Love the show! Just watched it today! It doesn't matter to me that they go off and act up once in a while! They're into it and passionate about what they do! Wish I could get a chance to detect half of what they get to swing a coil over! Welcome to TN!

Hopefully people will realize what could be found at their place and start letting someone search their place if they were asked.

No...

I don't even waste my time watching it.

all "Juiced" is,
is Reruns of Diggers with annoying Pop-ups on the screen,
I would need to pause & read every few seconds if I cared :tongue3:

I will watch the new season of "Diggers" this week , But I'll never watch Diggers Juiced

I have felt that the show has sold a zillion machines for Garrett. But has and will cause harm to this hobby (not because of the Garretts LOL)... Plus.......they act like morons. Drives me nuts quickly....

Watching it brought me back into the hobby. I left in 95' or so. Land owners were getting so hostile I just got fed up. 15 years later here is my beloved hobby on television. A lot of stuff had changed. 4 tones. a digital readout , this little probe thing ! I liked what I saw. I didnt like King George. The other guy is okay. Both act silly and would embarrass me. I might have to say , man up or you be wearing you a$$ for a hat. I'm glad I got back in. Funny thing though. I didnt buy one of those detectors. I bought a Tejon , a Vaquero and a uMax Silver and for fun an F 2 . All of them used. I really saved a lot of money that way. Also I'm waiting to see the new Tesoro machine. Otherwise will buy a T2 ...but glad im back.

You are right.I'm a lonewolf.I think "threes a crowd"is a proper quote in metal detecting.These two guys make the hobby
look so simple and prosperous.Hey.The detector manufacturers are loving every minute of it.The show focuses solely
on history and finds.It relates very little to the art of metal detecting nor the etiquette that goes with it.(Properly covering holes,
respect for the land owners,getting permission,etc.)I'm afraid it will turn loose a stampede of gold diggers looking to
dig up holes everywhere.With no idea that it takes a certain criteria to keep our hobby safe.

I've recently got reason to believe
from a good source, some of their finds are Planted.

it's Hard to believe, since most of their finds are not really amazing.

But I heard they (or production) approached a land owner requesting permission
to plant some finds for the show.

I didn't ask for more details

I tried to watch it yesterday....I couldn't continue due to the moronic commentary coming from the diggers themselves. In addition, their digging technique is horrible.

I just watched it last night for the first time. Season two, the first three episodes.
Those guys are morons. Do other people in the hobby actually act like them?
