Speaker 1 (00:08):
Narconnor. What your back door? Hey y'all, and welcome to
(01:20):
the Treasure of Vortex podcast with Gypsy Jewels from YouTube's
zero Discrimination, as well as her website gypsydigs dot com,
and myself Amanda Digger Degaze. We have to apologize for
canceling last week, but with traveling and the craziness, it
just didn't happen. So this week's kind of kind of
be a double we'll catch you up on all the
(01:41):
things that happened in the last week and what we
kind of have a plan going forward. So, hey, Gypsy,
how are you this evening?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Hey, I am doing great, doing great, just catching up
trying to catch up anyway from my trip. I just
got back to Texas yesterday and I'm still not home.
I'll go home tomorrow. So today's been kind of let
me catch up on all the phone calls and all
the emails and the messages and all that stuff, and
(02:11):
I'm still not caught up. Oh you know how that.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Goes, Yeah, yeah, And so therefore you yeah, you haven't
got to start the laundry yet or putting everything, you know,
any of your the stickers, cards or anything that you
got aside put.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Together right right. I haven't had a chance, and I'd
like to start editing a video soon, but you know,
I'm gonna have to wait till probably tomorrow, till I
get home. But yeah, it was a blast.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I was gonna say, you do have a video? You
have what I was going to say with you the video?
You got one out? What last week? Well, yeah, you
would have announced it last week.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
But I would have announced it last week, but yeah,
I didn't quite But yeah, I ended up getting a
video out. And it's on a creek which everybody seems
to love, all the creek ones. And there's a dump
(03:20):
that I was with my friend Michelle and we got
to get out. We've had a few little goodies and
it was fun. I really enjoyed it. Nice to get out.
And that was, you know, before the trips. I got
that video out and then hopefully by Monday, I will
have my new video out, either one from Maine. I
(03:44):
haven't decided one. I guess I'll decide, you know, if
I'm going to do Maine as one video or if
I'm going to combine it with the with the new
Hampshire I have yet gotcha.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And then yeah, for those that don't know we well you,
you and Miguel traveled up to me and then we
went to Bone this week. But I do have to
say one of my highlights was you and Meguel coming
to uh my place to dig.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, that's definitely one of my highlights from the whole weekend,
number one, because I've been looking forward to getting to
see you and it's been way too long, been about
a year since I saw you. I think it's been
a year.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I don't even know, yep, exactly that year.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And since I got to see you last and it's
just hard to coordinate that, you know, being you being
way north and me being way down here South Texas.
So it was great to get to come to your
neck of the woods and get to dig with you,
and so generous of you to let megel Elle and
(05:00):
I on one of your permissions, and those definitely it's
always definitely a highlight. But even you know, if I
didn't find anything, it wouldn't have mattered, because you know,
I was getting a hunt with my co host and
so I know we're kind of on different side of
the field part of the time. But let's see, you
(05:22):
got to see John and anyway you me and Miguel
got to hit the fields and gotten a few things
and had a blast doing it. But yeah, we had
a little delay. We were hoping to get maybe what
(05:42):
two more hours in I think we ended up losing
like two three hours time you did?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
You lost about I think actually almost three four hours,
but you still okay? Yeah, three hours?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, yeah. Because McGill and I so little backstory here.
We were flying out of Dallas and so WeGo came
to pick me up at my friend's house where I
was staying, so I could, you know, be closer to
the Dallas airport, picked me up. We got to the
airport plenty of time, winter security, everything went just swimmingly,
(06:20):
and then we get boarded the plane. Everybody boarded the
plane perfectly, and then we're out waiting to get on
the runway and we set for thirty minutes, thirty minutes
waiting to take before we get the okay to take off. Well,
then we only have a thirty minute window to make
(06:46):
it to our gate with our layover because we flew
into where it was our connecting flight that we had
to switch planes, North Carolina. So we were flying in
the North Carolina and it's a fly to Boston and
then get the rental car and drive down to Amanda,
which is only what an hour and a half two
(07:08):
hours in Boston. Okay, So anyway, longstery short, Remember there's
a thirty minute window. Well, of course, what happens We're
waiting on that that one way or whatever it was
before we took off for thirty minutes. So when we
(07:28):
had our connecting flight, by the time we practically ran
to our plane that the plane was already backing out.
They'd already shut the doors. We couldn't go. So we
had to go wait in another line to try to
switch flights, and we ended up flying into were was
(07:49):
it to Maine, Rochester, New Hampshire, Manchester, New Hampshire, and
then ended up driving to Maine to meet up with Amanda.
So we had to switch everything, called the car place,
get that switched and it turned out really be cool though.
We got a really cool Jeep Mental Jeep, which was
(08:11):
fun because we was so cool. Fuck us the mud
because it had rained that morning and so that was fun.
But anyway, long story short, we did finally make it
to Amanda. We were just lost like four hours of
hunting time but didn't found some cool stuff and I
(08:34):
can't wait to share photos and video of that. If
we would have had more time, I'm sure we would
have found a lot more. Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And it was like and so my permissions, it was
like the perfect I want to call it the perfect storm,
but there's not really. It wasn't a storm at all.
It just it was webb never happens this way that
every single like permission around here that I have the
feel weren't planted. They were diggable. The weather was beautiful,
(09:05):
there was no snow on the ground, so like every yeah,
every field that I have permission to at all the
different places was open to digging. So so yeah, I
was definitely like, oh man, they're missing out because I
don't even usually get that. There's usually at least one
(09:25):
or two fields that are closed off by this time
of the year. So yeah, it was absolutely insane. But
it was a lot of fun, a lot of fun.
