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?

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?
