall 🤣
This is heaven!!! I can spend hours collecting these beautiful pieces without complaint for hours together.
I love collecting pebbles, shells also corals that wash off the beach. Have my own little collection in a glass jar that has shells picked from all the beaches, I have traveled to so far. I have also been lucky to find some very beautiful and detailed fist size corals that I use in lieu of paper weights on my desk.
Please do not collect shells and corals from the beach. This all goes back into the eco system and becomes sand. Smaller shells are also used for hermit crabs.
Glass however is man made so that can be taken away but do not take things made by nature.
I also have a collection found 3 fossils
Some videos are just too pure for this cold earth, thank you for all the work you do
I don't care much about Sea glass, but the experience of beach combing with Mom would make a great day. Memories to last a lifetime. I'd give anything to have just one more day with my mother and father. Anything.
Such a beautiful ring, Gail! The silver foil really gave the glass a special glow. I love sea glass and you found such beautiful examples. Thank you for taking me along.
Thank you so much! xx
I would love to see the beautiful jewelry you make from the multi colored glass! How fun!
I can't get enough of your videos 🤗
Great job on the ring Gail. You two get to do what you love to do together and make money doing it. Can't beat that. Alex..... Love your voice. It's so soothing. Could listen to it for hours and never get tired of it. You all keep making videos and i'll be happy. Peace and Happy Hunting.
Thank you! xx
Thanks for the history of the glass works. Lovely ring you made , Gail, you have lots of material for many more.
Thank you!xx
I love the sound of the sea on a gravel beach! Great finds guys!!!
Love it how you two interact with each other and I like watching you make stuff from your finds
Heaven on earth. Thanks for sharing how she made the beautiful ring! 💍💜
I swear, if I lived near a beach like that, it would become an obsession. I make jewelry too, using antique buttons, fossils, watch parts, Herkimers (I live in New York State) and other unusual things. I've gathered some glass from Lake Ontario, but the pieces can't hold a candle to your collection! My son is visiting Scotland in May and I keep sending him links to your videos, dropping not-so-subtle hints! I just LOVE your videos. I've even gotten used to your window woooooo!
Your jewellery sounds wonderful! xx
I love how you show the drive. I might never see my ancestorial homeland any other way.
The screenshot of the compiled sea glass would make an amazing jigsaw puzzle. The ring is indeed beautiful. You have amazing design skills!
We all went to church today; to hear what the preacher had to say; He spoke of the things so true, and good; of sins washed clean by precious blood.
Than I sat with my family; for a lark across the sea; with beautiful polished glass and rocks, seabirds flying, o’er the docks. A grand fine day, so far away, where wind and waves all seemed to play!
(The weather here is wind and snow, for we live away up north ,you know; in like a lion comes March, to blow, us into the house,where the fires glow.)
So many thanks to the mudlarks two! For taking us along with you! Although those waves DID wet your shoe: ) again, you’ve turned our gray skies blue!
Yay! Thank you! xx
WHOA, mom has an eagle eye👍🏼✌️❗❗❗ Also, WELLIES people, WELLIES. ☺️🤣☺️🤣☺️ #thevelvetloungelife
p.s. rule of thumb: Never turn your back on the sea. (!) ; )
Truer words have never been said.
_Only_ in the case you're fully scuba-equipped and ready for some fun . . . . 😜
You have such a special relationship with your mom. What a great display of mother/daughter bonding. This is worth more than all the sea glasses in the world.
Love it. Not only is that ring beautiful, beautiful crafted , it so cool that it is recycled with history! And I love the mini history lessons too.
A lot of the aluminium comes from Alcan at Blyth, a nightmare for metal detecting on the NE coast.
I have a lot of Silver that I have found over the years, worthless to me but if you would like it I'd swap for a ring for my wife.
The sound of the ocean was putting me to sleep.
That AND the music. It knocked me out for a solid 2 hour nap that I sorely needed.
The music and sense of place is wonderful..plus some history and the end reveal..well thought out and excellent..😄👍
How many times does Alex say "look it" and "look"? 😂🤣😂🤣 Beautiful day and love the finds. So happy you both are. Contagious. A great kind of contagion, not the current bad one. Blessings
Lol, Thank you! xx
Wow soooooo beautiful!!!! What incredible colors!! Is such a dream!!! Thanks for sharing with us this incredible adventure!!!! Love the history. The ring...... WOW... stunning!!!!
Thank you! xx
Love your choice of music throughout the video! The best sea glass I've ever seen - looks like jewels. A very impressive and beautiful ring as well. Thanks for the history of the bottle works, and most of all, a great video!
