In this episode, Christian and Richard hit the road to Elgin, Texas, to sit down with Gene Tolbert — owner and operator of GTS Digs, a hotspot for amateur and professional artifact hunters alike. Gene takes us back to where it all began: his very first dig site and the moment his lifelong passion for arrowheads was born.
From there, the conversation shifts to his current location, The Hogeye Site, a rich site with significant history. Gene shares the story behind some of his most legendary finds, including the astonishing Hogeye Clovis Cache, a discovery that turned heads in the archaeological community, and the infamous Boomertang, a uniquely shaped artifact with a tale of its own.
Gene discusses the future of GTS Digs, upcoming projects, and how he plans to keep the spirit alive with the future of The Hogeye Site. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or just curious about what lies beneath the sands of Texas, this episode is packed with passion, history, amazing discoveries and a few laughs!
