Diggers is a reality television show on National Geographic that premiered in 2012. The show is co-hosted by metal detecting enthusiasts Tim Saylor and George Wyant, and follows the two as they travel the country in search of buried treasures and historical artifacts.

Each episode of Diggers sees Tim and George visiting a different location, whether it be a historic battlefield, an old ghost town, or a well-known landmark. Armed with their metal detectors and a wealth of historical knowledge, the hosts set out to find unique and valuable artifacts that tell the story of America's past.

Accompanying Tim and George on their treasure hunts is show producer Marc Henshaw, who helps to document their finds and keep the show on track. Together, the trio embarks on a new adventure each week, taking viewers along for the ride as they uncover hidden gems and fascinating pieces of history.

One of the defining features of Diggers is its focus on education and historical research. Rather than simply searching for lost treasure, the hosts take the time to study the history and background of each location they visit, using their finds to tell a richer story about America's past.

Throughout the series, Tim and George have uncovered a wide range of artifacts, from Civil War and Revolutionary War-era relics to gold coins, antique silverware, and other valuable finds. Along the way, they have also encountered a variety of interesting characters, from local historians to fellow treasure hunters, all of whom have added to the show's colorful and engaging narrative.

Despite its educational and historical focus, Diggers is also an entertaining and enjoyable show to watch. Tim and George's infectious enthusiasm for their hobby is matched only by their sense of humor and camaraderie, making for a fun and engaging viewing experience.

Overall, Diggers is a unique and engaging show that combines the thrill of treasure hunting with a genuine love for history and education. With its likeable hosts, fascinating finds, and rich storytelling, it is a must-watch for anyone interested in America's past and the people who shaped it.

Diggers is a series that ran for 4 seasons (66 episodes) between January 1, 2013 and on National Geographic
