Just a wee bit.
ARE YOU CRAZY you ask. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Look at the beautiful piece of history you rescued from imminent destruction. That is a gorgeous piece that will enjoyed by you and your family for years to come. So NO absolutely not CRAZY.
What a great video for Mother’s Day, mother and daughter teamwork!!!❤

Totally agree!💪💖☝️my mother💖never had to ask twice.#"love one another💪💖-Jesus🕊️💖"😊go Alex! "Honor thy Mother💪💖"🙂👍😎☕
You mad, mad, mad, ladies, but what an achievement. Thank you so much for this 'episode'.
Ladies, I have mad respect for the amount of effort you put into retrieving that carved stone. It was worth the time and energy to get it home. Can't wait to see your other finds from this adventure. Love and best wishes from North Carolina. ❤️ Happy Mother's Day to all mothers everywhere. ❤🌹🪷🌷🌺🏵💐
EXTREME Mudlarking Maximus 🎉has to be the heaviest keeper ever🦋
LOL!!! The pudding doll on the stone at the end! 😂🤣 Every week I forget and every week I have a good laugh. Thank you, Northern Mudlarks!
I picture the artist that carved this watching over you as you saved his/her work, and I imagine their joy. Epic rescue!
That carved stone work, was so worth all the effort it took to get it home. Well done Gail and Alex. What a beautiful thing to have saved. Well done ladies. 💪 xxx
It looks like it fronted a building. The roughness on the back is to help it hold when cemented into place. Many areas of the seacoast and many many dumps were filled with the truckloads of debris from the Blitz. which is why there are so many items that date to 1939 and before. The brick work was so extensive that it was even sent out as ballast in some ships of the day. (some reportedly ended up in New York).

I don't know if you have seen videos of the coast near Liverpool, where they dumped the rubble from the extensive bomb damage, some extraordinary architectural features.
I never doubted that the two of you would prevail. Congrats on the largest and heaviest mudlarking find. I am already looking forward to see what you found that day.. Happy Mother's Day Gail and all others who read this.

The masterful strength of two women on a mission! WELL DONE ladies, very well done! Cheers!
And to think of all the times Gail passed on lovely bricks or tiles because she thought they were 'too heavy' to carry back to the car. Haha!
The stone you found was well worth the effort you ladies put into getting it back home! I would like to know the history behind it!

Me too!!!
Ladies, I have such respect for you two. You both are nothing if not persistent. If anyone can get that piece of masonry out of that predicament it would definitely be The Northern Mudlarks.
Oh my goodness Ladies! I literally CHEERED when you got it into your car. Well done! I applaud you for your drive and determination!
Through sheer grit and determination not to fail, our intrepid gatherers of history were Victorious!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes, you are crazy! It’s a beautiful carved stone but wow, you are going to be very sore the next few days. You are very fit ladies to even attempt it! ❤️🇨🇦
YES! You Ladies just had the best save of history I've ever seen...YOU DID IT! And it looks lovely in your garden. Thank you so much for sharing this with us...amazing!
Good job girls. Looks great, someone not everyone has in their garden. I once rescued pet tombstones from an area that was being built over. Made a very unusual walkway in the backyard. 👩🦳🌺
Fair play girls! That was blooming awesome! We cheered you on all the way! Well done. You're great.
Y’all are nothing but absolute glorious inspiration!!!!! 🫶🤍✌️
A super “A” for effort !!! That was quite a challenge. 🥇🏆🏵️💪🏼
Bravo ! Strong hearts prevail ! 😊Such a beautiful mother and daughter team you are.....so wonderful you have each other to share life with......❤😊 Well done ladies 🥰

