The tools where from me Tom. You will never know how mutch you and your videos have meant to me over the last few months. Thank you so mutch Tom, Ady
Rad!
Thank you so much Ady. You were top of a very short list of people who I thought they might be from; you're the only person so far that's added extras. I'm glad my videos have meant a lot to you... and I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from the my future videos too. 🙂
The sound of trickling water, Lush plants, your music and your voice. Thanks for these things. I really helps me to cope with this rotten stressful world.
Those of us still in lockdown (age, etc.) are missing you, Tom Burleigh. I am hoping you are WELL.
I've never liked audiobooks, but I would listen if you narrated it. You have the most soothing, relaxing voice.
Ohhh Tom ..one of my dreams ...to roam the Yorkshire streams and woodlands.ohh how i wish i was there, maybe one day
34:45 ..!!! Jeepers lord Jesus Tom! My heart! I don't mind a deep growly voice but give a girl a bit of warning! I loudly squeaked and got quite embarrassed from that.. 😅
The sun shining through that blue glass bottle was stunning. ❤️
That was me who said you sounded different in the Johnson's video. Perhaps others did, too. I had to laugh when you suddenly produced your "gravely voice" for monsters. 👹
I love that OXO paste pot! What a shame about that hexagonal honey jar. It was lovely :) I think the big 'tea bag' is one of the soil holders that nurseries use to grow plants in. You can then plant them directly in the garden, but the bag never seems to decompose, so I have to take them out at the end of the season. Brilliant head find!!! I'd love to hear a complete video of yours in the gravelly voice. That would be such fun!!!!! Great video, as always :D
Ok, I’ll shout out “that copper kettle” ! No, go back for it, you were stepping all around it! 🤦🏼♀️ What a neat place to go picking up old treasures and bottles! Great gravelly voice, sounded just like an ogre! Happy hunting! ✌🏼❤️
You go to the most beautiful places to search for treasure! Thanks for taking us with you!
Thank you Tom .. your videos are relaxing for me .. with my husband being very sick it’s hard to get out for my usual walks.. so I come along with you .. enjoy the water sounds and you !! Thank you so much 😊
Wow so many tiny jars & bottles, those are cool to find. The eye catching pieces were the broken teapot, tiny rose patterned dish & old copper kettle. Most interesting find is the big piece with the rings. I bet that's going to look great all polished up. :) The (eye catching pieces) are 14:07 & 15:12 broken teapot, 14:26 rose patterned dish & 26:45 old copper kettle. When re watching so I could add time stamps I spotted something I didn't see on the first go. 25:40 glass vase. I'm gonna have to watch some more to see what else I missed. This video is like an Easter egg hunt. :)
I do a little dumpster diving. I haven't had to buy packing materials for things I sell for years, and I have quite a supply of "Dumpster paper" for my printer. The only books that might make money for you these days are college textbooks you could sell on Amazon. Other books are mostly a washout, as every thrift store and library sells books cheaply in the US. I have stacks of books here, and I manage to sell an unusual cook book for about 5 USD every once in a while.
I have begun to notice similarities in some of the things I find in the particular dumpster I go to, and some things mudlarkers find. I have found tiny bottles, glass stoppers, shells, marbles, pottery & glass, buttons, costume jewelry and lots of beads. I find many less permanent craft items that I save that the mudlarkers rarely find though. Except for Caroline who does find cloth and stuffed animals.
Your gravely voice is quite fun sounding. You have a great range. I am happy with any voice you use. I was attracted to your videos from Day one, Video one, because of how and what you search for. Your lovely voice is just a bonus for me.
Its very interesting how interconnected we all are with modern technology.
Don't mind me, but I have you as a neighbor, which I have a conversation when we meet up at the street, or at the convenience store.
I caught myself wondering today when I would meet you again, and then you just upload the video.
Well, it was nice to see you!
Thanks Marcus... lovely comment, and sure, would be nice to meet you sometime on the street, or at the convenience store. 🙂
Here in Chicago we get our water through lead pipes. The city says that the high mineral content in the water (like calcium) coats the inside of the pipes, thus making it safe because the water allegedly does not ever come into contact with the lead.
that's why the majority of ancient rome didn't get lead poisoning, but it's still not properly safe, like asbestos pipe insulation. lead pipes still leech into the groundwater from the outside. of course the calcite comes with other problems like harboring microbes and decreasing the flow capacity so they still should be replaced.
