Thanks digging knuck. What's up, Liz Good? To see you. Nice, nice, Yeah,
welcome here. Well, let's let's talk about Rush to the
Rockies real quick. Well, I want to get over to
our our guests, and actually I want to mention real quick, guys,
we're doing a couple of giveaways tonight, so if you're
joining us early, you'll be uh, you know, Alijo, you

(06:31):
got to be in the chat here, but you'll be
excuse me, one of the first ones to get in
on this giveaway, and then we'll be doing another giveaway
later on in the show. So stick around and you know,
we'll let you know what you need to do. But Ken,
let's talk about Rush of the Rockies real quick.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, Rush to the Rockies twenty twenty five. We're calling
it Rush to the Rockies Rendezvous twenty twenty five. It's
happening this year May thirtieth through June June first, So
that's a Friday, Saturday and Sunday five hunts over two days.
So Fridays, out of a registration, come in, get to
know everyone, see everything, get your bearings about you, and

(07:05):
then Saturday and Sunday five hunts going on. And if
you've ever been to a restaur Rockies hunt, you know
a couple of things, one extremely well organized. Two more
than one hundred percent goes into the ground and everyone
always says, ken, how could that possibly be. Here's what happens.
We run the hunt usually off of club funds. Eureka

(07:27):
Treasure Hunters Club puts this on. They're one of the
best treasure hunters clubs detecting clubs in the nation. They've
been around since nineteen seventy three. They have about one
hundred and fifty members. They're going strong, a great club,
and they have funds that they can help run this hunt.
They also have funds where they can go buy additional
coins and all kinds of different stuff. Matter of fact,
we're already buying coins, and we just opened up registration,

(07:51):
so we already have coins to put out there. So
all the entry fees that come in go towards buying
coins and trinkets and whatever else we're putting into the
ground and putting them out there. It's going to be
a great, great three days. Lots more to come on that.
We We are constantly adding things. Lots of support from
our manufacturers that support us every year. Love them, love

(08:15):
them for taking care of us. You know, there's so
many hunts out there these days. These manufacturers have got
to be just inundated with you know, come support our hunt.
But tell you what, the manufacturers that support our hunt
have been doing it every time we have a hunt,
and they've just stood up and stepped up. So we
appreciate them. Oh in Kyowa, where is it at?

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, Iowa, Kiowa, Kiowa, Colorado beautiful Kiowa. Yeah, Grandma's ropes.
That's right, lots of them. If you came last rush
to the Rockies, you'll know that we're at of eight
eighty five hundred feet and we're just going straight up
the hill. A lot of our hunt fields were on
about a forty percent grade. Had to be part billy

(08:57):
go part moose to kind of get up areon hunt. Well,
we listened to some people and they kind of said,
you know, that was just a little too challenging. So
this year we brought it down to the Colorado Plains,
so not exactly pure flat ground, but definitely not hillside,
not sloped, just sort of prairie ground. Okay, So we
listened and it's gonna be probably a much better time

(09:19):
for people, especially if they had a little trouble with
that on the last time.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
You're still you're still gonna need some oxygen. You just
looked it up to confirm it. Six and seventy eight
feet is where Kylee is. So we're still up elevated,
just not up on that mountain like we were last year.
That's true. So it's true. Yeah, yeah, more to come
on that for sure. Yep, yep, yep. Follow us on
social mediu and we'll let you guys know more about

(09:43):
it when it comes out. We should have a u
more specific information by next week, within the next week,
so stay tuned for all that stuff down there.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
B three, B three three. Everyone's taring ready to do
this quick promoting your darn hunting. I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Let's talk to the guests. We wanna, we wanna, That's
why we're all here. So are you ready for this?
Let's do it there? Well well three relic recovery Chris.

stuff and and and featured some of your I was
looking today. I think I featured your three hundred sub
giveaway and your thousand sub giveaway, kind of watching you
grow throughout the years, and uh yeah, it's cool to

(10:41):
finally get you on Relics Radio here, Chris. So thanks
for spending some time with us and coming on to
talk about things. Absolutely yeah, Chris. Uh, why don't we
start with where you're at in this world? I think
that you said that you were in a place that
currently has no relics and no coins. It's kind of

(11:03):
a real sad place, according to two people from.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Their area, any detectorists, Yeah, yeah, where are you?

Speaker 3 (11:12):
I'm in Ohio? Yeah, there's nothing left here.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah, I've heard that a lot of people tell me
that all the time because I used to say it's
the best kept secret in detecting, and boy I got
the hate mail for that one. People really put me
in my place. How long you been detecting, Chris?

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Oh see, I started when I was young, just with
a cheap detector.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
That my grandma got me. This time, I don't even
know my kids were really little another all grown up.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, yeah, that's been a while.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Fifteen sixteen now, so like ten years.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah. What do you using out of detect.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'm still on the AT pro. I have my AT
pros my go to.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
But I have the Amphibio and I've got a ACE
three hundred that's been on the wall river, but the
Amphibio on the at pro but my at pros my
my every day.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, you get to know, you get to know it, right,
and you're just like man, I can I can tell
the dates of those coins with that.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah you know what I mean? Great machine? Yeah yeah, really,
uh really changed a lot of detecting like that. That
and it's been strong for many, many years. I went
from these two fifty up at uh, the prop and
man just changed the whole world. And that thing's so strong,
it's it's a great, great machine, great US machine, great

(12:48):
gear products. So you can't beat the Garretts, right, I
have a whole bunch of them on the wall back here.
I get over there. Actually.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, So your grandmother got you, like why like why like,
uh did she hear you talking about interest in it?
Or do you see that this would be a great
thing to get you out of the house.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
And I don't even I don't even know why she
got me. Probably probably just give me out of the house.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Was your interest was your interest in the treasure or
history or or kind of you know, one or the other. Uh.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
When I when I was little, it was treasure for sure.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
But now yeah, I'm all about I love going into
old houses or.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Going into museums, just taking it all in.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, Tony and I talk about that all the time,
and a lot of our guests too. Like I had
no interest in history, you know, zero didn't ever have
a teacher that made me, uh, you know, inspired me
to be interested in it. Never did. And then man,
as soon as I got a detective, my world changed,
like because now I wanted to do all kinds of
researchers to you know. And it's probably it's like that

(13:58):
with you, Chris, Like once you go into it, the
bug really bit you. Did you just start doing a
ton of research, like what kind of things were around
me here? Right?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
You do you get like that, You just start doing research.
You're like where was the circus? Like, where were the
bars at? Where were you know, where were the churches at?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Where were the schools?

Speaker 1 (14:16):
And shoot, you can go down a rabbit hole.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, yeah, big time. I was just gonna say, how
about when you know, when you first started out and stuff,
what what was that relic that just got you hooked.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
It's probably my first Indian that. Just as soon as
I got that, I'm like, yep, let's go.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah. If there's that, there's more, And if there's more,
there's other stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Right, do you still have it? I do? Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Actually in a case in my relic cabinet.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, did you know other people around you that were
metal to acting?

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Like?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Were you able to? Are you a solo Metal Detectors
or do you hook up with Peter?

