Hi Everyone,

I am a television producer with the company Brian Catalina Entertainment (Brian Catalina Entertainment). We are currently developing a TV series about the Knights of the Golden Circle, and the hunt for clues and depositories. The goal of the show is to follow one person, or a team of people, on their quest to uncover depositories, as we tell the stories and legends about the KGC.

We are currently looking for hosts for the series. This show is solely focused on the KGC. Whereas other shows have produced a single episode about the KGC, this entire series will revolve around the KGC and follow actual KGC experts on their hunt.

I would appreciate the opportunity to talk to anyone involved in researching the KGC, and/or hunting for KGC depositories. You can reach me at [email protected]

Thank you,

Kevin Hoban

I guess you have talked to Jack Myers? He wrote a book titled "Knights' Gold" within the last two years. I read the book and it is well researched. Although it is concerned with the origin of a gold cache found in Baltimore in 1934, he also goes into depth on the history of the KGC. Lots of detail.

It amazes me that theres enough of an audience for 'programs' like this for it to be profitable. I mean, we get one of these casting calls at least twice a month around here.

Many years ago it was commonly known as the idiot box-decades later has anything really changed?

So you want actors for your show about people hunting fairy tales while you tell them where to go, what to say, and reshoot every scene over and over?

If it has a narrator - I'm out.

But then, I don't know much about the KGC. Not that such would be an issue for TV.

This post is a breath of fresh air. And what makes matters worse: Is when the OP get someone to respond that they "know where it is" or "they have a system", it will NOT be representative of a normal md'ing enthusiast. Instead it will be a dreamy eyed treasure-map wand-wielding ghost-story chaser type person. Ie.: the type who sees clues @ any funny squiggle on a rock, or uses some ...... uh ... "un-conventional" method that has no scientific basis , etc....

Facts make such boring television.

Maybe we can get Commander Underpants to produce a KGC sword and decoder ring for the cameras.

Now that we've kicked the original poster around I was going to suggest he take it to the Treasure Legends sub-forum.

But he's already there and getting action. ;-)

Im sure the oak island treause show is done with the swors they bought from ebay. I bet the producer could get it super cheap and give it another use as a kgc sacred ceremonial or some other nonsense

Give the producer a break. If you do not want to do this sort of thing please do not knock those that do.

...please do not knock those that do.

The reason for the "knocks", is 99% of true md'rs can not stomach any of these "treasure shows". Because the representatives, they find to show up on their shows, are NOT true md'rs. (rare exceptions, of course). And when a post comes up, to recruit, it's that exact image that comes up in our mind. Hence the knee-jerk reaction to "knock".

Most of the time its exactly what these headhunters are asking for.
