Thank you for bringing sanity and joy into everyday life! I don’t think you know how valuable you are just by being yourselves and transporting us into another head space.... you are sweet people with beautiful souls with beautiful soft energy! Blessings to you🥰
I was so impressed with how you figured out what that unusual porcelain find was, fitted with the bone disk and rubber nipple. Who'd have thought a baby pacifier?! Sort of experimental archaelogy?
Kathy rom Iowa USA.. I love your finds and enthusiasm. Beautiful smiles on mother and daughter and how perfect that you both love what you do. Thank you for such an enjoyable time. I'm homeless now, it's quite scary, being 75 and never been in this position before. Manifest me a place for my cat and I.

I’d like to buy the heart pipe necklace, when will the Etsy Shop be restocked, you wonderful gals? 🖤
Alex defo needs a leg charm. It's a legggg 😂🤩👍
Alex should be chanting "Diamonds and Gold" as she crosses the field. It could serve as a test of the mention it and find it theory. :)
The next time you visit the Field of Dreams -- Alex, repeat after me, 'I haven't found a gold bar or gold coin yet.' Keep practicing that line. We hope to see you reaching down and picking up another lovely find. As always, you've created another wonderful video with exquisite music. Gail, your research skills are beyond compare. xx

Great idea but please Dont state " I haven't found" universe will only hear the word haven't. Use " I would love to find gold or silver" instead. Always a positive thought to send works best. Hope you ok i just wanted to be helpful 💜

No better vid to watch than these two wonderful lady's while I cook me a lamb shank lol 👍
what a great discovery of the pacifier. Great finds can't wait to here any information on the rolled Roman lead wish or curse find.
I've heard of manifesting, but Alex is on another level entirely. Never a bad thing to put your wishes out into the universe.
I'm sat here with a cuppa tea...making some fishing rigs up ready for the weekend and now watching you guys! 👍 awesome 🎣

Once again, thoroughly enjoyed watching you both, you never fail to put a smile on my face. ooh yes..the baby's pacifier for the window, great investigative work on your part. Looking forward to next week.
Had a pretty crappy day today. Turned to my favorite Vlogers and saw Gayle & Alex have a new post. Attitude adjusted!! Thank you ladies for what you do. How is the entire world not in Love with the 2 of you!?

The Field of Dreams is such a fantastic place to go mudlarking. Pure magic. Just loved your finds so much. A great bit of detective work with the babies dummy handle. Well done solving that mystery. Then finding that Roman piece of lead. Bound so tightly. I wonder if it was placed there by a bye gone farmer, wishing for a good crop. Or sunny weather...maybe rain. I'd really love to know what it says. As I'm sure we all do. To think of these things surviving in the soil, all these long years. It's always such a surprise and joy to find treasures have survived. Truely I enjoy our trips out with you two ladies. Always so interesting and so full of enthusiasm. Thank you. X
I think your destined to give clay bodies to your finds and give them substance😄pretty cool finding so much in a plowed field. Love those gloves gals. Take care from Michigan ✌️⛄
Hi Gail and Alex, wonderful finds! I’m glad the “little bird” won for Barbie to hold from last time, lovely…..the next item I’d like vote for is the “pacifier” but to note that all items are amazing🤗…..stay safe and thank you for sharing 🌹from the USA
Another epic video! Thank you for taking us along on your mud larking adventures!😊❤️
are you ladies looking through opera glasses how the heck do you see those itsy bitsy tiny little beads it's amazing you are drawn to them I don't think I would ever be able to see a seed bead as quickly as you gals do! you both are amazing!
Love the videos and enjoy the fascinating finds and bit of history you share. You ladies are so lovely I can listen to you talk all day. Much love from Pennsylvania USA. 🥰💕💙
My favourites this week are the grouping of pottery pieces. You clean them up so nicely and they would shine at the window. Thank you and to all who help this channel to continue.
The mystery object/ dummy would make a lovely necklace, I love the bead finds you always come across, and think the idea of a charm bracelet or charm necklace would be lovely. I also think a copper nail wrapped into a ring would be lovely.
For the window, the Roman curse rolled lead. It is so much fun going along with you on your "treasure hunts". Thank you.
The Field of Dreams loves you two. I'm for the baby pacifier to put for the window decoration. Wishing you both a wonderful day!
Always love the beginning when you both say, “Hellooo!” 🥰 PS, recognize these birds on my channel’s photo? 😘

