I must admit this series got me thinking about getting invovled. I have sold pumps to the mining industry for a number of years and had discussions with them about. Certainly a lot of science behind the claims. Clearly not that experienced even I'd run some test holes to check my gold concentration before spending six months digging a hole that could lead no where.
Don't think much of what Fred does in season two but hey I guess that's mining for you.
The kid cracks me up would have loved spending the summers with my old man and grandpa digging up gold..
The Dutch bloke in the second series has a smoken hot daughter would love to see more of her on the show though.
I have followed all series from 1 - 3 think discovery backs them win or loose .
they have very high ratings guys like us watch. http://goldrush-alaska.com/index.php?pagid=watchs3e9
above link is free watch each week.
Here's a youtube link if you watch the show. The Hoffman crew is a bit of a train wreck, but I can't look away lol. I hope they find the motherload this season!
Yeah, I've also got my fingers crossed for Parker. He's a good kid with an amazing grandfather. Can't believe that guy is 90 and still running around like he's 50 haha. I guess the fresh air keeps you young and positive.
Ramjet - I really cant be bothered this year (same knob-action every year) BUT is Dakota Fred up to no good? he is my favourite and I still love how he got the Todd and Co bafoons kicked off the creek in the original series.
