About Todd and his operation


Wasn't last season the first time they made any appreciable money?

SO this mining expert decides to go to Oregon??? I never heard of big gold coming out of Oregon.

NOW he's got to go 100+ft. to hit gold??? That lease owner sold him a bill of goods

I'd have stayed in Alaska. Beets charges a lot for his lease, and his sliding % is pretty steep, but you can make money


You don't have to stand tall, but you do have to stand up!

It's a scripted clown show. Hoffman is paid by Discovery to dig and move dirt, run pipe, and pump water while saying "I think we are in the pay dirt now". Tony and Schnozzel are the real deal. Tony and his dredge is a real money maker. Meanwhile Todd is digging a hole to China.

They never tell us what the real profit is. Last year it seemed that Todd agreed to give the owner of the second wash plant half of what it found, which is obviously no way to make money.

The Beets family (or any of the other operations) aren't in Alaka. In spite of the big US flag seen on Scnabel's quad, all the claims are in the Yukon Territory, Canada. That's why you don't see those Hoffman idiots strutting around with guns like they did in the first couple of seasons shot in Alaska. Now that the Hoffman's are back in the US. Dunno how they've resisted re-arming themselves now they're back in the US.
