- This week we returned to the Thames Estuary. We went looking for tiny metal treasures and found some unexpected but amazing things (well to us haha) We found objects that tell tales of Kings and Queens. Join us mudlarking some amazing history!
We also craft some things with the items we found. One of which is the start of a new huge project :)
We have started a patreon page for anyone wishing to support us.
We also have a Ko-fi account, so if you wanted to support us by buying us a metaphorical cup of coffee it would be greatly appreciated xx

#mudlarking
the essence of quietude in these frightened times. i find great solace in your work, enough to cause me quote Leonard Cohen: Suzanne takes your hand as she leads you to the river
she is wearing rags and feathers from salvation army counters
and the sun pours down like honey on our Lady of the Harbor
she shows you where to look amid the garbage and the flowers
there are heroes in the seaweed they are children of the morning
they are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
while Suzanne holds the mirror......
(i hope i got that right......and thanks. i like judy collins rendition)
We love Leonard Cohen! This fits so perfectly thank you :)
Mudlarkers, historians, archeologists, artists, entertainers, and on and on! Thanks you for sharing!
Hahaha thank you :)
The wee post office bag seals would look nice posing as books on a shelf in your dolls house x
Lovely idea :)
It's called a garter belt that holds stockings up great finds ladies Happy Mother's day 🌹 from USA
The buckle you wasn't sure of , looks like a military strap adjusting buckle on a , maybe rifle strap or other military thing like a belt that held canteens , knives. Sense I can't send you picture of anything maybe you could look up the world war 1 solders in field dress and you will see one.
I think you are right it does look military :)
Your pixie looks like Quark from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. (He's an alien Ferengi character who bought and sold merchandise.) You could name your pixie Quark.
We love Star Trek :)
If you found a Star Fleet badge its because the lucky pixie wants you to live long and prosper.
Hahahahaha :)
Pixies are part Vulcan you know. 🖖🖖
Wonderful video. Once again, Fleur is smiling like a cat in the cream pot. Love the piano music. Very soothing after a long day of work.
Thank you very much! :)
Oh that little pixie is the cutest ever and just perfect for you :) Love the apothecary stopper - so glad you also see a mouse face in it !!! Looking forward to seeing Mrs Toothpaste once she is all made up!
Thank you! I can`t not see a mouse`s face haha :)
Your are such a delightful young lady. I'm sure you must make your mother proud daily. Thank you for another lovely video.
You might be interested to watch the excellent Bernadette Banner (historical dress expert) on her YT channel about corset wearing. She is quite positive about them on the whole. And she is just generally fab at historical sewing.
Love the upcoming chess set project idea and also the toothpaste dolls. Thanks for another great vlog.
I think Kate has watched some of her videos :)
I love how you find things ,then tell their story afterwards.it makes the finds so special and turns them into treasures..I also love the little craft bits you put into the end sometimes too.🥰
Thank you so much! We found an object in this coming video which has an amazing back story involving ghosts and war! :)
Those seals will be perfect pawn bases. I LOVE the queen. Quite imperious.
Thanks so much :)
Your Star Fleet badge might be part of a 20's or 30's shoe clip.
It seems it is either a shoe clip or the end of a belt, not sure we will ever know for sure :)
I absolutely love the delight in your voices when you make a find. Adorable.
My granny crocheted matching gloves and slippers just like the ones your wearing when I was little I love ❤️ yours they are beautiful.
Thank you so much, a very talented granny :)
That bead is so beautiful it must be worn. Love your pixie he looks like a cross between Mr. Magoo and a Ferengi!
Haha he is a strange little fellow :)
Pawns could be glass bottle stoppers and vulcanized black stoppers. That pixies is adorable! I love that fancy bead, it’s so special.
I think stoppers maybe the way to go possibly :)
I know I'm late to comment on this video, but maybe you could use bottle stoppers as pawns for your chessboard? You could flip them upside down and attach a marble, or a small piece of seaglass of similar color on the tip. Thank you for sharing your adventures! Love your channel ❤
Happy Mother’s Day. Turn your pixie into a necklace and ware it every time you go mud larking hon. Awesome finds guys as well as many super crafting pieces. God bless and stay safe and well 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🌸🌸🌸🌼🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌻
Funnily enough I did think of that :)
It’s Mother’s Day here in the US, and seeing you two together, doing what you enjoy doing, laughing, and just sharing time together made me smile.
All the best to you both always ~ 🥰🌼
Thank you so much :)
Yall had a awesome day..wowzer
Thanks for sharing not only your finds but sharing all you find out about them
Thanks for watching! :)
"Seeds of the universe ever endeavor to grow
Tiny pieces of everything into the water they go
Everything changes for the strangers on the shore"
By American singer James Taylor, it's the chorus to his song, "Yellow and Rose". I have taken the words literally because they explain, so well, the things we find on the shore. The song is actually about the British convicts who were sent Botany Bay.
That is really really beautiful! :)
That brown heart stopper looks like Feathers McGraw from The Wrong Trousers 🤔 Another fab video!
