I'm from Australia and would love to know where this is? The old church, the late with 1729 on it ect... id love to look into the history of the area 🧡
@@LindaPatton1980 hiya Linda. The building in the film was originally(1800s) a steam driven saw mill then it was an iron, foundry. The church tower you see isn't physically conected. That's Saint Michaels church. That has burned down twice. After the last fire in the 1980s it was refurbished and opened again about 20 years ago. During the restoration some viking artifacts were discovered. Workington is known for its annual football games. Uppies and downies. A specially made ball is thrown from a small bridge further up this mill stream and the young men from the town try to get the ball to their goal. Downies are from this area, associated with sailing and fishing and the Uppies are from the other end of town and more associated with the miners and steel workers. I'm sure you could find video of the easter games on you tube. We play 3 times every year at easter. Do you have local links Linda as there are Pattons in Workington.
Don't ever think that we all switch off when you get into the history of an object- we love it! Well I do and I am sure others do too. Another fascinating video - thank you.
Your dedication is very admirable. Not only did you drive all that way to mudlark in the dark, I could see your hands getting red from the cold water, then you have to drive all the way home. You must be exhausted. It is a labor of love for sure and much appreciated by all of your fans and viewers!
just a thought on lock down. you could do a show on your family farm . i would enjoy the history of it. when was it built ? and by whom? how long have your family been there etc. i think many of your followers would be interested as well.stay safe ladies and thanks for your always upbeat and interesting adventures. best wishes from new hampshire USA.
@@LanMysPage It's really NOT that big of a deal. It's easy enough to find someone's address if anyone REALLY wants to, and it's easy enough to film a house without giving away its location.
The river that runs through my town was known in the early 1900s for being a source of mother of pearl for buttons! I was inspired by you two to explore the banks and sure enough I found pieces of mother of pearl! Im excited to try turning some of it into buttons
That’s exactly what I was going to suggest! I have made several over the years for our Christmas trees. I use vintage heavier crochet thread and knot them on at various intervals. I love them! And, may I ask, what are your “usual” cleaning ingredients for your bottles, especially??
This mudlark adventure was the most fun! The Reeves name on the paint pot is part of my family history. Originally spelled Ryves , the ancestors lived in Dorset and the family crest has the Greyhound dog on it!
When you went to the Co-op, you would get a small pink strip of paper representing a (small) percentage of what you spent. This you would take home, you would then lick the back and stick it to a gummed sheet. When your sheet was full, you would take it to the Co-op and someone would tally up your dividend (divvy) which you would get paid in cash. Very exciting. This was pre-supermarkets and would buy butter, cheese, ham etc loose across a marble counter. They would wrap it up in greaseproof paper and pop it in your basket - at least my granny would. So it was cooperative in many sense of the word.
The finding of everything is interesting, but I really like the history behind some of the finds and how they relate and bring to life a part of the past that normally remains hidden to many of us.
Ranee, I Love your idea so much, It would be reminiscent of jigsaw puzzle or paint by numbers painting, possibly even a Monet (button masterpiece) The buttons that broke in half while cleaning, could be used to frame it. Super Cool idea! : )
The history of the cWs bottle stopper and Gibbs toothpaste was really interesting, and also the school paint pot. It's surprising what information you can find. Thank you for that and a nice poem
It may just be me, but I find the history that you guys give on the things you find extremely interesting! I'm a history buff myself, and being from the US, we don't have near the repertoire of historic items to find that you guys do. So I greatly enjoy seeing the things you find, and am very grateful for the history that you share. It's important not to lose it!
Make very small diamond, round, rectangle, and heart shaped pillows and sew the buttons on the front using bright threads. Have lace or frill at the edges. Those would be cute. You may not be mudlarking with the shutdown, but you have plenty of metals and glass to do DIY art and hobby project videos. Show us your recycle crafts!!❤️
Between the stress of grad school, my mom going through cancer, and the normal COVID/2020 madness, I cannot thank you enough for making videos. I find your videos so calming, they help so much, thank you.
