Not sure if anyone has posted this but the Diggers will be in Peshtigo WI detecting sites from the 1871 Peshtigo forest fire. This is from the Peshtigo Times newspaper site:
“Diggers” TV Show Is Coming To Peshtigo
Mayor Cathi Malke had a happy announcement for Peshtigo City Council at its meeting on Tuesday, May 6. The city, with its Peshtigo Fire history, will be the site for an episode or episodes of the “Diggers “ TV show to be aired nationwide on the National Geographic television channel.
“This is going to make the City of Peshtigo a destination!” she declared.
Malke said the show’s producers had called her on Monday, April 28 to ask her to help make arrangements and identify local people who can identify spots the searchers with metal detectors can seek treasures from the past.
She said there are many good possible sites on public and private property in the city. Because of the difficulties in getting DNR permission for digging on county or state property she feels they will focus on city and privately owned land. Council, by unanimous vote, approved a motion stating the “Digger” searchers are welcome on city property.
Malke said the TV crew of 10 to 12 people, including an archaeologist, will stay in the city for seven to eight days, searching, digging and filming. She asked if they would be willing to participate in some sort of community event, perhaps a picnic, and they are. Plans will be made when dates are known.
The Diggers show airs on the National Geographic Channel on Friday nights, generally at 9 p.m., but occasionally with several episodes on a single evening.

Cant be that hard to find out if they're making this big of a spectacle out of it.
