It's a good day when a new one of your videos pops up. Thank you for taking us along again! That tiny doll bottle was sweet.
"Spotted in the wild" -- the shadow of Tom Burleigh. Thank you for stockpiling this video. It was a pleasure, in deepest and wettest winter, to wade through the ocean of nettles with you and the Johnsons. How kind you are to mention Lucy's Larking and Nicola White, along with The Johnsons for mudlarking adventures. I do subscribe to all of you and vicariously mudlark beside all of you each time. A pleasure as always to enjoy your wit and your lovely voice guiding us through the water and beaches.
Thank you. My desire to get out in the rivers exploring and finding things has grown over winter, so maybe by next winter I'll have so many videos stockpiled I'll have to release them faster. Hopefully I'll get to meet and mudlark alongside ever more youtubers this year too. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 That would be wonderful for us armchair travellers, to have ever more numerous videos to choose from...nothing does preclude us from going back and watching old ones though. I understand that you are in demand as a fellow mudlarker....with Northern Mudlarks and Kit & Caboodlers as well. Well done You!
@@salishseaquest7952 Thanks, I love the sense of community that's being built between all of the UK mudlarking UA-camrs... there are so many meet ups planned this year, not just between me and others. I will be part of only a fraction of them... but I do have some good sites hereabouts that are tempting to others. 🙂
I consider you the David Attenborough of Mudlarking.
Thank you, he's a lovely presenter. 🙂
❤
I used to have one of those doll sized old fashioned feeding bottles. Came as part of a birthday present circa 1966-67.
Thanks so much Sarah, I was wondering when it might have been made... hadn't gotten around to researching it yet but this gives me a very good place to start. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Babies bottles in the 1960s did not look like that though, so I suspect they have been made some years earlier or at least using old moulds. That design of babies bottles went out of use several decades earlier.
Thank You for taking Us along!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Thanks for this peaceful video. Calms me in these troubling times. It inspired me to search for beach glass along Lake Michigan today and I found a couple of nice pieces.
Thanks Christy. Troubling times indeed, my next video might be the last in the current format for the duration, I can't do round-ups for the outings I've already shot since I'm locked down away from home (and my shed full of finds). I'll at least try to edit them together without though. 🙂
Another lovely video..I always feel as if I`m walking along with you..but with dry feet x
Thanks Sue, that's a nice description of what it feels like. I don't tend to watch my videos, but then... I like getting my feet wet. 🙂
You're so funny Tom. Love your dry humour and videos 👍🏻
Thank you, I'm glad you think so. 🙂
The river looks so different, so shallow and green ! The little baby feeding bottle is beautiful :)
I think the beach this was filmed at was about 30cm under water when we walked past it on the other side of the river. It's currently more like 1.3m under water. Roll on Spring, and Summer... when the water will be low enough to wander in again. 🙂
another refreshing swagger down the river, which gives both a glass-like surface and a serene balance to the speed of the rush of the river. Interesting finds, my favourite the tinniest of tiny complete objects and the whitest of white milk bottles. It is a soothing journey hearing the tour you takes us on with your voice and camera. thank you!
Another fabulous lark! I spotted teapot spouts at 11:03 & 19:07...one of my absolute favorite things, ah, but you must be full up with them. When you first started out you collected quite a few. The baby bottle is so precious, what a treasure!! I also saw Lucy's video when she found hers! The pipe is wonderful, as all pipes are. Please tell me why there are so many dentures in the rivers! I have seen both Simon and Nicola find so many of them! Love the Johnson's - "We're dry, Tom's wet!" - I had to laugh! Til next time, take care! ~Jen
I have the same ink well as that. Found a few weeks ago. :) Can't believe you left that art deco bottle though, so elaborate. It deserves a new home. :)
A great video Tom. Thanks so much. The child’s baby bottle is adorable. Marina 💦💧💦💦💦💧💦💧💦💧💦💧💦💧💦💧
Thanks so much Marina, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I agree... the child's baby bottle is adorable. I can't imagine how or why it ended up intact in a dump; I hope it's history is more happy than sad. 🙂
Great to see what you found on the other side of the river! I was so jealous you could get there. Ouch! I can still feel those nettles now lol Lovely finds. My favourite is the Art Deco style bottle :) Thanks for taking us along with you. It was a brilliant day!
