Macnil word conn on your back door, hi Ellen, Welcome
(01:25):
to Monday's Oh my gosh, it's been so long Monday's podcast,
Treasure Vortex No scratch that, scratch that Hi, y'all, and
welcome to Treasure Vartex on Monday Night. This is Amanda
Digger Digauz. I have Gypsy Jewels from YouTube zero discrimination
(01:48):
as well as her website gypsydigs dot com, and we're
just gonna get right into it. That round of applause
should be for you all. I'm sorry we've been gone.
It's been a long month, but yet it's such a
short month. Yeah, So welcome to July. We took June off,
(02:08):
had some complications, had some issues, the system hated us.
I'm pretty sure I worked through the majority of the
issues this past weekend, so we at least have this
going for a while longer. So yay. We managed to
get past having to yay. I mean, we still might
end up on YouTube or Facebook, which is fine, but
(02:31):
we really do like this platform. So for the time being,
we're back at it. Nah. Yeah, and hi Gypsy my friend.
It's been so long, Hi, right, it has it seems
like forever.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I mean, like you said, it's been so long, but
yet it's happen. If we've both been going and going
and going and going, and we just haven't stopped. So
it's good to be back and to cure your voice
because it's been way too long. I think we spoke
barely for just some short, short, hot minute, you know,
(03:10):
after my mom had gotten really sick and things went down,
and then we had had issues with the podcast thing.
But I'm glad you were able to work all that out. Well.
I had my own stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, and of sending you the biggest of hugs always
for anybody, thank you. Yeah, anybody who doesn't follow Facebook
or Instagram. Gypsy's had a hard time the past few weeks.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, it's been rough. My mom passed away, and you know,
she'd had several cancers in the past, but this last
one just took the hold, and she'd been on chemo
and it just once there at the end, it just
it just went so fast, you know, and the worst
(04:06):
part was the hospice. You know, you just don't want
to see them suffer. And I'm just grateful that she's
not suffering now and that you know, I'll always treasure,
you know, treasure her and it just makes us appreciate all, yeah,
the memories, all of that makes us, you know, realize
(04:31):
that all of our relationships in our life, you know,
just like even being away from Amanda, even though we
don't see each other in person but maybe once or
twice a year, you know, just all of the different
relationships that we have, like with our metal detecting community
and our friends and our family, you know, they're also important,
(04:51):
and we just need a treasure every moment. And I'm
just grateful, you know, that I was there towards the
end with her, and grateful that I'm back here on
the podcast and raring to get out. I haven't been
out hardly any I think right before my mom got
(05:15):
really sick, I was, you know, I had had the
Vortex for a little while, and then they had all
the new updates and then they sent me a new coil.
I think I had a video out, but I haven't
had a chance to get a video out, and probably
three four weeks I don't even remember the last time.
(05:37):
So I did get out a couple of times in between.
Even after Mom's passing. I was able to get out
to Lake one time. Didn't really find enough for a video,
but you know coins, I found a toy car, lots
of trash, you well, so some of those, you know,
(06:01):
sometimes we I'm not saying I'm skunk I wasn't skunked,
because it's always nice just to get out no matter
what you find. But it's just been far and few between.
So how about you. I mean, I know you've been
traveling too, and I had a lot of family stuff
(06:22):
going on, and uh, I know you were saying that
you might get out yesterday this weekend. Were you able
to get out in middle lark or metal detect or anything?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Actually I did. I got out. I did not go
mudlarking because it's in the full sun and we're in
a heat wave here, so I ended up in the
in the creek.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
But heave eighty for you.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
No, no, we're we're at I think it's one hundred out. Yeah,
we're hot, and the humidity it's gross, so I can imagine.
