I wonder at times if we'll see the craft room? You showed a video of the start of the renovation 😊

Oh MY!!~ That TV. I have a memory to tell you. When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, those little Pencil Sharpener TVs were out. A boy in my room made a little pad of paper with the cover turned over the top to make a place for the TV to sit upon. He then placed it on top of his desk on a corner. The TVs had a cartoon picture glued to the front of the screen. Anyway, when I saw his little writing pad get up, I had to make one too, so I did and that was the first part of my being a writer came from. What a memory. Oh a very long time ago. I was born in 1953 and was 7 back then in 1960. And now I am 70. I am glad that seeing that little TV when you picked it up made that memory come flooding back!

Orange Crush was really tasty , especially when it was real cold on a hot summer day.

I love how the little doll visited all of the finds😂

I had a 1962 VW in 1971 and it was blue. It looked very much like the one you found. All the beautiful green mosses on the trees! We live in Western Colorado where it’s always too dry for moss. It’s really beautiful where you live!

Was so chuffed for Alex when she found the whole pudding doll. I got a pang of childhood nostalgia when Gail found the glass tumbler. We had these as kids. ❤

The little doll was a great find. I love both channels so much I try to project myself actually there. I would very much miss both channels if ever you both stopped. Respect to you both Gail & Alex. Another vid to compliment my day Thank you.

Thanks Gail and Alex for a very enjoyable video, I appreciate you both climbing through brambles and glass to find these unique treasures. Love your pudding doll and her trip around the finds table during filming. Have an awesome week.

I loved the "where's Waldo" with the pudding doll. So fun.

I love the way that you staged the tiny doll with your finds!

Alex congratulations on finding the whole pudding doll! It's so adorable with its little painted face and cute little bottom. You might have to start wearing that different cap more often since it seemed to bring you "new/different cap" luck. Did you take the nettle root bottle home with you? Alex is right, it looked like a natural sculpture. Aren't you ever afraid that the badger might be at home in its set when you're digging around and come out in an aggressive manner? The green car is a Volkswagen Beetle. Lots of different finds in different colors in that rubbish dump you visited. Always love my Northern Mudlarks videos! Thank you for seeing me through this very rainy, windy and stormy day here near the coast of eastern North Carolina. The holes in that stone basin could hold chains or ropes to suspend it as a bird feeder. Alex, in one of your previous posts, you came up with a new spoonerism: Burly Swedes...if you ever come across any real Burly Swedes who're single, send them over my way! 😅😅 Fun fact for you: Pepsi-Cola was born here in my hometown of New Bern, NC, in Caleb Bradham's pharmacy. It was originally called "Brad's Drink" and he created it to be a digestive aid. The pharmacy is still standing in its original location, but is no longer a working pharmacy; it's now a museum dedicated to the history of Pepsi-Cola.

I absolutely love all of your videos. I especially liked seeing the moss on the dormant tree. I want to thank you for sharing nature as well.

Lol...loved the" spot the pudding doll" at the end...😂

The VW Bug change the split rear window to the single oval in the 1953 model. So the toy was produced after that date. I remember having one of the mazes as a child that was the 50s. I'm disappointed that you didn't bring the shallow bowl with the 4 hole around the top. I so wanted to see it cleaned up.

Maybe that bottle was a "root beer"?😂😊

Hahaha ha that made me chuckle. Thank you 😊

It's so fun for me, to see the wildlife learning that they can get an easy meal by following mudlarks! The Muddy Mudlark. I have a Scrub Jay pair that come for peanuts when I sing-song , "Kitty kitty kitty!".

I adore that mossy tree so beautiful

The mossy tree was absolutely stunning.....thank you

Such an interesting variety of random things. I happen to love that you will use the juicer, no shame in that.. it kind of feels like honoring the people that used it before. 👍

The rear window of the VW bug says it pre-1960’s when the window got larger.

The dish Alex found at 24:20 is actually a miniature alabaster, white marble bird bath that had soap stone birds that would sit in the holes around it and a base under it. I remember having one identical to it as my grandmother gave it to me many years ago. Brings back lovely memories as sadly mine broke and was thrown out and long forgotten until I saw this today.Thank you for reminding me of this.

Thank you for sharing this. I thought it was a hanging bird feeder. I have a dish that hangs with little chains.

I live near one of the few/ only places where alabaster was mined and it definitely looks like it.

I always love seeing everything cleaned up at the end.

Alex it looks like a Green 1969 VW Bug!

This is a very nice share.

Great finds. I had the television pencil sharpener in the 60s. Just fit in my pencil box for school. Such fun memories.

Orange crush was a orange soda so good we were kids and we loved it there was also a grape crush and on and on

How wonderful!

