As a former antique mall owner, I was always fascinated by antique compacts, lipsticks, vestas, poison rings, chatelaines, multifunctional wristlets , women’s cigar cutters, funky jewelry, etc… and collected quite a cache . I thought I was the only one who appreciated the creativity of these rather hard to find oddities. Thank you for this very well done content .
Aww thanks ever so much for this lovely comment Kari Anne :) The joy is certainly in the hunt and sometimes all you need is just a walk along the beach! x
Nice bulbs!😂 I appreciate the debunking of the Lacrimosium,the tear collecting bottles. That’s important to do,as antiquated theories abound regarding old mysterious looking objects. Also,I just recieved a parcel from you,and the items inside are a delight!! I shall withhold,for a few days,my Etsy review,because the framed artwork made from found plastic will go beautifully in my mother’s guest bedroom,and I want to feature a photo of them,once I hang them up!
Haha those bulbs!! We had so much fun ;) So glad you enjoyed the myth of the tear catchers Charles! Fabulous to hear the parcel has arrived and you love the treasures from Scotland! Thanks so much again and for leaving reviews , that's so kind of you :)
Making the cut out pendants takes such a long time so I have decided to focus on either animal shapes or childrens mug for these specific necklace :) The purple piece was amazing!! Maybe we'll take it next time we go ! x
Hello Nicole, Hello Craig; I believe my title for todays lark will be "Bottle Digging With Nicole" and "Storytelling With Craig". I do LOVE watching your videos and getting a bit of information regarding those finds. Today was an exceptionally nice day. Thank you both for bringing me along. Greetings from North Carolina U.S.A.
Aww thanks so much Peggy! Craig loves digging his teeth into research and well I love digging for treasures :) We make a great team ! So glad you enjoyed today's video! x
Such great finds! My first ever glass stopper was a Gartons and I bought a Gartons bottle from eBay for it to sit in. I have been along at the muddy end of my local town beach and had some great finds in the mud, a glass stopper still in its bottleneck, a clay marble, 2 glass beads, a little Victorian dolls head, a wafer thin George V penny, I think it’s 1928 and a terra cotta marble. Came home with wet feet and muddy jeans but it was fun, felt like a real mudlark😍 Hope to bump into you along here again, maybe once we get the big autumn tides!
@@kariannecrysler640 I think the beach has lost them to the treasures of the tip! Maybe once we get rough seas again there will be enough treasure washing in to tempt them back 😀
Oh I love a Garton's stopper! Funnily enough I have not taken a single sauce bottle home !!! Aww Christine we were at the beach last week and we are planning to sprinkle some beach videos in, in the future :) Sounds like we should come to your neck of the woods soon!! The beads and marbles are certainly enticing !! x
Thanks ever so much Jude!! So glad you enjoyed the history behind the scent bottle and the clay pipes :) We had a great day for clay pipes!! Hugs to NZ from Scotland, Nicole & Craig xo
It was a very silly day, and a lot of fun! Oh! We could see ourselves being overtaken by bottles and such, so we tought picky must be the way forward! And, we agree, its always best to take what we can use rather than have it all pile up! :D Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Thank you so much! It was a fun day - that was such a lucky find! Its always great to find something with such an interesting story behind it! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Thank you so much! Great question! The glass stoppers have two features that give away how they were made - they tend to have a 'break' at the end of the stopper, and a visible seam running around them - so, they must have been poured into a mold (many bottles were also made this way) then any remaining glass was snapped or cut off. I htink that's fairly accurate but I'll see if I can dig up any more detail - we will at least say a few words with images in an upcoming video! :D Best wishes, Nicoel & Craig xo
'Hi, another interesting tiplark, I am surprised there wasn't any household items or doll parts to be found in your scraping. Love watching you both get excited by the finds and potential finds, like kids in a sweetie shop, ha ha. Have a great week and I look forward to being taken on another treasure hunt by you both. Wishing you well from Aus.
Great finds. Everyone likes the ' smalls'. The history of the objects is interesting. Very enjoyable video to watch, being slightly faster paced. Thanks for addressing my comment.🇨🇦
It looks like it is so dry there I need to pray for you some rain hopefully you'll find some wonderful treasures sometimes we do have to leave them unfortunately but there's always something better around the corner keep on ⚒️⚒️ and keep up the good works ♥️👍👍👍👍🗝️
Thanks so much Mary Kay! It's been a very dry year so far, but we had quite a lot of rain in the last couple of weeks ... waiting for the nettles to vanish !! x
That was a fun video, I love a bit of silliness and it made me smile to hear you both giggling. I also remember how dangerous spam and corn beef tins were, I still have the scars! The bulbs were hilarious! 😂💗 x
So glad you enjoyed it - we had a hoot that day! Oh! those tins are so bad! Lethal! Haha!! That was the funniest thing... One was funny, but two was hilarious! The spirit of Balrick's turnip must have been with us that day! lol Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
It may have been a metaphor for some people to Psalm 56:8: “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?” It’s a beautiful bottle no matter what it was for. Good find with a mystery 😊
Awesome! I read a few, well, more than a few, pieces that mention that Psalm as a very likely source for the idea, and it seems pretty likely it has influenced the idea for very many. Yes, it is such a lovely thing and, historically justified or not, it is a great story that will always be a part of the history of these things. Thank you so much, best wishes Nicole & Craig xo
Hello 👋 from New York USA you Guy's found Some Amazing Finds my Favorite Definitely Was the Little Decorative Perfume Bottle and the Bottle Stoppers Thank you for Bringing me Along with you Guy's I can't wait to see What you Find Next 😊
Eagle eyes - we're always missing things like that! LOL You would be surprised - maybe not - at how much we do miss while filming... I've just finished editing a video that will be out in a few weeks - in it, I kick the ground on the edge of a tip - out pops a lovely Eiffel Tower Lemonade bottle, clear as day! Its a nice old one, made with a crude mold and with pre-washed, sea foam glass... Despite that happening right in front of me, it took us another hour before we spotted it on the day because I was looking at another, much less interesting, bottle! Now we have to go back to find that marble! lol If only! Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
