Treasure Hunting Takes Many Forms And Heals Trauma

In this heartfelt episode of Cosmic Conversations, host Glenda welcomes treasure hunter Gypsy Jewels, whose passion for discovery began in childhood. From exploring the mountains of West Texas with her father in search of fossils and artifacts, to scouring alleyways and diving dumpsters for forgotten finds, the thrill of the hunt has always been in her soul. At age six, Gypsy unearthed her very first treasure—an old pair of spectacles—using her uncle’s metal detector, sparking a lifelong love for treasure hunting.

Over the past 27 years, Gypsy’s journey has expanded in incredible ways. Today, she is a Field Team Member with Garrett Metal Detectors, a contributor to online publications, and co-host of the Treasure Vortex podcast. Her expertise has brought her to national television, with appearances on the Discovery Channel and History Channel, as well as pre-production work with her co-host Melissa for Mysteries of The Missing.

In this conversation, Gypsy shares not only her stories of treasure hunting, but also her insights on how healing can take many forms—whether it’s uncovering lost history, reconnecting with the earth, or finding empowerment through the search itself. Through her experiences, Gypsy shows that treasure is not only what we find in the ground—it is also the journey of discovery within ourselves.
