Synopsis

Hobbyist metal detectorists "King George" Wyant and his buddy Tim "The Ringmaster" Saylor travel the country looking for lost relics of history. They are invited by landowners, historians and archaeologists to go on a quest, and in their own way, a crusade, to unearth history that would have otherwise been forgotten.

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
poetlynn I enjoy this show for the artifacts they find. But sometimes I have to change channel. I can't stand seeing two grown men act like stupid drunk monkeys. All that screaming is so annoying, and not at all necessary. They need to grow up while they still have some viewer's. Screaming for the other one to come running over to see what they have found. That is very poor acting and also annoying. How many of those items have already been dug up then buried again to make it seem like they just found it. Items don't seem to be very crusted for so many years having been buried.
cinemamaster I hate media these days. Nearly every new song that comes out is either related to cheating on boyfriend or girlfriends, kids buy new phones then break them, like the ungrateful brats they are, or unintelligently review a video game or television series without knowing the one thing essential to writing reviews: getting your freaking facts right! Let me get to the point... I love Diggers but people don't agree with me. I understand... people are entitled to their own opinions. However, when it comes to the point where I see reviews using words like "retards" or "idiots" to describe the hosts, I realize that I grow up with such ignorance around me. Yes, the hosts jump and scream in excitement over the littlest things (like a button) but the cheesiness brings out to some good nostalgic moments people had as kids. Remember the time you found fools gold and mistaken it as the real deal? Diggers isn't just mindless bozos tugging a the ground for a score. No its a bit more than that. We are all getting older, their no hiding that fact, and diggers brings out a moment in our childhood to much simpler and less media influenced time. IGNORE the poorly written reviews and take this one into account. Watch Diggers and give it a shot.
dlatham-65966 Diggers is something that most folks will watch and a few will study for tips and suggestions. First I love the camera work. They take full advantage of their locations natural beauty..There is some good info for the metal detectorist. A little more explanation on "that sounds good" would really help those not so familiar with metal detectors. Energy and enthusiasm will got a long way and boy does Digger have it! After about 20 minutes it grates on you like listen to canned laughter. I have learned to turn it out and enjoy the digs and finds as best as I can. Please keep in mind that they have very sweet places to search and they only show a few digs per episode, in the real World you dig much more often. Diggers does a good job of promoting cooperation with land owners and basic metal detecting etiquette. Newbys just understand they are showing you the good stuff but they are digging caps/tabs/trash & foil too, you are not alone! Just watch Diggers and enjoy it for what it is.
ian959 I don't watch TV ordinarily but on a recent trip overseas I got a little bit hooked on the National Geographic Channel as they have some really cool, interesting and entertaining shows.Diggers is not one of them...On the plus side I guess the guys are VERY enthusiastic and they do visit some interesting locations.On the down side, the show is boringly monotonous and the endless 'Diggers jargon' soon grates like crazy as there is not much in their dictionary. How many times can a viewer possibly be expected to suffer phrases like 'I see round in the hole' in any 30 minute period, no matter how enthusiastically delivered? By the end of the first show I watched I was ready to smash the TV the next time I heard another one of the 'Diggers dictionary' phrases. The enthusiasm starts to grate too when the guys go off when they discover something 'awesome' - rolling on the ground, running through the forest or whatever. They remind me of 8 year old kids let loose from school for the first time in months... Oh and just about everything they seem to find is awesome. Hint: it usually isn't.This is a fine example of exactly why reality TV is killing the medium. Pure rubbish of the highest (or should that be lowest?) order.
