These guys on this "DIggers" show are an absolute joke.
They are also an embarrasment to the hobby we love.
While not as destructive as "American Diggers" they still inflate resale prices to extremes and make it look as if its a money hungry society of greed and looting for profit.
They were previously aired and got into trouble digging on a historically protected site in Montana
"
Montana's state archaeologist said a Montana duo of metal detector artifact hunters featured in a new National Geographic television program appear to have violated state law.
He isn't the only one upset by the content of the show "Diggers," which featured Anaconda-area residents Tim Saylor and George Wyant. The show has also become the focus of Facebook petitions and write-in campaigns to the channel criticizing the show's content.
The first episode of the "Diggers," called "Montana Juice," was filmed at the Old Montana Prison, a state-owned property in Deer Lodge. The show aired on Feb. 28.
State archaeologist Stan Wilmoth said the show's production company, Half Yard Productions of Bethesda, Md., did not request or receive a permit to dig at the site, which is required because the site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

They use disturbing lingo that is false in every way and brand it as "commonly used diggers lingo" and get orgasmic over ridiculous finds. Its truly obscene

"Civs" -Civil war artifacts-something they no nothing about and should never hold in their hands
"Juice" Something of monetary value recovered by a detectorist
"Colonge" Colonial era artifacts
and a bunch of other stupid sh*t

That show was cheesy. Scripted nonsense.

 

[jamesbibb]

boom baby

Obviously staged!!!

Obviously staged!!!

Yeah because you would definitely find a civil war relic what appears to be less then half an inch under a 70's era hood!

I was forced to watch boo boo once with my kids, that was enough--lol---i will stick with SI and duck dynasty for a laugh------ happy new year to all----

Any body that is from Nashville is o.k. in my book. Believe it or not, we have our share of rednecks up here in the north also. That Honey Boo Boo is an idiot no matter where she is from. I can't imagine what she is going to be in 10 or 12 years.

 

[ohiowhiteguy]

BOO!!! HISS!!! You know what's gonna happen if people watch and like this show...
i think they'll be a bunch of idiots going out and buying metal detectors...
digging holes...not filling them in..and ruining what us good honest detector enthusiasts. all over the country have worked hard to get.
yes i'll watch the show as i can't get my shovel in the frozen ground..i'm addicted and will need my detecting fix..it's been a week and i'm having withdraw symptoms.
just my thought...HH...
OWG..

Probally looking like her mom with 3 kids and 3 different fathers..I know people in Nashville, and they are NOTHING like that family

On a semirelated subject, I remember the first 2 seasons of Ghost Hunters, where they aired EVERY case they did - whether they "found" anything or not. This, while boring at times, gave light to the fact that not every case gets positive results, or even spectacular results. Nowadays, it seems that SyFy only broadcasts the sponsored cases that definitely have major "paranormal" discoveries; GH doesn't even seem to do private residences anymore. It's a shame, I used to like the show, now I think I prefer Haunted Collector... John Zaffis and his crew take a much more realistic and professional approach to what they do.

In regards to reality shows like Pawn Stars, the reason they only show the expensive stuff is this: when you watched Antiques Roadshow, did you really care about the people who brought in cheap junk to be appraised? No, you didn't. The exotic, rare, and unique stuff always sells. Plus, I'm sure they get people who bring in multiples from time to time, of swords and guns and cars and toys and Coke products and I could go on, and on, and on... too much stuff to put into one season, much less one episode...

So in conclusion, of course MD shows are going to highlight the best finds and downplay the small stuff. No one wants to see some guy out in a field raking in wheat cents and common silver dimes. I think I would only watch a show like that if it were a local area, or the guy was professional and knowledgeable and frequently gave tips or used different MDs in different locations, or did joint hunts with show fans. The profit part doesn't bother me a bit, except where locally-significant relics may be concerned. Other than that, I'd definitely watch an MD show bc I'd be taking notes! And before anyone can say it, I do have enough common sense to know what NOT to write down!

Honey Boo Boo is from Jaw- ga but yeah,there are rednecks everywhere for sure,even in Canada if you can believe that.

 

[milk86]

I may have to check this out as I missed American Diggers and its got to be a lot better than a new season of Honey Boo Boo..

I would not go that far

 

[digging440yrs]

Wow, digging a trade dollar would be awesome, i dont think ive ever heard of anyone diggin one before--have you ?

 

[63bkpkr]

digging440yrs,
Quite a few years back myself and a few other fellows were off on a jeeping trip into the desert out of Bakersfield Calif. Old mining country with wild mules, cactus, snakes the stone shell of the old company store, an old Victorian house with a bunch of folks in it that looked like Manson followers. There was also one other old house and under the vinyl flooring were 1940's newspapers, lots of stories about WWII. It is interesting to see that using news papers for insulation is an old trick.
Keep swinging..........63bkpkr

 

[baspinall]

I told my wife and daughter that if they catch me watching Honey Boo Boo to take me out back and just shoot me. That is one DUMB show. On another note. Don't like how the digger shows sell everything. Makes it look like we all do that.

LOL! i was waiting for someone to say something about him rubbing all his coins! I do enjoy his videos and have to admit i rub all my coins too some part of me just has to see the date before i can put it away.

Shhhhhhh! Pssst! C'mere! NOW, don't tell him this, but, I rub them as well.
I just gotta know as well! LOL

HH!
Happy New Year!

Unfortunately, reality shows are the fakest shows out there. At least on YouTube, 75% of the time it's real. I haven't put out a vid in a while but I started a few years ago videoing some of my hunts. It is time consuming to search and video, but if done with a good balance, it makes for a great result. I'll have a new one out before ya know it!
