  • DIGGERS

DESCRIPTION

Hobbyist metal detectorists “King George” Wyant and his buddy Tim “The Ringmaster” Saylor explore the country looking for lost relics of history. Their enthusiasm is contagious, their humour quirky, and their vocabulary... one of a kind. “KG” and “Ringy” are kids at heart, driven not by money, but the thrill of not knowing what their next dig will unearth. They understand that every item has a story to tell, and Diggers brings history to life through graphics and historical context. They are invited by landowners, historians and archaeologists to go on a quest, and in their own way, a crusade, to unearth history that would have otherwise been forgotten.
