[GatorBoy]

Curious as to why they were hunting in standard mode, maybe I should give it a spin...nah, I like pro mode.

Also thought they would be rocking the Garrett Carrot with the new season, I know dealers here on Tnet that can hook them up.

Yea, I was actually expecting to see complety different machines and the carrott...guess its was all filmed awhile ago

The only problem with the show is that these guys get so excited that it just appears fake and they are annoying. Its a cool idea for a show and could be as good as american pickers if the guys were likeable.

This is the main reason why I watch. Their antics can be over-the-top, but they have to liven up the show for TV audiences. The only thing that annoys me is their "Diggers Dictionary". Roundness in the hole, Cologne, Civ, Juice, Nectar, etc. I've never spoke this dialect nor have I heard anyone else use such terms. It frankly is ridiculous how they continuously throw about the terms.

What about wheatie, zincoln, happy dance, bling, tot lot, etc...those could be considered ridiculous by some people too...do those terms annoy you?

They have done several detecting shows the way you think they should be done...where are they now?...Diggers is still standing because those guys are liked by so many.

I use standard mode when Im hunting sports fields, play grounds and fresh water lakes...I use pro mode when Im hunting old places where I think stuff like silver coins might be deep.

Good stuff.
I love watching these guys and don't give a damn about anyone who doesn't honestly

Yeah, Ive been behind them from the very beginning...I always say I don't like the show, I love it...but then again, my wife says she learned years ago that I will never grow up...me and my friends have one hell of a sense of humor.

No why would slang terms that transcend multiple niche communities annoy me? I would say they are more accepted among those that do not detect. For example, I could be conversing with a coin collector who knows nothing about detecting and they would still understand what I'm talking about. i.e. "I was searching a tot lot while finding a bunch of crusty zincolns when out pops a 1909 S VDB wheatie. I jumped up and did a happy dance." On the other hand, "Searching a tot lot, I realized I was in a Nectar Secter", just sounds perverted.

I always felt foolish standing in a playground with my detector.

 

[Fletch88]

Yes me to GatorBoy, that's why I hate park/ tot lot type places.

I always felt foolish standing in a playground with my detector.

I did too until I started finding gold and silver...then I felt foolish for feeling foolish.

Sooo, your terms are ok because coin collectors know what they mean...interesting.

I already know I can go find gold and silver in a playground but you just won't see me doing it... That's just me I don't really like feeling like I'm only a few hours behind some child or mother like a vulture circling in the sky lol

Looking for recent drops, at the beach or anywhere else, I always feel like a vulture...I embrace it and have no problem with it.

 

[GatorBoy]

That's cool I appreciate that and understand I don't judge I just speak for myself it's just something I can't get past personally.
I know I know seeing gold in a scoop and getting cash for it is a pretty nice thing ..it just seems shallow to me.. Enough so that I tend to lose patience quickly and don't spend much time doing it

I have seen the two guys in interviews off the show and they seem like good guys. In the interviews they come across very well and represent the sport in a positive manner. But, getting so excited you have an orgasm every time you find something screams "made for TV". Still, I hope they do well and the show continues.

 

[GatorBoy]

I just watched them on St. Croix ...I'm jealous

 

[bjw]

I guess I've gotten over their weirdness & just enjoy the show. At least I don't have to wait until next week, watch a rehash of the last week's show and basically see almost nothing new.

[ringking76]

I can't stand the show,instead of having one screaming BOOM BABY!
We have two boobs running around like idiots.

 

[GatorBoy]

If there were absolutely no antics or anything to break up the monotony it would be like watching paint dry.
I love metal detecting....but...no way I'm going to sit and watch a boring,stiff,put you to sleep old man swinging a detector like some P.B.S. broadcast.
Yaaaaawwwnn....
I started this thread just to let people know who actually want to watch this show when it was starting not to have another session of beating the same dead horse if you don't like it don't watch it it's very simple

 

[The Goop]

Great show! You all need to calm down, sit back and enjoy it! Roundness in the hole!
