Another lovely video! I am a Jaw Harp player and have performed with my wife, a singer and dulcimer player all over the US… Jaw Harps are one of the oldest musical instruments, found in cultures all over the world…Too bad it is so knackered…What a day for great finds!!! Keep them coming gals! Blessings to you both always!
Thank you not only for these odysseys but your efforts to identify the flora around you. The montages and music you edit together are delightful... a balm.
I just love listening and watching Mom and Daughter interacting with each other. You guys have such a wonderful relationship. I just love you both so much 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The short clip of the sweet little bumble bee just warmed my heart.
Vincent van Gogh painted starry night in an insane asylum while detoxing from absinthe.
Awww....the little piggy...heart melty.. Lots of goodies and such pretty flowers Love watching you so much xxoo
I LOVE that crazy, Amazing Sculpture!!! Lolll... That little pig was a fun find 🥳 🎉
The pig and the black button, so beautiful, this little piggy went all the way home. Mom did you not buy Alex any toys as a child, LOL. You have a great imagination.
I love your little animal and bottle seal!! Awesome finds!! I think your black mourning buttons would make aln awesome display in a frame to hang on your wall!! Miss seeing your Northern Mudlarkers Make!! LOVE ALL OF YOUR CHANNELS!! ❤😊 keep on doing what you two creative ladies do!!
I so look forward to your videos, they never disappoint.
That piece of glass that look like shells will make a beautiful crown for a handmade doll
Never made a comment about the window but ; 'luck of the irish' belongs there this week in my humble opinion and good bless all whom reads this !

Wow thats a bold statement
Love the tooth and eye sculpture! The Irish pig is so cute.
These treasure hunts are always anticipated and never fail to be good. Thanks for taking us along.❤
Love the nature segments accompanied by the music as well as all that you present to us, thank you ladies, xxx
Love your videos and when you show the wild flowers just makes me happy. I'm wishing my garden had had them in it. Thanks for the lovely flowers and day 🌼🌹.
Wonderful day out !!! Love the little pig !! ❤🦘
Tailors thimbles have no tops --- to keep condensation from accumulating inside and so that the tip of their thinble finger can stick out of the top to feel and move the fabric--- thank goodness for the site "Historical Tailoring Master Classes" for this info.
Hi from America, Another super video from two super ladies. You always bring a smile to me. Thanks, Take care and be safe.
Alex, your sculpture is so creative and so much fun. Keep on creating.
That bottle seal would make a lovely and unique pendant.
That was lovely, thanks so much! I haven't been to Kew in 20 years and it was fantastic to see it again - I really appreciated your effort
It's a wild boar. They have long noses. Neat! What great finds. I love going parking with the two of you. 😍
I would love to see you both making things with your lovely finds, Kind regards...Kim
I love the Irish piggy and so does Charlotte😅
The piggy and the reference to Connemara made me think of Will Hay's brilliant film Oh, Mr. Porter! i'm gonna watch it again :) ...Fantastic finds again Ladies..
How wonderful ! Many thanks !
I’m guessing the little gem stone animal is a pig because of it’s tail. Lovely fascinating video as usual. Thank you ladies!☺️💐💐 I love your sculpture Alex! It’s really quirky! 😂

Lots of breeds of hogs have very long snouts, too.
Love the little pig! I raised 100s of them many years ago. Cool finds all around.
Have you ever thought of using your vulcanite stoppers in a path or walkway? Seems they would hold up great and be a good anti slip for moist days.
The story about the bottle seal was especially interesting because there is a Pernod Ricard distillery and bottling facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
The lucky pig charm for the window..will bring you good luck for your home 🏡
So many great finds ,Piggy in the window for sure .💚 Your tooth and eye sculpture is hilarious and I love it ! One of my favorite things to find is pieces of the sponge wear ,and you found some really lovely examples that day .
What lovely finds. With interesting history of course about the glass bottle embellishment. Oh but the most wonderful find was the little green pig. That was fabulous. Gail, I'd love to see you replace its little silver belly band and hanging loop. I'm sure Alex would love to wear it as a necklace. I know i certainly would. Thanks for a lovely lark. 😁 xx
Love all the great finds again. Alex I like your sculpture.
Another wonderful video ladies and great finds. The Jews harp blew my mind. Here in the southern Appalachian states I thought this originated here. But then I remembered the Scots settled this area. Great job ladies.
Love your sculpture Alex ,what a conversation piece.👍
The loop on the back of a button is called a shank.
@northernmudlarks I was inspired by the design of one of your mourning button finds. I am building an acoustic guitar and carved the shell inlay for the headstock in a similar design as your button. ❤ Your videos are so peaceful and fun. Thank you!
Another wonderful mudlarking adventure. As soon as I saw that tooth I knew it was human as I have several of mine including an incisor that I had to have removed when I was a child. I kept them and still have them over 50 years later. Some lovely pieces of glass for the stained glass project too.
