#THEFINDERS #MUDLARKING
Someone kindly told us in the comments that the tiny object I found with the two hearts is actually a Charles-II And Catherine Of Braganza wedding Commemorative Button (or cuff link) from 1662. Which I think is amazing! That is why I love the Thames so much, you just never know what you may find!
Some 400 grit (minimum) wet/dry sandpaper. Keep object/paper wet when working it for safety reasons (to avoid silicosis) if you research stone polishing the same applies to glass
Wow! That is very significant find! There are no words to exspress how awesome of a find this is!
“The Muff is really keeping out the wind today” epic sentence 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 😘
You could tumble Kate's bit of marble/glass thingy. It would come out looking brand new.
Thank you, thats a good idea! I think we're going to try tumbling it after trying some of the other suggestions! Hopefully all of them combined will make it look amazing K&C x
Love the pipe Kate found and just love the pottery pieces
You could make great jewelry with them!!
I am a treasure hunter love the thrill of the hunt!!
Thank you! I'm playing around with making some jewelry (obviously nothing like the beautiful pieces that the Northern Mudlarks make) but it's fun to think of different things I can do with the things I find, Kate x
It's always a pleasure with you folks letting us grub along with you. A deluxe lot of finds this time. Love Kate's glass mystery lump and, of course, I ever appreciate Sunny's able assistance in reviewing your haul.
Sunny Cat is very funny in the way he always has to be involved, bless him :)
I really enjoyed watching you all as you mudlarked the day. Props to the photo bombing cat for giving me a smile.
Thank you, Sunny the cat says thank you too!
Looks like you had a really great day on the Thames. Nice finds. And your kitty. YOUR KITTY!! Squeee! What a sweetie and purr factory. Black cats are awesome.
Thank you! We are very lucky to have him, he really is very sweet, only downside to the purring is that it comes with some quite loud snoring too, haha K&C x
The wind had my ears throbbing. Your kitty is happy with your finds. The bits of china would make a lovely mosaic. Thank you for sharing your hunt.
It is a pretty horrible stormy windy day here today, it would definitely make your ears throb!!! :)
Sunny exudes gratitude with every part of his being, forever thankful you adopted him with so much patience and love. Nice lark ladies.
Lovely finds
Thank you for braving the wind. Xx 🇮🇲
Thank you! The finds were definitely worth the slight numbness of our ears by the end of it! haha K&C x
Piece with the two hearts . CUFFLINKS OR BUTTONS,KING CHARLES ll & CATHERINE of Braganza
Oh wow I just googled it, you are completely correct that is amazing. What a shame it is broken! Thank you very very much!!
Well done on your amazing finds, you had such a rewarding day. Also absolutely love Sonny, he's such a star 😀😀. Maybe you need to change your name to ' Kit (Cat) and caboodlers.😆. Thanks for another great vid.
Thank you! He definitely knows how to steal the show, haha, we're very lucky to have him K&C x
Thank u so much for your downloads and please don't stop sunny's purrrfect comments on the roundups😻
Thank you! Sunny will always try his very best to be in our films haha :)
First time here and I absolutely loved it.
You have a new sub : )
Blessings from the Netherlands
Thank you very much I am very glad you enjoyed :)
You're my favorite Mudlarkers!
Wow! Thank you!
Enjoyable watch ..well done
Thank you very much :)
I love your videos and seeing your finds. I just spent 3 Days on beaches around Ullapool, Gairloch and Poolewe in the West Highlands. I found nothing save shells, sand, pebbles and seaweed. I said this to the Northern Mudlarks too...laying aside the history and wondrous stories of past lives, you are basically raking over centuries of pollution.
Thank you! I just googled some of the beaches you mentioned, and they are stunning! Must have been a lovely 3 days, even if there wasn't much to be found. We often reflect on the fact that we are just rifling through people's old rubbish... K&C x
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers Hi and thank you for replying. I only live about 2 hours from those places, on the east side of Inverness by the Moray Firth. I have stunning beaches near me there, too. Findhorn, Roseisle, Hopeman, Lossiemouth. There are a lot of interesting shells and driftwood, but little in the way of historical finds. There are, however, a few fortifications left from WW2. The beaches in Moray were used to practice for D Day. It may be rubbish, but let's be thankful, because without it we would not have such a wonderful insight into those past lives and times.
@@britishreaction54 Well we're extremely jealous! There was rarely a weekend when I was little that we weren't at a beach, come rain or shine, which is probably why being at a beach is my favourite place to be...
