You ladies have no idea how much of a blessing your channel is to some of us. Out of all the insanity in the world it is so refreshing, comforting, and heartwarming to just come to this channel put all the crazy out and watch with wonder what you both find while mudlarking. Thank you both so much for the peace of mind you bring to the world.
Thank you, that warms our hearts to hear! xx
YES!!!! I feel the same way. I can put on one or several or MORE of these videos, one after the other and totally loose myself in them. I can shut out the craziness of the outside world and not just enjoy the treasures they find, they're reactions of joy when they find something but, also the beautiful, loving interaction between a mother and daughter. I am very thankful that I have a similar connection with my oldest daughter. Those bonds can not be measured or compared to anything else in this world or some other reality. It's priceless! Something that for me is much needed right now. I feel that if I don't "turn off" I will literally go crazy and take everyone with me!! đłđ Not purely a joke... Quite a lot of truth in it...
If you go into the woods today
You're in for a big surprise
For every bottle there ever was
Is right before your eyes
Alex and Gail will wash them out
Then tell us what they're all about
Another great enjoyable
Mudlarking adventure
Haha! Took a lot of washing too! Thanks for watching! xx
@@NorthernMudlarks Always a pleasure.
Sweet poem!!! đđđœââïž
Brilliant, I love it!
Teddy bears parade Dave van Ronk sort ofđđđ
Your so lucky to have each other for your adventures! I lost my baby girl in 1997...and I always dream of what our life could have been like..you guys are so blessed! It gives me the greatest pleasure watching you two together!
The stopper with the slit on the top is for either a decorative string or wire closure to keep it on its bottle. The clear glass one with the raised wings is from a Ball type canning jar from the USA. Used to self preserve vegetables and pickles. The wooden pipe is similar to my dads pipes. It looks like walnut or Hickory which are both very hard woods that don't burn easily. Looks like another visit is in your future.
The unusual glass lid at 9:03 belongs to a type of canning jar invented in 1882 by Henry W. Putnam from Essex, New York. The lid was held in place by a wire loop and lever, called Lightning fastener, that would clamp down onto it to close the jar securely. The Putnam Lightning jar was made by at least 11 companies from the 1880s to the 1920s. Sending love from Québec, Canada. xxx
Iâve been ill this week and have had your videos on constantly because youâre both so comforting. Thank you for continuing to create for us!
I hope you feel better soon.
These are absolutely relaxing and dopamine tv đș
Feel better soon
What fabulous finds today..I remember those little ink bottles Mum would buy them and Dad would write our names to go into our school clothes on a cotton tape that came with it.He used to sew it into our clothes to.He was in the Navy and used to sew his own badges on his uniform.Mum sadly was not very good with sewingâŠThey always looked so neat and tidy and the ink never faded.Also my Dad had beautiful handwriting.I also think the two smaller glass milk borrows you found.The smallest was for cream and the next one for either School Milk or my favourite I had when I visited my Grandparents an Orange Juice bottle.It tasted better than any other I have ever tasted lol.School milk was too cold in the winter or too warm in the Summer.I used to hate it .But it was compulsory then..I forgot about this until I saw the bottles.But it did mean that even children from the poorest families had milk every day..So I think that helps a bit ..Gives my age away a bit.But in those days kids played out until the street lights came on.Had adventures.Lots of camps,imaginary games and fun.Without a computer!phone or tablet.They also read more too.Kids now are always bored.No imagination .Thank you for the adventure through time and letting me watch Dad again..Love n Light đ„°
don't know where your from Christine but think your from my neck of the woods. I too still remember the milk bottles loved the ice in winter but hated in summer .loved the orange juice ,used to come from baby clinics,mums were given lots of stuff to look after them. remember all the meat paste jars. used to love taste of fennings fever cure. mum used to give us malt and cod liver oil on a spoon, you used to have to keep hold of the spoon till you sucked it all off.Im 70 and still got a jar now.New one of course.tried it on kids and grandkids they all think it's foul.must be me that's weird. you can still get the orange juice now you can get it delivered with your milk from the milkman. sorry for rabbiting on . strange how all those things were part of people's childhood. whereabouts are all these bottles all together like that such different types. fascinating.
Love the way, you showed the cleand product
Well done on this haul! I too would want to take so many more. I have mobility issues but I push myself to collect sea glass. I have been on a beach with so much glass and tears streaming down my face because I couldn't physically bend one more time. It was very remote and by the next time I was well enough to go back, it was all gone. You can only do, what you can do. Thank you for taking us along on this trip.
