Good observation, Reed. The girl (apparently a wannabe actress) wasn't supposed to be in the video, or even known to be with the film crew until they showed up "on Location" to do the filming. Pete's, reluctance in the video to allowing her to be there is real. This was the director's idea which won out to avoid conflict and get things rolling. The film crew had been contracted for the shoot, and they were fired afterward.
When you are filming in a remote location 50 miles from the hotel room with a film crew that stays up all night drinking and without sleep and late starts, a lot of things can go wrong, and it did.
It was an expensive lesson for Pete, who is presently working 16 hour days to make enough money to finance a another trip out West. Pete's dream and determination to be an independent producer of Reality Documentaries is just as real as our own to be successful Treasure Hunters without having the benefit of any financial backing. It ain't easy my friend. Our audience does not realize the personal sacrifices that are made so that others may see and enjoy the fruits of our works.
Back home, in a salvage attempt, Pete, had the raw footage edited to the format you saw. He made do with what he had.
There is an important message in Pete's video. In a daring and bold move Pete, defied the Bureaucracy of a State that has laws, with strong penalties against any digging whatsoever for Artifacts on State,or private property. He trespassed on Private property to get the footage and leave a message of defiance to the unjust bureaucratic law of the State, leaving a shovel as evidence, and posting the exact GPS coordinates of the excavation site.
The message may have been missed by the distraction and entertainment value of a young lady with beautiful cleavage but there is no criticism from me. Pete, took a costly situation and made it entertaining. After all, it is a reality show. Enjoy!
Thank you for your critique. It is helpful, and appreciated. Dell
