That's what I needed Gail and Alex; a good bit of history, some really cute finds, a pun from Gail and some Girl Power! We don't need no stinkin' woodcutter to happen along!
The cog is made of cotton like denim or canvas it is layered with Phenolic resin similar to Fiberglass but it's fire resistant and it's resistant to wear . Some year's ago I built a light aircraft and the firewall / bulkhead was made out of the same material .
I am so amazed you both have added something new to your many talents! Gail the writer and Alex the storyteller! You both are two of the best treasures I’ve dug up in along time! Please keep sharing your videos! I vote for the little bird feeder! I love my feathered friends of all kinds!
The cog is made from a material known as Tufnol, and is still used today. It's a resin impregnated cloth, and can be used for many thing. It machines well, and in the case of this gear wheel, it would run very quietly. Straight cut gears such as these, when made of metal, clatter like fury. A very natty find indeed
The cog as Andy stated was made of resin impregnated cloth and pressed at high pressure and temperature. The factory I worked at made a lot of these in large blocks and sent them out to be finished into the cogs and other items. Everything from 1/8 inch to 6 inch thick as well as tubes and rods of all sizes.
My favorites are the tiny stoneware penny ink, the giant cog, and the closed fist pacifier piece. The fist looked like a steampunk arm when it came out of the ground. I think Alex should cast it and make silver necklaces from it. I vote for the fist or the cog to be in the window as they are both very unique. Thanks for taking us along on your lark. :-)
I think the tiny child with a flask should go into the window as a show of kindness and sharing his finds... I truly love your joy and sheer excitement you exhibit Alex... Thank you for another wonderful adventure ladies.. Much love from LizBeth TN., USA
Brilliant as usual ladies! But, even better than most because of Gail’s lovely poem and Alex’s impeccable reading! Please put the bottom of the blown glass bowl in the window and position it so the suns rays shine through it. I think it would cast a gorgeous glow . . .see you Sunday!!
I think the The fisted hand, made of bone should take its spot in the window. Great finds, the stoneware, The ink well and the mini Victorian lady, who was Little Red Riding Hood. Gail, your version of it was much better than the one I grew up with, where the wolf ate them both and slept under the tree to digest his meal. Thanks for a wonderful time.
You guys are so much fun to watch and incredibly talented. I am a fellow jewler and beachcomber who lives on a little island on the west coast of Canada. Here's to world peace and hopefully virus free too, all the best, Bronwen McLeod
Lovely finds as usual. I vote for the red riding hood to go in the window as it lead to a wonderful rendition of Red Hiding Hood as written by Gail and recited by Alex.
What an interesting lark, I love how the river bank throws up such an eclectic historical treasure trove. The last deep blue 'ink' was beautiful. Gail, your rendition of Little Red Riding Hood made me smile, it is so not nice to eat your neighbours, ha ha. Your video is a happy start to the day. Take care and stay well 😁👍
My choice of the item to be place in the window is.... the beautiful blue glass finial/stopper thingy. It sparkles so beautifully. I loved the version of Little Red Riding hood by your mom! Adorable. I enjoyed the adventure. 🤗❣️🌸👍
Really impressed with how well your video editing and video story telling has progressed in the past year. Your beautiful, interesting little treasures and the stories they contain makes for very relaxing and entertaining viewing.
Your table round up is one of the greatest mudlarker round ups. It is so well laid out and designed. It is really impressive. I miss you going through the items in the end because it gives Alex the experience of learning and passing on history so we have it for the younger generations. Alex does an excellent job of investigating the history and she opens the door to teaching more younger ones to join in passing on history as it is found. Bubbly ink bottles are my dream finds lol cause we don't have any place to mudlark here in Missouri lol and there are no little bubbly ink bottles. One day I will own ONE! cause I don't like to dust hahaha
I’m from Missouri as well and have always wanted to look for treasure along the river banks but never had the chance so am living it vicariously through Gail and Alex.☺️👍
Great finds this week ladies. Baby’s pacifier handle for the window sill of wonders for us please. We really enjoyed your version of Little Red Riding Hood and wholeheartedly agree with your message at the end 🇺🇦
Think the two teeth you found belonged to the Big Bad Wolf. Little Red Riding Hood survived so she might deserve a place in the window. Really enjoy your videos and stories each week.
I can totally see Alex making a mold of the hand piece and making a pendant from it. New slogan: I'm taking it anyway. Put Little Red Riding Hood in the window.
Great story and telling at the end but my vote for the window is the bone fist baby dummy because of Alex's great excitement and enthusiasm at findiing it and Gail's many hours of research to find out what it was. The carving on it is so detailed so it must surely have been a soother for a baby from a wealthy background. I loved the gorgeous colour of that pen-rest ink too. That would be a dream find for me and is on my bucketlist. Thanks for another great video, ladies. Take care, Jeanette
Can you read a fairytale every time you put up a video? I love when you narrate and tell a tale. Hearing about the people that made things you find in your adventures. I love you two. Thank you so much for looking up the history on these objects too.
Hi lovely ladies, love your red riding hood story/poem, another string to your bows. Some really great finds and wonderful coloured glass. Much love ❤️ Sue Gosling
