I too have recently been contacted by a TV production company. They want to do a cable-TV series (!) about a person who does driiling/disarming of civil war artillery shells. I've been told that Harry Ridgeway turned them down. They might find somebody who can't resist the opportunity to be a TV star, but I hope that person realizes that when you're on TV, you will come onto the radar screen of your local law-enforcement officials -- and local politicians whose agenda may not be compatible with yours.
Sidenote, because somebody will probably ask why I turned down the TV-show producers:
After the Sam White incident, the local county and city police departments invited me to conduct a class for their Bomb Squads on how to distinguish civil war era artillery projectiles from 20th-Century projectiles (which can be actively-dangerous), how the various fuzes worked, and my Inerting techniques. I did so, with excellent results. They've consulted with me half-a-dozen times since then. So, I'm solidly established as a well-qualified Professional with the local authorities. But I have zero interest in being a TV star. Also, the TV-show producers want somebody under 60 "who looks adventurous." That excludes me, on both counts. I scent another "Diggers" type of TV show.
