<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 2336721, member: 34720&quot;]Whether you&#039;re a fan of the show or not, the story line is really what keeps bringing people back.</p><p><br /></p><p>What child doesn&#039;t imagine finding buried pirates treasure? What metal detectorist doesn&#039;t dream of finding that &#039;big score&#039;?</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people in this thread have stated amazement about how popular this thread truly is. I, for one, am not really amazed at its popularity. I think this show simply plays into that child that we all have inside of us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now... I&#039;ve watched all the episodes of each season. I will, no doubt, be watching tonight&#039;s season finale. I will admit that I am, in fact, addicted.</p><p><br /></p><p>I must say, however... As a fan.. There are a few things that have really begun to bug me about the show.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Evidence. This word keeps coming up again and again. The 90 foot stone, for example, is stated as &#039;evidence&#039;. The bit of gold chain that was brought up from drilling is also stated as evidence. Sadly, every thing that is used as &#039;evidence&#039; has either gone missing, or its whereabouts is unknown. I&#039;m bugged by this. How can it be &#039;evidence&#039; of proof? We don&#039;t know for sure that it really even existed in the first place!</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Pace of the show. It&#039;s really really getting a bit over drawn. The announcer guy continues to repeat the same facts over and over again to build anticipation and drama. If I hear one more &quot;A coin? On Oak Island?&quot; in his drawn out expression.. ugh. Speed up the damn show. Edit out the crap. Make it a half hour show. I now have to DVR the show to watch it. I can&#039;t watch it live anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Dig.. Just dig... Please... Just dig. Seriously.... You&#039;ve located where the original money pit is... You&#039;ve done core samples... Just dig the damn thing. The amount of money you&#039;re spending on cores, divers, experts, etc.. is ridiculous. Just dig the darn thing already and get it over with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than that.. I&#039;ll have my bag of popcorn ready for tonight![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
