I think that this adventure has changed their lives. The writers are too detached. In this case they faced like tons of problems but they're spirit was unbreakable and the mechanic - amazing. But at the end of the day it is incredibly entertaining for me. For the amount of material they supposedly moved and the pitiful amount of gold recovered they have picked the worst spot on earth, maybe the entire solar system. I am amazed when I see things such as equipment operating for long periods without a sign of a grease gun or any maintenance at all! Take care of it and keep going. For the sole reason of watching that retarded group try and get gold.
Ricks laugh reminds me of Muggsy from cartoon land. They presume their audience is as ignorant as they are. The writers have gone out of their way to create fake drama in this show. Tony mounts a huge operation to replace a 24-ton bucket line, and has fun racing with some of the Street Outlaws team. Maybe the story-line isn't nothing new to people but it's really interesting to watch and I completed the whole season in just two evenings. Hells' bells, the Teletubbies have more smarts! The Discovery Channel should do a show on the impact of mining of the gold as compared to the benefit. Todd moved his entire operation to Oregon in search of a mountain of nugget.
I know absolutely nothing about gold mining but I will tell you I can do a hands down much better job than those idiots. The only person who made any sense was the safety dude and I don't understand why he was on board with this operation. This fate awaits the writers of this show. After watching the last episode I had only one thought stuck in my mind - When is the second season on air? Season 3 is a must, as this show just seems to now be hitting it's stride. And that is what I love the most about this series - making the dream come true from scratch, facing problems and solving them, filming and simply just seeing the gold.
I spent 54 years as a journeyman truck-and heavy-equipment mechanic, often working through the night by myself a long way away from any help. I don't see them winterize anything, yet they come back the next year and wouldn't you know? But their dreams of jungle gold are derailed by a local land dispute that threatens to turn violent. Parker transforms Rick's operation while he's away. Todd's crew scours the mountainside for gold after he gives them a shocking ultimatum. And why the hell did they bring their kids up there.
Old chappy's son and that goatee and barking commands and saying- I don't have enough money when he should be saying I don't have enough of dad's money. Maybe I'm just biased because I've been prospecting and mining gold in the Mojave Desert since the 1970's. Before the new mining season even kicks off, gold miner Todd Hoffman lays everything on the line and wagers a massive bet with 22-year-old Parker Schnabel. The Story So Far 2017 charts their struggles, highs and lows across 7 seasons as they compete in their search for gold. What's with them having to use the F word every time they open their mouth? Seriously, check the classified ads. Things don't go always the way you want them to go. Another miracle- the batteries are hot, the stuff starts right up without anyone checking a thing.
Raping the lands, killing the wildlife and teaching that to their kids, they talk about friendships yet leave one guy sleeping in a tent in the middle of Alaska where the Bears outnumber the humans-dumb dumb dumb. But will they be able to put their money where their mouth is? But don't confuse my rant as hating this show, I love it but if the producers are reading this I have something that will help your ratings without having to make them act out drama. It's unlikely any of them have ever seen a gold pan let alone a real gold mine. . The Beets crew takes the helm of the family barge on the Yukon River and runs it aground. A bunch of incompetent Yahoos go out digging in the woods.
The stupid ones end up blowing them selves up or falling down a mine shaft. A season or two ago, an excavator chewed up a final and Jack took it apart, and it was obvious that it was bone-dry without lube- no wonder! Of course the folks who like this slop wouldn't be interested in learning anything. Parker is developing a A-class asshole attitude, if some of this is real it is interesting to ponder why - ambition, expectations, camera fever, narcissism or something else? This year, the rivalry among the miners has reached new levels. I've enjoyed Storage Wars, I begrudgingly watch Pawn Stars but just find that show to be all contrived, and Ricks Dads is unintelligible, talks like his mouth is full of marbles, and with Rick's laugh, who needs canned laughter or a laugh-track, he laughs at all his own jokes! Reminds me of a bunch of construction workers destroying the lands of Alaska. I think this show is offensive to any one with common sense. The filming was creative and I always like to think how it is for them.
We all know there's bears in alaska don't we, so if we were setting up camp we'd take a gun or two for protection. Real miners are not stupid. There's a Certified asshole if ever there was one. Instead we have yet another badly written, poorly acted, soap opera. This year Todd and Jack take over an existing claim, and wouldn't ya know? Todd's son, Hunter demands a change of mine site if they're going to have a future.
