Our first mudlark of the year! Mudlarking with new friends
Come with us on our first mudlark of 2020 to the River Tweed in Berwick, North East England. Today we are joined by our lovely friend, Tom, for our first collaboration! We also stumble upon something very unexpected just when we thought the day was over...

Sorry! We forgot to mention the beautiful shells in the round-up! Tom found them and gave them to me (Alex). We have never seen shells from UK shores of that size before! Has anyone got any idea what creatures made them? Gail & Alex x

They are called dog winkles, here in New England. A predatory sea snail, not edible like periwinkles are. The unexpected bottle dump was amazing, the bottles were Victorian. Have you ever found any Victorian pot lids? Peace & Happiness...Cheval

Hey, Not sure what you're on about? Mum was born in Wallsend next to the shipyards but grew up abroad so never developed an accent. I was born in Hexham and grew up locally in Northumberland. You don't need a strong northern accent to be from the North lol. Alex & Gail x

@@NorthernMudlarks You both have lovely voices and are very articulate. I enjoy your banter and descriptions immensely. :)
Lovely video; your videography is so good Alex and your enthusiasm for history and mystery is a joy to behold. It really was a pleasure meeting you both, and thank you so much for such an effusive endorsement of my channel 🙂
The glass bauble reminds me of Van Gogh's The Starry Night.
I love this. I am a follower of Tom, Nicola and Sci- finds and i found you a couple of months ago. I love it all.
I have been a Motion Picture Technician for the last 30 years, I am a Gaffer, and whomever it is that is the Cinematographer, is doing an exceptional job.
Alex we would love to see your skull collection :)

Have you ever considered cutting the pipe stems into bead size and making necklaces out of them?

Have Tom take you to the dump he took Nicola to! You will freak out! It was amazingly loaded with thousands of bottles and lead toys, etc... Cheers!
Wow Tom I found u again beautiful video love it now I follow new friends too have a amazing afternoon thank u Tom 👍
I just love watching you and your mother explore together. So many precious memories together. Also the treasure bits and pieces you find are just amazing! Enjoying your channel from the US.
The glass balls could be old fishing net floaters.
I am so happy!!! My 3 favorite Mudlarkers together! Hello Tom! Georgia,USA
I love that square piece of glass!
I love that Tom is with you on this mudlark, he's one of my favorites. Absolutely beautiful bottles at the surprise bottle dump! Thanks for giving Tom the nice shout out, he's a great guy. I love your tiny Hag stones 🧡
My my Tom has been busy. He has had some lovely company lately.
The sea glass with patterns is so cool. Thank you for another fabulous video with lots of wonderful information and history.
I think that piece of wood would cool down glass blowing rods and shape a glass bottle. Love your relationship. Always stay close!
Thankyou for sharing your adventure. I think that bauble is lovely.
Fabulous finds, far too many to tell you my favourites or we'll be here all night! Lovely to see you together with Tom :) It's great to mudlark with good company :D

We are going on a road trip in April, so will be near Berwick for a few days. We'd love to come on a mudlark with you both! It sounds like great fun :D
Sweet! My wife and I love your videos! Thank you and your 'Mum' for being so wonderful! Hello from California!
The skull reminds me of a Star Wars ship.
The green not to be taken bottle would make a nice vase, all you need to do is sand the broken edge a little