Wow! Moray sounds like an interesting place to visit!
You're so right! It's amazing to think that the people who tossed away this stuff, years and years ago, had no idea that their descendants were going to be so fascinated by it, and how much joy their "rubbish" was going to bring in the future! Kate x
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers Sounds like you had a great upbringing. I think you and your family would enjoy it here, it's beautiful in all seasons, but especially summer. I enjoy your videos a lot and I hope you carry on filming your outings for a long time to come.
Oh! I want to come and visit, and go mudlarking with you!!!!
Love the kitty purring! 🤗
I'm only 2 mins in and love the video already. It's 1am here atm and I'm quite happy to stay up watching this goodness.
Thank you for staying up and watching our video :)
Always enjoy the adventures, look forward for more!!😁 Would love to come over to mudlark for claypipes.
Till next Hello from Ohio USA
Thank you! It is a secret but we have a clay pipe give away in our Valentines special sshhh :)
Thames River!!!!!!! I was so excited to see you all there. My heart set off to racing in hopes of a pipe find. I am very happy to see you all find things you are happy to have. Even the cat is happy 😃 .... I really enjoyed watching this video...
It’s going to be a wonderful day.
Thank you! The Thames is always exciting as you never know what is going to turn up. Sunny cat is always happy unless he is asleep (which he pretty much is all the time haha)
As bad as weather is it's also a blessing cause storms are earths way to reveal new treasures relics history to those brave enough to venture out in them or first to hit beaches wen pass. It's all cycle of life so storms bad weather has its advantages too cheers thanks many regards from Ireland.👍☘🇮🇪Godbless🙏
We are really excited to do some beachcombing after this storm!! :)
All very amazing finds guys just finished watching with my 4 year old daughter she absolutely love’s watching use find all theses little goodies thanks for shearing enjoyed watching 🙂🙂👍👍👍
Thank you! That's so sweet, say hello to your daughter from us, I imagine she is our youngest viewer, haha! K&C x
Mudlarking With Kit & Caboodlers 🙂👍
The CAT say, ist smells like sea. Oh.... so fine.👍😊🐈
Maybe that is it! :)
What a great video ladies and Oscar, lots of lovely treasures and family time. Keep doing it just this way. X
Thank you! we really enjoyed mudlarking here there were so many lovely things to find :)
Interesting finds. Great video. I'm glad I found your channel.
Thank you very much I`m glad you enjoyed our film :)
You all could use some large tweezers to help with the tiny items. It would be so much easier to get the smaller stuff. Thank you for sharing your family with us Fluer! Your kids are amazing and very polite, I like watching your videos!
P.s. I love the blue printed porcelain pieces, with scenery. I believe they would look amazing dremeled into the little round, square, or oval shaped as a pendent. Like a little photo of whatever picture or scenery that you can salvage just like a small porcelain picture on your neck. Its Just an idea but I am sure you clever ladies probably have all ready thought of it.
Thank you so much! I am thinking of things to do with the picture pottery pieces and that sounds like a lovely idea :)
Amazing hunt today. Some really nice finds. I love Kate's pipe. A Valentine's special...how cool I can't wait. I think Sunny wants his own show. LOL Love the coconut too.
Hello, thank you! I'm pleased with it too, my pipe collection is slowly but surely growing. We're quite excited about our valentines special, I hope you enjoy it! Sunny is definitely not afraid of the camera, haha K&C x
Congratulations on finding that 16th century pipe. I would love to have at least one for my collection. Thanks again for bringing us along.
I think Kate is getting her pipe eye in so to speak. In fact I think she is just getting better and better at mudlarking (I need to pick my game up haha) :)
Love from USA!!! I adore you guys!!! You are such a lovely family!!! I love hearing the excitement in Kate’s voice when she finds something!!!!
So glad you are heading back to Wapping because there are amazing finds. So many pins!! And garnets! 6:26 Maybe there was a coin standing on its edge against a rock.
Hello, we're keeping an eye on the tide times to see when we can go back! Ohhh, potentially, it's scary to think of all the things we could have missed! K& C x
Great site and wonderfully, interesting finds! We may get to the Thames one day! Love the marble-ish thing and very intrigued as to what Kate found and not showing! xx
If you are ever this way we would love to take you to some good spots on the Thames. The secret thing Kate found is probably our best find ever to be honest (which makes me a bit jealous haha) :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers I'm jealous already and I don't even know what it is! Haha! xx
Wonderful finds and lovely video!!! 👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you very much :)
How exciting what a lovely mud lark back in the Thames
Some great finds. 😆😂🌈xxx 🇮🇲
VERY INTERESTING FINDS. PS I love Sunny cat! And I trust opinion!
