Gold Rush - Jungle Gold

[aygov]

And Fred will wind up griping because he can't keep the water out of his glory hole........

Sounds like more of a personal problem tbh...

 

[+HopSpunge+]

I just started watching it DVR. Toad is going around begging from everyone now. Wtf...

 

[acefaser]

Looks like Fred is on to something... That SUCKS! I wanted Parker to find the mother load.

Todd is an incompetent goat bearded moron. Not one ounce of gold from Quartz creek? If I'm the Indian River crew, I would be thinking of doing my own claim next season. Todd's new trommel has been an epic failure.

He can't help that the trommel guy screwed him so bad

He bought a unproven machine from a unproven trommel guy. Did you see his shop, he obviously does not build trommels for a living. At least not on the scale of Toads. So in my book ---Todds Fault.

They should send Todd over to the Jungle Gold Show. The rest of the bunch might actually get some gold

 

[Airplanedoc]

I loved how when Parker, his brother, and his dad blew up the rock in the way of the road, all three were giggling like school girls as the dust settled. Even though his dad and brother do that for a living.

The bamazon debacle will be on again in a little bit. I can't wait to watch. It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

 

[Gear101]

I feel bad for Parker, I was hoping that hill would pay off. Maybe he can get some more out of that other spot he rented.

and everything goes good for grandpa, sounds like he has a high PSA.

Did any one notice that Tony Beets wife called Parker son-in-law to be when they got to Big Nugget? Good man Parker! It was 50/50 wether or not Tony would cut his d**k off or have a good old klondike shot gun wedding for looking at his daughter!

 

[reinstone]

I dont think I have seen two shows where operations are run by complete morons. for some reason-I never miss an episode though.....

Next season-Damnit we forgot to buy our equipment again-lost 3 weeks of the season.

YES i saw that too, but he's a good kid. or maybe she is just warning him.

 

[Camping57]

Tony asked Parker if he would see him up in the Klondike and he said yes; I can see him setting up next to Toad and actually running an operation that gets gold. I would like to see Parker hit a pay streak somewhere, he seems like a pretty decent guy; Tony seems to like him, and I get the feeling he doesn't like too many people.
Come to think of it, I bet all those jars of gold are from Tony Beets' claim when Parker goes up their to join their 'family'.

It's Toad's fault for buying from a guy who obviously didn't have the facility nor the know how to deliver. According to the show, all they saw of this super trommel was one sitting under a foot of snow. If you're going to swap out such an integral part of your mining operation one would think you'd want to see what you're buying in action before you wrote a check...

 

[+HopSpunge+]

I agree, Toad spending that much money on the trommel without seeing one work was pretty darn dumb. Toad should have been a little wiser. I really just love his new nickname "Toad" and enjoy writting it and thats why I posted. Toad is a perfect nickname for him. I just wish whoever thought of "Toad" could come up with a real good one for stingey Fred. He diserves it more than Toad.

I learned he was stupid when he pulled "Old Blue" down. Why would you trash your only way to mine gold when your waiting for the new machine to arrive? Dumb! I'm not surprised with Toads actions.

Edit: Can we say Slow Learner!?

x2. Maybe they payed him to rip it down to get better ratings.
Ripping old blue down was the stupidest thing he could have done. he knew the other trommel wasn't going to be ready for at least 2 more weeks. Just because it wasn't the most efficient machine doesn't mean it wont produce gold. 60% efficiency (so he claimed) is better than 0%. Toad is the moron of the show.

 

[chefmatthew]

Sorry its just another fake reality show.

 

[+HopSpunge+]

Wtf. That episode sucked ballz. Camera men filming camera men.

Agree. This show is going down hill fast. Chock it up with all the other fake reality shows. I thought this one was halfway real when it started. Between Toads idiotic thinking and the repetitiveness of the shows are starting to wear on me. It seams like the start of each show and after every commercial there is a repeat of so much information that you end up watching the show 10 times by the end of the season.

 

[aygov]

Yea, the shows about the show are getting pretty repetitive. One a season is fine, but I think at least half of this season has been these pointless rehashes or behind the scenes.

 

[+HopSpunge+]

Someone should copy this entire thread and email it to the discovery chanel. It could really help thier ratings and what not.

 

[aygov]

I think it's threads like these that made Discovery close their community forums...

 

[Gear101]

two weeks of behind the sences.

I just heard Todd say 4500oz???

 

[+HopSpunge+]

Time to watch Toad go bankrupt.

 

[evolcoms]

I don't know what to think of Todd since the last episode. I mean, cmon! I know when you have gold fever you make some dumb decisions, but hes been making them non stop. Why would you buy a prototype of something, when you have so much on the line?! I wonder who he is going to send home? I think he should hand the reins over the Dave and Todd should pack up!

 

[usfmikeb]

If he wants to try to stick to getting to 1,000 ounces, I don't think he needs to send anyone home, he needs to start running the machine at Indian River on both a day and night shift. He can truck in the dirt from Quartz Creek, and run dirt from both sites through that washplant. Now, I don't know how long that washplant can handle running double duty, but its the only way he can do it, short of finding a new washplant and getting it setup in the next week.

 

[Airplanedoc]

Later I caught the aftershow show where they interview the different guys. Tony Beets and Fred Dodge comments about Toad were interesting.

Don't know if its a dish network thing or what but Harness is still listed in the show info popup where the show description and episode info is. I wonder what that is about? History still feeding his drug habit?

 

[Gear101]

Todd is only 92 oz short. LOL

 

[Darwin18]

Has Toad recovered anything from Quartz Creek this year? At what point does that crew just start hand panning all the soil they've stockpiled since their "prototype" trommel is obviously not recovering the gold being put into it.
