Diggers Show

[Jim of PA]

Well lets recap. They are both Garrett dealers, one is a miner and the other is a programmer, they are now both actors. That sums it up. Frank
PS They both speak their own personal language and pop there cork at finding something.

Say what ?

 

[Frankn]

I thought it was kind of obvious, perhaps I misjudged abilities so I will spell it out for you.
They are both Garrett dealers. That is why they they both use Garrett detectors. Their normal occupations are other than actors. That is why they don't know how to act as far as the slang and antics which have drawn many negative comments. Frank

 

[kayden]

Yep & all the guys with the negative comments are back here each week after they WATCH the show again!

 

[Frankn]

Yep, I think you are right. And they are all hoping it will improve, that is ditch the slang and crazy antics. It's like watching your kids grow up. You watch the stages, you really don't enjoy some of them like the crying at night of the babies, the terrible 2's, the independence revolt as teens, etc. And when you see them mature, it is all worth while. Think about it! Frank

As a good detectorist, I did some research

from their site, copied shamelessly in their own words.

Anaconda Treasure

Fill in Your Holes / Clean up After Yourself
Every site is unique. The terrain can vary from loose sand to rocks, yards, lawns, fields, beaches, etc. Landowners are also unique. Some don't care if you if you dig trenches, while others have meticulously groomed lawns that they don't want disturbed. No matter where you hunt, go into the site planning to leave it looking better than when you arrived. Fill each hole so that it looks like you were never there, regardless of whether the landowner is concerned with the site's appearance. Take your dug trash, as well as any other trash you encounter with you (whether it's yours or not). Note that there are many ways to dig an object from the ground. If it's shallow enough, you can pop it out without even digging a traditional plug. In rocky, dirt fields, you often can't dig a neat, traditional plug, so you need to adapt to the terrain and so the best you can. YouTube has several "how-to" videos if you are interested in different digging methods and techniques. As mentioned above, even in ranch fields where there may be little concern for appearances, you should fill your holes in smoothly so livestock or other animals (including humans) don't later stumble or twist an ankle.

TV vs. Real Life
In case anyone is unaware of this fact, it sometimes takes thousands of holes and targets before you find anything really worth talking about. On TV and in our DVD series, we show the cool finds because that is what is interesting to the viewer. Nobody wants to watch us dig up nails and beer tabs on a regular basis. Because there are severe time constraints on television programs, we don't always show a hole being covered back up, or the removal of trash, etc. Our television show is not intended to be an instructional video (there are already plenty of those out there), so viewers will have to assume that we clean up after ourselves and do the right thing at each site, based on the information provided here and just using good old-fashioned common sense. Some of you have had great suggestions regarding these "TV vs. Real Life" issues, and we will begin including tips in future shows and DVDs to address some of these concerns that may not be as obvious to non-treasure hunters.

ATC Lingo
Juice, Nectar, Ster, Roundness, Civ, Rev, Richard, V, G, Tweazable G, Jugable Nug, MQ, HV, Toke, Pennish Hue, Nick in the Pock, Boer Wars, etc. The list goes on. It's ATC lingo. It's our own language. It's how we talk because it's pretty funny sometimes. People that "get it" from all over the world have sent us gaggles of home videos and emails that use and contribute to our ever-evolving "ATC Dictionary". We love it! Even better, we've had countless laughs watching everyone else get all worked up into a snit over it. Seriously, dude... a sense of humor and an appreciation for history are not mutually exclusive in ATC Land. In fact, I'd be willing to venture that most ATC members appreciate the unearthing and historical significance of day to day finds as much or more than any of the tightly-buttoned office stiffs complaining about our vernacular. No one says you have to use or like this lingo. They are just words, acronyms, and phrases just like other "real" words. All words, including those in the ATC universe, were created by humans. And yes, although there is some anthropological doubt, we here at ATC, are also human beings. Therefore, get on board or stay on shore and get left behind in Boring World. (From now on, that will be "BW" in ATC-speak.

stay classy.

 

[jeff of pa]

lol I like what they say about the ATC Lingo

I'm still not gonna steal their "Tweazable G", "Jugable Nug" or "Pennish Hue"

 

[liftloop]

I'm all for what they find, love it.but why does the consequences have to be so high.

 

[Frankn]

Watching there show is like watching a show in a foreign language and relying on captions to figure out what they are saying. The big problem here is the captions are also in the foreign language. Frank

Stepping on soapbox now

Seems as I get older it becomes more and more apparent that so many people are of the belief that 'if it's not the way we would do it then it is wrong'. I've read several forum topics this week that reflect this sentiment. It's almost like people are threatened that they have been beaten to an idea, or someone else is going to steal their 'treasure', or how they are doing it in excess and it's just not fair since none will be left for them.. I'm here to learn new ideas, and share knowledge as I gain it, not discourage people who are just starting out or have a crazy or excessive idea. Life is often learned from doing it the wrong way several times before it makes sense and we begin to do it correctly.

Back to the show itself, there are so many post in this thread saying how it should be watched on mute, or how lame it is... but's it's sure funny how many of the trolls are watching the show then complaining about it just to get a reaction. If you don't like the show, why are you watching it? If you have the NatGeo channel you've got cable, if you've got cable then there are 300 other channels you could be watching.

It's been said that these guys are Garett dealers... What they have is a great marketing campaign going on. My teen boys love the show and we use the slang around the house all the time (and in our heads it's totally funny). We watch the show because we want to watch the show. It's no different than the old Budweiser "What's Uppppp!", or how Dr. Pepper wants to "teach the world to sing" campaign... it's just great marketing... it gets stuck in your head... plus it's getting the younger crowd interested in the hobby (this may threaten some of you).

There is a great chance that when I find my first gold ring I'll be running down the beach acting like an goof ball too...

Stepping off soapbox now...

Yeah..bid deal they are Garrett dealers.....you are a "painter"...excuse me....I mean "Artist"...and after every post you have to post one of your paintings

They are making a buck doing what they like to do....as well as you...the only difference is you use TNET to advertise your paintings for free...and don't say you don't...I know better.....If someone on here PM'd you and asked to buy one of you paintings, I bet you wouldn't turn them down....They are advertising a product they sell, just like you advertise your paintings that you sell.

 

[CityDigger]

Well guys I'm new to this site but glad that I read all six pages of the various angles of "Diggers." I really had no idea that you all didn't talk like The King and The Ring. You actually saved me a lot of embarrassment. I had already started working my lingo in anticipation of my next Civ War Show. I mostly hunt in Cologne areas and definitely favor Civ over other Rev relics that I also find around The 'Burg. I'm still trying to figure out how to open up a 4 inch circle, flip it over, pull out the juice and move on to the next one. In an effort to be accepted in the digging world, I went and ordered a personal license plate that reads--- "JUICED"

Maybe I should send that one back.

...and I watch every minute of every show! I'm hooked! I like what they do.

[lookindown]

They are heading to the beach on the next episode...cant wait, beach and water hunting is my thing.

 

[homestead-hunter]

[Tnmountains]

Doug, You daydream a belief in your head and then profess it to be true on this forum. Wake up to reality! I retired years ago and have not sold any paintings or photography on this form!!! You seem to be loose on your unbacked statements. Apology please!!!! Frank

They are playing harts and flowers for you.

 

[Frankn]

Perhaps they misjudged your ability to figure out what they are saying.

Speak for yourself John! I guess that applies to you too. Frank

 

[Frankn]

I think the forum members love to see the good finds, and just suffer thru the humiliation of the slang and antics as they eat up our image in the public's eyes. Frank
