Better known as “Digger” from the Discovery Channel docu-series Moonshiners, Manes is wearing overalls with the top button on each side undone, and doesn’t look like someone of reality TV fame.

Where is Digger from Moonshiners?

I meet Eric Manes inside Fruit Jar Alley, his wife’s clothing boutique in the sleepy Smoky Mountain town of Newport, Tennessee. Better known as “Digger” from the Discovery Channel docu-series Moonshiners, Manes is wearing overalls with the top button on each side undone, and doesn’t look like someone of reality TV fame.

A licensed embalmer, Manes worked at his father’s funeral parlor by day and moonshined by night. “It was not the money that really lured me in.

It was Ramsey who pushed for the two to join the cast of Moonshiners, but Manes says he wasn’t interested. To be honest, Manes seems completely indifferent to, if not slightly uncomfortable with, his fame.

How much moonshine did Popcorn hide?

According to Popcorn’s wife Pam, Popcorn hid 60 gallons of moonshine before his death, but never revealed the location to her. “With Popcorn’s rebel legend status and the number of years it’s been since he’s been gone, we’re talking about $35,000 worth of moonshine,” Digger told cameras. Time will tell if they find it!

While most of their income comes from the reality show, Mark and Digger also started a distillery together called Sugarlands Distilling Co. in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. “Sugarlands Distilling Co. opened its downtown Gatlinburg distillery in March 2014 to perform the age-old craft of distilling fine Sugarlands Spirits,” the website reads.

Mark and Digger do everything together. Even on social media, Mark and Digger are joined at the hip, which makes sense, seeing as they both got their start working under moonshine legend Popcorn Sutton. While Popcorn sadly passed away in 2009, recently Mark and Digger went on the hunt for his hidden stash of moonshine.
