I'm hopeful that your anxiety will calm. Many blessings to you MJ.
Thanks caliatthebeach, I'm glad my opening theme music has that effect, it was what I had in mind while writing it; English rivers, and countryside, and wandering and wading. And also, I wanted it to evoke the spirit of The Detectorists tv series. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh You wrote the music? Really? Wowser! Living in Southern California I'm not familiar with The Detectorists series....I'll have to research it. Thanks again Tom for sharing your knowledge, time, adventures and vast array of hobbies. Your are truly a creative and very inspiring.
There were some moments in time where the reflections in the river were lovely. You could just get lost in the movement of the colors shinning on the water's surface. 🥰🐕🇺🇸
i paused here to say that in 40 years of searching the green and pleasant land i would be humbled to think of you as a friend i see sense in and you saw it instantly
We’ve had the gray winter gloom for weeks now so your walk with the sunshine and sound of the water is very soothing and uplifting. Takes one’s mind off the gloom outside. Thank you so much. Donna/Northern Michigan/USA
We've had rain for weeks here, so gloomy too... but, yesterday there was a brief dry spell and I got out mudlarking again. I'm glad I still have more videos from the summer to put out over the grey of January and February, and glad you're enjoying the sunshine in them. 🙂
How I love to walk with you along the rivers and towns. thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us in Canada and around the world. I look forward to your videos so very much. Thanks Tom
Hi Tom and thanks for this lovely river walk , I've not been well for a while and this has truly made me feel better and really relaxed hope you are well
Hi Paul, sorry you've been ill. I hope you keep on feeling better, and get well soon. I'm not too bad thanks, a few minor chest infections over the winter so far, but nothing that's kept me down for long.
Once again you have taken us on a great experience . Your walks are so addictive they just make me feel right at home walking along side. Thanks Mr. Burleigh , Love to walk with you . ☺🤩🧡💛💚
Great video Tom. Wonderful footage and beautifully narrated history as always. Shame about the breakage, you need some big pockets or a rucksack! 😉 And maybe a small pair of pocket wire clippers? 😉
Happy New Year Tom! Lovely river wander as usual and your soothing voice was very welcome this afternoon. Sorry you dropped that insulator (I'm always dropping things too, not sure why!) but I hope you find another one soon. All the very best for 2023
Happy New Year Petrichor. I didn't really mind about the insulator; I'd actually forgotten about it by the time I got home, and only remembered again when editing (as predicted). I hope 2023 is a good year for you too, all the very best. 🙂
Nice video. I like the reflections on the water. And was there a new melody? It's one I missed if it's not new. Happy New Year, in good health, filled with joy and discoveries!
Another lovely walk along the water is so very soothing, even if you don't find valuable relics, considering eye of the beholder and all that. Amazing to me is how the early industrializations stand silent of their own accord, being torn down by only roots and ivy. I often wonder how you keep track of all the projects you have in store; how you compartmentalize them without going mad (although I hear the best people are.) Seems lately details/projects I once called up at a moment's notice, are becoming overwhelming to just think about. There's a secret to it, I know...and you have conquered it.👍🏻
I was so pleased when I saw you had posted a video this evening Tom. Loved the river walk . Watching the water shimmer in the sunshine and the sound of the water flowing took me right back to childhood. I keep saying I’m going to try it and will hopefully this spring . Thank you x
Very pleasant choice of video ,Tom, to offset the cold and wet you guys are experiencing in England. While finds were few the walk in the stream was enjoyable as always.
Greetings from Florida, Tom! So enjoyed your beautiful country / stream side expedition! The reflections and the patterns of the current over the stream bed are mesmerizing, indeed! Thank you for sharing your considerable time and talents and thoughts with your on-line family is much appreciated ! Take care, stay well and Happy Trails! Wishing health, happiness, and love to you and your family in 2023!
It might take a bit of effort, but if you really wanted the mill trolly cart, you could tie a rope to it and drag it up to the top of the embankment. And perhaps a large wagon or wheelbarrow could help move it to the car. Would be neate to see you restore it, though.