I know, Mgul found some cool stuff. I know, I
I found a couple of buttons, a thimble, the smallest
thimble ever, and then yep, and then I know, I
(09:46):
got an Indian and it's a fatty Indian. So it's
an old one. But it's in it's in rough, rough shape,
and I haven't haven't had a chance to clean that
stuff yet. I didn't even get a chance to empty
the box. I got to Bone and had a jump
it into a bag to start digging. But I know
you got an extra day digging at Bone because I
(10:07):
ended up having to work late. So you got to
dig basically Monday through Friday, and not Monday through Friday.
You got to dig Wednesday through Friday. Right, So, and
I heard that first field was a really good, really
good field for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
For some people, I guess it was. Oh I thought you.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Didn't didn't you get a certain button? And wasn't that
that field?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
That was the last day? Are you talking about the
last day?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
No? I thought I thought the first day you had
gotten a ball button?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah I did get a ball button there. Yeah,
that was a really cool and what I I got
a musketball ball button and back in Maine I got
that same day you got your thimble, your teeny tiny thimble.
I got a thimble there too.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh yeah, I forgot about we all got Miguel got
a piece of a thimble. Really, I didn't know that
I which.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I still waiting for my silver thimble, though I'm still
on my bucket list. It didn't happen, but it's gonna.
It's gonna some day it happened.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Is Cordobell on your list? Still?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Still?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
We saw con bell, Doug.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Oh Man, that's Conastoga bell that Flint Flint found was
flipping beautiful. It was funny. You know all those old
beautiful buildings and old homes and stuff in your area,
in New Hampshire area where we were. We were, I
(12:00):
think it was Miguel and I were right driving back
in the rental car to head back home, and we
passed this old church that had this giant Connatoga bell
out there, and it was it was one of those.
It was tombach had that deliery looking yes, and I
(12:20):
was like, look at that. Wouldn't you imagine? Can you
imagine digging up giant bell like that? I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I've found a couple.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Really.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, from I to see an old churt burned down.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Church, that's epic. I can't even imagine digging one of those.
But yeah, he dug a beautiful conn of Stoga bell,
and the other bell he dug was uh, it still
had the clanger in it as well, the clinker clanger
or whatever clapper.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I've dug one of those as well, and I they're
not jingle bells. I've seen them on a sleigh on
the leather like the leather has stuck out. Yeah, yep,
and I have I have quite a few, but I
dug multiple in the same I think I have five,
And there was like pieces of leather around the top
of them, and they looked they looked the same as
(13:11):
the other one he had dug. So I'm like, oh maybe, yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Pretty cool. Well, yeah, I dug kind of stugga bells before,
but I haven't dug one like he had, which was
the the tomback. What is that tomback metal?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
It's an ally, so it's it's a multiple. So there's
arsenic in it?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Oh wow? Really yeah, I didn't know that. I learned
something new every day.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
It could have arsenic in it, it could be copper zinc.
It's like it's a mix.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Of alloy conglomerate.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yep, but majority of them I also have arsenic, which
is what keeps it kind of like that shine, which
if it is kind of funny if you think about it.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Interesting. It's a brass alloy with high copper content and
five to twenty percent zinc content, ten lead, arsenic. Sorry
I'm trying to read this. Wow, okay, interesting he has
(14:34):
zinc content as high as twenty eight to thirty five
percent Ottoman tomback, you were in basins. Okay, that's Turkish. Okay, cool, cool, cool,
that's kind of cool. Interesting. I learned some new stuff today,
miss brass, ten lead and arsenic maybe added. Oh wow,
(14:56):
I never knew about the arsenic.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yep. So don't put it in your mouth. That's not
one of those ones you want to clean with your mouth.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, don't want to clean it like the coins, the
silver coins that I've put in my mouth before. Ye well,
I've done it, I know, and I've done a lot
of bitch time. And you don't have water. Speaking of water,
we gave away a lot of spray bottles.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah we did. Yeah, we did. Hopefully everyone, if anybody's listening,
who got one of those, Hopefully it brings you luck
and you start digging some silver and.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Gold, well living gold, Yes, you listen, indeed. But yeah,
it was so good getting to see everybody and detect
with them, and I mean to me, I enjoyed just
kind of our evenings hanging with everybody and eating dinners
(15:50):
and just like what was that farm to market table
place with.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Hungry Yeah, that was so good.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I was getting to hang with everybody and getting to
know other people, you know that I didn't know as
well that I've seen at these hunts, but I mean
the other Laura got to know her better. Thing with
her meaning just meeting new people's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I know that
Anne and her and her daughter, her daughter. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, So Amanda was given us a ride and we
had kind of stilled the back seat of her pick
up full of stuff. So we were right headed to
a field, and so they we invited them to come
with us because I was going to have to ride
(16:52):
on the back by myself, and so they said, sure,
we'll hop on too, And so we were trying to
find this field, and yeah, so we got a little lost.
We took a little scenic drive for a little while
trying to find this field. And so yeah, man, it
was driving and we're going up this massy hill and
(17:14):
at one point, you know, when she puts on the gas,
we all almost just slipped right off the back. We're liked,
and I was sliding off.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It was a it was a sheer incline and I'm like, okay, okay, guys,
hold on.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It was a total incline. And so here we are
about to slide off the back and I'm barely hanging
on and they're like wait word, and so I'm trying
to climb back on, you know, me and my short legs.
It was fun though. We had a I got to
know them really well. And yeah, her daughter which I
(17:52):
can't recall her name right now, was wanting to She's
got a t pro that she's only had a year
and she's still learning it that she's still interested in
getting the vortex. So we showed her some different things
with the Vortex and let her test it out and
so she was really excited about that as well. So anyway,
(18:15):
we had fun hanging out on the back of Samanda's pickup.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I do have to say it was fun. So I
forget there was that field that we finally did find
and eventually I'm like, you know what, I just need
to put it out there, and I started going, yeah, copper, copper,
copper copy, Yeah, copper coppa on the way back to
the truck and.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Uh yeah the cola CoA.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, but stuff was behind us and you know, we
almost were almost to the truck and she's like, oh,
such a sweet signal, and I'm like, what do you mean?
