A member of the Club in my area came back from There about a week ago for a week and should be back there because the weather was horrible he said. I didnt bother to ask if he saw the camera crews but I did ask if he had found any gold and he said he had found just over 4 ounces. He prospects the beach and he said his worst season was 106 ounces. I cant wait til he gets back si I can find out how he does this season.

A Facebook fan page for BSG reports that Emily has her own dredge now called (get this) "Eurotika." Zeke still has the Edge.

Scott Reidel has his own dredge called The Minnow. Insert Gilligan's Island jokes here.

There is a second dredge with an excavator on it like the Christine Rose, only this on just has the entire device, treads and all, sitting on deck. if you watch 'Ax Men' and saw the rig Shelby Stanga set up, it's the same deal. And Scott Meisterheim is building a monstrous dredge even bigger than the Christine Rose measuring 28x80. Now where the hell did he get the money to do that?

Scott finally sobered up. I think he found an investor to finance the whole thing.

I have a question. What is the incentive to let the discovery channel film you while you are trying to work ?

are they making a lot of money letting discovery hound you all day ?

I heard that with BSG, Original started really low balling their talent and locking them into long term contracts. They had too many problems with other shows, like Dave Hester getting too big for his britches on Storage Wars.

As for letting someone film you, hey, it's the best backup you can have. If something goes really wrong you know they will drop the camera and help you.

I'm currently working in nome, weather is crap all the time everything is damn expensive and if you don't know where the gold is at you will probably loose your ass and end up spending all your money in town... Luckily I know where the golds at and it's not on the beach where every other wanna be movie star miner is. Granted there is a lot of beach gold but there are other untapped resources in the area
