When they do a show like that and trying to promote a detector they will seed the finds......Matt

I saw it this morning!

Matt found a nickel! Meredith found a penny! Certainly not a seeded hunt, unless someone was awful cheap about it!

They both found can tabs. Can you imagine?

I guess when it started I was a bit skeptical about how it would make us all look. (The Budweiser Real Men of Genius comes to mind) So, I didn't think it was too bad. Nice exposure for Whites with that big logo on Matt's apron.

Wonder what everyone else thought when they saw it?

Good Luck,
Mark

I saw it as you did Mark.

Don't believe they were endorsing Whites, just what the guys have that took them out!

Seger,
I think you are right about White's being what their "guides" had.

You think they would have found more with a Minelab? LOL.

Have a great day,
Mark

Thanks for the link Treasuredigger!

It still cracks me up. But don't you just wanna yell when the can tab gets tossed back on the beach at the end?

Good Luck,
Mark

Thanks for the link to the video. I thought Matt scored all that bling. The teaser was just too good to be true I guess.

:icon_thumright: I thought they made a nice haul too..........the power of editing LOL.

if he dug it up, he should have put it in a trash can

He didn't dig it up or throw it. Did you watch the video? ::)

Good Luck on getting Matt out on a hunt!

I had sent the show an e-mail, thanked them for doing the segment, commended Matt for being responsible and hauling away his trash, and mentioned that Meredith could learn from him.

Have a great afternoon,
Mark

I know you elves are busy this time of year with the whole toy building thing but if your going to reply it would be best if you skipped the hot chocolate and cookie break today and watched the video and read the thread.
