- The river constantly changes; and the site featured in this video is undergoing considerable engineering works that will change it rapidly... so this place which concentrates bits and pieces from a thousand years of human habitation (and beyond)... might not be such a great little larking spot for long. This was the first place I filmed at, and nearly a year later, this was my last visit to it in 2019.
I hope you enjoy this video, if you do, please give it a like, a subscribe, a comment, a share... whatever you feel comfortable with. Suggestions, comments and criticisms are all welcome.

“Those are the bits the river has a taste for” prime Tom sentence! 😊
The words,the words that accompanied that final marble find.
That was award winning wordsmithing!!
I watched it at least 3 times,a masterpiece.
I’m talking about 20:46.
Remarkable commentary.
I love to see every bit of pipe stem, and bottle stopper!!! Never bored!!!
Thank you, 🙂
Glass bottle stoppers and marbles are always fun. Thanks again for sharing your time.
And thanks for watching and commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Thanks for the new video! I love them so much I get genuinely excited!
Ditto me!
And me!
Aw, thank you 🙂
“Possible piece of a porcelain porcine” made my day! Now, if you’d put those glass bottle stoppers online so I could buy them for my Canadian windowsill . . .
You make my day.... I smile more watching your videos than anything on CZcams and Thanks for reading and responding to my comments I completely understand how difficult it is responding to each one and truly I don’t think anyone expects you to answer each one..... personally I am so glad to hear from you as I never expected such a thing to happen and I wanted you to know how grateful I am that even though we are half a world away from one another I can enjoy your company for a lark 👍🏻💕no need to respond as I know just how long that takes and I don’t want you to feel it’s a chore🙏🏻💯The various body parts you find that don’t make it into one of your other projects might look good as a mobile/ wind chime not to be bashed against each other but to hang from various pieces of cord or wire or perhaps with a hole drilled through and stacked upon a metal rod in a grotesque totem pole with various limbs reaching out...just a thought 💭 I too enjoy the macabre 😏
It's exciting when you find body parts!! To dolls.😊 love the scenery.
Mr. Burleigh I am currently suffering surprising anxiety over an upcoming surgery. When I find myself coming out of my skin your intro guitar repeats in my head and calms me. Thank you.💕
Soaking those uncleanable crocks in OXY clean and warm water will clean them up a treat. Using a tile saw to remove the damaged lip would upcycle them into lovely useful pots.
A wander beside natures natural tumbler with you, was this day a delight. The many and varied examples of burnished baubles and bits was especially gratifying, and made me wish I could be there.
Thank you for another fine lark along the rivers edge. Such places and finds enlarge ones scope for the imagination. How sublime!
I enjoy watching the miracles of water and stones!
Truly, the water is a master sculptor of both land and stone. 🙂
Your videos are a real treat - thank you for uploading.
Aw, thank you. 🙂 I'm glad you think of them like that.
Tom-I enjoy your dry and wry comments. I like your opening music, which I see on the description bears your copyright. Very nicely done. :)
Thank you, I wrote it especially for my mudlarking videos... and writing the music for them has helped me improve as a musician. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 this is such an odd coincidence. As I started watching this weeks video, I thought out loud that this is one of the very rare channels where I actually enjoy the music. I would never have said anything but as I scrolled through the comments, to up vote like minded posts, I came across this one and learned that you are the author. This channel keeps getting better. Thank you.
Hi Tom Excellent video love it. all th fine waiting for your video
Thanks Raima Mohommed, I'm glad as ever that you enjoyed it 🙂
I absolutely loved your theory about the marble deposits! Good times! Hopefully the construction doesn't take all the good spots away. I love going on walks with you no matter where.
I really enjoy your videos. Some of your comments just make me chuckle. Thank you for sharing your mudlarks with us.
Thank you, I'm glad you like them so much 🙂
I also love the little glass bottle stoppers !
They are pretty things, I hope I can make something equally pretty to display them all one day. 🙂
So many glass bottle stoppers! How fun!
Yes, it's a great little spot, and there's always something that makes it fun to go there. 🙂
I think Richard Hennery would find the pottery interesting! Love our walks with you. Thank you for taking us along x
I'd love to have Richard Hemery visit this area, though I'd be a bit scared that he might be dissapointed in how recent most things are. It's certainly true that this area is quite heavily populated, but it wasn't for most of history and only became so when the industrial revolution began. I've found a few pieces older, but not many.