Will be looking out for an update on the Roman lead scroll, what a find!
I miss the opening driving scenes. I was blessed to spend a few days in Scotland during the summer of 2018, and thoroughly enjoyed driving through the villages and countryside.
Oh my gosh the babies dummy is so cool! Great deduction!
HI, GAIL AND ALEX I REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO INTERESTING AND FUN. HOWEVER I MISS YOU MAKING JEWELRY IT HAS BEEN AWHILE,WILL YOU BE BRINGING,IT BACK? GOD BLESS,STAY WELL ,STAY SAFE. LINDA
You and your mother are such a delightful to follow in your adventures. I would enjoy watching you both explore a few castles together and allow us distant Americans to continue to live vicariously through your wonderful lives. Cheers.
I’m so glad that the mystery was solved! The pacifier/dummy could be in the window of wonders for that reason alone. So many great finds 😊
Great video guys! When we saw that wee jug, it reminded Sarah and I of a doll’s jug we found at the tip yesterday. We paused the video then went to find it… we couldn’t remember getting it out the bag in the house… long story short - we had put it in the bin!!!! Just recovered it, still wrapped in its newspaper! So thanks - you kind of saved it from being binned… again! Also - that’s a fab field! With all that occupation and especially with coins showing up on the surface, there’s bound to be silver, possibly even gold coins there. Do you have permission to metal detect there too?

Just got my IDX PRO Mental Detector it is old but when I do get all things going I am heading over to the Gold Coast in Florida to hunt for Spanish treasure. What I love about you two is you get out of the house and make an adventure out of it. More People need to make life an adventure and enjoy life. RAM ON.
I recently ran across your videos. I enjoy them immensely. You are both so very pleasant and very crafty. The videos themselves are well done too. I am still going through your older videos, but keep the new ones coming.
I am absolutely in love with you two...I love spending the time with you while you find all your treasures... blessings and love to you and your family
Baby pacifier! What wonderful sleuthing! I never would have guessed. That’s my vote for the window. Love you gals!
Fantastic finds as always, and a nice bit of history to boot. Boots and legs and all, lol. ❤
Wonderful finds it never surprises me you ladies find marbles every where you go that's awesome. Enjoyed this video look forward to joining again.
Finding legs while field walking, hmm. You both are such a treat to watch, I know I'll enjoy watching for as many years as you keep sharing with us. My best to you both.
Looking out over the vast Field of Dreams, it is truly amazing you find such gems spanning centuries. The Roman curse tablet and the Victorian baby pacifier are both "window worthy" finds. I also love the new format showing the cleaned items and their history as you film your search. You two are the best!
Wonderful finds from all eras!!! Amazing. I love watching you both soooo much. The finds and the history you learn is so special. Ty!!
The “Field of Dreams” delivers again - great finds / great video 😊

Yes, I thought so too! Leave it in the heart shape, wrap it in silver trim and make a pendant out of it.
Dandy buttons are common finds in New Hampshire colonial homestead sites. There's a couple of KZread channels by a local group of friends who hike out and metal detect abandoned homestead sites. Their finds go to a local historical group for preservation. I think one one channel is called stealth diggers, because they always fill in the holes.

