I genuinely watch almost no tv, it's usually just background while I'm doing other things...
I'm not a paranormal type but I love weird...
Was catching moments of Blind Frog Ranch on Discovery Episode 1...
It ended with them finding a Spanish Doubloon...
Nothing about the coin looked right to me lol!!!
I am now watching episode 2 :smiley:

    It was almost kinda interesting UNTIL they found that coin.

    I am out. No more wasting my time on that show.

    Funny, I thought the same thing - that was a bogus-looking coin...Low-tech country boys on a treasure hunt - what's not to like?

    Well, just Love coins, period.

    I will not even consider watching such shows... Oak Island was hunted for decades prior to the show, which really is nothing but scripted hype..... I have so many, much more interesting pursuits. Cheers, RickO

    Nice captures!!! I won't pretend to know ANYTHING about doubloons.
    It just struck me as wrong when I saw the moment they picked it up.
    Also in the second episode they mention the coin at the beginning but don't show it close up or washed off and then their "expert" doesn't say anything about it lol.

    In episode 2 they almost immediately started to try and make "skin-walkers" into a fully serious security situation...at that point it became even funnier for me...now I might have to see what's going to happen lol!

    And the end of episode 2 they went into showing yet another coin...a gold prospector dollar or something, I was half asleep lol...
    Can you get a beautiful screen capture of that one for us too @WillieBoyd2 ?

    The producers of this show screwed up badly.

    They should have "salted" the slice box with a huge gold nugget.

    I probably would have watched the second episode. Not now!

    They went too far on an unbelievable scale.

    Who remembers the run of storage locker shows? Some of the "players" on those shows have confessed it was rigged, and many lockers salted.

    The name of the show itself is a turnoff for me.

    LOLOLOL!!!!! They scratched off the word "copy"?! :smiley:
    Thanks @WillieBoyd2 !!! Well now I'm going to have to watch more...I instantly recognized it...etsy lol!!!!
    Looks like someone sat down and sanded it for a while or they got a slightly different copy, looks like copper or brass under there lol.
