I was gonna say, when's the last time you got
up metal detecting and enjoying this beautiful weather?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
You know, Saturday we had an amazing day. Saturday, we
had an incredible day of metal detecting.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Where do we go? Where I'll let you, I'll let
you tell people. Well we went. We went actually back
to if you guys are just joining us and and
and you may not you know, follow us on social
media and everything on the podcast. Ken and I actually
were lucky enough to be included on an episode of
Expedition Unknown that debuted a couple weeks ago, and we

(03:09):
did the filming of that back in October out here
in Colorado. Ken and I both live out here in Colorado,
and we did some metal tech ting in Colorado with
Josh Gates and the Expedition Unknown crew. So after the
episode came out on Discovery Channel, we reached back out
to the landowners and said, you know what it's been shoot,

(03:32):
what has it been nine months? Ten months since we've
seen you guys. You know, we'd love to come back
out and detect with you again. And they were like, absolutely,
how about we do some barbecue and some beer and
some you know, just some good friend friendlies type stuff.
And so that's what we got to go do on Saturday. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
It was great, amazing. People know all about their property
in the historical term of their property. Great historic house,
it's on historic registry and uh man, just open arms
and we're gonna cook for you. I mean that's the
first that's the most I've eaten on a dig right,
oh yeah, and I think ever in the history of

(04:14):
me dig it.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, it wasn't what I what I was really humbled
by was it wasn't even just feeding us. They're like, no, no, no,
do you guys come inside, Come inside our home, have
a seat at our table, let's break bread. Let's talk
about each other's lives away from metal detecting. Even though
we talked a lot about metal detecting, because that's what
you and I talk about all the time. But you know,
it was just was like, uh, it was incredible. And

(04:37):
we rarely eat a where were we never eat a
sit down meal. But it's rare that we even have
more than a you know, a protein bar and a
gatorade or something for lunch if anything. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
So the fact that they were so excited about what
we were finding, like I almost following us around and
he was like collecting everything we got and then he
go research it for us. So we had our own
reason amazing buddy with us, and he'd come back and look,
oh look this said its special if it has the
Crown on it. Look it's got the Crown stamp right there,
you know, and you yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
You all excited. That was really cool, man, It was incredible,
and I just wanted to mention I did. I did
put together a video from that hunt. So that's coming
out on Saturday morning. So if you guys are following
on fifty two eighty Adventures, check in with that. It's fun.
It was actually a really good hunt. And if you
guys were entertained by Expedition Unknown, I'm going to let

(05:29):
you in a little tidbit. We found more this hunt
than we did with Josh Gates, So it's going to
be a great video. I think you guys really enjoy it,
and we had a fantastic time. I definitely believe we'll
be up there again. Yeah, and again still not hunting
out a lot of history, you know, all the way
back to eighteen seventies. So yeah, to discover there too.

(05:54):
And neighbors, clearly, I know, I know some really good
neighbors to meet that. Paul is already talking about that,
so that's great. Let's check in real quick with the chat,

got some stuff to talk about, and welcome to the show. Stephanie.
In's keep welcome tone.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
In my vehicle. So if you wonder why it's so dark,
it's because I have tinted windows and I'm not really
in my bedroom.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
We got to travel incognito these days, man, people are
recognizing you all over the place.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I know, yea. The appearances, yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
I did. I watch your guys' upsode those good episodes.
It's definitely interesting to film with Discovery and see how
things are done because like you guys, you guys found more,
i'm sure than what's actually aired on TV. Same with us.
You know, they pick, they pick and choose what they

(08:03):
want to air on TV, and you know, some stuff
that might be good to us. We're thinking, why wouldn't
you want that TV? Like I found an arrowhead that
was older than anything else on episode, but they they
didn't seem like they cared about it. So I don't know,
but it was fun. It was a fun time.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Now, you were just recently on You're You're We're on
the same season.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Have you been on before, Stephanie, have you been on before?

Speaker 3 (08:30):
No? No, No, So.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
You're on this season, season fifteen. You're in episode five, right,
I've yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Think so, I think episode I think it was like
maybe a week or two after your guys.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah. Yeah, it's called The Treasure the Pirate Queen. Yeah,
who was the great great story Anne Bonnie.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
So tell us just a little bit about Anne Bonnie.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Oh gosh, you're gonna ask me.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
To All you gotta do is say she was the
pirate Queen.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, she was a pirate queen. Basically, she was one
of the first female pirates. And you know, discovering all
the TV channels want you to believe that she hid
some treasure somewhere, you know, like every pirate hides treasure,
but in reality, we've never no one's ever found a

(09:23):
pirate's treasure cash. Do you ever think about that? But
on TV, they make you believe that these pirates are
hiding these cash is a treasure. And needless say, we
didn't find the cash treasure, but you know, we found
a bunch of other stuff. The property that we that
I was on, though there was a couple of different

(09:45):
properties that they filmed. I was only on one. That
property was very rich in history and had a ton
of different sites on it, and supposedly while it had
been hunted for years and not my dentist, I think
is one of the people that hunted it twenty years ago,
and I believe he found a couple of gold coins

(10:05):
there on that property. Wow, so who knows what was there?
You know, we we got there a few years too late.
But you know it was so fun.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I still found stuff though, right.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, we found a few things.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
You know, there was a lot. There was a lot
that didn't make the show.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Oh gosh, I mean I found an arrowhead, I found
a v nickel, just buckles and other well, I'll tell
you a secret. The lock that Josh Doug I actually dug.
There was a few locks.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
There was an awesome lock.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yeah, there's a few locks, dugs and buckles and you know,
just stuff like that. You know, nothing mind blowing, but
you know, they they spend a lot of time telling
the story with their actors and stuff, you know, so
I get they can only air so much, you know. Ye,
it was so fun. It was a fun time.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Was a little nerve wracking and thinking that you didn't
even know if you made the cut, like you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Like it was another thing is like that with us.
There was no practic scene, like you know, just Josh
shows up and he's like, he'll come up to me
and start talking to me, and it's like he's like,
all right, let's do that again one on one. And
there was there is a guy in our group that
I guess he wanted to be on film because he
kept cutting me off and standing in front of me

(11:29):
and Josh wanted to do this one on one thing
and he wasn't getting it. But I wasn't gonna sit
there and argue with him, so that conversation kind of
got cut short. But that's kind of what you see
if you watch episode. I was on there for a
little bit and that's part of the conversation we had again.
So yeah, it was good.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
We watched your episode. It was it was really cool one.
I'd never heard of Ann Bonnie, so it was kind
of cool learning a little bit about here, but you
could tell.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Really spiced it up a lot.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Oh yeah, a guy like to go right to read
a book now about her of like a reputable book or.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Something, because yes, make an interesting character. But I was
actually I'm doing research for Sunday. I have a treasure
or I mean trivia podcast coming up on Sundays. Are
you smarter than another Hunter? I was actually doing research,
and I don't know if they're listening to me or
monitoring what I'm watching. I had more and Bonnie stuff

(12:28):
come up on Ay, like in the form of questions
about treasure hunting and pirate and all this sudden kind
of stuff. I'd never had that before, so I just
thought that was really interesting. Here's all your devices and
uh yeah, check that out. It's a good picture.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, you know. The funny thing is why I'm wearing
that being damn. I actually went and got my hair
did before the show highlights on it, and you know,
I was all excited. I thought, maybe I'll wear my
hair down. The lady ruined my hair?

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Are you getting it?

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Was like orange? Oh my gosh, it was so bad
and there was no time to fix it. So I'm like,
you know what, I'm not gonna wear my hair like.
I never wear my hair down digging anyway, So I
was like, I'm just gonna wear a bandyana. That's what
I always wear.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Anyway, So she feels terrible because you must have said, look,
I'm gonna be on TV.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
I did. I like this lady. This lady, uh, she's
kind of an airhead, like she gets lost when she's
doing my hair, like should be watching TV and stuff.
And I'm like, man, I'm like, make sure you get
it close to the roots and then like the highlights.
I know, your guys, but the highlights, like we're starting
way back here, and I'm just like, this is a disaster.