Gasp, all those flat rocks. Now I know why UK gardens have such wonderful paths.
I would love to explore such dumps. I told my husband that if we ever go to the UK, it won't be a vacation where we do things together-- unless he wants to hunt bottle dumps and walk the Thames foreshore to gather wonderful things! LOL! Thanks for sharing your adventures and the beauty of the nature around you!
Holy crap your gravely voice is the greatest 👏
“Oh dear. In hindsight that was easily foreseeable.” I like that about you, Tom.
Because if it were me I’d have just said “aw sh*te!”.😅
The stone you found made me think of a dragon egg. Thanks for the smile 😃
I look forward to your videos. Thank You. Your monster voice gave me a chill!
Thanks Teresa, I hope the chill wasn't a bad one. 🙂
A lot of metallic finds today. Copper and brass are lucrative to gather. As always, a nice calming video as usual. Enjoy the week ahead, Tom. Cheers mate! 🙂🏴👍🇺🇸
Thanks Martin, I hope the week ahead is good for you too. 🙂
So sorry the lamp didn't make it back. :( That key totally ROCKS! The turquoise bottle, also! God bless and glad the blisters healed! :) Stevie from Arizona
Another lovely adventure. Thanks for taking me along!
Proof positive your followers like myself, appreciate your unique style voice and fret if its not the usual. But one day, I personally hope to see your smiling face. Its a dream. Be well!
So this is me throughout your video, "Stop!" "Pick that up!" "No, don't leave that milk bottle!" "Don't step over that jar!" -- it was a wonderful lark, but I am now wore out! Ha! Take care, my friend! ~Jen
Well Tom you don’t have an excuse not to flash up that forge for a video,with all your copper and lead to turn into ingots.That bench grinder is a beaut .Stay safe Tom Cheers 🇦🇺........
l like the big clear jar, blue and white tea pot and shards of china, pottery. I did like that saw as well
Here in Kentucky, people break into older homes to remove the copper pipes and wiring (while the owners are away). Used copper, brass, lead, and aluminum are sold at recycle yards. My first cousin was made homeless after theves took the pipes, wiring, and everthing else they could take from her house. She was staying with one of her daughters so that she could be near her husband (the last days of his life in a nursing home in another state). Her house was damaged so badly that no could ever live there again. She spent the last months of her life being passed from one daughter to the other. When she died, she could not be brought back to her home state for burial (because of the shut down caused by the pandemic).
I like that blue willow pattern small tea pot.
Another great video TimTomTam! Those insulators are known as no1.s which are unfortunately very common like the insulator equivalent of Shippons paste pots 😂
Lovely video Tom, Thank you. You scored with all your copper finds. Loved the monster voice! I also really love that river and feel like I'm walking it with you. Thanks a gain for taking us with you and please take care.
Thanks Kaylin, I'm glad you enjoyed the video (and voice) 🙂
I really enjoy your blogs, thankyou. Very calming voice.
Tom whatever voice you use still will be good to use to read a story. I just got finished from watching your video I started last night. You found some nice things.
I like your monster voice. You had some great finds. There was just to much to haul. I was looking forward to your lamp restoration. Maybe it will still be there when you go back.
Good video! Enjoyed seeing you taking copper and metal pieces. It's very good you recycle them. Very interesting to see how you look at the items. I don't think I could take very many bottles either. I like the pretty dish shards, those are my weakness. It looks like a good place. Love to hear the water in the back ground.
Your voice and your growl are awesome. I realized when you are walking the streams it reminds me of happy summers in my childhood. I was very impressed by the clock cog, and the big metal thing with the circles! So much metal for you. Congratulations!
Thanks Thea, I'm not sure of the wisdom of putting the gravelly voice in, when so many people use my videos to fall asleep to... but, it was fun for me to include it😀. I do wonder if I can pull off a video where I only find metal... I have filmed one. And... yes, my joy in mudlarking now is a throwback to what I did in childhood summers too. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Tom we old people don't want to fall asleep it's just you have a awesome smoothing voice.
If the round thing is intact I would be gorgeous set in cement in the garden with a focus point in the center of it. You know what I mean???