@@scottishmudlarking I understand missing items while you're hunting I'm on an area that has a lot of surface finds and I miss some the last time I was there but I had quite the load yesterday I wish I could find the items as old as you find maybe one day ♥️👍👍👍🗝️
I enjoyed that. Completely understandable that you were being picky. That reminded me of a pet peeve I had a few decades ago. People used to throw the word 'discriminate' around like it was pejorative. I frequently reminded them that, in centuries past, to discriminate meant you had good taste, or you were 'picky'. So there. 😜🤣 Looking forward to your crafting video, Nicole. I'm also trying to guess what you're making with the pieces of poison bottles. 🤔 See you next time. 🥰👍
Thanks ever so much Noralee! Wow that's interesting - we do discriminate when we collect, be it at the beach or in the bottle dumps ! Of course sometimes you get a bit carried away but we always leave things behind that we know we won't use but others might ... Hmm that's you and me both, wondering what I'll be making with the poison bottle pieces - I have a rough idea in my head , so we'll keep collecting them until I am ready to put that idea into a craft ;) See you soon! x
It would look lovely on a tree with little lights reflecting off it - its a bit too heavy for an average tree, but a nice big town centre tree would look splendid with decorations like that! :D Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Not sure which item you mean - the scent bottle had perfume in it! When I washed it there was a faint scent coming from it :) and there was like golden residue in it!! x
2.00 who planted them, bit of a coincidence - say lachmy''''''''''ria after a couple of stiff drinks! Unlucky with the clay pipes, fragile and hard to find complete in a rubbish dump! Monty Python, great memories ! During the lunch hour where I used to work there was an old rubbish tip(go digging for half hour), this WAS right next to the building ! It later became an industrial estate!
Hmmm! Good question... we've seen daffys in this area and a lot of garden waste is still dumped around the place... Great find though! We think the spirit of Baldrick's turnip was with us that day! lol Haha Its a great word, but I struggle with it after a coffee, but I'm up for the challange! :D We're going back - there must be a whole Baden in there!! lol But you're bang on - its amazing anything is in one piece! Its a shame, but it seems to be the way of these things... We've found a load of tips on old maps, looking at these places on modern maps we've reached the conclusion that at least half of the football fields, golf courses and industrial sites are built on dumps! I don't think the golfers would approve if we set about proving that! LOL But now I have Bill Murry's Caddyshack punchlines in my head! 'Excuse me sir, but if I kill all the golfers, they'll lock me up and throw away the key'! Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Another item that has been debunked is the 'frozen Charlotte' figurines. The figurines are certainly real, but the association with they Frozen Charlotte story began well into the 20th century in antique/curio circles.
Oh! Like the name - Jon Frum, I know it well... the Tanna, so called, Cargo Cult! Cool! Yes! Great knowledge!! You are absolutely right! We did a video a while back where we spoke about the 'truth' behind Frozen Charlottes - the origin of the story actually traces back to an Edinburgh doctor, who published in Blackwells - a fairly concervative periodical. Its a very judgemental story, the latter poem is much kinder to the central character. I've added a link - the story is at 28:20 or so. Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo ua-cam.com/video/GSYv9KbMhbY/v-deo.html
We do too... And, I think the lovely thing about stories is that they attach themselves to the history of things, so, in some ways, it will always be a tear catcher. :D Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
You're kidding me you left the square bottle. you're leaving the best pieces. the large pieces are the ones that sell for more, serious collectors don't want little perfumes and stuff.
Thanks so much Aldo! We just don't have the space in our home to take all the bottles and the larger bottles take up so much space so we tend to take the little ones :)
Has UA-cam now reduced you to having to make goofy faces on your thumbnail or they kick you to the curb? I wish you didn’t have to do that. It’s really beneath your dignity, don’t you think?
Oh! Its just a bit of fun... We draw the line at certain, very commonly found self-representations, especially anything that seems to present availability, but we do think a wee bit of a laugh, pantomime style silliness is OK now and again. Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Scottish Mudlarking I must say I am so happy and relieved that you changed your thumbnail picture to the lovely, sweet, dignified picture that I now see. I actually DIDN’T want to watch that video BECAUSE of how that picture made me feel. And I still haven’t yet. It actually alienated me. Too many UA-camrs are doing this and I can only conclude that someone in power is doing some arm twisting. Unfortunately in this world we now live in, this theory is not entirely without validity. I come here to enjoy the folks I have come to respect and appreciate. When I see people having to make faces and exaggerate every expression and overplay every comment like shock and surprise and amazement over NOTHING tells me something. Actually a lot. It says to me that people are afraid that unless they really throw on the window dressing and overdramatizing everything they say and do, people won’t be attracted to the video, much less finish watching it. That has been me in many, many cases when I see this happen. I just don’t find it interesting or entertaining. FYI, I’m pretty sure you’ve arrived at the conclusion that I am not a teenager completely immersed in the likes of the unspeakable TikTok generation. Good God! Unfortunately, I realize this whole business is driven by demographics. And at the end of the day, it comes down to the bloody dollar! I hate that about this world. You just can’t be a relaxed natural person just being themselves and sharing who they are. Now it’s just good enough, is it? Sorry if I sound embittered. It’s because I am as a result of this modern world we occupy. Oh, it has its benefits, but ohhh do I long for the days gone by when things were so different. I miss it so much.

