Your not giving the general public much credit. I think most people would know to fill their holes in without being told. Of course there will be people that leave holes open, they are the same type of people that throw trash on the ground. They do things even when they know its wrong. It wouldnt hurt for all reality shows to do a few things different...its just a show.I'm not saying bore the heck out of viewers for 30 minutes on the art of refilling your holes, but while they are digging out one of their finds they can say something very simple like, "Oh by the way, always be careful digging your holes and put it back together like you were never there. That way you have a better chance of being invited back again." What would that take? 10 seconds?
I know of one person who recently bought a machine because of the show. He is not an internet user so he wouldnt find us here and all our valuable insight. He went to some store in Florida and they convinced him that even though he hadnt used a detector in 30 years, he absolutely needed to spend just over $1,000.00 on a machine right off the bat. Although I'm sure the machine was worth it, I dont know if I would have recommended such an expensive purchase when he doesnt even know if he'll like it. He'll be returning up this way late spring so we'll see how he likes it since he doesnt even have email. I wasnt there so I can't judge entirely but...
