Picking up what the River dropped. An after flood-water beach-combing adventure.

Back at my commonly visited spot, which is uncommonly good after the rains have brought the river to the brink of flooding; the little beach beneath the weir gets a fresh covering of new old things for me to find.
I hope the resultant footage makes for a decently entertaining video.

What a lovely grey day complete w/ interesting finds such as I might have plucked from the sandy bit had I been the one searching! And that's quite amazing you found the heron head! My most remarkable 2-part find was of a large, colorful German internal swirl marble, broken, and softened by the waves at the mouth of a river where it met the Chesapeake Bay. I found another chunk of it about a month later. Another curious 2-part find was certainly unrelated bits. The first, a small mold for a lead soldier, found in Maine in an old shed when I was a child. 40 years later, when preparing an attic in Maryland for painting, I found a soldier that fit perfectly- between the floor boards. The house was from the mid 1800's. It's always quite something when this happens. Well done!

@marydegenkolb9603 5 жыл бұрын

The crane is going to be stunning, I'm sure. The pointed stick with the iron is for picking up trash maybe? We call it a gig. Here it is used to spear flat fish (flounder) along the coastal shores. The pipe stems can be strung on sterling wire with a pretty glass/natural stone bead and made into earrings or a necklace. Unfortunately, we do not have access to stems here in the U.S. Just the bowls. I have a few bowls that were made in Savannah Georgia before the civil war, and a couple that are native made. I love the figurine, but bet that will not be its final incarnation. I enjoy your videos as they are calming and easy to understand. Thank you for such a fun video again!

@tomburleigh9261 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Mary, I hadn't thought of mixing the pipe stems with glass beads, such an obvious option really. I'm going to check through my river glass box for likely looking bits. Native and pre-civil war pipe bowls are excellent finds 🙂 The pointed stick is, I think, probably unlikely to be for litter picking, too much work went into the brass piece for such a lowly (but noble) function; and there aren't any flat fish in these rivers... not to say that it's not something similar, I think it might be. Other suggestions include a sewer cleaning rod, and an old style tent pole. I'm glad you enjoyed this outing 🙂

Hi Tom, great video, thanks for sharing! I think the wooden shaft with the ?brass? ferrule is part of an old drain rod kit or maybe used for sweeping chimneys? The little bunch of flowers that you suggested may be a handcrafted brooch, I think, could be from a ladies hat, possibly dating to the 1920s or 30s. What you originally thought was a piece of antler, is a plastic/resin branch, that would have been used as aquarium 'furniture' perhaps for someone's pet goldfish. These can still be purchased today from some pet shops. Please take care in these troubled times mate. All the best Louie :)

Thanks for the ID's Louie, you may well be right on the brooch, I think I remember seeing similar long ago, on the hat of an old lady. 🙂 I thought the same about the brass on the end of a wooden shaft; my father has a drain rod kit that it reminded me of... but those are made of bamboo for flexibility; this is hardwood... and the iron bit remaining isn't something that his drain rod's have. Someone pointed me in the direction of a WWII german army ice pick; and the brasswork at least looks to be an exact match. Thanks your your well wishes too... I hope you and your family can get through it safe and well too.

Wonderful finds! You had a good day mudlarking! That handle looks like bone! Beautiful patterns on the china shards, and not sure what the big piece with the worn nitch is, but I would clean it up and possibly use it to grind herbs, you were all around the wild plant mugwort! I just finished dehydrating about 3 gallon bag of it just yesterday!, Not sure of the flowers, I will have to look those beauties up!

I could go on for hours watching and hearing you... i crave this moment all day... yet, we could go mudlarkibg topetes and never find The same Stuff. I believe that you missed a doll face at 18h32? Top left, black face doll... could it be? In May country reverso are too clean to find all that... bits of pottery, glass and fossiles... and pre-historical finds if you know what to look for ... nothing more. If you find so many remains like that, they open a museum... really Nice to watch you.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the item at 13:00 was that it could be the bottom end of an alpenstock or something very similar but more lightweight. The steel spike would deteriorate much quicker than the brass collar. Whatever it is it's a nice find. Cheers 👍🏼

@tomburleigh9261 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Mick, I hadn't thought of that as an option, but you could well be right... I found one quite similar on Google Images, and that one was 2nd world war era German army equiptment, which would be a surprising coincidence if the bayonet pommel was also German. War trophies perhaps, thrown away and eroded into the river at the same time. 🙂

Could be wrong, but that that mystery piece of wood, iron and copper looks familiar. It looks like a center stake from a WWII US Army pup tent. My Dad had a bunch of surplus he picked up while working at Treasure Island near San Francisco after the end of the war. The guys coming back from Alaska and leaving the services left behind enormous amounts of outdoor equipment. He picked up wonderful down mummy bags, several pup tents and all kinds of camping gear which we used for years. My sister and I loved playing in the pup tents on the lawn in the summer. I learned to set it up when I was about 6-7 years old. So that's my guess and the reason for the guess. Could be wrong. . .

Sat down to watch another of your videos I had not seen. My cat, Baby came to sit with me and I ended up clipping her nails while she was calm. Was it your voice coming through my phone that calmed her? I don't know, but by the time I was done you were showing us what you had found. So I went back and watched it in ernest. Tonight I will leave it play on the nightstand. I'll listen to your voice and the rushing water, visualize what I watched you find and drift off to sleep. I know that I am not alone when I say that you've been a huge help during the isolation of the covid19 pandemic. It looks as though America will be fighting this scourge for some time since many resist anything scientists tell us to do to keep it from spreading. So, keep the videos coming as long as it is safe for you to do.
