What are you going to do with it all ? Mosaic project in the offing ? :D
Yeah, eventually. I need to gather a bit more first...
Nice, look forward to that.... in your old garden you had a little stone bench that was mosaic on top and it had bits of pink pottery, it always caught my eye its so pretty !@@AtomicShrimp
THIS is the kind of stuff that makes your channel so beloved. Just a man and his wife, strolling on the beach, picking up bits of pottery and having a ball. These quiet, relaxing moments you share with us can make a miserable day just a bit brighter. Thank you Mike and Jenny!
❤ this ❤
Indeed.
Never in a million years could I imagine my parents doing something like this together.
This made me a bit teary. 😢
This is Humanity
Knowing that it was a trend in the early 20th century to put radioactive minerals in all kinds of products, I wonder if that might be an atomic shrimp paste bottle.
I see what ya did there... ;)
OOOHHHHH atomic shrimp paste ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Everybody has their own reasons to love this channel, but my favorites are:
1. How unapologetically he does everything he likes
2. He shows us beautiful places and activities. We can very well summarize this channel as "The beauty of calmness"
3. Mike is a positive masculine figure; resourceful and intelligent, but gentle and calm, he's not noisy, or aggressive
4. He provides actually useful advice; stabbing soft rolls with a knife has become part of my day-to-day arsenal
5. He teaches about sustainability and avoiding waste by living the way he lives, not by being preachy or judgemental
6. Eva is so cute!
7. Mike is genuinely funny and spontaneous
I would add his incredible English kind of humor - witty responses to scammers, ingenuity and being leniently spontaneous with videos, which is a welcome change.
I think the word " wholesome" is absolutely obliteratingly overused in the internet, but this really is it. The one word to describe this channel: wholesome.
The noise that the plastic bag made when you put the shards of pottery in it was translated by closed caption as 'applause'. Very appropriate.
Fun fact: pieces of pottery are called sherds, not shards. Why the distinction? No idea! It's just neat.
Jenny has some eye. I can’t get over how she spots those absolutely tiny pieces among the noise
That's an awful lot of alliteration from an amazing Anglo of advancing years; affable, agreeable, and abundantly amusing as he is. :)
Looks like Jenny is feeling more comfortable around the camera. Lovely to see it ❤
Yeah, but at @24:11 she looks like she is freezing like...🥶
Mind your health, Jenny - cheers!
I agree! Her feminine warmth is shining through ❤
Yes have noticed that also good on you Jenny 🙏
That alliteration at the beginning was superb! 👏😂
Absolutely amazing alliteration acknowledged and agreed...with...?
I'm going to show my age here. As soon as I heard that intro, I immediately thought of Leonard Sachs as the grandiloquent Master of Ceremonies, on the long running BBC TV show 'The Good Old Days'.
Perhaps some boiling water straight from the kettle could crack the frozen nodule.
Thanks - I will give that a try!
Your comment reminded me of Stardew Valley because you can hire the blacksmith to crack your frozen geodes, lol
23:51 The one with the plant that is almost in the middle would make a lovely pendant. Maybe banded in silver or something.
Such REALLY lovely pieces. Maybe make a mosaic outdoor plate or plaque/wall hanging, or cover something in mosaic for the garden, perhaps a concrete bench or something... That's been one of my pipe dreams for an embarrassingly long amount of time.
I see jenny is getting used to being the wife of a RUclipsr, and being more active (not sure if that’s the word I want, but I’ve just got up), it’s always nice to see jenny, even though she’s obviously out of her comfort zone, she’s doing better than I would do 😊
I always enjoy these "friendly spousal competitions"; Jenny is such a good sport, and seeing you share fun moments and silly endeavors is lovely. Cheers!
One of my favorite stories is how some archaeologists put together some beautiful ancient glassware from the smashed pieces meant for recycling that were in a shipwreck.That probably would have astonished the old merchants whose ship sank.That was a nice little glass jar,I'd be putting small picked flowers in it.
The obvious fight you had with yourself about looking for other things like glass and fossils made me smile. Great video as usual, many thanks.
The cliff erosion is astonishing. Such a short amount of time and so much 'lost'.