Thanks Tom. I'm hopeful there won't be so many big gaps in my upload schedule this year, and if all goes to plan, I'll even get some craft videos done. I hope you have some great mudlarking finds, and wonderful times in 2023 🙂
Another interesting and calming video today. Always look forward to Sunday afternoon toward the time launch. Glad to see you again, and all the best to you in 2023. See you on the next, Tom. Cheers mate! 😊
Cheers Martin. Glad to be back uploading more or less regularly... and got out mud larking again for the 1st time in months yesterday. 2023 is shaping up well so far. All the best to you too, I hope it's a great year for you. 🙂
It’s always nice to find a new video from your walks. This was exceptionally beautiful with the rippling water and green canopies, not to mention the occasional bird sounds. It will be nice to see more flat blue or green ( or any other colour) pottery pieces you collect. It’s freezing now in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 so a warm look back to the summer days agrees with me. Bye for now.
Thanks Amanda, I hope so too. And, also, strange as it might seem, I'm glad for this rain too... the summer was very dry, and the reservoirs still aren't full again. (plus, it does refresh some of the mudlarking sites 🙂).
@@tom_burleigh I'm all for the reservoirs filling up, just not my house lol. You're right about the dump sites though, they are always better after rain 😁💗 x
I so enjoy these videos! Your kind demeanor, knowledge about so much, and willingness to take us along is wonderful. I especially love when we see old structures as here in the US, an "old" structure is typically only 100-200 years old. It's interesting to "see" things through your eyes & much nicer than a simple photograph. Thank you for our adventures & I hope you have a terrific 2023!
There's certainly some absolutely beautiful places around here, I rarely film the most picturesque. I hope if you do ever visit, you have a lovely time... and I hope you're keeping well too.🙂
Still a beautiful place to go for a wander, a few nice things found and thank you for caring enough to pick up litter too . Take care and thank you for sharing your walk, very enjoyable..👍🙏❤️
Best thing that happened all day! Sometimes I take screenshots of the water reflections. They make beautiful abstract screensavers. Hope that isn't theft!
Anyone is absolutely welcome to take screenshots from my videos, for any non-commercial use. I'm glad you're getting enjoyment from the fleeting ripples and reflections long after they're gone, and even beyond the videos. 🙂
Thank you. I am the most non-commercial soul you will ever meet! I do love remembered beauty, however. Perhaps that is why I enjoy not just the ripples, but the found objects with their hidden stories of past lives.
Happy New Year and many salutations Tom another soothing video. That ceramic insulator was a wonderful find I’m sorry you lost it bet it was what I call a oh doy moment.😮 hate it I’m sure you’ll find another some other time. Interesting pieces of old machine everything is as made so solid back in the past. Time and slow moving currents haven’t completely deteriorated the metal. I to live the flashes of lights and ripples in water. I used to I’ve near the river and loved to watch the flashes of light on the little minnows as they passed by. I had a neighbor with a domestic duck and a wild mallard bred with it and their babies loved to go floating downstream. They looked very strange intend. I’m sorry the invasive plants have taken over your UK waterways. I think in another you said our crayfish had somehow invaded there too somehow. We call them crawdads here. Be glad y’all don’t have kudzu that stuff just takes over everything .
@@tom_burleigh you’ve really inspired me (to the point of buying myself some waders 😂) the place where I want to go is actually at a huge mill site. If you would like me to share the location with you then I’m quite happy to..
thanks for the nice day! I envy you going kayaking on that sweet little river! What kind of kayak do you have? For 20 years I kayaked on western US rivers and the Sea of Cortez off the Sonoran coast of Mexico. My boats finally gave up the ghost and I miss it.
3:08 seems like the in-ground base for a road/highway sign. Sign post would slip inside to allow for removal/replacement quickly if metal post is run over and bent.
Enjoyed the river walk today! It was just what I needed. Thank you Tom. And of course I loved the music! Take care Tom and hopefully we’ll see you sooner rather than later!
Just as I got a craft idea to make use of blue and white pieces, I stopped finding so many. Now they're one of my top targets for what I'm looking for. (my idea, in case you fancy doing similar, is making a bird bath, tiled in blue and white sherds. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh I slung all the pieces i found as i have no use for them.If i had known i could have saved them for you and sent them to you.Nice idea for the bird bath.
Because they were broken, they look different, but those insulators are all standard number 1 style ones. They are the shippams pot of the insulator world basically, so I wouldn't mourn them either unless they had odd markings. The smaller version of that style called a "queens" pattern is nicer. I have covid currently which is awful, but your videos are always soothing. If I ever get to Yorkshire, I'll help you lug some mill carts out. I like that flotation chamber too. That "brazing torch would make a good Star Wars blaster!
