Speaker 1 (00:10):
My man couldn't word what your back door?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Hey y'all, and welcome to the Treasure of Vortex podcast
with Gypsy Jewels from YouTube zero discrimination, as well as
well as her website gypsydigs dot com and myself, Amanda
digger Degaze. I know I can be found on all
platforms either as digger Degauze or a digger Degauze, so yeah,
definitely come find us and follow along on our journey
(01:41):
besides what we have and share here every Monday. So
I know I have not gotten to catch up with
Gypsy since last week. So hey, Gypsy, how are you
this evening?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Hey, I'm doing good, doing well? How about yourself?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I am doing all right. I'm a little under the other.
I think the two weeks, two weeks of.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Traveling really caught up to me and I am I'm
a yeah, yeah, it beaten down.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You need a vacation traveling, I.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Do, I do. I you know, the week with you guys.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I think it was only actually like two days of digging,
but it was like three days of running around crazy
and then up and keen for the best of New England,
which was a lot of fun. And then I know
from last week's podcast. I spent Saturday night at the
(02:39):
emergency Vet with my uh my friendly faral cat, who
has successfully been kept indoors since then. So I don't
know if I he cried today a little bit at
the door wanting to go out, and I was like,
it's rat, dude, you don't want to go out.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Don't you love being pampered?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
So and then uh well, doing laundry and packing, and
then hit Nashville with for work.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And had some fun there too.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I did get to visit the Country Music Hall of Fame,
which is pretty neat, and then on that.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Was actually really neat. It was really neat.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I mean I grew up with you know, Willie Nelson,
Waylon Jennings and love you know, Chris Stapleton, and so
it was fun. It was fun to see all the stuff,
obviously Johnny Cash and the Cash family and yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
It was good. It was it was like three stories
of memorabilia and stuff. So that was kind of neat.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
What was your favorite part about Nashville?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
My favorite part, it's I he was I did not
expect it to end up being in like Vegas. Oh
so you go out, no, no, no gambling, just the
amount of people out on the streets, it just wandering, yeah, yep.
(04:15):
And then there was the amount of I'd say the
amount of art, like the amount of musicians that are
there is pretty crazy when you think about it, because
I guess every single bar along the Broadway Strip, I
think it's.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Broadway or Broadview.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Music, and they.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
All have live music.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
But not just do they have live music, it's every
floor is a different.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Band. It was really crazy. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I mean, some are bigger and they have the three
stories open to the one. But then we went to
a couple that had a different bands or a singer
on every floor.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It was so the.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Amount of artistic talent that was in that just one.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Street is pretty pretty crazy, pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And then you know, Monday was We got there and
it was impromptu. We were walking around just checking out
like the novelty stores and what was where, and a
Dirk Spentley concert was like setting up. And then by
the time we were done our meetings and stuff, we
got down there and he was performing a free concerts.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So that was that was pretty crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, yeah, seeing thirteen years ago I actually paid to
go see him.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Really yeah, you know, It's funny. I'm not a big
country fan as in modern country music. There's a few
songs because of some of them kind of crossover, you know,
the to the other pop like type stations. But I
love old country, yes, and the big uh Willie Nelson,
(05:58):
Dolly Parton, John Cash, you know all of them. Uh,
you know, I grew up with them. So that's what
I look forward to when I get to go then
to Nashville. So it'll be I think it's been so
many years, probably since I was in college, since I went,
(06:19):
and I don't remember getting the goats sounds like to
some of the parts that you got to go to,
so it's been so long. So excited about that for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, that was I think that was my first time.
I don't remember really, Yeah, yep, I mean i've driven now,
but not Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Now the is it's it's in Nashville, isn't it where
the Elvis Presley thing is? Or is that in Memphis?
I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I don't I didn't see anything for all of us.
