Who Quits Gold Rush this week?

DirtStalker · Mar 11, 2015

Gold Rush teaser says Main prospector quits on new episode. I say Jack. Who do you think it will be?

meMiner · Mar 11, 2015

Only a few of them could be called "prospectors". Might narrow the list substantially. LOL

I will have to look for the trailer. I thought Gold Rush was over for this year. So this is a change for the Season 6 episodes?

Jack, but he won't "quit", just remove himself
from the cab of anything with hydraulics and a bucket... :laughing7:

I'd like them to replace whoever with a small scale miner, interesting folks like- Lanny in AB, Steve Hershbach. Victor M. or a desert guy like Goldtramp. Or they could highlight a new miner a week. Skill vs I got a bigger dozer, better dirt, and more rock trucks than you do. Folks who don't need drama to peak interest or raise ratings. Real people striving to pay bills not add another million to the family fortune. Are you TV people listening? There is a far more interesting segment of the mining community that is yet untapped. You all have gotten enough mileage out of overly emotional chemical dependent loggers, and "Choot it" Chooot it!" alligator killing. Them dead horses got no hide left.

Who cares, it's just more drama.

QNCrazy · Mar 11, 2015

They are already setting the stage for S7. I can see it now "Gold Rush: The Return of

??". After the end of this season, I'm not sure I'm going to watch anymore. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks Toad and Parker had some of that gold set aside. Bunch of crap drama. Done with it.

Fowledup, I'm working on something... just have to find the film crew but I have some leads.

Rat, have you seen episode 1 season 3 of ice cold gold? LMFAO After they fired Chad on-air they had 90%+ negative feedback.

Remember when they brought on a real small scale miner, Wayne "Nugget Brain" Peterson from AZ to the Dakota boys team. They only let him stay one episode & they fired him. That sucked! I really wanted to see more of the Nugget Brain.
Real small scale miners don't fit in there.

rjsupersonic · Mar 11, 2015

I can tell you what is going to happen in the next episode you heard it here first! Todd sets his goal too high, A piece of machinery breaks, Todd gets mad and blames the operator. Lather rinse repeat!!

Hard Prospector · Mar 11, 2015

If it wasn't for that old abrasive Viking prospector putting that bucket line dredge back into service, I wouldn't have given that show one minute of my attention.

Rivers rat · Mar 12, 2015

No i didn't i started watching this year first ...on youtube ............So when are we going

Gene Gene the Dancin' Machine.

Gene has been lookin' pretty Haggard lately :laughing7:

of course I won't be shocked if John Schnabel Dies before the
next season is over.

But I have my doubts Jack will stay away from getting his fingers on the Gold
during final clean ups.

If I had my way, it would be Beets who doesn't come back

goldenIrishman · Mar 12, 2015

While the idea of featuring a new small scale miner each week would be nice to see, I can't think of one that would want camera crews running around their claim keeping real work from getting done. After all, we have money to make to pay the bills!!!

cazisme · Mar 12, 2015

That to easy it is Tony Beets he thinks he is going to get huge return on his dredge so FU to the TV show.

Agreed, but you have to remember that 95% of the people that watch it don't watch it because they have an interest in mining (or logging). They watch it FOR the drama. Not much drama following Steve around Nevada or Nor Cal with his detector for a week. I used to be a west coast logger (10 yrs straight out of HS) & was excited to watch the logging show when it first started, then I saw that it really had nothing to do with reality so I don't watch it. The mining shows pretty much the same although if I'm home with nothing happening & my wife is going to have the tv on anyway I'll take it over most things.

I think a lot of people kept watching to see if that dredge would run. I think Tony will be around for one more season to gloat on his dredge purchase/build, if it still runs after the winter break. I would bleeping love to see his bleeping bleep leave the show.

meMiner · Mar 12, 2015

I would miss Tony. He says it like it is - - with quite a few bleeps for sure. Too bad he didn't swear in Dutch instead. They have some great words that are way better than fricken.

I suspect it is high water Gene who decides to crew elsewhere.

I was bored and watched the preshow Dirt a second time. I noticed Parker took on Todd regarding the amount spent vs the accomplishment "anybody can write a cheque and get gold" or something like that. I missed it the first time.
