How To Deal With Haters...My Story

[@MrJackco10]

Dan don't worry we are all here for you

[@sad_boy_scientist]

Yes we are

[@Spiderbot127]

Extremely true we are

[@legomaster7982]

MrJackco10 Yeah, we are all here for you. i am always gonna support you

[@foxfox2861]

Absolutely, we love you videos. Hating is just jealously of your skills as a top rate KZbinr.

[@davoshowards9596]

MrJackco10 Dan! You can sue him for make false allegations ruining your career and Basis of your honor

[@MrMadoogan]

Dagum Mr Digger Dan. I didn't realize it was so hard to share a great hobby. I really love your channel and hope you keep doing what you do. You are the man and I look forward to all your videos. Thank you for entertaining me and me children.

[@MrMadoogan]

MrMadoogan If you want Let's metal detect the 15 acres of property I have available in USA Georgia. Let's find other areas we can detect. :)

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

good for you Dan, stood by you for the past 3+ years that we've known each other.

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

***** very good point! got any land? or shall we do the beach?

[@voilalala0305]

***** all you Haters need to stop cry like kid grov up Haters

[@Guttersnipe973]

Dan you and I are friends on Facebook and I am in a few groups with you and I think it's awesome that you don't care about haters and p.s I love your videos

[@rushted0276]

***** good on you they had no right to do that you you

[@willsmom111]

ArcturanMegadonkey Keep your head up Dan. I only watch 3 people on youtube, I'm talking ALL of youtube. Your awesome.

[@jorbunga]

I've been a subscriber for a few years now, and I find it sickening that someone would spread rumours about someone who is legitimate and professional. Dan is pretty much the definition of gentleman, he handles everything the way he's supposed to. Keep up the great work Dan!

[@WalcomS7]

Balls of steel to keep comments open on a video like this, Dan. I respect the ever-loving crap out of that.

[@Lugermonger35]

Deep Digger Dan could rally and army that would fight in defense of Deep Digger Dan. I don't know what else to say besides Deep Digger Dan is the man

[@BUSHCRAPPING]

is that meant to be impressive?

[@Lugermonger35]

why would you brag about that

[@historybrick2349]

Heck yeah!!!

[@Randomstuffs261]

All started by one loser that you even helped out in the first place by promoting his products. My heart goes out to you. These people are scum, a term I rarely use. I'm glad you're taking action against them. My friend won a defamation case over Facebook and the loser who was bullying him got a £2,700 fine. Since you own a business online you can sue for A LOT more as you can prove that they caused damage to your business. There's no way I'd have let him just apologise. I'd have taken that bully to court no doubts. Also, he's kind of an idiot too. Saying things like "he's a pedo" is blatantly defamation since there's no proof. He was just asking to be sued the stupid fool. I like how he said "the hatchet's buried" too. As if he's the one who gets the last say in things. I genuinely hope you sue that jerk and any metal detectorists out there - please boycott his products because of his lack of ethics. People like that should not get by on YOUR dollar. EDIT: As reminded by Garry, Dan is very handsome and sexy

[@Randomstuffs261]

Randomstuffs261 I really want to highlight that final point. Do not buy that man's products, buy something better and don't support someone so unethical! He tried to destroy someone's livelihood for NO reason. We have a reason to not provide him with one.

[@skeetabix36]

Randomstuffs261 Very well said

[@garrygemmell5676]

Randomstuffs261 Well said random , youtube and twitter are full of real creeps - the boring , pontificating, fat, old, baldy, pondlife fanny is obviously jealous. Compare him to DDD who like myself is handsome , full head of hair,slim, fit , healthy, good cook, suave and sophisticated, incredibly attractive to women...lol You get the drift !!!

[@allieROFL]

Agreed, very well said and Dan is a cutie :D

[@garrygemmell5676]

Hmm my girlfriend says ive just got a big gob - women eh!!! Luvv em really!! In Slovakia its not big feet its a big watch!!! Next time yer in Bratislava metal detecting the danube for french swords and gold Dan just make sure you are wearing a large Divers watch and tell them you like Chuck Norris and you will be in!! lol

[@DiggerDawn]

Thanks for the advice Dan, been having some troubles myself lately, and I am doing what you did and keeping copies of everything in a file and keeping myself to myself. I cant imagine how bad you felt while all this was going on and having to deal with it on your own. At the end of the day, haters will never outsmart someone with intelligence. Good on you I think you made an extremely smart decision on how you handled them. Hope lifes better for you now a days :-) atb DD

