Treasure hunting covers a wide spectrum are you talking the lone Detectorist or the type of people who get Backing via investors, The problem you are going to run into Is Detectorist and Treasure Hunters are being dogged by governments around the world because the media makes it look like every Beep of the machine is a gold coin and I am Afraid that's not how it works and the Odd item they do find they are victimized  by local Governments and the Media does not help by making it out to be more than what it is.

Take me for instance I invested over $16,000 over a 2 year period and spent weeks searching ground and finding iron soda cans bits of WWII bombs and A few modern Coins, It took me 5 years to find something of value IE a couple of hundred dollars and then you spend another 5 years doing the same, and then the media make it to be like we find gold or silver in every hole well that's just not true, TV documentaries make detectoists out to be grave robbers and thieves and that is also not fair or true, Yet Archaeologists  go digging up graves yet they get Awards and Knight Hoods, But most of all we inform them of possible historic site and when it is reported the media and the Arkies call us Amateur Archaeologist's well WE ARE NOT, We are just detectorist's out doing what we enjoy.

We are NOT Amateur Anything it takes us Bloody years of working reading and Learning how to use a certain type of machine and where that machine works best along with being the wrong machine for the Area and ground conditions. There is nothing Amateur about it,

Take your job for instance, once you have completed your college or uni that's it your a Pro, with Us the Learning Never stops and some members here have over 15,000 hours of Testing and searching under their belts some have 5 times that amount because they have been doing this for over 40 years and every time is different and you learn every time you go out, Metal Detecting must be the Longest Apprentiship in the world and they have the bloody nerve to call us Amateur's,

My advice to you is walk the walk, In other words Buy a Real Machine and learn it then you will have Real world Experience at it,  After all the bad press we get I think your expecting a bit much, Baring in mind we don't even know you and you are asking us to Lift up our Skirts and Bare All, The Media does nothing to promote this Hobby and yet who do the Arkie's call in and who do the Police call In when they need help, Us Amateur Archaeologists.

Weather you are a Major Production Company or Not is irrelevant all that means is a Bigger Kick in the Balls for us and as long as you get your story we get shafted either way,  I suggest if you want help you need to talk to the members more and be A little more Humane and not just write your list of Demands,

Go away and find some amateurs who know nothing, chase after Federal Reserve Notes, Confederate Gold and Yamashita treasures. That's where all the action is.

(That will get them looking,eh?)

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Theres is So much more About the people here, this hobby is not about Beep Beep Dig, There is understanding soil conditions, Machines and there usage Let alone knowing how to work out the Programs and how one setting influence's another
Then we have out Resident Experts Who Design and Build their Own Machines along with helping others to Repair their Machines, You Cant Buy That, Because a lot of that Knowledge was gained through Dedication and Or Military Service

That Brings us to the History side of things, Most members do enough research to keep a dozen students busy, This is all Funded by That Person and by the Sacrifices they have made, There are no Government Grants for us Unlike those for Archaeologists, In a recent Archaeology Dig, Archaeologist were found to have thrown away 95% of Treasure/Metal Artifact's from A site and a few years later Detectorists went back over the site to Find and recover over 90% of what was remaining, The sad part about that was the soil had been removed and used as land fill else where, That's the stupidity of the so called Professional Archaeologist's and that dig cost Millions to under Take,

When we find an artifact and a site we inform the museums and they take over and a lot of them throw copper and Brass washer's around the place to try and fool detectorists when it was the detectorists that found the site for them in the first place, Because their Jealousy is about them going to uni and getting government Grants They cant stand the fact that WE Find them first, And we Have Been Called Grave Robbers and Thieves By Such Programs As TIME TEAM and it is/was their Professors that HAVE AND DO Throw these Washers In the Ground Which then helps destroy Our Detecting Sites, Not that it does but it makes life very difficult just the same, How some second Rate Comedian and a bunch of OCD people can get away with this I am not sure because dumping rubbish in the ground is illegal But they Do.

This is the type of Treatment I have Personally seen From a well respected Program such as Time Team, They are Slanderous vindictive People, Who can not stand the Fact that WE Get off our Backsides and Prove History.

This is what YOU will get from a TV Company