It's usually a brilliant day mudlarking with you two, even with the nettles 🙂
If you soak the bottles in amonia, it should get all the dirt off. I have done this a few times. It works quit well. Soak them for a couple of days. Then wash them. Nice finds today. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure if I have any amonia, but if I can find some lurking in the back of a shed, I'll give it a try.
You have the most soothing voice.
Thank you 🙂
Thanks Tom for your interesting little outing. It's nice to see you teaming up with fellow Larkers..I loved the Nicola White one too 😊
Thanks Louisa, it's always good to go out larking with other youtubers... next video is at this site too, with another visiting youtubing channel🙂
The tiny baby feeding bottle is a wonderful find!
Thank you, I agree 🙂
I love to see really nice tiles, and yours was super! So many things to look over, I would want to pitch a tent and stay awhile...always sure the best find is just under the next shrub.
That beach is quite prone to being under water; currently about 1.3 meters... tents might be a bad idea. But, yeah, i'm tempted to spend more time there too... perhaps finding some of the treasures beneath the top layers of sand as well as those that lie on top. 🙂
I really enjoy your videos, Tom. Happy hunting.
Thanks Tobias, I really enjoy your videos too, and appreciate all the work you do on the Thames Foreshore Finds FB forum where I continue to learn a lot. Happy hunting.🙂
Enjoyed that Tom I did think where is this because we have had a lot of rain 👍
Yes, this place now lucks very different; 3 storms in quick succession have reshaped the landscape and changed the course of the river a bit. Remains to be seen if it's good or bad for us mudlarks. 🙂
I love Lucy’s Larking.
Me too, I hope she can make some more videos one day 🙂
Tom Burleigh why is she not making videos. Any ideas
@@sherryrector2275 Sorry, I haven't had any contact with her; the most I can suggest is terrible weather + high waters in the rivers near her, and/or health issues.
Evening Tom. The box was almost certainly used for transporting ferrets, whilst out rabbiting. I say, almost certainly, because a box of course can be used to carry anything really. Love the videos.
Ah, thanks for the ID. I don't think I've ever seen anyone taking ferrets out rabbiting; seen some being taken for walks on leashes, and carried in arms like a pet... but yes, you're probably right. 🙂
The tiny bottles are so cute...your girlfriends a lucky girl!! 🇺🇸🇬🇧😊
She does like the cute ones best🙂
So many nice things! I need to search for places in the US to do that. I think it's neat to find so many pieces of history!
Good luck in your future hunts, it's certainly a fun thing to find anything you're looking for, whether that be old lost pieces of history or natural things. 🙂
Ooh love the little dolls milk bottle.
Thanks, me too 🙂
Hi Tom I do enjoy your vlogs. I like watching the Johnson's too. I hope you survived the flooding in Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd recently. My brother lives in nearby Luddenden Foot and said that it was really bad. The news was full of it all until the floods happened down south and then they promptly lost interest in the North as is usually the case!
Thanks Jan. The floods didn't hit me personally, but did hurt quite a few friends... including some who were made temporarily homeless when the water knocked down a supporting wall in their cellar. Slowly it's all being pieced back together, some shops will stay closed and some new ones will fill the gaps; and as ever the community spirit has been wonderful to behold. 🙂
Hello.,I really enjoy your jaunts on the rivers .I am a viewer from a small town in Mississippi ,named Petal ,USA, thank you for your commentary.younvoice is very soothing .I would like to know ' Aren't you afraid of snakes in the high'.
grass?.
I am a mixed media artist, I am awed by all the found objects! Oh the things I could make!
I'm a mixed media artist too; or rather... a mess of desires to create all sorts of things out of allsorts of things. Hopefully some of my creations will involve videos of their creation before too long. 🙂
You find a lot of things ...very interesting.
We put all this to trash. How comes that you have all this outside.? Is that in countryside out...but no in London on thames its beside water too. Okay, other land...other behavior...but I hope to see it ones on a visit.