[@thekingofdiy]

This is a damn shame Dan. Im really sorry this happened. What's worse is i didn't know what he was actually doing to you... As I watched the video, I realized that he did the same thing to me. I wouldn't promote his products... it all began from there. Like you, I said nothing while he continued to talk about me in videos, comments, etc.. I don't even do metal detecting videos.. I do FISH TANK videos... He used to do them as well and seen me as the #1 aquarium channel to target.. much like you are the #1 detecting channel. This is NOT a one time thing for him.. it is his M.O. I have dealt with it for 4 years now. He has cooled off about me a bit, and now i see why.. he has gone after you. In his apology to me though, he made up a story that never actually happened that way... appearing to be the good guy making "honest mistakes". His "sorry" video means nothing... he continued on for over a year with me and I see no end to it. I applaud you for doing this!

[@thekingofdiy]

***** I am actually totally relieved to see this video in a weird way. I am glad that others will know what i have known for so long, yet have stayed silent about.

[@eduardgoertz8422]

Just as he said: "a sad lonely man. Left by his Family and his friends." Thats what this douchebag looks to me. A guy who does nothing but blaming other people for their work.

[@dhkenny2001]

***** You did a good thing Dan i am glad you stuck up for you're self see here in the states we can't do that crap if we get haters online there is no real legal thing we can do inless it is a threat on our lifes or what not

[@KGTropicals]

It's such a shame that these things happen. Bravo to you for the way you handled it and BRAVO to the 2 guys that did real apology videos! That's something you don't see to often these days!

[@garywilson-2e0apg93]

i've watched all your videos Dan and i can't see how they even came up with what was said and unsubscribed to the offender as soon as it all kicked off good on you Dan for standing up to the bullies.

[@bavarianrelichunter6908]

Hi Dan, bring them to court! You deserve better than that. As you allready stated 20 years ago something like this would not have been possible but this is your chance to put down a beacon in this social media world. Never missed a Video and I would really miss your: come on and get in! Good luck from Bavaria

[@piperlynne1]

You know you've made it big when you have web sites devoted to hating you. May the haters be eaten up by their own self hate.

[@stuartmac9960]

best comment here....

[@k.w.churchill4397]

piperlynne1 Well said, Piper, well said indeed!!!

[@AmericaTheEnslaved]

piperlynne1 they always do.

[@aarondeck1884]

+piperlynne1 couldn't have said it better myself

[@jameslawson7383]

Dan, I have been watching you for a couple of years, and I must say that you have a level of class that is hard to find in a lot of people. Your videos have always been entertaining, and informative. This guy is beneath you, and his video only proves it beyond a doubt. He made himself look stupid, while trying to act contrite about something he was not sorry at all about. You letting it go, only shows what kind of class act you are. I am proud to be a viewer of yours, and will continue to be so as long as you upload.

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Smart going Dan. Calmly collecting evidence and ignoring until the right time to expose. I'm fortunate to only have some type 1 haters, the ones who make nasty comments then go away. lol

[@GlobalDetectionAdventures]

JD's Variety Channel JD, I have been a watcher and subbed for quite a while. How you have haters I can not understand? Then again look at the position I was in up to 3 weeks ago... You and Dan have my full support. Dan was, and is an inspiration to me, He got me into these German fields and woods. You both really showed me the love for the hobby, and through his channel I found yours. I came out and admitted my failures as a friend to him. I admitted my involvement when I found all allegations were fake and manufactured to manipulate others into their line of thinking. I began looking into these allegations and found every single one to be completely fake. I had been duped, and had to tell Dan what had happened. So I wrote him, and then made the video you saw. I promise to never again allow this to happen to him, or you, or anyone for that matter. I just want to let the fun in metal detecting reign. nothing else. this is not a political battlefield, or a personal boxing ring. He and I have become friends again. For which I am overjoyed. Thank you for your great videos.

[@billclinton5556]

Hey, I love your videos! I have recently started detecting and watching more metal detecting channels, and I find it amazing how alot of them stick together to get through tough times.

[@xxxmissmuffinxxx]

Hay DJ I see your videos as well I I am going to have a go at metal detecting if it wasn't for you and Dan I wouldn't bother. Thank you for all of your videos.

[@billclinton5556]

paul short It was the same with me with the same people!