That's what I thought too...
All those glass pieces would look nice together as a mosaic wall piece or table top or even a pieced together for a stained glass window mosaic.
First time I see a cod marble in a cod bottle!
The most beautiful treasure finders I have ever seen!
Those Berwick stems would make a nice centre “bead” for a necklace
do you want to show us some of your collection? I would love to see your found marble collection for example! and I would also love to see more jewelry-making videos, also from you alex!
Little skulls make the loveliest of sounds when made into wind chimes 👋💗
Looking forward to your next video.:)
Add a torch to your kit so in case you make a find at dusk you can have some light to explore further.Quite the instinct for finding bottle dumps, great skill to have for mudlarkers! :-)
Omg good hagstone name: Hagatha!
I found you first and now I am spoiled with your wonderful videos. The others don't compare to yours. It must be the two of you ladies💗😍
I have been watching Tom for some time now. I love his voice an dthe scenes he shows plus the way he is always cleaning up the places he goes. Susann I also watch every event you have, I wish you all your things on your list even though I cannot contribute. but maybe someday.
Really too amazing I love adventure 😘😘
cats eye is the name we called those marbles in the 50s
When the marmalade jars have the 'ribs' close together like that, that pattern is called 'reeded'. Maybe at one time patterns were made on old handmade pots using reeds, possibly pressing a reed mat against the clay?
Those marmalade jars would be great for plants
That skull is really cool
That brick is probably from the same place as the slag glass, it looks like the air inlets for a foundry, quite old too as it's obviously hand made! Excellent find! Alex, skulls are amazing natural sculptures! I've collected quite a few over the years.... I feel that not only are they very.... organically beautiful?.... but they hold the personality of the species... don't ever be embarrassed to see the beauty in nature, even from it's more macabre side. :)
The hag stone that you found looks like a cartoon of a dino head. I love collecting rocks that I see images in. Love your videos, they are so peaceful, thank you.
It’s fantastic you’re both back I have missed you. That little hag stone is so cute look lovely on a black lace xx❤️❤️
Your excitement when finding the bottle dump is palpable! Great finds. I'd love to stumble upon such a treasure trove!
The bauble reminds me of the glass plant self-waterers with the stem broken off
The Schwoos at the end! ❤️ I think you should take some of those beautiful glass and pottery bits and make stepping stone portraits of them.
The bauble that was gifted to you should be UV glass on the green spots. It's part of a garden ornament that glows. I have one, and mine does. Lovely find.
So glad all my fav mudlarkers are getting together...
The shells are magickal!
You two are so fun to watch! Thank you! I really enjoy your videos!
Best find of the day? A lovely outing together down by the river!
Hallo New Year!!! I wanted to reply to your query re my great great grandmother's jugs with all the interesting bits glued to them: no, sadly I haven't got them anymore but I did find out what that form of folk art is called. Memory Jugs! Not an isolated form of art, and I had no trouble finding many examples and even some eerie folk tales connected to them! Gotta go, there's a new Northern Mudlarks video out and I haven't seen it yet!!
I am glad to see you joining up with Tom, I am a subbie of his too. Thanks so much for taking us along. I love all the glass with patterns and the beautiful marble.
Tom!! I'd recognize those wellies anywhere. So he remains the mysterious, elusive larker. Looks like you had an amazing day all around, from the banks of the river to the bottle dump. What an amazing adventure! Thrilled for you.
I feel like it would be really if you strung together a bunch of pieces of pipe stems together like beads to make a long necklace out of them. It would be a rather modern look made out of pieces of history.
Wow...Tom certainly gets around! I have just watched him with Nicola White in Yorkshire x
I was bottle digging near Berwick recently and carried as many out as I could and left the others by my whole. Imagine my shock and surprise when I came back in the morning to find that they were all gone. If anyone knows who did this please let me know.