Hope you have more fun...😀🙏🖐
Try cleaning the inside of your bottles with some dry rice with enough water to just cover it & a wee squeeze of wading up liquid & shake
Thanks, I've tried that... it usually gives good results, though the ones from that side of the river resist even that.
This walk was delightful, thank you for sharing such a lovely place with us.
Enjoyed the larking. Thanks.
Thank you 😊
Hi Tom this video beautiful n u find amazing things in the water take care always love your video
Thanks as always Raima Mohommed, always enjoy your comments. 🙂
It's been a while since I've seen a video from you and then to have the Nicole White & this one quite a treat. I noticed some of your viewers were worried about you, but it's the slightly melancholy cadence I enjoy. Combined with the mystery of the Golem shadow and the very young hands, we are left to write our own story. Superb.
I've always fancied having a Golem, perhaps I can train my shadow 🙂 I think I'm going to be releasing videos on a fortnightly basis for a while, Sunday evenings (GMT) to be amongst the crowd of other youtubing mudlarkers releasing then. That'll happen at least till I get a bit overwelmed with what I'm trying to do... keep this one running regularly, and starting two new channels.
You are so lucky to live there. I would give anything to visit and go plundering with you and some of your friends!
Yes, I think for this hobby, I'm very lucky indeed to live where I do. It wasn't until I started filming it and actively searching that I found the best sites though... maybe there are some possible sites nearby you too!?
So good to be with you three on the River!
That was a good day 🙂
Thank you yet again Tom 😊
And thank you for comenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Thank you Tom for sharing your adventures ❤️ interesting finds .
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them 🙂
Thank you so much for your videos, I love watching when you go mud larking , especially when you tells what it is and what might you do with what you find. Tell me what do you do with the copper wire you seem to collect a lot of? Also can you tell us what got you started in mud larking and what was the best find you ever found ? Thank you Mr.Tom for your time making these videos...until the next video peace be with you , Patricia Nell
Thank you for the nice video I enjoyed it😊
Thank you, I'm glad you like it 🙂
I love to watch with the subtitles on. So woth the subtitles on the sound of the river flowing has been subtitled to (applause) 😂. I suppose if you think about it they do sound similar.
Btw love this channel, stoked I just found it.
Another very relaxing stroll by and in the river , love your finds especially the tile you found it’s beautiful tfs xx
Thank you, I do find some nice bits of tile there occasionally, maybe I'll find enough one day to do a splashguard in antique shards. 🙂
Tom joining the Welly Johnsons on a mudlarking detecting adventure
u should be on cam more tom in your wellies for all to see
Thanks, but I'd prefer to remain off camera as much as I can. 🙂
That beige-coloured cylinder thing,is a 1000 W.,resistance, a "pine-cone",for room heater,50 years old.
Thank you 🙂 It's great to have good identifications for things.
great finds Tom, enjoyed your video, also like your friends the Johnson's, take care
Thanks Rick, glad you like them too 🙂
A good way of cleaning glass , especially inside them is to get some denture cleaning tablets like Sterident or similar from the supermarket. Fill your bottle with warm water (below 50°c) pop in a tablet or two and leave for a few hours or overnight.
This trick is good for cleaning any awkward shaped glass container, one where you can’t reach the inside easily - like flower vases or coffee pots. I’ve also cleaned tea stains from old tea cups.
Anyway, the next day, give your bottle or ceramic objects a good rinse and once over on the inside with a bottle brush, stand back and admire your results.
Of course the real test is when the item (especially glass) dries.
Hopefully it will be clean-er at the very least.
I recommend dropping the tablets in to each bottle, but if you wanted to do a bunch of bottles at once, use a plastic or ceramic bucket/sink. Avoid using the dental tablets with metal as the product tends to act poorly with certain metals.
A very waffling tip but I hope this helps.
🙂🐿❤️🌈
great finds today
Thanks Jeannie, for all your kind comments and your generosity on Ko-Fi. I struggle to answer every comment these days, but I read them all and appreciate every one. 🙂
I love the dolls glass feeding bottle, I indeed had these to feed my folks when I were little .,love watching your adventures .