[@VonnCrit]

JD's Variety Channel I barely got away from a lawsuit from you...hehe using your material in my vid

[@etpeloquin]

Hey Dan, I am so sorry you've been through this. My son and I were speaking a couple days ago about why people do what they do against successful KZbinrs. He calls it being "butt hurt" which simply means they're jealous! They look at your success and they think they can do the same thing and are offended that you're successful and they're not! Keep doing what you do! I'm sorry you have to deal with haters. The anonymity of the internet, hiding behind a computer screen makes them feel very brave when they are in fact, small people. Every time I watch one of your videos, I SMILE! Your videos make me smile! I love your passion for what you do! Your excitement is infectious. I get the biggest kick every time you say "Come On, Get In!"

[@MhArizona]

This video, in my opinion, demonstrates the other half of why I'm a fan. The detecting is great. But it's your character and trueness to self that keeps me here. Love and respect all the way over in Mesa, AZ, U.S.!

[@christiandawsoncustoms7596]

It's ok Dan I'm with ya on this topic. Has happened to me multiple times and I'm sick of it. Got to stick up for yourself. Thank u for raising awareness :)

[@QuantumOverlord]

As a fairly casual viewer of your channel (I don't metal detect, I just like your videos) I hope it will console you to know that this is the 1st time I heard of this. Unfortunately people in the metal detecting circles may have been mislead, but I suspect a large part of your audience missed all this entirely. In any case it is not your reputation that has ended up damaged in the end. Love your videos, hoping for some more wild camping! Cheers, Q.

[@kaizersoze]

***** Exactly where I am at =(

[@allieROFL]

Same here. I feel so sad that Dan's had to deal with this crap.

[@Farostegui]

This is exactly how I feel. Dan, you've always seem like a truly kind and humble person. Please don't let this idiot slow you down and keep the videos coming!

[@stevengolfs]

My wife and I have been subscribers to your channel from the beginning. I could never understand why anyone would be a hater of yours, Dan. You've always given your viewers outstanding entertainment, as well educational videos showing historical European artifacts. And let's face it...there is everything to like about you! Thank you for all you do. Don't ever forget...your fans FAR OUTNUMBER your haters!

[@petre.w.487]

well done Dan mate. Just came across you today on a digging vid and then found this. Good on ya' for sticking up to those bullies, sharing and telling us how you did it.

[@Robert-dt8ur]

Dan, Don't let these haters get you down. We all know your a stand up guy! Love your videos you make them fun to watch! Keep them coming dude. We're all behind you brother, take care. Always faithful, ~Robert

[@cazza1643]

Hoping things have improved since the release of this video Dan. Thank you for posting the advice. So much cyber-bullying today. Keep up the great videos and your wonderful sense of humor. Bless.

[@philbeck5978]

Deep Digger Dan w

[@murkinstock]

Good job Dan! I love how you went about this. Very mature of you, on how you're giving them one last chance to make it "right" (lack of a better word) I've been enjoying your videos for the past year or more, and I can't wait for more to come.

[@thehooverboys]

I'm sorry it has come to this. It's so sad that "adults" act like this. Even my tiny channel has haters. None of this belongs in the community of diggers. Jealousy is an ugly bitter emotion. Keep your chin up.

[@masitaatisam3679]

dear Dan. i dont know you as a person before. just from your vids . wich where always honest and full of enthousiasm . told you this on several videos if i recall it right. you are a very good , sensitive , honest and smart man. 4 things lors of people want in a friend . there always will be bullies and haters. but please remember that without them the good ones are difficult to recognize. at this moment of time there are no average people anymore. you are a very brave man and no matter what , keep on making vids because your enthousiasm is contagious and i always want to go out in the fields when watching. dont let anybody change that mentality of you. cheers man.

[@michaelwilson8286]

I never heard of any of it (I'm glad for that). I am a true fan, always have been, always will be. You're the best! As you say, C'mon, get in!

[@martinherbert9649]

Dan a year half ago I was taken very ill my recovery has taken a while but has been helped along by people like you .you have brought me entertainment and hope .on behalf of my young children 5 8 16 years and myself i thankyou .

[@stephaniemccoy6562]

Sooooo happy you put those haters in their place.... Pure Jealousy..... Gggrrrrr... You make me laugh every day..!!!