I did see Johnny Cash at a museum there, Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Graceland is Memphis, Memphis, Okay, Yeah, I've been to Memphis
soon so okay, yeah, I didn't go in Graceland, but yeah,
I'm sure some of those stores.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Though.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
There's many different types of treasures and lots of history too,
besides the musical history, but the other history that's got
to be fascinating. You know. I can only imagine how
that must have been walking through that area and you're
probably thinking about all the treasures beneath your feet somewhere
around there.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And then the same thing.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Was there a lot of old buildings, yep.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
The old buildings, and then even going through the memorabilia
and stuff, I was like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Oh you know, true, I'm gonna call it bejeweled.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
But you know, some of these performing outfits they'd have
those really shiny any beads and like, you know, I'm like,
oh man, I found.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
A bead like that.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You know, the the toy guns and not so toy guns,
and you know, it's just crazy to think about with
stuff like that. And then going a totally separate I
think I posted a picture I got my fortune told
by none other than Willie himself.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
It's instead of sulting I was. I was so excited
when I saw him.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm like, oh my gosh, so that was fun.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So that yeah, that was treasure in itself. I'm like,
I did find treasure, because they do. They spit out
a little fortune for you to be able to take home.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
That is cool. So you get something you can pressure
room your memory memorabilia. I love it. I love it.
That's something I look forward to. Maybe I can go
to the same one, yeah and get mine compare.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, there were a couple other girls, uh ladies I
work with that. I think two more also had it done.
And then honestly, you have to.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Let me know where that was. Yeh, I can find it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I can absolutely, And then I know that there are
some people that listen to the show that collect those
smashed pennies that you go and you can get the
souvenir penny.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Don't be like me. He actually actually carries.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Some pennies with you because when you ask people for pennies,
nobody has no Yeah, nobody has changed. So I had
the quarters, you know, because.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
It's one laying on the ground somewhere.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Nope, I did not.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
There's you know, it's fifty.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
One cents and that one cent comes back to you
with the souvenir of some sort penny.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Okay, well I'll remember that and I'll bring plenty of change.
And usually, you know, just walking in places like that,
I find tons of change on the ground anyway, because
I'm always treasure hunting as I go.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Anyway, there were so many people, there was no looking down.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's hard to even looking down. You got to look
where you're going. Yep, I can imagine. I can imagine. Well,
I will be prepared. But you know, that's one thing
that I've found a lot over the years, and some
weird places too. But used to find tons of them
on the beach, you know, when I live in Galveston,
but even you know, travel to Florida and hunt on
(10:34):
the beaches. There a lot of those smash pennies. And
I've found smash pennies from all over, not just those
particular souvenir places, you know, everything from Grand Canyon to
you know, all over, which is cool. So I need
to do a guests sift through my fines and dig
out all those smash pennies and make like a that
(10:56):
would make a really cool displayed don't dream.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yep, they would.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I DJ Yo's daughter many many moons ago. She collected
those pennies, the souvenir pennies. So I had grabbed all
the ones that I had found and sent them on,
uh said, sent them on that way, So I don't
think and I think I've only found one since. But yeah,
when you go to the playgrounds, if the kids have
(11:22):
gone on vacation or anywhere like that, I've I've found
them there.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I found them, yeah for sure. But yeah, very cool. Yeah,
I may have to do that, but that's me. I'm
glad you mentioned the smash penny thing, so I'll be
prepared for that as well. And yeah, really looking forward
to that. And I will bring my metal depictor. I
don't know if there'll be any time while I'm there,
(11:47):
but we shall see. Mine isn't quite the business trip
like yours, so I will be bringing my detector. And
speaking of that, I will be stepping outside of state
this weekend. And I recently received and I'll be putting
(12:08):
that video out today. I haven't had chance to edit
until this morning. I finally got a hot minute to
edit a video. So I received a long handle scoop
from c kg scoops dot com and it is beautiful,
(12:34):
smaller travel scoop with a carbon fiber handle. Yeah, and
it comes apart, so it'd be perfect, perfect for traveling
and you know me, you know, for flying and stuff.
