Struggling Mine Was Cleaning By Hand AND Throwing Gold Away | Gold Rush: Freddy Dodge's Mine Rescue 

Finding gold is finding gold, it doesn’t belong to anyone of us 😁

He's getting paid off the show. It's a spinoff

and "ideas"

for sure!!!! At least the bottom half . . .

Its all for show

Because that’s what the script required?

Well it’s how some people become rich and other well, you know

It must be easy to get tunnel vison when mining.

It’s what happens when you make your money in a different field and don’t get the right help

Hobby miners with commercial gear is usually a bad idea.

Ya, money and no experience

@@robertearhart8349 nah bro no money and no experience and no brain's

@@evandawkins4805 buying abandoned equipment from previous guys with no money, no experience and no brains

@@edsloan8535 my thoughts exactly 💯

Alcoholic shakes

Yep. A classic side effect of gold fever.

I know im not the greatest at math but they said 1.44 ounces worth around 2.5k in todays terms. 2,500 x 5 = 12,500 a week or 50,000 a month. Operating cost was around 1k a day, im assuming thats just his costs of fuel/etc not labor. So that leaves 7,500 a week in profit to split however, or 30,000 a month. Now im not sure how many guys it actually is taking to run this operation but it seems decent money just not get rich quick money?

@@justinklaassen7190 That is after the fix. Before the fix is what was referenced.

$20 of gold, gone with the wind :p

Matt Ashford, I hear ya buddy, but it is still there they just need to rerun all their tailings pryer to Freddy and Juan's fixes. I would just mix it in with the new material.

I mean the old guys just an employee he’s happy to be making a pay check again 😂. The owner was not happy lol

why weren't they checking the tailings everyday????

Why cry about things you can’t change?

You can't look back you can only look forwards.

Save me with your cleanup table.

with the amount of water being used i think that would end up costing more than it benefits.

@@LD-mu4eg True they aren't getting that much to begin with, but we are talking about a couple of drops per gallon here... given the fineness of the gold, it might be worth a try.

If it's super fine gold held onto of the water by surface tensions then could they not divert the top cm or two of water off at the very end, send it off I to a barrel then then empties back into the cycle from the bottom. That way all the gold stays at the top of the barrel, eventually it would build up, maybe get one of those circular rotating separators that pulls the gold upwards off the surface. I'm sure there's options beside surficant.

Well his screen has been taking gold with it too so he needs to re run everything that's was ran already. Meaning running it all the first time was a waste of money and he's got to pay those overhead costs all over again.

Mining is a real job

@@Indian0Lore It's not mining. It's opportunism.

You going to buy a metric ton of jet dry?

I've got some Peter for ya👍🏻

They said that they needed 1/2 oz per day, about $1000, to break even. They got about 1/4 oz (0.26 or 0.27, I can't recall), so about half of what they need.