And uh so we got to watch her dig a
matron that was like I walked right over it, going
here copper copper, and I was saying, ah, it was mine.
(19:06):
I just didn't stick around long enough for it to
show up.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
And I was video and yeah, I was video on
it live and yeah, Amanda had already kind of walked
towards the truck and so she happened walk right over
it and hit that.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So I filmed it and Amanda caught those really killer
photo of me giving Steph a fist bump for her
amazing copper. Fine, So I love that photo, Amanda.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, pretty snapped it. Snapped it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I don't know how you snapped it. He just snapped
it at the perfect time. It's so cool.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it was fun watching her dig that
and I mean at that point, so that was that
was day one for me. Yeah, day one, and I
haven't I hadn't been detecting in like the I detective
when you guys came up in the afternoon, and then
prior to that, I did like seven months, so I
(20:06):
was definitely at the point like rusty and like, all right,
I need a break. I realized I don't think I
brought my water with me at that point, so I'm like, yeah,
I gotta remember to start bringing water in these ginormous fields.
But it you know, when you go to these these
events like bone was. I mean, I did find a
(20:26):
couple of things. I found a really neat key, and
I found ay, yeah, me too, it's a weird key,
and a boat or lock. At first, we thought, well,
it was a what were people saying it was a
rain sky? Yeah, people were saying it was a rain sky.
But it turned out to be yeah, it's a boat
(20:49):
or boat ye yep. We were too far from water,
so I mean, it's doable. But I saw that green,
green green in the dirt and it rings so beautiful,
and I'm like, oh my gosh, this is it.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah. I think when I first saw it and saw
the shape, I first thought you found like a like
a what do you call it that goes on the
back of the boot with a spur when I first
thought you had at first glance when you showed me
that in the field, and I was like, no, I
think that has to do with like where wood Dow
(21:27):
goes on it like on a maybe a uh what
do you what do you call it a wagon? But
then or definitely it that did cross my mind, but
I was just dead said it was gonna be.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, let's see. We got to dig with a raven
a bit, and we got to dig with Scott eight
or two Vermont Hunter. It was nice to actually get
to dig with Justin a little bit too and see him.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And then I know you all gave away on Garrett Day,
you all gave away the vortex and who's there? Who
is the winner of that?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
The raven one? Yeah, And she's just such a cool,
cool person. And I forget how they they said she
is it?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Nine Yeah, keep up with them all. She is such
an amazing photographer. I love her. She car came last night.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, she carries her enormous camera on her back like
wild detecting. Yeah, crazy, Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I want to be like that, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yes, when I I strive to be like when I'm
her age, Yes, absolutely. I think I need to start
stretching and yoga and eating clean to make it.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
There though, me too, me too, yep, yeah, I'm there
with you.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
But yeah, it was. It was fun to get to
dick with you all. And I know that we actually
gave away a treasure. Vortex gave away like a swag
bag kind of. It was a cooler with a twenty
five dollars gift card and a silver round and a
eighteen eighty nine Morgan dollar and a bug zepper and then.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
That a really cool Yeah. Yeah, that Feel Clean kit
was so cool.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
One where you got it the diggers stand.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, MA can use promo code Gypsy all caps if
they want to order one or whatever other goodies we've got.
But that cleaner, I don't have one like that, and
I really liked it. So it comes in like this
little case and then you flip it out and it's
got all these little little like extra tools, a different
(24:08):
cleaning tools attached to almost like a keychain thing, and
you can use each different ending to help clean your objects.
So it's great tool to keep in your bag when
you're out or maybe in your car. You want to
carry it around while you're hunting. But hey, man, I
loved it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I do have to say, if anybody does get one
of those, when you're putting the tools back, put them
in facing downward the first day. The first day I
did not, and I put it upwards. So when I
opened it up to set it out for the second day,
I stabbed myself with one of the little poker things
and I was like, that's that was actually sharp. I
(24:47):
didn't even of course it is, because it's for you know,
cleaning out crevices and stuff. But yeah, it's really cool,
really really neat little field kit. Convenient, convenient if you
do any field cleaning the can and even if you don't.
I mean, it's a nice little set to have because
it has them all kind of like you know, you
have the Andre's pencils, they are kind of big. This
(25:08):
is like the ends of all the en Andrea's pencils
attached to like a three D printed plastic that is
attached to a keychain, and they're all in one spot.
Because I know I'm constantly I'll use one Andre's pencil
and then I have no idea where I said it,
and in this they're at least all together, so.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Right, Well, I really like that. And it also had
like the Magnifi the Jewelers loop with.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
The light and oh in a magnet magnet and Manet yeah,
bug Zappra.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
One yeah too cool, all kinds of goodies in there.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, And I think Claudia ended up winning.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
That and Claudiae.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Lucky Ducks, and I.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
See Claudia a lot of I saw Claudia and dig
Sock in North Carolina as well, and so I get
to see her a lot of hunts. It was good
to see her, and I was exciting to see somebody
that I know, you know, that one our schweggy bag
so fun.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I think she ended up buying a whole bunch of
tickets to on that first day.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
So yeah, wow cool.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yes, well, I know that I am basically getting ready
to head to Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Here, and so are you going to in Tennessee?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
How about it's Nashville for work?