(12:55):
So because it comes I wouldn't have to take it
apart at the bottom like normally I used to have
to do with others and this one is, you know,
super lightweight, so I cannot wait. I will be able
as things would allow to test it out in a
(13:15):
beachy area or a swimming area with sand on Friday,
and so I'm super excited about getting to test it
out and especially metal detect because it's an old spot
I used to go to back in the day before
I ever started my YouTube channel and I found several
(13:35):
gold rings there, several silver rings, junk jewelry, et cetera,
besides coins, and so I'm really looking forward to go
back to an old haunt and do a little detecting
and testing out this goop, which hopefully, you know, I'll
have some videos on that for you. But if you
want to check that out, you can check out www
(14:00):
dot c kg scoops dot com. Just tell them my
Gypsy Sentia because you know it's about that season it's
it's been beautiful weather here. We're expecting a lot of
rain tomorrow, but it's great for lakes as well if
you go to a lake without a lot of rocks.
Really looking forward to testing it out on that Sandy
(14:24):
Beachy area and see what I can find and excuse
super excited to have a new scoop.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I think the one I let you borrow that one
time is a.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Was one of those. Yeah, okay, okay, very cool. Yeah,
this one is smaller, which I really like for traveling.
I mean, it doesn't have a really large opening, which
can sometimes mean for your deeper targets it may take
you longer to get to that target. But I've just
(14:57):
found that the smaller scoops are just so much easier
to travel with. So depending on you know, if you're
not doing a lot of traveling and you live in
an area where you don't need a smaller scope, I'm
sure there's larger ones available. I think this is a
new one though that was just released. I'm not for certain,
so I think that's what I was told. But it's
(15:20):
super excited and to get to go detect of course, yes,
I miss I so missed my water detecting and beach detecting,
and so I'm really excited about the summer. I'm hoping
that I get to take several trips to some water
areas and hopefully get.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
In the water.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I don't think I'll be able to get in the
water for this particular quick trip, but well, if I
can go, I might could go ankle deep or something
like that. I just you know, with some water boots,
but not really prepped for deeper right now.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
It seems like it's early in the season for that.
But I'm sure further Sorro.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Texas and and it is further south and where I
am now, so it and I know that that area
is warmer, so you know, probably about five ten degrees
maybe warmer, So it might be ready. But I just
don't know if I want to do that because of
(16:27):
my plans for that evening and if I'll have time
to get properly cleaned up, and so it's like how
to stick with the shallow for now and do that.
So anyway, nice, but yeah, other than that, and that's upcoming.
(16:48):
And like you were said, you were able to go
get out.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I was. So this weekend it was actually really warm
on Saturday, and I know that allergies tend to affect me,
and be seeing that everything kind of popped while I
was away, I was like, I do I need to
go out? I need to spend the time outside, even
though I felt absolutely crummy and I know it had rained,
(17:15):
so I was like, you know what, I'm gonna get
over to my mud mud larking spot. I was only
able to really like. I wasn't able to get out long,
so there was not a ton of search in.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
But I did find quite a few.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Bottles, one uncommon that I haven't found before, and I'm
gonna have to look into it.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
But it has like bricks.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
It looks like a chimney jar, and I know I
was like, I called it, I think a honeycomb or
whatnover for honey, But I don't think that's what it
is because the pattern on it doesn't reflect a honeycomb.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Whereas it looks more like a chimney.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, yeah, it does look more like a chimney. I'll
be curious. Have you researched you I haven't. That's all
your video.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, it's still in my truck because.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
My first guess was honey too, because I know a
lot of the honey jars sometimes have designs on it,
and it may not necessarily be honey calm, So that
was my first guess as well when I saw that jar.
But I'll be curious to find out what it is
because I hadn't seen one quite like that before either.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, No, I think it's probably nineteen thirties to nineteen fifties.
I don't think it's relatively old. The older beach that
I did manage to get to looked pretty well picked over.
I know that there's been some other treasure hunters in
the area, and I did find a couple clay pipe
stem fragments, clay pipe bowl fragments. I did at the
(18:46):
really old beach find a clear med that was actually
kind of larger than normal, so a lot of that
top soil was washed away with the amount of rain
that the area got.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
But when I when.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I extracted it, I noticed that it had a hairline crack,
and I'm like, no, so you'll see a video here
coming up, and I'm like, I should just nickname my
my my channel to broken treasures because it's been a
while since I've gotten intact, intact pieces, And I guess
I guess when you're dealing with glass and stuff that's
(19:24):
you know, almost hot.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, I glad it's so finicky. Yeah, for sure. That's
definitely a tough thing, right true. And it's amazing when
you are able to pull out one though and it
get it home intact and not have any further damage
(19:46):
because you imagine how long some of that stuff has
either been in the ground or been you know, and
still to come out the way it is, it's pretty amazing.