I agree...I think it's older than you think
I always enjoy your river adventures. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you, I'm glad you like them 🙂
Another gem..........So glad that you went back for that bottle stopper!! 😂
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it 🙂
Tom, what a wonderful time! I very much enjoy listening to you, so very calming🙂 Thanks for taking us along on your venture!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it and find calm in what I do🙂
I think I have already told you that I am glad you pick up plastic and lead, but I am. I carry two bags when I walk the beach here in Florida, one for beach glass and shells, the other for trash. People are often amazed that I pickup trash. My thought is think how much cleaner our world would be if we picked it up rather than tossing it down. Great video with wonderful finds. Thanks Tom.
Debbie Bonner I do the same. Hopefully more people will.
Love bottle stoppers and small bottles. Love the scenery in your videos
...everything you said before, 'a cod marble, yay!!' The poet in you! 🇺🇸🇬🇧
That was a productive mudlark. So many pipe stems and bottle stoppers! Great fun as always. Thanks for taking us along with you :)
It's a great little spot, I'd happily take you there sometime if the fencing comes down and the shape of the river hasn't been changed so much that things don't get dropped there anymore. Can't complain at the flood aleviation works really; bad for mudlarkers, but Hebden Bridge flooded again today. I hope your area hasn't been hit hard by the Storm. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 That sounds like fun! Thanks :) Yes, I saw the pics of Hebden Bridge this morning. It's pretty bad. Not too many bad reports here, but it sounds like a monsoon outside!
“Partial piece of a pottery porcine” fave quote of the video
“Cod bottle marble, yay”. 😄
🙂
Some wonderful finds and so glad you pick up rubbish. Thank you.
The Victorian tip near me..now golf course...comes down to the beach. I have been beachcombing there for over 30 years...in all that time I have only found 6 bottle stoppers..which I love. Watching you shovel them up by the dozen on this vodeo does not make me bitter..cough..well maybe a bit jealous ;)
Oh wow, sadly I haven't found a decent, un-dug victorian tip near me. We can make each other a bit jealous ;)
"A partial piece of a porcelain porcine"❣️ Oh, Tom Burleigh❣️
This is one of my favourite channels to watch and I've been thinking of creative uses for broken pipe stems - beads, maybe for windchimes, easy to work with a dash of sandpaper.!!?!
What a fun expedition! All your finds are interesting, I particularly like the scraps of figurines, dolls, pigs, and I didn't see any but child china pieces from old tea sets. I have a few printer type trays that I collect pieces and parts in. Using putty to hold pieces in place I'm going to run tiny rice lights thru the tray to light the darker areas. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful! I’m a beach glass and rock collector. I live in Oregon USA. Love watching you finding treasures. When I move back to the Coast, I plan to beach hunt when I can.💐👍🏻🌟
I like the peaceful vibe you put to your videos
Thank you 🙂
Always great to wake up to another journey with you. A wonderful way to start the day.
Have a great evening thank u Tom mudlarking
Thank you, and you have a great evening too Raima Mohommed 🙂
I adore the cute little piggies!,😊
Love your videos so much . Thank you for brightening my day .
Thank you, I'm glad my video could do some day brightening for you. 🙂
A Lovely fossil. ! And I like the piggies too ! Until your next video , stay well
Thanks, I hope you stay well too 🙂
I truly enjoyed this lark, so many great finds! The river scarred and tumbled ceramic ink pot was my favorite find, and the bottle stoppers! My goodness, so many today...how fun! Thank you for taking us on your relaxing walk through history.
Tom, I've been, well, lurking on your larking and thought this time I'd say Hello! I spotted the plain bottle stopper just a second before you did and shouted (well, in my head). So funny that at times I'm pointing to something (also in my head) and hoping you'll pick it up. Your voice, music and adventures are a fabulous treat to myself after a hard day in the garden or just working on the farm. LOVE that little brown pot :-) Pam (Puget Sound area of Washington State USA)
As an inveterate Puget Sound beachcomber, wish we could find more interesting stuff here. I've found a marble now and then, but playthings and not from cod bottles. I think my best find was an unbroken sand-scoured, sun-purpled olive jar on Vashon Island forty-some years ago. My dad found a large piece of a jadite Indian axe on San Juan Island in the 1940's and a twine wrapped bamboo tub (relatively fresh flotsam) in the 50's.
I appreciate that you are alone so I didn't have to listen to mind numbing small talk. You have a wonderful voice.