Speaker 2 (26:47):

I will be leaving as you are getting there were
crossing path ships the.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Night, dang it, dang it, that's crazy though, we're going
in the same place.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I know, I know, and I think somebody else was
going to be down there too. Yeah, yep, somebody else
is going to be there. Plus it's my nights are
all tied up. Because I really was. I was going
to actually bring my detector, and then I was like,
I can't. It doesn't work. Plus I don't want to
check I don't want to check a bag, so all
my clothes are going in the carry on, and I
was like, yeah, I can't. I can't do that many
(27:28):
days with clothes with shoes and a detector in a
carry on.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, I'm bringing my detector just in case, of course,
but I'm going for other reasons. So yeah, personal reasons.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, that's your fun. And then you've got something else
coming up to right, what do I have? The Texas
Metal Detecting Clothes Texas.

I know there's all the details. I would have to
pull it up, let me se if I can find it,
but it is coming up. See, I think that's the sixteenth.
It would be like Friday, Saturday and Sunday of May.
Nice and I'm gonna be one of the guest speakers.
(28:38):
So it's fun too if you get a chance to
come out. And I don't know who the other guest
speakers will be, but there'll be different guest speakers and
you get to come see all the different Texas treasurer
(28:58):
you know, metal detecting clubs that will set up a
booth and they'll have you know, all their different finds
laid out, and you get to hear about other like
club hunts and other upcoming events coming up.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And it's just a great way to you know, get
to know people from community. It's a great idea, great organization.
So and they also have a they'll have a seated
hunt I think on Saturday and maybe Sunday. I don't
usually do that. I usually help plant but and help
with anything that they may need help with. But yeah,
(29:36):
it'll be a lot of fun looking forward to that
as well and seeing some of my Texas friends.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
But yeah, when you when you do those talks, when
you're talking, what do you what do you talk about? Like?
Are you answering questions at people?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Each one, Yeah, each one is different. I've done it
several times now and and I think the first one
I did was more of an intro about me how
I got started in metal detecting, etc. And I know
a lot of these people have been to a lot
of them. So actually I did a really different talk
last time, and I had so many people come up
(30:15):
to me after to my booth afterwards, because I talked
a little bit about dowsing rods so and how to
use them for treasure hunting, et cetera. Which I know
you and I've touched a little on it. But there's
some great information out there on dowsing rods and how
to utilize them, and I've learned a lot, and so
(30:38):
I haven't done as much as I would like to,
but it's something I would like to even explore more.
But I did do a little experiment with the dowsing
rods and what they call map dowsing, and there's different
ways to do it. And when I did it that day,
(30:58):
it gave me an area where there it showed silver
in two different places and gold, and I dug two
silver coins in that exact spot area that I experimented in.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
So a lot of gold prospectors look use them. There's
many different ways, many many different ways for and you know,
a lot of people don't believe in it, and that's okay.
But I've seen and I talked about how I got
into how I first got into using dossing rods, and
(31:39):
people were fascinated by that too, because when you hear
the story of about that. So I know there's maybe
some day I'll write a book on doscing rods as well.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
That would be fun. It'd be fun to listen and
read it check it out.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
But I'm not sure what I will be discussing this time,
am I. I think I've got an idea, but I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Ye, yeah, keep it to yourself. I just wasn't sure.
I haven't actually gotten to attend something like that, so
I was like, oh, I wonder how it actually how
it is.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
And usually there's like I think J J. W. What
is his name Williamson. He's a treasure hunter slash. He
writes all kinds of treasure hunting books. J I think
J C. J C. Williams. I can't remember his name exactly.
(32:39):
I know our listeners will know because most of them
probably have one of his books. He's usually a guest
speaker as well, and we'll speak on one particular subject
or how to find certain things or how to research things.
So he's usually one of the guest speakers as well.
Last year he finned and autographed one of my books,
and I gave him one of my I mean, he
gave me an autographed one of his books, and then
(33:01):
I in turn gave him one of mine my book
and autographed it for him as well. So yeah, fun.
So I don't know who if he'll be speaking again
this year, but they usually have several different speakers.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Fun. Yeah, that sounds like it sounds like a great thing,
and it's a couple of day event.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Oh and I know, yeah, one year they did have
a shipwreck guy that talking about the different dives and
shipwreck stuff, so that was a fascinating one as well.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Well that's awesome, very cool, very cool.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
But yeah, well it's great to catch up. And I
know you've got a busy time.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
You got to get ready, and I'm not even to
help yet.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
So I still got laundry and catching up to do,
and I'm still working on some commissioned paintings and and
I just had a few people message me, and I
haven't watched the video, but I heard there's some more
bashing the new machine through a certain basher on YouTube.
(34:19):
So sad that people have to stoop so low to
bash others to make themselves look good. But it happens,
and I haven't looked at that yet, but I guess
that's then I'll be doing later today if I feel
like it. I may not need that energy because I
don't like negative energy. I don't need to entertain it.
(34:44):
But apparently I've been attacked now.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Tooh, okay, all right, then maybe you maybe you should
check it or send it to me and I'll check
it out.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yeah, I just okay, I'm gonna send it to you, like,
do you take it out and then you can tell
me if I should address it or not. But yeah,
I've never meet this person, don't know this person, but
I'm being bashed apparently.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Okay, fun fun.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Sorry On that note, let's take to the sub positive.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I'm hoping to get out next weekend. I know that
everything here looks like it's about to pop. It's so
we got so much rain and the sun and it's
just going to be it will be great.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
It'll be great, great, great, great great. I'm excited for you,
and I'm excited for our upcoming travels and adventures, and
I know there would be more to come. So well,
it's been great and it was great to see you again.
And I hope it's not as long to see you again.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Appreciate that. Hopefully it won't be and we can yeah,
hopefully we can do something and and get that. Yeah, yeah,
before we can get together at some point. It's still
the beginning of the year, so I mean, we'll get there.