(13:48):
That's all right. I ended up just doing what I
normally do. You know, it came off my hair down
like this digging. It would have been weird, you know, yeah, right,
all right.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I thought it came off good. I mean, and you
had a good time with the crew and everything.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Like we we had it. I know, there was a
lot of you guys. There was a lot of you
guys in your.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Carew There was a lot of us. Yeah, And actually
all the producers wanted to go. They were fascinated by
Megalodon teeth. And so that's another thing I do is
I did for Megalodon Teeth. And and it's not like
I always have a site, but it just so happened
that my boyfriend found a site to go digging for teeth,

(14:29):
and one of the producers, he was like, please, please, please,
can you take me? He was there on vacation. He
stayed a few days in his mom's houses right here
in the same town. The producer's mom's house was in
the same town as we live in, and so it
just worked out. We ended up taking him out and
he found some teeth and he was so excited. Yeah,

(14:53):
and then like the other the drone guy and some
other guy, they wanted some teeth. So I ended up
mailing mailing some teeth.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's so funny. Yeah. We found that the crew was
so down to earth and so relatable. They were just
awesome people to hang out with. And I'm just kind
of get to know and everything. They were just just
great people. Right.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
I would have done the same thing though, too, you
know Stephane and five. I'm like, wait, you can find
some Meglodon teeth or some other ancient teeth, Like yeah,
oh yeah, let's go out.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
You know what I mean. That'd be yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
And it was crazy because we hadn't had a spot
to dig for teeth because we dig in retention ponds.
That's the best place to go, and they get to
be Sometimes the fossil aire is fifteen feet deep, sometimes
it's thirty feet peep and sometimes they don't hit the
fossil ayre. So it's really rare to find a good spot.

(15:48):
And it just so happened that he found the spot,
and I was like, oh, thank goodness, we can take
him out, and just worked out.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's so cool.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
I know exactly absolutely nothing about Yeah, I know a
little bit for Native American, but uh, nothing like fossil.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
You know, yeah, yeah, I actually I didn't even know
there's such a thing. I lived in Michigan my whole life,
and I was watching Shark Week and I seen a
thing on there about digging for magladon Sharksy and I'm like,
no way, and uh by ex and I had a
vacation house in Florida, and so the next time we

(16:29):
went down there, I went on on tour with this
guy Mark Renz, and I found a little worn down
it was a piece of junk Megalodon too, but I
was stoked. I was so excited. I was hooked. I
made my own screen and then from there on now
I just went every day down there, weeks at a time,
and I was hooked. My husband at that time, he's like, man,

(16:51):
you're crazy. You love this stuff?

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I did.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
I loved it, man. I went all the time as
much as I could anyways. And then I fly back
to Michigan, and in Michigan there's no fossils like that,
so I'd just be sitting there like, oh, I just
want to dig. And then uh, long story short, ended
up getting divorced, and I'm like, well, if I'm gonna
start over, I'm gonna go to South Carolina because there's

(17:17):
great sharks see there and just a ton of history.
And so that's why I moved here. I moved here
to dig for sharks, and I met my boyfriend digging
sharks seeth and wow, rest is history.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
You know what they say, those that dig teeth together
are a little crazy.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Yeah, we're definitely a little crazy, maybe a lot are you?

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Are you scuba diving for sharks teeth? Is that how
you're how you're getting well?

Speaker 3 (17:48):
We do scuba dive too. The place that we normally
go on the river level is way too high because
when the river gets too high, the current in the
river gets too strong, and like on a normal day,
I wear about forty pounds of weight to stay at
the bottom. And when the when the level gets too high,

(18:10):
can't put on enough weight to stay at the bottom,
it'll just blow you back. And so the river's been
way too high this year, so we haven't been in
it at all this year.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
But that's usually a good place to find him.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
In those rivers.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, you can find you know, arrowheads and shark seeth
and all kinds of stuff in there. You can find
mammoth teeth. Wow, I haven't found one yet. My boyfriend
has twelve of them. I haven't found single one yet.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
That would be incredible to find one though, he's got
twelve twelve.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Well, one night last last year, one night before we
went out, I said, man, I just want to find
one mammoth tooth. The next day, he finds a freaking
mammoth tooth right next to me. I'm like, you got
to be kidding me. And then I like the next weekend, like, man,
I want to find a grooved X a Native American
grooved acts. They're so rare, I kid you not. He

(19:06):
finds one right next to me, and I'm like, I'm
not saying another thing. I'm not saying now that everything
I say he finds.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
You know why because he's buying them on eBay and
he's bringing with him in a bag.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
And if that was the case, I wouldn't even be upset.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
But no, I know.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
He's great at diving. He's been doing it forever. He
can go all over. He's crazy. He'll go under branches
and I've been trapped under a tree once and then
scarce crap audio. Oh that's the thing about river dive
and those branches and trees. You can get hung up
in them and it's kind of scary.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, I think that would freak me out to you.
How do you even research that kind of stuff? Like
how I know how research goes with metal detecting and
finding old sites, but prehistoric, like, I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
How do you find well, the were thing? We actually
my boyfriend has a house in front of the river
and he did all the research. And you just go
up and down the river and when it's low, which
is very rare, and look for gravel bars and then
you look in the gravel because there's no rocks here.

(20:19):
If there's rocks, it's fossil ayer or it's from the
naive Americans. But in the normal soil, there's no rocks.
You're like, you're seeing rocks to your Native American or
it's fossil layer.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Either way, there's something in there to hunt.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah. Wow, that's pretty cool, very interesting.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Well where did all this come from, Stephanie? Where'd all
this adventure searching for these? Where did all this start?
Like you've been that way your whole life. Did something
happen to spark this in you? What do you think?

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Well, I mean, since I was low, I like taking
up rocks and collecting rocks. But yeah, I guess it would.
I'd say that Shark Week thing. Probably about twelve years ago.
I started watching Shark Week, and then I went to
Florida started digging for shark seat, and then I met
other people and I dug here in South Carolina. And
then when I was in South Carolina here, I was

(21:17):
walking a field for arrowheads and I was seeing old
nails and stuff, and I kept saying to my boyfriend.
I was like, man, we should really start mel detecting.
And that year for Christmas, we both got each other
Garrett metal detectors. We didn't even know it, but we
gave over and we went out to that field and

(21:40):
he found a cut eight the first time we went
out there. And then my first coin was a cob,
a half real cop.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
That was my first point.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
All right, just stop, we gotta thanks for being a
guest tonight, we'll catch you.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
I know I did dig like beer cans and stuff
like that too. I mean that wasn't my first target,
right right right, yeah easy. All the time that field
now has been bought and it's gone last farm field

(22:19):
left in this area too.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
That always frustrates me when I'm doing research and I
see the old map and I'm like, oh, this is perfect,
and then i do the overlay and it's like Walmart
now and I'm just like, oh, that's completely lost.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Right, yeah, that's terrible when that happens. But you got
each other metal detectives for Christmas.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Don't even know. That's so cool, man, that's like crazy.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
And he still uses the Garrett but you know, since then,
I've gotten the Equinox eight hundred and then my xby Dais.
I use that all time. I don't even use my
other mal detectors. I love the xbdas.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Smart, very very smart.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
I mean it's doesn't hurt my elbow I don't get
any aches or pains. I mean, I love it, so
I use that. I bring it every day every day
truck around here. There's so much construction. If you see
something new, you gotta check it, you know, you gotta
go up and see if you can get permission and

(23:18):
check it, because you never know.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Do you carry hard hats and safety vests in your vehicle?

Speaker 3 (23:24):
You know? I don't. I ordered it was way too big,
so I sent it back, but I'm like, you know,
I probably should get one.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Right, Yes, pop on that and say city inspector. Yeah,
take a look around. Yeah, that's a good one. Like that.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, if you have a clipboarding and usually get into anywhere.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
I've heard Yeah, I saw this one video of this
guy that pulled up to some like sporting event. It
pulls up to park his vehicle and it rolls down
the window and the guy's there and he's talking about
how he's here to check the flex capacitor and wants
to know if doctor Brown had let them know that
he was going to be there, and you know, all

(24:09):
these things like like all of like back to the
future but all this, you know, he's just throwing all
this stuff out and the guy's like, no, no, yeah,
go ahead and go ahead and head in there, have
a good you know, do your business whatever you need
to do. It was absolutely hilarious. If you if you
talk to talk and you make it like you're supposed
to be, like you know what you're doing, then who's
going to question you? Landowners? That's what they're not trusting you.

(24:37):
As you're driving down the driveway, they're like, hey, what
are you selling? Well, you were just talking today about
when we before we started, you were at a construction, say,
looking for arrowheads. Yeah, how did that go? You think
it went all right?

Speaker 3 (24:54):
I I either found a blong point or a broken point.
I haven't had a chance get it. Yeah, real close.
I think it's broke though, you know it's hit and miss.
It's the end of the site, so there's not a
lot left there, but you don't check, you.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Won't know, right. What's your biggest tip then for because
you do search for a lot of Indian Native American
artifacts and stuff like that, So what would be your
best tip, you know, in terms of like finding a
location or or doing you know, looking for stuff, what
would you suggest?

