I would absolutely love to live like this!!!

[@dennisharold9342]

They'll hire you.

[@bradmorcom1788]

I have 30 years experience at mining. Hired on at 20 signed for my pension at 50. I'm 52 now. I would love to work for one of these outfits. Many need a real Plant Repairman. How do you apply

[@timothyanderson2108]

Opps oh I suppose no one in a right mind would go to the Hoffman excuse

[@sayUNCLE1236]

Parker is an excellent leader

[@ThePolarknight]

Parker is dodshit

[@mikelane4940]

I swore LOTS and threw wrenches where did it get me absulty nowhere except a sore shoulder and lost tools

[@kingtut5923]

Rick whos the woman beside you\looks like from down on skid row \BC

[@jamesm.8392]

My puter has No Ad Blockers and I Allow YT Ads but still cannot watch any YT Videos . . . Brilliant !!!

[@davesieber2095]

Sounds like a you problem

[@crystalsharp6685]

On previous episodes I've seen the Shaker rattle springs loose.. Is there any way of installing cushioners of some sort, to absorb some of the vibrations to prevent the equipment from shaking themselves apart? Also, I wonder why they don't redirect the water that runs through the slucer, into a half pipe, then back into their pond so that they always have water? This would help prevent not having water towards the end of the season as well, when things start freezing up.

[@GALACTUS-WORLD-EATER]

recirculation systems are used in gold mining. but they also add to potential running problems with silt build up

[@woodster2078]

Why not invest in a remote controlled disconnect switchgear instead of running to shut the plant down? Hit the remote and turn off the power? Just an idea. Like a remotely controlled generator off switch?

[@sixbox9634]

Most likely not as much of a hurry as it is depicted in the series

[@timothyanderson2108]

I wonder if a set of solenoids to do just that make me wonder myself actually 😂

[@timothyanderson2108]

Steam the permafrost an dredge from the monitor off run of water lol

[@timothyanderson2108]

Imagine a water sensor in the sprat area etc To shut it all down upon no water flow an more sensors to shut down on more things that I miss

[@magicone9327]

All the running around, yelling shut it down, shut it down, is all theatrics cause if it wasn’t , well you know.

[@jamesbodiford8701]

Mike and Kevin catch alot of he'll from their dad.

[@roterakaten636]

And while tge sprocket is free. Make a template get copies made and have that on file so that ypu can order new gears.

[@gerardedgar5961]

I don't know how you get things set up. But the gold is not going anywhere. So unless you get it unless you take it, so it's gonna sit there, wait for a next Spring.

[@KevinScanlan-ei8pv]

Water rights only last a short time

[@sofakingrad3530]

Why wasn't Todd Hoffman in this? Oh that's right, it would take 235 hours to show all of his failures.

[@kensanity178]

Not to mention that of all of the people depicted in the gold rush program, Todd Hoffman knew the LEAST about gold mining.

[@jamesreed1027]

the whole show is a joke i watch it for a laugh

[@denisdecharmoy]

New operators are eating or drinking while working, this has caused many injured, for not giving their work 100%

[@tukienla8127]

Are they not check once in awhile there machines, I see they have always problem

[@dandolan3168]

Bs you always have stuff you break in the bush thank you discovery Channel

[@americanfortruth]

Lifting Lug. It sounds better than lifting eye, I never heard them called an eye before.

[@stephenlane1801]

This ain't gold rush this is Volvo rush

[@jackryan261]

😂

[@scottlynch2219]

I didn't notice that till now.

[@richardl.tinney8775]

Volvo use to be a pos with all the electronic failures and all around mechanical problems but fellas they’ve had 40yrs to improve here in North America…but I have a 100 yr old John Deere still producing sooo! Don’t mak’em like they use too!

[@blackchecker2009]

yes i think that to why they not use Cat or Case 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@jeremyk_541]

Best in the business

[@jamesbobo3128]

Hello from Ohio if you say that you stopped in time how's that when its halfway down in the muck pond

[@richardcunningham7964]

Parker is by far the king off the Klondike

[@richardcunningham7964]

Fred Lewis needs to go home or just go back to work for Parker if he'll let him

[@mikelane4940]

these comments are to the TONY BEETS CREW

[@timothyanderson2108]

I'm yet to see the comments but this makes me want to 😂 It's a slight bit better then the Hoffman dud act 😂😂😂 All down time in the world an not repair a thing lol Great vision they have

[@bodomeijer772]

He makes so much Money and you need the best Machines and especially someone who makes inspections every Day and at the End of the Saison

[@stephenlane1801]

I think I'll buy stock and Volvo

[@WestCoastGoldProspecting]

At 21 minutes in. How in the heck do you lose control of a rock truck like that ??? She should not be out there. Sorry but no. I wish they paid well enough for me to go out there.

