Dig Wars was a huge disappointment.
We just seem to keep arming the archaeologists and historically over-sensitive types with ammo to use against us in turning public opinion and vilifying us. This leads to more government regulation and fewer areas that we can hunt.
I don't care what the arkies think, but they are more powerful than us in forming the public perception of us, and this show just stokes their fire.
Don't get me wrong, Boom Baby was a disgrace, but this show was even worse than that. Boom Baby asked permission to hunt PRIVATE LANDS.
This show intimated that anyone can simply hop in a boat and motor on over to Fort St. Philip (declared a national historic landmark in 1960) and start filling their pockets with all the hi$tory they can haul out of there.
I am sure they had all the permits ect. but the show did not explain that.
To the causal observer, this show does make us look like a bunch of looting profiter's.
I had very high hopes for the show seeing that Ron is involved. His other show he did hunting in England was tastefully done with a focus on the historic Intrinsic Value of items discovered.
This show is a disgrace to our hobby.