So yeah, I figured go down to the creek because
it's always at least ten degrees cooler and I haven't
been down there yet this year. So I ended up
(07:06):
pulling a couple of vintage bottles. I got like a
forties fifties Coca Cola. I got a doll face that
looks like the doll face you found out in the field.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Oh recently, Yeah, I did get out. Yeah, that was
the day after Mom's memorial and I just was had
a friend staying that was cod came in from Louisiana
and we just got out, just messing around, doing a
little hiking and stuff and found that. So anyway, sorry, no.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Nope, you're fine.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Found a doll.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, we found a doll's face. I picked up. I
ended up filling an entire bag full of trash out
of the water. I didn't so we usually we usually
have uh, like I want to call them clams, but
they're not. They're like some type of shellfish. There's usually
a lot of fish. I usually see birds or ducks
(08:05):
and stuff like that. But I didn't like none of that.
Didn't see any of that. And then I got further upstream,
like towards uh, there's a waterfall, and I went to
step down, and I guess I must have startled the
snake in the water, so he like kind of looked
at me and slithered it away. But man, he was
(08:26):
a big one, so I think it might be actually
be the same one from last year, so that's a
good sign at least. And then I did see a
little teeny tiny fish, like a little minnow. So I'm like,
all right, because I'm always worried about the you know,
the environment, especially around me. Yeah, so I'm constantly picking
up the trash there, pulled a whole bunch of stuff
(08:47):
out of the water that shouldn't have been in there.
And that that's the first time I've gotten out. And
I don't know how long I got. I went out mudlarking,
maybe a month and a half ago. Again, yeah, oh wow,
I been too busy, haven't had the opportunity. So hoping
later in the week to get out mudlarking. My fields
(09:08):
are all planted, so detecting those are done, and right
now they're actually doing the first cut, so I might
be able to get onto a hay field once the
weather breaks.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Okay, yeah, I did. I did get out. What day
was it? I think it was the fourth with my
friend Margie for just a little while that morning we
went and had brunch together, and she's in one of
my metal detecting videos. She didn't really metal detect, but
(09:44):
you know, she always entertained me. Uh so I said something, Hey,
you know any good creeks and she said, you know,
over there by her work there was a creek run off.
So I did manage to get a little short and
that I'll be posting on socials today. I just haven't
had a chance because you know, the holiday happened and
(10:05):
all that, so I was able to get out. I
did get a kind of vintage Doctor Pepper bottle.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I got a Doctor Pepper bottle too.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Really cool. It was probably way older than mine.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Oh no, mine's probably a sixties painted. The paint's almost gone.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Mine's painted too, but the paint was in perfect conditions
with thee Yeah. So yeah, it'll be in my video,
along with some other little knickknacks that I found or
things that I found. And anyway, I was teasing Margie
because she got down in the creek. She always wears
these funky boots and funky colors, and you know, she
(10:47):
just went through cancer herself, so she has a funky
wig or hat on. She just got all these bright
fluorescant green boots. You see a glimpse of them in
my video. It cracks me up. I was like, you
don't to get down then that creek with those boots
and I don't care they crack me up. But anyway,
(11:09):
I'll get that video hopefully by today. But I will
say this weekend I will be in Edna, Texas. I'll
be traveling down there Friday evening and on Saturday there
is a small metal detecting hunt put on by the
Texana Museum there and I'm there guests, whatever you want
(11:31):
to call it, and I'll be there, you know, helping
people metal detect and helping see some that morning what
hasn't been done. And we're going to be giving tours
in the museum, et cetera. And anyway, another friend, my
(11:58):
friend Megan, will be I mean with me. And we're
also got another project. I don't know if some of you,
I'm starting a new book then I will be working on.
