Gail, might I suggest that you take the bottles, even despite your promise to yourself that you wouldn’t. Because you can sell them. Either on your own site or on eBay.
Agree! Si-finds even cuts down broken interesting ones to be repurposed as various utensil holders or whatever.
Totally agree
I'd love a tiny bottle with sea pebbles in it!
Yep. I would buy some !! Especially if it had some Scottish sand or dirt in it ! Lol
Should have kept reading the comments. I just typed the same thing. I agree
I have a suggestion for all your littler bottles, wire a row of them them to an old board or or something, makes a cute wall hanging and can put flowers in them.
What a WONDERFUL STORY AND OBITUARY. ALL from a DISCARDED BOTTLE. THANK YOU FOR THE INSIGHT INTO THE PAST. THE PAST IS OUR FORESIGHT. WHAT A FASCINATING ADVENTURE YOU BOTH ARE ON, AND WE'RE ALL UP FOR THE RIDE A LONG
I love the tiny bottles, but the sea glass and garnets you found before are my favourite, when you both say ‘hello’. Together I imagine that’s how the shwoo’s would sound if they could talk !
The scales would make some amazing mermaid jewelry! And.... maybe if you sell few collections of your tiny bottles, you can collect to your heart's desire! xoxo
It would be fun to try using the patterned vulcanite stoppers as stamps on some of those plain marmalade jars...
Agree. Good idea
That is what I was going to say too.
Totally agree
@@janahertzberg6485 same
Terrific idea!
Maybe consider bottle give-aways!
Totally agree
Hearing enthusiasm is therapy.
Totally agree
You could use the bottle stoppers as stamps to make artwork or decorate plain bottles/jars
I love this idea. They can make gift cards and gift wraps and other paper-based items. Love it!
Brilliant!!
I was thinking, get a piece of square wood, about the thickness of the parts that go into the bottles, or at least the longest one....drill holes into it big enough to poke the stoppers into and turn it all into a trivet...that way you're making something useful AND decorative as well....
A good idea as long as the stoppers have no writing on them. If you used those as stamps all the lettering would be in reverse! This wouldn't matter if they just have a design on them.
"What's that? "Ew" poo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Alex is so funny!
The brown bottle a great find, haven't seen one of those on mud larking before only on your video. It looks very tactile.! Xx
You should sell some of your bottles! I would love to buy an antique bottle 💜
Totally agree
Again superb production values, find it hard to explain how much I enjoy your videos, needless to say you are one of the highlights of my week. Your beautiful and precious and an inspiration to us all.
Thank you so much - that means a lot to us! x
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a mudlarkers fair for showing your finds, selling or swapping. Get rid of extras and get key pieces for your collection. People sell all sorts. My daughter wanted a hagstone for Xmas and we found some from Ireland. Not as nice as yours. Very interesting and relaxing videos in these covid times
Totally agree
I went beach combing today! Tons of beach glass and fun stuff
Yay! xx
I couldn't help laughing when you said "Oh it's poo".
Poo was the inevitable by product of our farm and yours ,as well, I'm sure.
I wish I had, had a dollar for every pound I shoveled:)
I believe Simon Bourne makes ink stamps out of vulcanite stoppers.
Happy Easter,
Rik Spector
Bring the little bottles home and I will buy them.
Interesting story about Mr Rawson and your bottle. I love the fish-scale pattern pottery shards and am excited to see what you'll do with them. :-)
You can make some garden pavers/stepping stones and embed the vulcanite bottle stoppers in the cement/plaster and it'll give them a nice grippy texture!
13:10 looks like a crying baby doll pacifier. Love the poison bottle! :)
I'm sure you are not the first person to mention that you could sell the little bottles in your Etsy shop and also the cob marbles. That beautiful stoneware bottle is a wonderful find. I get so much from your videos and appreciate you sharing your adventures.
Totally agree
Some interesting finds. Beautiful bottles (all of them). I especially love the tiny ones. I wouldn’t be able to resist them either 😋🙂
You could put the bottles in the Etsy shop? Love watching your videos...I'm going back in time to watch the older ones....if you can put some seaglass in your Etsy shop...would love to buy some...
Definitely! Maybe with some tiny treasures inside ! Like a button or a tiny arm, some sea glass, a knackered cod marble. Anything that would fit that would look interesting. Little bits and bobs !