Feat I kind of was my mind when I'm digging
in dumps and I pull out something that's been there
and it's got at rocks smashed against it and everything,
(20:07):
and it still didn't break. I just don't appalled at
someone else.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
It's kind of like when you find that.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Is even more tragger.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yep, you find that super thin light bulb that's intact.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But that get wicked thick bubbled glass is shattered.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Nice to it. You're like, what the heck? Why? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
H yeah, it's funny, it really is how it varies.
It really varies. But yeah, so, uh what else? So
mud larking and you got to do that?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I did?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I got to get out for short, go ahead?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
No, Nope, I was just gonna gonna get to that. Go.
Did you get to sneak out at all after work
or whatnot?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
The sweet just still little after working and there were
you know, I'm loving the long days now with this,
you know, especially with some of the weather we've been
having here. So I did get to get out, but
I really didn't have time to you know, go metal detecting.
(21:25):
So I went to my little spot close close by,
and I decided I was going to do a little
shifting for some Native American pottery. Nice and again this
is family property and uh anyway, so it was it
(21:50):
was fun. I found like five pieces and got to
get out in nature and it was just so nice,
you know, to have that little break and anyway, yeah,
it was. It's a different type of treasure hunt, of course,
(22:10):
but I love it. And yet my hands all dirty
and get to play in the dirt and anyway, Yeah,
the stand is so so. I mean, the dirt here
in East Texas where I'm digging for this is so soft.
(22:32):
So a lot of this is really deep and I
haven't gone that deep. So mainly all I'm finding is
the broken parts where probably they threw out, just like
throughout their little hut or whatever they had built their
their living quarters, and I'm sure the full pots. Like
I've talked to people that dig these and then have
(22:53):
dug these, and a lot of archaeologists and stuff like that,
and they tell me that, yeah, if I want to
dig the whole pots, that I've got to go way deeper.
And I don't know if I want to do that
feet by myself, I need somebody with me.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, I was going to say, I think when we
did do a dig, it was a paid dig like
that they went. When you were standing at it, it
was like to my shoulders, so it was it was
definitely deep that they had gone, and they were finding
the most intact, gorgeous points that I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Oh wow. But yeah, and if you ever ever decide
to come to Texas, that's something that we could just
plan on doing. And then as long as I had
somebody and I could always get my muscles the boys,
my two boys to help dig. And I'm pretty sure
(23:55):
I know the exact area now, several places where we
could dig down that would be perfect for that and
probably fine amazing stuff for sure. So but anyway, that
would be fun.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, that does sound fun. It does life though, figure
it out eventually. Eventually I'll get down to Texas, you will.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
What are am I going to happen? Who knows could happen?
Where the summer is out? You never know.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I do have to say, I am. I'm gonna try
to get out detecting hopefully this week got some overtime
to work. But in between, gonna I'm gonna try before
they start, before they start seeding.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
So good lad, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I get to go back to those spots. I have
a feeling that it's been what two weeks almost since
you came. So I'm gonna by the by the time
I send a note and go, hey, what fields are available.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
They're gonna be like undone. I would be like a
man invisted in that blink of an eye. Ah jeez.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But yeah, yep, hopefully it does look like we are
in a much of a wash out for the week,
but you never know.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You never know, might have a clear up here here
or there, but that.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Would be awesome. Well, I'm wishing you.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
All the love, thank you, and I'm wishing your ventures
safe travels.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I know we're gonna end this show a little bit early, but.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Yeah, and uh, I guess we'll have to figure out
if there's gonna be one next week or what to
do because I will be traveling during that time and
I don't know because that Monday night I'll be busy.
So we'll figure out, well, we can figure it out, yep.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And obviously we post the Facebook if it's being canceled
or if it's the show, we do put it out there,
and then you can always go to Treasure Vorttex dot
com at eight pm Eastern Standard Time on any given
Monday and hit refresh and it should be at the

chat before then and we'll figure out next Monday. And
I hope you all have a great week.