She's gonna go with me. We're gonna hit some of
that area which has to do with history, not metal detecting,
but history and cemetery. So she's my photographer on that
(12:21):
and got the fancy camera awesome, and so she's gonna
be We're gonna hit some of those places, probably on
our way back or some while we're there. If we
have time, but you know we can't do it all
in one weekend, so we've already started. And anyway, so.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's the metal detecting event hosted by Texana Museum. Did
I say that right?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So July two, El texanom Museum.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Ten AM Meet and Great with Gypsy Jewels. Eleven AM
is a seated hunt and that's in Edna, Texas. And
so let's see, it looks like it's cash only, and
it's fifteen dollars for seventeen years and up, twenty five
dollars for entire family, and five dollars for under sixteen
or any adult bystanders. So it sounds like fun.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, so really inexpensive. There's some new prizes, she would
tell me about some of the prizes or some silver jewelry,
whether silver coins, jewelry, prize tokens. It's not a big
fancy hunt like a lot of people are a lot
last time she did it. Last year, I went and
(13:34):
I was their guest, and we had a really good
turnout for the small area, and I would say mostly
ninety percent of the people that came were newbies. And
then also has a little children's hunt, and everybody had
a great time, great introduction for the hobby. So if
you're expecting a fancy hunt like some big hunts or
(13:58):
like you know, I kind of seed it hunt, it's
not like that. It's much smaller than you. But it
would be great personal touch. Yeah, if you want to
come out personal meet, maybe even if you're not maybe
if it's not the type of hunt you're used to,
if you want to come and help out some beginners
(14:19):
and stuff like that. So anyway, it would be fun.
And the museum is great and a great historical area too,
great historic of the history in that whole area is
just fascinating. So anyway, I'm looking forward to that. I
need that getaway.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
The say, it's nice that they offer the family package,
like for twenty five dollars. That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's nice.
Yeah this upcoming Nope, not this upcoming weekend. So the
following weekend, so Saturday, July nineteenth, I will be in
Essex Junction, Vermont for it's called KK Strong and it's
(15:03):
an event benefiting breast cancer survivor but also for local veterans.
So there's good John's actually performing and Audra Audre from
Autumn City is going to be performing and it will
be neat I think. I think Charlie and his wife
are going to be there and Raymond and Sweet Tea
(15:25):
is gonna go be there and it should be fun.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah. When is it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's not this weekend but next weekend, the nineteenth.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Mm hmmm. No, I don't think I could make that.
That's during it mm hmm. Shut. I've got so much
the other stuff going on.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I know, right, it's just one thing. I say, it's
one thing after another, it is. But there right now
is like it's not digging, like, it's not a lot
of it's not digging related. So it's it's different. It's different.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
This is the project.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
It's the first year that like I've really missed out
on well besides last year with the surgeries. This year
it's just helping out with family and not getting that opportunity.
But I do have to say when I get the opportunity,
like yesterday, it was it was pleasant. It was very nice.
It was a good time to be able to just
(16:36):
like distress.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, you know what it's like when you when you
haven't gotten out and it's to a place you haven't either.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, even if you hadn't been forever, just to get out.
Whether he gets stunted or not, you know, it doesn't matter.
What's fine. It is nice to get out, especially after
you hadn't been in a long time. And that's where
it has been for me too lately. I will say
this going back to the fourth of July weekend, so
(17:13):
that evening I was spending time with family and friends,
and I did get a call. So I have a
friend that lives in Kerrville, and she lives right on
the river where it flooded. Her house was almost swept away,
but her neighbor's house was swept away. There's several local
neighbors that their house got destroyed. But I will say
(17:37):
this so as some of you have probably seen on
the news that there were many many there was a
bunch of girls at a girls camp they got swept away.
They did find one alive, I think six miles down river.
And so what I was called for is to possibly
help after things go down. Right now, it's just chaotic
(17:58):
because the river's still extremely high and it's extremely dangerous,
but once things that'll I may be going down there
to help with some recovery. So what I'll be doing
is worth working with my friend Jeanette the psychic, and
we'll be looking for bodies. I'll be the boots on
the ground. She lives in Florida now, and I'll go
(18:23):
there with my equipment if it's in the water or wherever,
and I'll be helping search for people. And it's such
a sad thing that's happening. I know, there's been sending
all kinds of help. People have just coming out from
everywhere trying to help these people that have lost their
(18:46):
homes and their pets and their animals. There was cattle
and there's so many vehicles in the water. I just
I can't even watch the stuff because I know that
area very well. Part of the Guadalupe is where, Yeah,
there's a lot of my my friends live in that area.