Speaker 3 (25:31):
I always go with any cleared ground next to water
because they had to have water to live. And so
if there's high ground next to high ground that's been
cleared or disturbed at all next to water, I would
check it. And a lot of times there's some there,
but you know, not every time obviously, but they had

(25:52):
to have water.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
So let me ask you this.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
I always see videos of arrowhead hunters and artifact hunters
that are they're in the side of a hill, they're
in the side of a of a rise, and they're
pulling stuff out of the size side of a of
a cutout and a river or something like that, Like,
would that be on the downhill side of these raysed
elevated sections. So let's say I found a I found

(26:16):
a site that had water. It was a river water,
it was on a bend, and then right above the
bend there's this elevated sort of plateau that you know,
maybe the water wraps around it on three sides. And
I was thinking, oh, that would be a great spot.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
The kind of camp there's a lot of rocks in
the soil there. If there isn't, you can use a
probe and probe to see if you hit anything. But
are there a lot of rocks in your soil there.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, there can be. It depends on where you're at. So, uh, well,
the area I'm thinking Tony.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Is where we've been hunting.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
There's a lot of sand there's it's really sandy, light
and oil, so I don't know if there would be
rocks there. I definitely will bring a probe next time
we go out and see what they can do.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
I mean, mm hmm, you could always do. It has
to fit see if you find anything too.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Yeah, yeah, we should. We should have a probe because
the sites, I mean, the one property that we're on
has like three three sites immediately to where we're looking at,
and uh, they are kind of dug out and stuff
like that, so we should we should have a probe
with us for sure. We find stuff on the surface
of the Yeah, you have.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Have you found any area where there's a lot of
like percussion flakes in one area.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
We have, we see a lot of flake and stuff
and not a ton though not a ton.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
I would start by where you find the flakes. That's
what I do. I dig underneath where I find flakes,
and I found arrowheads that way, not just like one flake.
If you see an area that's got a few flakes
at it. You could try that area. If there's a
few there, there might be a lot more underneath.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
And you had mentioned, uh, you went, you went after
a rain because that kind of kind of washes.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
Well, yeah, the brain's always washed things up to the surface.
And there's other hunters here, and there's other hunters. There's
so much competition here that after it's been dry for
a while, one hundred people have walked to say, you're
not gonna find anything. I mean, there's a one in
a million chance. But the best time to go is

(28:22):
right after a rain, I think, because that's you know,
especially if you're the first one there, because then you'd
have the best look at it, and you gotta check
you got if you have a lot of area that's cleared. Though,
covering a lot of area helps find it stuff too.
I noticed that because when I first started dating my boyfriend,

(28:44):
he would find a lot more than me. Now always
used to piss me off, and I figure it out.
It's because he cover so much area, back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth, and then he'd like
figure out the areas that were good. So that's an art.
And you can do is walk walk a lot of area.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
You gotta have a good eye.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I know that. I know that.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Once I once I realized that we could find Native
American artifacts here, it changed everything for me as a
metal detectives because now my ears are going one way,
but my eyes are constantly scanning the other way for
anything that stands out. You know, every piece I've found
has completely been standing out. You know, it's revealed itself
to me because I've never had to dig for It's
always been once you.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Start finding them, you'll find more. Your eyes get more
tuned into it. Yeah, that's the same thing with like
the the Native American beads. Once I started finding them,
I've found them at probably nine different sites. Now, mm hmm,
you just.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Kind of get that's incredible beads. Are you ever found
any of those tinklers? You know what I mean? Those
little like.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
That on my bucket list. Now, they're rare to find here.
People have found them, but they're rare to find. A
kettle is on my list too, and one of my friends, Harley,
has found a kettle point. Other than him, I've never
heard of anyone find him here.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
M Yeah, we had a we had a question from
Copper Joe he's up in Wisconsin and he wanted to
know if you've never found any copper points.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Oh, I wish I have. I've dug some copper things
that kind of look like triangles. Of course I keep everything.
That's one of our biggest arguments at home, my boyfriend.
And you're not keeping that crap already, Yes, I'm keeping it.
You already know this been the every ten years. You know,
I'm going to keep it. So. Yes, I've found some

(30:38):
triangle ish copper things, but I'm not gonna say they're
kettle points because they do not look like you know
what they look like online. You know, I wish I did.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
You will, man, you search so much and cover so much.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
I'm going to go home and visit my family in Michigan,
and when I'm there, I've never detected at home. I'm
going to look for one.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Sure, Yeah, I mean it's got to be there, right,
Michigan's not bone dry.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
It's especially up north. Yeah, that's what that's mostly what
they find. It is fur trade.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
So are you up north? Is that where you're from?

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Anderson, Michigan. It's kind of I don't know if you
know where Grand Rapids is.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Where's it at where is it at? Somewhere? Well there
there you go, Grand.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
But you know, the further up towards the U, up
the upper Peninsula, I think that's more where they find out.
I got no problem driving over the bridge to find one.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah, absolute beautiful, beautiful up there too, I know, uh yeah,
I want to get more into it, I really do.
I've been doing some light art hunting, like mapping, trying
to find potential target locations in where we're hunting. I mean,
it's not that big here to where, not like it

(32:10):
sounds like it is there to where you know, if
you find a spot that there's still going to be
stuff there, you know what I mean, Especially the areas
we're hunting. I just don't think. I mean, there's other
parts of.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Colorado to where that's a big deal.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
And I know that they've they've cleared it out, but
I think some of these private permissions were on I
don't think.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, none. They're an old native lands, you know, from
back in the day.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Right.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
A couple of pieces I've found. Archaeologists and professors and
stuff have told me that they feel it's been deposited
there via flood. You know, they said that wasn't native
to that area, so it had been deposited there by
a flood or something.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
So that's because unless they're down in their little cubicle
digging it out, they don't like to deal with fines
because it's not they didn't dig it out, you know
what I mean. I think that's a normal thing for them,
Like they'll look at your fine and think it's cool,
but it's not the same. Like my clothes point it's great,

(33:12):
but they didn't dig it out, so you know, it's
not as good as it because it would be if
they had done that to me, it's awesome. I don't care.
I'm not going to sell it anyways.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
So yeah, Ken, what was the name of that? We
were up with the archaeologist at the springs and on
that same property they had the bison what was that
thing called?

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Like a bison leap, Yeah, kill pity.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
And push push him essentially to the end of a
of a huge drop off, and then then everybody else
was down there and they took care of business once
the bison were killed.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, so they'd have a process, they'd have like an
eating area, they'd have like a collection area. Really interesting, I.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Mean, that's the closest people do with Masons. They had,
you know, areas where they kill the masdons and skin
them and all that.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
Wow, to find one of those areas. But that's dreaming
right there.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yeah. I think on this property, it's it's still a
family owned it's a it's a cattle ranch that they've
had for forever. But I think they maybe located that
thing back in the fifties or something like that, where
they excavated all these bones and figured out that that's
what that site was and pretty interesting stuff. Yeah. Yeah, so,
I mean native, we know it's out in the areas

(34:44):
we're in. It's just trying to find the hot spots.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Well, keep your eyes down and you'll find them more
aread go.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Now I go hunting, though seven days a week. I
do have a job, not quite a job.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Really, come on, how are you doing that?

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Tell me dogs and then I go out.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Good for you? Yeah, that's it for you.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Yeah, we're not quite near that. I wish if we
can do every other weekend, we're we're stellar.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Well, as long as you get to go it all
that's important.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, that's true. Absolutely. Our friend Jeff that was hunting
here and he moved North Carolina. H every day every day.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
And it's great. But we constantly get the text every
day ready for another bucket list, and these pictures come over.
He's like, all right, check this out.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
What do you guys think this is? And we're just
sitting there at work. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
So explain low Country to me. I always hear about
this digging low Country And for those listening, they might
not really know. Is that just sort of an area
of South Carolina Country?

Speaker 3 (36:09):
I think that's just a name for South Carolina. You're
asking a Michigan girl. I moved here from Michigan, so
I'm assuming though I always assumed that it just meant
south South Carolina. And maybe it means the swamps of
South Carolina, like the Low Rice Lands. I'm not sure
that could be it.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
I've seen a lot of cool finds come out of
South Carolina. I tell you what. We've been talking to
a few people from there.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
I know.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Greg, what was that's finding so much stuff there?

Speaker 1 (36:42):
And I really got hit on his channel early early on.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Yeah yeah, yes, yeah, yeah, finds some good.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah he has. And it's like you got the history
there too, and now you make it.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
There's a lot of history there. I'm very blessed that
I started detecting here. I mean, Michigan has good stuff,
don't get me wrong, But South Carolina's got I.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Mean it's totally different though. Yeah yeah, yeah, different types
of history. You know, We've had a couple uh Copper
culture explorers from from up in Michigan and Wisconsin, Copper
Joe that that talk about some incredible, incredible stuff up
in that area. Stu por Trade, yeah, all that kind

(37:32):
of stuff, and uh, but South Carolina, man, it's it's
it's it's incredible. It's got everything he's got. The exactly.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Doesn't have meteorites.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Oh, I don't know anything about either.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
I just knew I wanted one. I really, I've never
even seen him meteorite. I only seen him post pictures online.
And I'm thinking, if I can find Native American beads,
surely I can go look for this. And uh, you
just got lucky.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah, we need to talk about that. So, yeah, because
it's actually putting people hunting meteorites as actually, what'd you do?

