White's makes the history channel.
During the last 10 to 14 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity
to assist the National Park Service with archeological studies. To do
these we have been able to relic hunt on National Parks only.
Some of the sites that I participated in the digs were: Shiloh, Stones
River, and Battery Robinette in Corinth. The Southeast Archeological
Center and Chattanooga Area Relic and Historical Association have worked
on several sites in addition to these. I could only attend these digs
because of logistics.
Anyway, the History Channel heard about us and what we do. They
decided to make a documentary film on their series "The History Channel --
Battlefield Detectives -- Shiloh". We were all invited back to the Shiloh
area to meet with a bunch of folks from England, who were going to do the
film. There was one section of the film, where they wanted to film one
person digging a relic. They were looking around at all the different
detectors and picked the White's DXF of mine. There were plenty of the
T_______ and even the factory rep. with the F_____ brand there. But, the
director of the film, picked the DXF by appearance only. This didn't sit
very well with the F_____ guy, but "that's the breaks".
I was flattered to be on the TV show and have enjoyed my DXF
tremendously. I have recently purchased a new MXT and will soon purchase
another MXT for my two sons. There will be other stories in the future
about our hunts.
I hope this is appropriate. I will include a link to the website where
you can get a copy of the movie and a link to our club website. Both have
pictures and articles of our digs.