Were in Kurrville, which is where I had one of
(19:07):
my very first time. It's my right there on the river.
So I do know that area is very very well.
Metal detected in that river many a time. So after
things go down and once things start to settle, I
maybe taking a trip very soon to go down there
and help try to find some of these missing people. Cool,
(19:29):
but that's one way we can always offer our services
I know that's something you don't necessarily want to do,
but we can't help with some of that, especially if
there's a lot of other debris and anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
So when we heard the report up here, I actually
turned to John and I was like, that's I'm like,
that's the area that Gypsy Gypsy goes to on occasion,
and like I'm like, I hope you know. At that point,
there was no you know, we didn't know really what
was going on besides flooding. So yeah, right, oh damn.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Terrible. Yeah, yeah, terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I heard more is coming in today, so it might
be a little while before you do get down there.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah. Yeah. I got so many friends too that live
in that area that are probably down there helping. I
know my friend that works for the Sheriff's apartment. He
posted a video but it looked like it was where
he lives because it's connected where I used to live
(20:42):
the San Gabriel River. I mean, I have too several
videos where I'm hunting in the San Gabriel River there
as well, and it looked like those two rivers are
flooded as well. So I have not spoken with him
to see, but he's the one that you know, he
worked for the Sheriff's department. He just retired last year,
(21:03):
but that's what he did for the Sheriff's department is
body you know, recovery, and he would consult me on
metal detectors, underwater machines, et cetera. There. But anyway, if
you are in that area and you can help in
any way, I know it would be greatly appreciated. There's
(21:25):
it's just so much And unfortunately, you know right now
searching for any won another one girl that they did find,
she that was like six miles down stream. Uh, she
was in a tree alive. So so grateful and lucky
(21:51):
that she made it there. And all we can do
is hope and pray that there's more alive that they're
finding now, you know, and that I know they've got
tons of help down there. So anyway, but if you
(22:12):
are in that area, feel free to contact the local
law enforcement or whatever in Kerrville, and I'm sure or
just go down there. I'm sure they're they're taking any
kind of volunteers that they can.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Oh well, that's a good, good public service announcement, gypsy,
And I'm sure you'll let us know before you or
when you get called like when you end up down
there volunteering.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, well, unfortunately we have to wait till the river
goes down because you should not get an hour.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Sure hmm, yeah yeah. But well, besides all that, I
know we were doing an earlier, not an earlier, a
shorter show to kind of get back into it. I know,
wh're you know, twenty three minutes or so, I think
(23:15):
into it. We're running about half an hour catching back
up with you all. I know that we both have
a couple of guests. I think that we're going to
try to light up. It should be good, and and
then we'll be airing these again on Mondays at eight pm.
(23:37):
And you can find them everywhere that you stream podcasts,
but not on YouTube because it's not showing up on
YouTube for some reason. Okay, yeah, when I fix one thing,
I apparently break another.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
So I don't know understand how did I even run
a YouTube channel. Oh well, it's great catching up with you, Amanda,
and I hope you get out this week for weekend
and are able to and I will keep y'all posted
(24:15):
and hopefully back next Monday night, and I will let's
all know how the thing and Edna went and uh,
I apologize you're breaking.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Up, but I was for you that it will be
some events that I've missed this year, but I wish
I could go to. That's all.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I wish you could too.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Well, I hope you all have
a wonderful evening and yeah, pardon our appearances. We get
back under uh construction and get this rolling again and
m hmm. Yeah. I hope you all have a safe
week and a great week and we'll talk to you
(25:07):
next Monday.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Have a great week and happy Honting. Bye all, good

But heave eighty for you.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
No, no, we're we're at I think it's one hundred out. Yeah,
we're hot, and the humidity it's gross, so I can imagine.