Hi Jenny and Mike and all of you in the comments! Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. I love these beachcombing videos. But then I love them all. Thanks Mike and Jenny!
I know I've said this before, but it's so good to see Jenny becoming more comfortable with getting involved in your videos and being on camera. You're a delight to watch, both of you!
Millions of years ago, well perhaps closer to 45, I found a cricket ball sized lump of something purple on the beach at Bridlington. Naturally we took it home and started rifling through encyclopaedias, remember books, kids? We found nothing of use so my mum took me to a local museum who identified it as amethyst. What the hell it was doing on the East Yorkshire coast is anyone's guess. They were quite interested and gave us what I loosely recall as a couple of quid for it. As far as I am aware it's still in the collection at Cartwright Hall in Bradford.
That’s cool.
I think we spent the rest of the summer holidays digging holes all over the back garden and the wasteland field out the back to no avail@@hattyburrow716
I hope, they at least put it on display. All too often, these kind of finds disappear somewhere in the archives of museums, never to be seen again by the public.
And what a treasure to give up as a child. When I was that age, back in the late 80s, my parents took us to the Italian alps one summer and we found some beautiful deep red garnets. I treasured all through my childhood and later had them cut and polished.
I can see a mosaic coming on another video with all those pieces of pottery
'But that's not what we're here for today. I'll leave that for someone else to discover' Your restraint is admirable, my man. I love mysterious, half buried objects like that 😅
It's true, one man's trash is another man's treasure. I'm at a loss of words for how pure this is. These kinds of videos really convey the feeling of a peaceful and observant walk on the beach. I'm from the south of Germany, and from here it's a 10 hour drive in any direction, before you reach any kind of coast. I love the sea so much, thank you for taking us there with you
But you have the beautiful alps instead! And it's just a short trip over to Italy. Not to shabby, geographically speaking.
🙋🏻♀️ from Cologne
I can't help you with the sea, but if you are interested in shards, go visit ploughed fields. Although they are not as diverse and modern as in the video.
@@aramisortsbottcher8201 I did this regularly in my childhood, actually! I found some beautiful geodes and fool's gold, from this, but I think I stopped because farmers don't appreciate it all too much if you go stomping on their freshly plowed fields? 🤔
That's a great idea, though, really takes me back. Maybe I'll pick it up again, just keep to the edges of the fields.
@@WardaMoram Oh yes, definetly stick to the edges. Also better for your shoes :)
And have fun!
Jenny is a lovely, patient woman. You are very lucky to have found her.
The artisans who made this stuff back in the day are smiling. 23:33
Have you tried just asking the fossil to come out? Maybe even tempt it with a bit of cheese? Sometimes it's the most simple things that nobody thinks of that work.
I have heard they’re fond of raclettte.
I was starting to worry I wasn't getting my Saturday morning Shrimp!
That wonderful flower piece could add another P- it would make a great pendant necklace.
A fun competition, we used to do something similar just with sea shells. but you only get to choose one as your prize piece. At the spot where you were looking at the insulator embedded in the beach, there was a large boulder of some sort of conglomerate that had a whole red brick imbedded in it then washed smooth. I think that was he best piece of the day! :-)
24:00 on the right, Blue/purple and orange iridescent stripes looks like Japan lusterware. I have a tea set of my grandmother’s. Popular from 1870s through 1950s.
I think I've seen those on etsy! lusterware is beautiful
I don't believe for a minute, that a man with your varied skills would need to call a plumber out
Maybe its more of a risk assessment, if anything goes wrong its the plumbers fault?
It's loads of fun to "talk shop" with a skilled person even if you don't really need their help...😂
Thank you for letting me come to the beach with you, not well at the moment so can’t go myself. Just want you and Jenny to know I appreciate what you do
I hope you feel better soon
Jenny smiling at the end 😊 she's so cute 😊
I thought she looked adorable! What a beautiful smile she has! ❤
When I used to buy jars of baby food (40 years ago) the first babyfood for the ages of 4 months, were this size. I still have one of these jars in which I store spice (too sentimental to throw it out after all this time!)
Thank you Jenny for sharing your fun with us!!❤
19:13 omg! that thing was _clear_ the entire time?!
Damn, that _was_ a lot of mud and soot.
