I'll be the one to look dumb, lol. What IS an "archie"?

LOL, I assume he is talking about an archaeologist, the metal detector's nemesis.
 

Thanks, Keppy. Have seen the term used here a few times now and tried to figure it out by the context it was used in. I thought it was just a generic term for a government employee since the people here seem to detest them.

You might want to dig a little more so you have accurate information. Also nat geo probably thought the panel just didn't get the concept of a tv show which is why it was a waste for you. It is a TV show, not a documentary on how to metal detect, ugh why don't a bunch of you "professional detectorists" get together and make a proper detecting show pilot, then take it to all the networks and pitch it to them, I'm sure they will jump all over it:0)

My information is very accurate. They invited us at their expense - we did not go to them independently. Enough said - I think the horse is dead.

I know they invited you, at their expense. There were people from all aspects, Archie's, detectorists, minelab was there. And I agree the horse is soooo dead.
 

So much better than the ******ED Gold Prospecting show's !!
 

It is all about ratings not selling detectors. I was part of a panel that met with David Lyle, CEO of NatGeoTV, to discuss these types of problems with the show. The meeting was obviously useless. NatGeoTV is owned by Rupert Murdoch - they just don't care what they put on TV. Ratings means $ from sponsors. White's actually pulled their ads from the show and Garrett will not formally sponsor them. However, the two morons sell Garrett detectors from their web site. That is why you see them using all Garrett equipment.
Or maybe you didn't make any valid points at the meeting...sorry the meeting didn't go the way you wanted...you never did answer my question. :dontknow:

Looks like we do have an Archie among us, or close to one:0) I got all kinds of info on this dig battles character. I don't think I really need to go to much into it but I'm sure he knows what I'm talking about. All of his " solid " info is in fact geeeerbage:0)

So he is a archie so that means that the info he gives us is not all true….. I wish they would stay away from us...

It goes deeper than that keppy, I don't think he is an Archie just very close, he is also quite upset " jelouse" although I'm sure he will deny it.

You know he has only made 10 posts and they have all been here on this diggers forum
 

Maybe he can tell all of you guys who he is and who he works for, if honesty and accuracy is truly what he is about.
 

That would be nice of him. But i bet that he will not do that...

I don't want to get in trouble, I enjoy this site very much and also enjoy the back and forth of these types of threads, but I do feel that if I am going to be held to the be nice rule, others who have made way more rude comments have not been warned.
