I'm not sure if there's anything more disturbing than a 350-lb. guy getting a boat ride into the swamp from a 425-lb. guy who insists on being called "Big Sexy."
Cue banjo music unsettling.

"You can never beat the river, Lewis" LOL! Don't know what this has to do with detecting but it is funny. Thanks Jeff. HH. Matt

It's from the Louisiana episode of A------n D-----s. The finds were uh, amazing. *Cough* Ahem.

If you guys need any more proof the finds are planted, what about the pistol he dug out of a privy (I think it was) and there was NO rust on it. It was in the dirt and not in that box he found. Or how about "calibrating" rototillers to find artifacts without hurting them? That's a neat trick. The constant conflicts with land owners is only going to get us denied access to private sites, and less wise newbies are going to be buying metal detectors left and right to strike it rich like they make it look so easy to do. I guess that will be good for us buying used detectors, though. Then there is the show opening that shows them shoveling up dirt with shovels and throwing the dirt about 10 feet away from the hole. The dirt being thrown all over the place does not teach very good hole repair ethics for this hobby.

Think I'm finally home after a lot of years searching for my particular needs. Custom 1.5 lb lighter Sovereign GT (easy to do by just "building" lighter shaft) & SEF 12x10 as everyday coil. 8" Tornado (actually 7.25") as super heavy trash coil (Very deep & separates better than typical 8/9" true size coils). 13" Ultimate for large fields/beaches on certain days I want to grid faster than even the 12x10's nice improvement over stock for that. Stock 10" Tornado stays on water rig (stock shaft). ProPointer. Owned 15x12 & SunRay S-5 (5.5") at one time. Loaned a prior 13" Ultimate & SunRay S-12 (12.5").

Some Oldest Silver- 1835 Bust Dime, 1842 "O" Seated Dime, 1855 Seated Quarter, 1858 3 Cent Piece, 1891 Seated Dime, & another Seated Quarter too damaged to read date. Highest Value- 3 Cent Piece, Seated Quarter, & now 1921 F-12 Standing Liberty. Oldest Coin? Got to give large cents a good look & see. 2013 so far- 1 Seated Quarter, 1 Barber Quarter, 1 Standing Liberty, 2 Washingtons, 1 Barber Dime, 9 Mercs, 3 Rosies. 1 War Nickel. 19 silvers in total, & 1 1872 key date Indian, 2 Bufallos, 1 man's 14K gold medium sized ring & 1 gold chain, with possibility of few 8"+ deep mystery coins being Indians after cleaning.

What matters in life is the journey and not the desitination. How you handle that journey determines if you were a success, not so much what you achieved if and when you finally get there, especially if you made it by stepping on people along the way...

In loving memory of my long haired (wooly) husky Sky. She taught me just how beautiful and pure a soul can be, human or not...

Why Critterhunter, I thought you knew better.

That gun was obviously "stainless" steel.

I mean, DUH!

No way they were digin a privy no broken glass, ash,rust old bricks never seen a pistol come out of a privy that good an ive dug alot of them.

No one needs proof that American Diggers is totally staged and totally fake, just like wrestling that jerky boy was part of at one time.
Well, maybe the people who watch studio wrestling and think it's the real deal need proof, but then again, with such people, no amount of proof would suffice.

What is funny is that that same fat guy was on the turtle man show and he wanted to be called that. Staged in my opinion.

Wow! That stinks!

I liked it when Bob "the best in the business" dug the soda/beer can and just flings it high into the air, over his shoulder.

I use to eat at Burger King once in awhile, but due to their sponsorship of this show, I'll just go to the next fast food joint now.

There isn't much on Spike TV that is real.
