- I went back to a dumpsite I've been to before, and then went looking for another. A nice autumn day, a little bit grey, but came home tired and happy with the things that I found.

#Mudlarking
Mr. Tom,
You help me in a very special way, I suffer from chronic pain and when my levels get high I pop on one of you videos as I wait for the medications to kick in.
Between the beautiful scenery and your very soothing voice, It help me hang on until the meds. do their job.
Thank you,
Lisa
Hi Lisa, I'm here for a similar reason. At the moment I have to lie down most of the time due to pain, and a viewer of another channel (Atomic Shrimp- also highly recommended!) sent me here.
I really enjoy these videos, it's almost like being able to go out myself. And his quiet, storytelling voice is relaxing, isn't it?
I wish you a speedy recovery (if possible) and as many pain-free moments as possible!
Clear, articulate speaking, devoid of far too oft-repeated clichés, is a rare thing indeed these days. Thank you, Tom for restoring my faith in the spoken word.
Ah, the blissful voice, scenery and music. Exactly what dark Sunday nights need. Thank you Tom.
I hope you enjoy it, and I'm sorry your valuable contribution at the end goes unattributed. Thank you Sam 🙂
Oh and with a cup of tea!
07:34 I pine for more than just a vicarious connection to all the British mudlarkers I've been following. Belonging is an essential part of being human, & there's been a dearth of that in my life. I've mostly made my peace with that, being now a senior citizen, but there are still very poignant moments, such as your description of the friend you've yet to meet, Amanda Bell.
You belong, we are a gaggle of mud larky appreciating Sunday viewers. Soothed collectively. All appreciating the babble of river's, and the stories of forgotten finds. Big love 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸
Noralee, we are lucky to have Tom aren't we?! I think about what this time would be like without some of our latest inventions. I love my quiet and am picky about what I watch, just remember, you do belong, with all of us. I will think of you during the next outing. Peace and comfort to you from the US, be safe and well. Lisa
I fell down a mudlarking rabbit hole, landed here, and praise be to all the angels for it. This has been a balm to soothe my troubled soul.
The large round 'onion bottle' shaped vase would make a beautiful display bottle for marbles if you were to shave the top off to make it smooth and include some fine led micro lights Tom. Thank you for sharing and taking us along with you! Take care x
Sheep on the snow in the pastureland of England makes a picture perfect Christmas card 🙂
Sigh, even if you found nothing at all I would greatly enjoy the walk listening to you talk and play, looking at the beautiful scenery and hearing the soothing sounds of the river. The bottles are lovely as well and, as always, I appreciate the environmental clean up. Thank you!
You should definitely return to the second site, your complete codd bottle is there for sure!
Thank you Tom for your soothing voice, the beautiful scenery, the great finds and the wonderful sound of rushing water. Your videos are always over too soon.
Aw, thanks Debbie, that's very kind of you to say. 🙂
Tom,
my wife and I thoroughly enjoy your videos and particularly your commentary and wonderful dry humour! We are trawling through all your videos which, along with those from the Northern Mudlarks and Kit & Caboodle, give us hours of enjoyment. You certainly live in a superb part of England. As you wade through those beautiful rivers we think you may benefit from the acquisition of some waders thereby eliminating the risk of flooding your ''gummies'', Australian term. Your collecting of trash from the rivers deserves recognition.
The cylindrical thing looks to me like the top of a paraffin heater - usually used in greenhouses. It brings back memories of visiting my grandparents house in the Midlands in winter, the house stinking of paraffin fumes from the small heaters heating the landing and upstairs bedrooms.
I would be in my absolute element, all those tiny bottles, love to have all of them.
Ahhh nothing like a lively Tom Burleigh video after a long day - always so relaxing and such great finds along the river! Wish that UV bottle was in one piece but I am sure you'll restore it to its former glory :) Thanks for another great video... Waving from Scotland, Nicole & Craig
You sir have got me through some tuff times. May God keep you safe on all your journeys. Please keep posting videos. I wish you could post once a week .i know that’s a lot to ask but you sir make me very centered. Thank you once again.