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Uh? Well, for the for the most part, I'm by myself,
but we do have a group called PG five. It's
myself from Flashing your pan. Uh, Jersey Raid Diggs nailed
the detecting and Ohio metal mav ah.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, Jersey Raid posted. Yeah, look at that, she said.
I uh uh team you know, hashtag team PG five.
PG five, that's right. Does that stand for something?

It does.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
A did we discuss?

Speaker 3 (15:42):

gold prospecting?

Speaker 2 (16:58):

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Sometimes that d got me into Dad.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
I've been to Flashbash several times and then uh got
my drinks they're from my sluice there and I got
three there. Yeah, he's had me over to the shed
and showed me all his bucks.

Also know he's got there's nothing, nothing, nothing else. Don't
even a.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Couple of pans loose dirt. That's about it. Yeah, yeah,
that's another thing that bites you right, Like you get
a little color and you're like, I've got ten sluices,
now about eighteen pants I got, you know, magnifying that
class sluice sucker, you know, a crevice sucker.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Well, when you first start, everything that glitters in there,
that gold is it?

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Not that?

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Right?

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Who could have got?

Speaker 1 (17:53):

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Go, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Ken and I had been out here in Colorado. We
went to a couple of times together and stuff, and
gosh that we are. The first time we went out
it was probably it had to have been five, six,
seven years ago or something. I took my son. If
you guys been watching Adventures for a while, my son
used to be on the channel at the time. Kayden,

(18:23):
we took him out. We got I got all my
crap piled inside this backpack with all these buckets, and
we're hiking down to the river to the creek here.
He was like, yeah, all right, Caden, turn around, put
the pack on, grab those buckets, let's go. Ken and
I are just kind of, you know, heading down the
hill and he's dragging everything behind him. He's like, I
don't know if I like this. Yeah, right, the reason

(18:45):
why we brought you along, dude.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Starts shoveling buckets full of loads of.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Uh yeah, that's hard work, it is.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
That's not as easy as metal detecting, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah. Yeah, you got a whole bunch of you know,
flex and and and any any pickers in your collection.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Nothing that I found that. I've got some from other
people that sound.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Are there gold producing rivers and stuff near you or
do you guys have to travel quite a bit to
get into some golden weave.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Most of the stuff that we go find is on
the East side.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, gotcha, Yeah, uh yeah, I never I thought every
time I talked to Ed it sounded like he traveled,
you know, to go get into get into water and stuff.
So yeah, they have some here, you know, but it's
really fine. It's that really fine flower gold that you know,

(19:49):
it takes a lot to accumulate, so basically you're just
going to get the excitement of a little bit.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Of color, you know.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, there's no gold in New Jersey. Oh yeah, see
you tell me that tim of that, Rachel, And then I.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Think, yeah, I'm thinking that's what we're going first, I
know how this this chat goes. They're throwing you off
the scent all the time.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
So you got that first Indian head penny and then uh,
you know were you basically? Were you? Did you start
off as like when you started? Like how did you
learn what to do? Where to go? Did you watch videos?
Like did you ask a friend?

Speaker 3 (20:34):
I started watching YouTube.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
The first person I got into it was addicted Tops.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, yeah, great channel and.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
That was hilarious, and then I moved on from there.
Then let's see after that, I started watching quarter Order.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah, it just took Yeah. So were you chasing? So
people are either looking for coins, looking for relics, or
looking for jewelry and gold in the parks and stuff
like that, Like did you have a specific thing you
went after or it was sort of like, Hey, wherever
I can go, I can find something. And if I'm

(21:18):
going to a park, I can find this. If I'm
going to a field, I can find this.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
I'm kind of a coin shooter, but I'd rather find tokens.
Tokens like the favorite thing.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Oh man, cool, there's some good. Yeah, tokens are good
in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, I love tokens. Man, some people don't like them.
I could find sales tax tokens all day long, like
you know, and then the occasional merchant. I can find
merchant tokens all day long.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
We've got the sales tax tokens because you know, being
the thirties and things at that in Ohio, you guys
will have the Civil war tokens. Yeah, civil War era tokens.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
You found any of those, Chris No.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
I found one good luck token and it was weird
because the day I found it in the field in
a farm field, and the day I found it was
the same day that my mom's friend bought the building
that that token went to.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Oh no, kill what that's a story.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
They wanted to buy it off of me.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
I said they could borrow to display if they wanted,
but I don't want to sell it yet.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
They're like, no, that's cool. That's a cool story. Though.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Was it the one that just said good luck on it?
Or did it have the like the swastik on it?

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Did it? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Were they like what is that?

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Like? You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (22:40):
When people first see that, they're.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Like, well, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
I don't want that.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
I never found one of those where I found a
number of tokens, but usually around here in the west, right,
because we don't go back very far, right, nineteen fifty
eighteen fifties, maybe at the earliest. You get a lot
of merchant tokens, you know, good for trade.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, Tony.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
The mining towns, Yeah, mining towns, you find some stuff.
Didn't you find a brothel token, Tony? Or was that
just a standard merchant token up when you were digging
with Melby?

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (23:15):
That was just a merchant token, Okay, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I know we started talking about brothel tokens and yeah,
and you go sometimes I think it was good for
five cents in trade.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, brothel token.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Cheap. No, not the brothel to I mean I was
gonna say the only the only good luck tokens I
were fine are the ones with the heads and the
tails on them. Yeah, the ones I'm talking about with
the heads on one side the tails on the other.
I've got a couple of those in the the case
over here. We'll save those for a different show.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
The after hour show. That's the eleven eleven PM show. Yeah.
I love tokens, man, I love yeah, because they're personal,
they're they've they you know, they touch a time at
a time in history, you know, a certain area. I
love researching him too, Like somebody in our club will
find one like Carrie Carry found that one from Kansas. Yeah,

(24:17):
some guy had his name of his his mercantile on
there and the whole thing. And I started digging into
research and uh, shoot, next thing, you know, like I
know everything about this guy's life, Like I know his
brother had a place there. They were really well known,
like you know, his mother died kind of tragically, and
like I started digging up all these newspaper articles. I

(24:38):
can go right down the rabbit hole. Do you do that, Chris?
Do you when you start doing research? Do you find
yourself like, Yeah, what's the furthest down you've gone? Like
if you contacted people that may have still been related
to somebody that may have.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
I don't like I've about that far. But I did research.
So we had a lot. The town then is a
trade town, so they have they had a trading post
and all soldiers and camps and everything. So I researched
all that because there's supposed to be a hidden treasure
around here that.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
The soldiers like stole a whole bunch of stuff and
hit it somewhere.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
And I'd be on that trail.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Treasure legend, local treasure legends.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Those are great. Those are great. They do make for
great for great videos too, for sure. Yeah, people are
interested in that kind of thing. You know, everybody knows about,
you know, specific battles and and and areas and then
as that, but a local legend legend, you know, lower
those kind of different things. They really can drop people
in because if you haven't heard about it, you're like,
oh my gosh, you know that, that's such an interesting thing,

(25:48):
and then you get other people to go down the
rabbit hole. They start doing the research and things like that.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
So yeah, absolutely, we uh, Tony and I have been
lucky enough that we kind of touched one. It's it
wasn't a treasure legend. It was just it was a legend,
historic legend from around here. And there's conflicting reports, but
Tony and I have actually touched it, and we're pretty

(26:13):
sure we've found this location that was talked about a lot,
and we don't want to say too much, but it
was just like that's it. That's the place, you know,
that's that's exactly where it was and so then some
other stuff happened there. So now we've been trying to
find out some evidence of some other stuff, and we
have found some other evidence. Just it's always cool when

(26:35):
you kind of get on a place like that where
you're just like, Wow, this is the actual place where
they were talking about you know.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
What?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yah, Kentucky said, never heard of a treasure or hoard
in Kentucky? Never?