23:51 I like that blue and yellow striped one in the upper right.
When I found it, It was completely filled with stinky grey mud
Some amusing moments in the subtitles today --- ''beach coma'' and ''freeze and Thor cycles'' 🤣
"Cold" (coal) dust. It was having a bit of trouble.
the freeze & Thor cycles really got me too! Interesting that even the captioning AI "heard" a dropped R where none was intended.
15:37
Looks like a piece if tin-glazed earthenware (also known as Delftware). You're not too far from Plymouth which was one of the major centres for making it in the 18th century.
I’m imagining a table or perhaps some stones in your garden with a top made from a mosaic of these pieces.
You could do an art collage with like pieces of pottery and paste them to a canvas, then have some homeade Victorian art. This video was very interesting, I appreciate your content, thank you for sharing, you and Jenny!!
Perhaps piles of perilous protruding precious patterned pottery pieces precariously positioned possibly to plummet promptly perchance post haste.
Fish paste jar?
NO, that's the official Atomic Shrimp paste jar!
Thank you, Mike and Jenny. I felt very zen after that, like when you were a kid and had just watched Fingerbobs or Bagpuss.
Some of the rusty metal scrap make me want to check when my last tetanus shot was. Most collectibles I tend to find here in Oz on beach is sea glass and coal. Once I found a hagstone which was a prized find. Seeing a beach with that much to comb through my inner magpie would take over and I would probably need a trolley.
I was there last week as my 2 year old wanted to go to the seaside (and Seaton doesn't really do it for me, despite it being our local beach) and I was quite surprised by the quantity of unworn down glass! Made me appreciate how long sea glass has been tumbled around for! As always, huge appreciation for your videos 🙂
Next video series: how to incorporate a Gaudí look in your garden.
I bet Jenny is fantastic at jigsaw puzzles. She has a very keen eye.
Today is a bright sunny day, and I think I will be working in the garden this morning. I am watching your video and thinking. " O! I could find a place for that in my garden!"
It's always nice to come home after a hard day at work and relax with an Atomic Shrimp video after dinner. 🤗
Never seen one of your videos so early before, day is off to a good start.
I think this is the first time we have seen Jenny directly, face on, in all her glory? What a beauty!! ❤
I can't imagine in 100 years anyone combing through our present landfill sites looking for things that look 'nice' 😂
Instead of clay pipes it will be plastic one use vapes!
They already do? Those TV shows show people in Asia living at dumps, sorting through Western "recycling"
@@BoBandits not sure they're looking for things that look nice though
This adventure prompted me to reexam a tin of pottery fragments -- mostly dinnerware from ships -- collected long ago* on the 12th Street Beach in Chicago. (*when there were still small aircraft landing on Meigs Field) You've inspired me to "do something" with them.
This was so relaxing to watch. Thank you, really appreciated it.
I went on my first "tip-lark" last week & its amazing what you can still find - managed to nab a lovely stoneware jug & some tiny blue poisons in near perfect condition. These old bottle dumps are everywhere!
I love the commentary on the results!
Very relaxing sitting home watching and enjoying. The clean up and photo presentation ensured that hunting you and Jenny did was very worthwhile.
Thanks to both of you for another video.
So lovely to see you both enjoying a fun day picking up pottery pieces! You teach us how to enjoy everything in life!
Thank you for the relaxing walk on the beach! ❤
This is just what I needed today, thank you for sharing these moments with us
huh that is very cool, thanks for the share sounds like a very fun time. We sort of have a similar idea here in Michigan in the UP after a big storm you can comb the beaches of lake superior for agates, stones and some old mine tools.
Its a Atomic Shrimp paste jar!
Brilliant video ❤ so relaxing
What a fantastic hobby! Love it!
I'm only 35, but find this guy fascinating. He's clearly an intelligent individual, yet makes videos about very simple things. Watching this channel grounds you, a great help in the information war we live in. Keep it up Shrimp, you may well be doing a great deed for society.
I haven't watched the video yet, but know its full of simple goodness.
That was some outstanding alliteration! 😂
I absolutely adore your channel, and the content you produce for us to see.