[@KETO_DIET]

It was in the shows script. The Stuntman wearing a wig was the person driving....!🤪

[@gregshearer423]

She done that and got sacked 😂

[@EddiXP]

​@@KETO_DIET😂😂😂

[@davidicousgregorian]

They pay enough.the only reason girl drives is cuz Tony has a daughter and she has friends.

[@Shu-ShuCult]

Boring without drama, almost all the " bad things" are staged, so they have a show 😂

[@TSMalini]

In which country you have taken this video. I like this Gold rush programme.

[@stephenlane1801]

Do you think that volvos paying for any of this?

[@wtchr6883]

You think?

[@geoffreyclaxton3624]

They should have a bun wall around the pond; law here in Australia

[@somanyfeelz]

What's a bun wall?

[@raverboi89]

20:55 "oopsy" women after they make a costly mistake 😒😒😒

[@philjames9076]

great video lads hope you get lots of gold💪👍

[@billridarelli5691]

You never see them do a walk around ✔️ oil .

[@johnjacobs1625]

Everyday maintenance is IMPORTANT!! JJ

[@svenmammel4430]

This guy makes a million dollars and he’s just like well I guess I’ll take it.

[@alfredpfattischer556]

How come most of the machinery , is from sweden ?

[@kensanity178]

The mechanical failures made me stop watching.

[@johnperez93640]

Why do all these teams always pour the gold and count it out loud? Zero out the pan, dump the gold in the pan, and then wait for it to settle. Why pour it and count it out loud.

[@gregshearer423]

Dramatic effect this is for tv remember

[@rodb7437]

Nothing like a fresh feed of fish

[@JohnBrown-lt5ge]

Fred has no idea

[@Jandyg]

You mean that you can’t drive a haul truck with 60,000# load. Like your KIA full of kids? Wow had no idea?

[@americanfortruth]

Everyday with every crew something breaks, try showing some gold bars instead of a broken bolt. I fixed stuff like that all my life and it never happened everyday because you inspect the stuff.

[@deleteddata6671]

Now show her trying to parallel park 😂

[@staggerinstanton56]

I'll never understand why they hire some of these people.

[@Fraiserson]

Not everyone is raised around this type of work buddy

[@lord_haven1114]

Not everyone wants to leave their family for months to grind 16 hour 6 day work weeks for no guarantee of being paid much. Even if you are paid an average operator wage it’s still tough and you could probably work somewhere closer to home for the same

[@channeltopone636]

toi thay tap nay cung thuogn thuogn

[@catalinloizu5780]

What sezon is this?

[@wtchr6883]

12 maybe

[@chrisl2090]

bit of a Jumpscare there. @37:37

[@virus56777]

No it didn’t.

[@randalljames1]

everyone wants to be the boss.... I wonder when one of them figures out how to do this as a "Team"

[@johnrobichaud130]

I doubt that running the rock into sediment pond was planned

[@gerardedgar5961]

She came out laughing,???? If I say anything more, I'll get in trouble.😮

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

Texting

[@lord_haven1114]

Probably just shock. Some people laugh when they just went through something really scary

[@JKNELOYSHORTS]

hay

[@Liz-e7t]

Love faqn Tony..

[@alfredpfattischer556]

It would be nice to hear Tony swearing 😁

[@dumitrupetrisor1592]

100%

[@jimbobbluegrass]

Somebody tell Rick his cap is not on straight.

[@nobs3075]

Really, a rerun?

[@Iaintwoke]

Why do they keep calling the chain a "track" ??

[@kevinbushey1879]

Try saving some money for a rainy day,so when you Break down your ok. All you do is complain about money,life to short to worry about money all day.

[@iancampbell6002]

You do realize that's its reality tv...I'm sure they all have $ saved ..but the TV channel has to make drama

[@shane7133]

I think discovery is confused on the difference between actually losing money vs just not making money.

[@davidicousgregorian]

It's not Aussie gold that's in Alaska and Canada and Yukon .nowhere near Aussie .