You guys did a great thing saving that beautiful old piece of masonry. It will be lovely in your wall. There's nothing you two can't do! I love 'Lil Pud with it at the end!! ❤ Well done!!
You two never cease to amaze me with the things you do.Its so lovely to think that whoever made that was looking down on you struggling to recue his piece of artwork. Good on you. What a struggle you shoud have got your son to come and help you. Stay safe and have a nice rest after all your hard work.
THIS IS EXTREMELY EPIC ! I love how it mirrors the shape of your beautiful bench ! Well done 👏 bravo !
WOW! I just knew when you first found this piece that you would go back for it! It looks amazing! You two ladies are a fantastic team and I admire your obvious love for what you do.
Two women together can move mountains. Well done! SO worth it, what an amazing piece of stone work. And you've got the piece of bridge, too, very cool! Preserving the past in your own back yard, lovely.
You guys are so Fantastic 😊❤. What a great Find. I'm so Proud of you 👏👏❤❤
You two ARE a little crazy! I'm impressed that you worked so hard for your prize! It's FABULOUS! I sure hope your backs are recovering from all of that tugging, pushing and lifting!
Sharon here..... That was quite a challenge! But I knew you could do it! A great garden piece for sure. A hot soak in the bath I'm sure was needed! ❤😃👍☀️
Happy Mothers day to all Mothers. You are absolutely wonderful. Love watching you.❤
I feel emotional you two have done an amazing thing and saved a piece of history.❤❤❤❤
100% worth the effort! ... All I can hear is Alex saying "I can cast something from that" :) And Dolly at the end too OMG that's awesome!
Wow when you both set your mind to something you accomplish your goals. You both are inspiring. It is beautiful! You both are not crazy, you are determined!!
🙋♀️❤️. CONGRATULATIONS! I'm positive that no other yard in the world has a Thing like your Thing! You really earned that Thing with elbow grease and determination! You two are NOT. MAD! You are amazing! So is the Thing! I love it! I wish I had one!❤️⚘️🎈😃😍
That sculpture is one of your best finds ever!! Bully well done Strong beautiful ladies,i think the swoos will enjoy it to.
What a great ad for the cart - I can't believe it made it! What an amazing find and kudos to your hard work and perseverance!
What an epic adventure.....I bet you two felt muscles you didnt know you had....sometimes it's not the treasure as much as the memory you made forever....you conquered your unachievable goal....beautiful find. Well done girls. Happy Mother's day memories.
Sometimes you just have to brute force your way to victory. What a great save, ladies! Well done. Your two channels are lovely.
Together, you can accomplish great things! Well done !
Looooove how Gail was thinking like an engineer to find the best way to get the stone into the wagon
Wow! Epic recovery of a beautiful piece of history to now be a part of your country garden. Great teamwork, Gayle and Alex.❤
Wow! It's such a beautiful object, well worth rescuing. Well done 👏👏👏 Brilliant vid.
the dynamic duo,great job ladys you two definitey inspire others, to bridges to stone slabs you ladys rock.
The most IMPORTANT thing is that you take care of you! Your community will always be here for you when you have the health and inclination to post. Love from Australia ❤❤❤❤❤
Happy Mother’s Day Gail. What a wonderful video … you ladies are amazing! Beautifully achieved congratulations on such a find! It’s epic! It will have a new life in your home and the new history it will have come 100 years from now can you imagine! That stone will live on! 👏🏻 thank you for all you do ladies!
I have to say not only am I impressed with the two of you that I am impressed with that trolley that it took that weight and stood that trip
How the heck did you spot that clear bead? Wow! 😮 I think I would give it a go to get that home. It’s great! Well done Ladies! It looks perfect next to your bench! ❤
Love you two madwomen! 💕 Well done in bringing that beautiful stonework home! I’m exhausted just from watching your efforts. 💪🏻 xx
You two are nucking futs! In Alex's vernacular. Spoonerisms aside, of course your determination prevailed. You two really are something else. ❤
Wow that was the greatest advertisement for that cart.. they should sponser you!! Great mother daughter team work a beautiful journey Kudos!!
Your find is absolutely beautiful, & you both are amazing for getting it back to your home ❤❤❤❤
You two are amazing and I’m so happy you saved this amazing relic and it has an awesome home in your garden. Love the pudding doll at the end. Perfect.
"there is no try, there is only do"... and you two DID IT!! looks great!
I wouldn’t have been able to resist trying to bring that home. Well done you two!
I'm so glad you rescued this beautiful stone.
I love that! We are nothing if we are not triers! That is an awesome statement. Tired, dirty, sweaty, but still gorgeous ladies. We love your rambling, its lovely. That is the type of challenge my sons and I love. Great effort ladies.
