I love how Alex sounds so excited about everything, it's adorable and refreshing too because we all can feel the same excitement even when it's simple stuff sometimes
Aww thank you xx
The easy way to get your garden tilled is to hand Gail and Alex a metal detector and a shovel! LOL
Your birds have the funniest look when they look directly into the camera.
When Gail said "someone was putting makeup on in the garden" I pictured an old farmer secretly putting on lipstick! 😂😂
Kris Cook the statement lipstick on a pig came from somewhere
You ladies are the treasure 💝
What a gorgeous family you have, my goodness.
truly! Lovely Alex and handsome Will.
Thank you for a wonderful time!
I've been binge watching your videos since last night. So glad I discovered your channel!! I Love your editing..and ..your narration and voice are amazing! I adore the relationship you have with your Mum! Keep up the amazing work and be safe! Much Love from America!!
LOL, how fun tossing the caper!! Well done! I enjoyed the video so much🚜💱👍👍👍
😂😂😂Will: typical sibling responce, takes coin from Sister puts in pocket...Thanks
What is the best to me is your mother and daughter and you are best friends that is the best thing of this whole Podcast the closeness between a mother and a daughter That travels beyond time and that is priceless that is a bond that can never be broken true love best friends you are both the same mother and daughter.n You are so much alike with both of you what's unique Passion and the knowledge of what you find it is just wonderful to watch from America with love
So sweet to think about the little boy who played with those toys.
ooh god I want to meet the shwoos so bad they seem so friendly
what on earth is a shwoo?
Wonderful video guys, thank you! I'd love to see an episode where you talk about your very local history. The Scottish border region has a history to rival any other.
Yes please! That would be wonderful, & so interesting!
I loved it when your bird tried to eat the coin 🤣
Very nice! You don't have to travel far to find treasures!! Great video! Thanks so much 🙏 💓 ☺️ 😊
I love seeing all three of you as a family working on your yard digging for Treasures. Thank you for sharing these moments with us
I love that you have so much fun together, tossing the caber was hilarious 😂 x
The Shroows remind me of the seagulls in "Finding Nemo", MINE! MINE! MINE!
schwoo .. it has to do with LSD ;)
I love watching your family treasure hunting, whatever little trinkets and bits and bobs you happen to find! I plan on metal detecting our huge yard and field when the weather gets warm enough. The fun is in the hunt, because you don't know what you will find. Thank you!
Love the shrews xxx you are fantastic down to the music xx lovely escape from life
Happy VE day, history is found in the ground. But look to the sky and wonder how much history it saw. Makes me feel like a drop of water in an endless ocean.
Omg….I LOVE the Schwoos 🦚
Awesome finds congratulations guys 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great finds keep these videos coming thank you
Gotta love those schwoos.
Love your finds! Your birds are so awesome to watch!
You can see the dinosaur heritage in the close-ups of the shwoos.
Loved the caber tossing.
The shwoos are so CUTE
Love all your videos! Thanks for taking us along!
You and your mother are true humans. Watching you carefully relocate a snake just illustrates the beauty of your soul. Your Peahens are lovely. It’s a joy to see the asides to where you live; it’s priceless. Your enthusiasm and your optimism are inspiring. You are an ocean away but in my heart of hearts you are right next-door.
How fun! Can't believe I missed seeing all the adventures from 2021! 💗🇺🇸😍
I loved your snake.
Thank you☮️🇨🇦
Nice work, Ladies (and Will)! You sure dug up quite a lot over a number of days, including all the garden turn-over.
Some interesting finds ladies!! Glad to see you out enjoying the lovely sun! Will seems like he’s adjusting to camera life! He’s quiet the handsome young man!! We think you’re amazing too Alex! Lol 💕💕🇦🇺👍
That is because their mum is beautiful as well!

Nice to see Will.
OMG what a cool film. The only thing we find in our small garden is dirt. Lol
Had the greatest fun watching. Many thanks ❤️
I love how you said that treasure is what you think is treasure. So true! I love that everyone is looking for different things and finding happiness bonding over that. Love your birds and property ❤️
I love your larks on lock down series
Was that a snake you picked up? Brave girl...snakes here bite, even if they are not poisonous.
Thanks for another great video.
The buckle is off a WW2 British Army webbing ankle gator, its has a distinctive S bend so that it lies flat when fastened.
Well spotted.
Love the boss 🐓 namemade me chuckle out loud👍
You are such fun! Your finds maybe sparse but you make everything seem interesting! Hard to believe Boss Chicken even chases the Schwoos! Loved the caber tossing contest! Made me laugh out loud!
Haha! Thank you so much, we're glad you enjoyed it xx
This was a very fun video TY 👏👏
It’s so beautiful where you live
Ah that was so much fun thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure! xx
Loved seeing your home and yard! I’m giggling thinking of Alex with holes dug all over the yard 😂 Such a beautiful home and area you live in! 🏠
Wow , It must be nice to find that much treasure in your own backyard . Enjoyed the video . keep up the great explorations and larking : )
Thanks for a great video!
I love your wonderful enthusiasm 😃I hope you find a silver coin or a gold coin!😃don't give up. xx
Fingers crossed! xx
Good video, nice to see a slow worm as they are in decline..👍👍
Hello son/brother, nice to see you again.
No need to leave home you find wonders, right on the farm.
Your garden coming along.
Thanks for doing these lockdown videos.... you know digging up your yard for us. You are letting people(us) see moving forward can be done differently even though we are locked down. Great energy in your videos.
Alex says " It's a coin! It's a coin" Treasure!!!"
Glad to see you were able to get your brother in the video. I remember you said he normally avoids it. Great finds and video.
Lovely.
It is off a hot water bottle. I still use one, but in my 70's.
