[@jeffcarroll1990shock]

A man who realizes that you can't get anywhere unless you pay someone much older than you a small sack of gold for the privilege to continue mining on their land.

[@JohnDoe-lx3dt]

Parker is an old timer in a new age, pure drive and determination and he’s earned all he has

[@scottwall8419]

Earned besides all the stuff he was given. He seems to work hard but let's not pretend he started with a gold pan and now what he is.

[@iiyyxxnn]

Truth is it was all given to him, maybe for a reason maybe not but that's not what he is to be judged on. We would all do the same. Judge what he can control. Hatred will not help you succeed.

The whole reason I ever watched this show is to see Parker do his thing. A fascinating brilliant person. This show has been a great teacher of how to run your own business, how to manage your employees, how to operate under pressure and maintaining respectful communications and attitudes between others while maintaining empowerment for optimal operations.

It’s been amazing watching Parker over the years. Taking over when his grandad died and has come a long way⛏️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Joseph-jx8bl]

It’s been interesting to see Parker grow as a person and a business owner over time. He’s definitely wise beyond his years.

[@InTheBleakMidwinter666]

He's got it mastered , just be a massive dic especially to your so called friends,

[@realvargr]

A man that can show up and own up to his mistakes (even those that are unforseen and out of his control) is a honorable man.

[@HBMinnesota]

I’ve admired Parker for years. Such a brilliant and smart person. Looked up to him!

[@PGains]

Parker is gonna be the king of gold, he’s doing so well and his grandad is so dam proud of him.

[@hlf_coder6272]

I agree he's promising and bright, but gold is a notoriously fickle field. It has completely broken many millionaires in the past. His greatest asset is actually the exorbitant amounts of money he receives for letting a camera crew follow him around

[@kenweis7913]

Not necessarily.....he goes real big to much.....he's not even done mining one claim and grasping for more

[@jeffboelter1409]

Old video, with morals and values that need to still exist.

[@richpaydirt]

Look for more videos of John Reeves. Including the Joe Rogan experience. This guy uncovered the greatest collection of ice age fossils known to man on one of his properties. Worth more than gold. He’s an amazing guy, hardworking and no-nonsense. Hope to see him on this show a lot more.

[@deandredunbar9618]

lol no he didn't he just happened to buy the land it was on and noone else was able to get anything off that land lol

[@KoreanBulldog95]

If there ever was a reason for Parker to get a documentary made about him…. Adam Driver is the first call to make.

[@paulorchard7960]

I like John Reeves, he is a businessman and a shrewd one, he did not get where he is by being unforgiving or taking advantage just being the guy on the spot at the time to strike wins when they presented themselves! Him and Parker will do well together, they can both work with give and take and both are hungry!😅

[@drsmith4806]

Man parker has really changed since the days of him learning the business from his grandpa & i miss the early episode's

[@WonderboyWDE]

It’s crazy to see that 100 ounces of gold, well actually I’m guessing about 175 or 200 ounces of gold, fit in the same sack that a fifth (25.6 ounces) of Crown fit into. Just can’t fully appreciate how dense it is until you see the comparison sometimes. Straight nuts!

[@lnr12241]

The glass takes up most of the sack when Crown is in it.

[@davidsnyder2000]

This is a way old video being replayed. But always nice to revisit

[@handlaidtrack]