I get excited over stones all the time. I have to be very firm with myself about not bringing them home and once a year I gather up some older ones and take them back to the place I collect from so that others may enjoy them. I would not try to haul anything that heavy. It is a massive treasure. You are both true triers.
Alex please never stop putting your little doll in different poses when you show everything you found that day, it is so cute and always makes me laugh I look forward to this part of your video 🪆🦷🦷🦷🦷 from 74 yr old grandma in Texas
The perseverance and hard work you both used to rescue this lovely piece of history was truly an extreme mudlark and definitly worth at least a cup of tea. You could even do a casting from it and maybe make more of them? I think if you find bigger ones that you can't remove, then maybe do a pencil rubbing and turn it into a painting. I am also thinking you either have a ghost, person or your latch to your front door isn't catching as from 26:05 of your video your front door periodically opens and closes.lol. Can't wait to see what else you find.
Happy Mother’s Day Gail😀
Well done ladies for saving such a wonderful piece of history. You are now forever etched in it's provenance.♥
Hello Gail and Alex! Where there's a will, there's a way...SUCCESS!! What an amazing find, it's so cool to think that its been sitting there all this time and now has a forever home...Yay!! Great job ladies, can't wait to see where it's final resting place will be. Big hugs and love from Texas!😁😍😀
So proud of you two. What an endeavoring. I have the same trolly like yours and have had it about ten years. It’s been through three moves, two dogs, gardening, and numerous outdoor concerts. Good going. Indeed.
Well done! It so deserved to be rescued, and now it resides in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Fabulous. xx Teresa 🇦🇺♥
I love your determination. Great work.
You two amaze me! Congratulations on your effort, a fantastic piece of history in your garden. Mother and daughter working so well together🩷
That was an epic adventure!!! I love that the stone mirrors the shape of the bench! You are mudlarking queens!🎉👑👑
Your madness is something I can completely relate to, but when there’s a will, there’s a way! You two rock! 🪨 💪🏼
A hand truck and a bungee cord!😊 I would find a way to get it home. It's awesome.❤
I think I would have tried a hand truck, but where there’s a will, there’s…Northern Mudlarks! The Amazon ladies!
It’s awesome that you got that wonderful stone home. It threw me back to my 20swhen I lived in Fairbanks Alaska and I was forever hauling large rocks home for my garden retaining walls. You deserve more than a cup of tea! Perhaps nice dram of fine whiskey. Kudos to the manufacturer of the trolley!
Such determination. And I totally understand.
Bless you for persevering and getting that treasure home! ❤️💯
Desire & determination prevails 🌟you ladies rock 🪨 great job 👍preserving history ☮️🌷💜
Well that was truly amazing, a bit daft but hey, when they handed out determination you both were first in line ! I'm just glad neither one of you got hurt and the stone is stunning in the garden. That little trolley was sturdier than it looked, so congratulations on " extreme mudlarking " Love and hugs 🥰 xx
My dad always used to say to me there is no such thing as you cant!. I have never forgotten that. He is not here anymore but i always remember what he said when i do something that seems impossible. I have achieved so much in my life which i am proud of with this mindset!. You have done the same retrieving the sandstone now you can make it something stunning for your home and be proud that you got it there with your determination
Well done ladies!
Wow wow wow that was amazing! What a beautiful piece for the garden!!
I love your adventurous spirits! Congratulations on completing this massive undertaking! Brilliant job!
I really love to watch. Mother daughter works so closely together.
Such a wonderful effort ladies for your garden. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter Forever!
Two determined ladies bringing new life to an old stone. Well done 👏👏
Your perseverance and persistence paid off, what an achievement and a really nice addition to your garden
Now that’s determination 👏👏👏👏👏 well done guys you did it and it looks amazing. Congratulations. Take care and thanks for bringing us along. See you in the next one 👍🙏❤️
A beautiful piece of history! Thank you for salvaging it!
You two are so charming. Every time I watch one of your videos, I feel like you're living the life I've always dreamed of living. Great work on getting that stonework back to the car. My back was hurting just watching you do it. lol
Well done ladies, i was pushing it along with my mind,lol. its an incredible find and you really did need that cup of tea.
Wow, I had doubts about that little cart but you guys really put it through paces. Actually a good review of the cart under rugged circumstances. Such a great piece you found. I love it!
Alex humming the theme song while riding the rock cracked me up. Looking forward to the huge anchor and anvil rescues next.
Love you two from an admiring old Aussie
That was pretty amazing. You two deserve a kudos for getting and moving it. And...it's so beautiful. We'll done