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Oh yeah no, I told Stephanie earlier about brass medic
up and uh bring up yeah, yeah, yeah, he went
out there. But I just want to mention real quick,
I did throw that your meteorite hunting video just came
out two days ago. I put that in the chat there,
so fantastic video. Tell us, tell us the backstory about it. Yeah,

(38:40):
it's twenty two minutes. Come on, that's not long. That's
not long. Yeah, what's the backstory?

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Like, I mean, you've always just wanted to go find one,
but never really kind of a new hour version.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Yeah, yeah, I've always just wanted to find a meteorite
and I could never just I could never figure out
how to go hunt them. And no one, which I
don't blame them, No one's like saying, oh i'll take
you out. I mean they're rare to find, so I
mean I understand, I understand that. So so that's the thing.
I couldn't figure it out. And my boyfriend and I

(39:15):
our anniversary was on June twenty sixth, and before that,
I was asking friends, again, do you know anywhere that
we could go hunting, because well, my boyfriend's terrible and
he never plans anything. So I was trying to plan
something and of course I ain't get anywhere. Well, then
on our anniversary, I was looking at my phone and
a meteority fell on our anniversary in Georgia. Oh. I

(39:38):
was like, oh my gosh. So I was like, I
gotta go figure this out, and I started getting sick.
Long story short, it took me about a week to
figure it out. And then I went down there and
probably the fifth house that I walked, that's where I
found my first one.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Okay, stop right there.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
I wasn't sure. Look, I liked the pictures online, but
I wasn't sure until in my room at two in
the morning when it stuck to my Yeah, that's in
my room at two in the morning, it stuck to
my magnet on my vape, and I was jacked. I mean,
that's probably like one of the worst pictures of me.
But I'm in my pajamas and two in the morning. Yeah,
And I was so excited. So I'm running around the

(40:21):
room all excited. And then I couldn't fall asleep till
probably four during the morning. So the next day I
was really tired. But wow, I ended up finding a
couple more. That was July fourth, and so I thought
I had three of them. And then when I got home,
I looked at all the stuff it picked up and
I actually had four of them.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
And then I went down there one more time. I
had a cracked windshield on the way down there that time,
and I ended up finding one and I was like, yes,
I got one. I was so excited. And then I'm like, man,
I really want a bigger one. So I went back
one more time and on the way home, I didn't

(41:03):
find anything. It was a terrible trip that one. I
didn't find nothing. On the way home, I got speeding
ticket in Georgia, a four point speeding ticket. I gotta
go back to Georgia in September of that court hearing.
Maybe I'll go getting one.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
More time there you go, Yeah, if you're down and.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
I'm going back. But I can't.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
I can't.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
I can't get a four point ticket. I'm gonna have
to go to court and try to talk that down.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Look at that.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Oh? That is so crazy. And Georgia is not not
close to you, it's not right around the five hours. Yeah,
that's some dedication to go down there and find space rocks.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Man.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah, where those have been and what they've experienced. Holy cow,
actually really look at the far.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Oh wow, cool.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
So yeah, that cracking on it is called the crust.
I just learned this stuff that's called the crust, and
it kind of looks like someone dripped oil on it.
That's how you can tell apart from the other rocks.
It looks kind of like it has oil or some
kind of sticky residue on it, and I guess that's
it's so cool. It's from it melting going through the atmosphere.

(42:27):
So that's how you can tell the difference between that
and another just normal black rock.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Interesting. GENA in the chat said, are they magnetic or
attract magnets? Is that kind of how you can? Like
you said, you can identify them.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
My nicotine bape thing that I I use has a
magnet on it, and that's what I tried it on
that night and it stuck to it. So yeah, they
are magnetic. I don't think all meteorites are. There's so
much to learn about meteorites. I don't know. I don't
know half the stuff you need to know about me.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Or it's you.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
That's awesome, So let me get this straight. I gotta
go back.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
I know you're getting us a short version, but not
like the long version.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
You found you saw on like some news report that
this meteor hit Georgia, Like was it a news report?

Speaker 1 (43:21):
Yeah? And it just your mind went, ta, I know
what we're doing?

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Yeah, because I mean, what are the chances. I was
trying to go on my university to go looking for one,
and then one actually fell on our anniversary and I'm like,
well that. My friend's like, well that's a sign. And
he's usually like a pessimist, but he's like, well, that's
a sign you need to go. And I'm like, yeah,
you know what, You're right, I do need to go.

(43:45):
And I'm like if I don't go now, And the
thing is, you can't wait forever to go, because they're
all going to be gone. I mean there's people that
stayed down there for weeks, looking every single day in
every yard they could go in. There's one mean couple
down there that will not let anyone go in the yard.
And I know there's got to be some there because

(44:06):
I found them all around their house, but they won't
let anyone in the yard.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
So they actually identify the general area where this meteor
came down, and they're able to identify that.

Speaker 3 (44:17):
And I figured it out. I did not know the
Strewing Field. I only went by the news casts. They
said a road that a house got hit by one
on this road. Name of the road was Pulling Road,
and so I pull up Pulling Road. I mean it's
a pretty long road, but I knew behind Pulling Road

(44:39):
is kind of where other people had found some and
everybody was posting pictures and they're so excited they're not
even thinking about disguising anything behind the pictures. So I
was looking at their pictures and figuring out where they were.
And that's how I narrowed down word to go look.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
And what do you do?

Speaker 2 (44:57):
You just knock on doors and you're like, hi, I'm
here to look for meteorites. Were like, oh, yeah, you're
the fifth one this week, or you the fifth one, and.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Some people are like some people are like, oh, there's
no meteor right around here. That didn't happen. And I'm
just like, okay, appreciate your time away. Yeah, So you
know I got enough?

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Is that I got lucky. I got lucky. And one
of them I found kind of off the busy road,
and so I didn't need permission for that. I was
just walking along the road. I mean I was I
looked like a creeper. I'm sure I was like trying
to go in these I went in these woods, these
creepy woods, and found these bones, and it just rained

(45:45):
and it was all wet and soggy and dark in there,
and I'm just like, man, I am crazy, But I
wanted I want to find like a big softball size one,
you know, the one everyone wants. Yeah, of course I
didn't find it yet, but you know, I'm happy with
what I did find.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
The man, now you're on another another hobby to get in,
get inside.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
Yeah, you know, jeez, I know when we had brass
Medica on he he pretty much said the same thing. Like,
you know, it goes out on the news or you know,
it just starts going through social media or through the channels,
and all of a sudden, everybody is out there, and
if you're not one of the first ones out there,
you know, they're obviously gonna take the bigger ones and
stuff like that. But right you know, if you're not
out there quickly, you're getting passed off, passed up on

(46:34):
that stuff.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Didn't you say that we're out on the salt flats? Yeah, yeah,
this big expanse.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Of flat earth yeah, and then you're just out there
looking for.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
These I guess there's a construction site behind these houses too,
and a lot of people found them there. I went
by there for a minute, but I knew it was
so easy for them to find him on this open
area that I was like that, I'm not going to
do that. I knew not acting on people's doors would
be a better guess, because a lot of people don't

(47:05):
like going up to people's houses, and so that's the
first thing I did, and I just I got lucky.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Were they surface fines?

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Yeah, everything, everything everyone's found has all just been on
the surface.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
So are you just eyeballing?

Speaker 3 (47:20):
No, just looking for him?