Well done on the story writing Gail and Alex you did an amazing job reading it. I think the little ceramic bird feeder is my favorite of you finds and it should go on the window ledge.
You two ladies are a joy. I love your treasures all muddy and broken. Your squeals of delight says more than any words spoken. I vote for one of the small crocks to sit on the window of wonder.
I like the Little Red Riding Hood figure for the window. I also like the picture hanger. So wonderful to have you to look forward to each week. Love going with you to peer into the past.
The little bottle with the cris cross cut design is from the 1840's it had gold in the cut marks. I have a Victorian Tear Catcher from the mid 19th C and I think its he same type of glass. Yours had gold on it when You dug it up and you have to be very careful to let it dry before cleaning or the gold will rub off. Your piece may have been part of a perfume or cologne set but was very nice.
Loved the Red Riding hood story, Gail. I think the Red Riding Hood should go in the window for this week. Thank you for all the hard work you gals put into making g our day🤩🤩🤩
ladies' I just can't get enough of your videos. I could watch you all night.I've gone back and watched your old videos .But alas I've run out. Your story was awesome.The finds were great,all of them.My favorite is the bone arm but the little stoneware pots are beautiful. I love the way mother and daughter work together.I watch many mudlarkers and bottle diggers but you are truely my favorites.GOD bless from PA. USA.
Great video! I vote for the pair of Red Riding Hood figurines along with an aged looking scroll filled with Gail's poem. It should be written with tiny little words using an old ink pen and ink that may have come from an ink bottle like you find on your adventures! 💃🍶🐺✒❤
The cog material is called phenolic with industrial and automotive applications, made from resin and organic material. Sort of a early forerunner of plastic.
the gear is micarta! it's a tough material made of layers of cloth bound together with a resin or other polymer. it has some other brand names mentioned in other comments but nowadays micarta is the general name for the material. they would use micarta gears in industrial equipment because it's light, strong, easy to machine, and makes something run quieter. you can still find it used today, but it's somewhat hazardous to work with so it's fallen out of use in favor of nylon and other plastics.
What an interesting hunt indeed, Ladies. Enjoyed your finds, per usual. Your rock really has me stumped. Seems to be several images, leaving one to speculate that someone was working with clay and were dismayed at the results, so they smushed it all together and eventually it became hardened, as a fossilized rock. Having said that, at 13:13 where you are showing the rock in the sunshine there looks to be the outline of a mama elephant and her baby, that are covered in a blanket (perhaps toys?) At 13:10 it looks like there are two or three seams with possible gold in them. It would be interesting to cut it exactly in half and see what's inside. Might be a little patch of gold? ( : The gift the other mudlarker found and gave you would do nicely in your window, always a reminder of how truly kind people can be.
Great story Gail and a lovely reading from Alex! Such eclectic finds. So rich in History and all have a story to tell. The pacifier hand should go in the window. Great finds ladies. 🦋
For me this time it`s the birdfeeder and I will say that it was from a mine :) , if it is for real that had made such a journey , keeping the little bird fed and the miners safe :). But yet again what finds you make !! :) . And also to find the little red ridinghood figurine I guess it`s one of those "one in a milloin" to find her as well complete.
The rock I'm thinking a type of Agate there are many .... That's a great find!!! Even better when wet. I'm sure you know people slice them. The insides of them have many surprises.....
@12:53, metamorphic rock (or migmatite), possibly serpentine or gneiss. Very cool!
That's what I needed Gail and Alex; a good bit of history, some really cute finds, a pun from Gail and some Girl Power! We don't need no stinkin' woodcutter to happen along!
Exactly! xx
The cog is made of cotton like denim or canvas it is layered with Phenolic resin similar to Fiberglass but it's fire resistant and it's resistant to wear . Some year's ago I built a light aircraft and the firewall / bulkhead was made out of the same material .
Seriously?? I thought surely, NOBODY is going to know this and along comes an aeronautical engineer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My husband is also an Aeronautical Engineer, he says it’s what they call phenolic!!
Is it similar to Micarta?
@@Bebbis77 Yes I couldn't remember the name of it .
Hopefully not brown asbestos also used in train brake linings earlier on due to being fire resistant.
The Ukrainian heart was an amazing touch at the end of the little red riding hood rhyme!!!
The new version of Red Riding Hood was delightful
Gails Little Riding Hood should be published in its own childrens book! U all just keep coming up with more talents!
Gail, your poem at the end was absolutely brilliant!!! Thank you!
Your version of the story was brilliant. Never a good idea to attack a neighbour. 💙💛 thank you!
What if the neighbour is a traitor?! ✌️
@@imeldafadlen9968 off with their heads! 🤣
Heartfelt thoughts!
I am so amazed you both have added something new to your many talents! Gail the writer and Alex the storyteller! You both are two of the best treasures I’ve dug up in along time! Please keep sharing your videos! I vote for the little bird feeder! I love my feathered friends of all kinds!
Great finds! I think the fisted hand and the little boy blue deserves to be on the window sill. A great version of little Red Riding Hood. 😍 ❤
'Attacking neighbours is not nice', beautiful sentiment. That was a wonderful video, thank you so much.
Very timely message in light of world events these days. God bless Ukraine! 🇺🇦

