I think "Diggers" is going to wind up being the nail in the detecting coffin. I was at the beach. This lady is in a competition they were having at the beach. Supposedly partially sponsored by the surfer chick who lost her arm to a shark. Well she comes up to me as she was waiting to run. Asks me about detecting, what I find, etc. Then the "Diggers" BS comes into the conversation. She says she tried watching it on television. It's the only exposure she's had as far as metal detecting is concerned. She says she couldn't watch it because of how crazy they act. Breaking tree limbs, rolling around, etc.
So I tell her those two nimrods aren't metal detectorists. We have a code of ethics we follow. And how they are hunting places we aren't even allowed to hunt legally. Told her she should see the bashing those two nuts take on metal detecting forums. We wouldn't roll around and tear limbs off of trees in parks, etc. She said "That's good to know!" Somebody care to slap KG and Ringy for me NAT GEO I got a hammer that will make you roll around