It really does haha :)
@43:50, that could be made into part of a typewriter or used in a miniature dollhouse as a settee inside of the doll’s house nursery. Love the toothpaste doll and Queen! So inventive. Just an overall quaint little video. 🥰❤️
Cool finds. The little pixie is so charming. The bead was once a beautiful necklace. 😻😻😻
I love the blue and white portion of a plate showing only feet- it was drawn with humor!!
:) :):)
Your crafting is the icing on the cake after a wonderful day hunting treasure 😊❤
The pawns could be tooth paste lids with cod marbles on top. You find plenty of both of those items where it might be possible to make enough pieces for your set. Just a thought 💭🥰
Great idea!
That would be lovely :)
Lovely finds today, Ladies. That bead is beautiful and definitely my favourite find from today. Fabulous start to the K&C chess set. Could you use vulcanised bottle stoppers as pawns, maybe with a frozen charlotte or mini dolls head on top. Very enjoyable video with lots to keep me entertained on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks you. Jeanette
Bottle stoppers are a good idea, we have loads :)
It's Mother's Day in America, Happy Mother's Day Fleur!!
Thank you :)
The little collar studs would make perfect pawns for your chess board x maybe if you mount them on something just to make them a bit taller ??😍😍😍
They would and be about the right size :)
Dear Fleur and Kate, your videos are a pleasure to watch! There is something very special about them, they touch me deeply, in a personal way if I may put it this way. Above and beyond the history of your findings. Having said that, you have no idea how much I would have loved to look at those flints, study them, prehistoric tools are beautiful and a great interest mine. Best wishes!
Thank you so much Izabela that means a lot to us. I love flints too :)
The big amber stopper looks like Feathers McGraw from Wallace and Gromit-when he puts the disguise on to rob the diamond 💎 🤣🥲
It really does haha :)
Wow, this was such an incredible history lesson. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
You two are so sweet and adorable as are your imaginative creations. I love how you are so inspired by some of your finds that you get right to it crafting! Try Backgammon discs to mount your Chess pieces instead of a topper.
Thank you so much! We do enjoy thinking and making our crafts. I will admit my favourites are doll crafts though :)
Love from the old lady in Texas USA may God bless you always and forever
I love how creative you both are, and I feel inspired by your craft projects. Maybe you could use glass bottle stoppers turned flat side down, for the pawns of you chess set. Maybe glue a cod marble on the top. Black could be green stoppers, and white could be clear. Just a thought. I’m sure whatever you make will be fabulous.
That is a good idea as we have so many stoppers we do not know what to do with them haha :)
Great idea! Silver and Bronze will be very beautiful!
Your chess set could be glass vs. metal. You could use the glass bottle stoppers as pawns since they are a very similar shape and size to each other.
The triangle object you found maybe a clip for fitting suspenders through. Usually higher up on the back. Made of metal or even plastic.
Fun video. Thanks for making my Mother’s Day interesting.
You are very welcome :)
I love the little pixie! He is so adorable! I really love Kate’s outfit in this video, it looks super comfy, and green is my favorite color.
I loved the outfit too. What would you call the trousers?
@@dadams9158 not sure, but I want some lol
They are tartan dungarees :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers I love them and you wear them so well.
I'm gonna google them to see what I come I come up with here, near me in Georgia, USA.
And that bead is sooooo beautiful!!!!
Happy Mother's Day Fleur!! 🌹🌹🌷🌷
Thank you! 🤗
I absolutely love going with you on your adventures 💕. You bring me lots of joy.
Oh thank you! :)
The apothecary stoppers might make interesting chess pieces.
This is so boring that I love it!!!💖
I'm happy to hear the delight and joy in your voice when you discover something special...
The Best Mother's Day ever 💕💕💕🌹💖
Your"cousin" from across the pond....🌹
Boring?! I think it’s fascinating x
I`m not sure if `so boring I love it` is good or bad? :)
Thank you Becky :)
Boring? This is delightful. I love this family.
Happy Mother’s Day, Fleur. Your Lucky Pixie worked his magic for you. Love the beautiful videos. Your becoming quite accomplished video makers.
Thank you so much for that, we are hoping to just keep improving :)
Those little mouse bottle stoppers would make cute knights for a chess set.
Nan from Florida: your knowledge about items on the shore is amazing!!!!
I think the word that you were trying to come up with for your little clasp is actually for a garter belt. As always I love your videos you guys are the absolute best much love and luck to you all.
That bead is fantastic! Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you! 😊
The item at 50.00 reminds me of dress clips that ladies wore at their neckline. Often with sparkles!
Another satisfying video to chill out to after a very busy week. I feel most relaxed. Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
The stocking holder clasp would make a great miniature headboard for a bed
That big piece of flint is at the very least a blade core. The long groves in the stone are from removing thin flint blades to use as knives or arrow points. It's like a 6000 year old box of razor blades :)
I've always thought that collar studs look like pawns. Also, your buckle may have gone to a military webbing belt.
