I enjoy the show too. Sounds like your fiancee should take a trip to Alaska next year. These guys are from about 20 miles away from me and I love the old guy w/the Don’t tread on me hat.
Merry Christmas
I have not been to Alaska but my fiancee’ lived in Wasilla for awhile and he has been all over. He consults with mines up thre in the Yukon surveying the gold reserves on their claims. In fact next summer he and a friend are going up to work the friend’s claim for a month or so. He told me last night he thinks these guys would have been better served to set up a sluice box process. It would not move as many yards of dirt a day but its easy to set up and they would have been mining right off the bat and getting at least a couple of ounces of gold a day. At $1,400 per oz it adds up fast.
My guess is these guys will make more money from the reality show than the gold they mine. I’m glad to see average people who are out of work making some money any way they can.