Speaker 1 (47:24):
I know.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
I actually ran that that my biggest one under my
detector and you can, like you can barely hear it.
So I mean, I don't know if you would even
know what it was, you know, because there's iron in
the woods and junk and yeah, I just I don't
think and they it just fell, so it hasn't gone
underneath the surface, so everything sitting on top. Yeah, I

(47:47):
kept thinking of in those woods, I was going to
find a huge one, but Noah, and it wasn't there.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
You'll get it I wonder.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
I wonder in the community if there's an app or
some kind of forums or something with people post.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
It's called meteorite hunters or something. I'm in one of
those pages.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
So if people that are listening to the show right
now want to start looking for meteorites in their area,
would you recommend a site like that for them to
go check out so they can maybe see what's going
on in their area.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's called meteorite hunters. It's
meteorite something. If you put it on Facebook and put
meteorite groups in, there's a huge group that you can
bring it up, and there's a lot of stuff on
there help figure it out.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Yeah. But sweet. Yeah, a new hobby, Tony, here we go.
I know just what my wife needs, another hobby with.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Oh yeah, my boyfriend never went because he thought I
was crazy. He's like, there's no way you're going to
find anything. It's been a week, so that's why he did.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
And you're sick, you should stay home. You're sick, right.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
I was really sick. I was so weak and had
body aches and chills, and once they told me I
wasn't contagious or anything, I was like, all right, I
gotta go.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
I just so when you and I were talking before
you came on the show, I was just so impressed
because I mean, just think about that for everyone listening.
Just think about it, right, Like you have this dream
that you just want to find this meteorite, you know
what I mean. Bang, yeah, it comes out of nowhere
that hey, this meteorite fell five hours from me. You're sick,
but you make the trip anyways. You ignore the fact

(49:37):
that your boyfriend said you're crazy. You go out there
not knowing anything. Uh figured out, Like Teresa said, you're
part detective. You freak it out, you figure it out.
You start knocking on doors, you find one man that
is just so that is just a pinnacle of excitement,
like you Feld.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
And I purposely stop going on that meteorite page because
I didn't want to see anyone posting anything, because I
knew if I started seeing them post some more fines,
I would start getting in my head and then I'd
be like, oh, why are you going You're not gonna
find anything. So I stopped looking at that website. I
was like, Nope, I'm not gonna think about it. I'm
just gonna get there, and then when I see the area,

(50:17):
I was like, oh my gosh, there's no way, but
I just did it anyways, and I got lucky.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Now, did you end up meeting other hunters while you
were there? Like?

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Did you run into the.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
Other meteorite the third time I went, when I was
getting ready to leave, the meteorite man from the meteorite hunters,
Steve something his name is, he was there and he
said he was leaving the next day because there just
wasn't much left. He was going door to door to
look in their gutters to see if there's any meteorites

(50:50):
in people's gutters.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Oho, and I did not work.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Because I talked to him after that he didn't find anymore.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
So that made so much sense.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Yeah, he must be softball size one in someone's pool.
I know how fools up.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Oh my gosh, I could go down the rabbit hole
in this one big time.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Well, sure, you think about you know, hitting like the
roof falling down in the gutter, and maybe even like
Raine coming through pushes all that stuff and you're just
right down at the bottom of the spout finding meteorites
right down there.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
If I live there, I would be groomy people's dogs
for free, so I could look in the yard. I guarantee,
you guarantee it.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
The gutter hunter right, and in the pool too.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Man, that's pretty brilliant. You must have had to die
for it or something. He's like, I don't care if.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
Oh and he was half because it was like almost
one hundred degrees first spell.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Yeah, you guys been hot over there. I know a
lot of people.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
I'm getting it's been miserable. Miserable.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
That's crazy and human, right, you guys are human there too.
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:05):
Like literally you go outside and you're just about to die.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Yeah, I gotta remember. That's when I'm complaining here in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
Yeah. You know, when I lived in Michigan, I hated
the cold and love the heat, And now that I've
been here ten years, I hate I hate the heat
and I missed the cold. I don't miss the blizzards,
but I do miss the cold.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
Yeah. I'm from northeastern Ohio, right off of Lake Erie there,
so I understand the cold is cold. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Jean said that you should go to the Diamond Mine
when she goes to Georgia. I think it's an Arkansas
maybe if there sharp eyes, you could spot a surface
diamond easy. That's a whole other thing, right, Like, have
you ever gotten.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
I haven't done that yet. I need to do that.
I actually walked when I actually found emeralds from a shipwreck,
and while I was hunting for those, I seen a
raw diamond from a shipwreck, but I didn't realize what
it was. And I walked past. And I always picked
stuff up, and I didn't pick it up, like an idiot.

(53:14):
And I was walking next to my friend and I'm like,
are there diamonds out here too? And he's like, yeah,
there's diamonds. I've found a few. I'm like, oh, my gosh,
you think I could find it again?

Speaker 1 (53:25):
No?

Speaker 3 (53:26):
No, uh, it's so dumb, so dumb. That's one of
the only times I have not picked something up.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
My gosh. When you were talking about the the meteorite hunting,
I when you were talking about how you know, after
like a storm per se, you know, and then I
kind of thought about the same thing with the you know,
the Treasure coast or even on the coast of South
Carolina there when those storms come through, then all of
a sudden that you know, it deposits or everything comes

(53:55):
to the surface or you know, things like that, and
so if you're not out there right away after those storms,
people are picking up all.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
That the.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Treasure that's coming in from the ocean. You know.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
Do you get a lot of shipwreck treasure stuff wash
up on shore? A lot of shipwreck I.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Don't know when I did it. I went to Florida
during a hurricane detective and found it.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
M hmm.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
I've only found one cob from a shipwreck and a
musketball and emeralds.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Wow, all during a hurricane. Yes, moree out there with
a hundred.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Other people, because I know that's really popular in Florida,
at least for whatever section you can do it in.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
You Yeah, one of my friends brought me out to that.
That was his site. Yeah, that was in Florida. I've
I've never you know, I don't think I may have
detected the beach here one time since I've been here.
I'm just more of a woods girl or you know. Yeah,
that was the example. Pick I do have a fe

(55:01):
do you really? Yeah? Yeah, do you have an Actually
I found two mayra beds. Wow, the soil those were
at plantation site. So those were in the woods and
the soil here in certain areas is so bad that,
I mean, some of the cop or stuff is just wipe.
You don't see hardly anything on it. But the Mayor

(55:22):
of Beds I found. I found an eight and then
another one. One of them has the one sixty four
on it, thankfully, so you know it's sixteen forty four.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Yeah, how cool is that? What's your earliest coin here
in the States that you found?

Speaker 3 (55:39):
Yeah, that's the part the shipwreck cop that's my earliest coin.
It might be that Mayor vs is sixteen forty four.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Yeah, it's hard to beat that. It's hard to go
back further now, I don't can't.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Yeah, I think it's probably that.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
Did you know what it was immediately when found it?

Speaker 1 (55:59):
Hi? Pine tree shilling? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
I like to find pine tree but those are not
they're not around here.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Did did you know what that Mara VADs was as
soon as you pulled it? Or did you have to reach?

Speaker 1 (56:12):
No?

Speaker 3 (56:12):
I did because I have looked at a lot of
coins online and I always like, man, I'd love to
find the Mayor of DS And so when I found it,
like most of stuff, it has the shape and it's
it's in terrible condition, but it has the shape and
it looks like it and I wasn't sure, so I
set it aside, and then like three years went pie

(56:32):
and this year I found another one and this one
had that one six four on it, and I'm like,
now I know the other one's the Mara beds. So
then I pulled the other one out and you can
see eight on it clear as day, and I'm like,
how did I not see that before? God? So, yeah, yeah,
they're definitely Mara beats. They're just they're not in perfect condition,
but that's all right.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Yeah, yeah, they're our friend Jeff on one Tony, I
think so, Jeff right, yeah, and sixteen you see the
sixteen on it?

Speaker 1 (57:04):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's all in that area there. I mean, geez, incredible.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
We got so much Just like what do you like
looking for? Like when you're yeah, you're into so much stuff, man,
I think I.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
Like to look down. I love like the trade stuff,
like name American trade rings, the like I said, kettle point.
I'd love to find a cattle point. But I like
the trade stuff, like the beads, the trade rings, the
trade jewelry, you know, just trade stuff. That's my favorite

(57:41):
they finally, who doesn't like finding a cobb?

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Goshs just so many?

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Who doesn't like finding those? Man?

Speaker 3 (57:52):
I would, that's it is so cool? Crazy? Yeh, that's
just crazy.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
You just saw that.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
I saw that in top soil, black top soil.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Yeah, it could be modern, could not be.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
Oh, it's definitely not mine because I found about one
hundred beads at that site.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
Yeah, that was a cool site. I really think that
enslaved laborers were those beads here too, because every slave
cabin site I found beads.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Wait a minute, no, way did you find that? Look
at that thing?

Speaker 3 (58:37):
That was a different site, that's a different one.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
But look how small that is?

Speaker 3 (58:41):
Man, I know, and that's the only beat I found
at that site.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Crazy, you just eyeballed that and you're like it was
in the driveway. What are you talking? Look how huge
that is? Oh my gosh, Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
Wow, that's pretty crazy. But hey, is that when you
start seeing stuff like that, when you start finding it,
you'll start seeing it. When you guys find the arrowheads,
you'll start seeing more. I guarantee you.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Yeah, I hope.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
So I really want to get into that. Tony and
some of these sites weren I've been doing a lot
of research. I'm getting all excited for it because we're
going to be there metal detecting anyways, may as well
take an extra half hour ago flight that I think,
you know, through research you might have some some prospective
area or a good area for it, you know.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
Yeah, but I just saw something on your Facebook page
here I wanted to talk about.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
So I think this is when I is this the
first time maybe became aware of Stephanie.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Oh no, I've watched you before.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
But.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Yeah, you.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
D one of my tags.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
Yeah, I mean you know we're not finding those in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
No. Yeah. My first first three years of detecting, I
found nine slave jacks.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
Whoa and I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
Haven't found one since and that's been four years now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Did you find them all in the same general area?