Great vid Tom. I can't resist a bit of blue and white, but most end up in the tops of plant pots. :) Shame you discarded the uranium glass, despite it's vulgarity. :)
Vocal humor! Phil said you chartered a helicopter to meet up. Great fun with mudlarking!
I wish... instead I drove there, and got a bit lost, and went to the wrong beach first 😃. My video from that day misses out the Gormley sculpture, because I was so late... most of it was underwater by the time I arrived. Will have to go again and do some more filming. 🙂
Great. Now time to relax after a busy day. Thanks Tom.
Thanks Punk Lockets, I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
Omg that coper bucket is to nice to be cut up I would love to try and hammer it back into shape and use it as a planter
I tried... it had some tears in it, and was in poor shape. Had to cut it up as it was taking up a lot of space... but hopefully I'll be able to use it to make some more beautiful things, the patina is gorgeous. 🙂
I keep yelling when you miss something but you never hear me… 😀 I love your rambles and the music, enjoyed all your voices too! I think we all do that, sound different in different circumstances. Funny that someone would point that out though! Did they think it wasn’t really you?!!
I'd probably snag as many of the wide mouth jars as I could lol
I like your videos. I am a bit envious lol. I never find anything walking along the Lynn river in Ontario or on the beaches of lake Erie. Everything is so clean. I bring home rocks, shells, driftwood, herbs, mushrooms, berries and ocasional fossils.
Another lovely video 🙂 you must have quite a stash of metal now. That is some very generous gifts! looking forward to your next trip out mate 😁👍
Tom,
I love your channel, it’s very calming and interesting.
A very enjoyable walk! Possibly others have mentioned it by now but in case they haven't: lodging coins into a raw potato supposedly cleans them gently but effectively. I haven't tried it myself but have seen it done on another mudlarker's channel and it did indeed yield good results. The only drawback is that the process can take weeks and even months.
Yes, that would probably be Mudlarking With Kit & Caboodlers!? I did try it, but it's quite costly in terms of potatoes; takes about 6 of them to clean coins properly, (and I prefer to eat them)...whereas electrolysis does it much much faster. Not as gentle; leave it in there too long and the copper starts coming off as well as the oxides and chlorides, but it is fast and easy. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Yes, that's the one! It has been such a joy, shut in during the depths of winter, to discover and catch up on the past adventures of your channel and theirs. And I can certainly understand preferring to eat the potatoes! :)
Yay! @15:36 in the nook of the limb on the ground, there looks to be a crystal like door knob? It could be a small bottle but give a look when you return for the left behind pile! Thank you as always for the adventure! :D
Yes, I noticed that when I was editing, and tried to remember if I'd noticed it when I was out filming... don't think I did, so could be either. I'll look out for it when I head back there. 🙂
🤩❤️ Tom Burleigh
so beautiful by the river!
Yes, rivers and streams are my favorite places to be; because of the ever changing beauty to be found in such places. 🙂
I love the Hogwarts Bag,
Best treasure find? The monster voice of course :). I'd be very tempted to make all those old brass taps into hangers, they'd be equally handy in the tool shed and the mud room.
Thanks🙂. I still don't know if it was wise to put the monster voice in; given how many people use my videos to fall asleep... but it was fun putting it in. I'm hoping I can restore functionality on some of the taps, and make an elaborate water feature with them one day. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 That is an amazing idea, I look forward to seeing that some day in the future :)
I kept putting off doing candles and then I did some and it was easy and realised I need not have put it off for so long . I made a mold of a dolls head and made that into a candle too in the paste jar . I did a craft video on it if it helps. Great little spot
Love that creepy dolls head Tom!! It's a true head turner ;) The wide mouthed jars are amazing - they would be fab filled with treasures!! Take care, Nicole & Craig
Your voice is so soft and soothing to listen to! I like how you take what you need and leave the rest. Thank you for this video 😀!
34:45 - 😆 🤣 😂.
That rock that you had found (that's not local) looks like a calcification that might hold a crab (I'm guilty of watching another RUclips who finds these and uncovers the fossils...).
Thank you for sharing 🦋🌸
thanks for the lovely video made my day!
Liked the video Tom! I bet there is some good bottles in that dump.The oxo paste jar is great I have one the same and keep my five pences in!
