Private Notes
KG and Ringy are in Aspen, Colo., in search of a time tube containing the mouse from Steve Jobs' first mass-marketed Lisa computer. Buried during the now-defunct International Design Conference in Aspen (IDCA), the tube was intended to be unearthed in 2000, but due to changes in the landscape, its exact location was unknown - until now. The guys are able to narrow down the capsule's location and the contents are almost too good to be true - an 80's gold mine and a rare piece of Apple history!
The guys visit Pennsylvania, hunting for two forts from the Revolutionary War. They're here to find Rice's Fort, which could be the site of the last battle of the Revolutionary War. Legend says that soldiers melted pewter utensils as emergency ammunition, but no one has been able to prove these artifacts existed. Can the guys prove it to be true? First, they check out Wolff's Fort. Archaeologists have a rough idea of where it may have been, but they need the duo to pinpoint the exact location.
The guys are hunting the playgrounds of America's rich and famous at the mansions of Newport, R.I. They start at Swiss Village, which includes a building used by the British during the Revolutionary War and a horse stable used by the Kennedys. They dig up an unbelievable find -- a late 17th century coin all the way from Yemen -- an artifact never before found in the U.S.! Next, they visit Malbone Castle, a summer resort for the super-rich that included George Washington on its guest list.
KG and Ringy are on an old-fashioned gold hunt in the Black Hills of South Dakota, looking for the lost payroll chest of one of America's most famous generals: George Custer. Stories say that Custer, expecting an attack from the local Indians, buried his cavalry's payroll but was never able to retrieve it. Will they find Custer's lost gold?
KG and Ringy are searching for the greatest military nectar of their careers: a lost Nazi fighter plane that crash-landed in an Indiana cornfield. The boys are visiting the site of a once-secret Air Force base to locate the debris field of the crash and crack a decades-old mystery surrounding the missing plane's location. Finding an engine, wing or weapon from the plane would be the score of a lifetime -- and KG and Ringy are hot on the trail!
Maine was a fierce battleground in the Revolutionary and French and Indian Wars, and KG and Ringy are anxious to scour the land for "juice." They've been given exclusive access to Benedict Arnold's Revolutionary War headquarters and are excited to uncover nectar from this notorious traitor. Next, the guys receive a call that the former site of historic Fort Richmond is being paved over for a highway. With the help of a team of archaeologists, they get to work searching for artifacts.
The duo is headed to Fort McKinley, a turn-of-the-20th-century fort in Portland, Maine. Legend says a cannon barrel was buried here, and the guys set out to find it, starting at a parade ground where soldiers marched. The soldiers could've dropped items along the way and the guys are determined to find enough military buttons to decorate a jacket. Next, they head to the island's bunkers to see what weaponry is still in the ground, and find one of the biggest ammunition pockets of their careers.
KG and Ringy are in Georgia, following Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's legendary "March to the Sea" in search of priceless 19th century nectar, including a long-lost chest of Confederate gold. The boys visit three sites on the route from Atlanta to Savannah in hopes of finding a major Civil War score. Along the way they stop in Marietta, an important site for both the Union and Confederate armies. Here, the duo dig up an artifact they've been looking for their whole careers!
KG and Ringy are in Maryland, following the trail of America's most notorious assassin: John Wilkes Booth. They're looking for clues that he might have left behind. They're also hot on the trail of one of the biggest mysteries surrounding Lincoln's assassination: Booth was killed in a dramatic shootout and a diary was found on his body, but it was missing several pages. If KG and Ringy could find any of those pages, they would go down as two of the greatest metal detectorists of all time.
The duo is on a Wild West nectar quest in Deadwood, S.D., chasing a legend of buried treasure. Legend has it that local miners buried a cache of gold, but no one has ever found it -- KG and Ringy hope to put the treasure hunt to rest once and for all. Next, they set out on a quest to find artifacts from the frontier's most famous couple: Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. Will they fill their South Dakota nectar quota?
KG and Ringy are headed to the most wicked town in the Wild West: Dodge City, Kan. First, they hunt a busy junction point on the Santa Fe Trail. In its heyday the trail was teeming with activity 24/7 and the guys are hoping to score some juice dropped from the wagons that passed through. Next, they explore downtown Dodge City, which was once home to saloons, brothels and gunfights. It was also home to some of the West's most famous lawmen: Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson.
KG and Ringy have exclusive access to Rhode Island's Fort Adams. The U.S. Naval Academy relocated here for a brief period during the Civil War, and it was once the most heavily armed fort in America, so the guys are hunting for naval nectar that ties the fort to its academy days. How much Civil War nectar can the duo find in this massive fort?
The guys are called in by the mayor of Vicksburg, Miss., to retrieve artifacts along the route of a Civil War campaign by Ulysses S. Grant to siege the city.
The guys try their luck in Chicago as they investigate hideouts and homes that belonged to famous mobsters from the 1920s and 1930s. Included: Al Capone's hit man; Paul Ricca; Bugs Moran.
The guys search for Blackbeard's treasure, which is rumored to have been deposited along the Tar River in North Carolina.
The guys explore mines to look for artifacts that date back to the gold-rush era in the western U.S.
KG and Ringy are on a mission to discover two long-lost 1700s campsites where British General Edward Braddock died and George Washington became a hero. The Diggers are hot on the heels of Braddock's retreat, a legendary march of more than 2,000 soldiers following Braddock and Washington's crushing defeat in 1755 during the French and Indian War. Archaeologists have invited the boys to visit two sites to try to pinpoint exactly where the Army set up camp.
KG and Ringy are in northern California at the site of one of America's worst natural disasters: the great San Francisco earthquake. On the morning of April 18, 1906, the ground began to shake and chaos ensued. When all was said and done, many surrounding towns were reduced to mere skeletons of their former selves. Today, the boys dig deep beneath the modern-day metropolis for historical artifacts that tell the harrowing tale of America's deadliest earthquake.
KG and Ringy are in the Bluegrass State of Kentucky, searching for artifacts from two of the oldest bourbon distilleries in the country. First, they visit the Maker's Mark distillery in Loretto, which has been cranking out bourbon since 1805. Next, the guys head over to the Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort, located on a massive complex chock-full of historic nectar. Along the way, they're hunting for a lost case of Prohibition era liquor that could be worth a fortune.
KG and Ringy are on the United States-Mexico border, hot on the trail of the notorious revolutionary general Pancho Villa. They're looking for conclusive evidence that a present-day golf course was once the site of a face-off between Villa's men and the famous American Buffalo Soldiers. But before that, the duo heads to Tubac, where the Spanish battled the Apaches at the very first military garrison in Arizona. KG and Ringy's goal: to find a super rare Spanish colonial artifact.
