    Video look familiar? If so, it's because you've seen Nicola's version of this collaboration - this is mine - with my finds and how they cleaned up and history behind them. If you enjoyed this - see more of my Mudlarking videos here! bit.ly/337N6Yc

    My cousin and I were mudlarkers back when we were kids on a muddy bay in Delaware, USA. We found treasures and wore boots and beach clothes. We got hosed down then helped clean the fish, peel corn on the cob and the rest was up to the grown ups. We love your adventures, artistic creations and history lessons as our families were from GB. Thank you!

    This is such a lovely video.
    There's a lot of gatekeeping in hobbies, I know that from my interest in entomology, the fact that you're willing to educate these children is just so nice.

    The closest thing I've come to mudlarking over here in the U.S. was when my grandpa in New York let us metal detect his yard and dig it up. I found 2 bottle necks that had O.K. embossed on them, a metal bottle cap from an old Italia bottle, and many pieces of a 1955-1959 Clorox Bleach jug, including parts of the embossing and half of the bottle neck with the handle still intact. My mom was laughing at how excited I was to dig in a hole littered with broken glass. Can't wait to maybe do it next year when we go back out to visit him.

      The thrill is n the hunt! You never know what you might find. true you have to dig a lot of crap, but every now and again you'll find a gem! Wishing you much luck in the muck!

      Hi Blakeley, I don't know if you researched the OK bottle necks but HP sauce is a well known brand in the UK.
      Could be from the OK corral ? Oops, getting carried away now.

      @@michaeldicker4839 I tried to research the bottle necks multiple times now and have come up with nothing. The OK embossed on the bottle is pretty much cursive, but searching around that theme has lead me nowhere. I did happen to find a picture of some bottles that had it on the bottom, which claimed they were a specific brand of club soda bottle (which I don't doubt. I figured they were either soda or sparkling water bottles) but when I went to research the name brand I got, something totally different came up. So I've tried to research them, I just keep ending up in the same place I start. I don't think it was very popular since I couldn't find anything on them, but then again, what are the chances I find the necks of two of them right next to each other? One is green and one is clear, so I have absolutely no clue what they are. 🤷‍♀️

    I recognise this place! I normally wander up the other end towards the mill. Great video. Can't believe I've only just seen this!
    Scotland video was a fun watch too. Was up at ruby bay the other week. Beautiful place 💜

    I love the bottle you up- cycled for Nicola . That is something I do with bottles I've bought. Something about the antique glass though (and the ivy in the little lid was an awesome idea)that gives it a mystical look. You and Nicola really took the boys under your wing that was awesome.😊

    Simon, you're a good man and artisan! You take things of the past and make them beautiful. The lamp you did for Nic, Lovely! And out with the Mud Lovers in training, what fun! I used to explore old dumps and plowed fields looking for anything interesting. Back then I wasn't nearly as picky as today. But I never passed up an interesting piece of glass or inscription on a side panel of bottle to look up. Thanks Kindly Si Finds for the adventure and your creative efforts to preserve and make beautiful our heritage. Oh yes, and that crude piece the boys found, I thought it looked like a crucible for melting metal but a sugar mold is a good guess as well. I'm glad you all weren't swallowed up inna muck but the risk is more than worth it! Love and Peace and Joy of Spirit! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