Could almost feel the cold when you put your hands in the water... glad you were well rewarded for your work! Beautiful video too, love the stories behind the finds. Stay safe warm and dry.
Oh my Gail☺️, another absolutely stunning Christmas ornament 🙌🏻. Such treasures for your future family to hand down generation to generation. Hand made glass beads and mudlarked pieces of sea/river glass turned lovingly into treasured ornaments. Simply lovely 😍. 👋🏻 Hello Shwoo Sisters 🤭😘. 🕉️☮️Be safe and healthy during your lockdown.
I’ve worked at a food co-op for 27 years, I’m a cheese monger and buyer. It’s a terrific place to work. I love my job! Thank you for another lovely mud lark!
Make button flowers using layers of different colored buttons and wire (18-22 gauge) , then put them in your tiny bottles to display them. I also use reclaimed single earrings, broken brooches and bits and pieces to create one of a kind bouquets. Have fun. Your videos always make us smile.
I really enjoy watching your videos, thanks for sharing your adventures. The night time footage was amazing. Thanks for sharing the bits of history attached to the name or item, I appreciate learning and understanding new things. I love the star with your glass beads...just beautiful. Stay safe and have a blessed day.
I have made pictures using my Grandmother's antique buttons {like the heart shape you have them in on table) I have also seen shadow boxes with dividers filled with buttons sorted by color. Thanks for going out looking like "weeders" and sharing. Beautiful star of awesome beads.
My favorite things about your videos... The adventure of finding things. Giving the history that is found about the items found. The footage of the landscape... #Beautiful & The amazing Ma & Daughter healthy relationship bond that is shared... Thank you for sharing... 🤟🤗
That was amazing. Also I literally laughed out loud when she said “Mom and I look like a couple of Creeps”.LoL absolutely loved this. Here in Ohio there’s a woman who made button art and framed it, you might be able to look that up. It would be the Werther Museum in Ohio, not sure if the city is Dover,Ohio? I would live the star ⭐️
Oh, I love stars and beads and shiny metal! And BUTTONS! I have loads of buttons. And only occasionally do I have a purpose for them. I have strung them on elastic cord for bracelets. Or you could pick pretty ones to act as charms on a charm bracelet. Flower shaped or pretty colors could act as flowers on an little embroidery or quilted pieced wall art. Stitch a heart shape, stuff it, and sew red or pink ones on the front for a fun Valentine's day decoration. Of course the could be ornaments on a felt Christmas tree or a Styrofoam tree. Great craft resource for kids. And who doesn't love just sitting and sorting them on a gloomy day? sort them into some of your jars.
I think the silver thing may be a broken absinthe spoon. They were flat and were placed over a glass and absinthe was poured over a sugar cube on the “spoon”.
I love watching your many adventures and the crafts you make from your findings. The star is so cute. Your Christmas tree is going to be very special this year! I’m watching you from my mountain town of Tollhouse California in the USA. THANK YOU LADIES
You two are absolutely priceless! What an unusual adventure! I lovvveeedf it! Keep being creative and taking us along! Tu Gail for the beautiful star decorated with your own beads... Be safe enjoy your time and family! Look forward to the next adventure❌❌🇨🇦❄️
Hi Gail & Alex, Thanks for including the social history and people behind the finds. As you say it what makes this very engaging and cool. Cheers Wendy
You had a good nights adventure finding so many buttons. Was good to see the eel swimming and was so quick. Love the Christmas decoration Gail made, was beautiful with your home made beads and so clever. Thank you and keep safe
Absolutely loved this! Well, I love them all, but muddarking gives it such a different feel and made the finds seem even more miraculous. Talking to invertebrates is something I do too so Alex greeting the worm made me very happy :) . I absolutely loved the poem by William Gibbs and shall try to find more of it. Very atmospheric. Thank you so much!