Star Wars blaster is a very cool idea, thanks Richard. Thanks also for the confirmation that the insulators weren't especially special. I hope you're starting to feel better, and that you aren't left with any long lasting symptoms. I doubt the mill cart is still there now, the river has been 1.5m higher than usual in the last few days, easily enough to carry it off downstream.... but, I'm sure there'll be finds I'll need help getting out again. 🙂
Did you use a new piece of music in the background of this video? There was a piece I didn't recognize. It's a lovely river for wading. Too bad it wasn't more full of finds for you.
I enjoyed seeing the sunshine and as always the beautiful rivers and streams. I think the little fish may be a Bullhead and appropriately for this video known as Millers thumb. I am intrigued to see what your collection of blue and white pottery will become. Thank you Tom, take care.
The float reminded me of the dual carburetors on my MG. I had an MGBGT in germany and it had dual carburetors. I could sit and watch water flow over stones in a river for hours.
I was going to say it looked like you had the components to make a steampunk lamp with the insulator as a base, the brass heater part as a stem, and the brass car part float as the shade for the bulb. Darn, too bad the insulator got dropped but stuff happens. It would have been neat to be able to make a lamp from the items all found from the same trip. Typing this as I am watching the video so maybe you will find another insulator farther down the stream.
please don't ever stop! I'm a sand larker that lives through you.we have an ocean enviorment.i envy you with your shores and river banks.watch you over and over. anna creef from the outer banks of North Carolina
The beauty of this video really pulled at my heart strings. The poetic lilt in your voice guides us up and down stream. Reminds me of my childhood. I'm sorry there is so much rubbish but at the same time I'm so grateful...
I've always enjoyed your larks and while I started with other sites from your side of the Atlantic, yours are so laid back and relaxing. My friends always say that I was born in the wrong country. Thank you.
We haven't had much sun here for about a month too... mostly rain. Still, I managed to get out mudlarking yesterday, and Spring is only a few short months away. 🙂
always super photography, your location is beautiful, my rivers are somewhat dry, but we do have one or two that are not, but because of venomous snakes would not go in them. I had one not long ago creeping up my stair, nasty viper, but I like snakes, it was more scared of me, it slithered away to our Baranco, which is Spanish for ditch, ours is meters high, but when the rain comes you can hear the water rushing by. And attracts mosquitos and toads.
Thanks Steven. I'm doing OK in general. Did crash a bit on editing, which means putting out a video I meant to keep in reserve for such crashes... only much sooner than expected. Oh well. Hope you're well too. 🙂
@@tom_burleighI got diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. They found it late.but I've had radiotherapy. And it asent gone enny were so it's been contained. With hormone injection. It is what it. And i can't do enny thing about it..I retired as well last year..just keep thinking positively. Take care 🙂❤.
Oh dear, that's a hard diagnosis to get hit with. I hope it's not too much of an impediment to doing most of the things you wanted to fill your retirement with. Glad you're thinking positively. 🙂
@@steventhomas4288 Dr Max Gersons book -healing the hopeless - this is what everybody need to read and understand to restore your body. Best wishes to you .
Tom! I confess I lay down very tired at the end of the day to watch(finally) the video, and the river sound mixed with your voice and guitar music soothed me so badly I was semi sleeping by the end of it! Anyway, I loved what part of the video I managed to grasp, and am planning on rewatching it tomorrow to get the rest. I was wondering if you could share some form o contact with me, as I was working in a little project you inspired me and wanted to share with you, if it interests you of course :) That's all for now! Have a great night and week to come. Bye!
I'm glad my videos relax people so. I hope you enjoyed it if you've re-watched it. Yes, you can contact me either on my Instagram page, (instagram.com/tomburleigh_mudlarking) or my Facebook Author page, (facebook.com/TomBurleighWriter) I'm certainly interested in seeing your project. 🙂
Talking of arches and mills, depends what type of mill? Or what it did, some mills as you probably know due to the industrial revolution turned to steam power, maybe it was where they had the turbines to turn the mill wheel, I´m only guessing, have no clue, maybe it was just decorative...