Ladies you found some wonderful treasures, I think that bead looks like a pig/boar, very interesting story about the bottle seal, thank you for researching and sharing this, and the codd marbles are certainly building up, hopefully one day you will find a mouth harp, tfs x Julie
What great finds! I'm in love with the Irish pig!💚 He deserves a place in the window. Since 2005, absint is legal again in the Netherlands. I hope you have a wonderful week, hopefully with less rain than here in the Netherlands. (It almost feels like autumn. 🙄)
I've been with you since the beginning and I'm so glad that now you have a 102,000 subscribers🎉❤ 💖🥰
Gail, long ago you were thinking about creating a database of all your sponge ware finds. Did that ever happen? I think it would be a marvelous addition to the Internet. You've always got lots going on so no apologies if time has not allowed you the opportunity to do it. But, know I'm still waiting. LOL. A wonderful video this week, ladies! Thank you for bringing us along. Love and hugs from me in New Mexico USA.
i'd love to see your mourning button collection. u never see a duplicate found from all the mudlarkers on utube. the daisy-star button was my fav find. always love your shots of wildflowers. i screenshot them to use as inspiration when i draw & watercolor greeting cards. thanx!
Love your lovely house and the look you are going for. I do the same thing. Really enjoy shopping flea markets, thrift stores and estate sales. I was in England in 2019 just outside Birmingham. My next door neighbor and I went to all the carboot sales in the area. One or 2 almost every day of the week. Simply loved it.
Fab hunt ladies so many interesting finds.adore the little pig? bead 😊x
Hey Ms. Gail, that glass seal was from an Antique 1890's French wine bottle... L. Pernaud Couvet Thanks for all the hard work you girls put into your video's!!! Great Work!
That glass seal is great Gail! Can’t wait for the history there🧐
Hi Gail and Alex thank you for a really interesting mudlark, the pig and the bottle seal should go onto the window ledge as they are both wonderful finds. The clay marble with two different clays i think mean that they used up bits and bobs left over from other things to make cheaper marbles for the poorer kids but actually i think the fact they have lasted so long makes them still very beautiful. Wishing you both a good week ahead.
When I first saw the pig, I thought," Oh,it's the Gluck Swine!" In my family a large chunk of my ancestors is German. During Medieval times in Germany it was the landowners responsibility to provide roasted pig for the serfs/ peasants that worked their land for the New Years feast. The Gluck Swine is the lucky pig. I also thought it was a charm from China for people born in the year of the pig. I love that Alex found it and I hope it brings luck to the entire family and household.
Please do a video on what you make with the beautiful glass pieces and pottery and other things you make. ❤😊❤
I love the eye and tooth sculpture ❤
What a fun video. I love the marble piggy. My mother-in-law was Irish and I gave her a lovely Connemara and silver rosary. It's a beautiful stone.
Love, love, love your sculpture!
I love that you share the beauty of Scotland with us. Lovely .💕
The lead round piece looks like a parm guard used to protect the parm of your hand when sewing leather.
Ah yes I’m from New Zealand & had some extremely sore head moments after having a few absinthe drinks in the 90’s 😊 thank you for another amazing video 👍🏻❤
Some fantastic finds ladies and your glass buttons would look amazing on a White knitted cardigan ❤ . And peek a boo pudding dolls I see you ❤
Really great finds. 😊
Wonderful finds. I was wondering if the lead rounded find was a palm guard. I am probably wrong but it might be interesting to investigate it. 🔎 Love watching you lovely ladies on your adventures finding treasures and sharing them with us. Be safe and Peace ✌️ to All
Amazing video! How you find those tiny little beads Alex is amazing! You have amazing eyesight! To find something so tiny, congrats! The buttons are beautiful! The broken cup was so close! Felt with you ladies when it was broken 🙈…your lovely window of wonders so fun to see at the end! And the stories you bring to treasure and thank you for the research you do so lovingly! See you next week! 🌹🌹P.S. Alex is certainly a tooth expert…great story wow!
You finally found your lost Tower!😊

That is exactly what I thought too!
If you are coming to Carlisle Cumbria, you should stop at the cricket club next to the Eden bridge, as they have a archaeology dig that anyone can help them, digging up Roman finds, when our local museum has been refurbished the finds will go on display.
I really love when you find some history and bring it to us!
sometimes those thimbles had leather tops. those are forget-me-nots. love them! love the little animal bead, that one from Connemara needs to go into the window of wonders.
Fun finds
I freaking LOVE the sculpture. As a Human Remains Detection Dog handler AND a Forensic Science and Anthropology nerd I appreciate the weirdness
My mum and dad did not have perfect smiles. My dad lost one tooth in the front, and he got a plate for just the one tooth, but on the day his mum died, he was upset and accidentally swallowed it. It got stuck in his throat. His older brother pulled it out, but it cut the back of his throat. He refused to wear it again and instead had all his good teeth pulled with the filled ones to get a full set of false teeth. My mum did the same because after they had perfect smiles. Now my mum said she regretted not keeping her teeth as long as possible, but it was a popular thing to do then.