You Can Use the Spoons to make Wind Chimes just a Suggestion!
I was thinking the same thing! Great minds think alike😉 Si-Finds makes them as well...Blessings send to everyone making, watching and leaving (only) positive comments on this another great video!🙏🏼🍀♥️👋🏼🇨🇦
If possible, save as many old bottles as possible, not just the stopper/stoppers. Just my thruppence worth. Keep up the great work saving and recording history. Many thanks for posting your excellent adventures
Love that brown stoneware bottle and so unusual in every aspect. But what I especially love about it, is its unusual brown colour and that lovely shiny glaze which has survived on it.
That stoneware bottle is just beautiful, great find!
Hey both!
I would love a little clean up of your finds video if you ever have extra time. Always struggling to get things spotless like you two!
I’m so happy I stumbled across this account a while ago it makes my day 😅
Love your intro music and of course the videos and finds xx
those tiny little candle holders are unreal!
too cool.
One thing I do with souvenir spoons is cut the handle 2cm above the bowl, flatten the bowl, bend the handle around make a bail. This makes it a pendant or a zipper pull.
The stoneware bottle is the star! Beautiful!
I would’ve picked up everything you did! Loved three spoons.
That Rawson bottle is exquisite! So special. Thank you for another wonderful journey along with you.
I love that brown bottle. Great video ladies.
I think you could drill a hole in center of the bottle stoppers and screw them either 2 together ( short ends in the center) or singly onto a piece of wood to make a coat rack.
Find and Create made a cool peg rack with some of those bottle stoppers! Might be a fun idea to try! :)
You can make a set of lights out of all the little bottles for your patio.
I love that idea.
You can never have to many bottles and buttons. 😄
Beautiful finds again I especially love the brown pot bottle xx
Happy Easter guys. I wonder if the lens are from Opera glasses 👓 ! Lovely finds , it keeps giving that local dump ! 🌸🐤🌷🌿🐥🥀🌹🌿🌸🌺
Maybe you could sell some of your bottles on Etsy or eBay. People do love to collect them.
That ceramic bottle is a beauty!
You're lucky to HAVE bottle dumps!!! Take every little bottle you can find!!! My favorite thing is when you fill them with small sea glass!!! Perfect for your shop!!!😆I'm in the US (Minnesota) l don't know why but there isn't much to buy on your sight?!
The sixties dump discoveries are just delightful! Please pick up more of those. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Loved the history behind the stoneware bottle. Wonderful find. Thank you for a great video!
Thank you. Love that Rawson’s bottle.
The bottle stoppers would be fun to stamp. The patterns on the tops are neat.
Your videos are so enjoyable! I love antiques, and I wish we had dumps like this to explore in nyc. But the island is so developed. I live vicariously throu your adventures!!♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful green bottles and a bunch of other cool finds. Just love your videos. Awesome stone bottle very pretty. Can't wait till your other videos Keep mudlarking and dump digging
Beautifully crafted as ever. Music lovely too very atmospheric. Happy Easter to you two xxx
Wonderful video Ladies, I hope you had a very Happy Easter. Thanks for making Sundays extra special.
Loved this video as always! History, treasure hunting, crafts, great music, nature, repurposing...all things I love!
I love the Blue and Green bottles!!! Would love to have some. I don't know why but I would.
Hearing your laughter and joy makes me happy.....x keep it up....x
Sitting at home with Covid watching your videos, thank goodness for your videos 😊 I’m enjoying them immensely and am living vicariously through you. ❤️
Thanks for watching! Hope you get well soon xx
Thank you both for making this !
Lovely to see the spring flowers as we still have a couple feet of snow on the ground. The stoneware bottle is beautiful. An idea for some of your bottle stoppers would be to make a trivet. You could take a piece of wood, drill holes to have a small well for the ends and glue them in, close together where they are touching. Then use to put your hot pots on at the table. It would be an interesting bit of history, with all the different styles, and functional too. I also wonder if they would be storn enoug to be used as drawer pulls or glued into a piece of wood for coat/key hooks?
The lid with the holes my be for a water bottle used while ironing.
That ceramic bottle is sooooo lovely. What a nice find. Lots of nice finds really! But the bottle tops it for me. 💚
You could take a piece of wood and drill big holes in them to display the bottle stoppers as wall art!
I love the videos, places like this are hard to find in the states.