[@stephaniemccoy6562]

Deep Digger Dan.......LOL..I speak the truth....Im sure I say that for many ppl

[@adrianabonitaaziz]

Stephanie McCoy Jealous people are the worse .. Just keep away from them.

[@jeremyholaday1969]

You're doing the correct thing Dan. Jealousy is an evil thing, and I'm sure that was the leading motivation for most of these people. Those that can't find success, unfortunately find comfort in trying to destroy someone who has. Hopefully they will all apologize and you can avoid a messy lawsuit. I have to say you have done a wonderful job of deleting their comments, because I have been watching your videos for about two years and I had no idea any of this was going on. Wish you the best.

[@WesLoneWolf]

Dan, your videos are the most entertaining videos ever. Whenever I want a smile or a laugh, I look at your channel. You make my day with your humor. I watch your cooking videos over and over, I loved the the hiking adventure, heck I like all your adventures. Your videos are funny, entertaining, interesting and informative. I hope you forget all the haters, and know you have 1 gillion more lovers of your channel.

[@rperron1471]

+Deep Digger Dan hey im my fathers son you have gained my interest in medal detecting and i hope that you can keep making videos for my entertainment you are amazing love your accent. You were the one that made me want to do this for a hoby thanks you are awesome

[@entertaininghandyman4171]

We love you dan

[@Tonicwine999]

We love you Dan, I hope you spend less time and effort with the haters and don't forget about your fans. We maybe quite aren't as active as the haters but we are here for you and we couldn't do without you on the internet. You are a legend. Great video.

Excellent video, Dan, as always. Thank you!

[@hardluckclub7271]

We all think a great deal of you dan! Thank you for standing up to bullys and not giving up, or quitting what you love doing. You are a great ambassador for the sport/ hobby of metal detecting. Please let the followers know if we can help in any way with anything. We are here to help you. Keep your head up dan!!!!!

[@penguinchick6563]

You are an absolute LEGEND!!! Don't let the haters get you down. My lunchtimes at work would not be the same without a Deep Digger Dan video. Keep it up!

[@beats2476]

I just discovered you. I'm so sorry people treat others badly because of jealousy and that they have no lives of their own. I'm so happy that I found you. My husband and I love to metal detect with our 10 year old grandson. It is always and adventure for us. God bless you. Trust me I believe in karma. I don't usually subscribe but I am with you. Hugs.

[@idkbacon]

+Deep Digger Dan You know what. Those Haters, F*** 'em. You make good, entertaining videos. I've been watching them since I found that grenade video Yesterday. These videos are making me think: "Hmmm... When I turn 20 or so and have enough money, maybe get a metal detector and see what I can find."

[@idkbacon]

+Deep Digger Dan The only thing that I think is a lie in your videos is that buried tank so far. The barrel seems too new/clean.

[@VonnCrit]

I'm sorry, Dan. Not going to email you, I'll just say it here. I am sorry I haven't watched enough of your vids recently ;P Remaining a fan! Greetings from the south VC/David

[@bradplayzz9262]

***** is cool

[@meatonbone6507]

Deep Digger Dan I feel sorry for you I love your vids

[@Rombosbos902]

Don't worry man just block out the haters

[@altavivo]

Dan we all know you are a good person and we love you. The haters are a very small part of the Deep Digger Dan world. I hope you can come to forgive that man, don't carry that anger in your heart, it is as poisonous as the words that hurt you. Lots of love from the U.S.

[@Rocco1401]

First hunting for treasure now hunting down the haters. Great job Dan!

[@bingus930]

Dan, I watched your videos off and on for the past three years. Recently I've been getting back into your videos and I've been reminded of how awesome you are! I own a metal detector, tried to get into it, and then discovered that it is illegal in most places in my state. I really love your videos! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@TechyOldMan]

I think that you have over 190,000 subscribers says it all!

[@andreabalderstone4272]

Hi Dan I am so sorry you have had to go through this. I can not believe that anyone would dislike you, as you come across as such a genuine and likeable person. I think we can put this down to one thing ‘Jealousy’!!! Hopefully they have left you alone since then? Those of us who love you and your channel far outweigh the idiots who have nothing better to do with their time than bully others on KZbin. They should be ashamed of themselves. Credit should definitely be given to the two men who gave you a video apology. The fact that you have 281K subscribers is testament to the fact that you are fully supported by your many fans❤️

[@skeetabix36]

These haters are so brave when there sitting behind their keyboards, there pathetic. Good on ya Dan for the way you dealt with these scumbags. Such a great video.

