What season is this

[@darrellbeets7758]

3 minute 30 parker: now that this one is down, il go to slucifer to make sure that one keeps running. 4 minute 00 crew lets take water from slucifer and compromice that one.

[@xXeragon224Xx]

They're only taking water from the pond Slucifer is using, it wont be compromised until the pond runs dry.

[@426superbee4]

Can't blame the night crew. They can't see what the water looks like at night~ That water still to dirty!

[@oscargonzalez477]

Wow magically a camera where the belt came off, how did they know? Oh yea...

[@TotallyNoCat]

You know how many cameras they have stationed everywhere?

[@uwillnevahno6837]

how does silt, a light material, collect in the sluice?

[@Invictus13666]

Because it’s a fine material.

[@chillbro1010]

Just one example: How do you get a helium balloon to touch the floor? You fill the entire room with balloons. Silt ALWAYS deposits but when you use clean enough water it eventually gets washed away, if you pour dirty water you clean off 1 pound of silt but put 1.1pounds right back on.

There was a man worth his salt.

[@P.G.Wodelouse]

erm lol just tension the belt correctly or maybe spend the 10 bucks on a unstretched belt might make it not jump off lol no need to weld a cover for it.

[@ladyqonimvu8604]

why didn't he dredge the dump pond to recover at least some of the lost materials?

[@mammutMK2]

That's not in the plot

Nobody would make a penny without Mitch. He's worth a fortune to have on your team x

nah

is he now on the team of Fred and not more on the one from parker??

[@truamerican1405]

He wouldn't be with out Parker 😉

[@zepplinfan9000]

@@truamerican1405 yes he would, boss men can change, but a mans skill level stays with him..

[@TheDonegan1]

He didn't loose anything, he just didn't earn that money.

[@123TauruZ321]

Ridiculous thing of Chris Doumitt to say they lost 15 ounces, he did not know how long the sluices were packed with silt, it could have been 8 hours, 2 hours, he didn't know. So they could have lost 100 ounces for all he knew.

[@bobbythomas6520]

you dont really get 100 ounces overnight. most weekly goals are 150-200

[@123TauruZ321]

@@bobbythomas6520 They may hit pockets. Like that one guy said to Todd in one episode, your whole season can lie in one scoop.

[@bobbythomas6520]

@@123TauruZ321 yeah it can but I’m sure they would’ve checked the dirt, pockets of 100 ounces in a day is just super rare, more than likely his guess is probably accurate

[@IronWarrior95]

@NatSoc Kaiser yes! I honestly don't understand why they never do this.. every time something happens that throws all the gold out the sluce, they are just mad over the lost gold, but this gold didn't just disappear into space, its in the tailings, not even that far. They could just collect it and wash it again. Even when everything is running normally, I would alwas take from time to time a bit from the tailings and let it run through the plant a second time.. isn't that much work and can really do a change.

[@IronWarrior95]

@NatSoc Kaiser yeah I also thought about that.. I wish there was often more shown about the background stuff happening..

[@digimalone]

No one on the crew ever ask themselves why the belt keeps jumping off. Talk about a novice crew.

[@TeamStevers]

Posts video of the sluice you work on. Never trust TVedits

[@floridaboy5617]

Yea pretty much.. But that guy Mitch knows his shit & basically do anything on a construction site

[@mattinwinkymg]

Respect your elders lol

[@Bloomcycle]

Can't they just scoop it up at the end and just ree wash it?

[@aholtondesign]

Fred crew hasn't found any amount of gold worth the crap they keep breaking

[@basedsalty6970]

Fred has no clue about mining gold. Hes got to be the worst in Gold Rush history

Bruh....that looks like a regular day for Todd Haufmans crew. Absolute shitshow lol

[@blackbirdxx928]

If they lost any gold it didnt go far, it isnt like it floats away....it it probably in a pile at the end of the sluice...