You are a bright shining star in the internet universe ❤
Thank you, Atomic Shrimp
The Alliteration in this video makes me so happy
So interesting! Love love love this
How charming. Thank you 💜
I'm a Jane Austin obsessed fan and like to spend my time reading the books, watching the films/series, and generally gossiping about it all with others in my JA clubs. I'm currently rereading "Persuasion," and if you know the story, the area where you are is part of a main turning point in the book. Love it when Worlds collide ...JA reference/joke if ya know, ya know 😂>
WONDERFUL video dear Mike ❤ In our family we used to make a frame out of wood, fill it with plaster and put the pottery pieces into it and make coasters and the like from it ❤❤❤ LOVE, HUGS,PEACE, GOD BLESS & STAY SAFE ❤❤❤
Awesome video, thank you.
Who won? We all did :) Thanks for the day out.
I wonder if you couldn't create something new out of the pottery, perhaps a few tiles so it could be re-used by you, ready for a new set of memories. I am sure other commenters will have brilliant uses, if you haven't already got something in mind.
Use it for a recycled craft project. Make a cement table with those bits in it.
Always a dub watching shrimp produce. ❤
Spent all my summer holidays in Lyme during the 60's, loved it 😊
I love these competitive games with Jenny. It’s always original and funny. I wonder how or who does decide to do these competitions. Which one of you brings it up? Has Jenny has a say in this?
Jenny has come up with a few of ideas for the specific challenges - berry picking and seaglass (and a couple we still have planned)
Oh, well done on your speech! I vote for a revival of "The Good Old days"!
i love mudlarking videos. also love the scale!
I imagine they did dump off the edge of the cliff. Landfill by definition starts at the bottom of a pit...
I know we're a little different in Canada, but I watch alot of Time Team... Even then, they filled pits, they didn't want to carry it up to dump it..
The landscape here is all hills and valleys; they dumped it in a hole on top of the headland. (We know this because it only comparatively recently began emerging from the eroding cliff face)
I love seeing jenny having fun with you in these!!!
I was at Lyme last February! what a wonderful time.
Applaud all amazing alliteration always
Of course you could collect nicely shaped plain pottery pieces & paint on them motifs inspired by the patterned pottery.
Perfection!❤
Ahhh one of my fav hobbies. Walking along the river here in Spain and collecting bits of ceramic etc
Greetings from ploughed german fields, in my area one can also find quarz cristals :D
I like the anthropology in this episode.
Curious if you have seen the mushroom hunting glasses. They are called fungeyes and it's supposed to make mushrooms stand out when you're on the hunt.
That sounds a bit like those pink glasses that were supposed to cure colourblindness
@@AtomicShrimp my thoughts exactly haha
Nice finds!
That intro was like one Robert Llewellyn would have delivered on Scrapheap Challenge.... and I guess this is a form of scrapheap challenge
Did you come up with the alliteration at the beginning of the video yourself? I was very amazed by this.
what you were considering the surgical scalpel handle I wonder if it is the old worn blade of a straight razor? It looks to have a hinge near the thin end where the scales might attach.
Woolworths a good few years ago used to sell Hedgerow dinner and tea sets maybe the piece Jenny found was from that,
I think you might be right. I searched and the manufacturer was named Meakin. On the fragment Jenny found, below the part that looks like it says 'hedgerow', there is 'ea' but the start and end of that word trails off the broken edges. It might be the 'ea' from 'Meakin'
@@AtomicShrimp Alfred Meakin was the manufacture
Using this information I've been able to match the fragment exactly to a specific design within that series. It was very satisfying and I might do a few of the other fragments and document this in a future video
@@AtomicShrimp that sounds very interesting .
Cool!! Make sure you update us if anything becomes interesting/exciting (or just generally thought-provoking)...
There's a glass dump at Fort Bragg in Northern California where people go to collect sea glass.
I have a curiousity question.
What do you do with the stuff you collect from beachcombing and the like? do you display it or store it away.
I do remember you did turn some seaglass into something a little while ago but i imagine you've got quite a collection of curios youve been lucky enough to find!
Next challenge is to make a plate from bits of found pottery
My money is always on Jenny. Okay, game on.
Hiya Jenny, hope that you are well! Good to see you as always❤