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, right, never never. I think I'll watched an expose
on that. Yeah, absolutely, two episodes. Yeah. Over in the chat,
tim Ildigger says, Chris, what's the oldest silver coin you
found out Metal Tech team?

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Not that old?

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Uh yeah, probably.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
You found seated.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
No, I haven't uh.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
I think like probably just a forty something quarter mm hmm,
just Washington.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
I haven't found a murk yet. That's that's my white.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, we were going to ask you about that. Yeah. Yeah.
M A.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Lynman sent me a white wheelbox a long time ago
and it's still close.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
I still don't know what's in there. You can haven't
found that, Mark oh.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Man, I really haven't opened it. From Mike Climbing, you said, yep, yeah,
another good guy.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
He said, he said, what what is it?

Speaker 4 (27:51):
I said's a mark, And then as soon as I
said it, I said, I screwed myself.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
I'm never finding a mark.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, well, Ken, you said, uh, get what is it
that dig that beep? Which one dig that beep? Or yeah,
dig the beep? Where they focus on you, I mean
you'll find a murk if yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, they focus on like homes built in the nineteen
forties because they said there's so much silver from that
time period that was produced that that's your best chat
chance of finding sober. And if they're not digging solver,
within like ten minutes of them going to property, they split,
they go to somewhere else. They play the numbers, you know,
and if you ever watch their channel, man, they find

(28:30):
so much sober ridiculous murk has a special place in
my detecting history. So Tony and I met each other
on a forums. You know, we didn't know each other
at all. We just you know, had screen names and everything,
and it was like.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Hey, I'm in Colorado. Hey I'm in Colorado.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Found out we were about an hour half apart. He's
down south, I'm up north.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
So we make it. We make it decision.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Hey, We're gonna get together and dig together see what
each one is about and all that stuff. So I
invite them up to a park that and I had
just started detecting, like I hadn't been detecting hardly at all.
I had this little fifty dollars metal detector or something
like that. And I invite Tony up and we go
hit this park. And I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
How many old park. It was an old park.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh yeah, old park been around since the beginning of
the town, so eighteen seventies. Really, he's been around so
and they've used this park for like like you know,
wagon races and then the circus used to come there
and all kinds of stuff. But it's built up, you
know what I mean, They've just they've built it up
over the years. She usually only find modern rings and

(29:37):
watches and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Jewelry.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
I ended up finding a mercury time and Tony just
about coming gluede. He's like, that's it. I'm done detecting
with you.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
First time we had ever been detecting together. And I
tell you, he pulls u. It took me, I mean
it took me I think two years to find a
murk and and ken was we were at I think
we were in downtown Denver when we were hunting and
I pulled a merk. That's actually another funny story is
when we got there, we got the permission and we're like,

(30:11):
all right, how do you want to split up the yard?
You want to go left or right? And Ken chose
to go to the right side or no, you went
to the left side. That's what it was. You went
to the left. I went to the right and I
was underneath the tree the whole time, which was great
because it was just so fricking hot. And then I
ended up pulling a mirk out of that side. Is

(30:31):
my first ever mrk, and I was so excited. Ken
was there, so yeah, they're out there. You just got
to get on those nineteen thirties nineteen forties houses.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
And when I found mine that first one, I didn't
really quite know what I had. I just know, like you, Chris,
from watching videos, a merk was something cool that everyone
was looking for, just like a nine to two five ring.
I didn't really know what a nine two five ring was,
but I know if I found one it would be
very special. That's how new I was, you know, And

(31:03):
I'm looking at this murk and of course it became
one of my favorite coins.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, I love that coin. Ye.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
I was gonna ask you this later, but Lily brought
this up.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Your daughter. Oh oh, you're in trouble now.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
She said, I'm excited for Father's Day so we can
do our metal detecting at the lake. Does anyone else
go out with their family for Father's Day and detect?
So I got a bunch of questions about this, right, Like,
that's awesome, that's awesome. Does your family go out with
you or like only like this on special occasions? And
what do they think about this crazy hobby you're into.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
So originally the kids went up with me all the time,
and now it's just basic footballer's day treat. But our
our thing is every special spot we're going every year
we go, we find an Indian.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Oh yeah, that's that right every time? Do your kids
ever find something better than you? And you're like, darn kids.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
They kind of just stand around and then they'll dig
the hole and then I'll let them find whatever is in.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
They don't like, okay to talk, but we're going in
the water.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Yeah that's a great memory. That's an awesome memory. Wow.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
So you and the chat if you guys, go out
with your family. Let Lily know, let her know what
you do. I know with me, when I was into
gold prospecting, which was before metal detecting, my youngest son
and I used to do that together and he was
really into it. My oldest son was like, Eh, I'm
not going to go in the water and blah blah
blah and uh, but they were really into it. My

(32:49):
youngest son never came metal detecting with me, but my
oldest son finally did came out and uh and did
did some metal detecting with me. And we were at
a school and he found her ring right and I thought, oh,
that's gonna hook him, you know what I mean, he
found a ring at a school, That's that's gonna hook him.
But he was just like, eh, like it wasn't for him,
you know what I mean. He's like a bit, what's

(33:10):
the big deal? I found a ring? I go, you
don't understand, Like that's you know, that's a aha moment,
you know. You know, he didn't really care. So they
didn't get into it, but they have come out with me.
I actually have a nephew that has been out with
me more than my kids.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
But they're all older now, they're all you know, out
on their own lives and and kind of living their
own lives and stuff in various states and stuff. So
and Tony, I know you've brought Brenn out with Caden.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. It is kind of a
cool thing. You know, you're getting getting the kids out
away from the TV, out from the computers and video games,
and you know, going enjoying and making those memories and
things like that too. So yeah, I've got some really
good memories of digging with Caden, for sure. It's something
something I miss. You know, he just grows up, you know,

(33:58):
like you said, Chris, they just kind of grew up,
going on their way and have different interests and things
like that. But at least you still have the memories,
you know from before. That's great.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
I used to watch you guys. I was team garbage

Speaker 1 (39:21):
All right, what do you want to so you said
you're wi on your white whales? Was a merk? What
else you got on your list? What's your what? Not
a white whale? But what's on your bucket list?

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Man?

