A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Love the show...I started metal detecting in 1971 at the age of 14. Ringy and the King were using words that I can relate. They are down to earth,Sure they get a little crazy....so what. I felt the same way when I was pulling treasure out of the ground.... I still hunt at 60..Great hobby... great show....

Diggers is an excellent show!!! KG and Ringy are the most enthusiastic guys on TV! You have to love their passion and excitement! They are genuinely loving what they do and make it contagious for the audience!! Everyone I talk to about this show loves it!! We all crack up about how funny Tim and George are on the show!!It is refreshing to see a TV show that brings American history back to life which is not only interesting but educational for the whole family! Nice works Tim, George & Mark! Keep up the great work!!! You guys are growing your fan base!!Mark L. Annapolis, MD

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.

Firstly, this isn't like American Diggers or other TV-archaeology shows. Far less drama and suspense, their investigations and results are more casual and less intensive (essentially, more realistic for amateurs) than similar shows. The detailed history and trivia during their search keeps it interesting, though it would be nice to have more detail or visual reference to where specifically the guys are searching on a site, IMO they use some strategies and techniques that would help fill in the progression of an episode, were they explained in the narration.They don't find big-ticket items every time (rather rarely, like real life), but it remains solidly entertaining and intriguing if you've got an interest in history or archaeology/metal detecting, there's a little added drama (they freak out and tackle each other an awful lot, though) but comparatively little. The locations, history and significance of what they do and what they find is well-presented and has a solid depth of knowledge, and interviews with local experts in each show add a nice degree of depth/individuality to each location that's not commonly seen.That said, my only real issue is with the hosts, or more specifically the script (or sparseness thereof). I like watching the duo find interesting and/or valuable stuff, the guys are interesting, if slightly quirky characters with a good dynamic and enthusiastic about what's usually a slow process, but hearing "juice", "nectar" "roundness" "roundness/nectar in the hole, baby" (+definition blurb) and randomly slanged terms repeated haphazardly and almost ad nauseum every time they find or extract a cool item gets a little old.Your experience may vary if you're familiar with and/or enjoy the pseudo-terminology they use, but as someone who's not into the metal detecting hobby or scene (at least not yet, it does make me curious) the odd and very random terms get a little bit pointless and a little grating eventually, though not enough to kill the entertainment value of the show, and not enough to stop me from watching it quite yet. It's pretty good TV if you don't mind a random dash of silliness thrown in.