We'll get there. But you have yourself a wonderful evening,

Narconnor. What your back door? Hey y'all, and welcome to
(01:20):
the Treasure of Vortex podcast with Gypsy Jewels from YouTube's
zero Discrimination, as well as her website gypsydigs dot com,
and myself Amanda Digger Degaze. We have to apologize for
canceling last week, but with traveling and the craziness, it
just didn't happen. So this week's kind of kind of
be a double we'll catch you up on all the
(01:41):
things that happened in the last week and what we
kind of have a plan going forward. So, hey, Gypsy,
how are you this evening?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Hey, I am doing great, doing great, just catching up
trying to catch up anyway from my trip. I just
got back to Texas yesterday and I'm still not home.
I'll go home tomorrow. So today's been kind of let
me catch up on all the phone calls and all
the emails and the messages and all that stuff, and
(02:11):
I'm still not caught up. Oh you know how that.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Goes, Yeah, yeah, And so therefore you yeah, you haven't
got to start the laundry yet or putting everything, you know,
any of your the stickers, cards or anything that you
got aside put.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Together right right. I haven't had a chance, and I'd
like to start editing a video soon, but you know,
I'm gonna have to wait till probably tomorrow, till I
get home. But yeah, it was a blast.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I was gonna say, you do have a video? You
have what I was going to say with you the video?
You got one out? What last week? Well, yeah, you
would have announced it last week.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
But I would have announced it last week, but yeah,
I didn't quite But yeah, I ended up getting a
video out. And it's on a creek which everybody seems
to love, all the creek ones. And there's a dump
(03:20):
that I was with my friend Michelle and we got
to get out. We've had a few little goodies and
it was fun. I really enjoyed it. Nice to get out.
And that was, you know, before the trips. I got
that video out and then hopefully by Monday, I will
have my new video out, either one from Maine. I
(03:44):
haven't decided one. I guess I'll decide, you know, if
I'm going to do Maine as one video or if
I'm going to combine it with the with the new
Hampshire I have yet gotcha.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And then yeah, for those that don't know we well you,
you and Miguel traveled up to me and then we
went to Bone this week. But I do have to
say one of my highlights was you and Meguel coming
to uh my place to dig.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, that's definitely one of my highlights from the whole weekend,
number one, because I've been looking forward to getting to
see you and it's been way too long, been about
a year since I saw you. I think it's been
a year.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I don't even know, yep, exactly that year.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And since I got to see you last and it's
just hard to coordinate that, you know, being you being
way north and me being way down here South Texas.
So it was great to get to come to your
neck of the woods and get to dig with you,
and so generous of you to let megel Elle and
(05:00):
I on one of your permissions, and those definitely it's
always definitely a highlight. But even you know, if I
didn't find anything, it wouldn't have mattered, because you know,
I was getting a hunt with my co host and
so I know we're kind of on different side of
the field part of the time. But let's see, you
(05:22):
got to see John and anyway you me and Miguel
got to hit the fields and gotten a few things
and had a blast doing it. But yeah, we had
a little delay. We were hoping to get maybe what
(05:42):
two more hours in I think we ended up losing
like two three hours time you did?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
You lost about I think actually almost three four hours,
but you still okay? Yeah, three hours?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, yeah. Because McGill and I so little backstory here.
We were flying out of Dallas and so WeGo came
to pick me up at my friend's house where I
was staying, so I could, you know, be closer to
the Dallas airport, picked me up. We got to the
airport plenty of time, winter security, everything went just swimmingly,
(06:20):
and then we get boarded the plane. Everybody boarded the
plane perfectly, and then we're out waiting to get on
the runway and we set for thirty minutes, thirty minutes
waiting to take before we get the okay to take off. Well,
then we only have a thirty minute window to make
(06:46):
it to our gate with our layover because we flew
into where it was our connecting flight that we had
to switch planes, North Carolina. So we were flying in
the North Carolina and it's a fly to Boston and
then get the rental car and drive down to Amanda,
which is only what an hour and a half two
(07:08):
hours in Boston. Okay, So anyway, longstery short, Remember there's
a thirty minute window. Well, of course, what happens We're
waiting on that that one way or whatever it was
before we took off for thirty minutes. So when we
(07:28):
had our connecting flight, by the time we practically ran
to our plane that the plane was already backing out.
They'd already shut the doors. We couldn't go. So we
had to go wait in another line to try to
switch flights, and we ended up flying into were was
(07:49):
it to Maine, Rochester, New Hampshire, Manchester, New Hampshire, and
then ended up driving to Maine to meet up with Amanda.
So we had to switch everything, called the car place,
get that switched and it turned out really be cool though.
We got a really cool Jeep Mental Jeep, which was
(08:11):
fun because we was so cool. Fuck us the mud
because it had rained that morning and so that was fun.
But anyway, long story short, we did finally make it
to Amanda. We were just lost like four hours of
hunting time but didn't found some cool stuff and I
(08:34):
can't wait to share photos and video of that. If
we would have had more time, I'm sure we would
have found a lot more. Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And it was like and so my permissions, it was
like the perfect I want to call it the perfect storm,
but there's not really. It wasn't a storm at all.
It just it was webb never happens this way that
every single like permission around here that I have the
feel weren't planted. They were diggable. The weather was beautiful,
(09:05):
there was no snow on the ground, so like every yeah,
every field that I have permission to at all the
different places was open to digging. So so yeah, I
was definitely like, oh man, they're missing out because I
don't even usually get that. There's usually at least one
(09:25):
or two fields that are closed off by this time
of the year. So yeah, it was absolutely insane. But
it was a lot of fun, a lot of fun.
