He had a weird thing for glory holes.

It's like a Coen brothers film where everything they touch goes South so it's entertaining and you just can't believe that they can screw something up again next week. They need to change the name of the show to "Dumb Fucks go to Alaska"

[scrock25]

So every site... Porcupine Creek, Big Nugget, and Quartz are finally running efficiently, and are on the gold... gonna make some fucking money, and now the fucking EPA is going to shut them down?? The fuck!!!

[scrock25]

Speaking of the EPA shitting them down, hopefully this doesn't happen.

[dre2142]

anyone still watching this?

Hoffmans have hit about 82 ounces....so about 145k.
The douche that took Procupine Creek has about 65 I think..

I like Bering Sea Gold too....

Season finale next week. I'm shocked how well the Hoffman's are doing to be honest. I wonder how much profit they will each take in if they do hit 100 ounces of gold. They have a fairly large crew, the Dakota Boys might actually take home more each just because it's only a 3 man crew.

yeah...still fish out of water but they seem to be starting to get the hang of it.

Just saw a commercial for a special that's airing on Friday. These fucks are going to the jungle to try to find gold.

Woah woah woah, they're abandoning Alaska? Or is this just some side trip in the winter?

[dave4555]

its just a summer vacation.

[Ascf33]

It's like Oregon Trail.

[dre2142]

watched the south america special.

So they visit an established mine that was mining 45 ounces per 6 days. Jack says "well....with our equipment, we could do....i hate to say it.....4 times as much!" What a guy haha.

[CHUCKYRAY]

They could barley fucking WALK to their site. Now they wanna bring everything that has taken them 2 YEARS to get running in Alaska WITH roads and take it to Guyana. How they expect to get all that shit there? They couldn't even ride a four-wheeler to it.

and did they strike out?

[Rodey]

New season starts this coming Friday. They're billing this season as the one where someone hits the "mother lode."

I can't help but wonder if their definition of that is the Hoffman's covering their expenses again.

I knew I could count on you to still be watching this show Jordan.



Time to set up the DVR. Can't wait.

[Irish78]

I ask myself every time a new episode site why I still watch this show. Nothing ever happens but I can't look away. It's like going to a NASCAR race just to see accidents and not seeing any for 2 straight years but going back for a third just in case. Somebody better find something this year!

[Ascf33]

So how long is the Alaskan mining season? I don't think they've ever mentioned it.

[dre2142]

Anyone watch "Goldfathers"? The one dude has some cute daughters...I feel bad for the one that took after her dad though haha

This is one: Lauren http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7...iby3o1_500.jpg
Ilaura- http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jkestyOT8ic/0.jpg
Jordan- https://si0.twimg.com/profile_images..._3021799_n.jpg

And the last one....cant seem to find pictures of her haha. Poor girl.

[Rodey]

I like Lauren. Never have heard of the show though.

[Rodey]

DVR'd this last night, watched it this morning.

The Hoffman's are aiming for 1,000 ounces this year.

Ha! They don't "aim", they just shoot their mouth off.

1K ounces is not going to happen. It seems like they finally have their shit together and might actually make it worth everybody's while as far as pay out for the summer goes. Last year each person made ~5K. That's hardly worth the summer's worth of work.

[Rodey]

How the hell did they pay for all the new equipment they got? The show had to have gotten that through sponsorships or something.

I thought the Hoffman's had like, a fairly successful business they ran outside of gold mining? I could be wrong though. They might have afforded that equipment through that enterprise.


It's about damn time they took this seriously though. I like that other guy (I forget his name, the one who actually knows what he's doing, always running the bull dozer) going to a mining guru and constructing his own wash plant, doing shit right.

in the 'off season' episode they showed dave and todd pitching their idea to a group of investors that enabled them to buy the new equipment. i really wondered if any of the investors ever saw the show to see what kind of crew they were dumping their money into
