I stayed for a few days in the ancient village of Tynemouth, and went out on the rocks to see what the sea might have dropped.

Thank you. I'm at a loss for some of the items this hunt, however the smooshed pottery with green glaze inside looks familiar. Alas, I am unable to place exactly why it looks familiar; perhaps it reminds me of childhood ceramic projects? It was such a treat to see the little starfish. I've only ever found starfish once they've finished their watery life. Crafting projects on the horizon? Yippee! That's going to be exciting to follow along with. Thank you again for sharing your seaside adventure and I look forward to the next one. :-)

If ever there was a time to tackle some of those projects, now might be it. 🙂 Unfortunately for me, most of my materials and tools are at home and I'm locked down elsewhere; but fortunately for me, some of my projects can be attempted here and the lack of other possibilities is guiding me into doing them. 🙂

Thanks for that, the education as well as the exploration , I've never ventured further up that coast than Sandsend, you certainly whetted my appetite .Such interesting finds and the rock formations are equisite. Looking forward to perusing your art at a future time.

@tomburleigh9261 4 жыл бұрын

Sandsend is a lovely point to have reached though, there's plenty of gorgeous South of there that I have yet to explore. My crazy mudlarking dream is to get a camper van, and drive down to the Jurassic Coast, then all the way up the Eastern coast to Inverness, mudlarking, metal detecting, beach combing and fossil hunting all along the way. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you manage to explore a bit further up. 🙂

7:40. it's a piece of drainage pipe, the ridges hold the bonding cement and help to give better grip when a plain end is inserted. Great video. Louie.

Thanks Louie, I haven't seen a drain pipe in such light coloured clay before, but I rarely get to this side of the country and I know they make bricks out of similar clay a bit further south. 🙂

The stones you picked up that had holes drilled in them. Could you explain more about them? I don't think I have ever heard of these. Thank you for taking us along on your jaunts! Your videos are very enjoyable.

Hagstones, sometimes called witch stones, Odin Stones, Holey Stones... are usually hard stones with softer bits, which the sea, or rivers erode away over time. Sometimes it will be caused by a dimple in the surface of the stone having another stone in, and the action of the water turning the smaller stone like a drill... sometimes it's the water banging the hard stone against other stones, over and over, till the softer part of it is pulverised. And thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my videos 🙂

I have always liked the seaside. It holds a certain magic and i can spend hours looking into a rockpool as there are so many things to see. The added attraction would of course be looking for seaglass. The ones you found are really well tumbled and ready to be converted into jewellry or a picture. Am glad you had a good time at the seaside. Looking forward to yr next video already. Tammy🌻

Hello Tom. I watch your videos over and over for their calming/soothing effects and enjoy them immensely. NOTE: Per your request, the bowl-shaped object with the ribbing all around it was in everyone's home during the times when kerosene and oil lamps were abundant. It is simply a form of match safe. In fact, I still use one just like this. Put stick matches in it, take one out when needed, and quickly strike it down across the ribs to strike the match. I do hope I was the one to tell you--am I?

The white object with the round marks on the side looks like a match holder. (best guess) The hole would hold wood matches and you would strike them on the side of the round holder. In the early days, if you smoked you would need to have matches readily available so having something like this to hold your matches for easy access and striking was quite common. The slope of the side of the object makes sense because tht would allow the stability to pull out a wood matchstick and strike it without needing to hold securely hold the container.

Thanks Sue, I'm a little sad I didn't get to hunt for some fossils in Whitley Bay, the good weather only lasted for this outing... but I at least got to walk around and see the Spring tide combined with the tail end of a storm crashing waves so hard that the spray reached the road. I'm glad you can get similar enjoyment in New Zealand 🙂

As a I child I would sit by the tide pools, day dreaming, imagining tiny mer-people living in them and that they would surface and talk to me and tell me wondrous secrets of the sea.

Aw, that sounds like a lovely way to spend some time as a child. Turns out the ceramic piece is a Match holder, and the threads down the side are for striking matches on. It's wonderful some of the things I've learned 🙂 And I'm glad you enjoyed the memories my video was able to trigger. 🙂
