Can you teach the parrot to say " Ringy wanna smack?"?

How does what Jeff said make him an idiot? I understand why you think KG and Ringy are idiots, heck I would even understand you calling me an idiot, but Jeff said nothing offensive. :dontknow:

You get your own show on National Geographic channel then you can hunt in those place to!!!

Yes they are a bit kookie but it's TV and they are trying to show how "Fun" this hobby can be and hold an audience young and old at heart really.

The show is a GOOD thing for the hobby regardless of what anyone thinks about it ... and you even took the time to create and entire thread to talk about it anf give your thoughts... So YA, the show is working and is doing what it's suppose to do looks like good ro bad. ... "I'ts TV"!!!!

I for one get a kick out of the show and in 100% honesty I am ordering a new detector this week ONLY because I started watching this show recently (It just got me all fired up again and kinda reminded me how Awesomeness it was when I found silver and relic back in the day ... I detected over 15 years ago when I was young and got away form the hobby after a few years then after my daughter was born ... now that I'm older 15+ years later the one and only thing that got me pumped again to start going and finding treasures again was Diggers!!!

So just because you don't have your own NatGeo metal detecting show and have the clout to get into those areas where others can't ... Don't be Jealous!!!

It's a great little show and a Very good thing for the hobby ... respect it.

I agree with you. It is fun to watch and for sure does a lot of good for the hobby. What else could you ask for?
 

That show puts down every detectorists on this board.

It makes us look like idiots.

That's my issue.

I will do all I can to get the show cancelled.

May be a one man crusade... So be it.

Not going to sit back and do nothing.
 

Dude its not that bad, one show cannot ruin an entire hobby that's lasted more then 40 years. So you don't like it just don't watch it then
 

I like how the show shows excitement over rubbish. These guys at going ape **** crazy over round balls and pennies!

This show is not bringing the get rich quick guys to the table!
 

It won't ruin the hobby but it's already caused damage in my opinion… This hobby is about the hunt and the anticipation of a significant discovery. It's not about advertising for Garrett… Running, jumping, flipping, hanging from trees, etc.

A recent post from somebody here stated that he refused to agree with producers requests for staging finds, etc.… That person is a man of integrity and I respect him… I don't respect the characters on that show because their motivation is the almighty dollar...at the expense of their integrity…
 

Except why would you stage a wheat penny? Why not stage flying eagles or at least rare wheat backs?
 

I'm still trying to figure out why Jeff was called an idiot who happens to be a moderator. Pretty brave move I must say.

I think the show is good at getting a bunch of people into the hobby, which ultimately will ruin it. Let's face it many people coming into the hobby ARE idiots. Too many people running all over asking various levels of city and state personnel "can I go detecting in this spot with my new ATPro?" will wind up having total metal detector bans included in every parks list of rules.
 

Hopefully not. I watches hours of YouTube videos on how to dig and fill plugs before I even bought my detector

AMEN!!
 

The producers think that it would be boring unless they act like they found black beards treasure every 10 mins , it's been my experience that when I hunt in public places that people are always interested and someone always tells me they are thinking about getting a metal detector, and kids are always asking me what I am finding, so I think there would be a lot of interest without the antics and make it a lot easier to watch for me.

Sorry if we are not your idea of politically correct… That's just too freaking bad!

I call then like I see them. I don't care who you are!

If you're going to act like an idiot on tv I'm going to call you on it… If you're going to post like an idiot I'm going to call you on it…