Thank you, Sunny says thank you too! :)
Hello everyone! Nice to see you again! An adventure on the legendary Thames, wicked! I remember that pirates tale. Gives me the willy's.
Hello! Oscar wasn't too sure about the pirate stories either, haha K&C x
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers hey good news I found a bottle dump in my area I can finally do some larking videos. Does it still count as larking even tho I'm nowhere near the Thames?
Great little treasure hunt guys, thank you sharing with us. That little piece of glass with the mystery hidden inside is enigmatic - do let us know if you find out what it is. As always, magnificent final presentation work from our furry friend! Thank you.
Thank you! Kate is working on the glass blob we will see haha :)
Them steps looked so slippery we cant wait you get on the Thames . Fab video
Thank you! The slippery steps are scary, it is like stepping into another world though :)
The cat loves to see what you've brought back.. love all the blue and white pottery finds today. I don't understand what slag is...never heard of it
Thank you! Here is the definition of slag from the dictionary (it explains it better than me) Slag is the glass-like by-product left over after a desired metal has been separated (i.e., smelted) from its raw ore. It comes in green, blue or sometimes black :)
Omg what a lover of a kitty🥰
Love your videos. I feel like I'm on an adventure right there with you. Keep up the wonderful videos.
Het was weer een super glimps in jullie mudlark!
Thank you :)
I loved this one! I always enjoy your adventures but this reminded me of when I lived in London and your little finds were a joy!! I also love seeing your beloved and affectionate cat during your round up!! What a sweetheart!
Thank you, Wapping is definitely a favourite spot for us. Sunny is gorgeous but he does dribble a lot haha :)
great video! i love your finds especialy the studds and the pipe! I cant wait for the valentines special! :)
Thank you! The Valentines special is coming soon :)
This was absolutely wonderful, thank you.☮️🇨🇦
Thank you it was one of our favourite Thames mudlarks :)
Try oil to see it clearer. If it is a colored sulfide marble with a face, you have a wonderful gift there! Congratulations, even if it isn't one, you have a special day to remember at any rate!!
The oil will clear up a bit of the view. If I can make a suggestion, get a digital magnifier. They are cheap and can be found easily. The handheld ones with a USB port are fantastically small, like much of what you two find!
Most interesting finds! I do love the medieval studs, the pipe, and the musket ball. And the pins and pottery! Dear me, I love it all!😊 Please do let us know about Kate's "face in the glass," and stay safe in this weather!💖
Thank you! We were really happy with our finds that day. the best is yet to come though in our Valentines special!! :)
Lovely video and finds and Ladies ofc hole family
Thank you :)
Bonjour super vidéo love 🍀🍀🤗🙋♀️🇨🇭
Thank you very much :)
Your cat is smart he or she come ever time show your thing he or she wants to see
What amazing great hunt and some very nice finds. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
Thank you!
Lovely finds! ..... well, maybe the coconut wasn't so lovely lol A great mudlark. The commemorative button was a brilliant find! Thanks for taking us along with you :)
Thank you, yeah Oscar really did not like the smell of the coconut haha :)
I love your voice especially when you get excited with a find
My like number 141. Hermoso lugar, hermoso vídeo y muy buenos hallazgos. Les mando harto sol desde el sur del mundo.
Thank you! We would definitely appreciate the sun at the moment, haha, K&C x
When you bring the camera close to pick up a find, my eyes naturally scan around at the other debris looking for treasure too!
It looks like a person could just sit still and look and look at all the small bits and pieces! So much to treasure hunt, over and over! Thanks again for bringing us along!
You could realistically spend hours scouring unfortunately you are always against the tide :)
I do the same thing and as a rock hound and flintknapper, the sight of all that flint really gets my blood pressure up!
My new genre of videos! I love everything about all of the larkers videos. Your family is so sweet and relaxing to watch! I have 5 kids and dream of larking in the Thames! Thank you!!!
Welcome to the mudlarking world :)
Very nice finds you guys!
You can use a very tiny bit of oil, to shine that bit of glass. I use a body oil to shine my river glass and it makes it smell nice too. 🤓 You literally need a tear drop for that.
