And you have to share the value of the item with the person on whose land you found it...once there's a buyer.
I actually don’t find this objectionable. A find like this - with such historical value - should belong to England, not to an individual who happened upon it. How do you even put a price on it? It should go to a museum, not an auction house where it will end up in the private collection of some Russian oligarch.
I liked that too. She managed to keep her head, so maybe he did care a little. If think she kept the crown too.
Her refusal to accept an annulment gave rise to the Church of England.
“I wonder how many find treasures and then shut up about it.”
Yep, sell it on the black market or just melt it down for future post apocalyptic use. Bound to be a prepper or two in England.
“He didn’t find anything significant,. but the history was interesting”
Has he ever found anything??
But yeah, the object of the show, other than a paycheck for Gates, was getting people interested in history and archeology. Two subjects I’m fascinated with. Josh did get to some out of the way places and meet interesting people as well as introduce me to the benefits of LIDAR for archeology.
Wow. This is impressive!
You could try the backyard, instead of the couch. :P
A detectorist would be someone out in a field with a metal detector. A detective would have a trench coat and a film noir vibe about him.
So if Columbo used a metal detector he would be a detectivorist.
I think so. 🤔
Unless you are a Biden.
You’re a descendant of Henry VII?
he supposedly has a “Big Foot” cast that has made the news- and has evidently found a few things- though it coulda been staged- for ratings-
Well...
One is spelled "Detectorist"
And, one is spelled "Detective".
I just remembered, Gates found some gold coins while diving with a guy looking for old shipwrecks. I guess he has found a few things after all.
😜🤦♂️👍...................................
The way they carried on, crawling all over each other like a box of hamsters, maybe. :^)
Because the Tudors rose to power, a bunch of people wound up rising (and falling) in social status, and wound up in the relationships they were in, wound up being born in the first place, and those people are my ancestors.
Someone from the Tudor era could really have used a metal detector right after they lost it. :^)
Yep I remember that one. But, they could,be salting the areas to keep interest in his show going too, so I’m always a bit skeptical when they find stuff. Hard to know these days what is real and what isn’t because people are so desperate for views and likes that they will resort to anything.
The show bearing sea gold had two miners who “hated each ofher”, and who were in a bar one night for the show, and lo and behold one of the men charged the other one, with a glass in his hand, took a “swing at the toher fella” withmtha hand that held the drink, and you could clearly hear the cound of breaking glass.
Only problem for the show was that the “punch” wasn’t fast enough, and I caught a glimpse of the glass as he pulled his hand back down, and it was fully intact. I rewond the recording, and went frame by frame. The glass never touched the other fella, nor did it break.
I co fronted the show on their website forum about the show about the fact. They at first tried to deny it, I explained to the things i said above, and at that point they never wrote back on the forum about the incident. (And yes I’m that bored sometimes to do stuff like that lol)
The swamp gaotr hunter show is also full of fake scenes. Thye will show a large gator in water that is clearly deep and mud free and weed free, and then show the hunter “bravely diving in to retrieve his grappling hook” or whatever, and the water he dives into is chockerblock full of weeds, muddy brown, and not deep at all.
I’ve seen tryst show do things like that on a regular basis to hype the show.
There was one incident though where Troy Landry’s some bot impaled in the thigh by the large gator hook. There was no faking that. He hardly even flinched when it hapend or when the emergency nurses removed it. That boy is a tough dude. He was back hunting the next day.
I guess I’ve rambled on- uggh. Sorry
“I guess I’ve rambled on- uggh. Sorry”
I’ve done that a time or three, no problem.😇
Most of those shows they have to add a little excitement or they would be boring as hell. Troy Landry is Old School tough. I would address him as Sir or Swamp King or whatever he wanted.