Thank you! xx
“The sea is sneaky.” Oh brother I just keep laughing! Back to watching now.
Ladies I almost stopped watching. It's because I love-love sea glass so much, it made jealous that I wasn't there looking for treasures as you guys were. My sweet mother-in-law introduced me to the great finds. Now it's become my favorite pass time every time I'm at the beach. Congrats on your amazing collection, and one of a kind jewellery!!
You get to live my dream ... Before we moved from California I wanted to go find sea glass, but it never happened. I live vicariously through you. Just beautiful!
I wish i could go there to look for beautiful sea glass myself! You found such beautiful pieces!!
Gail: "Stop filming Alex and we'll go have a nice cup of tea!" Hehe!! 👵👱
What a beautiful video. Visually, the sound of the waves, the lovely stones & glass. Perfect.
That blue round one took my breath away. Wow!
Here in Washington State we have a place called "Glass Beach". It is a long walk from the closest access point, like 3 miles. The closer to the dump site one gets, the larger the pieces are. You might consider finding an old map and find exactly where the glass was dumped.
Likely you would find a bigger selection of colors and hopefully, larger pieces.
That is quite a beautiful ring you made too. I hope you include a history of the sea glass with it to the buyer, as to add to the history of it.
There"s a glass beach near Vladivostok, Siberia, as well. During the Communist era truck after truck rolled up and dumped their loads of glass on the beach and now all the shards are beautifully smoothed out.
That's a really interesting idea!
F.K. Burnham oh, I tried to make to Glass Beach, but only got up to the access beach parking lot before it became too late in the day to walk the distance 😢... so close, yet so far way. Have you heard about the glass beach near the Golden Gate Bridge? I have seen photos of it, but have never been. I hear that you can go to it, but you are not allowed to remove anything from the beach, I can’t even imagine not taking just one piece!
I wanted to go there when we were in washington but there were too many riots going on and we only had one night to go, figured it wasnt safe :(
I've heard about those types of beaches. There is one in maine and in boston harbor there is place called spectacle island that used a big dump but it isn't anymore and now it beaches and trails. Tons of stuff and seaglass is on that island but its illegal to remove it which is sad. I heard they really watch you to make sure you don't remove seaglass(to perserve some seaglass for the next generators). Which I get bc it is becoming harder to find at least where I live but its still sad.
(sigh!) I'm so envious of you two sister-friends of mine. Getting to spend the day at the seashore, searching out beautiful sea glass treasure's 😍. I miss the smell of the ocean from my childhood (a bit land locked in Oregon USA)days at the beach in Southern California ☀️🏖️.
Such a beautiful ring, Gail. Like a drop of sea water for one to wear on their hand. GORGEOUS 🤩!!!
Thanks always for the effort and time you put in. Your vlogs are like" mini" vacations. 🙏's for your safe travels and health. 🙋Hello to your pea hens and kitty 🤗🤭😘.
Thank you! xx
What a beautiful assortment of coloured sea glass,the ring Gail made is stunning,keep going love to watch you mudlarking xxxx
You have so inspired my daughter and I, that we took off today for a 2.5 hour comb of our local beaches. We’ve always found sea glass, but I know you were with us in spirit because we found a piece of blue and white AND a marble! We were so excited! 💜🧜♀️🧜♀️
This made me miss my mom so much. She was a silversmith and you both do the same type of work - it's amazing! I miss watching her work and create jewelry. I am super jealous of your sea glass scavenger hunt. What a beautiful haul. You are 2 lovely lovely ladies!
What a perfect end to the weekend!
Thank you for the gorgeous video! xx
Wow! The sea glass is so beautiful. Gail, the ring is gorgeous!! You are so beautiful and talented.❤️❤️💗😘💕🌺🌻🌸🌷🌼
Thank you so much! xx
I just grab my cup of tea and sit back and look at all the pretty finds you discover!! Love, Love, Love all your stories you tell too. Plus Alex is a great photographer!!
wow! lovely ring!!! you have such amazing skill to be able to do that! I absolutely love the multi coloured sea glass you found and the "bubbles" of sea glass too! The messages on the rocks were also very cute! Amazing story of the bottle works at the end! it just shows how a bit of kindness can go a long way! :) :)
Thank you so much! xx
@@NorthernMudlarks hello!!! just wondering, would you like to enter my giveaway on my channel celebrating 100 subscribers? Information about it is on my channel!! :) :) :)
Nobody:
Alex: IT’S TREASURE
What beautiful colors!!!!!!! Wonderful day treasure hunting!!!!!!
This is making me seriously nostalgic... I used to go beachcombing at Seaham a lot before I had my little girl. I can't wait till she is old enough to come with me!