Tom, thank you again for the lovely video. Looking at these rivers, I don't remember seeing turtles and it looks like a perfect place for them....do you not have turtles/terrapins there?
No, I don't think there are any freshwater turtles or terrapins native to the UK. There are ocean turtles that visit the coast. Plenty of other wildlife to see though, I watched a mink hunting recently. 🙂
@@desertrose2059 No, we have Foxes, probably the closest in behaviour to raccoons, nothing quite like possums. We also have Badgers, Rabbits, Hares, Pine Martens, Mink, Polecats, Wild Boar, and Otters. There was once a terrapin (the European Pond Terrapin), that was native to the UK, but it went extinct here about 8000 years ago, when the climate cooled, interrupting their egg incubation. They still live in much of Europe. The UK has lost quite a few native species, largely because of humans draining marshes, cutting down forests, and over hunting. We're only now starting to try to change some of the changed places back.

As always, thank you Tom!

Thanks Angela, I love the river walks too; generally less to find than at the dumpsites, but nicer scenery and better for melting stresses away. 🙂
Totally enjoyed your stream wade ,lovely to see green as we are very very snow covered.
Your finds may not be plentiful but they are interesting .

I have covid currently which is awful, but your videos are always soothing. If I ever get to Yorkshire, I'll help you lug some mill carts out. I like that flotation chamber too. That "brazing torch would make a good Star Wars blaster!
Star Wars blaster is a very cool idea, thanks Richard. Thanks also for the confirmation that the insulators weren't especially special. I hope you're starting to feel better, and that you aren't left with any long lasting symptoms.
I doubt the mill cart is still there now, the river has been 1.5m higher than usual in the last few days, easily enough to carry it off downstream.... but, I'm sure there'll be finds I'll need help getting out again. 🙂
Did you use a new piece of music in the background of this video? There was a piece I didn't recognize.
It's a lovely river for wading. Too bad it wasn't more full of finds for you.
Happy New year!
Thanks Reta, Happy New Year to you too. 🙂
Happy new year Tom and Yorkshire is the only place I call home see you on the next one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Happy New Year Pauline. Yorkshire is a wonderful place to call home. 🙂
HelloTom, Happy New Year and Thank you so much for posting another interesting video ! Jane from Wellingborough Northamptonshire x
Thanks Jane, Happy New Year to you too. I'm glad you still enjoy my videos. 🙂
Enjoyed this! Pretty place!
Thanks Ronda, it's always been an enjoyable place for me to visit, and usually something worth finding there. 🙂
I enjoyed seeing the sunshine and as always the beautiful rivers and streams. I think the little fish may be a Bullhead and appropriately for this video known as Millers thumb. I am intrigued to see what your collection of blue and white pottery will become. Thank you Tom, take care.
Great video tom as alway nice finds
Thanks Mick 🙂
The float reminded me of the dual carburetors on my MG. I had an MGBGT in germany and it had dual carburetors. I could sit and watch water flow over stones in a river for hours.
I was going to say it looked like you had the components to make a steampunk lamp with the insulator as a base, the brass heater part as a stem, and the brass car part float as the shade for the bulb. Darn, too bad the insulator got dropped but stuff happens. It would have been neat to be able to make a lamp from the items all found from the same trip. Typing this as I am watching the video so maybe you will find another insulator farther down the stream.
please don't ever stop! I'm a sand larker that lives through you.we have an ocean enviorment.i envy you with your shores and river banks.watch you over and over. anna creef from the outer banks of North Carolina
Happy New Year Tom. Another wonderful and relaxing video. The scenery and sounds of the water 👌🥰 thank you for taking us along with you 😊
Thanks Deb, Happy New Year to you too. 🙂
The beauty of this video really pulled at my heart strings. The poetic lilt in your voice guides us up and down stream. Reminds me of my childhood. I'm sorry there is so much rubbish but at the same time I'm so grateful...
Your metals knowledge and experience with salvaging and forging has really expanded. Fun video Tom thank you!
I've always enjoyed your larks and while I started with other sites from
your side of the Atlantic, yours are so laid back and relaxing. My friends always say that I was born in the wrong country. Thank you.
We have not seen the sun in a month out here in eastern Ontario and it looks balmy in northern England. Happy winter!
