Gold rush

I think that all of the dirt and rocks running through the trommel was about like sandblasting and slowly wore away at the urethane.

No, it was falling out in long ropes.

Urethane calk, like rubber, is extremely resistant to sandblasting.

I am not sure why he designed it so it needed a sealant, but urethane would be an excellent choice in that application. That's what is puzzling.

Why didn't they truck it the 2 miles an stock pile it at the other sight? Fix the problem then run the new good stuff. run the other plant 24 hrs a day to make up for lost time.
Fire Todd he is incompetent.He couldn't lead a troop of cub scouts to a fast food joint

Folks It's a reality show started by Todd ,You can't honestly believe they would spend HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIND such a small amount of gold in return .Those men aren't living on what they produce they are getting paid by Discovery and Although I think most of the time they have NO CLUE what they are doing who in their right mind would sit around and wait for months to try to make something ? it's all part of the script !

I think Todd should sit you guys down for a heart to heart chat .......thats what he is best at

As long as you accept that some of it is BS and some of it is real it's OK. Heck, Gilligan's Island was totally fake (and unbelievable) as was Knight Rider but those were fun shows too.

I like watching, and I really like the Parker Schanbel Clan and I feel they are the least fake ones in the bunch. I think the producers definitely say all kinds of truth-stretchers (like saving the Gold Nugget mine BS). You have to know that all the "investor" bs is just that...BS.

Still fun and better than about 80% of everything else on tv.

I have to wonder how anyone made money at gold mining before gold was $1700 an ounce??

 

[Army grunt]

I keep forgetting its all scripted. Thats the case why dont they have someone(Todd) win just once. Even a broken clock is right 2 times a day.
I pull for the 17or 18 year old grandson.

My guess is the Dakota Boys will do good this year.

Todds other crew can do good also if they worked together 23 hours a day in two shifts. Just a hour for a clean out and maintenance.

Makes no sense why all of Todds crew don't double up on the other claim rather than sitting doing nothing. And at the original claim seems they could run even though some of the gold is getting through, get what they can, then re-run the tailings at some point. Would beat doing nothing,. They act like once you run it through the sluice it can't be run again.

They on $6, 000 of gold out of the trommel. It probably costs more than that to run it for the week. I think parker said it cost $5, 000 a week to run his. I think next week everyone from Todds claim is at Indian river.
