So how can Todd just walk on a lease?


How does all that work? Did he still pay for the rest of the term? How much does claim owner get vs the worker (Todd)? Was all that equipment the claim owners? Todd just left it or rented?

All good questions. Those boys up in the Klondike would have broken his legs if he pulled that crap.

Then again this is all scripted. I guess Disc Ch cut them a check

I'm sure there is a minimum they had to pay plus a percentage of the gold they collect on the claim. As long as they pay that minimum they aren't in breach.

I think if he had tried that *beep* on tony beets there would be a perfect Todd shaped crave up there now! The man has got no class

Obviously it doesnt make sense to stay in a spot if you arent producing. Also Oregon's season has to be longer, surely they could find someone else to mine it. Why is todd always soooo broke? I mean he pulls in a decent amount of gold each year... Does he not save. He is always one step away from losing it all...