Thanks for taking us along with you , I realy love thoes little pigs , fantastic finds , bottle stopper heaven I think !
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂 I certainly always seem to find bottle stoppers at that beach, I do wonder how many are buried in the sand, which is piled up 6ft above the usual waterlevel.
Hi Tom I hope you and family and friends keep safe with yet another storm approaching this weekend, we are so lucky to live miles away from the river seven, I look forward to see your next video and what surprises you will find. Keep safe
Cod bottle marble, yeah.🤣😂 Just like a young lad. Plethora of small things for crazy crafts. Blessings
Beautiful video! Love the stretches of rocky beach, in focus and in detail. No Dramamine needed. Thank you for taking me along!
I LOVED your scientific explanation when you found the cod bottle marble where you didn’t expect it!! The places you mudlarking are so interesting and beautiful. Your buildings and rivers have so much history behind them! Thanks for taking me along, I was able to escape the bone chilling cold and constant rain, rain, rain for a while. See you on the next adventure! Yay!
I think the pipe stems may make a great sounding wind chime...could be a fun project. As always loved your adventure...great finds!
Thanks Kim, it's an idea that's been suggested a few times, and may indeed be a fun little project. I don't really have a suitable outdoor space for it at the moment, but I might make one as either a gift or a givaway item. 🙂
A very nice hunt! Love the fossil and the little brown ink pot. Thanks & H.H.!
All of the green bottle stoppers would be beautiful in a clear glass bowl - they are amazing.
Thanks for the idea; maybe I'll make a bowl out of bottlestoppers, set into resin 🙂
Hopefully the beach is not ruined by the plans that are ensuing. Great finds in the video today. I think the petrified wood was my favorite.
Alas, my home town, (about 2 miles upriver from this beach) was flooded again today, so even if the works do ruin the beach, I can't really be upset by attempts to stop that from happening. Glad you liked the fossil, stone and fossil hunting was one of my first hobbies. 🙂
Tom Burleigh rocks are my first love as well. Especially fossils. As I watch the mudlarking videos, I yell out often. “ there to the left of that shard of pottery! The round smooth rock! Turn it over! “ 🤣 I’m afraid my bag would be as full of rocks as treasures if I were able to do this!
I paint on round, oval smooth stones now. As well as pick up rocks that speak to me.
Thank you 😁I enjoyed this very much👍
Hiya tom very enjoyable as always and a great round up, thanks a mill 👍🇮🇪
Thanks Sid, I'm always glad to see your comments 🙂
Thank you for the video, agree with the others about your calming voice, you would make an excellent hypnotist.
Thank you, I'm not sure what the future might be for my voice, it's been strange to find out how much people can get out of it; it helps insomniacs to sleep, anxiety sufferers to relax, and gives a few chronic pain sufferers a short relief from their conditions. I might record a few audio book things, and who knows... someone might offer me a job one day narrating nature documentaries, or similar, that would be awesome 🙂
Tom Burleigh you have a wonderful, soothing voice. You should be narrating documentaries or those audio books. Maybe voiceovers?
I love your fascination with marbles. I feel the same way. I found four on my last adventure.
I sometimes expect Phil Johnson to call out "I found a brick!" from behind you during your videos 😁
Your scientific observation made me giggle so hard. But at least you got a marble! Finding three porcelain porcine remnants was also very funny. For the first time I think I saw you miss a small metal buckle under some of the weeds.
I reckon I probably miss quite a lot, I can't always see what the camera sees because we look at a place from different angles. 🙂I'm glad my not very scientific observation was fun for you, and yes... a marble is a rewarding find 🙂
What a beautiful bit of waterway,I do hope that is not been compromised.
When will we start respecting the flow,the way that water takes a natural path,a path of least resistance?
We must respect this.
Some lovely little finds! I was wondering how the mega dump would be holding up in this horrible storm! :)
Hard to tell, the river there topped 2m 30cm today; last time I went it was 44cm, and the beach was half covered. I imagine it'll have carved out the cliff face quite starkly, and dropped a lot of things downriver... and though the river isn't going to get as high again in the next few weeks, there's still quite a bit of rain forecast 😕 IF it drops down enough though, it could be wonderfully stocked with good things to find. 🙂
I rather like the idea of you sneaking up on the marbles as they lay there unsuspecting.... But your declamation of fluid dynamics and the predictability of dispersal had me mesmerized. As always, Tom, your commentary adds tenfold to the actual lark. Let's hope you can return to this beach on this stretch of the river as you seem to know it well. You had an abundantly fruitful day.