Tom you missed another piece of that awesome blue and white pottery, it was right beside the first piece. I was yelling at you but you didn’t hear me. Another very enjoyable walk on the river side.
😂🤣😅
I noticed that too. I started shrieking. 😂
Beautifully done. Thank you Tom.
I have watched this video a least four times and each time I spot something else. I just love your videos. Thank you
I'm a day late, but I enjoyed every second! Love your videos, the wallks, talks and scenery, oh and your finds! Perhaps the element I truly appreciate is, your ability to speak clearly, concisely and intelligently, without an "um" every other word. You are a lovely highlight to my day. Thank you for sharing your world with me. Please be safe and stay well. Signing off from the US!
So beautiful Tom, a bit of a heat headache from the 100+ Degree Fahrenheit and your soothing voice with the wonderful river sounds offering a bit of respite! When I am in a bit of pain your voice, your music, the cracking of the twigs underfoot, the clink of the bottles always relaxes my aching brain releasing the blinding pain. You are better than any painkiller!
Aw, thank you Nancy, I'm sorry you're suffering with the heat. It's a bit like that here but I'm managing to avoid most of it by working downstairs where it's cooler.... though it will be headache central regardless here before the forecast thunderstorms if they materialise. I'm glad my videos can give you a respite from pain, and I hope the heat and your headache dissipate soon.
Hi Tom very beautiful mudlarking I really enjoyed this video amazing finds thank u Tom hope u well take care 👣
It’s another of my happy places! 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Lovely opening scenes. I think that the onion bottle would have made a lovely lamp. The mirrored bottle appears to be the inner bottle of a thermos. The walk along the river and the music accompanying it was wonderful.
I love the piece of tile with the autumnal colours!
I love listening to you speak so clear and relaxing, love the river scenery, the bottles at that dump certainly are a beautiful colour.
Hi Tom, it was a treat to be taken to two dumpsites and i enjoyed it thoroughly!
The view outside your window is spectacular, looks like a painting. You have been blessed by all those gifts and i am so happy for you, you certainly deserved it. Take care and stay safe, Tammy🌻
always a happy moment when you put a new video out
Hello from Oklahoma. I recently enjoyed an adventure you, G ayle and Alex took. I have named you The Walking Encyclopedia. You are a National Treasure. Thanks for increasing my world, Barb
The uranium glass bottle is fantastic, even if you do not make it a "prosthetic" shoulder it would be a lovely sight in a window. enjoyed so much your ramble, not able to do that myself due to "bubble" hiding for work. Being designated essential not because we see the terribly sick but because of what we do for the people who care for them. It is late night here and your voice is very soothing before sleep and hearing the water burble along makes a pleasant good night. Stay well, take care and thank you.
Thankyou for sharing that beautiful stream & special place Tom. I so much enjoy seeing the dynamic flowing patterns of water.
The view of your window with the snow covered hill and the blue bottles in front looked like a painting. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks John. I feel very lucky to be living here, and looking forward to doing some craft work each day standing in front of that window, seeing the ever changing light. 🙂
What an amazing view!! I love the color of bottles and then that beautiful view... in the back ground! Thank you for sharing this place with us. I can't wait to see what is next!!!
Oh I love hearing you talk and watching you explore. Thank you for taking my tension away.
Thank you Tom. Definitely have missed your videos. Love your sense of humor- you make me laugh. A video searching the deep pools with a viewing bucket would be really interesting. Stay safe. Ladybugs are considered good luck.
Wonderful hunt. I really enjoyed your ramble. The uranium glass art deco flask is the coolest find. Thanks for sharing!
Wow. Fabulous view from your window! 😌. 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
It's always nice to go on adventures with you. Thank you for taking us along
An invasive species of poison bottles.....:-)- too funny. Thanks again for a lovely walk!