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them. I think this little bottle is one of my favourite finds, Toys so rarely survive intact, especially in the wild. I can't ever know how or why it ended up in the dump, but I hope it was part of enjoyment once. 🙂
Yes I'm quite sure some little girl had lots fun feeding her dollies.I love near the old captain Morgan's house, I have heard back in the day his visitors buried their valuables near the trees,before they went to his home, I tried as a youngster to find these treasures to no avail !!! .look forward to watching more of the lovely walks and finds with you.thankyou
Hey Tom, long time since last. Are you ok? You seem a little down. The doll bottle is fabulous. The doll teapot lid is a perfect example of a French cap. The glimpse of the Johnson's under their umbrella was so sweet. Then Phil became cheeky and kept it for himself 😂. Hopefully you upload a newer video soon. I find myself being selfish wanting to see more. No story today my brains on holiday. Blessings
Hi Jeriann, I'm releasing videos on a fortnightly schedule these days; Sunday Evenings which seems to be Mudlarking Video time for at least 8 channels I follow. I'm often a bit down, but usually only a bit. Life has been good, and bad, and stressful and sad of late... but always changing. I do love larking with the Johnsons, they've got a wonderful dynamic together and getting to catch a bit of that on film is good. Next video was shot last week... it was rainy. Blessings 🙂
Hiya tom nice relaxing stroll, hope you haven't been affected to much by the rainstorms, when it settles down it might have unearthed lots of lovely finds for you, as always thanks for the great work 👍🇮🇪
Thanks Sid. The floods hit a few of my friends hard; some were even made temporarily homeless when the water destroyed a load bearing wall in their cellar. But they're back in now, things are being put back together; and the community support has been excellent to see. I have been out mudlarking since the storms; this particular dump site got changed quite a bit by the floods; and this particular beach is bigger now, about another 200 square meters... the river must have moved away from it. The cliff face itself has lost some huge chunks; probably in excess of a 1000 cubic meters of material, and several rows of the trees that were supposed to stop that from happening are gone in the center portion.
I don't think it's made a long term difference to the mudlarking potential there, but I did have a good day there on Friday and found a lot. 🙂
Aaw how beautiful you found the sml baby bottle! I could only dream of finding these treasures!!!
Yes, I'm very lucky to live where I do, quite a few great little mudlarking locations are within a short driving distance. I hope you've got other things that make where you live special 🙂
Whites Lemonade bottle I think, with that pattern in the glass.
Ah, could well be. Thanks. 🙂 I usually find Shweppes bottles here, but have found a few Whites lemonade powder bottles before.
Nice assortment of finds, Tom. Always good to find a clay pipe bowl.
Thanks. I ususually find clay pipes there, this time it was a bit sparse... but the next video I filmed there, I found a few. 🙂
You constantly amaze me by all the cute tiny bottles you find! I also saw that video of Lucy's. Thanks for letting us know what it is. Great job today!
Thank you, that site really is very good for finding small bottles. If only I had more room to take them all home to. 🙂
Nice video Tom, just makes me wish summer was here seeing all those green trees and blue sky and long shadows😭
My next video will be a rainy day one shot recently; filming that made me wish for summer too 😕
@@tomburleigh9261 we've done the back end of it now, spring just over the horizon, shallower waters to help you find more treasures from the past👌
@@tomburleigh9261i will still look forward to it 👌
Great video ...absolutely loved watching this.... your videos are really interesting and have kept me busy watching whilst i recover from surgery ...cant wait to see more well done .
Thanks Donna, I'm sorry you've needed surgury and hope the recovery is going well. 🙂
For cleaning stubborn grime on the inside of glass wear, put in a teaspoon or so of rough salt. Add in a bit of rubbing alcohol and then give it a hard shake. The salt won’t dissolve in the alcohol and creates a gentle abrasive, While the rubbing alcohol disinfects.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try sometime. Don't currently have any rubbing alcohol, but I'll get some. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 I've also used a high proof grain alcohol as well. Although you seem unlikely to keep such bad ideas in your cabinet.
So peaceful hearing the rushing water☺
That's a big part of why I do this hobby🙂
Adorable little bottles. What a fun excursion with friends. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Thank you for taking us along on your mudlarking adventures! Your scenery along the river is very much like ours, with willow & nettles, and even the Japanese knotweed which is a problem here as well (Puget Sound area of Western Washington USA). Love the quiet & the sound of the rain on the river. I saw the baby bottle just a fraction of a second before you reached for it and was straining toward my computer screen WILLING you to pick it up, lol! I love toys and anything tiny!