We haven't had much sun here for about a month too... mostly rain. Still, I managed to get out mudlarking yesterday, and Spring is only a few short months away. 🙂
Tom I think you have the balance of a cat!!! Love your video as always
Good to see you again Tom been awhile 👍👍👍
Thanks Charles. Hopefully won't be too long till the next upload, I'm aiming for every 2 weeks now. 🙂
So glad for the familiar music that i will always connect with pleasant outings.
Thanks always. Oregon Coast, USA
always super photography, your location is beautiful, my rivers are somewhat dry, but we do have one or two that are not, but because of venomous snakes would not go in them. I had one not long ago creeping up my stair, nasty viper, but I like snakes, it was more scared of me, it slithered away to our Baranco, which is Spanish for ditch, ours is meters high, but when the rain comes you can hear the water rushing by. And attracts mosquitos and toads.
Thank you 😊
You're very welcome. 🙂
Great video ! Such a beautiful day and walk ! Happy New Year to you both !
Thanks Kathy, Happy New Year to you too. 🙂
Hi Tom how are you keeping..hope you are well. From Steven from South Elmsall/pontefract Castle..
Thanks Steven. I'm doing OK in general. Did crash a bit on editing, which means putting out a video I meant to keep in reserve for such crashes... only much sooner than expected. Oh well. Hope you're well too. 🙂
@@tom_burleighI got diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. They found it late.but I've had radiotherapy. And it asent gone enny were so it's been contained. With hormone injection. It is what it. And i can't do enny thing about it..I retired as well last year..just keep thinking positively. Take care 🙂❤.
Oh dear, that's a hard diagnosis to get hit with. I hope it's not too much of an impediment to doing most of the things you wanted to fill your retirement with. Glad you're thinking positively. 🙂
@@steventhomas4288 Dr Max Gersons book -healing the hopeless - this is what everybody need to read and understand to restore your body. Best wishes to you .
Looks like a great place to do some magnet fishing .
That is a beautiful bridge
Yh out sir have a most calming and addictive voice. Was introduced to you by another mudlark.
Lovely video as always Tom! Thank you… x
Happy New Year Tom, my best to you and yours.
Happy New Year Angie, I hope 2023 is a good year for you and yours too. 🙂
Lovely walk. Thank you!
Tom! I confess I lay down very tired at the end of the day to watch(finally) the video, and the river sound mixed with your voice and guitar music soothed me so badly I was semi sleeping by the end of it!
Anyway, I loved what part of the video I managed to grasp, and am planning on rewatching it tomorrow to get the rest.
I was wondering if you could share some form o contact with me, as I was working in a little project you inspired me and wanted to share with you, if it interests you of course :)
That's all for now! Have a great night and week to come. Bye!
I'm glad my videos relax people so. I hope you enjoyed it if you've re-watched it.
Yes, you can contact me either on my Instagram page, (instagram.com/tomburleigh_mudlarking) or my Facebook Author page, (facebook.com/TomBurleighWriter) I'm certainly interested in seeing your project. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh I have contacted you on Instagram 👍🤓
I would love to see Richard Hemery on your channel with you!
Talking of arches and mills, depends what type of mill? Or what it did, some mills as you probably know due to the industrial revolution turned to steam power, maybe it was where they had the turbines to turn the mill wheel, I´m only guessing, have no clue, maybe it was just decorative...
Tom, thank you again for the lovely video. Looking at these rivers, I don't remember seeing turtles and it looks like a perfect place for them....do you not have turtles/terrapins there?
No, I don't think there are any freshwater turtles or terrapins native to the UK. There are ocean turtles that visit the coast. Plenty of other wildlife to see though, I watched a mink hunting recently. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh Thanks, I did not know that. I wonder why no freshwater turtles there. Do you have raccoons or possums?
@@desertrose2059 No, we have Foxes, probably the closest in behaviour to raccoons, nothing quite like possums. We also have Badgers, Rabbits, Hares, Pine Martens, Mink, Polecats, Wild Boar, and Otters.
There was once a terrapin (the European Pond Terrapin), that was native to the UK, but it went extinct here about 8000 years ago, when the climate cooled, interrupting their egg incubation. They still live in much of Europe. The UK has lost quite a few native species, largely because of humans draining marshes, cutting down forests, and over hunting. We're only now starting to try to change some of the changed places back.
