My grandfather was a cooper and made barrels and carts for horses, he also made slate writing blocks for my mum and her siblings. They lived in a place in Yorkshire called Hipperholme which is very near to Shibden Hall in Halifax where I am from and where the series " Gentleman Jack" was filmed. Some of my grandfathers tools were donated by my family to the museum at the hall and are still there I beleive. My mum came from a very poor background and she was one of 4 children -who ever got up first, got to go to school as there was only one school uniform between the 4 of them.
Well girls I got to say that I just watched this video you have made and was so refreshed and uplifted. I've had a very bad week I do some I care for my 92-year-old dad and my handicap sister. It can be long and tiring when they're not doing well. And I was feeling pretty sorry for myself but I just went on that exploring with you it's all those cute things watch the water and the music and I got to thank you. So a great big heartfelt thank you for making my day so much better. Look forward to seeing the next adventure. CL
Hellooooo, @Northern Mudlarks! I so appreciate you wonderful ladies! Alex makes me go “awww” every time she interacts with a crab, beach fleas or snails; she is a creature whisperer! 😊
The lovely relationship you two have makes me miss my mom terribly. Some of my favorite memories of her is when we went rock hunting and beach combing together. You two find some enviable treasures, but the real priceless treasure is the memories you're making. Hugs, Pamela
Yey, every adventure mud larking is always a joy when a little pudding doll is found. Eyes like a hawk. Its always a pleasure tagging along with you both on your larks. You found some interesting things and as usual, we all got some history too. Which i always enjoy. Thanks ladies. X
Immediately after viewing this episode I watched maybe your very first (?) video dated Oct 14th, 2019, at Berwick-Upon Tweed. You have really improved in your filming techniques since then! I'm so glad the two of you persevered to your present status. I very much enjoy your knowledge and enthusiasm and the history you give us.
More fab treasures and interesting research too! As for the insulators, that is precisely the reason they existed in such high numbers, because the plastic sheathing simply didn't exist back then. For certain scenarios, they would use a waxy paper, cloth or asbestos coating, but these weren't reliable for various reasons, hence the ceramic insulators were used. A cool part of history!
Ohhh, I really liked the grouping of slate pencils on the little chalkboard. I think a framed collection of them would make a wonderful piece of wall art!
It's always good to see you find slate boards and pencils, I love the history of them. It makes you wonder how many children would have written on them back in the day. Lots of other lovely finds to like the red lense and pudding doll. Have a great week
That Albert chain was amazing!!! I love not only your finds, but the history behind them as well as your lovely and lilting narration! I find it hypnotic and calming. Bless you both for making these videos. Hopefully one day I can make it to the UK and thank you both on a mudlark
Great finds 🌟 Isn't it amazing to spot the rusty crusty looking pocket watch clasp, that turns out to be sterling silver 😍. I love it. Who would have ever thought you would clean it up so beautifully. It would look lovely worn on a chain. Have you ever thought of creating a charm bracelet with buttons, heads, arms, legs, soldiers, buttons, clasps, pipe stems, beads, dogs teeth, pudding dolls, pottery pieces, etc, that represent or capture all the finds. Or a charm necklace. I love bottles and jars, also very special finds as they will never be made ever again. Thank you both for another great video. Happy mudlarking 💜🌹
I so enjoy your videos. I lived in France as a small child (1957-61). Until there was a place for me in the American school I attended a French school. We used slates in frames and a stylus for writing. Your find brought back wonderful memories. Along with the frozen Charlottes you have found. My English mum always put a wee one, and little silver charms, in the Christmas pudding.
Another great show ladies, thank you! I'm afraid that I'm old enough to remember learning to write on a slate. I was born in 1949 and can clearly recall being told by my teacher that the squares on one side were for writing sums. We were told to write H T U (for Hundred, Tens, and Units) at the top, then place the numbers below. So, the number 127 would appear as 1 (under the H), 2 (under the Tens), and 7 (under the U for units). The next number, to be either added or subtracted would be written under the 127, and so on. I also remember that on visits to Holland and Germany at an early age, most people used graph paper for writing ordinary messages and letters. This might have been something to do with post-war shortages, I'm not sure, but please carry on the good work!