besides what we have and share here every Monday. So
I know I have not gotten to catch up with
Gypsy since last week. So hey, Gypsy, how are you
this evening?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Hey, I'm doing good, doing well? How about yourself?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I am doing all right. I'm a little under the other.
I think the two weeks, two weeks of.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Traveling really caught up to me and I am I'm
a yeah, yeah, it beaten down.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You need a vacation traveling, I.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Do, I do. I you know, the week with you guys.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I think it was only actually like two days of digging,
but it was like three days of running around crazy
and then up and keen for the best of New England,
which was a lot of fun. And then I know
from last week's podcast. I spent Saturday night at the
(02:39):
emergency Vet with my uh my friendly faral cat, who
has successfully been kept indoors since then. So I don't
know if I he cried today a little bit at
the door wanting to go out, and I was like,
it's rat, dude, you don't want to go out.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Don't you love being pampered?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
So and then uh well, doing laundry and packing, and
then hit Nashville with for work.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And had some fun there too.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I did get to visit the Country Music Hall of Fame,
which is pretty neat, and then on that.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Was actually really neat. It was really neat.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I mean I grew up with you know, Willie Nelson,
Waylon Jennings and love you know, Chris Stapleton, and so
it was fun. It was fun to see all the stuff,
obviously Johnny Cash and the Cash family and yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
It was good. It was it was like three stories
of memorabilia and stuff. So that was kind of neat.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
What was your favorite part about Nashville?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
My favorite part, it's I he was I did not
expect it to end up being in like Vegas. Oh
so you go out, no, no, no gambling, just the
amount of people out on the streets, it just wandering, yeah, yep.
(04:15):
And then there was the amount of I'd say the
amount of art, like the amount of musicians that are
there is pretty crazy when you think about it, because
I guess every single bar along the Broadway Strip, I
think it's.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Broadway or Broadview.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Music, and they.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
All have live music.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
But not just do they have live music, it's every
floor is a different.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Band. It was really crazy. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I mean, some are bigger and they have the three
stories open to the one. But then we went to
a couple that had a different bands or a singer
on every floor.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It was so the.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Amount of artistic talent that was in that just one.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Street is pretty pretty crazy, pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And then you know, Monday was We got there and
it was impromptu. We were walking around just checking out
like the novelty stores and what was where, and a
Dirk Spentley concert was like setting up. And then by
the time we were done our meetings and stuff, we
got down there and he was performing a free concerts.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So that was that was pretty crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, yeah, seeing thirteen years ago I actually paid to
go see him.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Really yeah, you know, It's funny. I'm not a big
country fan as in modern country music. There's a few
songs because of some of them kind of crossover, you know,
the to the other pop like type stations. But I
love old country, yes, and the big uh Willie Nelson,
(05:58):
Dolly Parton, John Cash, you know all of them. Uh,
you know, I grew up with them. So that's what
I look forward to when I get to go then
to Nashville. So it'll be I think it's been so
many years, probably since I was in college, since I went,
(06:19):
and I don't remember getting the goats sounds like to
some of the parts that you got to go to,
so it's been so long. So excited about that for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, that was I think that was my first time.
I don't remember really, Yeah, yep, I mean i've driven now,
but not Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Now the is it's it's in Nashville, isn't it where
the Elvis Presley thing is? Or is that in Memphis?
I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I don't I didn't see anything for all of us.
I did see Johnny Cash at a museum there, Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Graceland is Memphis, Memphis, Okay, Yeah, I've been to Memphis
soon so okay, yeah, I didn't go in Graceland, but yeah,
I'm sure some of those stores.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Though.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
There's many different types of treasures and lots of history too,
besides the musical history, but the other history that's got
to be fascinating. You know. I can only imagine how
that must have been walking through that area and you're
probably thinking about all the treasures beneath your feet somewhere
around there.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
And then the same thing.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Was there a lot of old buildings, yep.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
The old buildings, and then even going through the memorabilia
and stuff, I was like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Oh you know, true, I'm gonna call it bejeweled.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
But you know, some of these performing outfits they'd have
those really shiny any beads and like, you know, I'm like,
oh man, I found.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
A bead like that.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You know, the the toy guns and not so toy guns,
and you know, it's just crazy to think about with
stuff like that. And then going a totally separate I
think I posted a picture I got my fortune told
by none other than Willie himself.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
It's instead of sulting I was. I was so excited
when I saw him.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm like, oh my gosh, so that was fun.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So that yeah, that was treasure in itself. I'm like,
I did find treasure, because they do. They spit out
a little fortune for you to be able to take home.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
That is cool. So you get something you can pressure
room your memory memorabilia. I love it. I love it.
