check this out "Diggers"

[khouse]

Good thing they don't have Minelabs! Can you imagine their holes on a 10+ inch coin!!!!

 

[jmaryt]

what frightens me is the apathetic way they open the ground!
this is tantamount to being idiotic on a grand scale,and such behavior
WILL reflect on all of us!..just sayn'

A positive is that by summer time this year we will all have the detectors of our dreams!

FOLLOW MY TIMELINE:

Noobies and fad-followers will watch Diggers....
They will go out and buy metal detectors sure to find The Holy Grail and a buried gold chest...
They will buy the detector to their hobby's spending level (F2's to V3i's)...
Manufacturers and dealers will reap the windfall...
Manufacturers will spend more on better tech, more R&D, better materials, etc...
They will go out a few times and finally realize it takes patience, skill, and knowing your machine...
They will quit out of frustration because it 'was not that easy'...
Ebay will be filled with detectors for pennies on the dollars hoping to recoup some of their investment...
We, the real detectorists, will be the winners in the end...

That's just my 2-cents from 15+ years in the marketing/sales/and business management field...

One thing that I did like that they did on Diggers last night.
They actually did, multiple times say 'we were invites', 'we got permission', and the message at the end warning people TO get permission and follow laws...

The acting was bad tho...LOL

Go to the Nat Geo website and leave your opinions there. I'm totally bummed about this show. How can two guys who claim to love history carry on like a couple nut-jobs. I'm thinking the producers have these guys believing they're the next Gold Rush... I am hoping they take the time to cruise the forums and see what the vibe is. I totally agree with previous posters who asked where the lingo came from. Jibberish, garbage and hog-wash. Please, please, please do all of your fellow hobby enthusiast a favor and act like you have some sense and respect.

Your all right it, gives all us Hobbyist a bad name who like to dress up in woman's clothes with Viking horns and ride off docks on bicycles.That was totally the wrong color of dress to wear and not a professional dock bicycle at least the viking horns floated correctly after going in the water.The real crime was that show was the best I could find to watch last night with my 100 month satellite bill.I an sending a letter right now to PETA for torturing a wounded jelly fish, do you realize what is on a human tongue at any second has on it,the bacteria, total torture,I could hardly stand to watch.I looked at the titles to grab every ones on this Etrac Forum posts now there is some real lingo ,and a lot of it, did not see juice,roundie, but I have seen use the colonial phrase a couple of times.If I remember correctly, there are a few utube video,s that are pretty close to what I watched last night,of course different people and not so many commercials,maybe they can shut down show for copy right infringement.I am looking forward to the next show it was something new.Beats watching House Wife's of some reject City that my wife wanted to watch.

I'd rather watch zaqqaz22 on tooyube. "that's a bloody, f***in riippaaa!!!"

They are a pair of f-ing a-holes trying to act like the two guys that do the "American Pickers" show on History. Only those 2 guys on Pickers have way more class and style...
What douchebags. We try so hard to keep this hobby legitimate and they destroy that hard earned goodwill in an instant.
Shame on Nat Geo.

Now my buddy Chicago Ron has got a real deal quality show coming up on Nat Geo on March 20 at 8pm EST about metal detecting in UK at the Thames River. I suggest we watch that one.

PS - The other show coming on Spike "American Digger" is going to be a nightmare too.

Well, it's good to see I'm in the majority. These two are idiots! If it was so damaging to our hobby I would have laughed at their stupidity.
