Interesting TV show on gold - America's Gold

[Reno Chris]

The new Forum looks great!

Hey I wanted to mention that there is an up coming television program the forum members would probably enjoy on the History channel next Tuesday, March 2nd at 9 pm. Its an episode of "How the Earth Was Made" a televison show on geology. This particular episode is called "America's Gold" and is about gold mining in America, but covers everything from the gold rushes of the 1800s to individual prospectors, on up to big mining operations. I spent a day with the film crew last June and they recorded me in a lot of different scenes, but who knows how much of that they actually used (I might be in it for 10 minutes or it might only be 10 seconds!). They also shot a bunch of footage at the famous 16 to 1 mine in Alleghany California, and out at the big mines in Nevada. Anyway, it should be interesting to watch.

It looks like 9 Eastern to me. I just added it to my DVR.

I should have noted that its 9pm Pacific time and in the east, but its 8 pm mountain time and in Arizona. Check your local listings as they say -

It should be a good show - they got a lot of good footage.

I checked out The History Channel online and I will tell you what the whole "How The Earth Was Made" series looks good, thanks for the tip, Chris.

Just finished watching here on the east coast - EXCELLENT SHOW - Chris, I think you have a new career.

The show was fantastic. Thanks for the heads up Chris! After watching, I've come to the conclusion, the average prospector, unless there in Australia or the Sudan, isn't going to find much in the rivers, and above in the benches. It seems that down, down, down in the ground is the name of the game.