That complete glass car battery is worth a small fortune

You can use the half circle dish thing as a bird feeder by stringing some twine through the holes

I thought and said the same thing about the stone bowl...I was gutted to not see it in the roundup of finds. Hello from a very blustery, rainy day near the coast of North Carolina.

I wonder if it is translucent and was a alabaster style light shade.

Congratulations, ladies! Inquisitive, joyful hearts will always find treasures. I enjoy all of your searches and your beautiful country! Watching from Nebraska, USA...

The pudding doll is amazing! Orange Crush is a carbonated orange soda. We can still find it in the USA. It's really good and has a mild orange flavor. I also loved the tiny milk bottle and the glass battery. Nice finds. So many toys. Have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

The little yellow and orange pot , are perfect for succulents !

I've seen very few unbroken batteries found Gail

love the pudding doll, as a child in the 60s my mum had a set of your tumbler made me smile. thank you

My brothers had a Volkswagen car and a set of cowboys and first people like the one with the bow, in the early 60s. I still have my tiny TV, but mine is red.

Its a frozen Charles? LoL

It's either a Charlotte or a Charles. Too cute.

Alex, you found a Farmer's Wife lid in one of your 1st videos at your own bottle dump on your property. I love those early videos.

I am unable to get out much,so I do the things I would enjoy through you,Gail and Alex,I have also always had a hankering for a country life,so also imagine a different lifestyle that it's too late for,again,I live it through your lost tower channel.I hope you know what joy you bring to this oldie.thankyou.peace,love and mental wellness to you.❤

The Battery would make a great door stop.

old Volkswagon, 50s I think

Love all the find's! Thanks again.

This boomer went WHAT? when Alex didn't recognize the classic WV Beetle. It's only the most produced car, ever. Kids these days! (And yes, the Beetle with the elliptic back window was the earliest model.) That stone dish looked like alabaster. Gail, it looks like you found various components of a plastic toy barber set.

I just loved that little semi bald man with the distinct eyebrows ❤

So many memories from my childhood

Steve is happy for Alex!

What a fun collection! I don't know why it's taking so long for you to hit 100k.

How lucky. In America, unless you own property that has an old bottle dump you aren't allowed to go digging at any dump sights. My husband's grandmother had an old bottle dump at the edge of her property and I found some really great items. Your finds were awesome. I really enjoy your channel. (Those broken cups can be used for making pendants and earrings)

I owned a green VW bug just like that in the '60’s.

Loved this adventure. Made me want to go find my local 70s tip to get my toys back 😊

A great day ladies! Merry Christmas to you all from Ky, USA

Your doll is so adorable, such good condition as well.

Where are you guys!!! I've been looking everyday, hoping you have posted a new video. I'm having withdrawals!!! We miss you!!!

The little car is actually a 60s or 70s Volkswagen Beetle! Thanks for a mudlark video on my birthday!

Really enjoyed “this” lark. Different stuff. Wish I could’ve been with you !

I was thinking about eras and stratification and synthetics and all that. I don't recall ever seeing one of those masks with a beard, usually just the moustache. Like a cross between Toulouse Lautrec and Sigmund Freud. Thank you for uploading.

The ceramic with wire is an element (bar) from an electric fire Alex. Although I cannot find an 'Ediswan' battery there are other makes similar in appearance that have sold for around £30.

Could be a bird feeder hang in tree maybe.😊

Gail love your comment when you found the orange foundation. I laughed so hard.

That's a beautiful glass juicer.

Love the Groucho Marx mask. I can remember having one. Fun

That little “soapstone” dish with the holes looked like it maybe a hanging bird feeder if it had 3 holes for a triangular chain.. if not, you could always drill a third hole and turn it into one.

I had one of those TV sharpeners in the sixties. It had a lenticular screen with a cowboy drawing his gun, innocent times I miss very much.

Edit: ya'll found some really fantastic finds in this video, especially that Volkswagen Bug and that lead crystal vase/glass! 👏 Oh hooray!! Sunday with the Northern Mudlarks is my favorite day. I'm watching this while holding my one and only, very first, Codd marble and Clay marble (I bought them from Nicole & Craig at Scottish Mudlarking). I consider my marble collection complete now. I've been elated! I wouldn't have known who they were if you girls didn't go Mudlarking with them, so thank you very much. 😊 ✌❤🙏

I like the “ different” things you’re finding here at this location……fun !!!

A couple of comments - Orange Crush tastes pretty good and it is still sold in US. Speaking of soda, Gail your commentary on the orange foundation made me choke and laugh and nearly made Coca-cola come out my nose. Oh dearie me.

Mine was diet pepsi, but the same reaction. Nearly lost it.

You had way too much fun posing that tiny dolly around your finds, I lol'ed a couple of times! 😆 Glad to hear you're not ashamed of using tip stuff, I grew up in the 70s/80s and a trip to the trip usually meant not leaving empty handed! I make my Christmas cake in a big pottery bowl, perfect condition, I love telling people I found it at the tip lolololol

at 3:10 "him or her or them" 💜 my heart thank you for including 💜

I about spit out my coffee when you made the Donald Trump remark! I was thinking the same thing!🤣🤣🤣. What great treasures you found!