That's so interesting. I was born in January 1950 in a small town on the Ohio river, (Paducah, named after an Indian chief), Kentucky. In the first grade we used newspaper with horizontal lines, a solid line, dash line, solid line, the the solid lines measure the height of a capital letter with the dash being the height of a lower case. They were bound across the horizontal top with some type of glue that allowed you to tear off the top sheet to expose the clean sheet below. We were also forced to use these allow fat pencils. I don't know which I disliked more the newsprint pads or the fat pencils. We also won't taught penmanship, hence my handing writing looks like inked up chicken feet ran across the page. It's so interesting to see how different it was between the US and the UK. Our economy was booming while you had to rebuild a country with little funds. Thanks for sharing your story. Suzy
Thank you Gail and Alex giving us the history on so many vitamins learning alot, find very interesting . Love that brass spoon when cleaned up, never knew they made spoons out of brass, the silver catch, Oh everything, would love to go out wit you looking, so enjoy your channel
Thank you for sharing so much. Computer skills, short videos, and crafting videos! Full time job. Love all your finds. Even the smallest piece of metal could turn up amazing history. The silver pocket watch finder turned out beautifully. 🦋
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, a kind of official upgrade?! I cannot use my greeting phrase "Dear lovely Northern Mudlarking ladies" any longer because now it has to be: Dear lovely pudding doll queens!? 😁 ;-) 👍👌👏 Very nice finds, gals. Congrats! I absolutely love 💚💚 your enthusiasm and hope, that someday we will learn for what reason you are collecting tiles. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Yet another great fascinating video, some lovely finds, and as for the pudding doll well done 👏 a lovely find. Thanks for the hard work needed to bring these videos to us most appreciated 🙂
Hello girls, sad about the dog's teeth but fabulous finding the pudding doll. You both have so much fun and l highly admire you both. Much love ❤ to all. Janice in Oz. Xxx
I love how the copper and all your finds clean up and sparkle! Love hearing the history attached to each item!! Your videos are always enjoyable and interesting!
Such a fun day mudlarking!!! I love watching! Oh, I spent an hour or so wandering around an antique shop in Boone, North Carolina last week and found a small Codd bottle in perfect condition! It has a small piece of paper stuck in the top that detailed the history of Codd bottles. I thought of you two and just had to purchase it. I know it isn't as wonderful as finding it in a bottle dump or on the foreshore. But I'll take it and think of you two!
Thanks for taking us along on your Sunrise Mudlark. You found all kind of lovely things, love the pudding doll, the copper spoon and the silver lobster type clasp?. Thanks so much. The bone mystery find looks like a part of a lace bobbin (check on latest K & C video)
Lovely video, as usual! While y'all're scooping up tiny (and not so tiny) treasures, I'm looking with keen eyes at all the patterned pottery shards and wishing I was alongside to scoop them up! 😊 Point of inquiry: might those small striated or helically indentioned fragments be parts of carved bone or ivory lace spindles? Many spindles were plainly smooth, but a great many were often carved. Just a thought. Happy mudlarking! ❤️
I love seeing you too you become my favorite pair I have been binge watching for a few days I hope I don't forget to hit the like button because I love the content is a dream of mine to come to your country
I always love seeing the children's items you find, as well as pottery with words. Have you ever tried making "found poetry" from some of the shards? Happy New Year!
You have a lovely collection of pudidng dolls now. They are so cute. Some nice finds on the foreshore today, love the soldiers with one leg and still colour on them.. You'd think that would be the first thing to go. The dog clip is my favorite with the pudding doll.
Thank you for the slate and pencil history. Always wondered what the pencils were made of and how they were always sharp. Great little finds today, ladies!!!🥰🥰🥰
Great video, amazing how you find the most tiny items. Your videos are so we edited with the mixture of scenic moments and the information about the history of items makes for such a pleasure to accompany you on your treasure hunts. 🌻🐕🥰🇺🇸
Always happy to see both of you finding and collecting all the things you love🤗🤗🤗 love watching you as you find things you can use but are old. Precious time spending time together ❤❤❤
Hi, what a beautiful morning, love your smiles and joy as you find those bits of treasure which are linked to so much history. And what a bonus, your one-legged soldiers both had HEADS. Sad about the dog jaws and teeth, I wonder if there is a history of greyhound racing in that area as I believe that many dogs that weren't winners were 'disposed of' 😢. Good luck finding some tiny legs for your tiny dolls. Thanks for the funlark, a beautiful start to the week. xx
Alex does sometimes say Modd carble instead of Codd marble, just as she sometimes says stopple bopper instead of bottle stopper. I love it so don't stop it please Alex!

