I like that show.
I do as well. If for no other reason than to hear the occasional “HOLY SHAMOLIE!!”. I get a kick out of that!
I like it too. They have dug up an incredible amount of history going back to the 1400’s.
The various levels of advanced technologies used to study the finds is very educational.
The advancement of excavation equipment has evolved during this program.
I suspect a lot of the people denigrating the program didn’t care for science or history classes either.
I admit I fast forward through parts I find boring or non-essential (no relation to government defined essential)
Same here.
Don’t know why I watch it, the show is so heavily produced and it’s funny how they have the same clean clothes on from week to week.
Me, too. I've been watching it since the first season.
The most interesting discovery they made this season was the Loonie that one of the brothers dropped into one hole, and a year later they found it in another hole 15 feet away.
The implication is that, as this article points out, the underground geology of the island is extremely unstable.
The drilling company decided to stop when they found they were probably sitting on a large underground cavern and didn't want to risk a cave-in and lose their rig.
We'll see next season if the team decides to proceed with the 'big dig,' a 100-foot wide, 200-foot deep hole.