I know, Mgul found some cool stuff. I know, I
I found a couple of buttons, a thimble, the smallest
thimble ever, and then yep, and then I know, I
(09:46):
got an Indian and it's a fatty Indian. So it's
an old one. But it's in it's in rough, rough shape,
and I haven't haven't had a chance to clean that
stuff yet. I didn't even get a chance to empty
the box. I got to Bone and had a jump
it into a bag to start digging. But I know
you got an extra day digging at Bone because I
(10:07):
ended up having to work late. So you got to
dig basically Monday through Friday, and not Monday through Friday.
You got to dig Wednesday through Friday. Right, So, and
I heard that first field was a really good, really
good field for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
For some people, I guess it was. Oh I thought you.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Didn't didn't you get a certain button? And wasn't that
that field?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
That was the last day? Are you talking about the
last day?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
No? I thought I thought the first day you had
gotten a ball button?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah I did get a ball button there. Yeah,
that was a really cool and what I I got
a musketball ball button and back in Maine I got
that same day you got your thimble, your teeny tiny thimble.
I got a thimble there too.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Oh yeah, I forgot about we all got Miguel got
a piece of a thimble. Really, I didn't know that
I which.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I still waiting for my silver thimble, though I'm still
on my bucket list. It didn't happen, but it's gonna.
It's gonna some day it happened.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Is Cordobell on your list? Still?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Still?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
We saw con bell, Doug.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Oh Man, that's Conastoga bell that Flint Flint found was
flipping beautiful. It was funny. You know all those old
beautiful buildings and old homes and stuff in your area,
in New Hampshire area where we were. We were, I
(12:00):
think it was Miguel and I were right driving back
in the rental car to head back home, and we
passed this old church that had this giant Connatoga bell
out there, and it was it was one of those.
It was tombach had that deliery looking yes, and I
(12:20):
was like, look at that. Wouldn't you imagine? Can you
imagine digging up giant bell like that? I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I've found a couple.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Really.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, from I to see an old churt burned down.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Church, that's epic. I can't even imagine digging one of those.
But yeah, he dug a beautiful conn of Stoga bell,
and the other bell he dug was uh, it still
had the clanger in it as well, the clinker clanger
or whatever clapper.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I've dug one of those as well, and I they're
not jingle bells. I've seen them on a sleigh on
the leather like the leather has stuck out. Yeah, yep,
and I have I have quite a few, but I
dug multiple in the same I think I have five,
And there was like pieces of leather around the top
of them, and they looked they looked the same as
(13:11):
the other one he had dug. So I'm like, oh maybe, yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Pretty cool. Well, yeah, I dug kind of stugga bells before,
but I haven't dug one like he had, which was
the the tomback. What is that tomback metal?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
It's an ally, so it's it's a multiple. So there's
arsenic in it?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Oh wow? Really yeah, I didn't know that. I learned
something new every day.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
It could have arsenic in it, it could be copper zinc.
It's like it's a mix.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Of alloy conglomerate.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yep, but majority of them I also have arsenic, which
is what keeps it kind of like that shine, which
if it is kind of funny if you think about it.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Interesting. It's a brass alloy with high copper content and
five to twenty percent zinc content, ten lead, arsenic. Sorry
I'm trying to read this. Wow, okay, interesting he has
(14:34):
zinc content as high as twenty eight to thirty five
percent Ottoman tomback, you were in basins. Okay, that's Turkish. Okay, cool, cool, cool,
that's kind of cool. Interesting. I learned some new stuff today,
miss brass, ten lead and arsenic maybe added. Oh wow,
(14:56):
I never knew about the arsenic.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yep. So don't put it in your mouth. That's not
one of those ones you want to clean with your mouth.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, don't want to clean it like the coins, the
silver coins that I've put in my mouth before. Ye well,
I've done it, I know, and I've done a lot
of bitch time. And you don't have water. Speaking of water,
we gave away a lot of spray bottles.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah we did. Yeah, we did. Hopefully everyone, if anybody's listening,
who got one of those, Hopefully it brings you luck
and you start digging some silver and.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Gold, well living gold, Yes, you listen, indeed. But yeah,
it was so good getting to see everybody and detect
with them, and I mean to me, I enjoyed just
kind of our evenings hanging with everybody and eating dinners
(15:50):
and just like what was that farm to market table
place with.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Hungry Yeah, that was so good.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I was getting to hang with everybody and getting to
know other people, you know that I didn't know as
well that I've seen at these hunts, but I mean
the other Laura got to know her better. Thing with
her meaning just meeting new people's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I know that
Anne and her and her daughter, her daughter. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, So Amanda was given us a ride and we
had kind of stilled the back seat of her pick
up full of stuff. So we were right headed to
a field, and so they we invited them to come
with us because I was going to have to ride
(16:52):
on the back by myself, and so they said, sure,
we'll hop on too, And so we were trying to
find this field, and yeah, so we got a little lost.
We took a little scenic drive for a little while
trying to find this field. And so yeah, man, it
was driving and we're going up this massy hill and
(17:14):
at one point, you know, when she puts on the gas,
we all almost just slipped right off the back. We're liked,
and I was sliding off.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It was a it was a sheer incline and I'm like, okay, okay, guys,
hold on.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
It was a total incline. And so here we are
about to slide off the back and I'm barely hanging
on and they're like wait word, and so I'm trying
to climb back on, you know, me and my short legs.
It was fun though. We had a I got to
know them really well. And yeah, her daughter which I
(17:52):
can't recall her name right now, was wanting to She's
got a t pro that she's only had a year
and she's still learning it that she's still interested in
getting the vortex. So we showed her some different things
with the Vortex and let her test it out and
so she was really excited about that as well. So anyway,
(18:15):
we had fun hanging out on the back of Samanda's pickup.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I do have to say it was fun. So I
forget there was that field that we finally did find
and eventually I'm like, you know what, I just need
to put it out there, and I started going, yeah, copper, copper,
copper copy, Yeah, copper coppa on the way back to
the truck and.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Uh yeah the cola CoA.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, but stuff was behind us and you know, we
almost were almost to the truck and she's like, oh,
such a sweet signal, and I'm like, what do you mean?