That's something I look forward to. Maybe I can go
to the same one, yeah and get mine compare.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, there were a couple other girls, uh ladies I
work with that. I think two more also had it done.
And then honestly, you have to.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Let me know where that was. Yeh, I can find it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I can absolutely, And then I know that there are
some people that listen to the show that collect those
smashed pennies that you go and you can get the
souvenir penny.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Don't be like me. He actually actually carries.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Some pennies with you because when you ask people for pennies,
nobody has no Yeah, nobody has changed. So I had
the quarters, you know, because.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
It's one laying on the ground somewhere.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Nope, I did not.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
There's you know, it's fifty.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
One cents and that one cent comes back to you
with the souvenir of some sort penny.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Okay, well I'll remember that and I'll bring plenty of change.
And usually, you know, just walking in places like that,
I find tons of change on the ground anyway, because
I'm always treasure hunting as I go.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Anyway, there were so many people, there was no looking down.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's hard to even looking down. You got to look
where you're going. Yep, I can imagine. I can imagine. Well,
I will be prepared. But you know, that's one thing
that I've found a lot over the years, and some
weird places too. But used to find tons of them
on the beach, you know, when I live in Galveston,
but even you know, travel to Florida and hunt on
(10:34):
the beaches. There a lot of those smash pennies. And
I've found smash pennies from all over, not just those
particular souvenir places, you know, everything from Grand Canyon to
you know, all over, which is cool. So I need
to do a guests sift through my fines and dig
out all those smash pennies and make like a that
(10:56):
would make a really cool displayed don't dream.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yep, they would.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I DJ Yo's daughter many many moons ago. She collected
those pennies, the souvenir pennies. So I had grabbed all
the ones that I had found and sent them on,
uh said, sent them on that way, So I don't
think and I think I've only found one since. But yeah,
when you go to the playgrounds, if the kids have
(11:22):
gone on vacation or anywhere like that, I've I've found
them there.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I found them, yeah for sure. But yeah, very cool. Yeah,
I may have to do that, but that's me. I'm
glad you mentioned the smash penny thing, so I'll be
prepared for that as well. And yeah, really looking forward
to that. And I will bring my metal depictor. I
don't know if there'll be any time while I'm there,
(11:47):
but we shall see. Mine isn't quite the business trip
like yours, so I will be bringing my detector. And
speaking of that, I will be stepping outside of state
this weekend. And I recently received and I'll be putting
(12:08):
that video out today. I haven't had chance to edit
until this morning. I finally got a hot minute to
edit a video. So I received a long handle scoop
from c kg scoops dot com and it is beautiful,
(12:34):
smaller travel scoop with a carbon fiber handle. Yeah, and
it comes apart, so it'd be perfect, perfect for traveling
and you know me, you know, for flying and stuff.
(12:55):
So because it comes I wouldn't have to take it
apart at the bottom like normally I used to have
to do with others and this one is, you know,
super lightweight, so I cannot wait. I will be able
as things would allow to test it out in a
(13:15):
beachy area or a swimming area with sand on Friday,
and so I'm super excited about getting to test it
out and especially metal detect because it's an old spot
I used to go to back in the day before
I ever started my YouTube channel and I found several
(13:35):
gold rings there, several silver rings, junk jewelry, et cetera,
besides coins, and so I'm really looking forward to go
back to an old haunt and do a little detecting
and testing out this goop, which hopefully, you know, I'll
have some videos on that for you. But if you
want to check that out, you can check out www
(14:00):
dot c kg scoops dot com. Just tell them my
Gypsy Sentia because you know it's about that season it's
it's been beautiful weather here. We're expecting a lot of
rain tomorrow, but it's great for lakes as well if
you go to a lake without a lot of rocks.
