Its funny how much I hated American Diggers because of the obvious...and I do like this show, because its more relalistic.. But the lingo thing is a little weird, kinda embarassing when people that know I detect, talk to me like that is the norm.
And I will admit, last weekend when I went out hunting with my buddy...we talked like them the WHOLE time, just being goofey of course....and there might have been a cartwheel or 2
.... They found that wedding band last night for that couple.....Ah well, just a thought! Maybe a small part of the show where they help someone find an item lost long ago?
The slang is annoying, but then I just skip there captioning.

So am I the only one that thinks that the show like any other reality show is staged? Examples: when they dig up iron it seems that there's minimal rust build up on the item. I know when I dig up iron it's almost twice the size. So I can go to any random property in VA start digging and sifting and am bound to find Megaladon shark teeth? Really?
Or that air filter in Detroit when it was pulled up it had two big holes in it so it should of contained some dirt chunks right? They open it and unwrap the cloth and not a piece of dirt falls out. Or in Chicago when they bust out the cinder block wall, the wall was fairly new no older than 10 years old, so when the new wall was being built nobody seen the object behind it? Really
Here's a question for the technical people. I have an AT Pro. I see that at least one of the guys uses the same machine as me. However the tones are different. Explanation??
You forgot my new favorite "Nectariffic" & I also liked it when they found the foundation..."Hey you found a found"As people I am sure they are wonderful. And for the record I am not running them down. I'm simply saying their "verb-age-" is annoying "silv" "nik in the poc" "juice" "nectar" "colonge" really?? I consider what we do as detectors to be more professional. I have to think some of it is just done for the show OR they do it since they hunt together and it's their "language" between each other. Either way, it's annoying to me. It's my opinion. I've never heard anyone else ever in person or on this site talk that way.