I knew I've seen something like that before, great information. I had no idea what they were made from. Thank you.

Nice touch with the Ukraine heart and the moral of the story 👌💙💛❤️👍
I loved that unusual rock the most. It looked like a piece of some ancient carving that had been smoothed down by the sea. I love it 😍
The little figurine in blue and white reminds me of Mrs Bucket in Keeping up appearances, very cute.
Boo Kay! 😉
@@mewzishun ROFL!

I thought steam punk immediately too! ( :
Oh I loved your ending to little red riding hood. Far better than any I have heard so far.
Gail , that poem was brilliant. Totally enjoyed this video. Thank you. I liked the blue bottle stop .
Classy tasteful end to the red riding hood story. Well done ladies. Bravo. 🇺🇦
Ah! a little bit of light has just brightened up my Monday night. I really look forward to a new video from you. Thank you.
Great remake of Red Riding Hood, Gail. Alex, you narrated it quite beautifully. My vote is for the big and little riding hood figurines.
I do love your subtle message in the little red riding hood story… bravo ❤️ xxx
Had to watch it all again. I am thrilled at the flood of likes. ...Go Northern Mudlarks !
I think the tiny child with a flask should go into the window as a show of kindness and sharing his finds...
I truly love your joy and sheer excitement you exhibit Alex...
Thank you for another wonderful adventure ladies..
Much love from LizBeth

Great find from Indiana Pennsylvania! My home town . Thanks for the shout out! Love all your treasures!❤️
My grandfather grew up in Indiana PA :)
My dad was born there.
Brilliant as usual ladies! But, even better than most because of Gail’s lovely poem and Alex’s impeccable reading! Please put the bottom of the blown glass bowl in the window and position it so the suns rays shine through it. I think it would cast a gorgeous glow . . .see you Sunday!!
That was a fabulous version of Little Red Riding Hood. 😍

Girls and wolves. A timeless tale. The more things change the more they stay the same.
When u snapped the cup, sorry Gail, but I did laugh ☺️☺️
I absolutely love how excited you get over the smallest of things that you find. I feel as though I’m right there with you🥰
The shaking hand of joy, I never tire at the sight of excitement.