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Well, I'll tell you this story. There was a house
right down to where I worked. It's bold tyle Rue
it was, and nobody lived there forever I passes for
years gone. I wanted to detect that house someone by
finally and I'm like, I'm gonna go ask them, and

(39:58):
I kept putting all I kept putting off. Then in
one of the local metal detecting pages on Facebook, I
saw standing in front of that house holding a Morgan dollar.
Oh and he was like five feet off the front porch.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Ah, you wouldn't have missed it, Like, oh, man, dang
so so so Uh a Morgan dollar, That's shoot, that
would be crazy. I've never I have found a a

(40:39):
Kennedy half dollar, but I don't think I've ever found
because it was what Eisenhower dollars, you know, and then
going backwards obviously, so man, to find a Morgan, that'd
be crazy.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
It would be Can you imagine it'd be crazy to
find a walker, like I haven't even found a walker,
you know what I mean? Yeah, and uh something like that.
I think that's silver quarters about the biggest I've found,
and just crazy. You know, you just never know. You
gotta hunt places where they'll be, you know. But but
even that, you just you don't know, like you're lucky

(41:15):
enough to find a gold coin and where it was like,
we didn't really think there'd be any kind of possibility
because back then, if you dropped a gold coin, if
you were a soldier or something, you were paid with
gold coins, you dropped when you're probably gonna go find it,
you know, so, but you just never know. I'm still
waiting for the day I hit this big signal. I'm

(41:37):
so tuned into never finding one. I don't know if
I would dig that signal, Like it's gonna hit right
up there in my scale and I'm like, oh man,
deep can sitting there?

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Morgan? Right? Any two inches under the dirt? Probably?

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Oh man, that's that's that's right.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
That'd be incredible, that absolutely incredible for sure. Yeah. Do
you think found two halves and both of them were seated?
How about that? Oh my god, it's not even cool. Yeah,
you should just give up. Just uh you know what.
I'll tell you one thing.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
I bet you Ohio, Nick, you're not doing very well
for these Ohio people there.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Want to say all your fines. Man, you're gonna have
people going to Ohio now.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Jennifer Hipkins, Good to see you, Welcome, Welcome, Meryl Busting,
good to see you. Welcome to the show. I've seen
a lot of new names coming in here. Keith, you
know we said hi earlier. Thank you, Mary, thank you
for being here.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Awesome.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Congratulations on the sticker pack. We'll be doing some more stuff.
Keep digging. That murk will show itself. Yes, it will
when you at least expect it. Yeah, Chris, Yeah, I
mean at least expect it. That's when it's gonna come.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
It'll it'll end up coming when you're on a site
from like eighteen sixties and all of a sudden you'll
get a you know, a nineteen thirty five MRK, Like,
what is this doing here?

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Right, yeah, it'll be it'll be that a like just
like that. Yeah, that's when it'll happen. Well, anything else
on that list for you besides a Morgan? I mean
Morgan that's pretty damn good. Anything else, any any relics
that you want to find that you haven't come across see.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Probably a time. Uh yeah, I can go on forever
because I haven't found everything I want. I haven't found
any three rings and I haven't found uh i'd like
a merry widows.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Just oh, we were talking about that earlier, were you yep,
big big bucket list time.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
I've never dug one. Yeah, I've never dug one. Just
there's just it's it's a unique part of history that's
very identifiable, and you know, it's just kind of a
neat relic for sure. I'd love to find one of those,
not used, of course, but just I just wanted to
clarify that. There so many different directions with that. But

(44:21):
I'm not going to it's gonna let it lie. People
are going, what are three merry widows?

Speaker 1 (44:25):
See what I want to used?

Speaker 2 (44:26):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (44:31):
How about thimbles?

Speaker 3 (44:32):
Man?

Speaker 1 (44:32):
You found any thimbles?

Speaker 4 (44:33):
Oh no, no, that is something I keep looking for.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
Yeah, every time I think it's a thimble, it's a topic.
A pencil.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Oh right, right, you find those a lot, man, And
you know there's a way you can age those top
of the pencils too. I forget that they're called something, right,
aren't they called something? Yeah, like the size of them.
Because Tony and I hunt schools a lot, I'm looking
those for those old schools.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Now.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
I can't tell you how to judge the date, but
I know there's information out there where somebody's like, yeah,
if it looks like this and has this many rings
on it and it's this size as far as length,
it's this age, just like square nails.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Right.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
I never really know you could date square nails until
I watched a video from Digging with seven and he
talked all about how to date square nails and what
a rosehead square or a squareenail was. I didn't even
know about that, but really opened my eyes, like, holy cow.
So now I see a square nail. I'm like, that's
pre nineteen nine er squareenail right there. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
You know there's somebody out there that knows everything and
anything about erase or toppers. It's the whole website, a
YouTube channel. You know, they have one point three million subs,
and then you know that's all they talk about.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Fennel. It's called a fenyl, that's right.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Ah, look at that.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
It is called the Fennel that's right. Who would have
known people.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Do know the stuff? Huh.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
Right, there's a website, there's a YouTube channel called the
Fennel Boys, and that's all they do. That's all they
do is they talk about.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Uh boys. Uh jeez.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Uh So how about civil war. You said you might
have civil war near you. Yeah, you've gone after all.
You say, I haven't found a three ringer, but any
other kind.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
Of relics, I haven't found anything that good.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
I know, down.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
About south of here there's a fort and they were
doing a dig and uh, I wasn't allowed in it, but.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
They found a lot.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
They found a lot there.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Yeah, I'm always looking for like I'm tearing out streets
and you know, tearing down homes and some old areas.
You know, I first go to a new neighborhood or
new town. I'm always looking like go on Zillow, like
we were talking about Tony and I look for the
old old neighborhoods, you know. And I'm driving around just
kind of looking for tore up sidewalks and stuff because

(47:18):
that usually shows age. And if I ever see him
tearing down a house, I'm like, hello, you know, hopefully
I can catch somebody there. A lot of times they're
no one around, but I'll wait for a fence to
go up and then I'll go start talking to the
contract And I'm in construction, so I'm always carrying a
safety vest with me in.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
A hard hat.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
You know, like I'll come in. As a matter of fact,
they were doing a they were doing. They were replacing
some volleyball courts in this old park in Fort Collins,
this town near me, and I went over there just
to take lunch from my work. And I was over
there in this park, just parked, having a sandwich, you know,
nice scenery, and I saw him digging out this volleyball court.

(47:58):
They got orange construction surround it. So I go over
there and I'm looking in there and stuff, and I
asked the guy said, hey, you know, I think I
can get in here, and blah blah blah. The people
always drop stuff in volleyball courts, so I don't care.
I said, okay, I'll put on pp and all that stuff.
So I had to get back to work though, so
he said, you didn't care. I went back to work,

(48:19):
came after work and they were just packing up and
they left. And then I came out and opened up
the fence and went in and I started digging and detecting,
and these guys came back to pick up this machinery
and You're like, hey, what are you doing in here?
And I just waved to them, just wave to them.
You know, because I was quite a ways away and
they're like, all right, cool, yeah, have fun. Yeah, got

(48:40):
to carry the safety vest and the hard heads for sure.
Where did you come up with the tagline? We've got
a lot of ground to cover? So I saved a
lot of your merchandise, got a lot of ground to cover.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
That just came out of me one day and I went,
I like that, I'm going to use it now on.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Yeah that was cool, you know, on a sweatshirt and
all your merch Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
Yeah, he's got a merchandise site on Bonfire over there,
and he's we're gonna put the link in the chat.
You guys can go on and check it out. He's
all kinds of stuff, man, you know, the shirts and
mugs and just all kinds of stuff and it's really cool.
He's got a lot of American flags and stuff and
we've got a lot of ground to cover. I like
it too, I really did. I was like, man, I

(49:22):
should get me some shirts that say there's some hoodie
or something.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
M absolutely mm hmm. See.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
I think I saw a video about you when you
first started. You said he started with like this old
bounty hunter and then no pinpoint or anything. Do you
remember when you first got your first pinpointer and what
a revelation it was?

