Sarge is a friend of mine and I can assure you that he is NO crook in any way. The producers were scripting the action so keep that in mind when finding fault, to assign it where it truly belongs.

:coffee2: :coffee: :coffee2:


Frank is also a friend of mine, and I think I can say also a friend of many people here. He is no crook by ANY definition. You might want to walk back that unwarranted insult.

So that's why so many on here were bashing chaggy?

Frank didn't come on here just to boast of a "connection" to a "well-known" production company, then disappear when asked to back up his grandiose claims.

Sorry I didnt think he was boasting... Pretty sure he was just trying to offer people and opportunity and got ridiculed... But I guess we are all entilted to our own opinions.

No, he wasn't offering anything. He was seeking stories with the probable intent of exploiting. Even if he wasn't out to exploit, the production company absolutely was. Hollywood has a big bag of tricks when it comes to getting out of paying people their fair worth.

So the federal law that protects a persons pitch to a production team is no good? Elaborate for me if you would... Why do you feel the way you do about IT?

Credibility of the History Channel has crashed.
Far from what it was , it's now made up entertainment.

Production companies are pitching appetizers to picky non-hungry networks.
Said companies bank/store lots of potential tidbits to offer.
Where do you fit into that?
What odds has any production company pitching you to the History channel given you to ever be on t.v.? And what degree of fact would be involved?

When truth don't matter to a certain network , how would being on camera claiming to have found the Dutchman mine do anything positive for you?

Bigfoot captured! Ummm, o.k..If History Channel says so.

what federal law?

The "blabbermouth" law. You know, the one that says anyone can post their fantasies on the internet.
Although real contracts have non disclosure clauses against that sort of thing.

Having said that, I would love to see a treasure hunting show feature a couple of these google earther "finders". Take them out to where they say "it" is, along with a real geologist or archaeologist, and film their big "reveal". Now, that would be a REALITY show worth watching !!

Perhaps Chagy will answer that question here. So far, he has only told us that he is a senior researcher for a production company which he hasn't yet been willing to name.....his choice. In other words, a front man. While he's at it, maybe he can also tell us more about the "contest" you claim to have won, which he hadn't mentioned in his previous posts.

If you had checked his profile, you would have Seen he claimed to be an archaelogist. I can tell you the "contest" is over...