Hello from California, US :) Alex’s denture sculpture is amazing, I love it ♥️ you both are genius artists!
Alex your photography is so beautiful, love all the flowers. Very interesting finds especially the little pig and bottle badge. The information you found on the bottle badge is so interesting. Keep up the good work.❤️
I want that tooth and eyeball sculpture! It's amazing. Great adventure with magnificent finds. Love watching your videos. Cheers!
Wonderful finds, that little pig bead was great find. Thank you for showing your great video. Keep the hunt for more gems find. Your friend shirley from new Bern,north carolina u.s.a ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉a 😮🎉😅😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hello from South France - Pernod Couvet was famous for "absinthe" bottles also established at Auvers sur Oise in France end of XIX to beginning XXth century; Robert Lewis Stevenson also apreciate that kind of drink .... a part of little Story ... thanks for this incredible find
Love that little piggy, it surely has to go in the window 😊
I love your curiosity bell jar❣️
Great success on your treasure safari today!😊 I'm English with Irish ancestors also! ❤love from across the Pond.
Alex! That sculpture is amazing!!!!!!!! I love that kind of stuff, I have a giant collection of bones and bits and teeth and feathers and whatnots that I've found over the years. Never found any dentures or glass eyes though, not yet anyway! Cheers.
OMG Alex! That teeth and eye sculpture is awesome! Some great finds also.
The little pig bead is probably serpentine. They used to make them 40-mumble years ago, but yours is much better work than the cheap Chinese ones I remember, so I'd assume it's much older, from when people cared about things like craftsmanship even for novelty beads. Good find!
Re the blue sky appearing...My mother used to say that "it will not rain ONLy if there is enogh blue sky to make a sailor's pants." Don't know how we are supposed to know how big the sailor is, but I grew up hearing her say that! My mom had a LOT of sayings like that!🤗🍀♥
It is a Pig bead! It has a long snout (which wild pigs DO have plus the curly tail. It's a Pig! I don't think it's Jade but it might be serpentine or adventurine. It could be Jadeite or nephrite. Or it could be Jasper, which is a type of quartz and when chemically dyed can resemble Jade. Quartz can scratch glass but cannot be scratched, contrary to Jade. Agate and Sardonyx can be dyed to look like Jade, also. Jade has a very high density and feels very heavy when tossed up and caught back in the hand. Jade is a bit costly and sought after and it would be wonderful if it was Jade. Hard to tell till cleaned up and tested. Again you never know. I just love hanging out in Rock Shops and have a large collection of stones myself. Cheers 👍💕
Has to be the Irish lucky pig for the window, great finds, love the Pernod history it was the fashionable drink in the UK late seventy,s X
That looks like it could be a Shark tooth. I love your videos. I look forward to them every week..
You should try doing some press flower projects. So many pretty flowers 💐
The thimble may be a tailors thimble which had no top, I still have my Mums she trained as a tailoress. The white round object with one hole may be the centre of a fabric or thread button. Great video❤
Sara would love your cress, actually looks cool!
The Sculpture is sooooo funny with all the eye balls😂😂😂
Alex, that sculpture is incredible!!
Very llllllllonnnngggg time spend on each thing! Would like to see more things.
Looks like a harp to me ❤😊 it is missing pieces. So so cool wish i could go mudlarking with you both.
Love the tooth modif ! If Andy Warhall can paint a Cambells soup Tomato can. Your sculpture of teeth n eyes are great. T Shirts!!!!!!! Yaaaaa
uit's a BEAD, IT's got LEGSSSS I love you guys so much.'
Such wonderful finds! Love the mourning buttons, and the pig ! Oh the little knob hinge thing is on a flute or clarinet goes over the hole to create the note, sorry mind is skipping on name at the moment, I am amazed at all the beautiful flowers are you and at 25:28 the "frilly" plant in front of you is called "sweet Annie" aka wormwood it smells like licorice and has medicinal properties and is great in satchels for your clothes drawer, it keep bugs away and make your clothes smell good, and it was a cure for malaria, as it helped kill the parasites that caused it. oh my I added this before watching the end the glass seal, ..how oddly curious that you were standing right in from of wormwood then! wow! . Dames rocket I believe the whole plant is edible, but need to look that up. The small dot cabochon looks like the dot in a guitar neck or instrument. I just went ewww on the human tooth lol :) I am curious if you ever thought of using the glass stoppers in ceramic, point partial in the ceramic, it should make a great hot pot holder!
Alex , the wind sure brought you good luck ! That pig is amazing! love going on adventures with you and your mom ! 💗
Fabulous day ladies!! Fantastic finds!! Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to see what you create next!! Love both of your excitement and enthusiasm be safe❤❤🇨🇦
Great find Alex. The pig bead is beautiful.
