saw it, Naturally I Hated it.

Unfortunately We almost have to watch it, just in case
certain things are brought up from land owners, like
"What's my Cut ?" or "You arn't going to be doing any digging here !!!! "
imagine asking permission to search a yard,
from someone who saw them tear into the ground with Picks


First problem I saw.

The Main Character

second He said he splits with the landowner, then Haggles
them down to 30% ? Split means 50/50.

Say you agree to split.
then you give the landowner 35 Cents.
Is the Landowner going to believe you just tried to
rip them off, because they saw you dig a rusty pick head
they think is worth a few hundred ?




third The prices they get. again
most of the cash they made was for
mentioning the antique shop.
the trap was the only thing of real value,
and the pan sentimental value

The Pic ax, I Have several

quit watching scripted overdramatic shows like this and go detecting! Someone at work today asked if I have seen this show and if all detectorists are like that guy... that dude is a joke. If you are in the hobby to make money you are in it for the wrong reasons.

I Would Think Most People See & Hear "Professional Wrestler"
and Think "Phoney as a 3 Dollar Bill"
But of course there are a few who think they are Gods unfortunately >:(

Hey, at least "hoarders" isn't going to systematically DESTROY something I enjoy doing. These shows are a quick death blow to detecting as we know it.

Any day of the week

What's sad is that these shows act like they need to recruit people and bring it to the world's attention or the hobby will die. Quite the opposite. The people who make those shows really have to HATE the hobby.

They didn't "find" anything. They bought those, planted them, then dug them up for the camera. It's all fake.
