The cog is made of cotton like denim or canvas it is layered with Phenolic resin similar to Fiberglass but it's fire resistant and it's resistant to wear . Some year's ago I built a light aircraft and the firewall / bulkhead was made out of the same material .
That's what I needed Gail and Alex; a good bit of history, some really cute finds, a pun from Gail and some Girl Power! We don't need no stinkin' woodcutter to happen along!
I am so amazed you both have added something new to your many talents! Gail the writer and Alex the storyteller! You both are two of the best treasures I’ve dug up in along time! Please keep sharing your videos! I vote for the little bird feeder! I love my feathered friends of all kinds!
The cog is made from a material known as Tufnol, and is still used today. It's a resin impregnated cloth, and can be used for many thing. It machines well, and in the case of this gear wheel, it would run very quietly. Straight cut gears such as these, when made of metal, clatter like fury. A very natty find indeed
My favorites are the tiny stoneware penny ink, the giant cog, and the closed fist pacifier piece. The fist looked like a steampunk arm when it came out of the ground. I think Alex should cast it and make silver necklaces from it. I vote for the fist or the cog to be in the window as they are both very unique. Thanks for taking us along on your lark. :-)
Think the two teeth you found belonged to the Big Bad Wolf. Little Red Riding Hood survived so she might deserve a place in the window. Really enjoy your videos and stories each week.
The cog as Andy stated was made of resin impregnated cloth and pressed at high pressure and temperature. The factory I worked at made a lot of these in large blocks and sent them out to be finished into the cogs and other items. Everything from 1/8 inch to 6 inch thick as well as tubes and rods of all sizes.
I think the The fisted hand, made of bone should take its spot in the window. Great finds, the stoneware, The ink well and the mini Victorian lady, who was Little Red Riding Hood. Gail, your version of it was much better than the one I grew up with, where the wolf ate them both and slept under the tree to digest his meal. Thanks for a wonderful time.
Your table round up is one of the greatest mudlarker round ups. It is so well laid out and designed. It is really impressive. I miss you going through the items in the end because it gives Alex the experience of learning and passing on history so we have it for the younger generations. Alex does an excellent job of investigating the history and she opens the door to teaching more younger ones to join in passing on history as it is found. Bubbly ink bottles are my dream finds lol cause we don't have any place to mudlark here in Missouri lol and there are no little bubbly ink bottles. One day I will own ONE! cause I don't like to dust hahaha
I’m from Missouri as well and have always wanted to look for treasure along the river banks but never had the chance so am living it vicariously through Gail and Alex.☺️👍
Well done on the story writing Gail and Alex you did an amazing job reading it. I think the little ceramic bird feeder is my favorite of you finds and it should go on the window ledge.
Really impressed with how well your video editing and video story telling has progressed in the past year. Your beautiful, interesting little treasures and the stories they contain makes for very relaxing and entertaining viewing.
What an interesting lark, I love how the river bank throws up such an eclectic historical treasure trove. The last deep blue 'ink' was beautiful. Gail, your rendition of Little Red Riding Hood made me smile, it is so not nice to eat your neighbours, ha ha. Your video is a happy start to the day. Take care and stay well 😁👍
I look forward to seeing my girls as I call you both, each week, I hope you both are well, I look forward to another fascinating year with you both. Never stop what you are doing I would be lost with out you interesting show each week.
Brilliant as usual ladies! But, even better than most because of Gail’s lovely poem and Alex’s impeccable reading! Please put the bottom of the blown glass bowl in the window and position it so the suns rays shine through it. I think it would cast a gorgeous glow . . .see you Sunday!!
Lovely finds as usual. I vote for the red riding hood to go in the window as it lead to a wonderful rendition of Red Hiding Hood as written by Gail and recited by Alex.
I think the tiny child with a flask should go into the window as a show of kindness and sharing his finds... I truly love your joy and sheer excitement you exhibit Alex... Thank you for another wonderful adventure ladies.. Much love from LizBeth TN., USA
You guys are so much fun to watch and incredibly talented. I am a fellow jewler and beachcomber who lives on a little island on the west coast of Canada. Here's to world peace and hopefully virus free too, all the best, Bronwen McLeod
This was the most wonderful 👍 video yo two put together. That girl the mud locker I like it best. Thanks for sharing your video with us all ❤️💕.😅🎉 Your friend Shirley from new Bern, north Carolina USA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great finds this week ladies. Baby’s pacifier handle for the window sill of wonders for us please. We really enjoyed your version of Little Red Riding Hood and wholeheartedly agree with your message at the end 🇺🇦
Loved the Red Riding hood story, Gail. I think the Red Riding Hood should go in the window for this week. Thank you for all the hard work you gals put into making g our day🤩🤩🤩
Hi lovely ladies, love your red riding hood story/poem, another string to your bows. Some really great finds and wonderful coloured glass. Much love ❤️ Sue Gosling
My choice of the item to be place in the window is.... the beautiful blue glass finial/stopper thingy. It sparkles so beautifully. I loved the version of Little Red Riding hood by your mom! Adorable. I enjoyed the adventure. 🤗❣️🌸👍
