Yep. Excellent show. The guy wasn't a yahoo and showed true interest in history. Loved how he expressed it. Well done using the museum. Great lesson for US archies on how to work with your resources (us). :hello2:

Kudos to the Lucky Muckers show on Nat Geo and also to Chicago Ron. It shows what the majority of us relic hunters are truly about and I thoroughly enjoyed it. :icon_thumright:

I love this show.. it is based more in reality than 30$ to 2000$ finds every few minutes. I do not agree with European Ideals of keeping finds, but then they do not understand the idea of personal property rights and freedom, what would we expect! Everything belongs to the collective.

Good show Ron! Way to respect the law of the land (even if it is midevil). It shows that we have respect for backward countries too. :laughing7: :laughing7: :laughing7: :hello2: :hello2: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

great show,I really enjoyed it. liked the way they portrayed us who like to detect and told more of the history and refered to the museum on the finds. showed that we're not all after the money and that we do care about the history and the laws. hope this show stays on the air. Diggers makes us all seem like a bunch of fools that are just getting rich off the hobby,and have no regard for the history,and leave holes everywhere we go, good for entertainment but I'm afraid some of the new comers to detecting will think this is how we act and do the same. Muckers seems to be a really good show and hope to see more of it. fred

This one was great. I was very happy to see a show that actually took a realistic look into treasure hunting and MD'ing. I was very pleased that they covered all the facets of the hobby in that location in regards to legalities and hunting techniques. I hope there will be more productions like this...... instead of the other "offerings".

Fantastic program. One of the best ever on Metal Detecting. These are the kinds of programs we need to see more often. It truely shows the detectorests doing exactly what was intended, getting permission and being careful with their finds.

Chicago Ron did it right! "Jolly Good Show!"

Not sure you respect anything, specially spelling Medieval.:happysmiley:

On a constructive note, the mud larks are responsible for some of the British Museums best finds, so yes it shows what can be done. Anything on metal detecting is interesting & Ron proved it wasn't easy on the Thames.