Really looking forward to testing it out on that Sandy
(14:24):
Beachy area and see what I can find and excuse
super excited to have a new scoop.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I think the one I let you borrow that one
time is a.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Was one of those. Yeah, okay, okay, very cool. Yeah,
this one is smaller, which I really like for traveling.
I mean, it doesn't have a really large opening, which
can sometimes mean for your deeper targets it may take
you longer to get to that target. But I've just
(14:57):
found that the smaller scoops are just so much easier
to travel with. So depending on you know, if you're
not doing a lot of traveling and you live in
an area where you don't need a smaller scope, I'm
sure there's larger ones available. I think this is a
new one though that was just released. I'm not for certain,
so I think that's what I was told. But it's
(15:20):
super excited and to get to go detect of course, yes,
I miss I so missed my water detecting and beach detecting,
and so I'm really excited about the summer. I'm hoping
that I get to take several trips to some water
areas and hopefully get.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
In the water.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I don't think I'll be able to get in the
water for this particular quick trip, but well, if I
can go, I might could go ankle deep or something
like that. I just you know, with some water boots,
but not really prepped for deeper right now.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
It seems like it's early in the season for that.
But I'm sure further Sorro.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Texas and and it is further south and where I
am now, so it and I know that that area
is warmer, so you know, probably about five ten degrees
maybe warmer, So it might be ready. But I just
don't know if I want to do that because of
(16:27):
my plans for that evening and if I'll have time
to get properly cleaned up, and so it's like how
to stick with the shallow for now and do that.
So anyway, nice, but yeah, other than that, and that's upcoming.
(16:48):
And like you were said, you were able to go
get out.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I was. So this weekend it was actually really warm
on Saturday, and I know that allergies tend to affect me,
and be seeing that everything kind of popped while I
was away, I was like, I do I need to
go out? I need to spend the time outside, even
though I felt absolutely crummy and I know it had rained,
(17:15):
so I was like, you know what, I'm gonna get
over to my mud mud larking spot. I was only
able to really like. I wasn't able to get out long,
so there was not a ton of search in.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
But I did find quite a few.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Bottles, one uncommon that I haven't found before, and I'm
gonna have to look into it.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
But it has like bricks.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
It looks like a chimney jar, and I know I
was like, I called it, I think a honeycomb or
whatnover for honey, But I don't think that's what it
is because the pattern on it doesn't reflect a honeycomb.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Whereas it looks more like a chimney.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yeah, yeah, it does look more like a chimney. I'll
be curious. Have you researched you I haven't. That's all
your video.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, it's still in my truck because.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
My first guess was honey too, because I know a
lot of the honey jars sometimes have designs on it,
and it may not necessarily be honey calm, So that
was my first guess as well when I saw that jar.
But I'll be curious to find out what it is
because I hadn't seen one quite like that before either.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, No, I think it's probably nineteen thirties to nineteen fifties.
I don't think it's relatively old. The older beach that
I did manage to get to looked pretty well picked over.
I know that there's been some other treasure hunters in
the area, and I did find a couple clay pipe
stem fragments, clay pipe bowl fragments. I did at the
(18:46):
really old beach find a clear med that was actually
kind of larger than normal, so a lot of that
top soil was washed away with the amount of rain
that the area got.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
But when I when.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I extracted it, I noticed that it had a hairline crack,
and I'm like, no, so you'll see a video here
coming up, and I'm like, I should just nickname my
my my channel to broken treasures because it's been a
while since I've gotten intact, intact pieces, And I guess
I guess when you're dealing with glass and stuff that's
(19:24):
you know, almost hot.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, I glad it's so finicky. Yeah, for sure. That's
definitely a tough thing, right true. And it's amazing when
you are able to pull out one though and it
get it home intact and not have any further damage
(19:46):
because you imagine how long some of that stuff has
either been in the ground or been you know, and
still to come out the way it is, it's pretty amazing.