Thanks Desert Rose, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
I have been ill for a bit and am now well enough to get on UA-cam and I immediately hunted you up and have been binge watching your latest video's! I needed the calming sound of your voice and the peaceful walk in the woods! I love the little bottles, so sweet. Until next time, stay safe and hold those you cherish close! ~Jen
The uranium glass deco bottle is one of the coolest finds I've seen. Broken or no. 😍
I think so too. I'm hoping I can make a replacement for what's lost with resin, and hopefully I can find a dye that will match the colour. I've got a cap for it, I found it at that dumpsite the time I visited before, and it fits perfectly... so perfectly it might even be from that bottle! 🙂
I was thinking that with some skill you could cut out the decorative sides and make two amazing sun catchers. Do you know SiFinds? Fellow mudlark out of London. He is quite skilled at cutting broken bottles with his tile saw.
Thanks Tom for great video. It never ceases to amaze me just how many glass bottles can be collected. I prefer glass for packaging, it's better than plastic. Be good to have a new glass smelter business again.
Great video Tom, nice lot of poison bottles, and a second site that has great potential, we so miss our trips to Yorkshire... I think your right on the rusty gas hob ring, it looks like ones I've seen used by builders to melt pitch. As for the mystery piece with rose decoration, my first thought was the top of a greenhouse paraffin heater, but not at all certain. Thanks again and have a lovely Christmas. 🙂😎🐼
Sorry I’m a day late but really looking forward to this video now!
What a wonderful video. Thank you Tom! The river was calming and the views were wonderful. I think that you'll find a lot of wonderful items in your new bottle dump. I love that Art Deco bottle. Can't wait to see what you end up making with it. Please stay safe and Happy Mudlarking!
I guess poison bottles are the new paste jars. Enjoyed the video. Love the small blue bottles. Thanks for sharing.
Brass thing with the roses either end is the chimney for a greenhouse heater. . . carry on . . .
Thanks very much for the identification. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh a pleasure. Thank you for yet another entertaining adventure.
I thought it was a more modern bed warmer. 😅
Awesome video Tom - Relaxed my Sunday Evening. Woah so many bottles , I would be there all day lol. Stay safe. See you next time :)
Thanks Adam. I'm certainly going to be heading back there; don't think I explored even half of the site. 🙂
While I started watching your videos for the finds, I mainly love the respect you have for the environment. You’ve taught me so much about the impact of dump sites and even invasive plant species! I also love how varied your interests are. There’s certainly something for everyone on your channel. Your videos are so relaxing, especially after a stressful day. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into your channel. I haven’t been able to leave the house since the start of the first lockdown, so your videos really help to fill in the gap left from larking. Best wishes, Ellie.
Your videos remind me of when my daughter and I used to hunt for treasures in our little bit of the river Dee. We had a wonderful summer doing it in 2016 . Unfortunately it was our last year as she passed away Sept 2017 aged 9. It was something we both loved to do and I've got many jars and boxes full of our finds.
Thank you xx
I'm so sorry you lost your daughter so young. But glad you have great memories to hold on to, and I hope being reminded by my videos isn't too sad for you.
@@tom_burleigh not at all.
Its making me want to start going out again x
I've got a very similar bottle to the Art Deco one you found, mine is light milky blue. It still has its label on and filled with Yardley talcum powder. It dates from the 1930s.
OK, watching now. Excited for a new Tom Burleigh video!
It's not one of my best, I've been running low on them over lock-down... but, hopefully it's OK. 🙂
I envy you all the beautiful ferns.
That was a lovely trip out, and thanks for taking us. Look forward to the day when videos can put out smells too. We go to a little dump that smells beautiful, slightly rotten apples even though no apples nearby....
Keep staying safe and enjoying the beautiful countryside.
Thank you for your great video so enjoyable, I love seeing all the beautiful rivers and scenery. ❤️🇦🇺 xxx
I enjoyed this video, thanks for taking us along with you......continued wellness
I couldn't wait to watch/listen to this video, I saved it until I went to bed. You never disappoint Tom! Thank you and please continue these as long as its safe for you to do so. Blessings!