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Oh no, not really. I found two out at the
same two of them came from the same site, but
the rest of them were all different sites.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Wow. Yeah, absolutely incredible. Yeah, I look great condition. Yeah,
the condition of it is insane.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
Well, that one's restored, I mean it's all legit. But
I think that one I had them straightened out. Uh
it was bent or whatever, But I have some that
I didn't do anything to either. They're just exactly how
I found them, right. The first two I found. One
of them was completely rolled up, like like a sigarette,

(01:00:57):
was completely rolled all the way up. So I send
it to Leonard Short and he kneeled it and made
it pretty again. It might be that one.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Wow, if that was rolled like a cigarette, that's an
amazing time.

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
Oh yeah, Leonard does a good job. He's very good
at it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:19):
But eight wow, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Probably never get tired of that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
There's such amazing relics, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
And I would love to find another one, but I
can't complain. I cannot complain, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Do you hunt similar sort of areas all the time,
Like do you have favorite things that attract you? Like, Okay,
I want to make sure I can metal detect here
in the woods, but also I need.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Some water in case I want to go look for that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
Just any dirt, huh, dirt dirt, I'm gonna check it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
That's where you're at.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Yep, because there's are going to be fossils in it,
Native Americans, so colonio stuff or nothing. But if you
don't check it and I can find anything. But around here,
I mean most of the time there's something in it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
Wow that that that heavy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Huh yeah, that'd be how you work.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
I had only.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
Woods in the summer. There's too many spiders and snakes
and ticks. Ticks, ticks.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Tony doesn't like text either. Yeah, so I even growing
up in Ohio, I've never had any interaction with ticks.
And come out here in Colorado. We're in the woods
quite a bit, but we've just never had ticks. I
was out two weeks ago with Michael, our friend Michael
from Metal techting Noco Northern Colorado, and I got back

(01:02:49):
to the truck and we were talking and he reaches
over on my shirt right here and he goes, hey,
you get a tick here? Flicks it off. No big deal,
I go. But sitting in the truck, turn on the
AC start to cool off because like it's freaking hot,
and I'm like, what is this? And I pulled Philip
crawling It's another tick. Open the windows, look it out.
I come all the way home. I'm two hours over,

(01:03:10):
two hour drive home. I get home stripped down because
it's my rich you. I stripped down because I'm just
sopping wet from sweat. I've got to I've got a
tick on my leg and I look in the in
the mirror and I've got another tick on my back,
four ticks, and I've never had them before, even in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
Never made that drive, I would have gotten out. I
would have naked out where I was and looked. There's
no way that's I got a tick on me because
my boyfriend's lazy and he doesn't check as well. And
I know he had a chick on him one night
and I woke up in the morning and had it

(01:03:49):
on my I think it came from him.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
Way I.

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
You know what I'm saying, that's like the first place
you look, right, And I actually got limes disease from
I got really sick. I went to the doctor and
I'm like, you're gonna need to test me for lines
because I just ripped this tick off me. And sure enough,
so they treated me right away, and thank god, I
knew it was on me because they treated me and

(01:04:17):
I was fine a few days.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
But how soon can they test you for that? So
it'd be a good public service announcement here for those
that are listening.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Yeah, they can pretty early, even before you show, as
soon as I.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
Went in, and that was what a day after I
pulled it off. I guess a lot of people get
really really sick because they don't know they had a
tick on. But I actually knew I had a tick
on me, and then I got really sick. So I
put two and two together and I'm like, this ain't right.
So that's why I am testing me.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
But you.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
Think about if you had a tick on your back
or something you didn't know about it and you're sick,
that's the last thing you would think of.

Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
Sure, Yeah, I had said like when I pulled them off,
like they were I couldn't. I didn't feel like they
had bitten me because I didn't have any irritation with
those spots. But when I pulled it, I could feel
like they were latched onto the hair on my leg
or something like that. But it definitely didn't you know,
there's there's no marks, it didn't swell, you know, getting
any irritation. So I'm gonna say I didn't get bit

(01:05:21):
and I haven't felt bad. You know, it's been too weak. Three.

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
Yeah, you would would have known the next day.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
If I don't know if we're getting lime disease here
from tick bites? Are we? I know we get so
rock you're not spotted fever. I know we can get not.

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
Is it deer ticks that carry it? Because that's what
I've heard is back East you've got the deer ticks
and we don't have deer ticks here. It's a different
kind of tick. So we can get my fever.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
Yeah, yeah, but I don't know if we drink enough whiskey.
I don't think anything's gonna touch us.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Invincible blood, you know what I mean. Terrible though. I
don't want to know. Ticks crawling on me, I tell
you no. And I was gonna say after i'd found
like again, I'd never had ticks on me ever after
I found four of them. I was laying down that
night and everything was just it was crawling.

Speaker 3 (01:06:16):
Good to check yourself regardless every time he get done.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
And how I'm going to like, I'm gonna use spray.
I'm gonna, you know, like I'm going to actually do
that kind of stuff now you know, now that I've
experienced at least, so.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
See, you guys are lucky you don't have long hair,
because like I have my hair up and stuff. But
like if one guy under my hair, like I've had
my boyfriend check before, but he's useless. He can't see,
so he'll be like, oh, yeah, you're fine. I could
have fifteen in there and then and he shaves his
head so he has no hair on us. You're so lucky.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
Benefits of being bald right there. There you go.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Where were you guys at Tony to get that mean tech?
You were in tall grass?

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
Yeahs oh, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
I was in tall grass. Yeah, around the cottonwoods by
by the plat Okay, so yeah, they were coming up
from the grass. They weren't from the grass, no, no,
I mean move around the cottonwoods. But you know it
had to be from the grass. And I was thinking
about it, you know what I was. I was telling
Stephanie before we came on, like I've had to the
past couple of hunts, just sit because I've been getting

(01:07:27):
so hot lately from the heat and everything. I remember
laying down in the grass with Michael for five ten
minutes trying to you know, I don't want to hear anymore.
I don't want to hear anymore. I bet you that's
where they came from. Like they couldn't be.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Yeah, probably you were inviting them on you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
Yeah, I'm an idiot. Yeah, I'm gonna have to. I'm
gonna get on Amazon right now. Is there tick spray
or what here? I'm gonna have to get them. I
think there's any bunspray right With a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:07:59):
Of ray, they can still get on you. But I
think what's off is good for that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what here it? I
just I'll just go into the dog section. I'll get
fleeing tick stuff and just spray it all.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
Over your wife, give you a clean tick bath.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Yeah, yeah, I just do that. I don't know. The
way my scrim was, my skin was crawling. I might
just might just actually do that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
I definitely freaked out when I had one on me.
That one that got me sick is because I freaked
out and I ripped it off and the head was
still in there, and so then I had to go
in there with tweezers and try and get this freaking
thing out. And I think that's what screwed it up,
which is dumb, because I know how to remove ticks.
I do on dogs all the time, but when it's

(01:08:51):
on you, man, I just freaked out. I was like, oh, nope, nope,
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
I have a memory from my younger years that it
stayed with me all these years. But I don't know
the specifics of it, but I know I had this
big tick on my back when I was young, and
I remember they were trying to explain it to me,
and it was almost like it had been there for
a while, Like I don't know how long it had
been on there, but it had gotten big, right, and
it had like almost like a small lima bean or something,

(01:09:21):
and like had legs on the under side of it
and everything. And we were trying to figure out how
to get that out. And I remember my dad his
his his way was to heat up a bobby pin
held in a piece of pliers. He'd red hot and
then just start putting it close to its body and
it would pull its head out, it would release and
come out, and then they grab it and put it

(01:09:41):
on a squish it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
But I always remember that story. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
Yeah, wow, yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
I got I'm glad I didn't see that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
I have the story from what they were telling me
about it and how he just got it off me.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
Yeah, I just ordered deep Woods ticks. Yeah, I just
it'll be here tomorrow. Three cases, yeah, three specifically four ticks.
So I just I literally just ordered on Amazon. There.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
You know what's gonna happen now due to the mosquitoes
are gonna have a field day with you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
Sorry, we worked on tics.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Not mosquitos, right, yeah, right, So let me see how
about so using the dais what excice coil?

Speaker 1 (01:10:29):
You using?

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
Nine eleven inch? Depends on where you go.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
I have the HF elliptical and then I have the
HF Round one, and those are usually the two I use.
I usually bring both because I've had them die on me,
even though I'll charge them all the way. Sometimes once
in a great while, they'll just die. I don't know why,

(01:10:53):
and so I always bring two coils just in case
if I'm going a long ways or yeah I've been
us too many times and had to go all the
way back home.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
Oil smarter than I am. Yeah, anywhere where we were
at this hour?

