GOLD RUSH BEGINS TONIGHT

I hear ya Msbeepbeep. (BTW...I used to own a couple of 1970 Road Runners and I was rarely caught but that's another story for another time)

Anyways...2016 for me so far has been much like a year ago with things much too important not to tend to. Waiting for my day and sorely need it.

The problem is that there is no "behind" one of those dredges. They are dumping the sands, gravels and boulders behind themselves, covering anything left behind. Only hope would be to get into a hole from when the dredge was last shut down and abandoned.
 

Ok , so I'll tell you how sheltered from tv I am . I am sitting here wondering what season Gold Rush is on ?:dontknow:
 

Moto that only tells you that you haven"t missed a thing.I sometimes wonder the same thing.
 

Yeah I guess , but I really like to see the equipment run . There are a couple of guys that are pretty decent operators , but the planning , etc is bad . When the Hoffmans brought in their monster red plant they should have made provisions for more water and larger equipment to feed the thing , and I would at that point like to have seen hydraulic riffles on that plant and a slightly better wash on the upper end. I would haveused a bigger pump system. I just don't think they ever had enough water and pressure to really clean the tailing . I may have even put a rock crusher at the the head of the plant to break down the ice and stone for a better wash . These guys need to go big or go home . It's enjoyable to see Parker make twice as much with there used equipment fromthe Hoffman's and less man power , is the kid a little , {you know what I'm thinking } yeah but he gets the gold ,following Tony's lead .

Back to the dredge thingy i still wondering why none had thought about a 2nd "sluicing circuit " for the gravel and potentially gold ......cars got turbo .....some heating system recycle the hot before it is release in the outside ,are the dredge at the time only picking a certain size of gold after reading few topics here it seems that there isn't a super system in place to pick it all just a thought anyway...............

I get the impression "Hollywood" has more to do with the operations than they should...but it's on their dime.

Not the first time they've decked out and messed up a "real life" drama to the point those that actually do that are pulling their hair out and screaming at the TV.
I used to peek in on it once in a while but I can't watch it all, drives me crazy and I haven't used a dredge. I guess it's the constant avoidance of common sense that gets me.
 

I loved it too. Go Parker GO! ......nge
 

So , Is anyone going to tell me what season they are in ?:icon_scratch:

between the end of the dredge platform and discharge of conveyor boom. Should leave a time window.There some options coming to mind,but don,t know if it,s worth the investment.
 

Im guessing the final season. But more then likey I would be wrong. Some soap opera"s Have lasted 30 years.

Thanks Guys . I was thinking about checking the Discovery channel to see if the video set is available , I just love machines , I don't even really think about the drama . If I was in better shape I would go give it a try , but I'm past that point and my wife looks at me and says why , and I say because I could , and she says you could have . Thats right I could have , but long hours in a machine and running the show would at best be hard to impossible . I still have the mind of a 25 year old but the body of a 95 year old , it's a good thing chicks love scars , because my whole body has them . LOL
 

Talk about running gold out the back of the sluice, remember when Gene talked Parker into rerunning tailings? The ended up adding more spray bars to wash the rocks better. Todd ran big red the whole time running a good % out the back from that and not using hydro riffles. Things like would add a lot to gold totals over the long haul.
 

I liked the look on Todd's face in the preview of next week when he was told Parker might buy the land! KODAK MOMENT!!! ??? :BangHead:
 

Amen to that brother , thats why I would love to run the tailing and even the sluice area of the Hoffmans , I bet they are richer in Gold then what they get per yard .
 

it makes me soooooo happy that parker is ahead of the toad

Really, Parker's a douchebag and has no loyalty to his crew. It was obvious when he made that remark that he couldn't care less who made him money. He defintely doesn't deserve Rick on his team.