Thanks for thinking of the river creatures.
I wouldn't want to hurt any creature 🙂
Nice going Tom such a lot of good fines,lots of weed walking and water walking.Very nice little bottle.Cheers 🇦🇺.......
Tom,
There's something so peaceful about the water flow , your like a fisherman enjoying the search as much as the catch.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Thanks Rik, I prefer this to fishing; more moving about, more exploring, and less having to either harm or kill the catch. But like fishermen, I do indeed get the peace of being in and by the water, seeing the fish and other wildlife, and searching for things. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Thanks for getting back to me.
It's many years since I fished, never hunted.
I've been on a plant based diet for 4 years(I'm 78) and figure I'm building a bit of Karma for my early years as a farmer:) and don't need any pills fro my heart, blood pressure or weight.
Cheers,
Rik
Nice Video. Thank you 😊👍🏼
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
The doll's baby bottle was a neat find. Lovely video!
Thank you, I agree... it was certainly a special, out of the ordinary find for me. 🙂
Thanks for taking us on another walk along the river bank, Your videos are always enjoyable.
Thank you, I'm glad you find them so.🙂
As usual another interesting hunt adventure with little trinkets of history on way. Cheers thanks for tag along many regards from Ireland.👍☘🇮🇪Godbless🙏
Cheers Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed it. God bless🙂
The bit that you said looks like a bit of the bottom of a light bulb actually looks like a fire sprinkler a concealed head that is the outer that holds the outer discussion plate up that tries to blended in with the ceiling
Interesting, thanks... I'll take another look at it. I identified it quite offhandely admittedly, based on finding similar but smaller pieces of metal still attached to bulbs... it is considerably bigger than those though. 🙂
Thanks for the latest great video Tom ☺
Love seeing your finds. I don't know how you limit yourself to a small number of items. I'd be picking up everything if it was me 😂 but then i wouldn't know what to do with it all.
Thanks so much for sharing 😊👍
Tom what are we seeing out your window it seem interesting.
The baby doll bottle, is that the one that's called the murder bottle? I had read or seen an article that those were notorious for poisoning children with either bacteria or choking? But still, a very neat bottle. I love Penguins. They are always dressed up and no place to go. I follow the Johnsons. And I found out that I am 4 years his senior! Wow. He looks so much younger!
Enjoy your music and your voice 'It's Easy Like A Sunday Mornin' . The comments with your finds are very clever.
Thank you. And now I'm listening to the Faith No More cover of it. 🙂
Nice to see another video of your adventures. I’ve recently started watching the Johnson’s. Cute couple.
Thanks Kathy, they certainly are a cute couple, and I'm glad to see their channel is gaining pace, growing fast 🙂
Truly glad to hear your voice Tom and be able to go on a lark with you today. Lovely finds..... have you ever tried denture cleaning tablets on your glass bottles to clean them I don’t know if your budget allows for such an expense but it might could do the job with a good brushing from a tooth brush. I have subscribed to your Instagram account and look forward to your videos they are such a treat the sounds of your music and voice and the water from the river or whatever water you’ve got yourself into all combine well to with your excellent camera work to soothe away the stresses of everyday life here in my corner of the world. Thank you for sharing your time with us I appreciate you.
It's such a pleasure parking with you Tom.
Thank you, I'm glad you think so. I'm pretty poor at parking, but I'm guessing that's an autocorrect and you meant larking. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Yes, missed that. 😀
Ваш голос - как гипноз, можно даже не смотреть, а слушать как аудио))) нравится и панорамная съемка и мелкие детали. Продолжайте плиз, я как будто сама там хожу и "смотрю" Вашими глазами, мерси.
Спасибо 🙂
Hallo Tom,
I like the "Johnsons " so much.
Thank you for the wonderful adventure.
