The honey hole idiot pulled that same, shady trick again.

He brought out gold, then whipped out another mason jar after he misled his workers.

He is skimming gold from his workers. Of that, I am sure.

Tv drama made for tv. Orthewise you would just be watching a bunch of digging and washing.

No doubt. But he's made that same move over the years. I know I wouldn't trust any of those assholes. Also, in real life.

I guess it ruined my bullshite radar.

I'm actually watching it now. I pull for Parker. He is young but learns. He is running a good crew and making money. When he is 20!years in the business he will be the shite.
I love the connection he and his grandpa has.

I would like to know their equipment and fuel costs. Don't know if they're making money or not on gold. TV money is probably decent.

There is no way they are making big money without the money from the show.

Toad Hoffman makes most of the show money.

Todd makes $22k/episode and gets bailed out by Discovery often. He also has investors pay for the majority of his running costs. The other main characters only make around $1-5k/episode and are out of pocket on everything else. I believe Parker makes in the neighborhood of $12.5k/episode and pays for almost all of his shite. He and Todd are the highest paid guys on the show


That's all info from cast members and miners that know or have dealt directly with them

Eta: Running costs on equipment like they use is normally $100/day/machine with fuel prices right now

One of my peeves is when people refer to their firearms as weapons. So you're implying that you use them in the course of commiting a crime?

I've only watched it a few times but Parkers family kicks arse. They've been involved in various industries around here for decades.

With Parker's costs, he's cutting it close. The cost of diesel must kill them.
Also, I hear Parker owns most of his heavy equipment. That's huge.

The 16 year old having to get that hose to the creek is good stuff.
