- Yes, the name of this video is a pun, or more accurately a play on a Shakespeare quote, please forgive me... I was very tired and couldn't think of anything less silly. Perhaps I didn't want to.
I returned to find more treasures from the dump; that flood waters had kindly washed out and carried to convenient places for me to find; a few select beaches downriver.
I hope the resulting footage makes for an enjoyable video.

#Mudlarking
Poisonous , not to be taken , ooooo I am taking it 😂😂😂, you sir are hilarious
Thank you so much for another of Tom's Excellent Adventures. What a bountiful day. Don't let Kit and the Kaboodlers know that you found five gob stones on one day.
I would never leave and I’d want to take all of those treasures!!! You’re so fortunate to have locations like that. I’m envious!
It is a special site, and one I'll be going back to many times in the future. Sorry you don't have similar... keep looking though; old maps and google maps are great for finding old dumps and spots with good potential.
I cannot believe the things you find! And the things you leave behind! I am so jealous! You have the best mudlarking video yet! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Thanks Claudia, I'm surprised too by the volume of things I find sometime. I'm glad you enjoyed this video 🙂
I would spend hours combing that beach. So many great treasures!
I think I've spent in excess of 12 hours on that beach so far, and I'll keep going back 🙂
You have quickly become one of my favorites. I enjoy your adventures so much, and look forward to the next. Thank you Tom 👍👍
Thank you, that's high praise indeed. I hope that even though I will surely make disappointing videos occasionally, you will continue to enjoy the better ones. 👍
I don't even know where to start! Amazing finds! Pipe bowls, clay marbles, game pieces...oh my! I am so impressed! I love the clay jars, so many uses for them! With all your followers, I think you could add some to your etsy page and make a lot of people happy. Maybe you could add that to your 900 thing's to do list...ha! Wonderful time larking with you, as always. Oh, and so glad you went back for Mr. Skeleton. Take care, see you next time! xx ~Jen
Thanks Jen, I'm so glad you had a good time watching this. :) Etsy is approaching the top third of my project list now, so hopefully it'll happen in the nearish future. I am starting to run out of space for new finds, so could certainly do with re-homing some things. Warm regards, Tom.
Hope your Etsy store offers English clay pipes. I would cherish it forever. Love the video - leigh from America
Yes please. I'm in New Zealand so we don't have them here. I'd love to buy a small 1 easy to ship.
Enjoy your videos very much. Finding such a place to scavenge would be so much fun.
Thank you. Google Maps, especially with Satelitte overlay, and any old maps are a great place to start... they're how I found this site.
I love that you stay low....so WE get to find and eyeball the area 🥰🥰 that’s THE BEST
Amazing lot of finds on that first small beach, so many lovely bits! I did not expect to much when you crossed over but again you came upon so many beautiful tiny bottles. Thank you Tom for taking me along with you, thank you for allowing me to travel to the UK and walk the rivers and streams, something I could never do without you!
Thanks Robin, I'm glad you enjoy coming along on my explorations around the West Yorkshire waterways hunting for old things. And yes, that site is amazing, every time the river rises, it carves out new old things to find 🙂
I thought I had seen all of your videos, but while looking for one with running water to sleep to I found this one. You did well this day, finding many exciting things. I'm a little later falling asleep but well worth the time.
Such wonderful finds! 30+ bottle stoppers! What fun!
Thank you, I agree, that day was a lot of fun. 🙂
Also glad you were able to find that little Skeleton figure that you missed first time around ❤
Thanks, do I love that little skeleton 🙂
You are a soothing man to listen to and I love the items you choose to keep! Thank you for sharing with us around the world!
What spectacular finds! I think the small cobalt blue bottle is great, I hope you keep it. Thank you for a great video, take care and stay safe ❤️🇦🇺 xxx
I'm so envious of the sites you have to mudlark. We're landlocked, and have nothing like this. I'd be in heaven there!