Hi Tom. There's a tree, a pool of water, a few rocks and look out Tom there is a pokey shrub for eye removal! Glass bottles seemed to be in abundance that day. Blessings
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Wonderful finds! Such a beautiful area there. When you were talking about a metal craft object, a image came to mind of old copper and brass shaped into flowers on copper pipe stems and made into a sculpture and perhaps also a water fountain , water running down over the metal flowers or bowls .It's just a thought.
HAHA take that poison bottle! Its yours! I love it, another great vid.
Thank you Tom🇨🇦☮️
The uranium glass bottle would also look good with some sort of polymer clay mutant climbing out of the broken part.
Some of the verdigris metal sheets would look amazing on the cover of a journal. Perhaps a journal of your mudlarking and bottle dump activities.
Thank You for taking Me on an enjoyable and educational walk- Your videos are a nice part of my evening . Looking forward to the next. Seasons greetings and good tidings to You and Yours.
Beautiful Scenery Thank You
I am attracted to your calm and love the bits... blue glass ! Marvelous 💛💫
Oh I fo love a bottle dump . Great video as always
Hello Tom,
Great video, some lovely bottle finds.
That rusted ring is a gas ring. You used to attatch it to a rubber hose and run it off one of those big Calor gas bottles. You used to see road workers using them sometimes for a brew.
The object with the five holes in it, reminds me of the chimney off a greenhouse paraffin heater.
The sprinkle of snow on the hillside really sets it off, it's a perfect picture from your window.
Thank you for the mention, I am pleased you got them and you are most welcome.
One last thing, Merry Christmas...🎅👍👍
Hi Eddie, and thanks for the identifications. I'm pretty sure you're right on the greenhouse paraffin heater chimney, you're the second one to suggest it. I'm glad for confirmation on the gas ring too, I'll still hit it with a hammer sometime to separate the brass out of it. 🙂
Thanks again for the rotary burrs, and a very Merry Christmas to you too. 🎅
It was so good to see you back mudlarking. The wonderful cool water and soothing voice brought me such pleasure and happiness. Thank you for sharing with us.
Love your videos Tom. Your voice is so soothing. Helps me de-stress. Stay safe, be careful.
Thanks Anna, I'm so glad my videos are valued as a stress reliever, makes me feel that what I do has a good value 🙂
Your walks are so calm and relaxing to watch.
😊 thank you
Fantastic area✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Good adventure✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Great video and so relaxing✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Thank you a real insight into the treasures of the North!
Your videos are addictive and I've been so looking forward to this latest one.
You never disappoint. I recognise your love for nature and that just endures me more to you.
Stay safe and thank you for our virtual outings with you.
Beautiful! Thank you.
A soul satisfying journey. I noticed the richer color of the bottles on your thumbnail, beautiful. Thanks for making that adventure possible.
Tom I have watched your videos over the past few months since subscribing to your channel.Your content is always quite interesting and though I live on the other side of the world to you, I find it quite educational. I do love the fact that you are happy to leave items for other larkers that you may already have , a very admirable trait. I hope this pandemic is over really soon , good luck to you ! cheers from Dave
Thank you for posting this. I really needed a walk in the wood and interesting finds to make my night/day a brighter. Thank you!
Love the beautiful stream and your description! So relaxing! Thanks for taking us on your journies!💞
Blimey, snow already up there. Missing Yorkshire. Lovely walk and filming, Tom, thanks x
Rose ended hot water bottle ! Love your work Tom !
It must be so exciting to be the first one to visit a bottle dump.
Lucky you! Can't wait to see what you'll find there when you return to it.
And I love to hear the story of the bridge one day, I love history.
Tom,
Your river(brook) walk brought back memories of the brook(North Branch of the Metedeconk River)
which delineated the eastern edge of our 27 acre farm.
It had a warm dark color created by it's Iron rich water , and in the late forties and fifties was home to fresh water clams
and other creatures which eventually disappeared due to pollution from large housing developments which
changed the rural farm nature of our township.
In my neighbors farm field , full of wild strawberries, I found a very large box turtle in 1960.
On it's underside was carved, Lt. Opey Y co 189?. I never researched the name, perhaps someone from the Spanish American war?