And uh so we got to watch her dig a
matron that was like I walked right over it, going
here copper copper, and I was saying, ah, it was mine.
(19:06):
I just didn't stick around long enough for it to
show up.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
And I was video and yeah, I was video on
it live and yeah, Amanda had already kind of walked
towards the truck and so she happened walk right over
it and hit that.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
So I filmed it and Amanda caught those really killer
photo of me giving Steph a fist bump for her
amazing copper. Fine, So I love that photo, Amanda.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, pretty snapped it. Snapped it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I don't know how you snapped it. He just snapped
it at the perfect time. It's so cool.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it was fun watching her dig that
and I mean at that point, so that was that
was day one for me. Yeah, day one, and I
haven't I hadn't been detecting in like the I detective
when you guys came up in the afternoon, and then
prior to that, I did like seven months, so I
(20:06):
was definitely at the point like rusty and like, all right,
I need a break. I realized I don't think I
brought my water with me at that point, so I'm like, yeah,
I gotta remember to start bringing water in these ginormous fields.
But it you know, when you go to these these
events like bone was. I mean, I did find a
(20:26):
couple of things. I found a really neat key, and
I found ay, yeah, me too, it's a weird key,
and a boat or lock. At first, we thought, well,
it was a what were people saying it was a
rain sky? Yeah, people were saying it was a rain sky.
But it turned out to be yeah, it's a boat
(20:49):
or boat ye yep. We were too far from water,
so I mean, it's doable. But I saw that green,
green green in the dirt and it rings so beautiful,
and I'm like, oh my gosh, this is it.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah. I think when I first saw it and saw
the shape, I first thought you found like a like
a what do you call it that goes on the
back of the boot with a spur when I first
thought you had at first glance when you showed me
that in the field, and I was like, no, I
think that has to do with like where wood Dow
(21:27):
goes on it like on a maybe a uh what
do you what do you call it a wagon? But
then or definitely it that did cross my mind, but
I was just dead said it was gonna be.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, let's see. We got to dig with a raven
a bit, and we got to dig with Scott eight
or two Vermont Hunter. It was nice to actually get
to dig with Justin a little bit too and see him.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And then I know you all gave away on Garrett Day,
you all gave away the vortex and who's there? Who
is the winner of that?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
The raven one? Yeah, And she's just such a cool,
cool person. And I forget how they they said she
is it?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Nine Yeah, keep up with them all. She is such
an amazing photographer. I love her. She car came last night.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, she carries her enormous camera on her back like
wild detecting. Yeah, crazy, Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I want to be like that, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yes, when I I strive to be like when I'm
her age, Yes, absolutely. I think I need to start
stretching and yoga and eating clean to make it.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
There though, me too, me too, yep, yeah, I'm there
with you.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
But yeah, it was. It was fun to get to
dick with you all. And I know that we actually
gave away a treasure. Vortex gave away like a swag
bag kind of. It was a cooler with a twenty
five dollars gift card and a silver round and a
eighteen eighty nine Morgan dollar and a bug zepper and then.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
That a really cool Yeah. Yeah, that Feel Clean kit
was so cool.

One where you got it the diggers stand.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, MA can use promo code Gypsy all caps if
they want to order one or whatever other goodies we've got.
But that cleaner, I don't have one like that, and
I really liked it. So it comes in like this
little case and then you flip it out and it's
got all these little little like extra tools, a different
(24:08):
cleaning tools attached to almost like a keychain thing, and
you can use each different ending to help clean your objects.
So it's great tool to keep in your bag when
you're out or maybe in your car. You want to
carry it around while you're hunting. But hey, man, I
loved it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I do have to say, if anybody does get one
of those, when you're putting the tools back, put them
in facing downward the first day. The first day I
did not, and I put it upwards. So when I
opened it up to set it out for the second day,
I stabbed myself with one of the little poker things
and I was like, that's that was actually sharp. I
(24:47):
didn't even of course it is, because it's for you know,
cleaning out crevices and stuff. But yeah, it's really cool,
really really neat little field kit. Convenient, convenient if you
do any field cleaning the can and even if you don't.
I mean, it's a nice little set to have because
it has them all kind of like you know, you
have the Andre's pencils, they are kind of big. This
(25:08):
is like the ends of all the en Andrea's pencils
attached to like a three D printed plastic that is
attached to a keychain, and they're all in one spot.
Because I know I'm constantly I'll use one Andre's pencil
and then I have no idea where I said it,
and in this they're at least all together, so.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Right, Well, I really like that. And it also had
like the Magnifi the Jewelers loop with.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
The light and oh in a magnet magnet and Manet yeah,
bug Zappra.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
One yeah too cool, all kinds of goodies in there.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah, And I think Claudia ended up winning.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
That and Claudiae.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Lucky Ducks, and I.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
See Claudia a lot of I saw Claudia and dig
Sock in North Carolina as well, and so I get
to see her a lot of hunts. It was good
to see her, and I was exciting to see somebody
that I know, you know, that one our schweggy bag
so fun.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I think she ended up buying a whole bunch of
tickets to on that first day.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
So yeah, wow cool.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yes, well, I know that I am basically getting ready
to head to Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Here, and so are you going to in Tennessee?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
How about it's Nashville for work?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
So will you be there about the same time as me?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I will be leaving as you are getting there were
crossing path ships the.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Night, dang it, dang it, that's crazy though, we're going
in the same place.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I know, I know, and I think somebody else was
going to be down there too. Yeah, yep, somebody else
is going to be there. Plus it's my nights are
all tied up. Because I really was. I was going
to actually bring my detector, and then I was like,
I can't. It doesn't work. Plus I don't want to
check I don't want to check a bag, so all
my clothes are going in the carry on, and I
was like, yeah, I can't. I can't do that many
(27:28):
days with clothes with shoes and a detector in a
carry on.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, I'm bringing my detector just in case, of course,
but I'm going for other reasons. So yeah, personal reasons.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, that's your fun. And then you've got something else
coming up to right, what do I have? The Texas
Metal Detecting Clothes Texas.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah, so the tb AM see I can ever remember
the exact letters, but it's the Texas Association of Metal
Detecting Clubs is having a treasure show coming up. And
(28:15):
I know there's all the details. I would have to
pull it up, let me se if I can find it,
but it is coming up. See, I think that's the sixteenth.
