Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Miffed Arkies Due To 'Digger' and 'American Diggers'. Historic artifacts can bring in big bucks. Show likes 'Diggers' on the National Geographic channel or Spike TV's 'American Diggers' document the hunt for prized artifacts. But some archaeologists are standing up against these shows. They say the techniques used on the shows to dig up artifacts ends up destroying more history. They also feel these artifacts should be preserved, not dug up for profit. Friendly Metal Detecti...

Thursday, March 15, 2012. Diggers' Rubs MT Arkies the Wong Way. Montana's state archaeologist said a Montana duo of metal detector artifact hunters featured in a new National Geographic television program appear to have violated state law.

Jimmy's MD Blog: My CladCounter Program
http://sectshun8md.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-cladcounter-program.html
Sunday, September 5, 2010. Yesterday, I was pinched by a muse and found myself feeling like I was back in programming class in college. A member on one of the forums I frequent asked about a Clad Counting program that used to be available HERE. If you're interested, give it a go, it's 100% Freeware. You can get it by clicking HERE. I suggest you read the "readme.txt" included in the .zip file, it explains how the program works and how I recommend you set it up. Any questions about it? Cosmic MDing in TX.

Wednesday, March 7, 2012. MDing Damages Mammoth Sites? Yes folks, we've now heard it all. Apparently our machines now detect mammoth bones. not sure what they show up as on the VDI, but I'd bet it's somewhere just inside the BS range. Legislation that would allow people to use metal detectors in state parks and monuments has some concerned it could put historic sites at risk for damage. Posted by James M Lambert.

That may change if Senate Bill 105 makes its way through the legislature this session. On Tuesday, SB105 passed through the Senate Committee on Economic Development, Tourism and Labor to allow the use of metal detectors at state parks and monuments. Posted by James M Lambert. Have a...