It will be great when she can! xx
I would LOVE to look for sea glass on this beach..I'll get to Seaham one day! Great video girls :)
Lovely glass, GORGEOUS ring and I loved hearing about the history of the glassworks. Wonderful video and I was like Alex in that I didn't want it to end.
Thank you! xx
I love sea glass and you found wonderful pieces. The sea glass ring is spectacular! Nothing prettier than pale blue and silver.
That last photo should be a print we can buy 🥰. What beautiful finds! You two are a joy to watch. Thank you for the wonderful videos.
Thank you! Great idea! xx
Ladies you make some beautiful jewelry.......love the sea glass ,I am a rock collector I would definitely have a field day on that beach!!!!
Thank you! xx
Watching this again.still gives me a nice and relaxing feel, desperately needed. Thank you both for making such brilliantly made vids. I said before you should have your own TV slot. Your following is growing by the day.
Stay safe
Penny xx😄
Thank you so much Penny! You really made us smile 😊💕
Love when you guys add history to your videos. Your relationship is so wonderful to see.
Simple beauty, that ring. Love love love it.
Again, thank you for sharing your adventures! The statue of the fisherman reminds me of the fisherman statue where my ancestors are from; Gloucester, Massachusetts USA. Mum: you are an artist! Love your jewelry creations!
Thank you! xx
I thought the same...the beach below and ajecent to the statue...has some nice pieces of seaglass..but it very picked over..not like this beach... amazing!!!
I took a trip to Gloucester after watching the Perfect Storm, it was very emotional
You do have to have rubber boots or plastic sandals for that beach. This is the best way,stay in one place and rake through the pebbles :)
Thank you so very much for posting your videos on Sea Glass Collecting. I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I love going beach-combing for beach glass on our Great Lakes. Please don't stop recording your trips. Well done, ladies!
I don't know why YT suggested this to me, but I'm glad they did. My mom passed in 2018, and her favorite thing to do was beachcomb for shells and sea glass. She would have loved to explore this beach. ♥️
Looks like the stone melicite Alex's first find of sea glass.Remind me of piece l iwn as teenager make something with it

A dragon's claw would look lovely on top of the bubble
Dear Northern Mudlarking Ladies.
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, what a fantastic video again! I always enjoy your excitement while finding things. By the way: Great finds and your collection is sooo incredibly beautiful. Wonderful landscape/beach and the handmade ring looks amazing (although the real treasures are you two of course).
Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck health and wisdom.

Sincerely yours.
thats nice of you
@@deanjon3507
Thanks 👍
What a joy to experience your day with you!
This is the no 1 sea glass beach - I remember it so vividly! Wish I can make some jewellery out of mine - where do one start!
Stop stealing all my glass 😂😂😂 my beach! 👊😂
Love the story and the sea glass lighted background would make a beautiful print.It's always best to treat people the way you would like to be treated.
Thank you, great idea! xx
JUST GORGEOUS BEACH GLASS JEWELRY! LOVE IT!❤🌈🤙🔎
Hi ladies, another great vid, pity you missed the lovely little red and white rock! Ah well can't get Them all. X
Like the dark bubble red muti tiny hag stone & the choice or music the land scape panning
Most beautiful sea glass love them n amazing video thank u
Thank you! xx
I am so envious that you guys are finding all these treasures that I can hardly watch... so jealous! Lol. 🙏
YOU DID IT!!!!! Thank you so much! What an amazing place-- Wooohoooo!
I did a bit of my own 'mudlarking' over here on an island barely off shore in Maine, USA and found (of all things) pipe stem bits, 7 (count 'em, *7*!) marbles- only 1 clear, and an assortment of other wonderful things! So pleased-- and I had to laugh because it's the first place that was well and truly schloopy muddy, and the sound effect reminded me of Thames fore shore adventures LOL!
Thank you for this wonderful, beautiful adventure, ladies. Every expedition is a delight! Eliza
I love Maine! Sounds like you had some great finds! Keep hunting xx
At 12.17 when you picked up a pinky/clear glass there was a red bead just to the right. Try getting some industrial knee pads which you fasten on. No chance of them getting washed away.
We have some - got the kneeling pad back too xx
Great adventure! Thank you for taking me along. Beautiful.
The history and the jewelry are wonderful. You honor those workers by making the jewelry from their hard work. I'm sure they are smiling down and very happy with their legacy being showcased this way. As an avid beachcomber, being housebound is hard on me. The beaches are closed due to the virus. So watching the waves and seeing the pebbles and glass on the shore is so comforting to me.