[@eduardgoertz8422]

skeetabix36 Yea if this guy in his jacket would sit there like a noone face to face with dan, i´m sure he could not say one word...

[@Wrecks22]

I've only started discovered your awesome videos within the last few months and I must say you sir have gained a loyal viewer . I can't possibly under what possesses people to do mean, hateful and downright rude things to others. Keep the videos coming DDD.

[@WhyNot196]

Oh wow. I used to watch Pondguru and didn't know he was talking about you. I love your videos Dan.

[@lion39]

Just found your channel through this video. Instantly subscribed! Thanks for showing everybody how to take a stand against the haters.

[@GlobalDetectionAdventures]

Unfortunately I was one of those duped into following the rumours and lies. I was not innocent, nor do I claim to be. I came forward to Dan a couple weeks ago, and told him what had happened, and apologised for every letter, syllable, paragraph, or vocalisation ever made against him based on these lies. I also apologised for helping the spread of these lies. Dan and I became close because of this. He and I patched things up, and now are friends again. I have had this video open on my browser now over an hour as I contemplated what to write and was the number 319 (or so) viewer. it now sits at 3718, and I still have not responded until now. How can I comment on a video, in which I took part in, even if things between he and I are completely cleared up and forgiven? How does it look if I don't comment? But things between Dan and I are cleared up, so I want to take the time instead to write every fan of DDD for my involvement. I want to apologise to each and every one of you. I am sorry for what I had hand in and will never, ever, do anything like it again. Lance of GDA

[@SargeF]

Global Detection Adventures Hi. My name is Samppa and I'm from Finland. As I only am one of Daniels many fans/supporters, I have no real part in this mess. Hell, I didn't even know about this until now. But I have noticed your actions and bravery. This is for you, Andy and Lance: We all know what you did was wrong. You helped to spread false rumors and lies about Dan. But we all know it. We all know it because you and Andy were brave enough to take a step and come clean. You confessed. And that takes a lot from most people. What you did was right and I think you know it yourself. You judged Dan too early and took a step to the false side, but after realizing it you did the right thing. The thing what everybody in this kind of situation should do but many find hard. Judging you by your actions I personally think you are brave, humble, helpful, right minded and kind hearted. In a nutshell: A good person. I might be completely irrelevant here, but as a person who can't stand others spreading false rumours and lies about somebody else, I want you to know that I have personally forgiven you. I believe that might not sound so relieving etc but I just wanted to tell you. I think that you're a great person. You should value that. You should be proud of yourself. To the rest of you potential repliers: This is a honest text. I'm not trying to gain any respect off of this. In fact, I don't even want to. I just thought these guys deserved it. The least I can do in my current situation is to show my support by subscribing to both of these guys. And I hope you do too. They deserve that support. I hope the best for all of you and thanks for reading ! ~Samppa Maunumaa from Finland :)

[@SargeF]

SgtFinlandia I dont know if andy will reach this but it's here haha

[@GlobalDetectionAdventures]

SgtFinlandia Thank you. To me it is not irrelevant. I will make sure Andy, a good friend of mine, sees and reads this. I wish you all the best.

[@willyc7873]

Hey, we all make mistakes.... we are human. The important thing is you realized your error and corrected it. If Dan has forgiven you there isn't much for the rest of us to say. Glad you two are now friends.

[@MrSenset]

Global Detection Adventures Sometimes all we can do in this life is apologize, do what we can to make it up to the wronged party, and learn from our mistakes. It sounds like you have done all of these things.

[@RLhole68]

Dan I have never understood why some people act the way they do, you have made many interesting and fun to watch videos. I hope all this passes quickly for you and that you are able to get back having and making the fun videos again.

[@EconomicJournalist]

You're a decent man Dan

[@happycebu]

Dan, I am very sorry that you had to go through this. It is sad how the Internet brings the worse out in people. I hope things have improved for you since last August.

[@jayengland265]

i never knew you had haters like that , what a bunch of silly people , i wish people looked at the facts before hating someone , DAN UR GREAT

[@GlobalDetectionAdventures]

jay england yes, I should have, instead of waiting so long to fact check everything told me. You are right. And Dan is great.

