I heard they were filming for a Florida beach hunting show too...that was last summer, wonder what happened.

That's funny right there.I heard the two guys found a silver ring and got so excited they spotted a dolphin and rode it around the swim area then got arrested.... Just Kidding I always thought a water detecting show would be great but I guess so little of us actually hunt the water that they don't think it would.

and Im not jealous - I was offered a show before they were - even signed a contract but I have a federal job that I just could not give up or work around the production companies schedule for a show that pays about what I make - without the benefits and retirement - that might last a few yrs - nope
Do you have a YouTube channel or a series of DVDs of your hunts? I'm just curious how someone gets offered a show. It is my understanding that the "Diggers" were approached due to their instructional DVDs. Having a show seems like something you were interested in, given that you signed a contract, so why not make your own show on YouTube on your own schedule? (If you haven't already)

considering how many scouts post here looking for volunteers for shows,
I have my doubts they use You Tube, unless they have already gone thru
the entire list there, and consider forums a last resort.

I know TV show production likes to steal ideas from each other , but consdering how many are still
stealing the treasure Hunting idea, it must be a profitable one for them yet.
of course the more there are on tv, the sooner they will kill the popularity
Really? I guess I haven't seen those posts. If I were a scout, I'd primarily focus on YouTube, because it gives you an insight to someone's personality and screen presence. Seems like that would take a lot of leg work out of the search.
I totally agree American diggers was all wrong.
I couldn't even watch that show in good conscience
I fail to see the logic in how Diggers is "ruining the hobby". They respect the land and their finds, and give most (if not all) to the landowners. Some of their passion may be scripted for television, but is that so terribly wrong? Is the real issue that these shows bring more people into the hobby, creating more competition? I think it may also have to do with a generational gap. For example, in the 1950's, tame rock'n'roll like Elvis was considered evil and satanic by much of the conservative white population in America.
You nailed it...many veteran detectorist don't want this hobby to go mainstream...I do it for fun and relaxation, so bring on the competition and bring on season four of the best detecting show on tv...the guys that hate it will be watching too.I fail to see the logic in how Diggers is "ruining the hobby".
