Is it the,guys doin it themselves or is it the producers having them act that way mayb mayb that hate is at the wrong people
 

Can't wait to watch it again! Looking forward to it!
What would embarrass me is to go hunting with someone who
didn't/couldn't act up! I would feel uncomfortable around someone
who is uptight and judgemental!
I'd rather metal detect with my dog! She is happy, playful and excited to be out!
 

Exactly I'm always happy when I find something old cool something, not sure if I'd be comfortable aswell with someone who showed no exicitment & to serious life's to short to not have fun
 

Being excited about finding something cool is one thing...Running around falling down flipping and jumping is ridiculous... I don't care who you are.

Agreed there is a point where there should be a cut off point & there doesn't seem like one
 

Let's face it...DM is boring TV...trying to make it TV worthy is difficult. I just think they could do a better job at making it interesting...the show where the guys went around trying to get permission was MUCH better...the show had that big dude in it...there was some drama there and the guys make some money on their finds...THAT was a good show!

Really ? That show was a joke and a half. Beyond fake and set up. JMHO....of corse.
 

Well, it's was better than Tweedledum and Tweedle dumber on this show...

All they have is orgasmic responses to buttons and bullets...

IMO of course.
 

I hate them...

They are getting paid to detect where I can't.

They are getting paid to travel the country.

They get royalties on products and endorsements.

They got their own T.V. Show.

They are staying in nice hotel rooms and eating in fine restaurants.

They probably have a good health plan and a nice retirement account going.

They get letters from strange women wanting to have their babies.

They have never invited me as a guest digger...

Yes, I hate them too.
 

I'm sure your post is at least partially tongue-in-cheek... I don't hate the guys for whatever they're getting for what they're doing... I just think it's a stupid show.

Nope, you missed. It's ALL tongue-in-cheek.

Except for the getting invited as a guest digger part-

Now that's some serious sheet.

They are just regular guys, not experts...they don't claim to be experts. That's one of the reasons the show is so popular.

You're probably right about that, but I'd be willing to wager they'd run circles around some of the "experts" that post here and with their "junk" AT Pro machines no less. Just a hunch.

The popularity of Diggers in my house is quickly outpacing any of the other shows we normally watch on TV. We look forward to it every week. :hello2:

I bet you don't like the Three Stooges or the Jackass movies or Adam Sandler etc., etc....just testing a theory I have.
 

What I don't like about the show is that all seems very contrived and not genuine... And it isn't! Like I said, my eight-year-old thought it was a ridiculous show... What does that tell you and what is a tell the other people that think the show is good... It's ridiculous and it's an insult to metal detectorist in my opinion. All those things you mentioned, I watch them all.

I don't like the Jackass movies or Adam Sandler Either,
he's almost as bad as Jim Carrey
& can only handle so much of the stooges these days.

But I still like Diggers

Did you think that American diggers was genuine ? With that ridiculous Rick " Boom Baby" Savage ? He was more full of crap than any of them. Just curious...
 

I just thought the show was better overall... The guy found items and sold them... I don't know how contrived any of it was but if it was contrived they did a better job of it... Diggers is just an amateur half hour
