Digger show tomorrow

I'm not sure why some of you are doubting what I said in my original post. IMHO 1930's pocket knives & recent 1 cent pennies are pretty much worthless. I simply said that they didn't find anything of historical value. Also, if you look closly at the one minie ball they found and said it had been shot, looks more to me like a dropped ball that had a plow run across it. One last thing; my information wasn't third hand but on the spot second hand at worst.

Yea, yours was second hand at worst. Your doubters would rather believe a maybe, 10 hand rewrite received thru the tube than a fellow TH. I dislike that when they look down on a fellow TH, but it does give you a good idea of the worth of their opinion. Frank

Well, in one sense you have shot my theory down. I would have expected them to find a sword buckle, hospital bullets, and a stray cannon ball or two, so at least they didn't salt those. According to Frankn it looks like they salted some finds, perhaps for the penny contest I agree with you, from what I read here, they pretty much found junk in regards to what they were supposed to be finding. So that makes the show a little more honest, but I can find that sort of stuff on my own, and myself or my friends don't get stupid about it, so I'm still not going to watch the show.

I get excited every time I find anything old. When that stops I'll give you my AT to do with as you please. I would have thought they would have made better finds too. But they didn't juice their own holes so they worked with what they had, it's TV, so in the grand scheme of things I'd say that little bit of artistic license is acceptable. Yeah, they act goofy. But most people do, and they don't even realize it.
On another note, I couldn't help but watch some of that train wreck called "Savage family diggers"...talk about salting a hole. I wish the dirt would just fall off of everything I pulled out of the ground. I learned that you should just bury the coins and brass and silver you find for a while. It seems that dirt is a natural polish.

I said some people call what they found at the inn, "junk". Glad you posted...your the first person that has confirmed they are not faking their finds. The haters thought the boys were going to be exposed on this episode but all of the sudden the haters have got real quite.

And I even promise to minimize the use of the words Juice, nic, pock, nectar, HV, silv, ster, civ, hoi, rev, roundness and all the other goofy stuff. BTW, is that boxer wearing fake eyelashes? Looks like a Revlon job.