So yeah, I figured go down to the creek because
it's always at least ten degrees cooler and I haven't
been down there yet this year. So I ended up
(07:06):
pulling a couple of vintage bottles. I got like a
forties fifties Coca Cola. I got a doll face that
looks like the doll face you found out in the field.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Oh recently, Yeah, I did get out. Yeah, that was
the day after Mom's memorial and I just was had
a friend staying that was cod came in from Louisiana
and we just got out, just messing around, doing a
little hiking and stuff and found that. So anyway, sorry, no.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Nope, you're fine.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Found a doll.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, we found a doll's face. I picked up. I
ended up filling an entire bag full of trash out
of the water. I didn't so we usually we usually
have uh, like I want to call them clams, but
they're not. They're like some type of shellfish. There's usually
a lot of fish. I usually see birds or ducks
(08:05):
and stuff like that. But I didn't like none of that.
Didn't see any of that. And then I got further upstream,
like towards uh, there's a waterfall, and I went to
step down, and I guess I must have startled the
snake in the water, so he like kind of looked
at me and slithered it away. But man, he was
(08:26):
a big one, so I think it might be actually
be the same one from last year, so that's a
good sign at least. And then I did see a
little teeny tiny fish, like a little minnow. So I'm like,
all right, because I'm always worried about the you know,
the environment, especially around me. Yeah, so I'm constantly picking
up the trash there, pulled a whole bunch of stuff
(08:47):
out of the water that shouldn't have been in there.
And that that's the first time I've gotten out. And
I don't know how long I got. I went out mudlarking,
maybe a month and a half ago. Again, yeah, oh wow,
I been too busy, haven't had the opportunity. So hoping
later in the week to get out mudlarking. My fields
(09:08):
are all planted, so detecting those are done, and right
now they're actually doing the first cut, so I might
be able to get onto a hay field once the
weather breaks.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Okay, yeah, I did. I did get out. What day
was it? I think it was the fourth with my
friend Margie for just a little while that morning we
went and had brunch together, and she's in one of
my metal detecting videos. She didn't really metal detect, but
(09:44):
you know, she always entertained me. Uh so I said something, Hey,
you know any good creeks and she said, you know,
over there by her work there was a creek run off.
So I did manage to get a little short and
that I'll be posting on socials today. I just haven't
had a chance because you know, the holiday happened and
(10:05):
all that, so I was able to get out. I
did get a kind of vintage Doctor Pepper bottle.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I got a Doctor Pepper bottle too.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Really cool. It was probably way older than mine.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Oh no, mine's probably a sixties painted. The paint's almost gone.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Mine's painted too, but the paint was in perfect conditions
with thee Yeah. So yeah, it'll be in my video,
along with some other little knickknacks that I found or
things that I found. And anyway, I was teasing Margie
because she got down in the creek. She always wears
these funky boots and funky colors, and you know, she
(10:47):
just went through cancer herself, so she has a funky
wig or hat on. She just got all these bright
fluorescant green boots. You see a glimpse of them in
my video. It cracks me up. I was like, you
don't to get down then that creek with those boots
and I don't care they crack me up. But anyway,
(11:09):
I'll get that video hopefully by today. But I will
say this weekend I will be in Edna, Texas. I'll
be traveling down there Friday evening and on Saturday there
is a small metal detecting hunt put on by the
Texana Museum there and I'm there guests, whatever you want
(11:31):
to call it, and I'll be there, you know, helping
people metal detect and helping see some that morning what
hasn't been done. And we're going to be giving tours
in the museum, et cetera. And anyway, another friend, my
(11:58):
friend Megan, will be I mean with me. And we're
also got another project. I don't know if some of you,
I'm starting a new book then I will be working on.