Good evening ladies. The toy tractor is a massy ferguson 135. Early 1970s. Possibly made by brittons . I learnt to drive on one as a youngster. The pistol ball was made in a ball mold that had a sprew cutter in it. It looks like a type of pliers. But the could be made single or in bunches. Type in pistol ball hand mold and you will see. Thank you for your entertainment. Keep safe 🐝😷
I was about to mention that about the tractor. ERTL Massey Ferguson. I believe it's an 1155 though, not a 135.
@@sourcreamking they are similar but the headlights and exhaust are the give away. And its an older model. But i have been wrong before. Thank you 🐝😷
@@waspiusmaximus2485 I'm mostly wrong, except when I'm not.
Yall find some really cool stuff your very lucky to live where u live
Thank you for your videos they are awesome
I love your videos, your peahens are so sweet
your life is so entertaining
Hello Gail and Alex and Will love this combination video and what great finds your schroos are so entertaining your garden will be worth every plant you grow I luv the stone wall take care see you sun 😎😚🤗🤗🤗
That chisel you found could have been the stone mason's that built your house. 🙂
Enjoyed!
The peacocks hugging OMG!..LOVE
Also, Happy Mothers Day !
Oh I adore the shwoos! It made me laugh when the coin got pecked!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe she was testing its purity.
I’m a bit late to the party… the tractor is a Massey Ferguson. Can just make out the badge on the front and it’s red. Great video, so cool what you can find in your garden 😀
Best place to find stuff’
Oh wow! That compact looks quite a bit like it might be from Kigu of London. I have had my eye on a few of their vintage compacts for a while and that one you have found looks like one out of their 1963 catalogue.
I think Alex won well done all great fun
My Grt grandmother used to give us girls her empty compacts ,perfume bottles,lipstick containers, we used to go outside and put them in our little purses and play with them. So when you find them in the garden, I can picture little girls playing with their Mothers or Grandmother’s empty containers like toys ,and they probably left them out there! 😊 That is my guess!
Another great vid.
I think that the bit of wood with the cog on the end is probably from an old hand
cranked wooden mangle for squing the water out of your washing. My grandmother
had one, as well as the old dolly tub and posser. The old equivelent to todays paddles
inside of a modern washing machine. She also had a rubbibg board and copper for boiling the water
to put into the dolly tub. When the local council decided to modernise the houses, she gave these items
to the Granada props department.
Every time I se a programme showing these items I wonder if they are the ones that my gran gave to them.
regards,
bill.
This was deliciously fun. I love how you can go into your yard and come away with delightful historical and fun finds. I could dig to China in my back yard and not find a single thing. I loved the bit of Scottish Games there at the end. You all are Caber tossing champions...ha ha ha...I've see the fellows at the Scottish Games do that here in the States, but have never seen the genuine article from Scotland. Very impressive...ha ha ha...I loved it! Your detecting in the garden and back yard look like such fun, and I am amazed at how far your garden area has come along. I am truly impressed with all of your hard work. Thank you for another lock-down liberating adventure. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Amazing finds as always😎😎 coins,musket balls, and a legless lizard in the garden if I'm not mistaking I found one of those the other day.... Again you ladies are awesome and love all of your videos!!!!!!! Be safe and happy hunting🤗🤗🤗 Peter-Ga USA
Thats a part of a burner where the flame comes out.
Shoe buckle is perfect for a choker!
You put both hands under the caber and balance it to your shoulder before your run-up and throw...but you all had a damn good try! !:^) There was a lot of lead, tin and a bit of silver mining went on in the Borders, Leadhills being obvious but Wanlockhead and such areas too. As someone commented below, the lump of lead could be the hidden treasure in the lot! Thanks for sharing your time. All the best. Stay Safe and Keep Well!
Brilliant finds ladies , I love your home and the shwoos are adorable tfs xx
I love when you present your finds cleaned and organized ... I had a good time too !
Maybe that big hunk of lead was where they got the lead for the musket ball mold?
Those peacocks are preciouuuuuss
Love your channel, love the content!
отличное видео )
I am new to your channel and I absolutely >love< watching you two and the excitement you share when you find something. I live in Washington State, USA, and I often lament our lack of history here. The things you find are incredible. And oddly, I watch Aquachigger as well! Both of your channels are very educational and so very, very relaxing. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. Stay safe!
Hello 👋🏻 such a fun little video to watch ❤️
Thanks for coming! xx
Looks like the shwoos need some treats 😋
I love that you have a clothesline and you use it nothing better than sun and breeze to dry clothes.♥️
I would soooo love to spend a day with you guys, having fun, giggling, finding treasures and celebrate at the end of the day with a nice cup of tea.
Another absolutely fun video! Your caber toss ending was so funny. My daughter and I have been fixing up our garden. We have only been at this house for 2 years. I’m pretty sure people before us just tossed all th
Oops ! Hate when that happens- -the people before us just tossed all their trash in the back garden. I wonder if all your lead bits were from musket ball making
Your videos are very enjoyable 😊 glad to have found you!
Double double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble
That round metal item is off a Fishing Reel it's the Spool
Handsome son an beautiful daughter! loving the things you get excited about.
History on your doorstep ...
Been watching your videos for a little while now and thought you must live in the borders like I do, keep up the good work xx
The Borders are beautiful - thanks so much for watching! xx
@@NorthernMudlarks lived here all my life and wouldn't live anywhere else. Should visit the banks of the Ettrick in selkirk and see what you find xx
That compact is truly amazing, makes you wonder who it belonged to from so many many years ago🧐
I look forward to seeing it after you clean it!
Looks like you've found a copper hammered coin 👍Well done on another cracking video.
yes, that is detekting.
