The new episode opens with the Quartz Creek boys finding actual gold. It's much harder to make fun of them now.

Todd is just great. He always says "I know there is gold here", then when they don't find it he says "It's actually over there", then just now he said "we are sittin' on 40 oz right here." He just makes up random numbers with absolutely no idea of the amount of gold... or even the presence of it.  Hope they do find tons of gold though, they would be so happy  edit: now he just said "500-1000 oz on bedrock." Calm down Todd, you are finding gold.

"You know that new cut you guys just made? Yeah, the gold is probably totally in the other direction."

Todd Hoffman is desperately trying to take his "dumbest gold miner" title back from the carnival of contenders on Bering Sea Gold. If they end up finding gold in "cut 3" though, he can't win it back. How fitting is it, though, that their two best cleanouts have come from "someone in the crew does something completely random on a whim" moments. (Thurber panning the bedrock remnants from cut 1 and Jack deciding to run their old ramp) Grandpa John nooooo

I knew the triumphant music was coming on too early while Fred was moving rock, makes sense now that the doomsday music came on when the trac fell off. triumphant music is back

Has anything NOT broken on the Dakota Boys' claim? I'm pretty sure everything has broken, except maybe their trommel.

91 and third heart attack? Yeah, two weeks should be enough rest before going back to work. He thought he was going to get to retire. Ha!

How long until they move to cut 4, because cut 4 has the gold actually

I have learned 2 things from these shows. 1. It seems like almost everyone that looks for gold is a idiot 2. Gold miners never wash there vehicles Dude : Hey wanna go scuba diving for gold? Chick : sure Dude : do you know how dive ? Chick : No Dude : me either, lets go Chick : ok Dude : I don't have a girlfriend btw....

The Christine Rose just matched Dakota Fred's entire season haul in one trip. The advantages of having a backhoe in the Bering Sea. Scott Meisterheim's three rules for being a dredger (I think these were them): 1) Have common sense 2) Not be a pussy 3) Have a huge set of balls I'd like to add one to that, based off tonight's results: 4) Find gold

Yeah funny seeing them just set there dry and everything getting 50 oz while the others are spending hours in the water moving rocks killing themselves and just getting what's on the surface.

The suction guys are doing it wrong. They can only get tiny surface flakes and patches where loose soil is near the hard clay. The majority of the gold has sunk down to the hard rock, just like on land with the bedrock.

Another thing. Don't know what they get paid to let the camera's around. There is not a chance in hell I would have done it if I was the guy on the christine rose. I would want everything thinking it was just dumb rear end's in boats that will sink at any moment with a vacuum and not backhoe's and poo poo doing it right. If I was a multimillionaire I am calling up guys telling them to design me a barge with a backhoe on each side.

Winkie01 posted:Another thing. Don't know what they get paid to let the camera's around. Dunno if it's accurate or not, but I read an article about Meisterheim where he claimed they didn't pay him, which means either they did it for free or the owner pocketed it all (or he's lying). I guess Old Man Pomrenke is the closest that Nome gets to having a Tony Beets character. He's just not the same.

"Woohoo, the season almost over and I haven't lost money (unless you factor in buying the mine or lost wages I could be making doing anything else). But hey, I haven't lost money on food and gas running the mine(unless you don't count all the black stuff I'm weighing with my gold)." -Dakota Fred, living the american dream.

I know it's been said but drat does nome look like some 3rd world shithole. Was glad to see parker's grampa make it, he reminds me of my grampa so much, so full of life and that drive to continue working that I wish I had learned from him in the short time I knew him.

What are all the expenses the christine rose has they are talking about? I mean they are only running a backhoe at this point, it even does the paddling. And we all know that running all your mining rigs on land is $1000/day in expenses! (no matter what amount of equipment you run it seems). It makes you wonder just how much gold you could pull out if you put a huge shaker in the middle of a boat and flank it by 4 backhoes all just shoveling poo poo directly into it.

I could've sworn they said that they need ~10 ounces of gold a day/week just to break even, but I'm not sure how accurate that is, especially if it was per day.

The mining rigs on the Bering Sea gold show are such a ragtag bunch of contraptions I almost expect to see Dick Dastardly and Muttley cruising by in the background on a raft of lashed together barrels with an airplane propeller pointed at a bedsheet sail.

They also use an actual engine; I think the backhoes just to help out when needed/when the engine cuts out.

They have a shaker and sluicebox (pumps) on the barge, those would need diesel to run.

I hope the Hoffmans get frozen out before they get too far into Cut 3, and then when they try to go back to Quartz Creek in season 3, one of their crew members bought the claim out from under them (bonus points if it's Dakota Fred, who wanted to branch out into the Klondike).