Next time you go to a beach, bring a grabber with you! Then, you wonât have to bend.
They make a large spade with a thumb, you could use. Enjoy what you can, the pain can be difficult.
God bless you! I hope you make it back soon & you make the haul of a lifetime!! I dream of being able to go to the ocean some day & look for sea glass & shells.
I'm in a wheelchair now, well for the last 12 years, and it's spoilt my love đ of mudlarking too xx
Wow! A haul like that must have left you glassy eyed! (Ahem, I'll see myself out... đ )
So glad to see you show up. Love the purple glass jar. When I was a teenager, years ago, we moved to Boulder City, Nevada. Lots of homes there had flat roofs and on them were these metal cages that the locals would put bottles in so they could bake in the hot sun and turn purple. The darker the better. It's is still very popular today. Don't know if they still do that. I live in northern Nevada now. Thanks you for your very enjoyable videos.
People I used to know put jars up on their roof also, so they would turn purple. That was a long time ago, in Apple Valley, California. That is, before the high desert turned into the wall, to wall, suburbs. Too bad.
@@donnastockwell296 I used to go to Victorville every Thanksgiving with my family back in the 70s, man what a different place it is now. Itâs depressing.
Breathe Alex, breathe!!!!!!! Love from Cape Town South Africa đżđŠđżđŠđżđŠđżđŠđżđŠ
Iâm in NZ. Iâm SO jealous. There, Iâve said it out loud. So envious. Thank you for a great video, your enthusiasm and joy pops out of the screen! Xxx
WHAT A HAUL I HAVE SO ENJOYED BEING WITH YOU GUYS ON THE HUNT..
I love mom's enthusiasm
Wonderful finds! You can re-silver the mirror with silver leaf which is easily available and relatively inexpensive. Restoring the mirror would make for a great future video as well. Congratulations on the day!
They sell a mirror finish paint that can make mirrors.
Your excitement is delightful to witness.đđ€
I was sooooo excited to see you post a new video, and then.........the reveal! Your excitement at the beginning got my heart pounding too, it was so infectious! What a place, what a day! Thank you for letting us be a 'mouse in the pocket' and share all with you. I really liked the clean up reveal, the way you segregated the finds. Soooooo enjoyable. Stay in good health girls. Looking forward to your next adventure, as always.
Great day!, History tidbits make your channel special
Please put the manganese glass bottle in the window so we all can watch it get darker over the course of time. Thank you, Ladies, for a lovely adventure.
Love, love, love all the beautiful bottles! I would have spent days there just looking and researching all the history. đ
Awesome haul of bottles Ladies, that was fun to watch, thanks so much.
A lot of bottles there lol .... some great find and great video
The crimson glass is beautiful.Another great day for bottle digging. :)
Wonderful to see a new dump! A real dragonâs hoard.
I'm glad you kept the lavender jar. đ It was my favorite.
What a haul you got from that dump. Good job. Love the cranberry glass.đ
Hello đ from New York USA you guy's found some amazing finds I can not believe how much Bottles where at that dump my Eyes where everywhere I can't even pick a favorite Thank you for bringing me along with you guy's I can't wait to see what you guy's find next đ đ
Everything you both do is elegant and in good taste. You have rescued jars, bottles, small clay pots etc., from history's dumps and elevated them to gleaming art . . . enjoyed your latest 'thousands dump' foray. Looking forward to more.
Ann (Canada)
What a haul!!! I love how your new wealth has been displayed on the white, draped, table. Your view from your back yard is stunning.
Oh what a lovely surprise on a Friday, made my weekđ. So many wonderful things. â€ïž
I love your channel. I was thinking that when you find the broken bottles that have larger portions broken, and you wish it were whole to make it lovely again like you do with broken doll's heads. Build up the broken side with chicken wire (hardware sheet), pack with appropriate soil, and fill in with succulent cuttings. I think they'd be so lovely again. I enjoy making broken shells and the like beautiful with gold leafing on the edges. You ladies are wonderful. Thank you for repurposing, finding joy in the small things, and bringing life back to the overlooked.
That's amazing and no digging necessary I don't think I've ever seen a tip with such a variety of bottles
But why was all that stuff in the woods just sitting there?
