Lots of folks don't like them. Many do. All I know is that they have a TV show and I don't...

if they put in the Trash finds and the filling holes,
they would have to cut out the jumping around and acting like the decent finds are special.

They only have 30 Minutes per show.

in order to do a show that would satisfy all,
it would have to be 2 hours (movie Length)

and 5 can tabs, or nails in a row, or half hour of straight trash digs would be booorrrring
beyond belief on screen

So true but then the jumping and screaming is just so over the top. My coworker asked if I did that. Oh well. I guess they r making money doing what they like. We should all be so lucky.

I saw an old you tube video of these guys, might have been a pilot for their show I think.

The guy found an old bell and started to go over the top, so a guy on a dirt bike rocks up to see what he found, and was like "wow a bell" lol

I am going to start my own show and every week I am going to dig another clad quarter and then say, "Oh. woe is me .......... another ........ clad........... quarter ........yup.....another, clad, quarter.....well, look at that.....another.......clad.......quarter...The show would be for all the folks who don't like to get too excited.

I understand why someone would find them annoying, but I find them entertaining, but then I grew up with Laurel and Hardy and Abbott and Costello on TV...Go Ringy, go KG....ROUNDNESS IN THE HOLE, WOO HOO!!

Hey Mr Down Under. What you saw on youtube is from a series of independent DVDs they made years before the TV show. It's called, "Extreme Metal Detecting". Completely wild and crazy.

I would like to watch the three stooges with metal detectors! That would be a much better show than Diggers!

Yes, wonderful! :wav: Can't think of a more entertaining show myself! Except I guess there would still be some folks who would complain that the Three Stooges were acting too silly.