Coating a cracked bead in clear nail polish will help stabilize it
What a great place is the field of dreams amazing finds ladies thank you xxx
Exciting video! My favourite find in the roll of lead. I think another mudlark recently featured a similar one on their channel only the lead was thinner. I do remember hearing about these Roman curse or wish tablets there.
Hi Ladies! That was so much fun. You found tons of stuff! I think the babies soother should go on the window! TFS Hugs!
I love your intro sequence. Thank you for taking us on your adventures 💚💚💚
I love the history of your finds. Thank you so much for taking the time to research.
Make a silver charm bracelet with tinies!
the pacifier handles always have that hole through them for a ring. sometimes the ring was also meant for teething which was not very safe because they're often made of hard and brittle material like bone, ivory, or wood.
THERE you are. New subscriber and my daughter and I watch you two faithfully. We are silversmiths and i dabble in clay sculpture. You are living our dream life! 😁
That is an amazing field with so many bits and pieces. Makes you wonder how it all got there and survived the plough. Love the history behind some of your finds. Maybe the agates could be in your window. Thank you and see you soon
I just love your adventures. I especially love when you find beads. I am a bead collector so I would go Gaga over finding beads. What fun you two awesome ladies are having.
Another great video outing, i just love how full of joy you get with all your finds so enjoy what you love the most- PS i wish i was there too and maybe look up some long lost relatives my aunt used to try and keep in contact with a few over there in Wales, Love from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦
Allways lovely
I've not finished watching the vide, but a Roman curse tablet is a find of a lifetime!!!
I think that the Field of Dreams video is one of the best mudlarking films I've seen. Absolutely fascinating. I hope you can make another trip.
Hello Gail and Alex . What another brilliant video from you both . If only my farmer would let me walk his fields…. I’ve already asked … he won’t lol . Anyway keep looking back at your older videos which keep me occupied . Thanks again ladies. Jan x
I can't wait for you to have the lead scroll examined, how exciting! Sooo many legs Alex. I've just noticed that you two are going to be at the Makers Central event at the end of March, I was excited about going but i can't wait now!
Wonderful video Ladies! I would love to see if there is anything on the rolled up lead 🤞It's great how you worked out the babies dummy, I really would not have had a clue and I would put that in the window 😃💗 x
I think the tiny doll's mug would make a sweet addition to the windowsill! Or the penny perfume bottle
Thanks for another episode Gail and Alex!
Amazing historic finds...the beads...the little bottle...yay...
When Gail picked up the pipe stem I thought I saw another half wig curler on the ground. Saw other porcelain pieces when Alex found the leg, too. I'm also surprised you don't find more seed beads, considering how many it takes to make a decent purse, belt, or other jewelry.
Curse leads were thrown into tombs, Graves, springs, pools etc
Wow those are some really fun finds! ❤
Awesome field walk, can’t wait to find out about the rolled lead wish/ curse. I can’t pick what to put in the window, maybe a the lid with some cod marbles in. Thank you for sharing, take care and stay safe and well 👍👍👏👏💖💖
Puts a whole new meaning on "leg day" Alex! Haha
Alex your naturally doing The Secret. Put out to the universe what you want & it will come to you. The old saying " careful what you wish for" comes from this. Good reading " The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. Keep positive in all your thoughts, for thoughts become things. And you draw them to yourself. Thoughts are transmitted, then received & then gifted back to you. I so love this. Happy exploring 😊 💜
I especially like the challenge of figuring out what the bits and pieces are, like the babies pacifier. Good job putting together several finds.
I love the little doll cup and really cool to find out the purpose of those dummy pieces. You guys just need the bone ring to go through the hole now! Can't wait to see the result of that possible lead tablet too!
I really like all your finds. The first and the last leg and penny perfume are my favorites!❤🤗
I like the saluting sailer boy for the window!
Ha ha! Even the pot you found had "Leg" on it!
That pacifier was so very interesting. Its amazing how you figured that out.👍🏼
Wonderful! What a great day!!!!!
I love when you find the bottle stoppers.
Thank you for the opportunity to win one of your magnificent necklaces. 🥰
If I was the one who had found all of the things you guys have found, that tiny penny perfume bottle would be one of my top finds EVER, it's beautiful. Only thing that could make it better is if it was turquoise, my fave color lol. Enjoy!! That deff needs to go on the window sill.
