What are thinking folks, stand or fall? Would be cool to see Buzz rip a sweet haul out of Bonanza.

So the latest episode indicated that 17 employees were fired over whatever time period they edited together. Would anyone who was in the general area know if any were hired by Parker, and how they worked out?

SPOILERS SO DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE FIRST EPISODE. New here and dont know how to blur the spoilers

When the guy flipped tonys new truck at the edge of the cliff did anyone notice how they didnt care for the guy’s safety? First question the son asked was do i have all of my windows still? I know its a new truck jut insurance will pay that out for sure. I didn’t like the son but i definitely don’t like him now

Parker sold Slucifer late in the year to a neighbor who just got it running again. Cant wait to see what he gets next.

I'm sure I remember some other crew mining Bonanza Creek in past seasons. I'm thinking maybe Fred Lewis... or maybe I'm just overwhelmed by Buzz and the mountain!

How long until we hear "Mining Legend Buzz Legault" from the narrator?

Anyone notice the editor was picking and choosing what logos to blur?
Tony's segment had the Cat logo blurred. But they reference every Cat machinery D11 Dozer and 950 non stop. Cut to the next segment and Parkers machines have Cat in full display. Next segment Buzz is wearing a huge Carhartt logo on his sleeve.. 10 seconds later the Carhartt sleeve is blurred.

Discovery start to shake down Carhartt and Cat for money and only get half the payment?

Recently read this book on the lives of 3 women through the original Gold Rush in the late 1800's. Based loosely and closely on real life stories.

A brilliant read. Extremely well written and a nice way to indulge that Gold Rush itch while the new season slowly releases!

Please don't fucking show them two again...one minute was more than enough to see that I hate them...

8:00pm-9:08pm Gold Rush Season 17 Episode 2 "A Midas Mess"

Tony's crew sinks a bulldozer and two trucks in the Midas Cut while his grandson flirts with a rock truck driver.

Parker pushes to get his second wash plant running.

Buzz struggles to assemble a new plant.

Production Code 1702

It looks like we are in full miner rotation mode, where only 3 of the 4 camps will be on the show in an episode.

It also looks like we are back to stuffing the max number of commercials into an episode.

You see these pans filled with gold at the end of each show so there’s TONNES of money on these sites in the middle of nowhere.

Obviously it’s not going to be the type of thief who steals mobile phones as a drive by from their mopeds but do thefts happen from these mine sites. Do they ever get some “hiker” who has a go?

I doubt with all the film crews it’s ever going to happen on the shows mines but what about the smaller operations?

Say a thief sneaks on site in the middle of the night and trips some sort of alarm, claim owner gets up to investigate and finds the thief, gold handed, in their gold room…

What are the bosses or whoever allowed to do to said thief? I mean, let’s face it, you’re in the middle of bum fudge nowhere and there’s a hell of a lot of freshly excavated ground to lose someone in…

I think I’ve described it enough, does it happen and how is it handled?

Edit for clarity, I’m not at all asking about employee theft I’m asking about if they ever get outside people who sneak on site and if so what do they do.

Hi all this current season ( i forget what it is now 22/23???) that is showing on Discovery when would this have finished filming ? just trying to get a timeline in my head as obv it is fall now in #alaska so are we a whole year behind'?

So parker said he is going to run 4 plants. 3x SD600 and 1X SD500. Let's assume parker runs at the low end of stated capacity 300 tons per hour and 250 tons respectively. Let's assume Parkers dug gravels are 1.5 ton per yard.. that's 200 and 150 yards.. so 750 yards per hour across the 4 plants.

If we assume Parkers ground is lean at 0.3 oz per 100 yards. That's 2.25 oz per hour so to hit 13000 oz

It rounds to 5800 hours slucing... which presuming a 20 week slicing season per plant is about 10 hours a day... so presuming he is slucing more like 15 to 16 hours and the ground is not that lean... 13000 should be easy!!!!

Update: so based on 160yards per hour quoted for big red and the 47oz gained... in the gold room they stated just under 0.5oz per hour.... so that's between.0.25 and 0.3oz per 100 yards... so considering that's top gravels and not the good stuff....

At some point, Hollywood should make Gold Rush, The Movie. They won't, but if they did who plays the various miners?

Tony Beets: Gary Oldman (reprising his role from Slow Horses, but Danish)

Parker: Michael Cera

Rick: Mickey Rourke

What do you say?

Is anyone mapping the location of Parkers cuts..

The Airstrip Cut the golden goose is on. Is this the big cut parker was preparing last year which the over burden went into the other cut he had to mine out?

Parker obviously stripped the top gravels last season to allow the bottom gravels to thaw. If that's the case and he pulled 145oz in week 1 presuming a weeks worth or running. This could be the best cut he has mined yet.

I've watched every episode and not only has Buzz never mined this type of sand cliff with deep sloughs before, I dont believe is has ever even processed this type of material before on the show.

Sorry if this was already asked but I couldn't find any info. I just watched the first show and didn't see them show anything from Kevin's operation. Then I saw Buzz who was basically Kevin's main man towards the end of his season show up to work for the new guy Gibson. Is he not going to be featured on the show this year? If so I'm very curious who they would get to replace Buzz.

When will the new season release on hbo max in Europe? Does somebody know?

Many of the miners on Gold Rush are Americans like Parker and Rick. How difficult is it to get permission to mine in Canada, collect their gold and sell it? Do they have to get Canada's version of a green card, file for residency or what. What kind of taxes are they paying on the gold they mine?