Hope you two are well and happy . Haven't seen a posting from you for weeks

Really interesting keeper finds.

That yellow pot is definitely Mid-Century and might be a sugar bowl. It's a keeper if the crack isn't too bad.

You got an American dump this time! VW beetle, orange crush is fizzlly soda, Pepsi is made in Gastonia NC makes mountain dew that I love. The Native archer. My daughter is an excellent archer. My great great grandfather was called cheif Samuel Odeh Gwareeha Smith-Swift Arrow and all his children had a middle name of Arrow. Arrowsmith the band. But

Maybe you could make a little Borrowers themed diorama or set and use the little TV with it. Go hunting for treasures with the eye of a borrower in future and expand your diorama each time? 😊

I was laughing so hard where you were showing your finds with the music playing and that little doll showed up in every shot!! Each pictures changed I laughed harder and harder!! It even in the car and that little glass tube. Thanks for that!

adore your pudding doll collection. i'm a child of the 60's, but never had any plastic items like u found. i showed my husband your glass battery which he wasn't aware of & found very interesting. thanx for a fun outing.

I call them brambles. Love your channel.

How old is your little doll Alec

Love you ladies. Love your hair Alex. God Bless

Looks like it might be Vaseline glass Alex

😂❤ love hearing Alex get all crazy excited over her 1st find! So fun I had to listen twice 😊now your lil Charlotte at home will have a buddy 😊

Thank Yous ❤️ Love the pudding doll collection 💕🍭so sweet🙋‍♀️🤶🎅⛄🦌

I love to watch you and your mom look for treasures. I also love to listen to the music and the surrounding words you’ll make a nice team you and your mom are so beautiful. It looks like you’re good friends with your mom. That’s so sweet to see God bless y’alland I’m going to continue watching

Use the piece at 21:09 as a bird feeder. Cute little meat paste pot at 26:35. The mask is a funny find.

Do you know the "Indian in the Cupboard" children's book series? It is one of my absolute favourites. Maybe try out your Indian. I'm sure you have a magical little cabinet somewhere (?) 😊❤

Gail's remark at 40:12 made me cackle! 😡🤬 🤣😂

Having found those varied treasures, another visit is definitely warranted and taking a machete with you would help. The glass battery is a gem and if you can find someone to remove the innards, the case would make a nice display item. Wishing you both a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

I think the ash tray may have come from a pub!

I believe the mask is of Mitch Miller a musician and band director he had a television show where one segment was sing along with Mitch if I remember correctly it had captions with a bouncy ball to keep time with music late 50’s early 60’s Thanks for the adventure!!! 😎🤟🏼✌🏼🖖🏼❤️

The little pudding doll popping up everywhere was so cute.

The ridged rod you picked up is from the old fashion bar heater, they got deadly hot, I was sat in front of one as a child I was lucky to wearing a wooden outfit because I need up with two lines across my blue jumper dress, Mom smelt burning and rushed into the room and found me smouldering. The bar heater was thrown out because the regulator was broken, if I had been wearing an acrylic outfit it would have melted to my back. 😹😹😹the mask was all the rage when I was little because of the 3 stooges 😹😹😹 the milk jar is actually a pot of cream, Mom use to buy it at Christmas to make the brandy cream for the pudding. KZread does it don’t know why other than to try and keep peoples numbers down. Nasty little trick that. I cannot believe it’s 7 days till Christmas 😳 Merry Christmas everyone ❤❤❤

That was a great one Gayle! "I don't think Trump has been here, has he?" you said as you picked up a used bottle of orange foundation. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Life’s too easy, so we thought we’d struggle a bit”. Had me really laughing!

Loved the many hiding places of little pudding doll in the round up. 😂

As plastic became more common I guess there will be more toys to find in that part of the dump. Lots of nostalgia there, things I remember from the 60s.

That puddin doll just made all the rounds. Definitely not camera shy, is he?

You should have taking the other cup for the handle

How nice that the badger did some hard digging for you 👍😀

Only a little in but if Alex leaves that round stone bowl I'll scream!

I really enjoyed your little outro compilation of the Puddin' posing with all of your treasures. It looks like you have a new mascot. You should use them in future videos as well. I look forward to seeing them in their new dollhouse home

The little stone dish you found,Alex, was made of alabaster. It should have had a smaller bowl as a base and the holes on the top bowl were for little white birds on metal pins to sit in. My aunt had one of these dishes she bought in Italy in 1951 on a touring holiday there. I hope this was of help. I watch your videos every week. Thank you for these. My granddaughter and i look for seaglass and fossils any time we are at the beach.