Speaker 4 (49:47):
Yes, yes, Well, well the very first one I got
was a cheap knockoff and that that wasn't work.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
You had to touch whatever it was it to go off.
Then I spent the money and got the Carrot, and yes,
that was like hallelujah.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Yeah, the Carrot's a great pinpointer, man. I think it'll
always be just a classic staple pinpointer.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
It is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And people always ask me,
you know what, which I am just starting out? You know,
definitely support getting a pinpointer because it makes life a
heck of a lot easier. But they're like, which one
should I get? There's so many, you know, it's like
the at Pro. You know, it's been out there, it's proven,
it works all the time, customer service through Garrett's phenomenal,

(50:34):
you know, all those different things. I mean, I think
I've got I've got two more brand new ones up here.
I think I've gone through three other carrots. It's like
the pinpointer that I just can't get away from. Yes,
I just love that.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
There's all over, even though I do love my I
six from XP. It's really cool. It hooks up to everything.
So I've been loving that thing like crazy. But my
my goat too all the time has been the Carrot.
Like I've had other brands and stuff and try them
all and stuff, and uh, it was always the Garrett.
I always go back to the Garrett. So easy to

(51:09):
use and just all right there. But yeah, they I six.
Now I'm using this is I love it. Hey flashes
in here? What's up ed on here?

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Yeah? Yeah, could see ed used to see.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
I just got to hear all the dirty deeds and
dirty dirt about your little group of people's nickname there,
what do they call it? PG five fam? Hear all
the dirty secrets. Do you have a lot of equipment, Chris?
There's a lot of people that say, oh, man, yeah,

(51:43):
I started with one and now I got one hundred
and fifteen.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
Okay, the three detectors, two pin pointers, and pack I
got the gray ghost.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Yeah yeah, yep, great ghosts. Their headphones. You ever use
their headphones?

Speaker 3 (52:06):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Okay, what kind of shovel are you using these days?

Speaker 3 (52:11):
It's just a something I got a I.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Think, yeah, yeah, just a spade type of spade.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
Yeah, I keep going to get a grave digger support,
you know, and.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Uh yeah, he's uh, he's he's packed it up. Now. Yeah,
he's kind of taking if you had heard that he
took U. He went on Facebook said he's gonna just
cost of you know, cost of things, cost of living
and things like that. So it's unfortunate. But uh, I
was with I was with him for nearly since the beginning,

(52:42):
you know, same exact thing is, actually I won hit
a shovel detection connection from he's in Ohio as well.
He was doing a giveaway and it was a grave
digger shovel and I ended up winning it, and I
ended up talking with Don, getting real close with Don
and stuff. I'm like, hey, and I you know, I
love Ohio, I'm from Ohio. I want to come out

(53:03):
and dig in Ohio and I'll come up and pick
up my shovel from you. So I flew out there
and we went digging and everything, and yeah, come to
find out you know where uh where Grave Diggers lives
and things like that is like right around down the
street from my grandparents and so, you know, big supporter
of grave digger shovels, and you know, I was pretty
sad to see, uh you know all USA made. He

(53:25):
made all his own shovels. I mean I've got I
I think I've got four or five shovels of his.
I think they're phenomenal shovels.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
They're a beast man, They're just I remember when you
first one you brought around me. I was like, what
is that? And You're like, I'm knocking down trees with
this thing?

Speaker 2 (53:40):
And no, kid, it's a beast it it doesn't bend,
doesn't flex, and it just does the job man. And
I think it's phenomenal. Like I said, I think I've
got four or five of those things. I had everything
down I had. I have the the hand digger. I've
even got the little one you know that's it was
a twenty four inch whatever, kind of like the one
and the digger Charlie uses. You know, he's got a

(54:01):
real short one. I got a couple of the bigger nemesis,
I think is what I have. Yeah, great, great shovels.
And sad to see you know, you know something like that.
You know, I hope he'll come back. You know, it's tough.
It's tough right now. So support Ohio. That's right. What's

(54:22):
with Ohio? Man, everything good comes from Ohio. What do
you want talking about?

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Yeah, I'm the only non Ohio guy here.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
I think the most US presidents have been born in
the great state of Ohio. It's funny my wife is
now fed up with me because we'll be watching NFL.
I'll be watching watching like Jacksonville against Green Bay or
something like that. Right, you know, two teams that I
don't even much follow, and some guy will make a
huge hit. I say, hey, you know where he went

(54:52):
to college? My wife is like, Ohio State, yep, yeah,
sure did. How do you know this, Tony? I Where
else would he come from and make that kind of hit?
Come on.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
When I grew up, college ball wasn't very It wasn't.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Very big at all.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
You know.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
It just wasn't a thing like people knew about. I
guess you had the fans of it, but it's not
like you know, places like Ohio and stuff, where like
college is everything in Texas, college is everything that other
state that starts with the M, college is everything, you know,
But where I grew up, it just it wasn't like that.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
It was never got into a college football man. It's yeah,
football was Football is good in Ohio. Yeah, Chris, any
place you want to dig?

Speaker 1 (55:38):
Like, uh, you know, you get your wish, you can
go dig anywhere you guys, anything you would like. Yeah, man,
that'd be cool to go there and dig.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
I don't know, I've been asked that before. I don't.
It's anywhere, really, I don't anywhere new.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Anywhere new. That's a great answer. Yeah, I'm the same way.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
It's like, man, you know I have a friend call
me or something like, hey, man, come check out this
this uh, this permission of mine. I'm like not because
like what I might find at this new permission, but
it's just someplace new. I'm like, cool, man, you know
Cindy Cindy in the in the chat, I think it
went out with Cindy and as a man, like she
took me to a place I'd never been before and

(56:23):
it was beautiful, Like I spent more time looking around
at the scenery and just appreciating where I was than
than digging.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Really, you know, we're going to change gears here. Let's
talk about something I didn't know anything about. Here. I'm
on I'm on face. Here's a little backstory. I'm on Facebook,
just kind of scrolling around and I see this book
that's on Facebook and the name connected to it is

(56:53):
B three really Recovery. I'm like, what, I had no idea,
and come to find out it's it's the second book,
and so I have to go back and research. And
I messaged Kend I'm like, can did you know that
Chris has this this series out of books talking about
metal detecting and and like just just that whole genre
and how it even goes down a different path and stuff.

