Well other than just pure entertainment , i fail to see any benefit to the hobby this show makes....Originally Posted by Dick Stout link=topic=13539.msg143144#msg143144 date=1371137759
I am more disappointed because it was said to be a different kind of detecting show but I didn't see it . There seemed to be a lot of emphasis on value of things or money worth of items like the other shows . Lets take our finds to the appraiser similar to another show , some cheap antics or pranks again like another show. I was even told by one of the crew members that this is real metal detecting sorry if you don't like real detecting , well i'm sorry but real metal detecting isn't finding a great , very valuable or even historical item every episode we go out . I understand you have to make the show entertaining and its sole purpose it to make money period. I can't answer for you all but i don't grab my detector an say to myself lets see how much money i can make today. These shows all hurt the hobby more then help and all of us will be scrutinized by the actions of these few , my greatest concern is just hoping the property owner hasn't seen any of these shows to have any preconceived thoughts about me or what i want to do on their property when i knock on his or her door to ask for permission. I think ChigagoRon is a great face an ambassador for the hobby and think he has done some really good positive shows and videos but believe he has lowered himself for this one and to me lost a bit of credibility for it , but everyone can make a mistake or two and i hope his next project he has more control over .