I’m so happy when you ladies find beautiful glass shards because I know it will have a new life as a lovely bead.💕💕💕💕i absolutely love this .Grace
Pretty chunky piece of jasper. With bits of agite woven through out. Great find!
Coral fossil would be my best guess for the rock.
Yay! As soon as I saw the notification that you’d put out another video, I had a smile on my face. Hello, you two! 👋🥰
For the window I liked the speckled glass. It could be used for jewelry or Christmas ornament.
Great finds this week ladies. Baby’s pacifier handle for the window sill of wonders for us please. We really enjoyed your version of Little Red Riding Hood and wholeheartedly agree with your message at the end 🇺🇦
The Green Glass in the window. Awesome finds ladies
And that Gail is why we can't have nice things.😂👍
Cool finds. And little red riding hood never sounded better.
What FUN! And I LOVE your Red Riding Hood poem, Gail! 🙂
Think the two teeth you found belonged to the Big Bad Wolf. Little Red Riding Hood survived so she might deserve a place in the window.
Really enjoy your videos and stories each week.

What a stunningly beautiful job on your rendition of, "Little Red Riding Hood." You two are amazing!!
I like the little man drinking from a gold flask. Thanks girls xxx
The bone hand is a must for the window of treasures x
Wow to little red riding hood who is very deserving of such a fantastic poem / fairie tale.
Loved this video. Thankyou Alex & Gail.💙💚

The best thing about Monday evenings 😍
Loved the Red Riding hood story, Gail. I think the Red Riding Hood should go in the window for this week. Thank you for all the hard work you gals put into making g our day🤩🤩🤩
Yes.. and I had to freeze frame that painting of Little Red Riding Hood to appreciate the art. (23:04) very Rembrandt to me. I wonder who did it.
Love love love you two! Love to see what treasures you find. Now I want to be a mudlarker!!
Same here !
I love that you are avid researchers, I am too! I want to know everything and get very frustrated when I can't find any identification.
Love Gail’s version of little red riding hood!!❤
Can't decide on what goes into the window, so many interesting finds. Loved the end of your story 💙💛

Rockreader. That’s how I felt about this rock, that it had been a project for someone and it got ruined. Now I need to go back and see the elephants
Great story Gail and a lovely reading from Alex! Such eclectic finds. So rich in History and all have a story to tell. The pacifier hand should go in the window. Great finds ladies. 🦋
What a heartfelt and creative demonstration of support in your retelling of red riding hood. Thank you,
SUCH AN ENJOYABLE VIDEO, QUITE ENJOYED, SOME GREAT FINDS FOR SUR
I am only guessing- but the interesting rock, reminds me of petrified wood. It IS fabulous whatever it is 🥰
For me this time it`s the birdfeeder and I will say that it was from a mine :) , if it is for real that had made such a journey , keeping the little bird fed and the miners safe :). But yet again what finds you make !! :) . And also to find the little red ridinghood figurine I guess it`s one of those "one in a milloin" to find her as well complete.
💕 That version of Little Red Riding Hood was very touching 🇺🇦
Nice video and story. Luv the fist.. but how about the nice hook above the window to hang another treasure (Or bead string📿) with ☺️
What a treasure trove of finds. Love that tiny stoneware ink bottle and who would imagine another red Riding hood figurine!
The rock I'm thinking a type of Agate there are many .... That's a great find!!! Even better when wet. I'm sure you know people slice them. The insides of them have many surprises.....
What a lovely day out. I love your version of Little Red Ridinghood. See you next week!
Be well, stay well - peace and goodwill to all in the world.
Alex, I think instead of a salt shaker it is a top for a decanter that measures out a shot of whiskey.
thanks ..a very nice vlog again...and a special story told at the end.thanks for that too.greetz from the Netherlands.PEACE.
What a great place ladies thank you 😊 xxx
