Nat Geo got the point about Diggers...

[Chicago Ron]

Hi Everyone!
I spoke with Executive producer at Nat Geo today to find out about the ratings and wether they wanted to do more shows or not. She said they were very concerned about all the flak they were taking about diggers. Diggers was filmed by another production company and sold to Nat Geo.
I informed her that all the feedback for the Lucky Muckers show I received, was posative and that this is the kind of show you said you want to see. She said they received lots of e-mails concerning how much people didn't like diggers but she had not heard any good responces about Lucky Muckers.
She told me if that is the kind of show you want to see I shoud let you know to write and tell them.
Here is the e-mail to send complements or complaints about the show.
She also said the show should air again in the next couple weeks.

I think I saw one episode of each.
Of the two I preferred the Muckers as it was more matter of fact and elicited a greater feeling of a more varied historical context. They were searching the Thames at low tide for artifacts and what not.

I don't know, I only saw the EP of diggers while they wandered about Alaska getting rejected by land owners and eventually discovering large artifacts that really didn't need a metal detector to find. I don't know, the episode was heavily edited and too much time was spent trying to present controversy about their simple searches.
Good grief, they were surprised that the ground was frozen... well yea, it's Alaska?
I don't know, Diggers isn't, my opinion, representative of the MD hobby. It's an overcommercialized attempt at the "reality" tv genre. Yet another exploitation of a hobby or way of life.

Why hasn't there been an EXTREME MARBLES show?


I might be off base but that's my opinion.

ANY promotion of this hobby will kill it the minute the TV reality folks get ahold of it.
We don't need ANY publicity regardless of whether it is good or bad.
There's already too many folks out there doing bad things that reflect badly on all of us without idiots like these TV folks making fools of us all.
Is that enough of an opinion?
Look what happened to that Gold show. The feds came down on the poor kid that had had the
gold mine with his grandfather for 35 yrs. They also hit all the other guys too.
Promotion is the LAST thing we need.

.
First off where does She Live ?
Certainly not in Reality.

People do not Email Compliments in Droves.
They just Email complaints.
especially not adults.
this is why good shows get canceled.
they think because they don't get compliments, nobodies watching.

I Still Havn't seen it. but I agree a Lucky Muckers show here in the U.S. would still get complaints from the Archies.
even if the show is about helping them, They would
want to add, that there are many out there detecting & Digging without archies
and make it sound like we are terrorists. remember unlike
Europe, We do not have a Live & Let Live attitude here in the us.
here it's, "do as I Say, or I'll call the cops or create a new law."

Hi Nat Geo!

My name is Rob Mickatavage and I live in Port Chester, NY. I just saw your program, "Lucky Muckers" and just want to say how much I enjoyed the show. I was a history major in college (BA History Ithaca College), and really love how Ron Guinazzo made it clear that saving history (or perhaps, recovering history) was more important to him than making money on the finds he made. In fact, it almost seems comical that he got just as excited finding an old shoe, as he does when he finds gold on his "Chicago Ron" You Tube video's.

He obviously is a man of integrity, and National Geographic is a television channel that matches that integrity! Well done Nat Geo! Thanks for making "Lucky Muckers" one of those rare shows I'm really looking forward to seeing more of!

With best regards,

Rob Mickatavage

Now the question is.. does she (or anyone there) actually read their emails.

For what it is worth I sent in an email complimenting Lucky Muckers and asking for it to be continued. Did you guys just shoot a pilot episode on the Thames or did you shoot several episodes already?

Good to hear.

Now what is REALLY needed is the same thing from Spike in reference to "American digger"

Sure,diggers was stupid,negative to us and obnoxious, but "American Digger" is TWICE as destructive.
