Hunting for history in the Home Town dumpsite. Exploring and mudlarking.

I went to explore the old dumpsite of my hometown, Hebden Bridge. It's a place that's been recently visited by bottle diggers after a long absence. I didn't find much, but enjoyed being out and about, and by (and in) the river.

My cardigan corgi was sitting with me as I watched your video. He started barking excitedly when he saw the lovely sheep through your window. He was born on a farm & I think he misses the country life & his fluffy friends. Thanks from both of us 💕 😊

Perhaps the Yorkshire rabbits like to wash their carrots before they eat them but they’re not willing to reach too deeply in the water to recover them if one gets dropped, I know the raccoons over here in Canada wash their food first. It was a pleasure to see the spring bluebells and hear blackbirds again, I did miss seeing your videos

I do tend to use my shoulder bag for the things I value more, cameras and water bottles and such... the plastic rubbish just gets dropped into the hand bag with the finds, and then sorted out at home. 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed this.

A lot of Americans find that Canada geese are aggressive. I find them quite pleasant. Living in Texas, with heat most of the year; your videos are so peaceful, calming and the weather, no matter the condition, seems to be cool and fresh. I appreciate your videos and attention to detail, even if you don't find much on your adventures. It must be nice to be able to tromp around without having to worry about any number of venomous snakes one would encounter in the US.

Don't think it's a good enough site for either Kit & Caboodlers, or Northern Mudlarks to make the long trip... I know better sites for if they want to visit. Let's go with the Johnsons are frequent visitors, and Docking Bay 51 are fairly local. Lots of people fall like to fall asleep to my videos, it's something I didn't expect when I started, but I really like that even some insomniacs find it helps them to sleep. 🙂

I've watched a lot of your videos over the last month and was almost inspired to go mudlarking for myself until I realized my state in the US was really only inhabited by colonists less than 200 years ago. WAY less time than the UK. Way less populated too. It's a shame, but every time I go for a walk I keep my eyes out for trinkets now!

Mudlarking with… I love your idea that maybe someone just likes throwing carrots in the river ! Someone on the internet writes, 🥕🥕 If I had the option to choose ( the most aerodynamic vegetable ) I’d have to go with the carrot. It’s pointed end makes all the difference and will allow it to travel through the air with minimal drag when thrown in a forward motion, and its straight shape means it will lose less energy to spin and not be stopped by air not flowing around it like it should. Hence, how the shape of airplanes is very similar to that of carrots 🥕🥕 !!!
