By the end of the show Todd's luck may have changed, but what will go wrong next?
 

We are DVRing the episode as we speak so we can watch it later but I agree, Todd is a risky animal and takes chances with other peoples' money.I feel bad for the people that are working for him,he's a loose cannon.
 

Hes a complete disregard for his crews safety as well. He is going to get someone hurt or killed someday.
 

I quit watching the first year when they didn't know to put riffles in the sluice!!!!!
 

The guy is an idiot.. He has the money to finance these crazy trips and takes along a crew of guys who can make him look good.. I would like to see what dave could do on his own with the same crew.. I bet he would make todd look like a complete moron more so than he does himself.. He really makes this show unbearable sometimes..
 

I was in Const 40+ years and started operating equipment at 12 yrs old and I can assure you Todd Hoffman, his dad and his crew are the biggest bunch of idiots i ever seen. You know darn well he couldn't even afford to go to Alaska much less S. America if it wasn't for the discovery channel. The only one worth watching on the entire show is Parker for a kid he is the smartest of all of them. The Hoffmans are babbling idiots. I met a guy last year in Alaska that used to sell them stuff in Oregon where they are from and he said they were just as big of idiots in Oregon. He couldn't stand the old man
 

Yep, can't stand that idiot!

I agree completely with everything you just posted. I even like Beets. Yeah he's in it for the money. Isn't that why they all do what they do ? I think he's being hard on the kid because it's a hard life and he's trying to show Parker the way rather than blow smoke up his a$$. I respect that. I think Parker is doing the daughter and Beets sees him as part of the family. lol... One thing that blew me away though but I don't have a clue what prices are in Alaska for heavy equipment. I did work as a field mechanic for a Komatsu, Link Belt & Michigan dealer many years ago. Is a clapped out, falling apart dozer really worth 140k in Alaska or did Todd screw the kid ?
 

we should watch & learn how NOT to be like todd. I LOVE Grampa Schnovel, Schobel(?) He is the reason I watch the show.
 

I tell everyone who talks about it...do the opposite of the fat guy with the beard and you'll have better results.
 

IT'S A SHOW. ON TV. IT IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT. DON'T YOU GET IT? IF YOU DON'T LIKE, THEN TURN IT OFF!
 

I cant believe that after finally getting onto some decent size nuggets down on the bedrock that Fred is giving up on the so called "glory hole" :dontknow:
Even though it's just a show and mostly make believe, I still would have thought that Fred would have found a way to recover the rest of the gold and kept on following the bedrock all the way down stream from the "waterfall" filling in behind him with the tailings as he went to keep it safe.

Oh well, I guess you would have to be there to know what is really going on and the real reasons for their actions other than what is edited for TV.

GG~

I'm still waiting for the giant Anaconda snake to swallow Toad Hoffman. Then spit him out because of all the foul tasting blubber!

I need to get a hold of Christo and tell him to include that!The ratings would soar!

OMG! You're kidding! Thanks for clueing us in and giving us words of enlightenment. I feel so stupid.

OK guys...time to move on. We've been schooled.
 

If there working so hard why does Todd keep getting bigger?
