A lot of people are complaining about this show,because they know the players,the laws,and the terrain. This show is mainly for those across the nation who idea of wildlife is 4 inch grass. My sister loves this show. Its all the rave down south.
I dont know what is coming our way,but I have a feeling they will end it well.
Truly guys do we want frank,and wayne,woddy,and the history channel giving useable information. If they did that we would be complaining about all the idiots ruining our mountain. Nothing screws up land like a gold rush.

You are right John....so right....if we looked at this on the level that you just stated, we would (or should) take a step back by understanding that the last thing we need is a bunch of individuals tramping all over the mountains!....kind of a mental picture of Walmart on Black Friday..[emoji15]

Thats looks like some rough country, i dont think many would get to far from there vehicle before they headed back, if there smart. Those guys put there life on the line for our enjoyment. You guys that have hike the soups know that,one mistake,it could get ugly fast.

I may be wrong,but I think this show is a reenactment of a real search. The location and maybe the people involved have been changed to protect the treasure. After all people will go looking. It would be irresponsible to disclose the exact location. Then again it might all be bull.
The truth is only a handful of people will ever know.
Of course there was a intense moment here at my house. When I saw those black hands. I thought for sure I was about to lose a cache. Hehe





or a reenactment of a real search, that didnt find anything

This is what they will find inside the cave:

View attachment 1129503

My guess is they will find something that has been "sealed up" pretty good, and have to "call off the hunt" until they can "figure something out,"

but.... not gonna happen unless the 2nd season gets greenlit!

That cross would be my guess as well. But not being involved in the making of the series, who knows ?
Will they find it in the lower cave, which was mined at one time, but not for guano ? Or in the narrow slot to the right ?

Or even wayyyyy up there ?

It's probably my favorite current show so I really hope they do green-light another season - preferably with a bigger number of episodes. I also hope future episodes get more in-depth and detailed on whatever they're doing

I get that same impression johnmark. The early days of a search going back many years, but due to logistics, only filmed at some of the locations easiest to get a crew into. Spectacular scenery though, and all that was necessary to give those following the series a glimpse of what lies out there beyond Goldfield.

Regards:SH.

You Canadian's are alike. Always showing your cracks

Like Wayne said.
If I had known what he and Bob were talking about in that one scene......I'd be crackin up.
What do you think ?

You know...they should have dedicated the last episode to Randy though....since they went and killed him off

They're not gonna find a cross in the bat cave, that I can promise you. I can't wait for the last episode :) The thought about the show being a re-creation of a search is very interesting, I never thought about it like that. I like it.

And don't forget lots of cameo's of other fellow Treasure Net hunters and armchair authors.

My guess is they film Eric going up that ladder until he's "out of sight" and then cut away to the INT of a different cave that's elsewhere, on ground level, devoid of guano and convenient to transportation. Inside this convenient cave will be the necessary props.

That's why props are used for reenactments. To make you think that something was found.
And that something might just give you a reason to continue the search.....or shoot a second season.

You may remember me saying this before.
My first look at the sups was google earth.
So when I finally put boots on the ground. I was completely unprepared. So Im glad folks get to see the real terrain. Still I love those mountains. I could be up there everyday. If I didn't live so far away.

That would work. But thinking back, they might find it just laying up high on a rock face somewhere.
But I'll betcha they do make Eric climb up and get it.
