Coinnutty New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/26/2012 9:15 pm I saw the first episode and I was very upset at what I saw those jerks doing. They are going to Deface the hobby of Metal Detecting. What ever happened to the MD CODE OF ETHICS ? Blowing things up, only making MD'ing look like it's a profit hobby, just plain old disgusting. Metal Detecting needs to stay closer to the way Archaeologists dig up a site, carefully and leaving the land like it was when you arrived. I don't care if it's in the woods or in a park. The CODE OF ETHICS need to be taken seriously. That's why people are so hesitant to give us Metal Detectorists permission to to hunt. If you present the hobby from a historical perspective, then I have personally think landowners may be more lenient and less rude to us.

Some of those items need to be left in situ and have the archeologists take a look at. If they want to go dig coins up at an old farmstead, knock yourself out, but leave the historical relics to the experts. Report this Post to the Staff
w1a9c8k5 Pillar of the Community United States 1348 Posts	Posted 06/07/2012 10:29 pm Apparently they found a 1907 High Relief Double eagle. I am now kind of sceptical of the show. They found it in a old milk can with about 1500 pennies that were heavly damaged by mother nature. Yet when they pulled the 1907 of of the little baggey (it convently stayed in while going through katrina) its looked brand new and in MS condition. They later sold it to who seemed to be consignment shop owner for a little over $20k Report this Post to the Staff

CPC24 Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 06/20/2012 6:20 pm I just watched the season finale on my DVR, and I'm just appalled. The High Relief had to have been put in there to salt the penny hoard. Rick Savage wouldn't be part of anything fake: he was a wrestler, after all...

Sixthcents Valued Member Canada 135 Posts	Posted 07/18/2012 9:28 pm Yes, that show sucks, and I am very tolerate of "special" shows that relate to my hobbies. The other Diggers show is better, the one with the "Ringmaster" and "King George", although I have not found any since the first episodes. Report this Post to the Staff
