Picks, shovels and pans would not produce the amount of gold in a season, that Parker is doing in a day.
Backhoes would get stuck every 30 seconds. The big machinery is necessary for what they are doing. They are mining 100s of acres.
I like the show, but dislike the drama. Sadly, without the drama there would be very few viewers. The Hoffmans are idiots, and they get paid the most. Todd has been named "Hot Pockets" by many people I interact with/talk to. It seems he never works, but is there for the camera. It's been said he makes 400k per episode.
It's a shame an idiot gets paid that much to be an idiot. And he is an idiot.