The rock I'm thinking a type of Agate there are many .... That's a great find!!! Even better when wet. I'm sure you know people slice them. The insides of them have many surprises.....
What an interesting hunt indeed, Ladies. Enjoyed your finds, per usual. Your rock really has me stumped. Seems to be several images, leaving one to speculate that someone was working with clay and were dismayed at the results, so they smushed it all together and eventually it became hardened, as a fossilized rock. Having said that, at 13:13 where you are showing the rock in the sunshine there looks to be the outline of a mama elephant and her baby, that are covered in a blanket (perhaps toys?) At 13:10 it looks like there are two or three seams with possible gold in them. It would be interesting to cut it exactly in half and see what's inside. Might be a little patch of gold? ( : The gift the other mudlarker found and gave you would do nicely in your window, always a reminder of how truly kind people can be.
I definitely think the bone arm should take the spot in the window. The gilded salt shaker would look lovely if you ground off the broken top and used it on the table to hold tooth picks. Just a thought. 🤔🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What lovely finds and stories ladies The little clear glass circle cab, is very modern and here in American is a dollar store find. There maybe as many as 50 bundled in a netting bag. People like to use them at cemeteries for decoration or at weddings. They can be of color as well like blue which is a favorite,
Can you read a fairytale every time you put up a video? I love when you narrate and tell a tale. Hearing about the people that made things you find in your adventures. I love you two. Thank you so much for looking up the history on these objects too.
I can totally see Alex making a mold of the hand piece and making a pendant from it. New slogan: I'm taking it anyway. Put Little Red Riding Hood in the window.
ladies' I just can't get enough of your videos. I could watch you all night.I've gone back and watched your old videos .But alas I've run out. Your story was awesome.The finds were great,all of them.My favorite is the bone arm but the little stoneware pots are beautiful. I love the way mother and daughter work together.I watch many mudlarkers and bottle diggers but you are truely my favorites.GOD bless from PA. USA.
The cotton reinforced Bakelite (phenolic resin) was the first fiber reinforced plastic. It had wide uses, but gears and cogs were commonly made of it. The material is resistant to wear and runs quiet. The rock is some type of depositional formation, judging by the shapes of the deposition lines most likely formed by a cavity slowly filling in from the walls toward the remaining hollow. (Notice the similarity of the shapes to an agate geode.) Might be a limestone deposit. (Think stalagmite, but forming out of a standing solution.
You two ladies are a joy. I love your treasures all muddy and broken. Your squeals of delight says more than any words spoken. I vote for one of the small crocks to sit on the window of wonder.
Great story Gail and a lovely reading from Alex! Such eclectic finds. So rich in History and all have a story to tell. The pacifier hand should go in the window. Great finds ladies. 🦋
My grandmothers family moved to the Indiana Pennsylvania area from Wemyss !! There were tons of mines in the area in the early 1900’s! I like to think someone sent the glass home to Scotland as a present 💝
Great story and telling at the end but my vote for the window is the bone fist baby dummy because of Alex's great excitement and enthusiasm at findiing it and Gail's many hours of research to find out what it was. The carving on it is so detailed so it must surely have been a soother for a baby from a wealthy background. I loved the gorgeous colour of that pen-rest ink too. That would be a dream find for me and is on my bucketlist. Thanks for another great video, ladies. Take care, Jeanette
You videos are just really, really good. I should like to nominate the bit of green glass (or, green bit of glass?), for the window. You seem to effortlessly traverse many genres. Thank you for uploading.
I like the Little Red Riding Hood figure for the window. I also like the picture hanger. So wonderful to have you to look forward to each week. Love going with you to peer into the past.
The cog material is called phenolic with industrial and automotive applications, made from resin and organic material. Sort of a early forerunner of plastic.
Love the weird green and blue glass pieces, but the tiny tiny stoneware ink is awesome! You should definitely put Red in the window, maybe with a wolf figurine? I really liked Gail's version of the story in rhyme, it made me smile.
The cog is made of cotton like denim or canvas it is layered with Phenolic resin similar to Fiberglass but it's fire resistant and it's resistant to wear . Some year's ago I built a light aircraft and the firewall / bulkhead was made out of the same material .
Seriously?? I thought surely, NOBODY is going to know this and along comes an aeronautical engineer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My husband is also an Aeronautical Engineer, he says it’s what they call phenolic!!
Is it similar to Micarta?
@@Bebbis77 Yes I couldn't remember the name of it .
Hopefully not brown asbestos also used in train brake linings earlier on due to being fire resistant.
The Ukrainian heart was an amazing touch at the end of the little red riding hood rhyme!!!
Gails Little Riding Hood should be published in its own childrens book! U all just keep coming up with more talents!
That's what I needed Gail and Alex; a good bit of history, some really cute finds, a pun from Gail and some Girl Power! We don't need no stinkin' woodcutter to happen along!
Exactly! xx
The new version of Red Riding Hood was delightful
Your version of the story was brilliant. Never a good idea to attack a neighbour. 💙💛 thank you!
What if the neighbour is a traitor?! ✌️
@@imeldafadlen9968 off with their heads! 🤣
Heartfelt thoughts!