Great finds 😊😊😊
Tom, thanks for the wander to the bottle dump, the uranium glass thing intrigued me and I hope that another larker finds it. I love the glass jars and bottles and I think my favourite was the Oxo jar. I like your normal, soothing voice and the monster voice was a bit scary and it made me jump.
You could smooth the edges of the pottery shards on the grinding wheel.and sell them for jewellery making.
Released back in to the wild. Hahahahaha you make me laugh
What a beautiful spot, that tranquil stream and interesting rock formations. Why are the dump areas so often by these streams? I’m glad you found so much copper and brass to recycle or use in your forge. While I understand you don’t need more pottery sherds every time I see a colourful piece I say “ Oh, pick that up Tom!” I like to save your videos as my last viewing treat of the evening because they are so soothing.
Don't worry Tom, i don't drink or cook from the tap, over here in America 🙃 i get my water from a spring. 💦👍
Glad to hear it. 🙂
Thanks Tom
What a lovely place to wander :)
Yes, one of my favourite valleys to visit now, a beautiful stream and woodland. 🙂
Found my first Bovril jar yesterday but that is a whopper!
When can we see some of your craft projects and forge creations? I can't be alone in wanting to see!
As always a great video and I enjoyed it. Sad the oil lamp didn't make it home with you.
Thanks Janice. I'll be going back there soon, it might possibly still be there, and if so I'll get it. 🙂
Big ol key you set the antler next to :)
Hi Tom, those brass taps you like and don’t want to melt down, could you find a really weathered piece of wood and screw them into it to make a hanging display, just an idea so you don’t have to melt them as they are pretty darn cool. Thank you again for sharing your awesome treasures and stunning scenery. Take care and stay safe 🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👍👍👍🌻🌻
Hey Tom, at 22:50 I don’t believe that’s a bullet. Maybe a cap to some sort of dohingy. I may be wrong but an easy way to tell is if it’s led or not
Poetry in motion: 'The last time I came the rocks beside the water were all dry and the stream was lower, today the rocks are all wet and the going is slower', such a nice ramble.. the sound of the water and the stream itself, so beautiful! 🥰. Nice bovril, such a pity you don't like it that much..haha! Also glad you took that ice blue bottle.
I’m sorry you had to leave so much behind. The site really was over flowing with interesting things: but, you didn’t hear me shouting out. Oh well. I thought I saw you pass a copper tea kettle as well. See you again 👍
Grrr grrr great 👍
Hi Tom I think I see a clay pipe around the nest of wire find . cheer's 👍🍀💯nope iiv had a look it's not
Quite possible, I do miss other things when copper catches my eye. 🙂
Another wonderful and interesting video. I also found your different voices fun to hear. The growly voice woke my little yorkie but then went back to sleep to your calming voice.
Not the oil lamp!! Guess it wasn't meant to be, that day.
Loving your gravelly voice
Thanks Kass 🙂
Fabulous video Tom , x
That was fun.
Thanks Shannon, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Great finds .my ex husband use to do scrapping for a living,of course I worked as well most of the time.However at times he made pretty good money at it and we lived comfortably. Dumpster diving her in Georgia is against the law.,there are dumpster stations dotting around the counties that are kept fenced in and has a county employee in a shack at the gate to prevent dumpster diving.There is always a BUT when people get rid of something " nice" they usually place it outside the dumpster where it can be gotten by someone that wants it. Also there are dumpster for recycling such as glass,plastic cardboard and electric appliances larger items such as stoves washers and dryer etc had to be taken to the land fill ,at a charge to whom ever is dumping it .There are also places at the land fill for people who are roofers and other contractors to dump off their unwanted rubbish.. Quit organized when people follow the laws and don't take it to a old country road and discard it because they are too cheap to pay the fee.I agree can be very high,I took an old dresser to the landfill and they charged me $60 which was more that I paid for it some years before at a second hand store ,my memory correct ,I paid $40 for it. Well enough about Georgia and our garbage . Stay Safe here the covid virus it taking a second shot at us ,they lifted the band on wearing the masks too soon .
