Uncle Ron Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yo All ... OK, as I see it, here's my choices: Watch one more episode of "The Diggers" metal detecting show, or use rusty pliers to rip my beard out of my face, one clump at a time!!!!! ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoser John Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I lasted almost 5 minutes before profanity flowed and channel changed,what insipid mamby pamby garbage. Reminds me of a pair of 5 year olds doing silly crappola,talkn' baby talk,hootn' and a hollern',attempting to crawl into trees,throw themselves in mud puddles(last try) and generally act like a arse. .

Mike Furness Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hey guys ... It is entertainment TV ... MOST of the audience has no clue as to how we all do it. It is hyped a bit admittedly ... but it does get good ratings overall ... I watch it for the items that come out of the ground ... the shenanigans aside! These guys seem to love what they are doing and having a blast doing it ... what could be wrong with that? At least it isn't like the yahoos that went out door to door looking to BUY their way onto the property for a percentage of the LOOT!Mike F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Pan Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Y'all sayin' that detectorists don't act that way? Awwww, com'on now,..... really? After all, it IS a reality show. An' I was goin' to ask if anybody had a dictionary to translate the language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edheinrich Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I agree with Ron, I gave up on it last season. Tried to watch it just to see what they found but the acting was hard to take. We are obviously not the target audience.Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Au Seeker Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 They have an onsite Archaeologist type person to document anything they find while filming, she takes pictures, GPS cords., weights it, gets measurements, possibly identifying what it is and then tag it, bag it and file it away.http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/diggers/videos/oldest-coin/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explorer1 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I totally agree with John Hoser. Just to childish for me. At what point does it border a personality disorder. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I have watched it, but as someone said, to see their targets. Beau has much better videos, just not enough! I am preparing myself for when Patrick finds his first nugget w/ his minelab this fall. Jumping over cacti, climbing up and on the black beast (so he can get better internet service and spouting all kinds of verbage, none of us are accustomed to hear from his lips). It will be a sight to see, so to prepare, yes I occasionally watch Diggers. ;-) Shep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertsunburn Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'd sure like to hunt some of the spots they have hunted. Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugget Shooter Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Shep this is the year for sure and I'll get him (and you) back over here at LSD where there are no more nuggets, he will get one here for sure Least he knows we don't plant them after all this time or he would have had a couple, Patrick you are killing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 As I stated on another thread called Digging History.This will be my last defense of them. haha Posted 08 August 2013 - 06:38 PMI met the Diggers at the Minelab Detector Day in May in Santa Barbara. They are a couple of 'ordinary' guys from Montana who sent in a promo video and were granted a season and now another one. I asked them about their language and they ... kinda act out ... so that they keep the show and get paid for doing their hobby.In person they are a couple of good guys and on the show they seem silly but I'm still going to watch the new season.Mitchel Attached Thumbnails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