I almost brought it home but I didn't, It deserved to be left in peace. It was amazingly old then and I don't suppose it survived long enough to feel the encroachment of "civilization".
Your walks show the cycle of life, rural to industrial and back again, but wonder if you ever encounter wildlife along your paths.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Another wonderful video. Thank you Tom
Thank you for such a beautiful walk
Looks like home in the Pacific Northwest. I will dream about the globe vase you didn't take. I am fascinated with that shape. Your return to that site will be fascinating. Thank you for taking all if us along.
Hello i am from Brazil 😁💐 and love your vídeos and Voice another great aventure 😍💐 wonderful scenery thanks vou😸
16:18 Whoa Nelly-Belle!!! Glass disease is a real thing?!! Who knew? Well, other than Tom Burleigh, I mean. LOL
Thank you Tom for a lovely meander along the river, it's so lovely to change the scenery. Your narration really adds to the flow of the video. At one point your hushed tones
seemed to become quite like David Bellamy through the undergrowth. Ha ha. Shame you don't have a pack horse to carry your load. Love those wee bottles though, irresistible.
As usual a serene walk along a bubbling river with magnificent camera work capturing the beauty. Have you already gotten snow!???
Thanks for another lovely stroll Tom.
You and your girlfriend take good care of yourselves, stay safe and healthy.
Thanks Gloria. We got a first snow 2 days ago, I filmed the body of the video 6 weeks ago, and the round-up yesterday.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I hope you, and those you love are keeping safe and healthy too. 🙂
Wonderful view Tom and those sounds nature makes!!!
Once again you make a serene moment for me which I deeply appreciate. I am pleased your second site location appears to be promising. I am excited at the thought of future returns there. Also the possibility of Springtime foraging is very appealing.
Congrats on the sweet sweet bottles
I have just recently discovered your channel and I admire it. The combination of cleanup (something I do myself at the rhine river), mudlarking and handcrafting is very entertaining and I enjoy the way you narrate the video. It keeps me engaged and gives me feeling of participation in the situation. I also do find your dumbsites very rich. During my cleanups I find heaps of modern garbage and find it amazing if I discover a bottle stopper or even a plastic shampoo bottle from 1955. Gives me a little envy for your locations.
Thank you Tom! My life seems simpler when I watch your videos.
Hi Tom! I'd just sat down with a cuppa and there you were! Lovely and enjoyable as ever. I'm looking forward to your next visits to the last site. The jars there are vibrantly colored. All The Best! Tere
Thanks Tere, I'm glad you enjoyed it. All the best to you too. Tom 🙂
Excellent professionally done. Love your cinematography. Wow! Thanks for your post today!
Thanks so much. I've still got a lot of room for improvement, but I'm glad you think it's good so far. 🙂
Sitting quarantined and recovering from surgery in Tampa, Florida, I'm enjoying "getting out" on mudlarking adventures along with you and a few others.
You mentioned Amanda Bell, does she also have a UA-cam channel? I live that all the mudlarkers I follow put their own personality and enthusiasm into their searches....I can always enjoy more people to follow.
Thanks for the enchanting views and sharing your knowledge. Stay safe! The pandemic won't last forever.
Cool Tom. Thanks so much for the beautiful trip and your cool finds shared on this video.
I’ve been watching 3 other channels from Yorkshire for a couple years now. An equestrian in North Yorkshire, an archeologist who finds ancient fossils on the coast and a hiker. All 4 of you share gorgeous countryside that I knew nothing about just a few years ago. You’re fortunate to live in that part of the world and we’re fortunate that you share it with us.
Thanks Linda, 🙂
I'm looking forward to being able to go further and further afield again, hopefully next year... there's so much beauty within a short drive of here and I'm glad to be able to share it. 🙂 Maybe a trip to the North Yorkshire Coast next year too... film some Fossil hunting, and I'd love to do some longer hikes. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh lots of great possibilities 🤍
I am looking forward to your return to the second, generous dump site.
I would love to see your bird bath when you get time creating it! Love creating things too
Another great day out Tom, Thanks
Thanks Andy, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