@@Yellow-Rose people who dug it out originally were probably looking for rare stuff and left these behind đ
@@suppeeps7916 yeah thank you, some other commenters helped me learn about old Victorian tips or dump sites. I can't believe there's so much stuff in one small area, and it's free for the taking. In America they would sell that "junk" in an antique store for a pretty penny. I could see one of those little bottles going for $60.
Was having a rough day but watching you made my day! Thank you! Great finds! Love the magic with the plate!
Aw, you are so welcome - happy you're enjoying it! xx
If you see a bottle with liquid in it, be careful
Gail âI canât leave that!â Iâve been giggling ever since that declaration! A true loverâ„ïžof other peoples trash. One manâs trash is another manâs treasure. So true . . . .
Bottle graveyard. The lid at 9:07 looks very similar to the lid on a jar I got from my grandmother, a wire was pulled up to close the lid similar to a swing top. I liked the shape of the jar at 9:20 just at the bottom of the screen between two other bottles. The two meat paste jars at 24:37 are so cute. I kept seeing what looked like a pink jar when you were showing the wood pipe and was like please, please look at it and you did - yeah.
Yes about the lid. I have some vintage Ball Mason jars with lids and seals like that.
Just WOW!
It must have taken days to clean all those bottles.
I loved the history of Ponds, as Oneida County is in my neck of the woods in NYS. (Well a few hours East, as Iâm in Ontario County.)
I LOVE so much of the bottles and things you found but especially those old plant pots!
The diggers must have been looking for something very specific to leave so many good finds!
Wow! Just Wow! Over whelming! I loved it!
OMG - what an amazing haul. Weâve never seen the like. Incredible đđđđ
It's so nice to have you ladies back! I missed you on Tuesday. I'm really enjoying your channel and I'm so glad I found y'all. You have such a wholesome đ mother-daughter relationship with each other and you're always in such lovely surroundings on your adventures. Much love and lots of good vibes to you both from your friend in North Carolina.
Oh, that plate is my pick for the windowsill of wonders!
ââŠand another bottle! âŠand another bottle! âŠand another bottle!âŠâ
I have dreams like this where I find endless items and there are just too many to carry⊠Itâs very unsettling because I eventually lose them all while trying to collect them and carry them.
Must of been the town dump. You are so lucky to have places like that. My husband I used to go to the old Wapello,Iowa USA dump, lots of bottles and dishes from from the 1900s on.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure!đ Those bottle finds were AmAzInG & I think my favorites were the two light blue ones.đ
Also, enjoyed your roundup at the end of displaying your many treasures outdoors, simply beautiful!!
It is a bucket list wish of ours, to visit your beautiful country & perhaps find a treasure or two of our own!â€ïž
Canât wait to see what treasures youâll find next!đâïž
Amazing!đčLoved this one!!!đč
Congratulations, you really found the bottle treasures. You were both like children in a candy store. It was a real joy to watch you both. Thank you
Great bottle finds, a mega dump! It is sad though when bottle diggers undermine the roots of adult trees. :(
I was thinking those bottles would never clean up, but you really got them sparkling. That's a lot of work.
Amazing, i watch each video with awe. Thank you so much
I loved this video of you girls. You two rediscovering history. thanks for sharing this with us. hugs from Brazil to you two.
I love the "little pieces of history" that accompany your finds. Thank you for making the time to include them :)
At 17:48 Alex is so excited her usually more subtle accent becomes quite recognizable. I was with her! I swear I would have climbed thru the screen and joined her if I could!
What a haul! đđ€©
I adore the old terracotta plant pots! Would love to sift somewhere like that! Usually if you find plastic pots, either they have been planting trees or somebody has dumped cannabis plants đ That ginger beer would have been a dream to find intact and that weird swing top stopper is great! Look at the haul đ
You are so fortunate to live where you live and to have all that history. Todayâs hall was the very best of everything. The flower pots and all the bottles the medicine bottles and pate dishes jam jars and pipes. What is even more special is the lovely relationship you both have with each other and the interest that is so special. What a lovely mother daughter relationship I am so happy for you both. I just love your channel but especially videos like this one it reminds me of your early videos. You have a way of making me feel like i am right there with you. I wish I could support you financially but Iâm old and not able to work anymore. I can support you with word of mouth which I do every chance I get. If you travel you are always welcome to visit Lots of love from Diane in upstate New York.
That is so incredible, Iâd love to find just one of these. Do you guys ever sell some of the bottles you find?