[@jayengland265]

.Global Detection Adventures i never knew what was going on untill "deepdiggerdan" put up this video , i just think everyone should be judged fairly on facts not fiction , im not mad at all the people who jumped on the anti dan bandwagon im sure they had been manipulate is some way shape or form on matters they never thought to look deeper into , just take dan for what he is , just a nice guy doing something he likes for the enjoyment of others.simple , wee need a #DAN.IS.GREAT

[@Tonicwine999]

jay england Me neither, I didn't think he was hate-able. I think its clear that its all jealousy driven hate.

[@MrRvbrown]

Wow! I not even a metal detector person (I do find it interesting), I'm a fishkeeper and I have seen his lame apology before! I'm am glad you have brought this to light and made a great video on how to deal with people like this Thumbs up to you! I had to sub to your channel after this, look forward to seeing your stuff!! PS Come on people we all know who this person is hurting more than one hobby!!

[@xyzzy1233]

Dan, I am sorry that you had to go through this! Its really sad when you consider these haters are small, miserable people who know it and have to live with themselves. Their only option is to try to make eveyone else as miserable as they are. I appreciate your long term patience and agree that there comes a time when you just have to stand up and say enough!

[@Jeansieguy]

Dan is indeed still the man! Get in!

[@swarfrat311]

Good for you!!!! I have never commented before, but I always click the "Like" button for all your videos. I really enjoy your videos. You have a lot of fun making them. I love your sense of humor more than anything, especially the names you come up with. I think "Shallow Shoveler Shane" is a classic! I also enjoy the metal detecting videos. (I even enjoy your cooking videos since you are a "professional" chef!) I think it's hard NOT to detect a battlefield. Who is to say that when you find some musket balls, that there wasn't a battle there in the 1700s? There's been battles all over the place! Please keep on doing what you are doing. You are not breaking any laws. If there was a "sacred" battlefield with lots of lives lost, it would seem to me that it would be barricaded to keep the public out. You do not detect any hallowed ground! You always get permission from a landowner before you detect his fields. You have no doubt saved lives by reporting unexploded ordinance to the authorities! You are doing nothing illegal. Sorry to go on like this. Good luck if you take anyone to court as I know you will come out on top. Thanks again for the great videos! Good luck to you and your family. Regards, Dave . . . from California

[@banesu1]

You have my respect!

[@radarplotextractor3168]

Awesome video Dan, not boring at all. My daughter wants to start a KZbin channel and I have great concern as to how she would react to constant hate. I personally thank you for this video and I will show it to her immediately. I'm sorry you are going through this, but take heart you are doing good by this.

[@ianbrookes6193]

Well, Dan, I'm shocked to hear about your 'sad' haters! How the hell they think your doing any harm with your funny,interesting and informative videos, they need their bloody head testing! It's obvious that you have jealous people out there and your only trying to make a living out of something you love! I'm shocked to hear you've blocked a thousand people, what sad people they must be! I've not watched your videos for a while but 'found' you by accident in 2012 and enjoyed your videos. I did enjoy your camping videos but couldn't believe you went in November in Scotland! Also I enjoyed your videos of Flamborough, Portsmouth and other history videos of Britain and Europe! Keep up the good work and hope you reach 250,000 sub's soon!

+Deep Digger Dan dude I think youre pretty sick these haters can go and fuck themselfs

[@ImranKhan-K11A17]

+Deep Digger Dan. pondguru lol Dan mate jealously is a hateful thing all haters and you owned them mate, well done Dan well Done.

[@darrylhart88]

Dan I'm sorry you had to go through this. Thanks for sharing your terrible story and thanks for the sound advice. I love your videos and I'll always watch and never be swayed by anyone.

[@shortar15]

50 vs almost 200k really.. I laugh at them for you, and the sad trolls don't have better things to do I guess. The thing that makes me laugh the hardest you don't claim to be the be all or the best or the only one ect type of thing you just enjoy detecting out and about with friends. You always mention the permission you and your friends get when out and about you show the scraps and trash you do find not only just the goodies. We love you Dan. Keep making the wonderful videos that over 98% of us seem to enjoy the detecting hunts as much as you do so COME ON GET IN!!!

[@TreScotts1Fan]

This is heartbreaking. So sorry for what you've been through. Hope it gets better for you. I hope people realize this is why people shouldn't recklessly hate and jump on bandwagons.