That declamation sounded like something he had memorized in the past and had to spit out at maximum speed before he forgot it. It was difficult to keep up
@@barbrapierce3269 But worth listening to again to catch it all!
@@salishseaquest7952 I already did since I considered it a good lesson.
By the way, is the Salish Sea recognized by mapmakers in the USA and Canada yet?, or is it another Mount Denali which waited more that 100 years for its acceptance?
@@barbrapierce3269 Salish Sea was formally recognized in 2008.
@@salishseaquest7952 Good and Thank you. I'm only "a little" behind on the local news.....
Love your video the music you play is beautiful and your finds are great tfs xx
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy it. I've got some more music pieces to record this week if I get the chance. 🙂
Looking forward to seeing what you make, and hopefully hearing you narrate the process.
Dear man, I love to see your finds, and the rivers and wild life you show. Sadly, your voice puts me to sleep, literally. I wake up and realize I've missed most of your video.
I love rewatching them. So relaxing. Love the music and his wry sense of humor!
Great and interesting finds again Tom- I particularly liked the hub of the cart wheel. My grandad made wooden barrels and wheels and some of his tools are in the museum in Shibden Hall. He lived and worked in nearby Hipperholme so who knows - maybe that bit of cartwheel was made by him- Mr Frank Walker!
Wow, yes, that would be amazing if it was one he'd made. I've never found anything that I could definitely attribute to an individual craftman, and I guess I can't even with this but it's a nice possibility nethertheless. And that's a thought, Shibden Brook... might be worth having a little wander in there one day. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 He lived and worked on Tan house Hill - the houses are long gone but I guess there must have been some kind of leather work done there as well - hence the name Tan house. Shibden Hall is where I spent my childhood sledging when it snowed!
You crack me up. I love your narration.
Hi Tom;
The glass marbles are always fascinating !! You may know the iraqi poet Khaldoun Jawid ( he lives in UK) who wrot this poem to celebrate his friend's birthday:
" we are your friends,
We are everywhere;
Playing with glass marbles;
In art, in music, in philisophy
In offering and meditating".
(Translated from arabic).
Thanks for sharing. 🤗
Hi Abdelhak, and thank you. I was vaguely aware of Khaldoun Jawid, but I think that's the first poem of his I've seen, and it's wonderful. 🙂
Absolutely love watching your videos ....they are both interesting and very relaxing. These have given me much pleasure whilst I have been recovering from surgery . I hope to see more...well done great vids
I like finding marbles, too. So I have a small bag of them with me ( not my finds, but purchased ones...nice ones) and I toss one out now and then. They are always gone later.
Extremely enjoyable needed your calm voice.Mudlark was great .
Thank you Tom for a lovely trip out along the river. Xxx 🇮🇲
Ooh I want to rummage on that beach too ,beautiful
Wiley marbles (glad you 'caught' two) and a voracious river did not prevent you from finding interesting items. I'm looking forward to your cart once you find all the pieces. ;)
Lovely stretch of river for a walk Tom. I search diligently but theres not a lot you miss. Thankyou for sharing.
I've said before I'll say it again I love your tones way explain objects treasures relics finds it's very chaming. Joy to watch & just like my another favourite you tuber I love watching History Hunter never shows the face to voice men of mystery its another alore to your adventures cheers thanks many regards from Ireland. 👍☘🇮🇪Godbless/peace🙏✌
Good to know there's another youtuber who's doing similar and hiding from the camera, I'll check his channel out, thanks. 🙂 I'm glad you enjoy how I'm doing the things I'm doing, blessings and warm regards from West Yorkshire🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 do its military World War 2 sites but never shows face I'm presently watching video put today he just as passionate about wat he loves history is history even the dark stuff needs be recorded saved just as much a 100yr old bottle washed from river bank. It all has story to tell helps wen teller finder of it is passionate just like you.👍☘🇮🇪
Love your videos! What wonderful finds today.
love the artisitic quality of your videos and your running, very entertaining commentaries
Enjoyable as always!
Thank you 🙂
Beautiful outting, thank you for sharing it.
I love your quiet, understated style of commentary 🙂
You have such a soothing voice, and that mixed with the gentle water and walking sounds in the background is a recipe for sleep for me! Thank you
Thank you, I'm glad my videos can help people in that way 🙂
Great video Tom as always !! Enjoy watching them . Relaxing, interesting, learn something new every time. Think that really neat fossil might make a cool nightstand lamp , that is if you could drill through center without breaking it .