You two are the modern day wombles 😁 collectors of things the every day folk leave behind. I love it.
Both little soldiers had their heads, that must be a record! So many treasures. The pudding doll kept her head as well.
Slate pencils are always some of my favorites. And I would love to see someone play a game of knuckle bones. 😊

That was a lovely day searching for treasures in nature. See you next week!
I really enjoy the way you transform your finds into beautiful jewelry.
Broseley is indeed by Ironbridge, though it's Shropshire :) Last time I visited you could make your own pipe in the museum

Alex, you could cast a pudding doll for a pendant. Would be special. Love all the little treasures, they are my favorites. Keep up the treasure hunts.

Beautiful little treasures from history found. I especially love the teeny tiny pudding doll. Thank you my lovelies xx Teresa 🇦🇺❤
Ohhh, I really liked the grouping of slate pencils on the little chalkboard. I think a framed collection of them would make a wonderful piece of wall art!
Great outing with fun finds. The thorny scale from the skate fish looks like it could b used as a mini sundial 🌞
It's always good to see you find slate boards and pencils, I love the history of them.

Congrats on 90K! Fabulous finds! I love the doll in the bonnet, Jesus head, and pretty inks.

Those small white dolls were so cool to see you two have a great day

I love when you find the stoppers and marbles and pipes. Such interesting stories about them.

Enjoy your tidbits of history. They make your finds so interesting.
Wonderful and addictive I’m drawn in every time. The glass stopper as good as the day it was made. Thank you ❤
I have a tiny pudding doll or tub toy Frozen Charlotte, my Grandma had it in an old jewelry box, I also recently got a standard Frozen Charlotte.

