    Gail & Alex- When you are mud larking, carry a small gold pan with you. If you find a piece of jewelry pan the dirt in the immediate area down 2-3" and you may find the stones from the piece.

      Excellent advice, F.K. Burnham. ( : By panning, they could also capture other heavies such as gold, silver, etc. Where there's one heavy, there's more.

    Still watching the video,I love that bone sewing thing,I can only imagine how wonderfully tactile it must be!
    I have a nice story for you,back in September,London,Greenwich,on the Thames foreshore,by Cutty Sark.
    I found a silly little bit of gift shop tat,a cast resin thing,it was a charming little English cottage.
    I didn’t want to keep it,so I made my way up the stairs,and startled two French girls,tourists,and they backed away from me,as I was a mudlarky mess!
    I don’t speak French,but I said to them”no,no! Cadeau!”
    My attempt at saying ‘a gift!’
    I set it down on the sidewalk,and went back downstairs.
    Back on the foreshore,I looked up,and the girls were holding the little cottage,and they smiled at me and waved,in appreciation!
    They understood.
    I waved back,and went about my way,and found lovely things that afternoon.

    There's all kinds of objects worthy of the window, but I would like to nominate the blue cut glass bead. 'Who would these fardels bear, when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin?'. May you remain fardel free, and everyone else for that matter.

    7:41 - a Bodkin, used to make eyelet holes in cloth without cutting threads- you carefully work it through the weave, spreading the threads, then do a buttonhole stitch to finish the eyelet. The result is stronger because the threads are intact.

    Thank you Gail and Alex…i love your videos, so sublime and restful and at the end the table of goodies, yay …for this one all your items are fantastic…anyone would look good in the window…btw it so cute to hear Alex in the background sometimes when you are filming faraway from each other…she has a sweet voice…reminds me of a British actress of the 60’s! 😊😊have a grand new year! 🌹

    Your home must be wall to wall relics..
    I had a friend who spent every free moment hunting U.S. civil war relics.
    His home was like a museum.
    I have a hunch your home is similar ...
    Happy hunting ladies.

    I am a fairly new subscriber (a few months) and just want to thank you Gail and Alex for letting me spend the Holidays with you. I have been/and still am binge watching both yours and Katie/Fleur - Kit & Caboodlers UA-cam videos. You have all been able to provide me with so much peace, tranquility and soothing of the soul. Just being able to "follow along" on your adventures, share the pure happiness as well as giddiness when you make your finds, be them rare or not. It has helped me so much.
    I do crafting too, however not so much with older finds since I've not been able to locate any "dumps" over here in Sweden. Would really love to though. I do make jewelry from semi precious stones, as well as make my own soaps from scratch, natural body products, do my own food preserving and everything that entails.
    I have been very low due to "stuff" that has happened over the past 2 years. And, not had the energy or will to create anything but, I'm finding that both of your channels have started to wake my creative spirit once again.
    Thank you and much love to you both.

    Thank for the trip to the foreshore it was a good day out. The wooden stick thingy is also known as a proddy for making the holes in hessian with strips of fabric for a fireside rug or boot mat. I think the tiniest bottle wins the spot this week, maybe Alex will make a mould of it and make a tiny silver or copper replica.

    What a great first treasure hunt for 2023! I think the teeny tiny bottle Gail found should have a place of honor in the window of wonders! The white lid would make a great mushroom top! Thanks for sharing y’all’s joy with us!

    • @rockreader4298
      @rockreader4298 Рік тому

      Though I loved Gail's tiny bottle, when I displayed a rather rare military style button made of black glass or obsidian, on my windowsill, the intensity of the sun through the window caused pieces to chip off (as with my enamelware while it was hanging above my kitchen stove). Though the climate and is different there, I never display any fragile items on the windowsill or near a hot stove since then.