Feat I kind of was my mind when I'm digging
in dumps and I pull out something that's been there
and it's got at rocks smashed against it and everything,
(20:07):
and it still didn't break. I just don't appalled at
someone else.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
It's kind of like when you find that.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Is even more tragger.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yep, you find that super thin light bulb that's intact.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But that get wicked thick bubbled glass is shattered.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Nice to it. You're like, what the heck? Why? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
H yeah, it's funny, it really is how it varies.
It really varies. But yeah, so, uh what else? So
mud larking and you got to do that?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I did?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I got to get out for short, go ahead?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
No, Nope, I was just gonna gonna get to that. Go.
Did you get to sneak out at all after work
or whatnot?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
The sweet just still little after working and there were
you know, I'm loving the long days now with this,
you know, especially with some of the weather we've been
having here. So I did get to get out, but
I really didn't have time to you know, go metal detecting.
(21:25):
So I went to my little spot close close by,
and I decided I was going to do a little
shifting for some Native American pottery. Nice and again this
is family property and uh anyway, so it was it
(21:50):
was fun. I found like five pieces and got to
get out in nature and it was just so nice,
you know, to have that little break and anyway, yeah,
it was. It's a different type of treasure hunt, of course,
(22:10):
but I love it. And yet my hands all dirty
and get to play in the dirt and anyway, Yeah,
the stand is so so. I mean, the dirt here
in East Texas where I'm digging for this is so soft.
(22:32):
So a lot of this is really deep and I
haven't gone that deep. So mainly all I'm finding is
the broken parts where probably they threw out, just like
throughout their little hut or whatever they had built their
their living quarters, and I'm sure the full pots. Like
I've talked to people that dig these and then have
(22:53):
dug these, and a lot of archaeologists and stuff like that,
and they tell me that, yeah, if I want to
dig the whole pots, that I've got to go way deeper.
And I don't know if I want to do that
feet by myself, I need somebody with me.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, I was going to say, I think when we
did do a dig, it was a paid dig like
that they went. When you were standing at it, it
was like to my shoulders, so it was it was
definitely deep that they had gone, and they were finding
the most intact, gorgeous points that I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Oh wow. But yeah, and if you ever ever decide
to come to Texas, that's something that we could just
plan on doing. And then as long as I had
somebody and I could always get my muscles the boys,
my two boys to help dig. And I'm pretty sure
(23:55):
I know the exact area now, several places where we
could dig down that would be perfect for that and
probably fine amazing stuff for sure. So but anyway, that
would be fun.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, that does sound fun. It does life though, figure
it out eventually. Eventually I'll get down to Texas, you will.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
What are am I going to happen? Who knows could happen?
Where the summer is out? You never know.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I do have to say, I am. I'm gonna try
to get out detecting hopefully this week got some overtime
to work. But in between, gonna I'm gonna try before
they start, before they start seeding.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
So good lad, I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I get to go back to those spots. I have
a feeling that it's been what two weeks almost since
you came. So I'm gonna by the by the time
I send a note and go, hey, what fields are available.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
They're gonna be like undone. I would be like a
man invisted in that blink of an eye. Ah jeez.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But yeah, yep, hopefully it does look like we are
in a much of a wash out for the week,
but you never know.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You never know, might have a clear up here here
or there, but that.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Would be awesome. Well, I'm wishing you.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
All the love, thank you, and I'm wishing your ventures
safe travels.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I know we're gonna end this show a little bit early, but.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Yeah, and uh, I guess we'll have to figure out
if there's gonna be one next week or what to
do because I will be traveling during that time and
I don't know because that Monday night I'll be busy.
So we'll figure out, well, we can figure it out, yep.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And obviously we post the Facebook if it's being canceled
or if it's the show, we do put it out there,
and then you can always go to Treasure Vorttex dot
com at eight pm Eastern Standard Time on any given
Monday and hit refresh and it should be at the
very bottom of the web page. Any of our whatever
(26:26):
our newest show it will air there too.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yeah, but you have safe travels and I'm sure we'll
chat before then and we'll figure out next Monday. And
I hope you all have a great week.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
You all have a great one, and we'll see you
next time. And happy hunting folks.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
