several in a row and at this minute they are in Michigan's U.P. digging copper at Mass City, MI
They are having a marathon of this right now - always interesting shows..we just missed the one on finding diamonds but caught part of the emerald part of the show.

yep this is a good show. I try to catch the show whenever it is on. The lady (Kirsten Gumm?) is a real cut-up. BTW - I was interested in visiting the Crater Diamond Park in Arkansas - and thought - boy this would be a good place to do some detecting for coins. Got to be a better chance of finding old coins than actually finding a diamond.
E-mailed the park ranger to ask if detectors are allowed and the answer (sharp answer) was no way! Detecting apparently not allowed in any state parks. This one kind of angered me (don't know why exactly). I just don't understand why digging little holes in a place where people dig big ones all day long is such a great concern. O-well. Them's the breaks. Got to follow the rules - even when they seem ridiculous. Really enjoyed the segment on the MI copper.
