tired of watching someone finding a bunch of junk, it's like watching american pickers. why not show people out nugget shooting instead. If you seen one american digger show, than you've seen them all.

Not haters it is just about as boring as things can get watching these metal detecting shows … And like John said why not show nugget hunting ……. But nugget hunting Videos are also boring ….. They are all so boring i do not watch metal detecting shows on TV and i tried to watch on you tube like some said and they all are just as bad ……. Metal detecting shows on tv or on youtube not for me …

I am cringing about the giant backhoes that he is using to tear up someones yard with no consideration for the property owner. I hate how he only does it for money, showing the price tag of each object after finding it, and does not care about the history of any finds, that is not how most of us think, sometimes the cheapest most insignificant things mean the most to me. A large cent worth a couple bucks in it's poor condition gives me the thrill of a million dollars. I think he gives the hobby a very bad name and represents metal detectorists poorly, I will be harder to get permission now.. I have not heard of anyone on here using a backhoe.

Though I always laugh when he says his famous line!


Just my thoughts, Coinman123,

I am with those who are happy that the show is gone for sure. I do not want to go to treasure hunting with fat people yelling Boom Baby.

I do not watch the diggers show and these Silverslingers i just had my full of them they post there videos every were .. i wish they would just go away..I do not watch metal detecting shows they bore me .......But Ric Savage American Diggers they sure did not bore me...i did like that show that every one went in the lynch mob way of things ..and had the show shut down ... I REALLY HATE LYNCH MOB MENTALITY AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED THERE.... SOMEONE DID NOT LIKE IT SO EVERY ONE ELSE FOLLOWED ALONG LIKE SHEEP ... THEY ALL WANTED TO LOOK GOOD TO EACH OTHER .. NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT THEY HURT ....... ONE OF THE TV SHOWS I LIKED WAS " BOOM BABY" -----YES I DO HATE LYNCH MOB MENTALITY------ And now Ric Savage has a good radio show and he is doing very very well..... he was not the hater or crazy one i think that most like that was you know were...

I have watched a few MD shows both on TV and You tube. American Diggers is straight trash. I couldn't stand the boom baby buffoon. Diggers is better but still not the greatest. When it comes to Youtube you get more bang for the buck. I like to watch a lot of deep Digger Dan. He is funnier then the Diggers crew. He is also in touch with his fans. I know that having a treasure show has to be hard to keep one in tuned to it. but as long as its not that American Diggers dude I am good and will continue to watch