That does seem to be the consensus about the belt :)
Garter belt held up stockings. I could use a lucky Pixie. The wide "Buckle" could have been from some sort of strap to be tightened over cargo. Trucks have modern straps of that sort. They may have had them on wagons.
on the corset thing. Modern military body armor properly worn, fits like a corset. The chest piece weighs so much that the only way to wear it without being completely miserable is to button it on and have someone else cinch it till it squeezes on your ribs. This takes some of the weight off of your shoulders, which otherwise hurt from having 15+kg of gear hanging off of them. being body armor there is zero stretch, so it's a balancing act between spreading weight, and still being able to breathe.
There's a part of me that wants to see you attach that beautiful bead onto the toothpaste doll as the head. 😅 I think you should save it for something special, though. Such a stunning little find!
I have beads similar to yours and they are called lamp work beads. Perhaps it is one also. You both show such enthusiasm that it is contagious as I watch. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
I loved watching you crafting.
The holey bricks would have been used as a liner around the fireplace to draw air and warm it as a kind of central heating.
I just watched a video and they found old Roman hollow bricks out on the mud flats using hovercraft.
Wonderful finds 😉
Thank you :)
What a lovely day to be out there guys, thanks for the video.
Thank you :)
This is a joy to watch. I love your creativity! Thanks so much.
Wonderful watching!
Wonderful finds. Awesome dolls.
Have you ever thought of making shadow boxes with wood and nails found whilst larking?
You could make a different theme's for each box. Make different shapes and sizes, depending on what your displaying!
Could even fancy a box up to display larger broken pieces of china with beautiful pictures.
Just my thoughts!
You could do ceramics on the boxes with broken pieces, tiles or stock down pretty paper to cover the top and each shelve!
I love the idea of the little pictures out of pottery will definitely be making up some of them! :)
Almost an hour in the company of K&C, brilliant! (The air raid siren is what we hear when the valley is about to flood, makes my stomach turn!) The bead is stunning! what a great find, and the little pixie is just adorable. Great video Ladies, thank you 😀 x
It is a horrible sound, it is made to make you panic I think! :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers It works lol x
Wow, what a lot of metal pieces. Great lark.
I no longer turn over seaweed as it disturbs the organisms sheltering under it waiting for the tide to return.
Dang...I thought I had this brilliant idea for pawns!!! Seems like I got beaten to the post several times over!!! Those pesky vulcanite bottle stoppers🤣♟❤️
Il folletto è troppo bello, complimenti per i vostri video sono stupendi e rilassanti. Saluti dall Italia 👋☘️🇮🇹
Make some clay pipe dolls using plain bowls. There may be instructions on the internet. Very enjoyable to watch while it is tipping it down outside. It is also a very chilly Mother’s Day.
We are going to make dolls out of everything :)
The square postal bag seals, if set on point in to a bit of black or white clay that is hardened, would work as pawns.
Love from the old lady in Texas God bless you alway
Thank you for my daily escapism, and means of sanity!
The holey brick pieces would be nice for making prints in art journals.
The wheel, or frame, would make a fine mud larking wreath .
I think the name Kate might have been looking for , when describing the corset metal piece, is garter belt.
Have you tried crumbled denture cleaning tablets for the inside of the bottles with openings too tiny for a brush?
Oh how I enjoy your videos! Thank you!☺️
Wonderful finds !! Love the bead and the pixie. Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much! :)
vulcanized bottle stoppers for pawns!
Good idea
Stoppers do seem to be a popular choice :)
That tiny pointy metal thing you found at 29:54, is a lable fastner for fabric. The lable is tied with a string to the little metal piece, that’s why there’s a hole in it, and then you push it (the metal) through the fabric. I still see them being used today, because I sometimes work with fabric.
Twilfit is still going here in Sweden, cool to hear their origins. It will fit, well of course.
Love the vid, hugs Madde
Thank you so much for that information :)
Use the blank bag seals for bottoms of all your chess pieces or even just for the frozen Charlotte pawns!
I had a metal day today ; ) it's a lot of fun with the magnet . Liking the toothpaste creations a lot.
It is always exciting to find a patch of metal, never know what you will find :)
Love watching you Mom and Oscar. His grin melts my heart. I love all the info you give.
Awesome, thank you
I'm not an expert but I think the changes in tides and storms (amongst other things, I'm sure) erode certain areas and then drop all of the bits that weigh the same in the same place. Tom Burleigh mentioned he has observed this phenomena too.
Yes like things definitely gather together because of weight and floatability so to speak :)
love your enthusiasm
Great finds today
Very cute crafting.
fun and educational- great combination!
The lead seals look like “ a tiny book”!!!! Nan from Florida
Hi lovely ladies, think the bottle stopper was the best, loved toothpaste dolly , let's hope you find a head next time. Looking forward to next video. Much love Sue Gosling Adelaide south
Always want to find a head or a doll :)
And I loved the chess piece! What a great idea!
Love the bead!!
The youthful enthusiasm and wonder you both share is delightful to watch. I love how you see the beauty and potential in all things.
Thank you so much that is very kind :)
Oooo cup of coffee. piece of cake and you 2 lovely ladies. A great Sunday afternoon thank you.