Great work ladies and gent! By the way...I adore skulls too! Keep gettin duuuuurty!
I never believed in paranormal activity until I experienced it for myself. Welcome to the club!
There's something very organic about your channel....love the video's
I enjoy watching y'all mudlarking. The two of you are so adorable . Keep up the good work. Love from Alvarado, Texas
Wonderful finds! That happenstance bottle dump was amazing! I love your adventures. Thanks so much for taking us along! :D
Great Video. I have been watching Tom's videos for a long time and enjoy them as well. Nice to see that you came across a new bottle dump. You will have to go back to that for another video to see what you can find there. Loved the first video of the new year. You and your mom take care. Your friend Steve Bonds from Bay City Michigan USA
Commenting as u found that bit of green tube. I'm sure u found out what it could be by the end. But I think it's off those neon coloured signs u see. That are filled with different color gasses that light up when electrified. 🤔 Coz they are made from hand blown tubes.. I could be totally wrong lol. Love the vids, great find. Especially the A for Alex bottle stopper. We all know how much u love those 😊lol Edit.. Omg I too have a skull collection 😵😂😂 great minds think alike💀
14:31 it almost looks like gladis has a small smile right underneath her eyes :) so cute
I love y’all and Tom I’ve been waiting for y’all to do a Collaboration for a long time! Y’all both have such good music and relaxing interesting content!
🐚Great day with Tom, fantastic finds I love bones there fascinating, beautiful 🐚
I love accidental finds like that. What at a great day, thank you
Oh my god the fossil you found at 6:15 makes me think of a really really old chopped of finger with a nail on it!
The little class green vile as you called it , I believe it is a candle that was attached to electricity string for christmas lights. They were surrounded by a glass or foil to make them look brighter. I grew up with such lights on the tree. Susann
Really enjoy your videos. And absolutely love greensleeves.
Hello from the East Coast of Canada, gorgeous Prince Edward Island! While we are home to dozens of lovely, sandy beaches, where mudlarks abound, they are currently under ice and snow! So...doubly enjoying your larks!
Those stoneware jars once cleaned would make nice house warming or hostess gifts. Fill them with spatulas, wooden spoons, and other kitchen gadgets and you have a great gift!. I have a small crock I found in a dump and I have it next to my stove filled with ladles and spoons I often use while cooking. My brother was in The Coast Guard and stationed in Kodiac for several years. There was a beach he went to that was always deserted except for glass balls much like yours that Tom gave you. He was told they were part of Japanese fishing nets. They had a loop blown on to it and it was enclosed so a net was sewn onto it and it kept the nets floating on top of the water. Each fisherman had his own color or design glass balls and that is how nets were identified.
Loved the video, we had a holiday in Berwick last year staying at spittle beach we found sea glass I just wish we had walked round under the bridges you found some great bits and bobs, keep up the great work ladies.
Nice finds☺ And the bottle dump, a good surprise. Subscribed to Tom's channel
So appreciative for taking me along on your outing. Loved it. Blessings from California, America.
Now you have a new tip to dig!!👍👍
The skull is lovely! I love Tom's larks!
Amazing finds thank you so much regards Elaine Kayes x
Awesome I love Tom as well!
Awesomeness 😍👍. My youngest daughter loves her skulls too. I just love y'all 🥰 you have such a wonderful relationship 🤗
Already a subscriber to Tom. I love listening to him as he meanders along! Thank you for sharing your finds again. Another good video.
The bottle dump you found in the woods was so exciting!!!

You was lucky to find them bottle and finds keep up the good. From shirley from new Bern, north carolina u.s.a .❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😊🎉🎉
Tom was my first experience of KZread mudlarking. I was browsing around looking if there was anyone on here who liked beachcombing on holiday as much as I do and came across his channel and I’ve been hooked on larking ever since although I’ve yet to find anywhere local to me to have a go. I love his videos! Amazing luck stumbling across that bottle dump!
That is a amazing day, and Tom is also a great mudlarker ! Love RINI
Wow you really do have a nose for a bottle dump! Wish we could aquire a bit more of that skill haha. Cool you met up with Tom the balls he found were beautiful and the skull always love a skull :)
I thought you'd found a land mine for a second! 😳 Hope you find lots more beautiful dinnerware fragments...those are my favorite.
What a fantastic adventure!! Wonderful finds, thanks for sharing!!!
another great show. Nice finds, Ladies
Some really lovely bottles! What an amazing stroke of luck finding that dump! x
Another exciting adventure with y'all, I enjoyed it like all of your adventures. Keep on keeping us interested 🤔and thinking.