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Yeah yeah, epic place to hunt, Like, oh my gosh,
like I have been waiting all my life for a
place like this to hunt.

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
It's gonna be amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
And then it didn't charge like I had it on
charger overnight. We were staying in Tony's cabin camper and
there was a few of us there and I it
must not have connected, right, you know that little connector right,
and it didn't charge the next thing I know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
But good thing. I had brought my legend with me
as a backup, so I was able to get to that.
But oh I was out in the field and was
nowhere near it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
I was like, oh man, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:11:45):
Well it's always good to bring it back up, that's
for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
Yeah, especially if you're at an epic place. You're gonna
be away from your car for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
Yeah. Yeah, not even close.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
So Stephanie, what's the oddest thing you've ever found?

Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
Metal?

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
The thing like just you can think back and go, wow,
that was really odd thing to find.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
I haven't seen too many of those.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
Human remains.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Oh yeah, that's god by accident or surface.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
Find No, I purposely go out looking for human remains. No.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
What I mean was like, you know, you found a
ring and it just happened had a fingerbone in it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
No, No, it was a construction site and and you
know I dig for fossils, so I know a lot
of bones I found a lot of dinsaurs, and these
bones did not look like any animal I'd ever seen.
It was just pieces of the bone. It wasn't a
whole body or anything like that. And they're old, old, old,

(01:12:47):
and I'm guessing they're probably like two three hundred years old.
They're very old. And so I called the cops come out.
That was a circus. They didn't they had no idea
what they were doing. They didn't even take all the
bones with them. They took some of them, and then

(01:13:09):
every time I called to get an update, they don't
have any updates. They're definitely human bones. I think they're
probably like probably enslaved laborers, and because they would bury
them just like in the backyard or whatever. And so
these construction sites, you know, sometimes they know where they are,

(01:13:29):
the gravesites are, and sometimes they don't undocumented. That's what happened.
But yeah, the the cops really didn't take care of
that very well. It's kind of weird. I didn't like that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
Yeah, let them have a peace in your mind.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Look, look, jerks, yeah you should be taking this a
little serious, a little more respect, or something like.

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
Come on, Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Tony found some bone remains as neither, though beaver remains. Yeah,
you found you found a beaver trap? Still have the
leg bone in it?

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
Wow, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
That's weird.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
It was weird rung up, like.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
The beaver died right there in the trap.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Yeah, and probably they trapped somebody. They trapped it and
never came back to uh check on it. And so
for beaver, I know, I'm sure he was dead right away.

Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
Oh that's yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:34):
Jim Jim Steel in the chat said he found a
human skull out in the desert in New Mexico. Oh
my goodness. Really that wouldn't it be? Like?

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
Yeah, isn't that weird? You know, you find a leg
or an armor or a rib or something like that,
and you know it based on the size or you know,
you're like, oh it's human. But if you found a
skull that would like that would freak you out. Yeah, right,
you know find that Yeah, totally totally different. Actually differently too,
because it makes it more recognition. Yeah, like who was this?

(01:15:09):
You know?

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
That's crazy?

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
What about favorite finds? We'll talk about some fines. We'll
talk about.

Speaker 1 (01:15:15):
Favorite fines and white whales and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
And metal detecting. I know, you know you got artifact
favorite fines too.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
Yeah, you've got some good stuff. What about metal detecting?
What do you think? The mirror vidis probably.

Speaker 3 (01:15:30):
Probably the slave tags. I don't They're probably my favorite
thing to say because I feel like I'm preserving a
part of history that needs to be preserved. And I
don't know, I I think I have emotional attachment to
that because, like Harry Tubman is my hero. So that's
my favorite thing to find, honestly. Obviously, coins Cobbs, my rvd's,

(01:15:56):
you know all that. Yeah, those are my first two.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
Eighteen thirty seven. Look at that one in the bottom,
that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
One of those was the ones that was rolled up
the border.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Okay, is that the oldest one that you found with
I mean at least with a date on it, eighteen
thirty seven, that's crazy. Yeah, we don't have.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
My boyfriend actually found that site. He ropp there and
I found the only two tags there. That's when we
first started detecting too. I was like to tell you, well,
there you go, well, ho, slave holes there were slave
holes everywhere there.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Oh wow, So you did that to him and then
he got you back with the mammoth teeth right next right, Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:16:47):
Yeah, his fossil So he's so good at fossil ho
I mean it's ridiculous. He just trips over megalodon teeth.
I mean literally, I've taken him mal detecting in the
middle of a swamp and he's found like a five
inch meg it on tooth playing there in the middle
of the swamp, Like what, how does this happen? But

(01:17:08):
yeah it does. He's a magnet. He's a magnet for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
You found megs before. How what's the biggest meg you've found?

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
Oh yeah, a little over six six?

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
Yeah, one, that's over six. I've got a few five inch,
hundred hundred maybe thousand. I've got a ton of teeth
a ton.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
Yeah, amazing, how you find me?

Speaker 3 (01:17:36):
Like a year ago, I had a sight that was
probably the best sight I've ever found in colored heather
there like rainbows. I haven't I haven't posted any videos
of Osha. I'm so behind in my videos. Yeah, that's
my six inch mag.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
That's incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Like, what were you thinking when you found that?

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
Because you were Oh I found I seen the tips.
It was upside down, just the tip was sticking out
because I was digging and I filmed the whole thing.
I was digging with a shovel and filming with one hand,
and I could not believe all the thousands of times
I have filmed teeth that that one was actually whole.

(01:18:21):
Usually when they're that big, they're never hole. And I
was pretty soapd Yeah, it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:28):
Was pretty stage.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Oh it's I think it's like two to twelve million
years old something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
Look at that just sitting there waiting for you to
come along. Yeah, and and find it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:43):
Wasn't sitting there. I was digging a hole that was
probably about us deep.

Speaker 1 (01:18:48):
Oh wow, yeah, I mean that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
It was there inside all that muckets is waiting for
you to come along.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Here. I am a gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:18:56):
And when you find something like that, like most other things,
do you just air it up in that area, like, oh,
if there's one, there might be more, or oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:19:04):
I kept trying to dig in the area. And then
the next day I got there and there's a guy
and his girlfriend, No, look at we found where you
were digging. They're like, look at this tooth I just found,
And I'm like, ah, that's a problem when people start
recognizing you, they're like, and they're always like, are you
finding anything? I'm never going to tell someone if I'm

(01:19:25):
finding something, I'm just not. I'm not, so of course
I'm gonna say no. And if they're smart, they won't
believe me, which these two were. And they got in
that hole and they ended up finding some really good stuff.
But that tooth there was the biggest tooth found in
the entire site.

Speaker 1 (01:19:43):
Wow. Yeah, it's amazing, that's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
That's that's our standard response. You guys find anything, a
lot of trash, a lot of jumps.

Speaker 3 (01:19:54):
Allow junk, which is true, like most times you find
a lot junk. So yeahm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
Well where are you going out next? Without giving us
GPS locations.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
Tomorrow?

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
So come tomorrow, Oh, let's see. You'll probably go mel
detecting tomorrow. Well, it depends on the weather. I haven't
looked at the weather. If it's going to be a
hundred again, gosh, I don't know. If it's raining, I'll
go look for arrowheads. If it's hot, I'll probably go
and detect for an hour or so, if I can

(01:20:29):
handle an hour. Just depends on the weather.

Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
Honestly, you're detecting the rivers and stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
You know, I haven't done that. I need to do that.
I just never have with the heat.

Speaker 1 (01:20:44):
Right, with the heat, some.

Speaker 3 (01:20:46):
Of the rivers are too deep to do that. But
I need to do that because you know, you can
find some good stuff in the water.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
And I know our friend Matt Howe over a gun
digging and he's always digging out in those blackwater rivers
of Virginia, and it's just amazing how much stuff he
finds and how he can find it in like thirty
forty feet of blackwater where you're just down there and
he's just feeling around and putting stuff into a sifting
basket and bringing it up.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
Just crazy. Yeah, you can find stuff if I.

Speaker 3 (01:21:19):
Can't see, though, I'm not doing it. Like I know
people that dive and they just like feel for stuff. No,
I'm not doing that. Yeah, all I have to do
is be able to see a little bit. If I
could see a little bit, I'm fine. I'll use my headland.
But there's people that just feel around for stuff. No,
I'm not doing that. There's aligators, there's steaks. No, I

(01:21:43):
gotta see a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
And that's not that they got that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:48):
Yeah, So any any discipline metal detecting, fossil hunting, Native
American artifact, rock counting, anything.