You guys have got to go back to this location! You should get a whole gang together! This was the most MEGA bottle dump that I have ever seen! You could fill trucks up with all the bottles and stoneware! Incredible! Thank you for including all of us! You two rock!
They donât believe in digging for bottles.
Wow that is a lot stuff đ
What delightful finds!
You found a hat pin bit,that always brings sad memories.
My mother experienced a house fire in 2009.
One of her cherished items was a hat pin,with a photo of her father,born in 1915.
He red grandfather wore it proudly,celebrating the birth of his first son.
It was reduced to ashes in the fire,my mother only had it for a month or so,before it was destroyed.
We both wept.
That's such a sad story ((hugs))
Oh my goodness, this video had me trying to catch my breath. There were so many bottles, pots, and other beautiful things. It definitely was the jack pot. I hope you go back there and find more wonderful things. I want to come with you both and mudlark this place. Love you ladies and how much you educate all of us. Thank you
Wow. I'd need to charter a plane if I was there lol. FANTASTIC historic finds! Love love love it xx Teresa đŠđșđ
Congratulations on the bottles , what an impressive haul , a shame you couldn't take them all !!!
The other finds were great too. Great one ladies, đđ
So many wonderful finds, exciting! Thank you both for sharing your days out. Cheers from Long Beach Ca :)
I just love these old bottles! The new ones do not have the beauty or charm! This was by far one of your best bottle hunt! I am amazed! Please be careful and stay safe, đâ€â€
Wow.What a haul.Enjoy.
Gail you were so excited in the beginning that you didn't even finish sentences đ€Ł What a fun video!!!
What a delightful dump, a great place for someone just starting a collection to go. What a beautiful display of your finds all sparkling in the sunshine.
Just donât ask them where the dump is.
@@TheGreatest1974 Why would I?
So funny to see the words delightful and dump put together, but it is indeed delightful !
Sorry I don't understand, why is all that stuff out in the middle of the woods just sitting there?
@@Yellow-Rose itâs an old ash refuse tip. Bottle diggers have already been there and taken the bottles they collect. The ones that are left are the ones they havenât wanted.
Oh my goodness!!! What a haul! That was absolutely amazing. You found so many wonderful things. I would have had such a hard time figuring out which ones to take home. It was really fun, thanks for including us all. đ
Another thing- I am headed to the UK in July for 3 months from Australia as a gap year trip. Do you have any places to lark/beachcomb that you recommend? If you donât feel comfortable sharing them thatâs okay too! :)
Lots of luck in the muck from down under,
Maisie
Hey maisie. The coast around the north east has glass beaches. Seaham often comes up but because of that its been picked almost clean. Nearby beaches have small amounts of glass which is mostly seafoam colour. Im afraid i dont know any bottle dig sites but hopefully someone will reach out. Have a great trip
You should definitely go back and get more. How many bags did you fill. Beautiful finds. đđșđž
Love your videos. I love all the info you give on the bottles. Keep up the great work.
Love the music playing during the roundup. So relaxing and enjoyable!
I am so excited to see all those bottles! If I were there I would have taken every last one of them!đđđ
This was so exciting. Their enthusiasm is catching. I got a whole set of drawers organized. To the lady that was ill....Get Well Soon. I'm Kathy (75) from Iowa, USA
Quite the haul ladies. I just love watching. So much information. You really need to be acknowledged for OUR learning. Thank you for a wonderful video
I love that you reclaim historical treasures through searching through the layers of time. I just want to know the history of when all these bottles were dumped to get a vision of why they did this. I am glad that you can reap-the harvest of history and bottles through time. I love your knowledge of your finds .
I don't think people thought about the results of dumping huge piles of trash everywhere like we do these days. When all the bottles were dumped, there would have been all sorts of other trash with them that has since returned to the dirt now protecting them. I can imagine it even smelled like our refuse dumps do now. They would have never guessed people would be digging through their old trash, while others watch at home, and finding things they love.đ
Whoever dumped the bottles should have been fined with sacrificial damage đ and fly tipping. BUT the likes of me and, of course you, would not see and learn of their history. Thank you for sharing your stories xx
I know this video isn't new and you might not read this post but , I'm going to try to reach out anyhow... âș
I'm a fairly new subscriber, that is currently binge watching all of your videos. đ(Didn't get to bed until 4 in the morning last night/morning. Just one more and then, just one more... LOL) Enjoying myself thoroughly!! As well as finding it very tranquil/calming watching the both of you. It is so wonderful to see the mother and daughter interaction and, that you are doing something you both love together. I wish more families would practice the togetherness. I do believe it would strengthen the bonds between parent and children and make the world a much more peaceful society.