I'm pretty much landlocked too... I live about halfway between the east and west coast of England. This site is very unusual anywhere I think, most such dumps were usually built away from rivers... I think there would be similar dumps near most western towns, but the ones that haven't been built on are mostly still underground. I am very lucky to have found it, and to live quite close by. 🙂
Amazing finds! Yay the skeleton again!!! Those beaches are fair Aladdin’s caves.....what lovely bottles and stoppers... I never get bored of looking with you ......many thanks 😃
Thanks Wendy, I've at least another one video shot there (plus the one currently uploading); had a great time. I'm in lockdown now, and the spring and summer will probably pass without a video from that site, but one day I'll probably get back. 🙂
Sometimes your enthusiasm overshadows your nonchalance and it is delightful.
Loads of good finds most excellent
Thanks, that was a good day. 🙂
At this period you approach the hunt with such enthusiasm and delight
Tom I hope you are well. I enjoy our adventures together , a wonderful respite from lockdown. Your calm voice and joy in the discovery keeps me coming back. 👍😀💕
Thanks Julie. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well too. Lockdown is tough, but it's not forever; just seems like it a bit. 🙂
Your voice is very pleasing and calm; like Bob Ross. I could listen to you all day. I love all of the wonderful historic items that you've found. Nice!
Thank you. I'm aiming to start a new channel some time this year where I just talk, perhaps doing book readings, though I am planning on many more mudlarking videos too.
Wow!!! What wonderful finds!!! Great beach for sure!!! Thank you for the adventure!!💕🇨🇦🇬🇧😷
You have absolutely no idea how bad I want to go to that beach!!! Unbelievable the amount of history on that one stretch. A little bit of everything, and of course me being me, I would want to keep EVERYTHING!!! Small medicine bottles, small poison bottles, clay marbles, clay pipes, game pieces, bottle stoppers(glass and vulcanite!), and on and on and on. Just simply unbelievable that a place like that exists! Like you chaps across the pond would say, "I'm gobsmacked"!!!
Yep, it is an incredible place, I don't think my CZcams channel would be doing half as well without it, and I've had a great time exploring it and finding things. There is a legendary place on your side of the pond that probably exceeds this one many times over; Dead Horse Bay in Brooklyn, NY. I think by-laws say you're not supposed to take anything from there, but people do.
What a wonder video! I could spend hours on those beaches, looking and collecting. I to love the colored glass and the tall thin ones are so graceful. I love the stoppers, they make the tall thin bottles so stunning if they fit. I cant wait to see what you do with the figurines. And I'm so happy you found the skeleton! He needed a good home.
Thanks Mary. I'm afraid most of the stoppers I find don't fit most of the bottles. But I'll keep looking. The skeleton is sitting on the bookshelf above my computer now, he's got plenty of good books to read, and also some alcohol if he fancies it; I don't drink it much and he's welcome to it as long as he doesn't get too drunk and fall off the shelf... that could be tragic.
I’m watching and seeing all these pottery shards I would’ve picked up! From the looks of your other videos I’m sure you have so many shards you don’t know what to do with them all! LOVE the dump videos! Wish I was there!
Yes, I've got a large box full of shards now. I'm learning how to identify their ages, but it's slow going and I don't have many project ideas for the pottery yet. Might have to be even more selective before too long... which leaves more to find for other people.
@@tomburleigh9261 Hope to find a shortcut with words to pass a few ideas. Shards of China or pottery can be used to line a birdbath. Or perhaps a large nearly flat tray. Could then be used for displaying some of your bottles. Another could be a welcome sign for the front entrance. Use a bold color for the wording and plain or small print for the background. Bucket handles and other pieces of metal could make a mobile for the garden. I enjoy your videos very much. I hope they continue for a long time.
Enjoyed this very much Tom. Thanks for taking me.
Oh the bottles! the everything. I'm so fascinated and wish there was a place like that around here. Congrats on all the amazing things you gathered. All those tiny and unique shaped perfume bottles! swooning gently
Thanks. There may possibly be somewhere similar to this one near you, old maps and google maps satellite view were how I found this one.