Speaker 1 (01:21:57):
Yeah, what if people, what if.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
People around you found a lot of that you just
haven't found yet that you just are kicking yourself because
you're you should have found it by now because everyone
around you find.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
Oh, mammoth tooth. I've found three quarters of man teeth.
There are pieces of mammoth teeth. I just never found
a whole mammoth tooth.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
But all the people you hunt with have found them
and you've No, I.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
Don't hunt with a ton of people. I hunt with
my boyfriend or I usually hunt alone. You know. I've
hunted with girls in the past and they've went back
to the sites I've brought them to and several times
I gained several chances. So I don't really hunt with
a lot of people. Is that because I'm mean or anything?

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
It's hard to trust, right.

Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
Yeah, it's hard to trust people. Others girls. I would
definitely take out, you know, from different states and stuff
like that, any like that, But on a daily basis,
I usually either go alone or if my my boyfriend
only goes to sites if they're good now metal detecting,
and it's gotta be good because he has no patience,

(01:23:09):
so he'll go once in a while if I tell
him about a good site, he'll go.

Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
Otherwise, I mean, I'm fine going alone because, like, I
work with dogs all day and it's chaotic and I
kind of enjoy the the Yeah. See that middle tooth,
that's a gomp of etherium tooth. My boy, what.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
Is that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
Yeah, that's a gamp ethereum. It's a different kind of
it's kind of like a mask on but same type
of animal. Yeah. I found the megs on the outside
of it, and he found that gamp tooth in the meddow.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
That's an amazing picture right there.

Speaker 3 (01:23:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
Yeah, that was a site that I found called the
Sloth Party. We named it the sloth Party because we
found somebody sloth tooth there, muscle.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
I was all right, obviously, like giant slough stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Yeah, giant sloth.

Speaker 1 (01:24:05):
Wow. So grooming dogs is hectic and chaotic sometimes.

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
Yeah, sometimes they're not all good. Sometimes they're stinkers. Most
of the time they're good, though. You know, I've been
doing it for twenty seven years now, so I don't
really take any more stinkers. I'm kind of picky now. Yeah,
I'm kind kind of set in what dogs I take now,
so most of my dogs are good, but you know,

(01:24:35):
I mean, it's just kind of it's it's nice to
just have a little solitude at the end of the day. Yeah, right,
I enjoy that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:43):
Mine doesn't like anybody touching his face. He just doesn't
like it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
I'm trying to learn how to homegroom him at home,
and it's it's it's so different.

Speaker 1 (01:24:51):
Like last night. He went to the vet yesterday and
I go, hey, why you got him here?

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
Because I can't stand clipping nails either, Like, it just
freaks me out, and I think it freaks him out.
So it took him to We had.

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
To take him the vet for some of the reason.

Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
I go, can you cut his nails while you have
him in the back there? And she goes sure, and
she was gone like two minutes, Max, and I go,
wait a minute, how did you do that? And she goes,
most dogs it's just because they're here, they're in this
strange environment. That's kind of like people do what they're
gonna do. And she goes, I've got to bring my
dog here to this office. To be able to cut
his nails because at home he spins in a circle.

Speaker 3 (01:25:23):
Yeah. Dogs are always worse for their owners, no matter what,
they always are.

Speaker 1 (01:25:29):
Yeah, so it's so fun.

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
Well, what do you what's on your metal detecting bucket list? Like,
what do you hope to find?

Speaker 3 (01:25:40):
Gold coin? Yeah, very very top is a gold escoodo.
I would love to find that. A copper kettle point,
ahing copper culture like that a big meeting, right, But basically,
like I said, a gold coin and a cattle point,

(01:26:02):
those are the really two that I really want to find.

Speaker 1 (01:26:05):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 3 (01:26:06):
I know the gold coin eat. You could find one anywhere.
It's just one and a million chants, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
Yeah? Yeah, well I'll tell you. I don't know if
I don't know if you know it or not.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
But being in guests here on Relative Radio is kind
of like a lucky rabbit's foot. Like when we interview
people and they say this stuff, the usually go right
out and find one.

Speaker 1 (01:26:27):
Not too much. Tomorrow's gonna be good for you. It's
gonna be really No.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
I would love that. I would definitely take a video
out if I find a gold coin tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:26:38):
I y yeah, give us a call, man, I'd love
to see that that we.

Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
Were just talking with a friend about we're talking about
our friend. Actually I came on our podcast and I
was like, he's the guy that just moved to North Carolina,
and I go, you know what were you saying till
we were like, you know, it's just a matter of
time because he moved from Colorado there, So everything he
finds is a bucket list, you know what I mean?
Like this all that, you know, I guess, just amount
of time before he finds a plate, you know, belt buckle,

(01:27:06):
this that, you know, artillery button, like all kinds of
stuff we're not really finding here.

Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
Sure enough, the next day he's like, next, belt plate, next,
literally the next day. Yeah, it just was.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
So then being cocky, we're like we're the new rabbit's
foot of the metal detecting industry. Shoot, well, I hope
you do. I hope you knock all those things off
your bucket List's going to be exciting. That exciting to
watch you on your YouTube channel. For those of you
that aren't subscribed yet to Stephanie, you got to go

(01:27:41):
over there and head out to her YouTube channel, which
Tony's putting the link into the channel into the chat
right now. We'll also have it down below in the
description of the video and also in the audio portion
of our podcast. It'll be down in the description. Go
ahead and check out see what she's doing. If you
like it, become a subscriber. That way you stay up
to date on all the new releases she puts out.

(01:28:04):
And when you know, go watch and see if she
finds that gold coin. She gives a relic radio shout out.

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
That's right, it'll happen.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
You you hunt so much, and yeah, you know, it's
just got to be the right spot, you know what
I mean, it's got to be sure that could possibly
have happened. But yeah, then again, when it happens, most
people aren't expecting it either.

Speaker 3 (01:28:26):
So that's true. Yeah, I definitely would not expect it
in any of the sites that I hunt because they're
not usually rich people that lived at these sites, but never.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
Yeah, that's the problem we have here in Colorado is
a lot of the sites we hunt are like pioneers
pushing west and they didn't have a lot of money,
so if they dropped a coin they found it, they
stopped everything until they found it. And we're just not
finding a lot of coins in the places where we hunt. Now,
Tony and I have both been lucky enough to find
gold coins, but we were hunting sort of military.

Speaker 1 (01:29:00):
Sites at the time.

Speaker 3 (01:29:02):
Yeah, so yeah, but most.

Speaker 1 (01:29:06):
They yes, yeah, well they can be a button or
a bullet.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Yeah, on the D two. On the D two was
like sixty eight sixty eight actually so it midtwne Yeah,
sixty eight higher mid tone. But that's where it was
ringing up there. In every program, it was hitting right
around sixty eight. That was a little one dollar one.
So again, it depends on size too, right. But so

(01:29:32):
my little one dollar coin, which is like the smallest.

Speaker 3 (01:29:35):
Well, mine will be a goal to scootle. So I'm
sure to be a same Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:40):
Yeah, there you go. That's the good that's the right attitude.

Speaker 3 (01:29:44):
I'd have a heart attack.

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
Yeah, stude, I would too, that's crazy. Well, look, Stephanie,
we've kept you long enough. You've been a great guest.
We appreciate you taking the time to step in here
and chat with us about your detecting and searching life.
You're your adventures out there. Sounds amazing, sounds great. Can't
wait to see you. Yeah, but yeah, we appreciate you

(01:30:09):
taking the time to come on and finding that meteorite
was just the most amazing thing because of the backstory
behind it, you know what I mean, because you can
talk to others that have found meteorites, but sort of
your like drive I want to go find one.

Speaker 1 (01:30:22):
Saw This article went out there, you know, even got
a ticket on the way back. Like the whole thing
was just cool. But you got these little space.

Speaker 2 (01:30:33):
All right, Well you check it out, hang out down

Thanks for thanks for coming on with this. All right,
we'll get to you in just a second.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
Another person, I think we could talk to you for
hours and hours, because.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
It's to like cut it off. I mean, there's other
podcasts they're going for three hours, but we hold so
true to our like cutoff point out of respect for
the guests we do. It's like, oh yeah, but I
still have all these other questions I want to talk
about I want to great. Guess that's awesome. We'll have
her back.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Home and she finds that goldiesqudo for sure. Yeah, so corpse,
Oh my gosh, we're mast it on tooth.

Speaker 1 (01:31:26):
That's right. You know what's gonna happen. Man, We're gonna

Speaker 1 (01:33:20):
That'd be awesome. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
I was just talking about David Rose actually just got
back from ragbra and uh yeah, pretty interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:33:29):
Little ride there was. He was.

Speaker 2 (01:33:33):
Writing in that Ragbray across Iowa. Right, that's across Iowa.
So all he's interested in that, would like to come
out and participate in that's sometime, that sort of rolling
circus that goes across Iowa sometime. And if I do,
you can show me where some gold coins are. So everyone,
