I do enjoy the actual working and planning part of the show, I don't like the injected drama of arguments, and temper tantrums, and tend to turn the channel when the bleeping starts hot and heavy. It makes me think about how I would handle a gold claim, and how much money would have to be spent on hardware like a washplant, pumps, hoses/fittings, electric generators, bulldozer, track hoes, wheel loaders, dump trucks, tools, repair parts, diesel fuel, food for a crew,
a full time mechanic, Polaris ranger 4x4 UTV, gold cleanup equipment
I think I could do it a lot cheaper by keeping the number of guys to 3-4, and having smaller equipment, and using 16'dump trailers behind a pickup, and maybe backhoes instead of trackhoes and wheel loaders. also having 5 HP briggs trash pumps and a small portable wash plant, that could be set up or moved easily.