She's gonna go with me. We're gonna hit some of
that area which has to do with history, not metal detecting,
but history and cemetery. So she's my photographer on that
(12:21):
and got the fancy camera awesome, and so she's gonna
be We're gonna hit some of those places, probably on
our way back or some while we're there. If we
have time, but you know we can't do it all
in one weekend, so we've already started. And anyway, so.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That's the metal detecting event hosted by Texana Museum. Did
I say that right?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So July two, El texanom Museum.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Ten AM Meet and Great with Gypsy Jewels. Eleven AM
is a seated hunt and that's in Edna, Texas. And
so let's see, it looks like it's cash only, and
it's fifteen dollars for seventeen years and up, twenty five
dollars for entire family, and five dollars for under sixteen
or any adult bystanders. So it sounds like fun.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, so really inexpensive. There's some new prizes, she would
tell me about some of the prizes or some silver jewelry,
whether silver coins, jewelry, prize tokens. It's not a big
fancy hunt like a lot of people are a lot
last time she did it. Last year, I went and
(13:34):
I was their guest, and we had a really good
turnout for the small area, and I would say mostly
ninety percent of the people that came were newbies. And
then also has a little children's hunt, and everybody had
a great time, great introduction for the hobby. So if
you're expecting a fancy hunt like some big hunts or
(13:58):
like you know, I kind of seed it hunt, it's
not like that. It's much smaller than you. But it
would be great personal touch. Yeah, if you want to
come out personal meet, maybe even if you're not maybe
if it's not the type of hunt you're used to,
if you want to come and help out some beginners
(14:19):
and stuff like that. So anyway, it would be fun.
And the museum is great and a great historical area too,
great historic of the history in that whole area is
just fascinating. So anyway, I'm looking forward to that. I
need that getaway.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
The say, it's nice that they offer the family package,
like for twenty five dollars. That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's nice.
Yeah this upcoming Nope, not this upcoming weekend. So the
following weekend, so Saturday, July nineteenth, I will be in
Essex Junction, Vermont for it's called KK Strong and it's
(15:03):
an event benefiting breast cancer survivor but also for local veterans.
So there's good John's actually performing and Audra Audre from
Autumn City is going to be performing and it will
be neat I think. I think Charlie and his wife
are going to be there and Raymond and Sweet Tea
(15:25):
is gonna go be there and it should be fun.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah. When is it.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's not this weekend but next weekend, the nineteenth.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Mm hmmm. No, I don't think I could make that.
That's during it mm hmm. Shut. I've got so much
the other stuff going on.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I know, right, it's just one thing. I say, it's
one thing after another, it is. But there right now
is like it's not digging, like, it's not a lot
of it's not digging related. So it's it's different. It's different.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
This is the project.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
It's the first year that like I've really missed out
on well besides last year with the surgeries. This year
it's just helping out with family and not getting that opportunity.
But I do have to say when I get the opportunity,
like yesterday, it was it was pleasant. It was very nice.
It was a good time to be able to just
(16:36):
like distress.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, you know what it's like when you when you
haven't gotten out and it's to a place you haven't either.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, even if you hadn't been forever, just to get out.
Whether he gets stunted or not, you know, it doesn't matter.
What's fine. It is nice to get out, especially after
you hadn't been in a long time. And that's where
it has been for me too lately. I will say
this going back to the fourth of July weekend, so
(17:13):
that evening I was spending time with family and friends,
and I did get a call. So I have a
friend that lives in Kerrville, and she lives right on
the river where it flooded. Her house was almost swept away,
but her neighbor's house was swept away. There's several local
neighbors that their house got destroyed. But I will say
(17:37):
this so as some of you have probably seen on
the news that there were many many there was a
bunch of girls at a girls camp they got swept away.
They did find one alive, I think six miles down river.
And so what I was called for is to possibly
help after things go down. Right now, it's just chaotic
(17:58):
because the river's still extremely high and it's extremely dangerous,
but once things that'll I may be going down there
to help with some recovery. So what I'll be doing
is worth working with my friend Jeanette the psychic, and
we'll be looking for bodies. I'll be the boots on
the ground. She lives in Florida now, and I'll go
(18:23):
there with my equipment if it's in the water or wherever,
and I'll be helping search for people. And it's such
a sad thing that's happening. I know, there's been sending
all kinds of help. People have just coming out from
everywhere trying to help these people that have lost their
(18:46):
homes and their pets and their animals. There was cattle
and there's so many vehicles in the water. I just
I can't even watch the stuff because I know that
area very well. Part of the Guadalupe is where, Yeah,
there's a lot of my my friends live in that area.