@@tomburleigh9261 Yes, there are old dumps, particularly in the older parts of town, and the small communities nearby. But European settlement around here only goes back about 150 years, so while there are likely amazing finds, they will never match the ages of your locale. Still, definitely a good plan; I shall pursue.
Seeing lots of blue and white pottery fragments. Wish I was there to collect. My favorites and make beautiful mosaics.
Yes, unfortunately I've already got a box full of blue and white pieces, and I haven't gotten around to the intended mosaic project yet. It's certainly a project I still intend to do one day, but my limited creative energies have been going elsewhere recently...writing music, writing a book and making videos.
@@tomburleigh9261 I too am into creativity and there are never enough hours in a day to do everything in my mind. In the meantime, I will enjoy your videos and dream about blue and white mosiacs. Blessings always.
Wow what a good spot. Worth going back over and over.
Yep, I think I've been there 7 times now, and I'll be going back soon 🙂
The tiny bottles are beautiful!
Thanks!
This by far is one of your best videos. You found so much. I would never leave. Love finding treasures. I no you don't keep all that you find. I don't know how you part with it. Wish we had places to hunt where I live. Love watching.👍🇺🇸
Thank you for taking us along with you
I absolutely love the tiny little bottles you find! If I were there they would all be going home with me. ❤ I also really like the clay pipe bits.
Impressive array of finds! I keep the ceramic/porcelain doll parts too.The tiny cobalt looks like an Evening in Paris perfume. Glad you kept the ceramic with the pour spout (a master ink?). Even with the damage, it's a beauty.
Thanks! Yes, I think that ones is a master ink, and the one without the pour spout was probably a stove black, or shoe polish bottle.
I love the little bottles especially the blue and green ones great video as usual
Thanks Tom, what a great spot to find treasures. Can’t wait for the next video.👍🏼
Thanks Diane. Next video will certainly be a less bountiful one though.
The brass bit you found @ 18:36 is of the base of a fireplace "I forget the name but it will come to me" The cream stoneware bottle was used for furniture polish some had boot polish in but that was mainly the brown ones. You have found a lot of good stuff, a whole bottle digs worth there. I love the clay marbles and the knuckle bones game pieces.
Thanks Kevin, for some much appreciated information.
I agree tom, you had some very good finds and picked well, God bless...
Thanks for taking us along.
You're very welcome.
Just very hard not to take most you come across. At least for me too many keepers. You found so many great finds. What a wonderful place to comb and hunt for treasures from our past.
Your Voice Sounds like a hypnotist calm and relaxing
Thanks, I have been told my voice helps some people to sleep, others to relax, others still say they get some pain relief from it. I hope no-one is actually hypnotised by it; but if they are, I really hope they suffer no ill effects, like being persuaded to go walking in a river.
A youtuber named si finds shows u what to put on scratched up bottles to make them look pretty. On a couple of his videos. Interesting.
You have a wonderful bonanza there on your beaches. Worth coming back to again and again after each flood rain.
Fun video
Thanks, I'm intending to give the method he uses a try. I've been learning from him for a while, and from other youtubing mudlarkers. Glad you found this video fun.
28:39 I really like this brown with a tan (?) under glaze. The delicate little lip pull for the liquids to pour from is more fun than the fancy ones or the deeply pulled ones. I'm glad it got a home.
I agree, the simpler pots with practical purpose are far more appealing to me than something overly complicated in its decoration. 🙂
What wonderful finds! I would love to play knuckle bones. Someday!
I have tried it with the game pieces I found; it's pretty difficult to get the hang of, and probably needs another player to make it really fun. 🙂
Such a wondrous array of finds!
Leg Day! Good finds. I am going to have to look up the rules and how to play Knuckle Bone. The last two tiny bottles were so beautiful. Loved the colors.Ahhh, love the skeleton.
So glad you got the skeleton second time round 👍🏻
Still one of my favorite finds. 🙂
Oh my! This beach is the first I’ve wanted to reach through the camera lense and grab things you ignore! The pottery bowl both on land and in the water, the glass stopper you missed, the piece of bright blue! 😃😃😃😂
Would love to see some of your projects that you collect all these cool finds for. great video's keep them coming.