Lg Jette
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I like the Johnsons very much too. 🙂
Sweet sounds of Tom, thank you so much, cheers☮️🇨🇦
Thank you Lovely Skull, I'm always glad to see your encouraging comments. 🙂
Hi Tom;
In Morocco we use to say; "chta wa chamss, 'urs namss" ( rain and sunshine, make weasel wedding). However, in your sky I didn't see any rainbow that should appear in this weather condition to celebrate the ceremony!!
Have a great day 🤗
Another enjoyable adventure. Any idea what the tall thin bottles shown at the end were used for? I found one on the weekend complete with cork. It was the only bottle to survive some local excavation work, along with an indestructable Shippams jar. Everything else was smashed to tiny bits sadly.
Afraid I've never quite got a definite answer on those bottles myself; suggestions include oils, pills, medicines. So common they probably were used for a range of things... but I could well be wrong. If you ever find out, I'd be interested to learn. 🙂
That was quite helpful thanks. A bit of Googling about suggests they might be a general purpose chemist's vial. Filled with essence of placebo root and similar. Not sure if these are genuine labels but probably the right kind of thing. www.thevintagewall.com/1115ARDI27
If you get a pair of polarised glasses/sunglasses , you'd be able to see through the glare on the water's surface?
Might be better than carrying a bucket about?
Not a bad idea, but most of the problem is sediment... it's come off of peat moors, so has a lot of brown particulates in. Polarised sun-glasses are certainly something I should get though, for all sites, thanks. 🙂
A lovely ramble along the river with you always brightens my day, even if it was last Fall. I love the Aardman Animations figure. Their characters and shows are always so fun. I watched the 2019 Shaun the Sheep movie this week called Farmageddon and it was a real hoot. I used to watch Wallace and Grommet and Shaun the Sheep with my grand-kids. Even tho they have moved away, I find myself still watching Aardman Animations stuff, as it always makes me laugh. The characters are so delightfully silly. I guess it's not just for kids, but also for the young at heart. Thanks for the wonderful adventure, it's always fun and interesting to see what you may find. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you. I haven't got around to watching Farmageddon yet, but I shall try to see it sometime soon 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful day too!
I find the sound of the river so calming. Too bad that piece of metal was too long, it had a nice design on it.
Lol, the pan didn’t sink too slowly, and that first tiny bottle is very cute. Makes me imagine a poor, young man buying a bit of floral water for his girl. A little Eau de Lavender?
Couldn’t those lovely colored glass bits be collected and maybe sold to someone who makes mosaics? There’s quite a bit of it.
Yes, I too saw the nettles, ouch. Was surprised at how much I enjoyed this mid summer looking larking video. Made it extra enjoyable with the summer rain! While it's been a "warm" winter in my area, it's still winter :) And I understand the invasiveness of Japanese Knotweed but have you seen it may be a good treatment for Lyme disease? The UK Times had an article and so did another one of your papers. While I wouldn't want to grow it I may consider harvesting it and figuring out the best way to preserve it if I find it locally. Thank you again for your enjoyable larking videos!
I heard you almost laugh..........😊
Almost; I was bent down and my chest didn't have the freedom of movement to laugh properly. 🙂
lovely video
Thank you 🙂
What was in the bottle that was tiny almost looks it could been a bird awesome finds
It's a dolls size representation of a style of baby feeding bottle that was common in the early 20th century. I've since found a full sized one, in reasonably good condition. 🙂
that's so interesting, I would not have thought of that and yes dollies need a bottle that fits them ,,, love your videos Tom@@tomburleigh9261
Do you worry much about snakes when reaching into dense vegetation there?
Might try muriatic acid to clean the bottles.
Tom - is it an absolute no-no to put those bottles through a dishwasher? I find loads of stuff and the dishwasher is a vital piece of kit in my experience. Anyway, hope the floods haven't wreaked too much havoc your way. It's been ridiculously rainy in Britain all winter. Soon be Spring x
Thanks Stephe G, I hadn't really thought of putting them through the dishwasher, but; I've got so many of the things now that I wouldn't miss a few if they broke in the attempt. The floods have caused problems; a friend's shop/house was in danger of collapse because the flood knocked out the cellar walls which were supporting it... and another friends art studio got drenched when a bit of the roof came off. Half the shops in town are still closed for cleaning or refurb, but overall it's not as bad as 2015, and the town will recover, but Spring will come before that.
