Savage Family Diggers was a reality TV show that aired on Spike TV in 2011. The show followed the adventures of the Savage family as they traveled across the United States in search of historical artifacts and treasures. The cast was led by Giuseppe Savage, known as "The Digging Machine," who was an expert in detecting metal objects with his metal detector. He was joined by his siblings Ric and Rita Savage, who provided assistance in their family treasure hunting expeditions.

Throughout the show, the Savage family would visit different locations and dig up buried items that were several decades old. These ranged from historical artifacts like coins, bullets, and buttons from the American Civil War era to precious gems and gold nuggets.

The show was not just about discovering treasures, but also about the history behind them. The Savage family would often consult with industry experts and historians to learn more about the items they found and their significance in history.

The family would also showcase their antique collection and its value. The show offered an insight into the world of treasure hunters, those who were history enthusiasts, and had a knack for finding new treasures.

The show primarily used handheld cameras, and the unscripted, organic nature of camera work made it feel like a real treasure hunting experience. Along with this, the aesthetics of the show were well done, adding an adventurous spark to the entire experience.

Giuseppe Savage was undoubtedly the star of the show with his quick wit, and he would often engage in humorous banter with his siblings. Ric and Rita Savage injected their personalities as well, with Rita being highly energetic, and Ric providing a more laid-back approach to each hunt.

Overall, Savage Family Diggers was an entertaining and enlightening show for its audience. The Savage family's treasure hunts, history lessons and their unique personalities made it an intriguing show to watch. It was an excellent show for history buffs, treasure hunters, or anyone holding an interest in finding collectibles that were buried away in the past.
