i and 3 workmates bought a keens' portable dredge,years ago at mine we worked at ,all had four wheel drive toyos' on night shift we would go up into mountain shallow creeks, known gold bearing spots, you could see gold specks down in crevises, dig down to black hardpan thats' were she is. had a lot of fun and good booze trips, lost dredge in big flood. fuken hard work ,doesnt' matter when your young and fit. anybody sez growing is easy is a dope,lol.

Yeah, I laugh everytime something goes wrong with Fred. Not only did he buy the Hoffmans claim and kick them off(season1) but then he wouldn't help Parker after Parker helped him.He deserves all the bad karma that comes his way.
I too am hoping that Parker is the one who hits it big.

been watching the jungle gold some, pretty interesting on some things, shit loads of Chinese running illegal mining ops with a lot of fire power
sure as hell ain't Kansas, one thing you can see with most guys trying this stuff, they don't have many good options
big lottery ticket with plenty of ass busting in the process

Parkers grandpa is looking pretty tired...its going to be rough for Parker when hes gone.
The Hoffman crew are as discombobulated as usual They are getting some gold tho, not sure how hehe
It sure is weird that they can tear up the land like they do. If you do that around here you will be in jail for a long time.

The show is SO full of fake drama, its getting to be bullshit...

Like when Haffmans motor dies, they went over to the other spot to ask if they could do the remaining 7 oz's..

The guy was like "well. I dont know if we can do it Todd. I dont think we will make it with so little time till the investor gets here". As his rig is running full tilt right behind him, and for who knows how long before Todd got there to ask. And that spot JUST pulled a ridiculous amount of gold out the ground....

After Todd leaves, the dude says "Todd should of done those 7 oz's, I dont think we should help him get to the goal"...
YOU STUPID FUCK!! Ya, dont help him and get THE WHOLE operation shut down! All because your bitching about 7 fucking oz's that is already sitting in the sluice box...

Show is entertaining, but becoming really ghey lately....

Well another season is almost over.....2 hr season finale next week. Its been fun to watch, the behind the scenes shows are the best! Dakota Fred is a tough son of a bitch!! He wont stop till he falls over dead. The Hoffman crew seem to be killing it this year so far. Parker is still trying to find the mother load!! I hope he does, Grandpa gave him some good advise, hope it pans out hehe
Bering Sea Gold is another crazy ass show..gold just laying on the bottom of the ocean, wild!!

if I were you, I would learn from all the hype in the past.. see where it got people..

but then there is some who want to learn the hard way. so be it


gold digging = desperation. don't be desperate, bad quality to have

just watched the 'big' episode, lot of hype of course
they did have this build up on somebody hitting it big, thought that was pretty bogus
but i agree with habeeb about desperation, not a great way to earn a living