[@darenhardman1808]

Deep Digger Dan, well done on your last video. "How to deal with haters" it's a shame that you've had to post such a message and that there are people in this world hell bent on undermining others that provide good quality entertainment. Keep up the good work and I look forward in watching your new website expand as time goes on. Kind regards Daren H

[@Baron-Bagaten]

Totally shocked that this goes on within KZbin, I was under the impression all detectorist's were buddy's on here !. Thanks for making this video Dan, you must have been so upset over the last 18 months, yet you still made some great videos !, so thank you for sticking with KZbin and entertaining us. Bless You.

[@sgt.davideswigerusmc5113]

Heres to hopefully never having to go to court. It's sad you needed to do this and I can see the hurt but maybe now you can move onto bigger and better things. So anyway, move out, cover your six and take no prisoners. Semper Fi.

[@pamelaevans-schink8707]

I'm an relatively new sub and I love your interesting and witty videos. I don't even metal detect. Good for you for not lying down and taking it!

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

What kind of pathetic person would target poor Dan? I guess some people have different ways of coping with living in their parents basements.......or on the banks of a sewage runoff pond.

Hans S. sick burn

[@spran369]

Hans S. I agree with ya!

[@josso1]

yeah it's mad, I only just saw this, I think I wasn't subbed at this point yet. One thing I will say is that screenshots sadly are not evidence, I could edit some html and screenshot anything fabricated. in that sense it's best to keep things undeleted if you are going to go down the legal route. I'm actually ok with the wild west mentality of the internet, if I posted this using some sort of proxy chain or VPN for example chances are you'll never ever be able to do anything. that being said who the hell would pick on dan ffs

[@EricScheck]

Hi Dan! Fellow detector in the U.S. here. I love your vids! You have great advice, especially for newbies like myself. When I find an odd bit of metal, I find myself saying, "What is this? I don't know" mimicking how you say it. I also say, "Come on! Get in!!" whenever I find something like a coin or a bit of jewellery. You're an inspiration and I appreciate the time you've spent making these videos. Don't let the haters win, Dan. You'll always have people who hate what you do, who are jealous of your success. They're not worth your time. Keep the videos coming! You've got a fan for life! "Come on!!! Get innnn!!!"

[@tennesseedigger6766]

Wow, Good job!!!!! I personally enjoy your videos and always thought you did a great job... Whether detecting in Germany or Scotland or cooking in the kitchen.... Keep up the good work and piss on the haters.......😡😡😡

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Just stumbled across this video as I used to stumble across this channel after coincidentally finding the Scotland trip-videos in my suggestions and I have to say: Amen. Give them what they deserve.

[@gdog1373]

Dan, you're a class act.

[@PriceFamPrime]

My 8 year old son caught an episode of a metal-detecting show on the Discovery Channel and quickly became addicted. A search of KZbin brought us to your channel and we can't stop watching. Screw all the haters, you're the best and an inspiration to folk young and old alike. Thanks!

[@rjgvideos9996]

What jerk goes after a guy having fun metal detecting?

[@jutoa6458]

Yeah... Idk its pretty sad tbh

[@fnpbob]

Well done, Dan. Don't worry about the haters. Worry instead about your fans and keep the videos coming. Love the videos and the history your find. I am looking forward to your next find. Cheers.

[@phillmills4815]

hi Dan, don't i normally write comments in fact I don't normally write. I'm new to these metal detecting vids, Id just nodded off with TV on, n was woke up by some 1 ranting about sticking there Willy in a hole in a tree that was your 1st vid I watched, I did wonder wat the bloody hell was going on. but it's great to see a bit of comedy in an other wise not always exciting hobby. so yeah spot on pal I look forward to watching rest of your work past n upcoming.

[@kennyhole342]

+Deep Digger Dan hi Deep Digger Dan, i am so sorry to hear about your haters and i don't believe a word those haters say. if you feel sympathy or have respect type this in the comments #sympathyandrespect4DeepDiggerDan stand up for a friend or some one you know or respect

[@anthonypotts7709]

I've only been watching you a few months. Really enjoy! Be strong Dan, we're proud of you.

[@GMACF1]

Well done for doing this video Dan. I always watched his videos, seemed like a nice man but it wasn't until you went digging with Treasure Hunting Scotland that I spotted one of his comments about you which wasn't pleasant at all, he was saying your a waste of oxygen and also accused you of being an alcoholic, also said he wouldn't be watching any of Dave's videos anymore :-/. After seeing that, I've steered well clear of his videos, seemed very vindictive. Anyway Dan, keep up the great work, onwards and upwards :-)

[@anton1949]

Dan, You are a joy to watch. I cant imagine why anyone would attack you. Your plain honesty and delivery is why people watch you. Maybe they are just jealous of your success.