Love your droll sense of humor and voice.
So glad you posted a new video! I miss your adventures! Georgia USA
Love the hiding marbles lol
Lovely video as always, thank you.☮️🇨🇦
Goodness I would be dragging home barrel loads of broken china from there ! Last year after an hour on my home beach I found one chunk of blue and white stoneware and was happy as a kid !!
Afraid I'm rather like a spoiled kid with the amount of stuff I have to find around here; so much that it's lost most of its value to me... and I only really take it now if it's an interesting picture; I can envisage using it in a craft project, or it seems to be very old.
Tom, I wait on pins and needles for every new video to come out. You always are so witty and relaxing, and produce top notch videos!
Aw, thank you. I'm sorry I'm so slow at making them, most other mudlarkers seem to do one a week.
Hi Tom, I was mudlarking that very spot two weeks ago and found my first pipe bowl, I was thrilled! Unfortunately I am now mudlarking my own kitchen after todays floods. I hope your house fared better than mine. Please keep posting the videos, they are wonderful x
So sorry you got flooded, I hope you haven't lost much. My house is up on the side of a hill, a little bit of water came in the back door, but not much. I didn't know for sure that there was anyone else larking that spot, it's a good little place... shame the environment agency is trying so hard to keep people out; (as if they could 🙂).
@@tomburleigh9261 Thanks Tom, I lost mostly white goods that could not be moved but that's the curse of valley living lol. I really like that area for finding pottery and glass and yes, the environment agency are a pain but we will persist x
Such a beautiful, relaxing video. Hi from San Diego, CA USA
Love your soliloquy in this one especially
Your music and commentary is just fantastic
Enjoy you playing hide-and-seek with the river and the mystery object.
Thanks, I do enjoy trying to figure out what the river has hidden. 🙂
I enjoy your videos so much I appreciate the hard work and time it takes you to do this😊
Always a pleasure 👍🏻
Thank you 🙂
thank you for another lovely water walk! i'm reminded of beachcombing as a young girl with my mom, back when seashells could still be found on galveston, couldn't find a single one last time i was there, which is sad and frightening. i find your playful wordage to be most delicious, language is, to me, a favorite toy. i am most intrigued by the fossil you found, it's quite gorgeous, and i, too, would love to see you find a whole one, i wonder what it would look like. thanks again, hp
Scary that the seashells are gone... Galveston is quite a popular place for beach-combing, but it would probably be too much to hope for that people have just taken all the shells!? Glad you enjoy my language, it's my favorite toy too. The fossil would likely look quite like a tree-trunk, only with an almost harlequin pattern to it's outer skin. It's hard to know if the fossil I have came from this, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepidodendron or a species with a similar root structure.
@@tomburleigh9261 yes, i watched galveston bay die, with dow chemical at one end, and union carbide among others at the other end. the bay was a wonderland, islands and beaches, tall grasses, all the requisite seaside life, tidal pools full of microcosmic dramas unfolding, i could watch for hours, now i only remember. i so appreciate your videos, i think you would have loved the tidal ponds
Love your shy sly sense of humour
I just love the pipe stems and bottle stoppers, ah and my favorite, a pottery made ink pot! I also love the ones, I think they call "pork pies" -- is that right? Very cool indeed! Another wonderful day hanging out with you. Until next time, take care! xx~Jen
Perfect finds box!
"A partial piece of a porcelain porcine" 😂 admirable alliteration and as for the description of the marble ....what eloquence!
I gasped out loud when you said youd maybe put the little bottle and one inkwell in the recycling 😥
Ah, yes... unfortunately I have very little space, and bottles in terrible condition are things I would usually leave; they would break up before long in the river, but such is the world we live in. They aren't very appealing to me to keep and I wouldn't be able to find anyone else in the local area who would appreciate them either... I am perhaps spoiled in this regard, because I have access to so many bottles from this period that I could fill all the spaces in my house with inkwells in much better condition. I'm glad you appreciate my words... even if my stance on poor condition bottles and inkwells sits at odds to your own.
@@tomburleigh9261 haha I just think I'd be hard pressed to part with it even poor condition if I found it but I can see your point if youve chance to find better 😁 wonderful relaxing yet exciting videos....many thanks!
With your great voice and inflection, you should narrate murder mysteries, on the radio! Like the old time stories ie: “Murder at Midnight”!! Love your dryness!
