This is why I quit watching. I don't need a recap of what happened after every commercial break. Ice road truckers did the same thing. That and they created unneeded drama for every little thing. Made the show unwatchable.

I just watched the show for the first time since season one, and it's worse than I remember it. Why are they still looking for metal in the cove? They were doing that in season one. I think the story and treasure hunt is very cool, but this show kills any interest I have in it.

You can definitely tell that Marty isn't using his own money any more. He used to be the voice of reason, now he's all in on everything and just as crazy as Rick.

This thread is more entertaining than the show. Hold off watching the show until someone announces that they actually found something. Then watch that episode and you will see everything you need to see from the show.

Try digging 40' feet down anywhere besides a desert.

Yeah, no. Pretty much every mine requires pumps to remove water. The exception being self-draining mines that have a deep draining adit.

They may not "hit water" like a well, but groundwater will fill a mine.

Dave was in a nearly fatal industrial accident many years ago and is permanently disabled because of it. Can't really expect him to do a helluva lot.

The only thing I liked about that show was finding out that Jeff Davis was a cross dresser. Everything else was crap, and the whole gold story seems pretty far fetched.