Good for you Dan. Stand up to this kind of trash. Never had anything to say but good about your videos, they are great. I greatly appreciate seeing then and the tips you give. My son and I both watch and use advice as it comes. Thanks again for your vids!

[@cachemole]

This metal detecting isn't just diggin' in the dirt kiddies. It's metal detecting WAR! Lmao! Don't mess with Dan he'll mess you up...SUCKA's!!!!!!

[@rict1]

Good on you Dan. I found your channel by accident when you made your first Geocaching video and have followed you on KZbin and Facebook since. I've never met you, but you seem like such a happy-go-lucky sort of person. Keep up the good work. All the best for the future.

[@DerekNaylor]

it had to be said dan now i remember when all this started and who started it are you going after those people to ?...i even remember the anti deep digger dan thing on facebook .i was expecting a few more videos from these people either defending what was said or saying sorry for all the lies

[@andrewwenzel3600]

***** Well done if you don't sort it out now, then it will just get worse because people will think of it as a false threat. Go on Dan!

[@DerekNaylor]

well lets see mate like you said in the video there is a lot more then just the three people that i have seen to date will be interesting the next few weeks to see what happens :)

[@dgb56bgd]

Hey Digger...unfortunately, this world will always be filled with haters. I don't know you personally. What I do know is that you make me laugh...in a GOOD way. We all need to laugh more. I am an American living in China...have been for 10+ years...and I don't speak much Chinese, so I watch a lot of KZbin. There's way to much gloom and doom and lying and useless/meaningless hating in life and on the tube. But you....YOU MAKE ME LAUGH while educating and entertaining me. Thank you for that!

[@cragzuk]

its pondguru. Ill be unsubbing from his channel after this. I saw his apology video but I didnt realise what a bully he was with you Dan, Suprised he acted like this and calling you a peado... shame on him.

[@rosealee1225]

Mr. Deep Digger Dan, I have just recently found your channel and I think you are a very funny man. !! The first video I watched was where you first started cooking, you had me laughing so hard I had tears running down my face. I am so sorry to hear the trouble you have had with these haters. Please don't let them get you down. I so admire you for the charity 365 you just finished. People gave what little they could afford. But you gave a year of your life!! God Bless you !!

[@TheMijman]

That is ridiculous, posting 5 videos immediately to flood your channel and to hide the apology video, all the same date. And turning off comments to people can't ask him about it. Then he carried on his videos as normal with no mention of it.

[@mikeprell2747]

Dan! I became aware of you and your work roughly two years ago. From the start I found you to be a very knowledgeable guy who not only enjoys this hobby, but is also willing to promote it through your videos. I know the difficulty in producing these programs, the shooting, editing . pre and post production. It ain't easy but it is great fun. I applaud you in the way that you've dealt with certain individuals who tried to "discredit" you. You've handled it well. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work, Sir!

[@djnormalnorman6590]

That ball headed twonk wants a kick up the dirt circle me and my gf love you dan

[@Walrus60]

Goodonya Dan, I sit and watch your videos with my wife and you are like a breath of fresh air in our lives. Sometimes you have to stand up and be counted. I just subscribed mate.

[@davidbrown-yx3gz]

I had no idea you where going through this Dan. i have watched every one of your videos since the paddock days and if i thought you where doing something wrong i would not watch your videos. I have never ever seen anything bad in your videos and will continue to enjoy everything you post to your very entertaining you tube channel . i wish you all the best in your future

[@wadey8255]

Don't listen to the haters all that matters is that you have fun what your doing, these people don't even have the guts to make there own video and if you just keep doing what your doing coz everybody like me who enjoys your videos knows that your the best at what you do. I love you for being so careless and hilarious, finding very special things, and not stopping even when horrible people are doing things like this to you and I just want you to know I will stand by you no matter what lies the people make about. DON'T STOP WE ALL LOVE YOU

[@trashyharry]

Your detecting vids are the best on the internets! I'm addicted to your cheerfulness,honestly-Come on! GET IN!

[@TalshiarJapan]

Inspiring reaction to all bullies out there - no matter what form they take. Well done, and gutsy, Dan. Will remain a fan like I have done since you started!