The Christmas ornament that Gail made is gorgeous!😍 My compliment for the music you've used! It was spot on. Thank goodness there is only a partial lock down here in the Netherlands. Pubs and restaurants are closed, and we can have only 2 visitors a day. But all the stores are open, there is only an obligation to wear a face mask and stay 1,5 meters a part from each other. We may go outside as much as we want, no restrictions for that. Stay safe and healthy everybody!❤
Wow, what a huge amount of buttons, and the brown jar is beautiful and the beads too. Stay safe and well while in lockdown again. Love and best wishes to you and your family 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟
I just subscribed to your channel, and I really enjoy it. Not only do I enjoy the Mom/Daughter connection, but I also enjoy your finds, and the perfect shots of nature and animals. They are all good for my soul. Thank you.
@@NorthernMudlarks Awwwwww tysm!! Btw you inspired me to take up beach combing myself! My family think I'm a bit weird but I'm really enjoying it... thanks 🙂
That's a really great idea Tracy. I remember a lady I took care of had a Christmas tree made out of nice green fabric mounted on a white piece of fabric framed and had costume jewelry as the ornaments sewn on there that would look awesome with buttons too!
I’m pretty young and last year we made bottle cap Christmas trees. We bought some nice fabric and glued them to the bottle caps. Then we arranged them into a Christmas trees to use as a decoration! :)
I’ve never been more envious of one of your finds than those gorgeous ceramic watercolour pans! 😋 I bet you have others in your collection, PLEASE show them sometime? I’d so love to find one, they are rare even now. So much nicer to paint from than plastic. Sigh!
Mudlarking at night! It had to be cold. Now that's dedication. I'm curious as to why so many buttons are present in River Derwent. Some interesting finds. Love to hear the historical perspectives about your finds. Nice star! Thanks for a cool video Gail and Alex.
You can make lovely, simple earrings from all the buttons. For years, I’ve work various old buttons threaded onto little hoops. You are talented jewelry makers I know you could make gorgeous hoops or fish hooks that would be so cool with the little buttons.
My youngest daughter and I like to mudlark in the Conocogeague creek in Franklin County, Pennsylvania USA. It's so nice to see another mum and daughter having fun doing it over in England and Scotland. Now I want to go to Scotland to mudlark on the beach.
Nice. Nightlarking suits you guys very well. Very immersive footage, it feels as if I could get my fingers wet if I would go and touch my screen. Makes me yearn for Alba...
Love this video. I would have been in heaven with all those buttons. I like to use them in my jewelry and on my wool appliqué. That star is absolutely beautiful! What a lovely memory to have on your tree. A keepsake that showcases your river found wire and your lovely beads from recycled beach glass. Fabulous! Have a great week!
Great episode. The poetry set to music and video was stunning and we loved the decoration you made. As usual beautiful music and video throughout and some interesting finds.
Hello 🖐 I enjoyed the video.. History is awesome , I close my eyes and snuggle in to listen... BEAUTIFUL Beads and star. Stay safe and busy during lockdown...❤🙏
@46:37 I was stunned when Gail brought out that bowl of beads -- You ladies have been very busy making some lovely glass beads. Then when Alex said that she is a little bit obsessed with making them, I said 'Keep on making them. They are gorgeous." The star decoration turned out beautifully! That is going to be a lovely Mudlarking Tree, all decorated with Art.
I am watching from the Pacific Northwest USA. I am getting cold just watching you two in the river...in winter! I am enjoying watching though. Thank you!
So many little creatures. That little eel would have done me in. We used to go into the streams at night to look fir Spring Peepers...little froggies. So much fun. From USA.
There was a laundry just up stream. My mam worked there in the 50s. Their water must have came out into the mill race.
Oh, thanks for that! We thought there must have been something like that nearby. A lot of clothes must have gone home with missing buttons, lol! xx
@@NorthernMudlarks Maybe that's why Velcro was invented...too many people missing buttons!

This mudlark adventure was the most fun! The Reeves name on the paint pot is part of my family history.
Originally spelled Ryves , the ancestors lived in Dorset and the family crest has the Greyhound dog on it!
You could make a button quilt. Making a design of each block with your buttons.
Love the star! Came out wonderful..

If you have a lot of buttons you can make them into paintings. Like using them to make trees and a beach scene
