There's so many lovely beaches in Scotland. Hard to choose just 1. Haven't been to Kirkcaldy in years though. I love the patter you two have, always making me laugh with your banter. Thanks for another fab video.. they just aren't long enough. Could listen to you both all day!

Hi Nicole and Craig, What an amazing time at the beach! I loved every minute of it. ❤ The magic words did it again! What an amazing bottle stopper! I think the bottle stopper and the clay marble are the 🌟 finds of the day! The glass and pottery pieces are beautiful! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, filled with sunshine and amazing finds! Sending you love and hugs, xoxo ❤️, Ilona

Yes the magic words must have a deep meaning and clearly call up the finds :) I think your eyes get more used to searching around by that point though and you find more things.... Much love to you too !! x
Wonder-Full finds! I look forward to watching a new episode each week, thank you both for making these! And I really love Craig's music, reminds me of Hawaiian melodies from my days on Kauai and has the same uplifting effect for me.

I don’t know if anyone ever says so but, gorgeous music Craig Mudlark! A thoroughly enjoyable lark as always. You found some gorgeous pieces this week! I didn’t know the bit of history regarding clay marbles. I have always wondered why they seem to come in so many different sizes. Brilliant job! Cheers folks, …Laura C from New Hampshire

You can cut shape of big pottery pieces like that for jewelry creatives. 😊 make more background pop color clear with sea glass and small pieces with the pottery art. 😊

I've cut pottery pieces from the bottle dumps and made them into necklaces :) That is always amazing!
I just would sit in the middle of the shell field and get all close up to the ground and hunt around me. Dig alittle, see what's below. Then scoot over and do it again! Lol.

Nice finds, I’ve only been to Kirkcaldy beach once and was obsessed with the kiln stilts! I found a clay marble a couple of days ago at Castle Street, I never thought much of them , always wished I was finding a Codd, but I’ve become increasingly fond of their smoothness and soft fawn and grey colours.
@scottishmudlarking

I love the pyramids so much! The ones with numbers and glazing are my favourite ones :) I do love Codd marbles more than clay marbles but lately we've been much luckier with clays!
Back again after a while out -One of the remote beaches near Campbeltown, took the long way round not the ferry! Dog help you dig for the rare glass! At least there is no chippy where you've seen the seagulls and the CROWCLUXCLAN present... FOLIAGE(foilage - was he from N'Ireland)... 23.00 that piece of pottery is like a shark's fin! 25.00 nice variety Nicole, like the shell! Notice you normally say at the end 'keep the lights on' - would you say it if lived in the Shetlands during the Summer ?

The acoustic guitar music is beautiful, and it really complements the channel and the beach sounds. I hand-fed a crow cat biscuits on the beach the other day. There's a large family of them but only one crow will do this. It knows me but was still very wary about taking food from my hand. In the winter I am dressed in black and always 'pecking at the ground', so it possibly endears me to it a bit, plus I always take food.

Today he got some monkey nuts but wouldn't take them from my hand. He always flies to meet me, almost to my feet, when I am in its area.
I'm at kdy beach quite often, it would be pretty cool to one day see you guys there too haha :)

That bottle stopper at the end,with the “T” on it,is it Lignum vitae? It’s my favorite wood,very fun to carve. They used to make bowling balls out of it! My only beach experience in Scotland was Loch Ness,found a few really nice stones there,actually. I also saw a rainbows end right onto the River Clyde,in Glasgow! Got a nice pic of that.

I think it might be Lignum Vitae! The texture is sort of brown with bits rather than solid black as it is for Vulcanite stoppers :) Oh Loch Ness would be amazing - never been up there!

Wait,WHAT??? You’ve never been to Loch Ness??? Listen,I know it’s touristy,but it’s incredible,the water is like black tea,the surrounding landscape is like a dream,the wind that blows across you is like a poem,you can read it,as it crosses over you.

Also,the bottle stopper,you can tell if it’s Lignum vitae if you place some oil on it. That will reveal the tight wood grain. If it’s vulcanite,it will be uniform,no grain.

@@scottishmudlarking was thinking more about the residue of radium coated instrument panels, that were incinerated and put in landfill ( I think it was nearer Dalgety bay to be fair ) I think the area around the sailing club had the highest contamination. SEPA do now claim it's safe, but avoid anything that looks like a dial.
I must admit, I like beachcombing more then mudlarking, but you find interesting things when you do both things thenI have so much to do in my garden and my neighbors so I am far behind when it comes to KZread-videos. ( my closest neighbor have a cabin close but they live one and a half hour away and in Norway so I plant for them, watering, take care of their robot-lawn mover etc. They have done stuff for me so that goes both ways. You are lucky that isn`t shaking like I do, can not do any hobbies any more, that is sad. Thanks for the videotrip.