I knew I've seen something like that before, great information. I had no idea what they were made from. Thank you.
@@wildlifeathome You're welcome 👍
Great finds! I think the fisted hand and the little boy blue deserves to be on the window sill. A great version of little Red Riding Hood. 😍 ❤
I do love your subtle message in the little red riding hood story… bravo ❤️ xxx

The little figurine in blue and white reminds me of Mrs Bucket in Keeping up appearances, very cute.
Boo Kay! 😉
@@mewzishun ROFL!
'Attacking neighbours is not nice', beautiful sentiment. That was a wonderful video, thank you so much.
Very timely message in light of world events these days. God bless Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Oh I loved your ending to little red riding hood. Far better than any I have heard so far.
Pretty chunky piece of jasper. With bits of agite woven through out. Great find!
I loved that unusual rock the most. It looked like a piece of some ancient carving that had been smoothed down by the sea. I love it 😍
Gail , that poem was brilliant. Totally enjoyed this video. Thank you. I liked the blue bottle stop .
Classy tasteful end to the red riding hood story. Well done ladies. Bravo. 🇺🇦
Ah! a little bit of light has just brightened up my Monday night. I really look forward to a new video from you. Thank you.
Be well, stay well - peace and goodwill to all in the world.
Great find from Indiana Pennsylvania! My home town . Thanks for the shout out! Love all your treasures!❤️
My grandfather grew up in Indiana PA :)
My dad was born there.
I absolutely love how excited you get over the smallest of things that you find. I feel as though I’m right there with you🥰

agree!
That was a fabulous version of Little Red Riding Hood. 😍
thanks ..a very nice vlog again...and a special story told at the end.thanks for that too.greetz from the Netherlands.PEACE.
Had to watch it all again. I am thrilled at the flood of likes. ...Go Northern Mudlarks !
Wonderful watching you find all these treasures, it must take ages researching them. I love the Red Riding Hood poem, a very poignant ending 💙💛
What an adorable Little Red Riding Hood!!
Really impressed with how well your video editing and video story telling has progressed in the past year. Your beautiful, interesting little treasures and the stories they contain makes for very relaxing and entertaining viewing.
Great remake of Red Riding Hood, Gail. Alex, you narrated it quite beautifully. My vote is for the big and little riding hood figurines.
Great finds loved the hand. The reference to Ukraine at the end was a lovely gesture. There but for the grace of god go I.
I love the story at the end!!!!
What a great place ladies thank you 😊 xxx