Kate is at this very moment applying some oil. She is using Almond Oil as we don`t have any baby oil so I hope it works the same :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers I'm sure it will. Let me know how it goes. I'm intrigued to know what's in there myself.
Thank you for braving the elements , and you found some interesting things, love the pipes and the musket ball, it's really rough on our coast in the north today, thanks again for sharing your adventures and sunny xx
It is pretty rough here too. My garden is definitely taking a battering :(
To make that bead thing shiny...... I saw one fellow who was digging bottles spray painted the bottles with clear varnish to get rid of the scratches. It made the bottles nice and shiny. Just a thought.
We'll definitely give that a go, thank you! I'm just so curious to see the inside! Kate x
What interesting finds, and so tiny. I would have had to be dragged away as well! Just an idea, perhaps the “figure” in the marble like glass thing is sand or soil that has entered in thru the hole and collected there. If so, maybe you could dislodge it with a strong fishing line or some other tiny stiff instrument and clear water. That’s just what I saw when you held it up to the light. And I just adore Sonny the cat! His purr makes me smile and he definitely wants to be part of what you are doing! He strikes me as a hearth cat, not an adventurer though. Thanks for the trip and I can’t wait till Valentines!
Thank you! We're already watching the tide times to see when we can go back! I have tried cleaning it out with a pin, but so far no luck, I will definitely put an update in a later video once I figure out what it is, haha! He is most definitely a hearth cat, but he had quite a difficult start to life, so I think he is just very content to have a warm place to sleep, tasty food and all the cuddles he wants! K&C x
Maybe we could have a brief history of Sunny's origins sometime in the future?
Nice finds! The stone you pick up at 2:38 and say it might tumble nicely is likely a piece of flint. There are two small round stones near the piece you picked up, one is black and the other is a brownish color. They are nodules of flint, the larger ones I call eggs and the small ones I call beans. They are often a beautiful caramel color on the inside.
I really have to research more in to stones!!
Sunny definitely is trying to tell you what things are. Lol
I often wonder what he would say about all these weird things we bring home if he could talk, haha K&C x
Enjoyed the video and all the great pieces you two found. There is so much there you could spend a lifetime searching and never see it all. Thanks for sharing.
I just came upon your video and really enjoyed it. I find mudlarking videos really relaxing to watch. And, I love how your cat kept trying to join in be involved at the end. Lol. I subscribed to your channel.
Thank you! Sunny cat really likes to be the centre of attention :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers You're welcome. I'm looking forward to your Valentine's Day video!
I’d love to collect pottery and do a floor! Hmmmm? You’ve got me thinking!
It would look amazing wouldn't it?!?! We're quite far off from making any sort of mosaic at the moment though, haha K&C x
Mudlarking With Kit & Caboodlers it will be amazing! I know you’ll get enough to get a project done for sure! Luv from Canada! Enjoy your channel very much!
love the finds, especially the musket ball and the medieval studs as they are ornate and small so well done for find them :0) one trick for glass is using a clear lacquer and the thing inside could be gunk that's accumulated over the years :0) thank you for showing us the finds :0)
Thank you! Kate is convinced there is a face in the glass so she is going to try everything to find out haha :)
no probs, happy to help :0) with the clear lacquer you just spray it on and it should be a lot clearer and it would be super to find a face as that would be very unique :0) you'll have to let us all know how it goes :0)
@@robertmartyr2041 If Kate finds a face in the glass there will be no stopping her showing everyone haha :)
well being honest i wouldn't blame kate for doing that as it would be a very unique and amazing thing to see especially in glass as i've never heard nor seen anything like that at all :0) good luck and I hope it is a face :0) thank you for replying to my comments :0)
I’ve used the non-word “blopped” many times, usually to describe how my cat used to just flop on the bed, and her nickname was Boots so “flopped” became “blopped” 😂
I wonder if you called a glass blowing studio and asked them about the glass with the face in it, they might have some ideas or even help you to polish the glass so you can see inside. Just a thought. I loved how the cat was the official mudlark finds inspector. Everyone should have one.
Oooh! If we can't manage to clean it ourselves, we will definitely give that a go! Sunny enjoys our finds just as much as we do at this point, haha :)
Hi ladies and Oscar, I hope you're all hunkered down and safe from this storm today, I've just lost my front and back fence and it's getting worse out there. I'm so jealous of your beach combing prospects along the South coast after this weather passes through, there should be finds everywhere!
