Gold Dredger dot Com Disscussion Forums

The new season of Gold Rush starts tonight on Discovery Channel, 9 EST/ 8 CST

DVR is set.

If this was real gold mining without all of the made-for-TV drama I'd be a lot more interested. Also heard there will be no more Dakota Fred and Dustin Hurt on the porky-pine.

LD,
think for a minute about what you just said....
In a real gold mining operation the hoe driver does not smack the bucket into the trommel and the cat skinner does not back over the edge of the ore dump. There are no breakdowns because they do their maintenance in the third shift and they don't spend weeks digging worthless gravel because they performed geotech before they even hauled in equipment. In short...if this were a REAL gold mining operation it would be damn boring to watch.

This is not a dramatic show about gold mining, it is a gold mining themed show about drama.
If it weren't for the drama, there would be no show

FYI - Fred and Dustin are off the show because they are hard to work with. Translation = they are miners not actors

A little excerpt from the show!

The Dakota Boys hard to work with I wonder what the production team thinks after a season of Tony Beets WOW
Tony is my kinda guy, no BS, you know right where you stand.

I wish Parker would mature up and not get pissed off if it don't go his way. Luv the kid but grow up, this is the big boys toy box....

Bonaro is right, a gold mining show with drama.....to much.
But not enough not to watch

I think some of their decisions are comical at best.
The Dodge boys seem to have things figured out.

The show must go on.

I was thinking of a little drama for myself and thought id go walk downtown Ferguson , Misery afterdark and see whats really happening...................on second thought, maybe NOT!