Tom, what have you tried for cleaning your bottles???? Have you tried CLR yet?
No, haven't tried CLR yet. I've tried soaking them in water with bathroom cleaner; putting denture cleaning tablets in them; a little dry rice in a small amount of water shaken around inside; bottle brushes and rust converter. I might try an ultrasonic bath some time; they're pretty cheap now.
I have some blue and white dinner wear called"Burleighwear." Are they part of your family?
No, the name of the Burleigh pottery company comes from a conflation of the names of the two men who bought the company in 1862, Burgess & Leigh.
Hi Tom, great video!. I have located a bottle dump not far from where you live, unfortunately it is covered by a car park and lots of construction workers, I think you will know where I mean. I am going to talk to them tomorrow, I will let you know how it goes x
Ooh, sounds interesting... and I'm not sure if I do know where you mean... I don't know if any of the bottle dumps I know of currently have construction workers on, or which of the carparks with construction workers on are on top of bottle dumps. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 I went to the site and the workmen dug out some bottles for me, they are fantastic! Is there a way of contacting you that isn't public? x
@@amandabell8827 Sure, you can message me either on my Instagram page: instagram.com/tomburleigh_mudlarking/ or my FB author page: facebook.com/TomBurleighWriter/ I'm pretty bad at responding quickly though... too many projects, not enough energy.
Thank you. Some beautiful shots here Tom. I think about how you are all doing up there in Yorkshire and Lancashire during these storms. Roll on spring and drier times. I adore the tiny bottles. Clearly not high on your score sheet but their tininess is amazing to me - what precious substance would they contain? Perfume or oil I suppose.
I do enjoy finding the smallest bottles; though of course, anything I have never found before will excite me more. I think most of the smallest bottles contained sample portions of perfume... the first one I found in this video is the same size and shape as the Cobalt Blue Glass ones I've found before which were Midnight In Paris perfume bottles. The floods have been pretty bad; they hit my home town hard again... Spring and drier times will be very welcome when they arrive.
Lovely modest adventure. When are you doing the boastful one?
That might be the traverse of the Pan American Highway that I've dreampt of since I was about 14. Or perhaps, the drive from the Jurassic Coast (South coast of England) to Inverness, (top corner of Scotland), stopping all along the way to film Mudlarking, beach-combing, metal detecting and fossil hunting videos... which is a more recent dream.🙂
@@tomburleigh9261Ok, I will come along on the the one starting at the Jurassic coast. Sounds great..
So sad to see so much trash in the river. The government should really clean it up
Yes, unfortunately they won't. And till flood season's all done there's not much point in local people attempting much of it either... the floods take everything that isn't shut indoors or nailed down and dump it in the rivers... lots of garbage bins, and all their contents. 😔On the plus side, there are some plastic catching barriers downriver, and a lot gets removed there.
Oh, ok. Well, the plastic catchers are a start
Lovely, I enjoy every video. best wishes from Sopot.
Thank you, Sopot looks like a beautiful place... I looked it up because I didn't recognise the name. Only been to Kraków and Warsaw in Poland so far.
@@tomburleigh9261 Kraków is very nice and was not destroyed during the IIWW. Nice to hear you've visited Poland. Come again, Gdańsk and Sopot worth seeing. Sorry for my english,
@@magorzatamichalik7078 Thank you, and your English is far, far better than my Polish 🙂
4:08 It looks like a miniature Game of Thrones set.
lol, yes, more than just a passing resemblance 🙂
Hi Tom,
Enjoyed your video. Is there a lot of Japanese Knotweed on that stretch of river ?
Thanks Eddiek. I haven't really explored much of that river to be honest, only about a mile of it on one side, half a mile on the other... and that's the only patch I've found so far. So perhaps it was brought to the area as a seed in the clothes of someone who wanders the riverbanks like me, but who doesn't know how easy it is to spread knotweed. I'd need to explore a lot more before being confident of that, but it'd be good if it was only a tiny patch, I'd stand a much better chance of persuading the right people to deal with it.
@@tomburleigh9261 let's hope you can do Tom. I have seen the devastation this plant can cause, once it gets firmly rooted. It also spreads like wildfire..