Wonderful video, as usual! 💜
I think the small orange thing is a doll pacifier. They were a common accessory for baby dolls.
I'd have to take every tiny bottle there, so you do well leaving some of them behind ! You are both so very practical. I admire that.
I don't know if it matters but the terracotta bits are really good for potted plants. They're lighter than stone and let air and water move through the soil for drainage so the roots don't rot.
Sandy - thats a great idea...I TOO was at the comment area and was going to make a suggestion also...Sort through your bottles and take the ones that aren't as "complete - have nicks,etc." and drill a hole through the neck to hang as wind chimes...and I know that "strong winds" will cause brittle bottles to break, but they would look neat hung at different levels for a "sun reflecting" item....the small ones would make such a pretty hanging..I'm not doing a door hanging of "strung glass beads" each strand is 5 feet long and I need 20 strands"...NOT OLD beads like the ones you have, no, not at all...but will be pretty with the sun reflecting through them...Enjoy your videos so much...look forward to them. Thank you for your time to entertain us all...blessings and prayers for you and your family. Judy in VA
You cleaned up those bottles beautifully. Am sure many viewers would be interested to know and see how you do it so well.
northern mudlarks and a glass of wine beside me only on easter!
btw I bought a whole load of antique marbles last Saturday the second half of the batch i bought last time making the count at about a 1000 marbles!
Ooh, wonderful! xx
Amazing as usual. X
That brown piece of pottery with a hole in the side you found Gale is to pour the spit out, it's a spittoon. Possibly Bennington Pottery.
Two years ago! I had already watched this but enjoyed it just as much this time! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤
Happy Easter 💛
Great outing Gail & Alex. The stoneware bottle is absolutely stunning!! Did you manage fixing the first version you found Gail? Perhaps the lens could be from a door peak hole? The bottles against the window are so lovely, a ocean inside a bottle for sure!! Happy Easter & Stay safe :))
Oh my goodness, I have not seen you two in so long, I thought your account got canceled! I am so glad it wasn't! I'm Happy that I found you again!
We haven't gone away - still putting a video out every week =) If you subscribe to our channel (it's free) we will show up on your side bar. Also if you click the bell icon you will be informed when we put up a new video xx
Hoppy Easter 🐇💨
Great fines. Gail I give you permission to take home as many bottles as you wish.😉
Thank you ladies, always a pleasure to receive your video.
Sorry I've missed alot but I love watching. keep up the good work.
Maybe someone already commented on this. The brown pottery piece with the round hole on the side was a spitoon.
Happy Easter from the U.S.
Good way to end my night! Blessings to the both of yous 🙌🏼
Truly love your parents, today was nice.
did u mean peahens?
Lol yes
So anxious for your video each week & never disappointed! 🥰
Thank you! x
Totally agree
Love that bottle!!!! Never seen one like that down here. Fab finds as always. Can you do more crafts soon pleeeeeease? Soooo soothing to watch and clever x p.s. I’ve made some coat racks with driftwood and vulcanised stoppers. They’re not bad, but I expect you two could do better with your crafting skills xx
Happy easter to you both.
like many others have said, selling the little bottles so others can buy them would be amazing. Especially for those who don't have access to older dumpsites like me (I live in Australia)
Totally agree
Lovely!
Another great hunt ladies! Some great history & research work! Thanks again & be safe out there!
Sorry, haven't checked to see if anyone else has suggested it but the little eye piece with the two lenses could be what I've seen jewellers look at gems closely with. I've also seen editors check photos with something like this.
It would be neat to make it into a pendant on a chain and use it so you could see items magnified 🔍
Dear lovely Northern Mudlarking Ladies.
👍👌👏 Nice, interesting finds and a great video again and as always. Congrats! Please kindly allow me a suggestion (I already wanted to do this a long time ago): Simply fill the beautiful little/tiny clear glass bottles with small pieces of seaglass or even shattered glass and sell them. With only 1 colour and/or colorful fillings. You can seal the bottles or simply put in a stork copper (cork stopper). Glass beads or copper/brass pieces would also look gorgeous in those tiny, old bottles. If you do so you would additionally never ever have to excuse yourself for taking tiny bottles at home. ;-) By the way: I love them too, especially the green ones (because I love nearly everything that is green).
As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health.
Thank you so much for the lovely suggestions! xx
Thank you girls you really helped me out your video was so relaxing and chill. Peace Julie