Sometimes it isn’t what you keep it’s the joy in finding it. Lot’s of love and luck to the sweetest couple on UA-cam!💚🐢🍀💕

Thanks ever so much Jude!! So glad you enjoyed the history behind the scent bottle and the clay pipes :) We had a great day for clay pipes!! Hugs to NZ from Scotland, Nicole & Craig xo
Stoppers are exciting to find as well as pipes and pipe stems. Can’t wait to see what Nicole is making from the small bottle’s.
Thanks so much Denise! Always our favourite finds - stoppers, marbles and beads :)
Love the “silliness” 🤣
Pickiness is not a bad thing. Taking only what you can reuse. Thanks for the day out! It was fun! 💙
It was a very silly day, and a lot of fun! Oh! We could see ourselves being overtaken by bottles and such, so we tought picky must be the way forward! And, we agree, its always best to take what we can use rather than have it all pile up! :D Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Very interesting history behind the objects you find. I absolutely adore the jewelry made from sea glass.
Thanks ever so much Carol :) That is very kind of you to say !! x
What a fascinating mythe around the tears catcher As beautiful as interesting Thank you
Thanks so much Florence! So glad you enjoyed the tear catcher myth :) x
Love your videos, they are so interesting and fun. Loved the pretty little bottle you found.
Thanks so much Catherine! That's so kind of you to say :)
Always fun and educational! Thank you!❤
Thanks so much Tracy :) Very kind of you to say!

Some great finds Nicole and Craig I love the tear drop one and the story thank you xx
Thank you so much! It was a fun day - that was such a lucky find! Its always great to find something with such an interesting story behind it! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Nice video as always! We do have a question about one of your favorite types of finds - how were glass stoppers made?

The perfume bottle is unusual and I really liked the story about lachrymatory, I've never even heard of it so thank you! :-)

Such an interesting story. I can imagine the perfume was very special and expensive.
I would have thought the perfume bottle might have been a treasured item, maybe sitting on a dressign table next to a powder puff and a brush! x
Loving the new sounds Colin x
Thanks so much Alex! Very kind of you to say x

I just love your channel! I wish I had access to dumps and such here in Pennsylvania.
Thanks so much Janet! Surely there must be a couple of areas in your neck of the woods... we are very blessed to be able to go to these places !! x

Another great and enjoyable video. Thanks.🌞🇺🇸
Thanks ever so much Rosemarie :)
Those perfume bottles are beautiful!
They are such lovely finds :)
Love the pipes and the history
Thanks so much Dawn :) Pipes are very interesting!
There was a clay marble you put that pipe right on top of it pushed it down supposed you weren't collecting marbles that day 🙂

That's what they are ;)
You need to dig in this place to find anything or go to a place they haven't been
Yes I am sure there are lots of treasures below the ground, maybe even older ones.... we always contemplate taking a spade along to this place!
Picky is better than hoarding, but it's hard for a hoarder to watch!🙄