Thanks, I'm still a bit too busy for my intended craft projects, but hopefully soon a few will be worthy of showing off.
You are so chill. I love it, & yourr videos.. you like what you like, & thats great. At least we get to see what your leaving behind.
I love the game pieces and tiny bottles. I have quite a few tiny ones myself and love to just look at them. Nice job today Tom
Thanks Elizabeth.
Forget the jars and and stuff that you put into the side God bless you that you can find what you want
When I was a kid, [75 years ago] I liked to wander around looking at the ground. "looking for stuff" There were no beaches or rivers nearby but I did check out the ditches. I'd find broken colered glass, sea shells and sometimes pennies or other coins. I have a foggy memory of someone sitting me down in about six inches of river water and I discovered the beauty of river pebbles .I really enjoy watching Tom "looking for stuff".
I happen to appreciate that you don't take everything. It gives other people a chance to collect some of the smaller bottles as well. Most people would take them all or sell them all. I thank you for giving others a chance to collect them. As for the milky glass pots, I use that Lysol toilet bowl cleaner to get the stains off of your pots. Its the blue one, that's called Lysol with 10x power clean. I don't have to scrub so hard. It also depends on the amount of crud on the items. You just have to soak them in the sollution longer. It takes off the rust stains to. I found this out by using it on my crystals and some of my semi precious stones. It will also dissolve calcite, and if the directions are followed properly, then it will be something you want on hand as a cleaner and so many other uses. I was amazed at how well it cleaned old rust stains and I was so impressed.
Thanks Crystal and Robert Dominguez🙂 I'm not sure where I can get Lysol in the UK, but I'm looking for an alternative brand with similar ingredients and will give it a try. I'm glad you see an upside of me not taking everything, that's one of the reasons I don't, but the main reason is that cleaning everything I take, takes about 3 times as long as it takes to find it, and is much less fun. 🙂
Excellent area to find things ! K eep on Tom , love watching your videos ! Feel like Iam there with you mudlarking 👍😁
Great walk yet again, enjoyed seeing your finds. Keep up the good work. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks Alison :)
So cute those little bottles are so cute
Oh how I love your videos and finds! My troubled spirit needed your soothing voice, lovely music and scenes of the beautiful countryside....thank you
And thank you for a lovely comment. I'm glad you get so much out of them.
Wonderful finds!
Thanks!
Love all of the beautiful small bottle finds :)
Thanks 🙂
I really love the stoneware you find over there. In America we only have the boring white and brown jugs
We do have some wonderful old things to find in the UK. The US does too, just different things; I'd love to head over there one day for some very different treasure hunting, like metal detecting on Florida's treasure coast, creek walking for Megaladon Teeth, and Herkimer New York diamond mining 🙂 I do agree, the stoneware I can find here is sometimes very beautiful.
Looks like paradise to me! All those tiny bottles and poisons...so lucky! Carrie
Thanks Carrie, I agree. Certainly got lucky finding the dump, and even luckier to be correct in my guess that the beaches downriver would be great hunting grounds after the flood.
What a place Tom, i would jumping for joy! Great finds ! So i know u will go again sometime, so look forward to that! But yer great video...i could watch this for hours!😃
Thanks Chris. I reckon there'll be at least another 2 videos there this year. Maybe more... if there are heavy rains to bring more treasures.
Enjoying your videos. The small cobalt jar/bottle is from Vicks Vapor Rub. They use to have a metal screw lid. Now jar and lids are plastic.
A lovely walk by the river
I had to chuckle when you said that you knew some of us were watching you pass up things that we would have picked up because it happens to me on every video! 😂 at one point it appeared that you stood right next to a piece of slipware that I definitely would have brought home, I was talking to the video! Great adventure, love seeing everything you find!
Thanks Jo Anne. I did idly think while I was there that it would be fun to do a live stream from there and let watchers dictate what I pick up. But... no reception.
@@tomburleigh9261 That is a good idea for the future!
