Re: Florida Hunters wanted for TV Series
It's one thing to introduce friends, family, acquaintances to the hobby who have a genuine interest in history and are not out to make a buck on their finds. Inviting thousands of new people worldwide to grab a machine and head to the local beaches and parks to dig for jewelry & coins especially when the economy is so bad is an entirely different animal.
The more posts I read from you "TV guys" in these threads, the more evident it is that you just don't "get it".

Many who get down right mean about it, one minute their talking about introducing people to the hobby then they are complaining because they saw someone detecting the local tot lot that they feel is their spot. Kind of reminds me of prospecting folks who have mining claims and put up no tresspassing signs when the land doesent even belong to them. Many a show has benn made in the past about treasure hunting and many a show will be made and oh look the hobby is still here, personally I hope to see lots of treasure hunting shows in the future so I can watch it on TV all the time.