Were in Kurrville, which is where I had one of
(19:07):
my very first time. It's my right there on the river.
So I do know that area is very very well.
Metal detected in that river many a time. So after
things go down and once things start to settle, I
maybe taking a trip very soon to go down there
and help try to find some of these missing people. Cool,
(19:29):
but that's one way we can always offer our services
I know that's something you don't necessarily want to do,
but we can't help with some of that, especially if
there's a lot of other debris and anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
So when we heard the report up here, I actually
turned to John and I was like, that's I'm like,
that's the area that Gypsy Gypsy goes to on occasion,
and like I'm like, I hope you know. At that point,
there was no you know, we didn't know really what
was going on besides flooding. So yeah, right, oh damn.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Terrible. Yeah, yeah, terrible.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I heard more is coming in today, so it might
be a little while before you do get down there.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah. Yeah. I got so many friends too that live
in that area that are probably down there helping. I
know my friend that works for the Sheriff's apartment. He
posted a video but it looked like it was where
he lives because it's connected where I used to live
(20:42):
the San Gabriel River. I mean, I have too several
videos where I'm hunting in the San Gabriel River there
as well, and it looked like those two rivers are
flooded as well. So I have not spoken with him
to see, but he's the one that you know, he
worked for the Sheriff's department. He just retired last year,
(21:03):
but that's what he did for the Sheriff's department is
body you know, recovery, and he would consult me on
metal detectors, underwater machines, et cetera. There. But anyway, if
you are in that area and you can help in
any way, I know it would be greatly appreciated. There's
(21:25):
it's just so much And unfortunately, you know right now
searching for any won another one girl that they did find,
she that was like six miles down stream. Uh, she
was in a tree alive. So so grateful and lucky
(21:51):
that she made it there. And all we can do
is hope and pray that there's more alive that they're
finding now, you know, and that I know they've got
tons of help down there. So anyway, but if you
(22:12):
are in that area, feel free to contact the local
law enforcement or whatever in Kerrville, and I'm sure or
just go down there. I'm sure they're they're taking any
kind of volunteers that they can.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Oh well, that's a good, good public service announcement, gypsy,
And I'm sure you'll let us know before you or
when you get called like when you end up down
there volunteering.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, well, unfortunately we have to wait till the river
goes down because you should not get an hour.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Sure hmm, yeah yeah. But well, besides all that, I
know we were doing an earlier, not an earlier, a
shorter show to kind of get back into it. I know,
wh're you know, twenty three minutes or so, I think
(23:15):
into it. We're running about half an hour catching back
up with you all. I know that we both have
a couple of guests. I think that we're going to
try to light up. It should be good, and and
then we'll be airing these again on Mondays at eight pm.
(23:37):
And you can find them everywhere that you stream podcasts,
but not on YouTube because it's not showing up on
YouTube for some reason. Okay, yeah, when I fix one thing,
I apparently break another.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
So I don't know understand how did I even run
a YouTube channel. Oh well, it's great catching up with you, Amanda,
and I hope you get out this week for weekend
and are able to and I will keep y'all posted
(24:15):
and hopefully back next Monday night, and I will let's
all know how the thing and Edna went and uh,
I apologize you're breaking.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Up, but I was for you that it will be
some events that I've missed this year, but I wish
I could go to. That's all.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I wish you could too.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Well, I hope you all have
a wonderful evening and yeah, pardon our appearances. We get
back under uh construction and get this rolling again and
m hmm. Yeah. I hope you all have a safe
week and a great week and we'll talk to you
(25:07):
next Monday.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Have a great week and happy Honting. Bye all, good
night all m