It would be like Friday, Saturday and Sunday of May.
Nice and I'm gonna be one of the guest speakers.
(28:38):
So it's fun too if you get a chance to
come out. And I don't know who the other guest
speakers will be, but there'll be different guest speakers and
you get to come see all the different Texas treasurer
(28:58):
you know, metal detecting clubs that will set up a
booth and they'll have you know, all their different finds
laid out, and you get to hear about other like
club hunts and other upcoming events coming up.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And it's just a great way to you know, get
to know people from community. It's a great idea, great organization.
So and they also have a they'll have a seated
hunt I think on Saturday and maybe Sunday. I don't
usually do that. I usually help plant but and help
with anything that they may need help with. But yeah,
(29:36):
it'll be a lot of fun looking forward to that
as well and seeing some of my Texas friends.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
But yeah, when you when you do those talks, when
you're talking, what do you what do you talk about? Like?
Are you answering questions at people?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Each one, Yeah, each one is different. I've done it
several times now and and I think the first one
I did was more of an intro about me how
I got started in metal detecting, etc. And I know
a lot of these people have been to a lot
of them. So actually I did a really different talk
last time, and I had so many people come up
(30:15):
to me after to my booth afterwards, because I talked
a little bit about dowsing rods so and how to
use them for treasure hunting, et cetera. Which I know
you and I've touched a little on it. But there's
some great information out there on dowsing rods and how
to utilize them, and I've learned a lot, and so
(30:38):
I haven't done as much as I would like to,
but it's something I would like to even explore more.
But I did do a little experiment with the dowsing
rods and what they call map dowsing, and there's different
ways to do it. And when I did it that day,
(30:58):
it gave me an area where there it showed silver
in two different places and gold, and I dug two
silver coins in that exact spot area that I experimented in.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
So a lot of gold prospectors look use them. There's
many different ways, many many different ways for and you know,
a lot of people don't believe in it, and that's okay.
But I've seen and I talked about how I got
into how I first got into using dossing rods, and
(31:39):
people were fascinated by that too, because when you hear
the story of about that. So I know there's maybe
some day I'll write a book on doscing rods as well.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
That would be fun. It'd be fun to listen and
read it check it out.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
But I'm not sure what I will be discussing this time,
am I. I think I've got an idea, but I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Ye, yeah, keep it to yourself. I just wasn't sure.
I haven't actually gotten to attend something like that, so
I was like, oh, I wonder how it actually how
it is.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
And usually there's like I think J J. W. What
is his name Williamson. He's a treasure hunter slash. He
writes all kinds of treasure hunting books. J I think
J C. J C. Williams. I can't remember his name exactly.
(32:39):
I know our listeners will know because most of them
probably have one of his books. He's usually a guest
speaker as well, and we'll speak on one particular subject
or how to find certain things or how to research things.
So he's usually one of the guest speakers as well.
Last year he finned and autographed one of my books,
and I gave him one of my I mean, he
gave me an autographed one of his books, and then
(33:01):
I in turn gave him one of mine my book
and autographed it for him as well. So yeah, fun.
So I don't know who if he'll be speaking again
this year, but they usually have several different speakers.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Fun. Yeah, that sounds like it sounds like a great thing,
and it's a couple of day event.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Oh and I know, yeah, one year they did have
a shipwreck guy that talking about the different dives and
shipwreck stuff, so that was a fascinating one as well.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Well that's awesome, very cool, very cool.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
But yeah, well it's great to catch up. And I
know you've got a busy time.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
You got to get ready, and I'm not even to
help yet.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
So I still got laundry and catching up to do,
and I'm still working on some commissioned paintings and and
I just had a few people message me, and I
haven't watched the video, but I heard there's some more
bashing the new machine through a certain basher on YouTube.
(34:19):
So sad that people have to stoop so low to
bash others to make themselves look good. But it happens,
and I haven't looked at that yet, but I guess
that's then I'll be doing later today if I feel
like it. I may not need that energy because I
don't like negative energy. I don't need to entertain it.
(34:44):
But apparently I've been attacked now.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Tooh, okay, all right, then maybe you maybe you should
check it or send it to me and I'll check
it out.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yeah, I just okay, I'm gonna send it to you, like,
do you take it out and then you can tell
me if I should address it or not. But yeah,
I've never meet this person, don't know this person, but
I'm being bashed apparently.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Okay, fun fun.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Sorry On that note, let's take to the sub positive.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I'm hoping to get out next weekend. I know that
everything here looks like it's about to pop. It's so
we got so much rain and the sun and it's
just going to be it will be great.
Speaker 2 (35:25):

and I'm excited for our upcoming travels and adventures, and
I know there would be more to come. So well,
it's been great and it was great to see you again.
And I hope it's not as long to see you again.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Appreciate that. Hopefully it won't be and we can yeah,
hopefully we can do something and and get that. Yeah, yeah,
before we can get together at some point. It's still
the beginning of the year, so I mean, we'll get there.
