if you liked the show American Pickers on the History Channel, when they did the episode on Shapiro metals in St.Louis,Mo. then you should like the new show thats also comeing out on the History Channel next year named "American Heavy Metal". i was picking up some metal from Shapiros today and was kidding Sam Shapiro about the show and he told me about his new show for next season.ill be watching it because i know Sam and his dad Stanley. and thats where i buy my metal!

Here's your chance to become famous.

Hello,

My name is Heather Teta and I'm a Casting Director with Ish Entertainment. We're currently looking to develop a new documentary-style TV series that would profile dynamic diamond and/or gem hunters at work - and all the excitement, adventure and drama that goes into hunting down the perfect stone. I came across your organization through my treasure hunting research so I'm hoping that you'll be open to discussing our project further.

This is obviously a very exciting career that most people know very little about...we're sure viewers would be shocked (and fascinated) by the obstacles that diamond and gem experts regularly navigate in the field (whether it be battling the elements, extreme travel scenarios, the physical labor involved, threats to personal safety, etc.). Our goal is to meet and interview talented folks who have seen and experienced it all in the field, and who have big personalities to match their expertise.

I'd love to speak with you more about our project and welcome any and all referrals for dynamic diamond / gem hunters who would be willing to share stories with us. I appreciate your time and consideration so much and look forward to hearing from you!

Best,
Heather Teta
Casting Director - Development

It looks right down Matt and Connies road. I'll have to give him a call. He even has a book of previews for them.
