Hiya StampHick, et al.
Busy, busy, busy thats the problem. Plus the new house with issues like -- no lights in the bathroom (now fixed).
As for the "Moonshiners" show -- HOW do they not get arrested?? For that matter, how do those people with the reality show about polygamy stay out of jail? I suspect its all faked.
Now a good new show is "Diggers" !! Its about guys who metal detect. Such a reality show was tried before with Randy Savage (an obnoxious large, round, ex WWF wrestler), called "American diggers" . It never failed that on EVERY episode of that show they'd find stunning things...a Brasher doubloon, ...Napoleon's cuff links.....something. All of it so utterly bogus to the point of being an insulting comedy act (which sort of sums up a pro wrestler's "career") .
Now the "diggers" show has its issues too. The stars are long time metal detector guru's, one of which at least worked for the Garrett detector company in sales/marketing (not disclosed on the show). Additionally, they get to dig with permission in the sort of historical places were I to even ponder doing so, ...I'd be sitting in the back of a squad car moments later. (so yeah, the odds they'll find stuff is high). Yet when they do locate something, they'll "dig it live"...pulling things out of the hole in dirt clods to be broken up revealing the prize. Pretty much, thats how it really is, a part science, with a large component of experience by the seeker (i.e. -what am I hearing down there?) coming into play.
One disclaimer. When these guys find something, they hoot and squeal like little girls, usually running into each others arms for effect. Twice i'v assured Mrs Briguy, that when my friends and I are out hunting the forest, and someone scores a Mercury dime....no...we do NOT immediately perform an excited giggling gay embrace. (you have to find at least a silver half dollar for that) I suspect watching other people dig tiny holes for dirty coins, was a hard sell to reality TV producers, so goofy on screen persona was required.
Digger's is on the Nat geo channel.
I'll stop by more often, and apologies to anyone's posts to me I missed
