I think the attention this series made will draw more predators to these folks next season. That one prospector/diver reminds me of Quentin Tarantino (who has the 'Opera girl' as a partner) is living in a glorified TENT on the beach - where does he keep his cash that is safe? One scene, guys are starting a knife fight at the bar - meanwhile the assayer is walking around with thousands of dollars in cash. I hope the local assayer is carrying a gun. I suspect you all agree - this Captain is going places. He has a solid future in motivational speaking engagements, perhaps a position as an appointee in obama's administration as a business adviser. My only hope is that his talent isn't wasted by the wealth that finding hundreds of dollars in gold can bring. He is absolutely inspirational.Ĭaptain Scott of the Wild Ranger - undisputed winner of the Costa Concordia's 'Excellence in results award' - and the US Coast Guard Alaska's coveted 'Most crew members sacrificed in the line of duty award'. No matter what the unexpected brings - this Captain steps up, takes responsibility - and sets the course for success. His management style has motivated his crew to performing beyond their peak - with amazing feats of courage, dedication, and most of all: gold production.

His rig, his crew, and level of preparedness have set new standards for excellence. The people running these dredge rigs are some rough and grizzled sumbitches. That part was super cool and I hope those boys get on the gold.Īnd damn Nome, Alaska looks like a dirty place - third-world almost. I liked the ingenious water heater that Ian and Shawn built. Also, I don't see how this equipment hasn't rusted apart yet saltwater is EXTREMELY corrosive and that environment is just gnarly. $20 says that piece of equipment goes down next episode while they're out and can't get themselves back in.

To the guys running the big barge, here's a NOVEL idea: Take some of that $95k you've dug up and FIX YOUR GODDAMN OUT-DRIVES FOR FUCK'S SAKE! Pretty stupid and dangerous to have to row your rig back and forth with the excavator. Scott likes to be pissed off and in somebody's ass all the time and Steve's an annoying little pussy who likes to grate on peoples' nerves and patience 24/7. Scott and Steve fucking deserve each other. 'Master in Opera' = WASTE OF TIME AND HARD-EARNED MONEY.
