Say, I was wondering if anyone has seen a gold prospecting show on the Loud Mine in Ga. filmed 2014. Tom Massey and daughter Kia and crew filmed a show on highbanking and dredging in feb. or early march. I was the only one there other than the care takers. The day was a cold and snowy one as I recall. After filming the dredging operation, they came over to where I was working to film with Kia highbanking. Tom had dug with a huge excavator in a spot hoping to find some wire gold. They brought over several 5 gal pails of material, but after running it, we never found a speck. One thing I noticed about Kia, was her beautiful teeth and smile. While we chatted away, I told her of a small stone I had found, that had been etched by mother nature, that resembled a dog and was filled with mica. She said she would like to see it, so I took her over to my motorhome. She was quite pleased and amazed. After returning and talking some, Kia told me they were headed to the Florida keys to film a dive on an old shipwreck and take a crash course on scuba diving. You know, one thing I was puzzled about, they never asked my name or where I was from. Now I'm pretty sure if Perry were there he would have asked. So, my question is, was that show on the Loud mine ever aired? I would have been the one with the cowboy hat and beard and the drenched carhartt jacket. I don't get the outdoor channel, so I don't know if I'm a star or not. You know, I was told Tom Massey wasn't very friendly, but I had no problem talking with. We even shook hands. Hey! may you always have yellow in you pan. I mean Gold.

I seem to remember seeing one filmed in GA somewhere and I think Tom and Kia both did some dredging in that one and it was cold at the time.
 
I remember that episode. The only people shown on the show was Tom, Kia and the caretaker. Sorry no star in the sidewalk.
 
Not in Georgia but...Tom and Kia are prospecting in the Denver Metro area on the latest episode of Gold Fever/Urban Prospecting. Looks like there are numerous repeats of the episode through the weekend on the outdoor network for those interested. They meet up with some locals who have various sluices, a couple of power sluices and one guy has a new Gold Hog Hog Pan. Not a bazooka to be seen. The usual pap but it was interesting to see some of what the Denver people have at their back door.

I was outta town and am not a GPAA member so...double nope. I know some of those folks of course...nice people. That GPAA chapter does some cool stuff too. Not just panning with a guy who prefers clowning around to teaching. Kia, on the other hand, is cool.

However a bunch of us are meeting at the same spot this Saturday at 10. Arapahoe Bar.
