mts said:It also looked like the vial of gold they did produce was about 50% black sand. They didn't do a very good job of panning.
The one interesting story they shared was about the guy who had recovered 700 ounces of gold from his cleanout many years ago (he lived in the area). They found him dead that night and his gold (worth about $1M today) was nowhere to be found. Forgive me if I messed up the numbers. I'm doing it from memory. But you get the idea.

Wouldn't that bee cool? A team better than the fly-by-night Hoffman bozo's and we find more gold than they do!!!!
SWEEEEEEEETTTT!!!!!!!! Count me in!!!!!

I just don't understand why Dorsey's are saying they received no money for the show. How can you be a cast member and not be paid?

Pretty sure you have to play an instrument and sing country/western music to be on Dorsey's crew
They may not find any gold but they are going to have fun trying.

I guess since you have so much equipment perhaps you will let me sign on as your "grip"
My harmonica will fit in my pocket.
TheHarleyMan2 said:Hey that's cool with me!!! I think several of us here ought to get together and head to Alaska, maybe if we can't get on Dorsey's team, maybe we can put our own together. After all, Axe Men, and Deadliest Catch usually has about 4-8 teams out there doing the same thing, competing with each other!!!

GreyCloud you can provide the financing and join up after your year in Tulsa.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!!!!!!!!! I AM SERIOUS!!! We ought to put a team together and go for it. I don't have anything else to do except research all day long on the computer and play Army once a month which that can be rearranged!
One thing I figured is to cut down on fuels to operate equipment, and housing, the team needs to put forth the equal amount of funds and get solar panels installed to operate some of the things like living quarters, power, etc. That would cut fuel costs down below 3/4 of operation and leave the fuels for neccessary motorized equipment like excavators, vehicles, and some of the mining equipment.
$15,000-$20,000 for solar panels installed compared to double the amount spent for fuel costs for the season for equipment. You know if that generator is running to provide power for the buildings, and anything else running is going to consume more fuel than the costs of solar panels.
TheHarleyMan2 said:I don't know GG, but from the episodes there should be enough sun light to run solar panels.
I got a few cases of MRE's that should last me for a couple of months, also plug me up pretty good in case I can't find a crapper anywhere!!!!
I figured there should be enough trees around, bring my chainsaw and make a log cabin instead of a fancy house or living in a tent. Should be pretty easy to do and get some metal roofing for the roof!
