I watched the first show and yes it will be similar to the other show with one exception, some of them got gold the first day out. The barge with the scoop shovel on did the best at 72Ks worth and that was with the shovel swinging side to side using the bucket like a paddle cause his power drive wasn't working. He better get that thing working, coming back in in choppy water he almost put it on the rocks. Luckily he got a tow from a fishing boat just in time. We also had our first dust up and first injury/
Have to watch a couple more to see if it's worth the whole season.
Taking that monster out on the high seas with NO DRIVE was about the dumbest thang I ever seen!! Rest of the show decent with all the homie dredges and goldfarbs,wish'm all luck as last year was a tough season for one and all and some years down to 5-10 dredge days a YEAR!!! tons a au 2 u 2 -John
Sorry, But I just do not know or associate with that many disfunctional people. Where do they dig these characters up. Are they purposely trying to make the Gold Prospecting Community out to look like a bunch of in-bread and disfunctional baboons
As for there equipment. I have seen worse but I have also seen much more professional setup rigs. This too, I feel is staging for the cameras. I do know that I and many more here on this board could build a much better and safer dredge rig, than they are showing here.
Okay, I will get off the pulpit now and watch the dang thing again next week. Just like the rest of ya.
The amount of gold $70,000 plus for ONE day...compared to the other show..where red necks dig mud holes and Curley Joe from the 3 Stooges in charge of the mess...
did anybody else catch a glimpse of that big bucket dredge in the fly over? looks like would be the best thing to use out there. i have a gold cold- i don't have a gold fever yet.
We watched it and my dad laughed his ass off. Said if they were like that on his dredges in Africa they'd be crocidile meat. What a bunch of baffoons. The big barge was just fricking lucky they weren't berring sea anchovies. It will be highly entertaining and a bust to laugh at. The real world of dredging does not act like that.

I guess the 1st episode wasnt too bad..Why the drama? who cares about someone being late as the boat pulls out and gets fired.. and why does someone always have to be billy badazz.. lets stick to the topic of dredging..personally i hope the guy running in the small boat filled with water does good..once he gets going..i mean thats something that we all could do..
