By the way,don't anyone be surprised if they find a bone filled with Masonic crosses and ancient coins.[8|]

I am watching the show now.They found a car part with a bag of coins in it,and a cross thats 5000 years old.
This show is sick! I dub it the worst show OF ALL TIME. It is so fake its sickening.

They also dug a 5 million year old whale tooth,in 10 minutes none the less. wow is all i can say. There are no words how much I hate this guy. I would like to punch him in his fat head.

All these show suck. All are staged and couldnt be no further from reality. Take these idiots first. Everything they dig is like six inches under ground...seriously..They go to ALASKA! the last American frontier....Its like 2 degrees and Haystracks Calhoun walks around in a denim jacket with a metal detector for 30 minutes and just by chance finds some scrap iron. The antique dealer is standing there...just by chance and is waiting for him like he was waiting for a bus to come by....low and behold he gets what...$6,500 ?

Take American Nose Pickers......they are driving down some country road.... going "freestyle"... they pull up in the driveway and the camera shows them pulling in...huh? the camera was already set up to record them pulling in their van? SO what they are telling us the camera crew sneaks in while the owner isnt looking to capture the moment? Every single episode they hit major pay dirt....really? We as bottle diggers know if it was that easy.....everyone would be doing it. Same as the storage locker shows....every show they find thousands of dollars.....and they act so surprised.....

Lastly....Porn Stars, This show advertises in the Las Vegas papers for people who have items to sell and who may want to be on the show. They have people come on there and sell stuff that would bring quadruple the price if sold at auction. These shows are more comedy then reality. For me I will stick with my all time favorite..... Antiques Roadshow. Sure it hasnt helped the antique dealer or us diggers in some ways but atleast you get real people and real artifacts. Sometimes the values are not spot on...but thats ok.....it is only worth what someone will pay you right?


Well said John. AMEN!!! Bunch of fake crap! I still remember the show where they were there "for the first time." Cameras recorded from inside as they knocked on the door. LOL One time the editor must have been asleep, they portrayed it to be a first time visit...then the owner says "When you were here the other day..." Low budget=low quality. The average dumb dumbs love it! So sad.

Also agree with Matt and Rickster among others.

They found some kind of gun barrel i guess. Called it a Kentucky long rifle. I just liked that after they found it the show went to a bunch of too-close-close-ups of an actual gun and not the rusty hunk of metal they dug up. Later they go sell it to some guy... he liked the engraving on the rifle barrel, but to these eyes for the less than 1 second they had the camera on the engraving all i saw was rust and a screw.

The fake price negotiating was fun to watch.
The guy yelling is killing me.

The show last night was just insulting to anyone who owns a brain.
They dug a beat up whale vertabrae and the wrestler dude screams PROFIT! that's a $1K item. I have found dozens of these in much better shape and the last one I put on ebay sold for $25. I have given away a bunch of them. The beat up megladon tooth he found would be lucky to bring $20 (its very doubtful they really found any itens there except the small sharks teeth). And they want you to beleive someone paid $3500 for the lot?

Talking about teeth,I got a tooth he might be interested in. It is a rare Sickrick caper. My cap fell out,yesterday maybe I could get 3k for it?? Then I can buy a Gold one!!![8D]

If you freezeframe and slowmo the intro to the show, you can see him holding a "fresh dug" teal John Ryan. Can't wait to see what he says about it....something along the lines of......"this bottle is the only known one in existence. Must be $8,000. CHA-CHING!!!!!"
