New metal detecting show to air!

I have always thought this would be a good idea,

other than the competition it will create.

We had a show on public access here in Louisville about ten years ago.

We did about four episoids, it was called the Kentucky Relic Hunter.

Everybody we know loved it.

These two guys are really good i have all the DVD's they made ..... They will make it go... But beware they are Garrett men. :icon_thumright:... there web site is.. www.anacondatreasure.com

No offense to anyone, but if they are Garrett men, I would love to hunt behind them.

My thoughts exactly!

This is very different and I hope you are able to see that. This is a hobby where you can find something one minute and take it to the pawn shop for instant cash the next minute. This is an hobby that shows people finding silver and gold in a time where are country / the world is in economic duress and people are hoarding silver and gold because of it.

Sure, it's fun when you are the one behind the camera getting paid for it. It's completely different when this is your hobby that could potentially disappear because of a silly show with some goofy characters make it popular enough that john q. public thinks it's easy and goes out and turns our parks into a big mess. And then miss jane doe complains to the city over and over to the point that it gets banned in the city. To think this isn't a potential reality of a show like this is just ignorance on your part. Enjoy your 15 minutes. I really hope shows like this don't destroy our hobby.

Are we all to act selfish and hope that others don't join and enjoy our hobby?

In this instance, yes.
These are my thoughts exactly, I just didn't want to be the first to chime in. I love this hobby and to see that this show could possibly cause a rush of amatures thinking they will strike it rich while leaving destruction in their wake makes me shudder. There could be new bans in place in a relatively short period of time. I don't feel that it is selfish to feel this way either, it is more along the lines of being protective and wanting to preserve a super hobby.

Oh contrare Mofrare! I hunted along side Tim all last year. He used the AT pro and I used the Explorer SE that I have used for years I had him hit every signal that I thought he couldnt pick up and he sure did. Its a wonder of a machine I was shocked.

10:00 PM to 10:30 PM
Diggers: Montana Juice

Ringy and KG are headed to an old prison in Montana to help the local museum curator uncover buried treasure. The shuttered prison has remained unopened for decades, but it once held some of the most notorious outlaws of the Old West. Who knows what the boys will find that once belonged to the prisons infamous residents Contraband? Bullets? A shank?


10:30 PM to 11:00 PM
Diggers: Digging Dixie

KG and Ringy hit the beaches along Charleston, S.C. Hurricanes may be a nightmare for homeowners, but they are heaven-sent for treasure hunters. Storms far out at sea often churn up the shoreline, revealing all kinds of treasure, or juice, as they call it. With potential riches and shifting sands, the South Carolina beaches could be a treasure trove. In no time, it looks like they are onto something. Could it be gold?

----

So these guys from Montana are now beach hunters as well? Seriously?

Just an FYI, we have been givin the approval to announce that a new show called Diggers will be airing on National Geographic channel on Feb 28th after Doomsday preparers. There will be a back to back episode and we will start filming this spring for a seasonal show. Hope you all enjoy it.

I dunno, it sounds good, but I'm concerned about the unscrupulous fools out there
who will run out and start digging up stuff all over the place and leaving holes,
digging where they shouldn't be and annoying the archaeologists
which will bring bad publicity to the hobby and who knows, may make it worse for all of us who follow the code.
I'm just sayin'...

I totally agree!!!
 

It will be a fun couple of shows guys, love or hate it I hope you watch. Its not the end of the world. We all take part in the comercialization of this hobby in one way or another weather it be posting on the forums or simply buying a detector not to mention talking to curiouse people that approach us. We are not as inocent as we would like others to think.
 

I have my DVR set to record the shows, and I can't wait. Even if it does not turn into a series, perhaps it will put a boost in their DVD sells.

As far as these Montana guys being beach hunters, Montanagold mentioned earlier they use the money made off the DVD sells, and such to fund trips to other areas, so why wouldn't they be beach hunters? Just because there have been no recorded meteor strikes in my area, doesn't mean I wouldn't travel somewhere else to hunt meteors.
 

If you watch the video,check out how many different change of clothes they are wearing.How long did it take to shoot just a 15 minute video?
 

Lol, that was the 2010 year in review for the relese of the 6 dvd installment. Geez
 

All thou I will be watching the show you will see sales of detectors going up and new users of them tearing up parks getting us kicked out.

I think Metal Detecting should stay low key.

EX- One time I asked to hunt a park in the town and got permission. I was hunting about an HR looked up and two other guys where there detecting. This show I will think just make people think they can do whatever they want.
 

Yes it will. And the show will be great:o)
 

The show may be good. But-------------------It will do a total disservice to this hobby. Ask the storage auction people about the affects. It will be an increase in the "not knowing " people and will lead to many problems for everyone. Just will give more ammo to the archies and others not liking metal detecting. I will watch and maybe change my mind -------doubtful tho
 

Well----watched and sure as heck did not change my mind. Not even a mature approach and the idea that everything has a worth and that is the important thing is crazy. We don't all detect to "make" a buck or even a penny. I would bet that most of us still has 95 % of what we find. As I said ----it will work to our sorrow I am going to stop now before really going off the deep end---lol
 

I thought the show pretty bad in all aspects. The good news is that I highly doubt this will be causing an increase in detector sales, or a glut of people tearing up our parks. Probably just make people think we are more nuts than we really are.
 

Just as I thought........everything revolves around $$$.Inflated dollar values,now all of my landowners are going to think my average day on there property is $100 day.Nice!I see no benefit to anyone.Also didnt notice them fill a single hole?