(57:14):
He's like no, I said, well, let's get him on.
So tell us a little bit about this book series
that you've got going on.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
How to come about like what you always a writer?
Like somebody just doesn't come out to be a writer,
you know what I mean? There usually asks to be
some back some backstory.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
I don't know. I've always been in the like poetry
and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
I one of the places I detect is a place
called Bloody Bridge, and there's a story.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Behind it, and that's basically what this is based on.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
So I took that and metal Detecting, and the original
idea was I was gonna make it different locations throughout
the US that have stories like Bloody Bridge and this
metal detect Chris. He finds objects and then there's spirits
attached to the objects, and then you's gotta help them
like crossover and figure out there I've finished business. That

(58:09):
was the premise at the beginning.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
But that's not where let it evolves.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
It evolved.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
Yeah, So the first book is is pretty much that
about Bloody Breath. That builds the storyline. So you get
an idea and it kind of like takes you from
reality into the paranormal and then a little bit into
the fantasy world. And then the second book picks up
from the fantasy and just goes straight to Harry Potter

(58:37):
at that point.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Very it's very Yeah, that's cool, that's the second book.

Speaker 4 (58:46):
Yeah, there's there's different realms and different creatures and you know,
there's gnomes and imps.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
And I'm always interested in the process, like anybody that
does that. I mean, I got so many book ideas
in me. Just the process is what gets me all
the time. Like, so you had this idea for a
book you want to write about Bloody Bridge, Like you
start down, how long did it take you to get something?

(59:17):
I mean there's a lot of like reviews and edits
and stuff, right.

Speaker 4 (59:23):
Or it's well, okay. So the first book, I don't don't.
I didn't edit that much. I just kind of just
made it and put it on the shelves, see what happens.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
And it was pretty much just for me anyway, and
then if someone liked it, I was like, we'll get there.
But it also had layers.

Speaker 4 (59:40):
So the way I write, there's like a story, but
then there's like layers. Read it and think about stuff.
It's gonna be like so many things into the story
that you're like, and then there's also little easter eggs
that are just for me sometimes and then some just
through like the metal technic community.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
The name the metal detector in the book is the
PT five.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
That right, and then I mentioned by different people in
different ways. In the second book, I mentioned mess and
nine calling the headphones the MM Richie, Right, Yeah, that's cool,

(01:00:26):
so that kind of stuff. But yeah, the way it
started was just like I'm like, oh, I think this
would be a cool concept, so I think I'll write something.
So I started writing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
It just.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
Rolled from there.

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
Like I just got it done and I don't I
don't even know it to me, maybe half a year
to write it real quickly, while I was at work,
I'd be writing stuff and talking to my phone like
this and this and this and this, and I go
back and listen to it, but like, oh, that that
was my and then I'd like to write a whole
chapter about that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
Oh that's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
Nice. I admire anybody who's you know, it's it's like
creating YouTube videos. You know, you you're you're opening yourself
up to everybody else's criticism and critiques of yourself. So
I admire anybody that puts themselves out there, whether it's YouTube,
whether it's writing a book. I mean, you know, you're
gonna have your your your haters and you know, to say,
you know, nice horrible things about you, But then you've

(01:01:23):
got so much other support then too. You know, I'm
sure there's a lot of people in the chat right
now that are like, Wow, that that is the genre
that I really gravitate towards. And now you also kind
of intermingle it with metal tecting and just what a
really cool idea for you to come up with and
run with.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Yeah, and now personally, I know those Easter eggs center,
I gotta go read that that rest that refers to
right there.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
To give you an idea. So that's the first one,
right that. That's like six months writing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Okay, okay, this this is the second one.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
It took me two years about.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
There you go, There you go, so a little bit more,
a little bit of inspiration happening there.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
I heard the fantasy world does that. When you start
getting into the fantasy realms and stuff, there's a lot
of description. There's a lot of setting stages and bringing
the reader along into this world you create.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
Well, I also the thing with me, so I tried
to make it believable.

Speaker 4 (01:02:33):
So I take stories and then I give you, like
the real story about what happened, and then I try
to make it so it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
Makes more sense.

Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
So like there's the real story of Medusa in there,
and the real story about the Black Knight and all that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
It's just I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
My head just went with it and I got down
and at one point i'd stopped writing for it. Came
back a couple of months later and I was listening
to it. I had it like reading it back to
me and I was listening. I got like into it.
I'm like, that's really cool. Oh wait I wrote that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
I forgot Yeah, Well, that's cool. Right. Oh my gosh,
I couldn't imagine that happening where I'm just like, wait
a minute, I wrote that. Well, that'd be like a
light bulb moment where you're like, wow, that's good man.
I do really like that. People are gonna dig that,
you know, man.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
That's really cool. Well, we want to get the community
involved a little bit more with this.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):

this you got like they give you your ISPN number
for free if you use them.

Speaker 3 (01:07:15):
If you go through someone else, they charge you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
Is it a trilogy or do you call it a
series do you have. Do you think it's going to
go beyond three?

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
I don't. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:10:49):
I think I could make it if I wanted, but
I'm hoping just to stop at three. And then okay,
I'll tell you this part too. So a second book.
In the second book, there's a there's a character named
Agaro Obsidian who's a wizard and in his shop he

(01:11:09):
has a bookshelf. They're trying to find this one book.
They mentioned these books that are on the shelf written
by him. And because I like to control myself, I
wrote one book already and I'm writing a couple of
the really short just for myself, control myself, under the

(01:11:31):
pen name Agarob Citian. So if you look on Amazon,
there's there's the one book already on there.

Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
Oh well, not only that, but when I.

Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
Wrote the first book, someone made a comment on Amazon
about how it was. I can't remember exactly what they said,
but it's in the second book, something about how it
was very simply written or something. And so I made
that comment in there with the talking to may characters,
saying you should write a book about your.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
Life, like he said, like quote word for word.

Speaker 4 (01:12:08):
What they said and I said, I probably couldn't because
I'd probably be like this.

Speaker 3 (01:12:13):
So I use I use that to troll troll them
in the second book.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
See so you're an author and you're also a ghost writer.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
Yeah, yeah, geezh.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
Jersey ray Diggs Rachel said during Christmas she gives away
books from Chris, Chris, Ritchie and Gypsy.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
So tune into Jersey Ray Digs run Christmas time and
hopefully just have you know, I have one of Chris's

I had a motorcycle a long time ago, but I
don't ride.

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
Yeah, did you have an Indian? No?

Speaker 3 (01:14:19):
I had a Honda Magnu seven hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
There you go. That's kind of like an Indian, only different.
I saw you guys are driving these old Indians and
they got the shifter on the side of the on
the side of the side of the bike and a
big old like like a slot machine handle shifting those things.
Pretty cool, Pretty cool, man, Pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
That's a neat That's a cool look. I'm trying to
look it up and find it because that was really interesting.
I'm not seeing anything.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
I found one that they had displayed somewhere and I
was like, yeah, that's the same thing I have, But
that doesn't tell me right.

Speaker 2 (01:14:58):
Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
Hold that brooch up again.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
I want to see that thing again. Yeah, that's beautiful.
Look at that? Is it a sash.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Show me the other side? Oh man, that's cool. That
would be so cool when you pull that out.

Speaker 2 (01:15:18):
Yeah, the detail on it is amazing. Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:15:22):
Yeah, that one. That one caught me out guard.

Speaker 2 (01:15:26):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Do you ever see that video from Greg at Finding
America where you found all those sash buckles?

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
No, you gotta check it out, man, go over to
his channel and check that out sometime.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
Absolutely, Greace. Do you have that in the video?

