I can’t fault someone for trying anything, but those “Jungle Gold” guys seem like morons, IMO. Time will tell I reckon.

Yes just finished watching the alaska gold series. Started to watch the jungle gold but was a little tired. Was it good. Saw the previews of them being chased by the police.

I watched both shows one time and had my fill. Despite the efforts of the producers to inject some drama into the series both shows are like watching chimps trying to use a typewriter.

Gold mining and treasure hunting are not spectator sports. I don’t really like to watch it, mostly cause it makes me sick I am not doing it. Yeah, I get jealous.

I love to metal detect and dig privies. I have never really had a desire to watch others do it.

I watched a couple of the Jungle Gold episodes and stopped. The two main characters are Salt Lake City drama queens who were supposedly high rolling real estate investors who lost “millions” in the housing bubble crash.

Going to a turd world country to mine for gold to pay off your debts? Yah sure!

I like the guys in the Alaska series. They seem like real American spirits to me. The guys in the jungle series seem like misplaced liberals, about to be thrown off the island or something.

I keep finding myself watching the episodes for this series but I'm not sure why. While I admire these guy's gumption to go all the way to Ghana to find gold, they are idiots to do this on a shoestring: they should have enough people to keep the operation running and for real security. Ghana is the usual Third World cesspool and things are compounded by the competition from armed Chinese claim-jumpers. Any real effort should have rented a company or so of what passes for the an army in that part of the world and they should have the tactical strength to fight the Chinese (and local farmers) off.

It's gold, for gosh sakes..