I'm always collecting fossils and rocks. They're awesome
Nice story about the pencils. I always learn something interesting watching your videos. Thanks so much.
The large piece of slate! Wow. I can't often see that much detail.
I like your pudding baby dolls so cute , and the cod marbles
Such a fun day mudlarking!!! I love watching! Oh, I spent an hour or so wandering around an antique shop in Boone, North Carolina last week and found a small Codd bottle in perfect condition! It has a small piece of paper stuck in the top that detailed the history of Codd bottles. I thought of you two and just had to purchase it. I know it isn't as wonderful as finding it in a bottle dump or on the foreshore. But I'll take it and think of you two!
Such cool finds. Love the slate & pencils. I also am amazed at all the other treasures.
Thank you for another escape into your treasure hunt day
Always love the time with you
I love the jaw bones,such good material for drawing
Thanks for taking us along on your Sunrise Mudlark. You found all kind of lovely things, love the pudding doll, the copper spoon and the silver lobster type clasp?. Thanks so much. The bone mystery find looks like a part of a lace bobbin (check on latest K & C video)
Definitely not from a lace bobbin - could be part of the screw mechanism of a bone propelling pencil
@@NorthernMudlarks Thanks
The crystals you found look like fluorite. Awesome find.
Lovely video, as usual! While y'all're scooping up tiny (and not so tiny) treasures, I'm looking with keen eyes at all the patterned pottery shards and wishing I was alongside to scoop them up! 😊 Point of inquiry: might those small striated or helically indentioned fragments be parts of carved bone or ivory lace spindles? Many spindles were plainly smooth, but a great many were often carved. Just a thought. Happy mudlarking! ❤️
Amazing finds guys, love the pudding doll on the soon (necklace, just for the spoon not the handle? ) take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️
Another fab video. The bone item you found at 2 mins Alex, I think is part of a lace bobbin. Thank you for taking us with you x
I love seeing you too you become my favorite pair I have been binge watching for a few days I hope I don't forget to hit the like button because I love the content is a dream of mine to come to your country
I love the pudding dolls. They are so cute.
Would love a dig on that little beach, i bet there's some crackin bottles in there. Well done folks awesome finds.
Thank you for sharing. Love your hair Alex 🤗😘💖🙏
I always love seeing the children's items you find, as well as pottery with words. Have you ever tried making "found poetry" from some of the shards? Happy New Year!
Another amazing video ladies. After a long weekend I needed that.
Love the little dolls.
I love watching! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. 😍
You have a lovely collection of pudidng dolls now. They are so cute. Some nice finds on the foreshore today, love the soldiers with one leg and still colour on them.. You'd think that would be the first thing to go. The dog clip is my favorite with the pudding doll.
A sunlit morning on the river. Those are some beautiful shots.
Continue your treasure hunting and educating us on its history. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
wow the sun as got it's hat on. we love you all.❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Now, attach the doll to the pretty spoon, put a bale on it, & wear it as a long spoon-doll necklace !😉
another great video thank you Gail and Alex xx
Another wonderful video. Thank you! Beautiful music also.
I've never seen a nuckle bone before or most of the treasures you find love watching your channel
Thank you for the slate and pencil history. Always wondered what the pencils were made of and how they were always sharp. Great little finds today, ladies!!!🥰🥰🥰
Great video, amazing how you find the most tiny items. Your videos are so we edited with the mixture of scenic moments and the information about the history of items makes for such a pleasure to accompany you on your treasure hunts. 🌻🐕🥰🇺🇸
Always happy to see both of you finding and collecting all the things you love🤗🤗🤗 love watching you as you find things you can use but are old. Precious time spending time together ❤❤❤
I love those little pudding dolls, but I have to skip ahead when you find animal teeth and bone. It shivers me timbers! Arrrrr!
Loved it. Great doll finds.
Always pleased to watch a video from you...Very happy you ladies are doing fine. Sry to hear about white schwoo. Please be safe and sound
That “ thorny scale “ from the skate~~~ looks like a sun dial!!🤣🌹❤️Nan from Florida
Hi, what a beautiful morning, love your smiles and joy as you find those bits of treasure which are linked to so much history. And what a bonus, your one-legged soldiers both had HEADS.

Good luck finding some tiny legs for your tiny dolls. Thanks for the funlark, a beautiful start to the week. xx
At 5:23 you say "first mod carble" I think lol... instead of "first cod marble" lol maybe it's just my hearing but it's funny to me none the less!
Alex does sometimes say Modd carble instead of Codd marble, just as she sometimes says stopple bopper instead of bottle stopper. I love it so don't stop it please Alex!
So many beautiful find. Those pudding dolls are so cute. Just love your videos can't wait till the next one. Keep mud larking
That bone screw looking fragment is part of a silk bobbin
Another fantastic video! Thank you for sharing!
What a lovely setting. It's a joy to watch you find interesting little things and the history that goes along with them.
Loved this video. I love the river ones and the beach ones of course. You make history so interesting !
Glad you like them! xx
I love each episode because I never know what you find
Great finds!!!!!
Another interesting video, loving the Lost dairies also ❤
Excellent video as usual, great job ladies!
