"DIGGERS"

[hightonehunter]

I know a lot of people on here bash the show Diggers, so I thought I share a positive aspect of the show with you. My 11 year old great nephew was staying with us this past weekend. Saturday morning we were sitting in the living room, he was absorbed in a hand held game as usual and I turned on the TV and started a recorded episode of Diggers. As soon as KG and Ringy started their craziness his eyes went straight to the television and he forgot about the game. I started talking about metal detecting to him and then showed him all the stuff I had found so far. We ended up watching 4 episodes then I took him to the local high school and let him run the detector and showed him how to dig and explained the code of ethics to him. When we got back he called his mom and dad all excited about it and talked to them about getting him a detector! We didn't find a lot but enough and he was thrilled when I told him to take it home with him. Diggers might not be the best show for adults but the young ones love all the silliness of KG and Ringy and that's a GREAT thing! HH.......................David

The internet is anonymous place where people who dislike something can demean or bash someone or something with impunity.

I'm glad your going to spend some quality time that doesn't include the electronic game zombie training. Get outside and have a blast. My grandsons have the best fun finding treasures. They fuss at each other over who's pull tab or bottle cap this one is.

My grandsons have their own detectors now.

Get up, go out, and enjoy.

The haters don't like to hear stuff like this and they will overlook it.

ANOTHER Diggers thread? Really?

I'm not sure whats more funny, another Diggers thread or another person pointing out there is another Diggers thread.

Thank you for that story, hightonehunter. I don't care if "Diggers" aggravates 100 grumpy old men, as long as it makes a positive difference in one person's life, it's all worth it. And apparently "Diggers" threads contain too much juicy nectar, because people who don't like the show are always compelled to click on the thread and remind everyone that Bobby Boucher's momma thinks "Diggers" is da devil.

In previous ( Diggers Threads ) people said how harmful Diggers was to the hobby. I think it's an uplifting!

Why should this matter? Some like the show, others don't.

It doesn't change how you enjoy the show if strangers on the internet don't like it. Right?

You could make thread after thread of how you enjoy headcheese and still that will never bring me to try eating it again! Yuck!

I've got no problem with you. I just think you should let the "haters" go and keep doing what you love doing.

I enjoyed the OP's story here. I think that's great!

It comes as no surprise that kids would love this show.

Maybe they should air it on Saturday morning with all the cartoons?

Instead of "Christmas is for kids" maybe "Diggers is for kids?"

No offense to the adults here. Once in awhile I like to watch Bugs Bunny or Flintstones for old times sake.

Cheers,
Dave.

It doesn't matter. What you think doesn't matter...what I think doesn't matter...nothing matters. Ive got no problem with you. I just think you should let the "lovers" go and keep doing what you love doing.