Your technical view of a very basic scene keeps me watching every time 👍Thank you for the entertainment Tom- as always great fun and informative ✨
Hi Tom. Fantastic video, the things the “bottlers” as I call (the diggers) is so strange. They leave so much good stuff!!! Well I’m not complaining, hahaha!! Amazing video, so peaceful to watch on a Sunday evening 🙂 Happy hunting & Stay safe :)) ps- the voices near the end made me laugh!! 😂
Thanks Adam. Yep, without the bottlers, I wouldn't have much to film; makes me wonder what treasures they're taking when they leave such good things behind. I've got your video to watch in a bit, your film-making is getting really good. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Thank you Tom! 🙂⚓️🙂
I was half asleep, as Toms voice is my lullaby , and am wearing ear buds. Scared the bejeezus out of me, lol!
I love that Bovril bottle. So enjoyed our time together. Thanks for taking me along.
Another entertaining video and apart from the larking which I throughly enjoy your dry sense of humour does make me smile 😊
Thank you. 🙂
My favourite finds are the metal ones this week. Thanks Tom !
I’m sorry to hear that dumpster diving is illegal in your part of the world. I’ve based my business on reusing and some of my best finds have been out of dumpsters.
thank you sir....I needed this today....keep up your fine work...please show some projects your working on....I hate to say we will lose Attenborough one day.... maybe a job you could do very well.....I think you got what it takes...
Aw, thank you. I don't think I'd be first in line to replace such a legend, there's many people with the voice to do so... and I'm hardly known. I'll keep on making videos, and maybe my profile will grow and the right people will notice for some opportunities to happen. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Your known more than you think you are....Humans are lazy... no comments no likes... Hell I know who you are from Oregon USA....
Ah, but my most popular video only has 52,000 views... that's small in terms of reach; not much bigger than my home town population. Known far and wide, but by small numbers. 🙂
Your gravelly voice would be perfect for 'Boris the Spider'. Not your PM, but the Who song.
I am not above dumpster diving. When our townships do seasonal junk outs it's an exciting time for me haha. So many good finds over the years. Another great video Tom!
I have a new perspective now from which to view all my favourite mudlark/bottle dump videos. Having just moved house, which required major divesting of personal belongings, I can enjoy all that you and others are gathering up while feeling a deep sense of relief at having significantly reduced of the burden of owning so much stuff!! LOL A lovely way to spend Sunday evening, rambling along a river with Tom. Thank you again for your hard work in making these videos. See you next time.
That's wonderful Noralee, I hope your new home is a good move for you. I'm looking forward to a time I can free myself of a lot of my personal belongings; I do try to maintain a willingness to give things up, and have regular and sometimes brutal clear-outs... but, still... I bring things home. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 Hypocrite that I am, I thoroughly enjoy that you go looking for things to bring home. ROFL
the plan copper disc could be a tally.
Enjoyed that woodland and river walk Tom. Magical and so calming! A pleasing haul of metal, just what the forge is crying out for! Keep the videos coming. Sue and Ian, Australia
When are you going to make some of those crafts, for us to see?
Hello Tom another great video. The more i watch of all you Mud Larkers videos makes me want to take a trip or there and do a lil larking myself..
Thanks Charles. Mudlarking has become quite a popular tourist attraction, so don't leave it too long if you're hoping to go to some of the more popular places (like the Thames Foreshore). 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 where do you suggest?
Blitz beach in Crosby, nr. Liverpool is a fairly good option; it's two miles of wartime and later dumpsite being slowly eroded by the sea. Big chunks of buildings, plus smaller household items... and a world famous art installation just down the beach from it. 🙂
It was good to know that you have dipped your toe into skip syrup.😃. It reminded me of when I found an iron rocking horse, a to do project that is now living in a hedge, as unknown to me it had a living wasps best inside the head.😄
I need to catch up on your videos! I hope you are doing well. I liked your comment on foraging in safer areas. I often wonder how you choose the plants you choose, and what they taste like. In a heavily populated place like Austin, TX. I wouldn't even try. 1 million or more people, their dogs, litter, and all that entails. I did try watercress from a beautiful stream in the Jemez mountains in New Mexico. Delicious. I love your slow meanders when getting to your prospective sites. The UK is such a beautiful place. I adore the overcast days. I have a question about the more aggressive mudlarkers/bottle searchers that dig into the banks, are there any procedures in place to repair the damage?
Greetings from 🇺🇸. Thank you for another chance to explore with you today. 👍🏻👋🏼
Thanks for watching along Dana. 🙂
