For people that don't know who you are, want you to, like, give yourself a brief, give us

like a background of like how you got into this and like where you came from and all that.

Yeah. So my name is Luke Caverns. I'm an anthropologist that studies sort of the origins of civilization.

But I'm kind of like a rogue anthropologist.

I'm not going to go work for a university.

I'm not going to work for a big college or anything like that.

But yeah, the way that that started was I grew up hearing about stories that my family had been

involved in. So on my dad's side of the family, in the 1890s, there's this great legend of this

it's called the Bill Kelly mine. It's like the lost gold of Bill Kelly. And so my family, they had this

They treat him like family and everything. And while he was out hurting cattle and I think they had goats as well, he finds this lost gold mine.

So I won't sit on this for too long, but they spent from the 1890s through probably the

Great Depression kind of shut it down because life got so hard and people couldn't live out

and dried in Texas anymore during the Great Depression.

There's this 40-year quest of my family and other people who are involved looking for these

lost gold mines. And it's, it kind of gets twisted up because when the Spanish were bringing