[@Glenn-em3hv]

That's what you do fix it anyway possible or Mickey mouse it!!!!

[@Monkeyslapper13]

I this is older. If it wasn't I would stop watching show because they were drinking bud light. They are lucky that the coozies were hiding them.

[@somanyfeelz]

I'm sure they don't care if you watch or not.

[@JohnSmith-tf7fz]

It's more about principles and not buying into the woke b.s.

[@gogsiboy4921]

Poor mentainanc= time=cost =$.

[@billbrown6889]

The miners have to reclaim the land when they are done. They put up a really huge bond with the state to cover the cost of this reclamation and the govenment inspects to make sure its back to the way they want it.

[@andrewscott3184]

Should get some real men on that worksite

[@markvietti]

ya no more of these woke workers

[@Thaddy62]

Does the Beets clean up theirs's Mess When they are Done? Like Planting trees back and Cleaning up the land that they Destroyed. has anyone look at the Miners that Mine the Land?

[@gregshearer423]

You’ve got a real problem with the beets don’t you and they don’t have to reclaim land till there done mining

[@HelenTomlinson-y1t]

I want a job I have all my machines Adt 360 operator and shovel

[@julieagain]

I’d love to watch without getting my ear beeped out F&@& this

[@fukkyoutube]

those rock trucks are not a half million dollars guys

[@garethsmith7628]

Depends on the truck, they go for up to $5 mill new

[@brewstar58]

No Sluice ~ No Juice

[@lucasjackson5130]

This is why we don’t subscribe. Really you want money for this? Yeah free or unsubscribe

[@Jeff-vt8kn]

[@stephengeba883]

Yah,millionaire,al of them. Need cheese for that WHINE LOL

[@juanitathompson6837]

Boy rhis us old videos unless monica had another baby

[@brianr1165]

This show is hard to hear with all the beeping.

[@rodkelley1787]

How did tony lose the gold it's still in the same place

[@neelprasad335]

He lost the hours he was supposed to mine the gold in and the specific time frame given in the season he lost the hours is equivalent to losing the gold it self ...

[@kevinbushey1879]

All you gold miner are the same need to keep running I’m losing money, I’m broke down losing money, stop complaining things brake down in all business.

[@markvietti]

such whinners

[@wtchr6883]

And all of the business owners I have ever done work for in forty years acted like every breakdown was bankrupting them.

[@jimmyboimazarti1234]

Yeh it never made sense to me why they don’t have a stock of parts likely to wear and break down so they can get straight back up and running

[@donnykiofetzis5775]

did he sack the blond girl.? for putting the tipper truck in the creek

[@ZacVaper]

Must be very desperate to hire her, just to drive into a pond. But it could happen to any girl.

[@lord_haven1114]

A lot of huge mining companies hire all women drivers for their equipment. Apparently they are “easier” on them…I mean unless they drive them off a cliff or into a lake anyway.

[@edsonsiqueira9420]

Lfai dizem.

[@williamtipene1995]

Bro built pond no buns bro

[@somanyfeelz]

Can you explain what buns are?

[@jeremiah-om7zl]

Rick and Fred, 😂😂😂😂 what a joke 😂😂😂😂

[@jimmyboimazarti1234]

Yeh what’s going on when did he leave Parker

[@jeremiah-om7zl]

Rick left after the 3rd season

[@powderaddicts6364]

I see Rick as being much more successful than Fred, Fred…yes that whole situation is definitely a joke 😂

[@Thaddy62]

Just Look at the Land they leave Behind

[@yourfavoritelawnguy2722]

look up reclamation laws, they do NOT leave them like this, or while they personally might, the land is repaired.

[@mastercreamer1398]

Is that gold worth all that they destroyed to get it? No it’s not

[@mielaslave]

How fake is this show. Loader gonne sink. Leaves his dog inside. Always somting going wrong.

[@vernonwallace3059]

You can replace a rock truck but you can't replace a human life

[@deanwest5475]

Old episodes, this an't new

[@123TauruZ321]

I can't stand that narrator's faked voice.

[@kevwoods6827]

6.7 lol take the.Cost of changes and they made no profit 🤣🤣

[@richardcunningham7964]

There should be only 3 crews. Parker tony rick the other are laughable

[@alifvaivai3889]

[@MariaantoniaPerezsuarez]