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
Chris on your on your on your YouTube channel.

Speaker 3 (01:15:42):
I have that one in a short?

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
I think in a in a short? How a short?
Street you?

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
How do you like making those shorts?

Speaker 4 (01:15:52):
They actually work out pretty well because most of the
time I don't plan on going out, and then when
I do find something like, oh good thing, I got
that one video?

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
Right? Yeah, when you can't when you don't have a whole,
a whole video put together, like I just throw it us.
You know a short for this one? Find? Right?

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
You try to make it as exciting as like I
found a Mickey's Big Mouth bottle cap. That's an old bottle,
so I'm gonna try and make what I can out
of it. It was Jason Cord order that always told me.
He said, you don't always have to find the good stuff, Ken,
but you got to make what you find interesting, right, yeah,

(01:16:33):
because you're not always going to find the most interesting things,
but you got to make what you find interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
I'm like, how do you do that?

Speaker 1 (01:16:39):
How do you do that?

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
Jason? He said, watch my videos. You got it? He does, like,
it's an olive spoon.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
You know, the one time he found an olive spoon,
and you know, I talked to him later about it
and he was like, I don't know what this is,
you know, and I'm in the background watching his few.
It's an olid spoon. So I start typing in the comments,
you know, it's in all of spoon and he's like,
I just don't know what it is, you know. So
I send him a message. I'm like, dude, you know,

(01:17:09):
have you found out what that is? Yet's in olive spinning.
He goes, oh, yeah, I knew what it was. You
got to engage the audience to get them to kind
of interact.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
Now you made it interesting. You know, it was beautiful.
It was pretty good. One man.

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
Nice. Is there anybody out there, like YouTube or or
otherwise that you would just love to corroborate, corroborate, corroborate
with or go out and dig with. I just think
you'd have a good time. Who's out there, well quarter order?

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
Uh you guys?

Speaker 1 (01:17:47):
Oh well, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
The check is in the mail. Thank you. Thinks appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
Chris, Yeah, cornerhorou be fun, wouldn't he He was.

Speaker 4 (01:18:00):
He was the first sticker on my machine. Actually, I
think he might have started the sticker movement.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
I feel like, yes, yes he did.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
I remember that. That was That was a good time with.

Speaker 4 (01:18:13):
He's like, oh, I have like twenty of these, so
if you guys want one, I guess, and then I.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Just it was like bloated.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
Yeah, it was crazy. That's how I met Jason. I
met Jason through a sticker giveaway. Yeah, because he asked
people like to make some kind of video with it,
and I went like crazy on it and made some
like uh special effect video with it, giving me powers
on my arm and stuff because I was working with

(01:18:42):
the special effects software and it was just like the
power goes right down to your coil, you know. That's
how I first met him because he was just like
it was right around the time I was asking for
his permission to use his content my Weekly Dirt show,
and he was like, are you kidding me? After that
video you sent me, He's like, absolutely anything you want,
go for it. You know, really good time.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
You probably don't even remember the video that I put
out for that stupid sticker. He thought I was like,
probably like a stalker. So I stroking it and O
my mine was every place that I turned around as
in my life, the sticker was right there. And I
I even had a time I'm in the show, I'm

(01:19:23):
legit in the shower, I had my GoPro in the shower,
I'm washed on my hair, and I turned around and
the stickers right there. I'm like, cord order, open up
the refrigerator, courd order, like everywhere that I'm going as
the cord order sticker. He thought I was like the
stalker or something. He's like, you're kind of a freaky guy.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
Aren't you. Geez, Yeah, but you're right, Chris. That kind
of was the first sticker at the start of the
whole thing, first explosion, and it was it was cool.
I remember, it wasn't too much longer. I was like, man,
maybe I should get some stickers you know what, you know,
no one really cares.

Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
Isn't it funny when you look back, you know, because
you know, the three of us, we've been on YouTube
for quite a while, and you look back and you
think about where you were there and people that in
channels that inspired you to do the things that we
were doing, and and now it feels like, you know,
we're doing we're kind of taking over that that baton,
and now we're inspiring all these other new YouTubers that

(01:20:18):
are coming out there, and it's it's quite a humbling experience.
But man, I remember just looking up to these YouTubers going,
oh my gosh, you know quarter hoorder, he's got a sticker.
I want a sticker. I put it on my I
actually put it on my uh. I think it's still
on my etu pro. As a matter of fact, I
almost positive it is. It's still on my at.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
Pro, my T two back there. I put it into
the cup.

Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
It's on my AT.

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
It on your AT.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
Oh that's funny.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
Yeah, I remember that. I remember the first YouTuber that
really caught my attention. Well, it's because we're in his forums.
Tony was a hunter gt GT.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Well because he was from Colorado, you know, not only
metal detecting, but he was from Colorado. And for you,
you know, he did instruction of videos on the machine
that you had. But for me, I asked, I remember this.
He he inspired me to make videos because I was like,
if he can do it, I can do it. And
I remember it was that they were the lamest, most
ridiculous videos ever. But I was like, I'm doing this.

(01:21:18):
I can, I can, I can document me metal detecting,
and I just thought that was the need of It's
just such an inspiration. Yep. The Hunter GT out in
California now, right.

Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
He's out in California. Yeah, yeah, he is. He doesn't
do too much anymore, but man, I sure remember.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
Oh he's back into it now, doesn't he have?

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
Has he gotten back into it?

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
Yeah? Yeah, he's got He's got that new triple score,
that's what it is. He's finding silver with it left
and right. Yeah. Yeah, he's killing it now.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
When I first got my detective, this a little cheap
thing my wife bought me for Christmas, I was like,
how am I gonna learn how to use this thing?
I had no idea. I had all these features on it,
and sure enough, I searched it on you tube and
I find the Hundre GT did like two in depth
videos on it, and he's calling it a sleeper machine.
And for this little cheap machine, there's no machines that
have as many features on it. Usually they're much more expensive.

(01:22:12):
And by the end of watching his video, I felt
like I mastered that machine just for watching this videos.
I went straight out in my backyard. First find was
a sixty four Canadian penny. Second find was a nine
to two five ring like this modern Taxico Mexico nine
two five ring, And I thought, man if I could
find this in my yard, just in my backyard, what

(01:22:35):
else can I find if I get out there a bit?

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
You know?

Speaker 4 (01:22:38):
Well, since our winner picked the second book, I'll give
something away.

Speaker 3 (01:22:43):
On the first book. There's a part where.

Speaker 4 (01:22:46):
He's talking about he watches all the YouTube metal detectorists
and then he got out for his first time with
a detector. But I can't remember what I said. He
got it on zero discrimination all metal node. He's like,
that's the let's say, and he's like, and the thing
went nuts. And at that moment, I realized, no idea,
what else doing.

Speaker 2 (01:23:07):
Right? That's right?

Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
Yeah, that's once your detextor starts screaming at Jim. Man,
You're like, what it is? All that noise? I don't
know what's going on. Why don't you just tell me
where the silver coins are?

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to read both books.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
Man, I think I'll read Are they meant to read?
An arder lock? You know you can? You, like Jim said,
you can start with number two.