I had such fun bottle hunting with you!
Thanks, I'm glad!
To clean alot of my bottles i dip into bleach water. Cleans beautifully after getting the dirt off. Removes your bad stains.
Also polident tabs with in water. Good luck
I'm fairly new to your channel. Want to thank you for taking us along on your expeditions. The gentle and smooth tone of your voice makes the discoveries that much more delicious. I live in the state of Arizona in the US, although it has vast beauty, it is mostly hot and desert. Thank you for a glance of your part of the world.
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. I enjoy a few too from Arizona, it does indeed have vast beauty 🙂
What a lovely, calming and meditative video, complete w/ some good humor! Thanks-- you've got a new subscriber!
Also, surprisingly similar type of larking I'd do on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, U.S. Also same eye for similar things-- the things I like to collect too!
Thanks EB A, I hope your larking adventures are filled with fun and treasure finds.
This was the best one so far!
Thanks Kristin, and hopefully I'll make some better ones in the future 🙂
Lovely shards of broken porcelain,wish I coild have walked there!
Certainly is worth a walk whenever I'm in the area. 🙂
How did this vid escape me. Lovely assortment of pocket finds n 2 see the beauty of fire bent bottles, assortment of colours. Fab vid. Thoroughly enjoyable as always.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Lisa 🙂 This video was one of the more fun visits I've had to that place 🙂
What a wonderful place to find so many wonderful cool things love the blue bottle but the skeleton was my favorite so glad you went back to get it I was hoping you would hope one day I can come and look for treasures in your country it’s on my bucket list as usual I enjoyed your videoBe safe Becky
Love this video. All those little bottles and masses and masses of pottery shards I would've picked those up because that's what I love.
But great video all the same
Thanks Deb. I might go one day just to pick up pottery shards... when I've found the tile cutter and have a project in mind. I think it's in the shed somewhere. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Ah, the torment of the beautiful blue and white shards left behind. And of course anything cobalt blue, like the bottle and the green eyebath with the hint of blue. Thank you for the video.
That place looks amazing! I'm starting to realise I'm not the only person who loves finding treasures of bottles and bits of broken pottery!!(just discovered mud larking video's) I would have to take all of the cute little bottles even if I had 5 of one of them already! "I'll take them, I'll take them all" thanks for sharing Tom! Look forward to watching more of your videos!
Thanks Milly. I've taken more than I could really carry every time I've been to this place, and there's still loads more to find and take. I do like a bit of variety though, so my videos do go elsewhere where there aren't any bottles, and will eventually hopefully include craft videos, metal casting videos, and any hobby that takes my fancy videos.
Your art projects sound like they'll be interesting! Good luck with your many searches and resulting videos in that case! Variety is important. I'll realise that when my magpie eyes for bottle finds focus on other things!
The small blue bottle , looks the color of "Evening in Paris" perfume bottles, which came in many shapes & sizes.
Bravo brilliant fella thanks for sharing and caring love from Burnley x
Thanks Carla, glad you enjoyed it. Burnley's on my list of places to visit for a mudlark/explore this coming year. 🙂
Can't wait to see that one some nice river's run through Burnley I have personally walked right through the town centre seen the way it's built up over the centuries x
Those beaches are amazing to search! Love all the finds, really cool! I would be there every day!♡
They're only refreshed every few months when the river gets pretty high; but there does always seem to be more to find regardless🙂
“All together now”...”hold your breath”...your narration is fabulous, thank you!
Good finds
Thanks :)
Lovely thank you Tom 🧓🏻
Thanks Jane, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great finds,love the glass bottle stoppers ,,keep having fun,friend from fla.😃
Thanks sassy Girl2.0, I hope that despite your illness, you can still have occasional fun too 🙂
Thank you again for sharing your finds and your time with us. I very much enjoyed all the finds of the day. As always looking forward to your next adventure.
Thank you!
Nice finds with the game pieces and pretty little bottles. I noticed you passed by quite a few blue and white shards and some pieces of Staffordshire slipware. All in all, quite a rich bottle dump.
