    Man I love that show. I didn't really think I would get into it but I was hooked after a few episodes. I feel like I'm right along side them waiting to see a big nugget pop out of the sluice! I haven't seen the season two premier yet so I'll hold off on reading this thread for fear of spoilers. It's on my DVR so I'll probably catch it tomorrow night with the wife. I got her into it as well

    I have been watching the show as well. I would like to see what they make this year on it..sad to say they could of spend that money else where and had a return on it alot faster...but this could turn out to be a better over all return if they hit the gold...but again thats IF they find it...alot of money to risk with no back up....

    I was kinda disappointed to read that it's all scripted, even the fighting and arguing.

    They say the way to make a little money mining is to start with a lot of money! Any idea why I can't see the original post by Kris Kringle?

    Deleted most likely by him or staff at his request or their whim.

    Perhaps it's just another of life's great mysteries.

    We'll never know unless staff decides to grace us with an answer. I won't be holding my breath tho, they got bigger an better things to do I'm sure.

    Ol'Kris Kringle if I recall had a few...skippy mixed with Injunjoe moments if I recall properly.

    Oh well..the mystery shall continue!