Anyhow, I'm finding that I'm nearly as happy as you guys are when you find your "treasures". Most other folks wouldn't even take the time to look down, much less pick whatever up, which is a crying shame since so much of our history is within those finds.
Also, I've been going through a very rough patch this past year so, thank you for your wonderful videos and finds that are bringing both peace and happiness to my heart.
One question. Have you ever thought of or, perhaps you already have a selling page/site where one could not only buy the beautiful jewelry that you craft but also various bottles. I absolutely LOVE the tiny bottles, both for putting small items in but, also for when I make my herbal tinctures/elixirs etc. I know I can buy new bottles but, I'd much rather have the old bottles with the history. I'm in Sweden, so I know I'd most likely have to pay custom fee's on what is shipped here, unless Scotland is still a member of the EU? I don't keep up to date on those things. Regardless, I would very much feel it was worth it. I have no idea where I could find authentic old tiny bottles here in Sweden and dumps/dig sites such as you have over there, I've never heard of on this side of the "bay".
Much love and happy future hunting's â€đ

Bottles and bottles! So amazing Gail and AlexâŠgreat finds today! Congrats! Lovely have a grand day! Love from California đč
I love that you take us along on your adventures and bring us full circle by providing the history behind the finds!
I love the excitement of historical finds... and saving of history .
You two found every bottle diggers fantasy land !!! You found unique beautiful colors of bottles that are so impressive !! And displayed beautifully †are you putting some of those up for sale ?? If not, then you two have to go back and get all of us some beautiful bottles too đ by the way, happy Memorial day Alex and Gail !! Love you both †đ
This was absolutely AMAZING! I hope youâre going back and take us with you! Iâm just blown away!
I really enjoyed all the different bottle types. My favorites were the sky blue ones, but all were lovely. Thanks.
Oh my goodness I've never seen so many bottles, not even in a shop. I loved hearing the history of some of them, thats what makes your channel so popular. Thank you, loved it xx
What an amazing day you had! I love the sky blue glass bottles, they almost look to be made of ice.
So exciting! Some of the style of bottles are just beautiful. The cranberry dishes and test tubes! What a day ladies! Truly such fun! Thanks for helping me out of my slump! đđđŠ
You 2 ladies landed in âBottle Paradiseâ!đ WoW, what an overwhelming amount(and a small fortune) of treasures just for the pickingâŠ.Just love it! God Bless both of you and thanks sooo much for âmakingâ my Saturday Night Special great!!! đđŒâ„ïžđđŒđđŒ Best of luck on your next adventure(canât waitđ)âŠ.đđđ
Btw, the Kutnowâs story is fascinating!!đđŒ
How clever , at the end of the video, to show the various types of bottles, bits and bobs. I really appreciated you sharing the differences.
Oh .... I am green with envy! What a great discovery...thank you for taking us along!
Missed seeing you two. âșïž
Was actually watching your past videos and when I finished there was the notification of new video. đ
Hope you two have been well and happy.
The most compelling, addictive site I've seen.......I'm binge-watching! Thank you!
Really enjoyed the video and appreciated the breaking down by the type of bottles---- would have been very hard to discern the types on the crowded table with all of the fantastic finds. Appreciate how hard to choose which to leave/which to take.
Loved the Fennings bottle when I was small my mum used to buy fennings cooling powders when me and my sisters were poorly it tasted good lol xx
Wow what a wonderful video again, if you ladies keep this bottle finding up You might wind up with a bottle museum. I love the different colors and shapes and sizes. Thanks again stay safe
Can you imagine taking Sarah there đ€Šđ»ââïž you guys and Mick would never get her out there đ To much to choose A favorite! Thanks! đđWVđșđž
I love your videos and look forward to them. Such an amazing bottle dump. I an't imagine what lies under the ground. You've just touched what's on the surface.
The bottle with the stopper with the crack in it, is beautiful. That crack shows it's age and gives it character.
PD &Co is Park Davis & Company. Bottles are a treasure none the less. You hit the motherload ladies!
So farâŠsooo lovely! Amazing finds!đ
Thank you! đ xx
Amazing!
