Was that tonight I could not see the emblem to know what it all said?

spot on Paul.

Totally agree, Thanks Dahlgren and Mr Paul for seeing the positive !

It's an angry bunch on here lately.


I always get a kick out of seeing local stuff, let alone trapping related on something like that.

LOL,,same here.Their not going to find treasure any more than them Bigfoot guys are going to catch one of those.Glad hes gonna wear a Trapper hat though.

We tape the show every week and yes we joke about never finding the treasure but I find many aspects of the show interesting. The artifacts being found and dated is interesting the building of the new shaft they are building is some great work. We are looking for answers to many questions not related to the treasure itself. Being a history buff there’s a lot for me to see.

If you ever lived in the UP you will pick up on the shape of it pretty quickly when you see it and yes I look for anything MI related mostly because of the distance between the 2 locations and having lived there.

I find it odd that 110 feet above ground seems like nothing but it seems like a lot underground and it’s a place I will never go willing underground it’s not my thing. Some folks are skeptical of reality TV that’s from past histories of other shows the show has way less drama than other shows.

I think the most interesting part of the show is Gary and his metal detecting. He does sometimes find some interesting artifacts. For me, that's about all that keeps the show interesting.

well, he had the trappers hat on in the last 15 minutes of the show, the science in dating the wood and the gold and silver in the water, plus the stonework, keeps me watching, I'm a history guy!

After 11 years, its getting a bit much. I only hope they do realize some historical things.

The different coins that are found are interesting. But I have a theory about those also.

Please hurry and find something significant, their boring me crazy!

I still watch the show. It ignites feelings I have had since I was a kid reading the same Readers Digest article that Rick did. I remember thinking "I bet I could find that!"

I have always been interested in treasure hunting. That interest still drives me to always keeping my eyes open for the unusual. That drive has taken me on a wild ride of a life. Have never really found what some would define as treasure but my memories of my adventures are treasure enough for me.

One high point of my life was participating in a dig on Chugachik Island in Kachemak Bay Alaska. It was a 2000 year old Aleut hunting site. Somehow I got hooked up in the dig which was done by the University of Alaska-Fairbanks by Bill and Karen Workman. Made some exceptional finds.

Lots of "What ifs..." and "Just maybes..." have added a lot of living to my life.

It amazes me how people knock the show saying they couldn’t have dug that deep with no tools. Man has been digging tunnels for thousands of years and did so with stone tools.

Well said Moose. Are you going to be at the gun show this weekend?

Yep!

Moosetrot

My guess is considering the $ they are making it would be plausible that their " finds" are planted

Hey Moose
Did you check out the one show where the guy was a astronaut orbiting earth and was supposed to be looking at russian sites as he went by or some such war type thing through the scope but as he was buzzing by over the ocean water he marked a personal map with other things he saw surmising they must be ship wrecks. Then he died and his kid inherited his maps and his treasure hunting was him finding these ship wrecks and their haul. i.e. gold coins. Im not sure if it came out to be totally false or what but it was interesting none the less.

p.s. - I hope the trapper hat was a good one. I don't see that show around anymore on my channels.

Ohio Boy-I did not see nor hear of that one. If you could get some specifics on it I might try to dig it up.

It was on Discovery and called "Coopers Treasure". Looks like that second link even takes you to an episode.

Thanks, OhioBoy! I am getting ready to head out to a gun show for the weekend but when I get back I am going to watch for sure. Love that kind of stuff.

This show is a hoax / joke. Any REAL treasure hunter would know this within minutes. These guys are nothing more than "adventurers and investors" into a TV show for ratings etc. How many of you trappers knew that Johnny Thorpe was a TH'er? . . . ever here of any of his finds? No. The REAL TH'er's will never post or talk about their finds or searches unless they're fools or there are tragedies involved that the media discovers.

Awesome
