Rubies are nice but I would have gone for the gold!
GG~
How convenient that they make a big ruby discovery 100 miles away just as their time is up. Seems they should have gone for the rubies from day one. Rubies are awesome, but finding gem quality isn't that easy. I have raw rubies, but they aren't worth much because they can't be cut and polished.
Was happy to see the outcome of last nights final episode even though the gold prospects were a bust, at least there was something to keep from going home empty handed along with a valuable reason for returning to Greenland next season.
Wish everyone involved a safe and prosperous next season.

Their operation wasn't very well thought out. Most of the time would have been spent on splitting everyone up in sets of 2 and have them all take camping equipment and supplies with them. Covering as much ground without having to return to base. It's a waste of precious time to have to walk back to basecamp just to say you didn't find anything.
I admit I hoped for a decent show..But alas it seems so far from real life...Me I suspect that this show was probaly years in the making..Maybe not the camera footage but the time and research..I have my doubts...It is of my opinion that whether or not they already knew a valuable deposit was their or becouse they already did prior footwork or they just got lucky I doubt seriously that any of them had anything to lose!!!I am not aware of their backgrounds but I am very aware of the working man..And I can tell you how disapointed I was to be Represented by 2 men claiming to be prospectors though the whole time I was wondering what the hell they were doining... Unfortunatly I think these shows only do one thing and that is give hope to the new AMERICAN DREAM...Stupidity, Drama and false representation equal money, fame and success !! Got love America..Me I will stick to Astrobouncer, Reed Luken Hurthawk and some others for my gold adventures as I find them way more truthfull in their adventures!!! And I actually learn something...All I learned from Ice Cold Gold and Gold Rush And Bamazon is that any person can wake up one day and just become whatever they want with no experiance!! As long as the discovery channel say's your a prospector or whatever it must be true!! But who can blame them if I had money to burn I guess one day I would wake up a prospector the next a drunk and after that an astronaut!!
Jeff, I'm still here.
ATV's would have been useless.
Thank you GoodGuy for your support!
As far as the show, it is reality TV edited by non prospectors. I find it funny most here are of the same frame of mind I was, before going to Greenland. Many questions and curiosities. Remember this though, 50+ days cannot be fully covered in less than 6 one hour shows!
Still, I hope everyone enjoyed the show.
I enjoyed the show, but understand what you mean about the editors. IT seemed to be mostly shots of guys walking or talking, and very little prospecting. I also had the feeling that the crew was assembled by the TV production company, for the very reasons stated earlier. Why did there need to be a driller and excavator?
I really wish they would have made this about the real prospecting trip that it was instead the "race to find gold"! Prospecting is about lots of walking, lots of explorations, test pans, and analysis.