Speaker 4 (01:23:33):
I mean, the first one kind of gives the premise
and it builds up that. The second one starts off
with like a little recap in case you didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
Read the first one. But it's it's whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
Okay, Tony, let's send both books to him. Okay, it's
gonna send both books to Jim, all right, and you
can steal Yeah, let's do that, all right, Just do that.
I'll go catching my pennies and we can rob the
piggy rob the piggybank.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
Not worth anything anymore, those pennies, that's right, the pennies. Yeah.
I got a whole bag of Canadian pennies because I
was I was like, they don't make those anymore. I'm
going to collect them now that you can't even spend them.
That's right. Actually, you know what. I reached out to Liz. Yeah,
I was way off top. I reached out to the Liz.
I said, hey, I've got a whole bunch of Canadian sense,
you know, Canadian clad here. I said, I want to

(01:24:21):
send it to you for some batteries for your you know,
your pin pointer and stuff. And she's like, well, we
can't even spend the pennies. I'm like, oh crap, Now
what do I do with them? Way off top? That's
how are us? Scent is going to go here? Pretty soon?

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Huh, it's gonna be melting them down into rounds.

Speaker 2 (01:24:39):
Oh, that would be cool.

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
With my forge. My forge in over there. I still
haven't used it. Yeah, this company has sent me a forge.
You want me to do a video on it, and
I've never never used it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:53):
I'm just gonna say I just got contacted and asked
about doing that. I didn't even think about mounting down
some some copper, some rounds.

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
Yeah, copper, Yeah, yeah, very cool.

Speaker 3 (01:25:04):
Nice start making with copper rounds.

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
There you go, you were something, Chris.

Speaker 1 (01:25:14):
What else are you into? Hobby wiser? Now, no, hold on,
because I can I gotta ask you question. I got
one more question to ask you, man, because I don't
know much about it, but I'm really interested on it.
So you have made some music using AI as a tool. Yes,

(01:25:36):
gotta tell me about that. What do you mean using AI?
I know you can use AI to like write things
for you and you know, maybe alter an image an
image for you. What about music? How'd you figure that out?

Speaker 3 (01:25:51):
So with this, you it's the same premise.

Speaker 4 (01:25:55):
You you pay a little bit and it gives you
so many stars or something, but it'll it'll have a
prompt area so you can put in, you know, like
make me a song about metal detecting or something, and
then it'll write its own thing and it's okay. But
then it'll have a customer where you can write your

(01:26:17):
own lyrics and then you can pick, you know, what
genre you want, what kind of mood and all kinds
of stuff, and then it'll it'll produce that. And that's
what I do. I like to write my own. But
then you have to go through because it'll it'll make
a couple at a time and then you'll be like,
that's not quite it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:34):
So then you'll do it again and again and again,
and so you find one you're like that that's what
I was looking for.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
No kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
And does it trust the voice or do you pick
the voice as far as a female deep high tone.
It does.

Speaker 4 (01:26:48):
I think you can actually say if you want it
one or the other. But I just I let it
do whatever it's going to do. That that's usually the best.
If I try to narrow it down and it tries
to do too much, I feel and if it doesn't
give you, like that the sound I'm looking for, so
I'm like just or sometimes I'll say, you know, like
a melancholy kind of tone, just because I want it

(01:27:09):
to be more of a slower kind of sounding song.

Speaker 3 (01:27:12):
But other than that, I'm like, do what you're in now.

Speaker 1 (01:27:15):
I wonder if it has the ability like h I
go to a site called eleven Labs, and eleven Labs
you can pick voices to read out a text, right,
I use these for shorts, so you kind of type
out a script and then you pick from all these
different voices and it'll say your script and you can
time it and do all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:27:36):
But it has a feature to.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
Where in a microphone you read a short sentence and
it'll take that and duplicate your voice like almost perfectly.
It'll duplicate your voice and have your voice. I wonder
if it does that. I wonder if you could sample
your voice and actually have it sing in tune, in pitch.
These these these music.

Speaker 3 (01:27:59):
Scores, they probably have one out there. I don't know
if the one I use does it does that, does that?

Speaker 4 (01:28:05):
But I know there there's stuff like you were talking
about that I'm used before, but not music, So there's
there's probably something out there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
Interesting, man AI. I know I've been trying to AI
for generating some some thumbnails and some background pictures and
things like that, and I just wrote in the chat
there you know it's the future if it can be
figured out, But right now it has no idea what
a metal ettective looks like. For some reason not figure this.
And I'm even specific.

Speaker 4 (01:28:37):
You know, you figure, yeah, if.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
You type in mind lab manicore, you figure would look
back and see all these pictures of what a mind
lab manicre looks like, and it comes up with like
this circular thing on a stick over here, and then
they've got a box and then a backpack that's connect I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:28:56):
Like, you guys are ridiculous. They all think it's a
space gadget. Like almost, that's what it looks like. It
looks like I'm on a space tool.

Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
Yeah, I'm looking for rocks on Mars or something. It's like,
dear Lord, are people supposed to be the future and
the smartest thing out there? Right? It has not learned
what a metal detector is. Geez.

Speaker 3 (01:29:18):
That is true.

Speaker 4 (01:29:18):
And my second book, I did put some pictures in
and I used to the I can make all the
pictures and yeah, I try to be a metal detection
and they won they could figure it out.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Well good, it's not just me that it's having that
same issue.

Speaker 1 (01:29:31):
I've tried multiple services and none of them can figure
it out.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
Yeah, Jersey Race said the same thing. Here's Ed says
they it can't even come up with a damn goldpan.
Always looks like showing a frying pan.

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
Yeah, yeah, you got to say bread pan and make
it round and flare the edges.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
No. Oh, geez.

Speaker 1 (01:29:52):
My son told me about the AI music. He's like like,
he's a big fan of this one guy. That's all
he does. Like hees, I'm this biggest fan of this
one guy and all he does.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Is make AI music.

Speaker 1 (01:30:03):
I'm like, what do you mean AI?

Speaker 2 (01:30:04):
Music.

Speaker 1 (01:30:05):
He's like, man, you're getting old.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
I was like, yeah, I'm getting old.

Speaker 1 (01:30:08):
Was Ai music? Are you kidding me? AI's making music now?
And he was playing some of it and it was
really done well. It was like, man, that guy didn't
make any of it. He goes, well, he knows how
to do the prompts and you know, he's still putting
things together and the topics. And then I was like, wow, man, interesting,
that's crazy. Welly, chris Man, you've been a great guest.

(01:30:30):
Thank you so much for spending time with us and
coming on Relix Radio. You know, I've been watching you
for a long time and seeing that you wrote these
books now I can't wait to kind of go check
them out. I think you're a really cool guy. And

family and that they were here supporting you and tonight
that's really special. Anything you want to say kind of

Speaker 2 (01:31:15):
We know that it's taken away from family and stuff.
So uh, it was love.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
It was great to kind of get to know you
a little bit here about your your history here in
the in the detecting world, and and and how you
sort of came to start writing these books. And uh yeah, man,
I'll keep checking out your channel. If you guys want
to go over his YouTube channel, I put the link
in the in the in the chat. You can do
that and go check out some of that AI music
he created. I was listening to it today. It's pretty cool.