This was a lovely video and you've got a good spot there, I'm sure it will keep producing finds for years to come.
Stay safe please and big hugs, Louie Xx
The storm is raging outside and my garden is definitely getting a battering but as you say I am quite excited about what this storm is going to churn up, finds wise! :)
So awesome 💪💪 go deeper into the ground looks like a very awesome place to keep looking for relics treasure sweet lol I do panning myself so it's exciting to just explore and find anything is awesome
I`m hoping the bad storm we have had here will have churned things up for when we return :)
The Northern Mudlarks recommended you, and I am so very glad that they did. You are very enjoyable to watch. I’m now a new subscriber.
Hello! Welcome, and thank you for watching our video! :)
Haha! That cats so funny
That ending was too funny
Try rubbing abit of baby oil on the glass, it should become clear 👍
Thank you! I will have to get some for all my bottles as well. I wonder if there is actually something in Kates blob of glass? :)
Mudlarking With Kit & Caboodlers Did you ever discover what it was?
Marvelous !
Thank you! :)
Sonny was biting your finger nail. So funny.
Hi you guy’s.Love,Love to watch all the videos that you give us.It’s so exciting to watch you guy’s find such incredible treasures.The only thing is-why doesn’t Kate have her own tool?😽It’s so exciting when you find something and you never have a tool to dig it out.😻🐈👍
I`m not sure she just uses mine haha :)
I like your charm and passion for mudlarking
As a fellow larker, I'll be there soon on the foreshore
Thank you.
Best of luck! Thank you :)
Repolish glass with wet and dry sandpaper 👍🏻
Thank you! I will let Kate know she is desperate to know what is inside :)
So much history just sitting there
Oh!! You should get a stone tumbler for clealning too~
very cool video.. loads found.
Thanks 👍
Si first uses clear Lacquer which is in a spray can to make his bottles shine.
Oooh! We'll definitely have to give that a go! Thank you! K&C x
That wonky marble e we pull make a cute pendant
I love your music you use 💚🎵🎶🎧
Thank you that is one of the funnest parts (apart from the mudlarking) :)
So that's where all the missing forks and spoons go. I have one fork left in my cutlery draw. I've looked everywhere, its mind boggling, but now I finally have the answer. 🤔😆
Olá um abraço do Brasil Valeu amigo
Thank you :)
love the video
Thank you we enjoyed making it :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers It is all very good :-)
Industrial and Steampunk when you run out of Ideas for your Etsy shop ladies. Also, the smalls hide under stones. The other end is where you should go it's a lot less dangerous, no ruble to have to walk over. The Thames brings in new stuff all the time. I wish I could be there with you guys so badly. I like to think that bottle top with the cork in it was a christening maybe of a ship. Isn't that what they do the Qween smashes a bottle of Champagne into a new ship or something like that or somebody takes their sword and chops off the top of the Champagne bottle, BC its very very old. Very cool. tumble that little clear ball then we can see what's inside. It will take a long time to get it smooth. Tiny ruby.
Put the glass marble thing in your rock tumbler with a very fine grit.
The other mudlarkers I watch use spray clear varnish on glass to get rid of the opaque look, wondering if it would work on your marble!
Use oil to get the frosty seaglass clear without having it in water. I know some use normal oil when they are taking picture so that you can see the “real” colour instead of the frostyness
Kate is applying some oil as I type this so we shall see haha :)
Hi Sunny 😻😻
Sunny says hello! x
Hi Kit and Co. I've just found my new favourite channel!
For some reason I'm thinking that the 'marble' could possibly be a stopper for a small perfume bottle which has been eroded?
Hello! Wow, thank you and we're glad you enjoyed it! You could be right! It really is a mystery object, hopefully one day we'll know for certainty, but I think it's more likely that it will remain a mystery, haha :)
love to rock hunt ty
Don't know what it is, but some false teeth cleaners work well to clean many old glass and porcelain finds. Also a soak in some regular ol' baking soda may do the trick.
Come further along and see huge boulders of slag glass from the bomb factory that went up in the war
Wow we will definitely do that! I think Wapping is my favourite place to mudlark so far but we have lots of other places to try too :)
Maybe the glass object is part of a perfume bottle top? Or maybe it's part of a pontel mark from a hand blown glass item. Very interesting.
You could be right! I'm still trying all of the suggestions to clean it! :)
Use Flashlight to shine through marble .
