lol....
We've turned down 7 offers over the past 4 years to be in TV projects.
I think my demand for $ 1/2 million down payment turns them off.
But it keeps them from calling back.
Yep! Doc if you did have that show , you could invite us to be on it with you as guests! Just look at the "inventory" of people you would have at your finger tip!!!
In the end these shows that show the heartaches and failures of mining with little reward are best. If they only show the riches and the good of mining then everybody would want to jump in the game. Can only imagine what the landscape would look like with millions of people tearing it up.
These shows have caused nothing but problems for us in Misery for several years now! The MDNR have been asked , toooooooooooooooo many times by newbees on where can they go and mine for gold. really a dumb thing to do when there are clubs willing to talk / show them what / where they CAN do this. NOW the MDNR has started doing a study on developing permits...........permits Ive spent MANY hours on the phone and countless emails to the MDNR offering my help or showing my equipment to show them what REALLY GOES ON with prospecting / mining /dredgeing all at my expense and time. BUT instead of listening to me OR accepting ANY help (for free) they chose to put me and another friend from K.C.off and then printing out everything I post on the net. Kinda gives a guy that ole warm and fuzzy feeling! Ive even been reported to the Misery Governor years back about this! and a person wonders why I dislike the damocraps so much!!

Problem is all the gold would be going home in our pockets! Back in the UP copper mining days, the mine reports showed very little silver due to most of it going home in the miner's lunch pails. You don't leave the SA diamond mines without going through X-ray first.