Love love love you two! Love to see what treasures you find. Now I want to be a mudlarker!!
Same here !
Cool finds. And little red riding hood never sounded better.
Nice video and story. Luv the fist.. but how about the nice hook above the window to hang another treasure (Or bead string📿) with ☺️
I look forward to seeing my girls as I call you both, each week, I hope you both are well, I look forward to another fascinating year with you both. Never stop what you are doing I would be lost with out you interesting show each week.
The Green Glass in the window. Awesome finds ladies
Brilliant as usual ladies! But, even better than most because of Gail’s lovely poem and Alex’s impeccable reading! Please put the bottom of the blown glass bowl in the window and position it so the suns rays shine through it. I think it would cast a gorgeous glow . . .see you Sunday!!
When u snapped the cup, sorry Gail, but I did laugh ☺️☺️
Lovely finds as usual. I vote for the red riding hood to go in the window as it lead to a wonderful rendition of Red Hiding Hood as written by Gail and recited by Alex.
What FUN! And I LOVE your Red Riding Hood poem, Gail! 🙂
Great finds and enjoyed Little Red Riding Hood. 💕

I love that you are avid researchers, I am too! I want to know everything and get very frustrated when I can't find any identification.
The shaking hand of joy, I never tire at the sight of excitement.
And that Gail is why we can't have nice things.😂👍

Maravilloso todo lo que encontraron 👏👏👏🥰
For the window I liked the speckled glass. It could be used for jewelry or Christmas ornament.

I’m so happy when you ladies find beautiful glass shards because I know it will have a new life as a lovely bead.💕💕💕💕i absolutely love this .Grace
Loved the Red Riding hood story, Gail. I think the Red Riding Hood should go in the window for this week. Thank you for all the hard work you gals put into making g our day🤩🤩🤩
Yes.. and I had to freeze frame that painting of Little Red Riding Hood to appreciate the art. (23:04) very Rembrandt to me. I wonder who did it.

Nice take on the story. Well done.
Alex, I think instead of a salt shaker it is a top for a decanter that measures out a shot of whiskey.
Girls and wolves. A timeless tale. The more things change the more they stay the same.
The best thing about Monday evenings 😍
If you took the rock slice it on a rock saw to reveal any patterns that might be in side about 1/2 inch thick you can use for making cabs for jewelry
loved the storytelling at the end

Rockreader. That’s how I felt about this rock, that it had been a project for someone and it got ruined. Now I need to go back and see the elephants
I definitely think the bone arm should take the spot in the window. The gilded salt shaker would look lovely if you ground off the broken top and used it on the table to hold tooth picks. Just a thought. 🤔🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The bone hand is a must for the window of treasures x
What lovely finds and stories ladies
The little clear glass circle cab, is very modern and here in American is a dollar store find.
There maybe as many as 50 bundled in a netting bag.
People like to use them at cemeteries for decoration or at weddings.
They can be of color as well like blue which is a favorite,
I had exactly the same reaction to Alex's cabochon. I've used them in aquariums and also in the bottom of glass vases. :)
Can you read a fairytale every time you put up a video? I love when you narrate and tell a tale. Hearing about the people that made things you find in your adventures. I love you two. Thank you so much for looking up the history on these objects too.

I am only guessing- but the interesting rock, reminds me of petrified wood. It IS fabulous whatever it is 🥰

What a heartfelt and creative demonstration of support in your retelling of red riding hood. Thank you,
Wow to little red riding hood who is very deserving of such a fantastic poem / fairie tale.
Loved this video. Thankyou Alex & Gail.💙💚
I like the little man drinking from a gold flask. Thanks girls xxx
