    The gray bottle stop is probably smoky quartz.

    It's a shame that the common nightingale isn't so common now.But what beautiful birdsong.Some great finds.

    36:50 I wonder if it is smokey quartz? That was popular in the Art Deco era. Other than that, I wonder if it was leaded and the heat from the tip burning has discolored it? Could also be (rare) scapolite (although I don’t think it is due to the clarity). Take it in to an antique dealer.

    The shell piece could be used as a Christmas decoration. Have you ever thought of making nature videos ? The clips you show are wonderful and how lucky to hear a Nightingale. Finally I must say Kate you have the most beautiful hair x

    You should take home pieces off the lilac bush you were standing next to when looking for the birds, the cutting's can be rooted and planted by your house.

    I absolutely love morels they are my favorite mushroom and so delicious 😋 we have neen hunting them here and I have some in my refrigerator right now. Thanks for the upload I love watching you and your mom wherever you go. I would love to see more charity shops and maybe a Farmers Market as well as your allotment and how it's growing, what you're eating from it, possibly how you use what you're growing. Love you both and whatever you're up to.

    More than once I thought I saw garlic mustard growing. It's an invasive plant here in the States, and I just pulled most of it up out of my yard this morning. My town - near Boston - has an official 'pull up the garlic mustard' program to save native plants.

    I think, but don't quote me, the stopper has a lot of lead in it.
    Glass like that was used in industrial glass to make it more magnetically and electrically inert making it safer to store certain chemicals.
    But I could be wrong 😊

    Honey bees are the ones that will die after stinging. Bumble bees do not lose their stingers, but they can sting more than once.

    • @Gelb65
      @Gelb65 5 месяцев назад +3

      Correct. And bumblebees sting much less often than honeybees. They are more docile.

  • @Gelb65
    @Gelb65 5 месяцев назад +3

    Abalone tends to be more grey, brown or green and has more swirls. I think your find is mother-of-pearl. That would be from an oyster.

    Over on this side of the pond, we pronounce the shell “a-buh-lone-ee”, and the oval shells are lovely. When I was young (I’m in my 70’s), we would find lots of the shells along the California shores. Plus, we loved eating abalone “steaks”. They were delicious! They virtually disappeared in the wild.

    The black bottle stopper seems made from a material called Ebonite. It was invented by Charles Goodyear in 1844 and replaced widely-used wooden bottle stoppers, which tended to soak up liquids and caused many bottles to explode.

      I grew up calling them pill bugs here in eastern North Carolina. I reckon it's because they roll up into a round pill shape. Roly poly bugs is another good name for them.

    Could the grey stopper be made of Soapstone ! It was a stone used for Many
    purposes in the 19 century. Often Soapstone kitchen sinks were preferred by homeowners.
    Soapstone is I think soft enough to carve and polish into many objects.
    Hope it is Soapstone. Happy for you whatever it is.
    Love the mother of pearl pendant or brooch piece. Thanks for sharing.
    Namaste. Carpe Diem.

    @angelavorhees5946 5 месяцев назад +2

  • @carolekinsey7835
    @carolekinsey7835 5 месяцев назад +2

    Hello Fleur and Kate. The leaf shaped beauty you found Kate, isn't Abalone. Abalone is a petrol blue green pink colour. Part of a shells layers. The very pretty leaf you found, was by the looks of it, a mother of pearl layer, as it looked white. It was such a lovely find, perfect in the surroundings it was found in. Nature makes everything better. How beautiful the dump looked. Green mosses, the dreaded nettles and those beautiful wild strawberries. Along with the trees... and big fat bumble bees looking for places to nest or feed. Beautiful.
    I loved the stoneware items. They will be put to such good use in your dreamed about kitchen Kate. I hope when that day comes, you will show us your kitchen. 😊
    A very enjoyable lark. Thank you for taking us along. X

  • @patty4091
    @patty4091 5 месяцев назад +1

    I keep thinking of that big pot you saw, it sure would be pretty, slightly on its side, with flowers cascading out of it. Like a stream. You had some very vocal birds on your walk, and I’m glad that you found your way out! 😂

  • @merahertel6256
    @merahertel6256 5 месяцев назад +1

    Mother of pearl usually lighter w/ peachy/pink tones, and abalone is a bit darker or deeper-colored with bluish, grayish, and maybe green and purple tones. What a lovely piece that was. Maybe a hair or hat clip if not a pin? Thanks for another happy lark. Thoroughly enjoyed.

    I love how you mudlarkers include nature into your videos. and the beautiful accompanying music to it, too - it is all greatly appreciated. Now, that heavy grey glass stopper - could it be lead crystal? It would account for the added weight and colour. What do you reckon?

  • @lisewarren2292
    @lisewarren2292 5 месяцев назад +1

    Mother of pearl is from nacre, a protective layer from a mollusk such as abolone or oyster shell its the first inner layer.
    a pearl is also nacre, Pearls are formed when an irritant, such as a bit of food, a grain of sand, bacteria, or even a piece of the mollusk's mantle becomes trapped in the mollusk. And the nacre part of shell grows around it, to protect the freshwater mussels or marrine oysters.
    Abalone shell is a gastropod mollusk, and all parts are used commercially.

    Larking with the nightingale! A lovely little wander in a lovely little forest, such fun finds too, especially the mother of pearl leaf. I think perhaps it's one half of a dress buckle. Sherd story was a wild ride! And so odd to run a tea room for an 'above average' customer, over a butchers!? Which in the 1880s was quite a grotesque scene...

    What a lovely forest of birdsong, spring flowers and I would have been lost forever 🙄 I just love the conversations and laughter and yes, your channel has evolved wonderfully 🤗 Could the stopper be lead crystal ? It would definitely be heavier than regular glass. Again, you both have brightened my day and the sherd story was amazing ! Much love and hugs, stay well and kiss Sunny for me 🥰🥰 xx
