My dad knew John Schnabel way back from the lumber industry. He really doesn't think Parker is an any danger of using up the inheritance

I kind of would, but I am also a bit shocked at the economics of these operations. They will spend $99,000 to dig up $100,000 of gold, and then call that successful. I keep thinking there are easier and more efficient ways to make money? I guess they really need to hit it big to make it worthwhile.

Remember it is a TV SHOW not one of them has made enough to even come close to the amount of money they have spent ! It's just a show to entertain the masses of idiots !

When you can't run one camp why try it with two? I think the show stinks. They keep saying they are in it all together, but one man weighs the gold behind closed doors.

if they weren't getting paid a salary would you sit in a camper for the summer not making any money ,Todd never let out it was proposed originally as a show in the begining it was all for the gold and the show followed them ,now we learn the show was the premise for the whole effort ,just a scam from the beginning ,they are lucky no one died from the clueless operators !

After last weeks clean out, I think the Dakota boys are going to hit it big. They just have to keep digging back to the glory hole that todd spent all that time digging out for him.
I pull for parker, he is a hard worker.

It might as well be a cartoon, it's about as real as one.

Still more realistic than that Ice Road Seatcovers.
Speaking of sponsorship......ever notice how one season Carlisle had Craftsman tools and banners all over the shop and they always zoomed in on the Craftsman batteries they were putting in the trucks.
Now they keep towing all the transports with new Eco Boost and F-350 Powerstrokes. And they always zoom in on the emblems and say.....thank God we had this new Ford to pull that out.
LOL! Give me a break.

I like most others am pulling for Parker to be the one to hit it big! Kid sure does a lot of work, reminds me of myself back in early 80's now I'm wiser and MUCH slower 
Though I didnt have all those TOYS err TOOLS and heavy equipment... I felt BAD for the kid in first of the show,when the idiot tore off the old Elec Boxes & dropped em on his hand/fingers. I think I worked with that same idiot more than once...