Thanks, I do miss lots each time I go. My most recent trip there, I was guiding some other CZcamsrs, and acting as an extra pair of eyes for their videos. I found loads of good things... it's a place that keeps on giving. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Good point! When the site is so rich you can be far more selective than when you're searching a more ordinary or typical one.
Another well done video! I just returned from vacation, spending about 12 days scouring the beach for fossilized shark’s teeth. We found at least 100-150-and I found myself looking for and finding shells a couple of times in your video! Looking forward, as always, to your next adventure!!
Thank you! That sounds like an excellent time... I'm hoping to go fossil hunting fairly soon, but it's unlikely I'll find sharks teeth. I'm a little envious, I love sharks.
Be glad to send you a few. They are really cool, and I like the idea of holding something millions of years old.
Amazed by the condition of the ceramics! Great video!
Thanks! I'm pretty amazed by them too... they've been through rough things, they must have been made to be tough.
Some really nice finds you have thereTom. I'm pleased to see your little treasures, I have been up the woods and river today by a big old stone bridge, and got almost nothing apart from a milk bottle, and drenched by river water. I quizzed the locals over a refreshing ale the routes & access to our old tip that closed in the 70's, so may strike lucky next time ⚱🏺
Thanks Mandy, I hope you do strike it lucky next time. But even if you don't, I hope you have lots of fun :) .
thank you for this delightful trip out. l so wish l could be out doing the same, your films are great, you have a knack of talking in a relaxing tone hence slotting film of the views and finds together beautifully. see you on the next video.
I think the round one is a smelling salts bottle my mum used to have one when I was little
Thanks, I think you're probably right. 🙂
Love your adventures, I would like to see some of your projects sometime!
Thank you. I was planning to make some craft videos; lock-down away from home hasn't helped and has put back my schedule a while, but I'll get there eventually. 🙂
What a lot of body parts! lol It always amazes me how much you find and this video didn't disappoint :) It was a lovely change to see how full your rivers are after our foray to the beaches of Europe. They were so clean! Good for the environment though, so that's a positive :) 18:40 I'd say was a joint from an old brass bed headboard.
Thanks Caroline and Phil, I hope that even though the beaches were clean, you managed to find some treasures and adventures, and that you both had a wonderful time.
I know that you couldn’t possibly see or grab everything, but... YOU PASSED BY SO MANY GOOD THINGS! Oh well... a good excuse for you to return!
I've already been back another time :)
"The object of the game is similar to jacks in that each player must toss one bone into the air, pick up the others, and then catch the first bone before it falls, all in one hand. Five to nine bones are used to play the game. Knuckle bones was also a dice game played with only four bones." - internet search
New subscriber from Indiana. I'm dumbfonded at the number of unbroken bottles and stoppers. If I lived closer I would love to join you in your adventures.
Thanks, I'm a little amazed by how much that site gives up too.
The wee blue bottle is a purse size " Evening In Paris" perfume bottle.
Thank you, you're right! Now I kinda want to smell Evening in Paris... or go to Paris.
What fun! This is my first watch of your videos. It was great fun! So much to sort through! I was in love with the beach! I really like when I can see things I would have gathered up. Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you, I'm glad you had such a lot of fun.
Found you because of Nicola White. I love all your videos so much. However I do sometimes seethe with jealous rage at the bottles you find. This was an especially amazing find video. Please don’t stop making these, they light a fire for me to get out there and continue the search.... even if I am in America where I never find as amazing things as you do.
I'm very grateful to Nicola for filming with me; it was such a fun day, I made a friend, and it's resulted in lots of nice people finding my channel too. 🙂 I'm glad you enjoy my videos.
Soo much to pick through WOW !!!, I would have a hard time, to walk away from all those bottles , all are beautiful 😀thank you for taking us along with you , we truly enjoy your videos 👍👍
Thanks, I do always want to go back there, almost as soon as I've left. Glad you enjoy my videos so much!
Wow I was surprised of all the nice things you found. I liked watching your video
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
